Flames Attack
Shaffer's Shop

Fire, thought to have been
caused from defective wiring
swept through the building n
which j. F. Shaffer's barber shop
is located, next door to the bank,
Saturday noon and resulted In
$500 damage. Aided by spectators
who rushed to the fire, Shaffel
and his helper carried out all the
furnishings Of the shop. The flames
were confined to the roof and the
upper story, and two streams OF
water, played from front and back,
had the fire out within half an
hour.
Repairs are being made by A.
" McReynolds, which will include
refinishing the walls and ceiling,
which were ruined by smoke and
water. Shaffer will occupy the
building again as soon as the re-
pairs are completed.

pany has just completed the in
stailation of a new piece of ma
emery used in making their grape
juice. The factory is operating at

corners of the world, and large

Water Will Be
Turned Into
bitches Shortly
March Is Set as
Day When Flow Will
Be Started at Head
Gates; Season Early

The opening of the 1880 irriga-
ton season is nearly here in the
Kennewick valley. Weather condi-
tions are those Of an early spring,
says Manager w, C. Muldrow, and
should they continue warm and
favorable the early crop season
will be considerably advanced over
the last two seasons. Soil moisture
conditions are better than usual,
and do not indicate very strong
demand for early irrigation.
In order to play safe, however,
it is the practice Of the Columbia
Irrigation district to start the wa
ter soon enough to permit the care
full and thorough printing of its
bitches, pudding in new structures
and so forth, in the safest possible
manner, and to get a head of wa
ter distributed throughout the en-
tire system for use as soon as it
is needed.
Spring work on cleanup and re-
pairs is well advanced, and water
will be started at the headgates
about Wednesday, March 10. If
everything goes smoothly, water
will reach all parts of the system
in five days.
About March %, the water may
be cut out for a day or two to per-
NIT the settlement Of the banks
against seepage. Then it will be
brought up to full head as rapidly
as the demand builds up. Toll
charge statements are now being
prepared, and will be ready to mail
out about March 90. They will con-
tain full instructions as to time
and manner of~making payments.

Col. District to
Adjust Claims of
.BOndhOIderS
District Asks More
Time, Lower Interest;
Blanket Mortgage
Clause to be Lifted

AT a meeting in Spokane Tues
day with representative from the
bond holders of the Columbia r.
rigation District, the directors,
manager and attorney came to an
understanding regarding the sit
uation here. Another meeting will
be held in Kennewick tomorrow
friday in an attempt to arrive
at a basis for adjustment of the
bonded Indebtedness.
The Columbia district, which OBJ
crates the gravity canal, has a
bonded Indebtedness of $550, 900,
besides an issue Of warrants. In
terest alone on these bond issues
amounts to better than $4,000 a
year. Also the time for repayment
has been reached and the district
is not in a condition to handle it.
These meetings with the bond
representatives are for the pur-
pose of securing a method Of set
Element which the district can
make. Along with the adjustment,
it is hoped that a definite indebt-
edness against each tract Of land
can be determined, so that the
owner may be assured of a perfect
title when he has completed pay
ments on his land. ans
The district directors hope to
have the payments spread over
longer period Of time and are
asking for a reduction in interest
rates.

Kiwanis Sponsors
Benefit Comedy
For PJayfield
Richland Players
Will Present "a Full
House" Wednesday
At M. E. Church

To raise money for the play
ground operations this year, the
local Kiwanis club is sponsoring
a screamingly funny three-act play
at the Methodist church next We'd
nesday night. The play was put
on by the Richland Community
Players there recently and was
such and outstanding success that
they were asked to play in White
Bluffs. It took very well there also
and the local club has secured their
services here.
According to the ballyhoo, the
play is one of the cleverest farces
ever written and played for two
years on Broadway and has been
q general favorite with colleges and
dramatic clubs over the country.
Requiring a cast of thirteen, "a
Full House" gives ample opportun-
ity for plenty of action and rib
tickling situations. Imagine sit
uation in which a bride, her maid
en- aunt, two young lovers, q clever
lawyer, two policemen, travelling
man, an English butler, q very
dumb maid, a chorus girl, some
valuable jewels, the owner Of the
jewels, and the indignant owner Of
the apartment, all get in the apart
ment and no one is allowed to
leave. This is what happens in "a
Full House." The jewels appear
and disappear, or as Ned would
say, "Now you see them, and now
you don't"
Music furnished by Richland or
chestra.
The play is staged under the d.
rection of Gladys West, dramatic
instructor in the Richland high
school and Harold E. Wilkinson.

CHERRIES IN GOOD
SHAPE, SAYS IMAGINATION

A cherry branch lying on the
counter of the Big Y office bears
testimony to the high hopes Of
cherry growers in the Kennewick
district. The twigs are loaded with
swelling buds, which r. @. Mac
mahon declares are larger and
stronger than those of the 1929
season at the same period. This
condition will do much to carry the
buds intact through the spring
frosts and combined with the
abundance of potential blossoms,
gives a bright cast to the 1880
cherry outlook.

Kennewick Quota
For Chest Set
AT $500 Total
Largest Portion will
Go to Institutions with
Benefit to Local Needs;
Drive to be Short

A meeting of the community
chest committee has been called
for Friday night by Charles Pow
ell, chairman. At that time teams
will be assigned to the districts Of
the Kennewick territory, and the
quota distributed.
On Monday night, the committee
drew up the final budget, which
established $500 as Kennewick's
total quota. The majority of the
funds will be used right here for
organizations whose benefit Is re-
ceiyed by Kennewick people.
The territory will be divided IN
to districts co-extensive with Ken
newick and the country tributary
to It. Each district will have it's
own quota, and own team which
will do the soliciting in two days.
When the quota is apportioned, a
meeting Of the solicitors will be
held. The workers will be given
names and addresses and instruc-
lions.
Responses Of the members Of
the community to the publicity CIV
en- the drive thus far show that the
reception Of the solicitors will be
favorable, Powell intimated. The
determination Of the committee to
turn over the major portion Of the
budget to institutions with local
benefit is partly responsible for
this attitude, he believes.
