G.. OF C. FINDS
PORT MONEY
Seek Way to Get Funds
Work n Relief Plans
for Winter

That a dollar spent now will dc
the work of three in the winter
when it comes to relief work is
the opinion of some of the mem
bers of the Chamber of Commerce
A movement was started last
week to save some of the produce
of the district which cannot be
shipped profitably and use it this
winter to relieve conditions.
This idea has been expanded
somewhat over the original one
In addition to saving fruits and
vegetables, householders are to be
urged to can stuff TO their own
use, including putting up meat &
eggs and other produce. To fur
Their investigate the possibilities
of the plan M. M. Moulton, Don
Thompson and A. F. Brown were
appointed on committee which
will report its findings to the or.
ganization.
1t was reported that consid-
cradle sum .of money was being
carried by the county treasurer
which had been collected by the
old Port of Kennewick. In an eff
fort to release this money for use
committee was appointed to in
vestigate. 1t was hoped to secure
sizeable sum and make such
improvements as would prove OF
benefit to the fair grounds. The
committee, upon Investigation this
afternoon discovered that there is
something over $500 belonging
to the port district.
just what preliminaries are
necessary to get access to this
money have not yet been ascer-
tanned. It is likely, however, tina,
special election must be called
to elect a new board of directors
who will be permitted to transact
business for the district. III. S
Hughes, G. C. Williams and r. E.
Reed make up the committee II
charge of this activity.

State Board Approves
Local School Conditions

The State Board of Education
at its annual meeting on June 49,
10, 1881, approved the following
report on the Kennewick Hight
School:
Enrolment in the high school
is 226. There are s high school
teachers. The valuation is $2,312,-
TIC. A % mill levy this year pro-
-vided for the payment of the re-
naming one-third of the bonds on
the high school building, which
were due on the twentieth year,
The payment of these bonds, not
being serial bonds, had been ne
elected due to an oversight at the
county court house. Hence, $685.
600 bonds have been retired this
year.
"Half of the students are trans
ported.
'eThis is an exceedingly well or
ganized school. The superintend-
ent is also high school principal
The grounds are well kept and
handicapped"
Accredition of your high school
is continued, by action of the
State Board of Education, June
10, 1881.

BASIN PROJECT
START POSSIBLE
IN NEXT YEAR
DR.. Mead Sees Possibility Of
Start of s2OO,OOO,OOO Irri-
CATION Scheme to Water
100000 Acres

A s200,O0O,00O irrigation pro-
ject which will provide water for
million and a half acres in East
ern Washington may get under
way next year, DR.. Elwood Mead,
commissioner of reclamation said
this week in an interview to the
Associated Press at Denver.
DR.. Mead said R. F Walter,
chief engineer Of the reclamation
bureau, would leave for the site
of the project next week to join
congressional committee on ap-
preparations for the department
in an inspection Of the project.
The reclamation commissioner
intimated a plan for developing
part of the project, known as the
Columbia river basin development,
beginning next year probably
would be placed before the COM
mittee. DR.. Mead said the war de-
partment had made study of the
basin with reference to naviga-
ton of the Columbia in time of
war, and that the report on this
study would be out soon.,
DR.. Mead visited the projected
site recently. He said he would
meet with the congressional COM
mission in Casper, Wyo., next
week.

CLUB TO ASK
STATE TO ADD
BRIDGE WALK
Increased Traffic Adds to
Danger to Pedestrians on
PIX Bridge; Want Center
Marker, Too

Increase in the foot traffic over
the bridge across the river since
the toll was removed has created
a hazard which the Chambers of
Commerce of the two towns are
making an effort to eliminate by
asking the state to construct a
foot walk along one side.
The road committees from the
two organizations met Tuesday
night at the Kennewick head
quarters. The matter of painting
a marker stripe down the center
of the roadway and the installa-
ton of lights on the bridge were
discussed. 1t was decided to ask
the state to paint the marker at
once, on account of the narrow
roadway which makes it difficult
to pass.
In the discussion about the in
stallation of lights, it was brot
out that footwalk would serve
the purpose of safety better than
the lights, which would be a
source of continual expense, both
in the installation and mainten-
ance. A committee was appoint
ed to ascertain whether or not
the state could complete the walk
which is already on the new por-
ton of the bridge. The matter will
be taken up soon and a report
made back to the Chamber.

