Christmas Tree AT
Four Street Corners
To Be Lighted Until After
Holidays; No Exercises
This Year

Kennewick will be all dolled up
for the holidays when the plans
now being worked out are complet-
ed. Not one tree, but four, will
grace the main highway, and they
will all be lighted up and help the
town assume the holiday spirit.
Backed by the Legion, and the
Kiwanis club committee is out
getting the cooperation of the
business men along the street to
defray the cost Of making the dec
orations. 1t is planned to make the
scheme of more or less perman-
ent nature, adding to it each year.
Other towns thruout the state
are going into this decorating
scheme on a greater scale than
ever this. year and some Of the re-
suits are charming in the extreme.
Many towns are featuring light
ed outdoor trees, plan which is
rapidly growing in favor, espec-
tally in the residence section.
Some of the business houses are
adding decorations to the outside
of their establishments, the first
one to get his up this year being
Emil Behrman, the jeweler. Frank
Green is in charge of the decora-
ton of several other of the bust
ness houses. NJ
BY the last of this week most of
the merchants will have their
Christmas stocks on display and
each will have special window dis
plays for the holidays, featuring
the Christmas goods.
So far no plans have been made
for program on the streets as
has been the custom in former
years.

Three Rivers Growers Complete
Successful Season; Packout Big

5E All iifSlCdSS III tilc tOlQLHC u
business, together with decrease
in handling charges, were the main
features emphasized at the an
nual meeting of the Three Rivers
Growers held Monday of this
week in the King building.
Asparagus accounted for the
bulk of the increase in the volume,
which amounted to 26 percent, ac-
cording to Lee Lampson today.
The handling charges, which in
clnde the pre-coofing and selling
costs, were reduced from 11.37 per
cent to I'LL per cent. As pointed
out in comparison made a year
or two ago, these figures are the
lowest, with one exception in Micn-
igan, of any Of the cooperatives.
The average handling charge runs
from Ia to 25 per cent.
The grass deal offers the bright
est outlook of any of the local
crops, according to Mr.. Lampson.
He pointed out that the April mar
kets were always good for the To-
cal stuff, and now that cannery
contacts had been made at, such
satisfactory figures for the May
cuttings, the grass industry would
undoubtedly continue to show the
biggest increase. The 3-Rivers or
ganization had eannery outlets for
all the crop they could deliver in
widely scattered districts. A can
merry in Western Canada and one
in Eastern Canada and one in Ore
gon were taking grass as well as
the one up the valley.
An increase in the acreage Of
berries was. indicated by the grow
ers who attend the meetings. A
gradual change to heavier produc-
ing varieties is to be tried. Last
year the long haul markets were
again entered with satisfactory
results, Mr.. Lampson said, and the
newer varieties will be tried this
coming year So
The cherry situation is not so
serious as some seem to think. TN
my opinion said Mr.. Lampson,i
ssthe commercial orchards; undar
fifteen years old will not suffer
pernnaneutly from the freeze last
year, altho the cold caused an un-
usual amount of trouble this year
The size, flavor and difference In
all retarded spring sales
this spring. The market outlook
for the coming year is as good as
it ever was. 81
Reports showed that the 8 Riv-
ers averaged $50 per ton returns
net to the growers for the season
on spuds. This, of course, took in
the high prices in the early part Of
the season, as well as the abnor-
mally low prices at the end Of the
season.
The annual election of board
members resulted in the reelection
of A. L. Hanrmang, Richland; E.
F. Clemens, Pasco; Geo. Sellick,
Valley and C. G.. Campbell replac-
ing Jas. Johnston from the Valley.

Commercial Club Engages in
Many Activities During Year

has been undertaken by the Local
Commercial club, according to The
annual report submitted to the
club at today's meeting. Mr.. Car.
penter's report was read in full
and was accepted by the club.
The major activity of the club
was in the matter of the rehabili-
alton of the Highlands. With spec
ial fund collected by the club, the
appropriation for the work was Sc
cured and the work of getting the
project under way is nearly COM
pleted. Work on the project viii
be started soon after the first OF
the year, is is hoped.
The plans for refinancing the
bond issue on the Columbia ditch
have progressed to satisfactory
conclusion and the club takes no
little pride in this accomplishment.
This was one of the most serious
problems confronting this district
and its satisfactory settlement has
done much to stabilize the farming
situation here.
"The bridge problem the report
continues, "was carried over from
last year, as the result of the APP
preparation of 100000 made BY
the legislature being insufficient.
Our committees have worked with
those from Pasco in creating a
statewide demand for a free
bridge. Nothing has been left un-
done to speed the day. Contacts
ave been made with the governors
office, department of public works,
many legislators and most cham
bers of the state. We expect fav-
orable action at the coming session
of the legislature"
Help on the development of the
Kennewick gas fields, the elimin-
alton of fire hazards thru the raz-
ing of old buildings and clearing
up dead advertising matter, the
occurring of the Neon highway sligo,
the community chest, the Danish
ment Of butter substitutes, aid on
the airport, the fair carnival and
the aid to the securing of a favor
able census report were among the
activities of the club during the
year.
Other things the club engaged in
were the attempt to secure better
freight rates on boxed, apples, the
opposition to the reapportionment
bill which is so unfair to- Benton
county, and the, enlightenment of
the voters on the issues at election
time. Sending the Kennewiek rep
resentatiyes. to the Spokane fair
was also financed by the club as
we'll as contributing to the Yakima
Valley Dairy Development League.
State and local road work als-
receives attention by the club. The
club maintains the offices for the
county club leader and the county
agent, which in itself is of i'm
mense value in keeping these of
ficials in this end of the county.
The club rooms are also maintain
ed for the use of othcer civic or
ganizatipns. IS
L. E. johnson, who represented
the local club at the meeting of
he State Good Roads association
Wenatchee last week gave a report
of the meeting. State Highway pa-.S
trolman Marvin Canadian was all
so a speaker. He explained the
work of the highway departing 1T
in the matter of eliminating acci-
dents. He explained TO the club
members the technical points Of
adjustment. His talk was
one which every motorist should
hear.

