KENNEWICK ON THE
COTIIMRJA

The great Palouse philosopher
says, "Hell is not so much the
curses we. endure as it is the
many blessing we miss"
Do you remember few years
ago when cattle were so cheap
that all the men who tried to
raise them went broke and had to
quit "rustling" and go to work ?
The big packing companies felt
their business slipping and held
big meeting and voted to spend
100000 advertising meat and
it's products. The shorthorm breed
ers did the same and the hereford
people not to be outdone by their
Lifetime rivals followed suit.
Whether the money was actually
spent or not I do not know, but
if it was it didn't help the cow
business as much as if the three
quarters Of a million dollars had
been used to raise the price of
beef cent pound on the hoof
at the terminal markets. We would
have filled this country so full
of cattle that there wouldn't have
been any alfalfa hay left to make
cigarettes and breakfast food for
the deserving poor.
When I was a. kid, the women
would take a bushel of fifteen
corn, boil it in I've and make hon.
my enough to last all winter. Now
some enterprising company takes
the same fifteen cents worth of
hominy, runs it through a hot
roller to make it flat and brown
and sells it to us for fifteen dol
lars and laughs when we kick
about the 3shigh cost of living"
Now comes friend McNary, par
aiding up and down the land try
ing TO get bill through congress
to give the down troden farmeh
relief from many fancied all
ments by artificially boosting the
price Of his product.
The farmers of this country
need relief alright but not in price
adjustment alone.
The pests that follow in the
farmers footsteps and prey upon
the fruit of his labor are many
annoying and should be eradicated.
When this country was new and
the Indians were considered a
menace a farmer had a right to
carry a gun and shoot to kill to
protect his family and property.
Even that has been taken away.
In the spring the free hooters
gouge out the asparagus, in the
summer the boomers fitch our
grapes, berries and melons and
in the fall comes the hunters
with their dogs and guns tromp-
ing down the crops and harassing
our live stock.
But the worst of all is the
sstater bug" Inspector.
It is not the farmers own QUITO
mobile that makes him poor but
the ones he has to keep UP for the
merchant, the doctor, the lawyer
and the banker, and here we are
doubly blessed by having the
privilege of keeping a fleet OF
cars in running trim for our So
called agricultural Inspectors.

LEGAL LOOPHOLES

In a recent San Francisco case the United States Circuit Court of Appeals decided that privaey owned quors unless sold held in violation of law, cannot be seized by Federal prohibition agents.
 The decison while only of many since prohibi- ton became in forc only adds to the growing confusion of what the Vostead law really to accomplish For
 long time after its enactment 1t moot question whether not the wording of the act to liquors pos sessed in ones home within the provisions Of enforcement whether the clause referred only to stocks of liquor hand at the time the Vosead act be- came effective There is still variance of construction between the lower and higher courts and between the Federal and the State courts notwithstanding recent de- velopments in decisions and amendments.
 The point turns whether possession of liquor on prescription of reputable physician for medical purpos es are the only kinds of possessions allowed by the law In understanding liquor possessed any other way or with any other intent constitutes violation.
 But why doesn't the law come right out and say so, and why do not the courts have unanimous opinion as to it's construction?
 The Volstead law is not any clearer some of its points than the decisions of the courts that have had to wrestle with it and administer it. There is growing need for clarficaton of legal phraseoogyc ord nary language that the ordinary people can un derstand Our legislative bodies should say what they have to say in unambiguous terms.
 Many lawyers, judges and even laymen believe that the prohibition law is fairly well construed and settled to what it means There are others who believe that definite set of phrases would eliminate doubt the law is not certain in it's context and ii the American people are determined to have prohibition in fact well as name if America expects to stop the drinking of n tOxicating liquor as beverage and its alleged mprOv dence and drunkenness why leave any part of the law de- signed to correct these evils in vagueness and doubt With the wealth of words the richness of the English language and it's power of expressing thought there should be left little uncertainty putting into phrases and sentences the exact thing that is meant

