Almost a Habit

Deciding that things were get
ting too dull around the place, the
tempermental furnace of the Ho-
yer block staged a little whoopee
party all of its own Saturday aft
ernoon, and smashed five plate
glass windows and tossed an 800
pound paper cutter around like a
bubble. In other words, it blew up,
exploded, disrupted, detonated, or
what have you?
Being stationed directly under
the Courier-Reporter office, the
staff suffered the worst
being temporarily deafened by
the noise and nervously upset by
the whole affair. Three plate glass
windows and red candle of Gas
coigne & Fyfe's were ruined be-
yond repair, and the corner win
dows in the Courier office fell
down on the job and Mrs. p. j.
Reddie, who picked that moment
to walk out the door thought she
had broken the window when she
slammed the door.
It was all over in minute, all
over except the kidding.

Water Rates Levy
Lowered i'm 1880
by District Board
Muldrow Sees Favorable At
titude on Part of Band
Holders in Allowing Cut;
Payments Expiai-ed

At their last equalization ses-
sion, the board of the Columbia Ir-
rigation district set the levies for
the coming year at rates which
result in a substantial reduction
from those of last year. Made with
the tacit approval of the band
holders representatives, this step
marks the first concrete result of
the negotiation to ease the finan-
cial burdens of the district.
The new water rates, which are
now being written in the 1929 roll
and will be due in 1880, will aver
age about $1.30 per acre less than
last years rates, due to a cut in
the levy for bond interest. For the
entire district, this amounts to a
saving of nearly $4,000.
As the lands of the district are
classified by so-called maximum
benefit appraisal, the rates per
acre vary, and the following table
gives the rates for next year on
the principal classes of land COM
pared with last year:

N. p. PROMISE AID
TO WATER PROJECT
Development Agent
Outlines Scheme to Refinance
Insolvent PascO District


Through its agricultural devel-
opment department, the Northern
Pacific railway is planning to de-
vote a large amount of time to the
irrigation projects in eastern
Washington in need of assistance.
This statement was made in
Walla Walla Tuesday by w. P.
Stapleton of Spokane, agricultural
development agent for this region.
The railway is cooperating in
the plan to place 5000 acres in the
Pasco project on a firmer basis,
necesitating move by the bond
holders to deposit their securities
with a committee to refinance the
deal. Most of the outstanding OBJ
legations against this project have
been pledged, but nearly 100000
in bonds is still to be pledged, ac-
cording to B. B. Horrigan, Pasco
attorney, Stapleton said. A small
er acreage will be developed and it
will be concentrated.

COUNTY AGRICULTURAL
COUNCIL ORGANIZED

At a meeting Of representative
farmers from most of the commul-
tiles of the county, held at Prosser
last Saturday afternoon and fore
noon, county agricultural coun-
Gil was organized. The following
officers were elected: c. F. Woo
ten, president; ]. d. Sutton, Pros
ser, vice president; j. r. Ayers
Hover, secretary. The following
committee on constitution and by
laws was appointed: j. r. Ayers,
Hover; John Erickson, Richland;
L. A. Tweedt, Kennewick.
This meeting called by the coun-
ty agent had been contemplated
for almost year and, despite the
rather bad condition of roads and
weather, drew a good attendance.
The morning session was given
over largely to discussion of alfal-
IA problems in the county and the
afternoon session largely to dis
cussion and organization and type
of work which the organization
should take up. All present seemed
to feel that there were many prob
lems which could be very effect
lively handled thru an organization
of this kind. So

Winter Carnival

Board for Funds
Suggest Auction Sale, Dance,
Novelties as Combination
Community Entertainment
and Money Raiser

Plans for an auction sale and
winter carnival were discussed
at the meeting of the Fair board
Thursday night as means of rails
ing funds.
With February IA or Is as ten
tative date, the board will conduct
an auction of articles donated by
farmers and business men of the
district. According to E. G. Durdle,
secretary, an attempt will be made
to interest various organizations
in the community, particularly in
conducting the carnival. The board
feels that some event like this
will Gven up the winter.
The boards plan includes secur-
ing a large building where the
sale and carnival could be con-
Quoted together, with possibly a
free dance, tickets for which would
be given to all purchasing good
at the auction. Members of the Fair
board are quite enthusiastic about
this method of providing entertain
ment and raising funds, Durdle
said.

prove Church Building

In a concerted effort to clean up
old debts and make improvements
in the church building for which
there is a crying need, the Kenne-
wick Methodist Episcopal church
launched this week a campaign
known as the Forward Movement.
Aided by the Rev. Roy Sprague
Of Tacoma, the Rev. A. A. Callen-
dar of Yakima and the Rev. E. M.
Hill of Pasco, the Rev. F. N. Nor
ton is making calls on members of
the church. The new pledges are
designed to wipe out all former OBJ
legations.
"The response so far has been
most encouraging" Morton said
Tuesday. "We are not trying to
get the church further in debt, but
to raise fund sufficient to put us
in the clear and make our church
more comfortable and attractive.
This will not mean big expense,
for all that is needed is the inn
provement Of few details.
saThe pledges can be cleaned up
within a year, and will not mean
too great burden on any individ-
ual."

Commercial Club
Starts Move for
Community Chest
Siegfried Appoints Committee
to Get Information; Other
Clubs Will be Asked to CO.
operate on Drive

A movement for the formation
of a community chest was started
at the Commercial club luncheon
this noon. A committee has been
appointed by President Siegfried
to gather information and inter
view various, other organizations
who might desire to cooperate in
the movement.
Other towns and cities have
found the community chest idea
a great benefit to their commlln-
tiles in that all charities are thus
cared for in their due proportions
and the overlapping work of con-
Quoting drives for this and that
purpose is eliminated. Business
men and the public generally ap-
prove the idea of definite budgets
for the different causes and also
of the single solicitation.
The special committee will re-
port at the next meeting the day
after Christmas, following which
the budget will be drawn up and
the drive made for funds.
A letter was read the club from
w. r. Crawford, former secle-
tary, relative to an inquiry he had
received about glass sand and clay
deposits in Benton county. His let
ter and the matter of gathering
data relative to the development OF
such findings was turned over to
the regular standing industrial
committee.
The club was also asked by the
Columbia Development League to
urge local businessmen and others
interested to prepare carefully the
QUESTIONABLE which will shortly be
mailed, relative to the development
of traffic on the Columbia river.
c.. A. Carpenter, secretary, urges
all those receiving questionnaires
to fill them out and return them
Immediately, that the work of the
engineers making the investiga-
ton may be done quickly as pos
sible.
