LOCALS LOSE
TO PASCO IN
GOOD GAME
Evenly Matched Teams Bat
tied in Annual Contest, but
'The Breaks" Go to Bull
Dogs Across River.

The football game which the
high school teams look forward to
during the whole season, was play
ed between Kennewick and Pasco
Wednesday on the Pasco field.
Kennewick failed to score, while
Pasco crossed the goal line four
times. Score, "a to 0.
Fans agree that the game was
well played, and even the Pasco
rooters admit that their team
played better ball than they have
shown themselves capable of so
far this season. 1t was fairly
evenly matched bunch and the
score should have been closer, ac-
cording to local boosters who fig
ure that Pasco gots the "breaks''
all thru the session, pointing out
the fact that Kennewick suffered
penalties totaling 80 yards, while
the Pasco team went scot-free.
Official figures for the game
are enlightening. Pasco made first
down 9 times to Kennewick's g.,
gaining thereby 100 yards to Ken
newick's rs. Punting nine times,
Kennewick covered $50 yards,
while Pasco booted eight times for
total of 242 yards. Pasco tried
IL passes, four of which were COM
pleted, five were incomplete and
three were intercepted. They gain
ed by passes 81 yds. Kennewick
tried 18 times, six were completed,
8 incompleted and four intercepted;
a total gain of SO yards.

Fine Youths $25 on
Gas Stealing Charge

On a charge of stealing gasoline
from cars parked in front of the
Wilsey house, two Highlands
youths were fined $25 each in
Justice Huntington's court the
first of the week.
Noting can and hose under
one of the cars, several of the
boarders in the Wilsey house arm
ed themselves and, sitting in the
darkened cars, waited for the re-
turn of the miscreants. AS the
youths drove up in a car without
lights, one of them made a dash
for the can just as one of the
watchers poked shot gun thru
car window.
Hurrying back to the car the
youths attempted to make a get
away when both barrels of the
shot gun blew out a tire. Speeding
on the flat they were overtaken
and the police took them into Gus
tody.
Stoutly denying the charges,
Paul Doering and Glen Moore, the
two accused youths were given a
fine and put to work upon the
streets. The Doering youth was
paroled into his fathers custody,
while the Moore boy is working out
the fine.

Armistice Day was celebrated

Mills related their experiences
when the big guns ceased their
throaty rumblings over in Europe.
OF the bunch, "Red'a Lape was the
only one who was on the active
front that day. He told of the al
most unearthly stiffness which fol-
lowed the heaviest cannonading
period of the entire war; Of how it
was two full days before his crew
could manage to get to sleep ow-
ing to the lack of noise.
The other men who spoke hap

rest camps or on other duty back

many experiences which could not
be related in a school room.
After the Legion's program the
schools were let out to prepare for
the annual football classic in the

group of rooters. In the evening

C. OF C.. BACKS
PLAN OF RIVER
DEVELO PMENT
Passes Resolution Asking
Congress to Proceed with
Work on Harvesting the
Columbia River

The Kennewick Chamber Of
Commerce is endorsing the report
recently made public by u. s. Ar
my engineers who have been
studying the possibilities Of de-
velopment Of the Columbia river.
Al resolution to such effect was
passed by the Chamber at today's
luncheon meeting.
The plan as submitted by the
engineers, calls for the construc-
ton of two dams on the lower Co
lumbia, one at Warrendale and the
other at Cascade Falls. The upper
one, to be nearly 300 feet high,
would create huge inland lake
by backing up the Columbia river
and flooding a large portion Of
the river valley as far as Priest
Rapids, and Is miles up the Snake
river.
The lake thus created would pro-
vide slack water transportation to q
large inland area. The dam would
provide tremendous amount Of
electrical energy to be used for irri-
eating the higher benches of land
tributary to the river and for in
dustrial purposes. 1t is estimated
that the barge transportation pos
sibilities thus developed would be
equal to the conditions existing on
the Mississippi and Ohio rivers to-
day.
These two dams canalizing the
river for a distance Of nearly $50
miles means only two sets of locks
which would not delay the boats
and barges nearly so much as a
series of small ones.
The report states that "The Co
lumbia river offers the greatest
opportunities in the United States
for the development Of hydro-elec-
trio power. The enormous power
potentialities when fully realized
would change the economic aspect
Of the entire Pacific Northwest by
providing power at approximately
half the cost Of generating steam
with fuel oil at 81 per barrel"
The Columbia Valley association
an organization working for the
development of the Columbia river
from all standpoints, transporta-
ton, flood control and power de-
velopment, is urging all interested
communities to memorabilia con-
gress on the desirability Of pro-
viding water transportation on the
river until such time as the build
ing of the dams can be completed.