BRIDGE WORK WILL CEASE UNTIL SPRING
 ON LOCAL HIGHWAY
CONTRACTOR KEEL WILL oTAkE OUT STRUCTURES; RESUMES
 IN SPRING

 of all work on the two new bridges, over Mineral Creek and a branch of Resurrection River, owing to weather conditions The work will be continued and completed in the spring, MT. In gram, resident engineer for the B. of P. R., stated yesterday, when condi- tions will permit MT. Keil, and sub- contractors, to complete the job with out the past handicaps which have slowed things up.
 Mr. Ingram, accompanied by Mrs. Ingram, will depart for Juneau next Saturday where he will remain at the headquarters of the department until spring, then back to Seward. But in the meantime, MT. Ingram said, MT. Keil will wreck the old bridge struct- ures which still remain under the two new ones. This work can best be ac- complished during the winter months when low marks in rivers and creeks are reached.
 MT. Ingram paid distinct compli- ment to MT. Keil, and to those work ing with him, for the high class work done on this project~-"I can frankly say that in all my experience I have never worked with better contractor than MT. Keil" he said. Having had many years training as an engineer MT. Keil understands the value of CO., operation along work of this nature which makes for smoother progress and ironing out of many items with little difficulty"
 No one can appreciate the construc- tion of these bridges until they per sonally make an inspection. Few are. travelling out that way these days on account of the weather and the added fact the roadway beyond is necessar- fly blocked while construction is under way. but with the arrival of spring and resumption of road travel, pleasant surprise awaits them.
 The bridges are literally handmade and as such are marvels of handiwork of the contractors Massive timbers are weaved in such fashion bewilder ing to the layman. Both bridges are | of the Howe truss type, each span 1O2 I feet in length. They are within short distance of each other at Mile 1-4.
 The first, over branch of Resurrec- ton, measures approximately 162 feet overall. The second, over Mineral Creek, is 200 feet long. These meas urements embrace the approaches on both ends. Specifications call for dead load of five pounds per square foot: dead load of snow of 25 pounds per square foot and live load of 10
 ton truck per 70 square feet of road way.
 Douglas fir is being used thoughout and in this connection MT. Ingram stated the timber being used IS as
 choice material as any he has ever seen put into work of this kind. The | timber is not only creosoted with
 three coats but in addition has been treated with pitch adding years of life to the wood.
 The bridge crossing Mineral Creek will he housed in as protection from I the weather. The sloping roof, sides 1 and portions of each end, will be cov- cred with gavalnized iron. The ap-
 breaches will be on a grade of less than five-percent.

wildly happy in the fond belief that
she had succeeded
The temporary reconciliation came
about Immediately upon the termina-
ton of her engagement at the Alph-
erosion hotel and her return home
two days before Christmas. They
had been out to dinner on the eve
ming of her return, at the Prince
Sing Tu Fong, with her father n
Father Pat as their guests.
Jill was looking more like her old
self than she had looked for many
months. Jack noticed the bright
sparkle in her eyes and the natural
color in her cheeks. She must have
been getting plenty Of sleep. He
noted again, too. as he had done on
man previous occasions, that his
wife never drank any liquor, as
nearly all the women in their set
did. He remarked upon this.
ats their privilege, II they want
10 drink" she replied, cheerfuily,
"just az it's my privilege TO refuse
it,"
She picked up her handbag lying
on the dresser, opened IL and search
ed about in its various compart-
ments. At last she found it-a fold
ed slip Of light blue paper.
.Here. Jack" she said, extending
the slip toward him, take 1t and
deposit 1t tomorrow with tn regular
account"
He unfolded the paper and looked
ut Is. Jill, watching him ~covertiy,
saw his face light up suddenly in
surprise and pleasure. II was O GER
titled bank draft for $1,000, drawn
on a Pittsburgh bank. That which
had occasioned Jacks surprise, how
ever, was the fact that il was made
payable to him, Jack M. Stuart

ed, protestingly, lit belon-s to you
entirely-you earned u! i couldn't

I'm not asking you 70 accept ~

the first touch Of humor she had
used in her talk 10 him for q
month. "Just plaster IL onto u

He tied the little expression OF
endearment on, after an almost i'm
perceptible hesitation. But, since u
was the first time he had used the
old familiar term-or even address,

weeks she grabbed at Il almost des-

Then: "And-Jack, you haven't

She brought out the last three
words of the accusation in a tone
that went into creseendo. As til fl
nal note was struck, his arms went
around her. and hers around his
neck. Then the kiss. that he had
been withholding since "hesven

CHAPTER XXXV

"And SO he's her partner now, Ell ?"
The angry light in Jack Stuart's eye
had grown into an ugly glitter. Never
had he liked the professor from the
hour OF their first meeting, and now.
Il tell you, Jack, you're letting
your wife make a fool Of you'll"
This was the consoling opinion,
contemptuously given, that Jack
Stuart obtained from Nita Ravelle
that same afternoon. She was sit
cross-kneed in one of his luxuri-
Gus office chairs. Hers was just q
"sociable" call, and therefore they
could discuss personal affair with
out transgressing business ethic.
II could have told you yesterday.
she went on, in spiteful resentment
against his expression of faith in
Jill. that she had asked tn pro-
fessor to join her in place Of her
brother. But you wouldn't have be-

Jack. indicating BY his words the
nature of the conversation, or rather,
its trend. 1T has a suspicious look
perhaps. this taking him on as a
partner. but"
He broke off, shaking his head In
refused to accept appearances as
prima facia evidence of infidelity.

on ~stubbornly. "Tve lived with Jill

But she's straight know that. of

Enthusiastically angry. as she could