All the power that can be pro.
duced from the mammoth project

umbia river, viii be absorbed in
the Pacific Northwest in the period
from 1910 to 1855, Officers of the
Columbia River Development Lea
que reported in the daily press re-
Gently.
Results of an independent inves-
LEGATION Of the future power mar
ket according to James O'Sullivan,
executive secretary, show that the
great Columbia river project will
be feasible along the plans sug-
gested by DIR. Elwood Mead, COM
missioner of reclamation, under
which power sales would be requir-
ed to meet interest and pay the
construction cost over fifty-year
period.
The problem of marketing the
immense power that would be pro-
vided by a dam at Grand Coulee is
among the matters expected to be
covered in the official report Of
United States army engineers,
scheduled for presentation to con-
gress next summer.
In advance of the army findings
O'Sullivan announced the results
of his own investigations.
"By 194O," he said, "the cleo
trio utilities within economic trans
mission distance of Grand Coulee
will require nearly 100000 horse
power in excess of their present
production. Even if this demand
were deferred until 1915, it would
still fit in with the requirement
that Grand Coulee power pay for
the dam and main canal in fifty
years after completion Of con-
strpction."
IN contrast, O'Sullivan said,
survey of present developments
and those planned for the imme-
diate future, show they will pro-
vide only about one-half Of the In
crease in load he estimates.
Loads Double
cit may seem impossible" he
said, shat the load on present sys-
TENS should jump from 100000
to 100000 horsepower in ten
years. And yet the load of the Sc
attic system is actually doubling
every five years and the Washing
ton Water Power Company is Al
most doing the same"
O'Sullivan said his estimate
made no account of increased de-
mand that would result from the
project, or completed railway cleo
and other installations,
which might be expected to follow
the tapping of the immense new
power supply.
"There is even better power
market for the Grand Coulee than
for Boulder Dam,H O'Sullivan said.
'Our power market is increasing
as fast as it is in. Southern Califor-
MIA and faster than IN. Northern
California. While the population
there is increasing much faster
than in the Northwest, the people
Of California will not need in tbs
future as much power. per capita,
as we will. For example, irrigation
BY pumping has already reached
vast scale in California. It is just
in Washington and will
require extensive power.
Electric utilities will come TO
the Grand Coulee for cheap, de-
pendable, year-ir and year-oat

MARATHON COURSE
TO Be: WATER LINE
Marble-F Dam Will Di-
vert River to Supply
AthenianS.

The original course of the marathon
will soon become water course by the
efforts Of American engineers and Greek
workmen.
A dam at Marathon, impounding the
Charadra River, to divert the water for
the use of Athens, is being completed.
AS ancient Greece built her temples of
marble, so modern Greece builds her
dams, and the new dam at Marathon
is said to be the only marble-faced dam
in the world.
Paul Revere of Athens.
"Over the route that Pheidippides ran
% miles to bring good news of victory
over the Persians water will soon run
to refresh thirsty AthenianS." says a
bulletin of the National Geographic
Society.
"Pheidippides had won races at the
Olympic games, so the city council
called on him in that emergency 1920
years ago. A few days previous to the
battle they asked him to run down to
Sparta to persuade the SpartanS to
bring up reinforcementS. When he re-
turned the army had marched and was
encamped on the heights above the
Plain of Marathon, which is on the
other side of the peninsula from Athens.
So PheidippideS took up his heavy
shield and spear and set out to join the
troops.
when the Greek charge routed the
Persian army Pheidippides dropped his
spear and shield and sprinted for
Athens. Tradition says that he ran %
miles from the battlefield only to fall
exhausted, crying out before he died,
'Rejoicel We conquerl'
"a Greek runner won the marathon
when the difdcult race was revived at
the first modern olympic games, held
in Athens In 1896. The ofacial dis
lance has been increased from the %
miles that Pheidippides ran to IS miles
385 yards.

hold that the tactics of the Greeks
were the result of happy accident rather
than examples of superior military wis
dom. Darius, King of Persia, had or
dered his general to enslave Athens
and Eretria. Eretria fell, and the Per-
slams drew their ships up on the sands
at Marathon and disembraked cavalry
and infantry.
THE Athenians and their allies
meanwhile had taken position in the
narrow passes of the highlands which
run down the peninsula. In these
passes the Persian cavalry was useless.
Finally the Greeks, though fewer in
numbers, boldly attacked in a running
charge. The Persians repelled the CEN
ter of the charging Greek line, whose
ends then swung in with crushing at
tacks on both TANKS. The invaders
fed to their boats and showed OF, al
though the Greeks succeeded in captur-
ing seven ships.
"Mafatilon has also been made IA
nous by the lines of Lord Byron, who
lost his life in the modern Greek revo-
luton against the Turks:
+" The mountains look on Marathon
And Marathon looks on the sea;
And, n1using there an hour alone,
7 dream'd that Greece might still be
free;
For, standing on the Persian's grave,
] could not deem myself slave"
