1 ing interests provided for the leas- 1 ing of sites for a period of four years, with the privilege of renew | al, if the government approved. In addition to any other taxes that might be levied against fish catches or fishing equipment, the measure levied a trap site tax of $1 for every thousand fish caught in the trap.
 Could Be Revoked
 The bill, which made no changes in the rules or jurisdiction of the fisheries authorities, provided that the trap lease could be revoked by the government at the end of any but the first year of the four-year term. It was a just bill It did not affect present regulations or taxes. It merely afforded a measure of stability to fishery interests and yet guarded the public interests.
 MT. Paul, it is said, received $6,000 or so for his work in con- nection with the bill. He received not to exceed $1,20O, which was not much more than enough to pay his expenses while he was in Seattle conferring with fishery interests. The bill was never introduced in Congress, chiefly for the reason that the packing and cannery in terests could not agree among themselves as to the trapsite tax of $1 for every thousand fish.
 Deemed Just Measure
 The bill is just bill. It ought to be enacted.
 Of course, I believe the fish as well as the fur and the game re- sources of Alaska should be placed exclusively under the control of the people of Alaska-in other words, under the authority of the Terri torial Legislature. If elected, I shall introduce in Congress a bill to this effect. I recognize that powerful bureaus will be arrayed against such a measure and that there is strong sentim ent in Congress against such a change. I do not promise to effect it, but I do prom ise that I shall do everything that I possibly can to bring it about
 "One other thing: I strongly ad- vocate the proposed International Highway. From the main highway, I favor construction of a branch along the Taku River, which with ferry facilities, would make con- nections with Juneau. If elected, l shall urge on Congress this under taking, which, I think, is even of greater importance than the build ing of The Alaska Railroad.

BOYS AND GIRLS!
 LISTEN TO CHIEF

Now boys-and girls, too maybe you can't be good tonight, Hal lowe'en. But be as good as it is possible to be. That's what Chief of Police Getchell wants.
 There is no objection to inno- cent pranks," explained the Chief. But hoodlumism will not be toler- ated. Malicious damage or destruc- tion of property will be severely dealt with. Parents can cooperate with the authorities and keep children out of trouble by insisting that they be at home within req sonable hour. Fun is fun, and can be enjoyed without resort to rowdy conduct"

Bendixen Discusses
Butter Substitute

Animal Husbandry Professor,
i'm Letter to the Commercial
Club, Compares Butter to

The enormous slump in but
ter prices has brought the
use of butter substitutes for
chilly to the attention of. the
people of dairy districts. Rea-
sons for this slump, as given
by III. A. Bendixen, associate
professor of animal husban-
dry at W.S.C., are a slight in
crease in production during
the last season, and decrease
in butter consumption due to
financial stringency and pres
ence of substitutes on the
market.
Present low prices of but
ter are temporary, Bendixen
says in a letter to the Ken
newick Commercial club, but
they create a serious problem.
Consumption of all dairy pro-
ducts has increased Of late
years, but butter least Of any,
due to lack of unity among
butter manufacturers.

Man Killed When
He Walks Across
Track Into Train
Nathaniel Hamley, so, Does
Not See Freight Coming;
Son Takes Body to Spokane
For Burial.

Nathaniel A. Hamley, 80
years old and deaf, walked in
front of a freight train Friday
morning and was instantly
killed.
Mr.. Hamley, father of DIR.
E. G. Hamley of Pasco and a
visitor at the Bert Moores
home, was on a path cutting
the track at a diagonal near
the Big Y warehouse. His coat
collar was turned up around
his ears as a protection from
the cold. He apparently Meth
er saw nor heard the ap-
preaching train.
Arthur Hamley of Sprague,
his only other survivor, came
to Kennewick the same day
and took the body to Spokane
for burial beside Mr.. Hamley's
wife. The elderly man, though
born in Iowa, had spent a
large part of his life here. He
had retired from business.
He was enroute from Sprague
to DR.. Hamley's home in Los
Angeles.

FIRE DESTROYS LONE
RANCH; OWNER AWAY

The ranch house belonging
to w. R. Hayes of Richland
was destroyed by fire Tues
day morning when the build
ing burst into flames from an
overheated stove. The ranch
is back in the hills and was
occupied by an elderly man.
With some neighbors he had
gone outside to gather sage
brush. While some distance
from the house they noticed
smoke and rushed back, but
having no water to combat
the fire, they were unable to
save the house. The damage
is estimated at $500.

SAVES FROZEN GIRL
South Dakota Hiker Picked
Up Here; Starving

A long way from her home
in South Dakota, half dead
with the cold, May Sprey was
rescued Tuesday morning by
Harold Fyfe and given lodg-

kota and had been staying a
few days in a shack north of
the Northern Pacific tracks
Miss Sprey stepped into a
pool room here to get warm,
and told her story to Fyfe.
She said she had had nothing
to eat. After feeding her,
Fyfe took her to DR.. HI. j. Ca
pell to have her frostbitten
feet treated. She will remain
at the Cotman house for the
present.