Light Poles Going PIP
For New Street System

Citizens who roamed the streets
today are beginning to get an ink
ling of how the city will appear
when the new street lights are in
stalled. With the holes dug along
the curbs, the standards are being
set (abiet at the moment somewhat
askew) and the trenches are be-
ing prepared for the installation of
the conduits.
j. C. Roberts, who has the con-
tract for the work, has had crew
busy the past week digging the
holes and trenches and installing
the equipment. Connections will be
made as soon as the poles are set
and it is planned TO have the work
all completed IN time for the first
lighting about Dec. 10.

Thinks Junior College
Idea a Fine Success

That the development Of the
junior college idea and Of decen-
tralizing the educational centers
of the state is under way thruout
the country is the opinion of C. A.
Carpenter, secretary of the local
Chamber Of Commerce, who was
appointed on the advisory board
of the Yakima junior college.
Mr.. Carpenter attended the an
nual meeting this past week at
Yakima and came back enthused
with the posibilities-even that in
future Kennewick might obtain a
similar institution. The Yakima
college, now fully accredited, has
been in operation four years and
has nearly doubled its registra-
tion. Outlook for future develop
ment is bright and plans are under
way for enlargement.

VALLEY RANCH
MAKE PROFITS
WITH RABBITS
Hanford Family Specializing
in Furs and M e a t Raises
$500 Dummies Each Year;
Market Eager

From small beginning, with
cuiv II rabbits, to one of the larg-
sst and most modern rabbitries in
the state, with over 1900 rabbits,
!. the record of the L. Z. Whitwer
Tur ranch at Hanford, according
70 4 special feature article recent
" printed in the Wenatchee Daily
World.
The Witwer ranch is strictly a
family proposition: L. L. Witwer
i president and manager; Mrs.
Witwer is secretary and vice pres
ident; L. L. jr., II, is superintend-
emit; Clifford, II, ranch foreman,
and Floyd, 9, is shipping clerk.
The ranch started with a dozen
rabbits for which SIS to SIS each
was paid. This was in April, 1928.
The only new stock bought since
that time has been breeding stock
To introduce new blood strains. Of
those on hand over 1000 are New
Zealand Whites, the remainder
are Chinchillas, Angora Woolens
and Silver Martins.
Mr.. Witwer is still line breed
ing to develop a still higher state
Of perfection in his real CONNER
cial rabbits and is highly pleased
with his results.
sThe ever growing meat trade
thruout the country now demands
specializing on an ideal meat pro-
ducing type" Mr.. Witwer states.
"We think the New Zealand type
fits in here to the best advantage
for its quick maturing, big frame,
blocky type. Their white fur can
be used in its natural color or will
fit in when dyed under any of the
81 trade names rabbit fur is sold
under.
"We have a long way to go yet
to get to the point of over produc-
ton. The United States produces
less than three per cent of the 1Ab-
bit furs used in this country an
nually. We annually import over
$25,000,000 worth Of rabbit furs
from Australia, New Zealand,
Belgium and other foreign coun-
tries.
Except for 3 1-2 acres of aspar-
agus and about 400 trees of soft
fruit, the entire 20 acres of the
Witwer ranch is devoted to rab-
bit raising. About $500 rabbits
are raised annually, but it is hop
ed to increase this number to 5000
annually. At the present time the
demand is greater than the sup
ply.
Most of the hutches are two
stories high and face the east,
thereby getting all the morning
sun. Open wire fronts and feed
racks run the entire length of the
building. The wood floors slope to
the back, underlayed with wire
netting.
There are very few industries
today that pay expenses and few
er still that show profit" Mr..
Wltwer states. rabbit raising is
one of those few which is showing
an actual profit"