to reductions in value and to
lands being decided to the Irri-
cation Districts, according to a
statement made to the Courier
Reporter yesterday by County
Treasurer, Harry Forsyth.
1.-THE Real Estate valuation,
not including railroads, for 1880
was S5,667, $4,000 and for 1881 it
is S5,2SS, 10000, a loss of $37se
10000" he said "a large amount
of this loss is due to lands beng
decided to the Irrigation Districts,
as 1928, 10000 in valuation has
been lost in this way. The bal
ance of the loss in real estate,
$40, $4,000 is due to reductions on
the poorer class of farm lands
and some city and town lots $780,
$4,000 of the loss being on i'm
proved and unimproved acreage
and $50, $4,000 in city and town
lots.
"The loss in personal property
for 1881 amounts to $262, 465. 90,
the greatest loss being on live
stock and farm machinery, due to
reductions in value by the assess
or, or that class Of property. In
cluded in the total loss On the
personal is s75,00O.00 in value,
which is lost by the purchase Of
the Kennewick-Pas bridge by
the state.
During the past a years, 1927
to 1881, the total valuation of Ben
ton county has been reduced ap-
proximately s2,OS1, $1,000, due to
reductions in land value and to
land being decided to the Irriga-
tion Districts, for delinquent as
sessments and to the county for
delinquent taxes.
Contrary to the general opin-
ion, a reduction in valuation does
not mean a reduction in taxes.
Anyone can readily see that a re-
duction of s2,oSl $1,000 in valua-
ton, which would raise approx
mately S91, 100000 in taxes, is a
total loss to the taxing districts
and therefore higher levy must
be made, on the property remain
ing on the tax rolls, inorder to al
low the various taxing districts
theamount asked for in their bud
gets.
"How and where are we going
to reduce taxes, with the loss in
valuation occurring each year,
which automatically increases the
taxes on the remaining proper
ty. If the legislature passes few
more exemption laws, we will have
nothing left, within few years,
to levy taxes on"

LOCALS TAKE
II STRAIGHT
Double Header Brings {
Wins; Play w. w. for
Championship

Even the stove-up business men
on this side of the river have it
over the ex-bal players on the
other side. Last Sunday the bus
mess men beat Pasco and then the
regular team served Pasco another
dish of the same. The first game
went three innings with a score
of 10, while the regulars made
it 5-4.
The first game was a lot Of
fun. Perc Combelic got his hat on
the corner of his head and let his
shirt tail flop in the breeze while
he got down to pitching in regu-
lar league style. He looked good.
Of course there were eleven men
in the field behind him, so it was
pretty tough picking to get safe
hit anyway.
The rest of the team wasn't SO
hot, tho most of 'em didn't get a
chance to muff. Brick got one
chance and be gathered it in
clean. Don Thompson lost about
twenty pounds in trying to steal
second. Every time he'd get start
ed the batter would foul and he
had to come clear back again.
And the men from Pasco had
about the same sort Of trouble.
Shorty PEBBLES made a 'whizz of
an umpire. He had step ladder
set up behind the catcher and was
calling 'em good. He had a big
gun strapped around him and he
made his decisions stick.
The league managers made a
big mistake in not keeping him on
the Job for the rest of the day.
Perc Combelic and Ole Olson did
the so-called umpiring for the
regular game and some of their
decisions were terrible. However,
no one got fighting mad over it
and the game wagged merrily
along, with a lot of sloppy play
ing on both sides. Kennewick got
a lead in the early part of the
game and Pasco snuck up on 'em
in the seventh and tied it up.
Pasco failed to do anything in
the ninth while Kennewick slipped
over one after having one out.
This win made the 18th straight
win for the locals. Two games lost
during the entire season. Rather
remarkable record, according to
local fans.
Next Sunday the Walla Walla
Bears will come over and tangle
with the locals for the champ
ionship of southeastern Washing
ton. 1t promises to be cracking
good game.
