sportsman Of Dallas. Tex. announced
here today he had reopened his offer of

other needs to start.
Maj. Ting Ling Haung, Chinese avia-
tor, already has plane half completed

WELL-MERITED PRAISE

;
THE report made on Kennewick's
city government by Wesley
Smith, state examiner, paid a par
ticular compliment to those who
have been our officials. Many men
are known for economy, many for
ability to spend, but rarely are
they known to possess judicious
combination of both. 1t seems that
our city councillors are members
of the favored group.
They have guarded carefully our
funds, and at the same time look
ed to cur progressive welfare. On
behalf of the citizens of Kenne-
wick, we extend our thanks to
thse who have acted to merit such
praise.
1t is the lot of public officers
to be the constant butt of criticism
and the gibes of dissatisfied pub
lie. When honest praise does come
their way, it is doubly sweet. The
opinion expressed of Kennewick's
credit and standing reflects a good
deal of merited glory on the men
who have striven to administer the
civic affairs with a minimum of
expense and maximum of pro-
gress. We are proud of them.

of our city, one which is a constant

GET YOUR PEN

THREE "Letters of the People"
= were printed on our editorial
page last week. They are the first
ones for a long tine. Whether it
was just accident that they all ap-
peared at once, or whether it is
sign of increased mental activity
hereabouts, we're glad to see them.
The columns of this paper should
be an open forum giving express
sion to local opinion Of happenings
that affect the community. We
would like mighty well to have a
few more of you get busy with the
pen, pencil or typewriter and tell
the world what you think about
this and that.
Leslie Smith certainly proposed
an ingenious and intriguing method
of solving our worm-and- hunting

idea about hogs in the orchards is
right, alright. Every fruit grower
should have enough pigs to keep
his orchard cleaned up. A great

QUILT for wagon travel, in de-
- Tense against dust and mud,
the paving on Kennewick avenue
has seen Is years of hard service.
For quite while it has shown
the effects of age and wear, much
to the disgust of most of us who
now travel in cars. It's high time
to retire that paving, and get a
new one.
When you come in off the oiled
road at the bridge, and hit the
first of the .murderous hummocks
of our main street, pride in your
town is the last of your emotions.
By the time you reach the other
end, having given your automobile
springs the time of their life, you
are ready to turn pedestrian.
Washington street is just as bad
-one would say worse, but that's
impossible.
Why do we tolerate such condi-
ton, when the means of changing
it are in our hands? There is 9
type of paving which can be laic
right over the present one, to 9
depth of about half an inch, which
levels off all the bumps, fills in al
the hollows, and makes skid
proof, heat-proof, dust-proof, har,
wearing surface. The cost of thi
paving, laid on Kennewick avenu
from the bridge to Washington
street, and on Washington stree
from the highway to the southern
city limits, is well within the reac
of our city funds.