PROSSER CLUB FAvORS
UMATILLA PROJECT

Values of the Umatilla and
Priest Rapids dams were com.
pared by members of the
Prosser Community club at an
executive session Tuesday,
and the Umatilla project was
favored as the most feasible
for immediate support.
In the discussion it was
brought out that the present
plans prepared by the govern
ment engineers have included
four specifications in the low
er dam which would prove of
great value to the Yakima
valley: power and irrigation
facilities, highway bridge
across the Columbia and lock
equipment to stimulate river
traffic.

Blinded By Frost,
Margaret MOultOn
Hits Freight Train
6 Young People in Car Crash
Moving Box Cars and Are
Dragged 80 Feet; No One
Badly Injured

Blinded by the frost on the
car windows, Margaret Moul-
ton drove into a slow-moving
freight train Thursday night
and was dragged 80 feet down
the track. Miss Moulton re-
ceived a severe scalp wound,
cuts and bruises and a bad
shock. Bill Burris, another oc-
cupant of the car, was cut on
the nose and knocked uncon-
scious, but managed to be up
for school the next day. Miss
Moulton was confined to her
bed for several days.
Thelma Anon, Shirley Null
key, Rude Richter and Har-
old Nelson were in the car at
the time of the accident, but
received only minor injuries.
The front frame of the auto
mobile was wrenched by the
impact.
Miss Moulton explained
that the breathing of those in
the car had made a fine frost
over the windows and wind
shield. She was trying to
scrape this off in order to get
a clear view and was entirely
unware that a train was on
the crossing, she said.

Meade Promises an
Early Report Upon
Yakima Project
Federal Committee to Hear
Plans in February; Hope to
Get Money for Highlands
Relief This Year

Word comes from Washing
ton, d. c., this week that
Commissioner Meade has or
dered an early meeting Of the
special committee to investi-
gate the Yakima irrigation
project. The date has been
set for early in February.
Before this committee will
come the pleas for an emer-
gency appropriation for the
rebuilding of the Highlands
pumping plant, as well as
those concerning the Kenne-
wick High Line canal, the Ro-
sa unit of the Yakima project
and the Gle Elum storage pro-
position.
This action on the part Of
the reclamation commissioner
came as a result of a confer
ence secured by Representa-
tive John w. Summers at the
urgent request of M. M. Moul-
ton, who is handling the legal
affairs of the irrigation dis
trict.
AS was explained in these
columns two weeks ago, q
special committee of repre-
sentatives from Yakima, Sum
nyside and Seattle met in
Kennewick to arrange for the
hearing before the fedral COM
imittee. This committee agreed
that an emergency appropria-
ton be asked for the High
lands, in addition to any other
development work whic h
would be considered by the
department.
With Meade's assurance of
an early meeting of the COM
mittee and with an early re-
port therefrom, local men fa-
miliar with the situation are
confident that the appropria-
ton will be made in time to
permit the money to become
available this year. However,
it will not be possible to have
the enlarged system in opera
ton in time for this seasons
use. Installation of the pumps
and the enlargement Of the
laterals will necessarily have
to be done following the irri-
eating season while the canals
are empty.
This announcement coming
from Washington at this time
has been the cause of a reviv-.
al of the optimism for which
this district has long been
noted. Probably no other
event in the history of the
community could be hailed
with such enthusiasm as the
news of the acceptance of this
proposition.

tets put the Kennewick boys

We've got one on Paul Bun
yam. He was always Dragging
about the year Of the blue

the brown snow, and there is
no guesswork or legendary
hearsay about it. From the
middle of Oregon up the Col
umbia valley, q fine brown
powder covered the snowfall
Of Thursday night. In Kenne-
wick, it was like a mild dust
storm. In Oregon, the dust
came mixed with the snow
and a hard gale. Where the
dirt hailed from, nobody
knows, for it refused to an
swer when questioned as to
it's past history.
That's only one of the
freaks of the weather. Sum
day night, when the temper
ature was getting ready for
it's breath-taking drop, at
mospheric conditions caused
a column of light to rise
straight heavenward from
each street lamp, giving the
town the appearance of a bat
terry of powerful searchlights
all trained overhead. It was
a fairy-land scene, but there
was no fable in the mercury
that registered "a below that
night.
The coolest night so far
was Monday when the ther-
mometer made q new low of
~ minus.
Hopes for a 1880 peach and
apricot crop went last week,
but cherries have been part
tally saved by the heavy snow
blanket that covered buds on
tops and sides of branches,
according to Lee Lampson.
He referred to the winter Of
1919, which is still regarded
as the bottom of cold wealth
er, which failed to ruin the
cherries, though causing a
light crop.
Temperatures for the week
are as follows: Sunday night,
"a; Monday, 1T; Tuesday,
rs; Wednesday, 20. Reports
are in that ice on the river
measures one foot thick, and
is frozen solid from bank to
bank. So far, on one has ven
tured to cross it.

League. This action is in en-
fire friendliness to the pres

is prompted solely by a desire

.My work with the state
has been interesting, and
highly instructive. It has car
ried with it a fuller know

tails of it's governmental at

with its people, and a better
understanding of their indi-

best, any state employment

one to say, This is my life

develop and become more USE
full in it. And the longer one
stays on a political job, the
more difficult it becomes for
him to reestablish himself in

leaving it.
"On the other hand, my new
work in the savings and loan
field not only gives promise
of permanency and personal
