HOPE SOON TO
START WORK
ON HIGHLANDS
Final Deed Signed This Week
for Property at Dam; Pro-
ject Has Preference Over
Others, Says Mead

Word from Congressman Sum-
mers this week was to the effect
that construction of the pipe line.
at least, on the Highlands, would
start in the very near future.
The last objection raised by the
government, relative to the title
to the dam property at Prosser,
has been removed. The department
had forwarded a deed which was
presented to Kemp and Taylor, Of
Prosser on Tuesday Of this week.
The deed was promptly signed and
a certified copy has been sent the
legal department at Portland,
while the original has been for
warded to Washington.
Mr.. Summers, in his letter states
that in an interview with DR.. Mead.
head of the reclamation depart
ment, DR.. Mead stated that the
kennewick project would be grant
ed preferential right, at least TO
the extent of the pipe lines and
pumping plant, in spite of the
shortage of funds in the recla-
nation department.
j. Porter Preston, superinten-
dent of the Yakima project, is au-
thority for the statement that, ow-
ing to the lateness of the season,
it will be impossible to haye the
pumps constructed and delivered
in time to be able to use them this
season, but that the other work
would be rushed as soon as the
president had signed the final pa
pers. Local men are daily expect
ing word that the rebuilding Of the
pipe lines can proceed at once.
Directors of the district are call
ing attention to the splendid spirit
of cooperation and friendliness ex-
pressed in the attitude of the Pros
ser men in aiding TO clear up the
titles to which the government had
made objections.

BILL TAXES
SUBSTITUTES
New Law Will Mean Add
ed Prosperity to Dairy
Industry

One of the most important eco
nomic measures to be passed by
the Washington State Senate in
recent years, is the Importance at
tached to the taxation bill of Is
cents pound on butter substi-
tutes, by Dr. Robert Prior, presi-
dent of the Washington Dairy
Bureau.
The bill was passed by the State
Senate Monday by vote of "a to
z, and a clause which will make it
effective Immediately after pas
sage was adopted by a vote of 25
to 13.
In answer to opponents of the
bill, who have declared that it will
increase the price of butter, DR..
Prior points out that the rise and
decline of butter prices are not
governed by any such legislation,
but by supply and demand alone.
Rather than increase the retail
price of butter, this bill contributes
tremendously to the development
of the logged-off lands of the
state. There will Immediately be
demand for more dairy herds and
more land for grazing. Prosperity
is bound to result for residents of
all parts of the state.'
1t is estimated by persons we'll
informed on present conditions
that at least $4,000 dairy cows will
be added to Washington herds in
the near future as the result of
passage of the bill This will
bring the Washington dairy bust
ness to the greatest of any state
in the union.
Thirty five thousand more
dairy cows mean approximately
$500 more dairy farms, $500 more
persons to be furnished employ
ment and livelihood, and in addi-
ton of s2O,Oo0,OOO to the tax rolls
of Washington" said DR.. Prior.
Butter prices are not controlled
within any one state" the doctor
added, washington butter will re-
main the finest of any produced in
America and will remain at the
prices quoted in Eastern markets
where demand creates price,

CELEBR ATE
Golden Jubilee Tuesday of
This Week: Elect Mrs.

Fifty years ago, in a small town

ming of this. week, the fiftieth an
niversary-the golden jubilee of
the order was celebrated.

NUMBER
OF CUR DOGS
City to Kill En-; Women
Ask Help on Health
Law Enforcement

Five women were present at the
meeting of the city council Tues
day night, an audience never be-
fore seen in the history of Kenne-
wick. Three of them were COM
mittee from the Women's club who
were present to urge the council
to cooperate. in enforcing the city
health officers rulings. The COM
mittee consisted of Mrs. F. F.
Beste, Mrs. Warren c. Hodge and
Mrs. A. F. Brown.
Shortly after their arrival the
s1uncil took up the matter of laws
relating to the enforcement Of the
health laws. City Attorney Hol-
comb stated that there were laws
enough already on the statute
books of city, county and state so
that nearly anything the officers
could do could be rigidly enforced.
DR.. Spaulding was reappointed
health officer and the appointment
was unanimously confirmed.
There will be fewer dogs run
ming at large in the near future.
The council will enforce the Ii
cense law shortly and after due
notice all dogs without tag will
be done away with. 1t was agreed
that, while there are quite large
number of good dogs in the COM
there are also far too many
homeless ours, and their numbers
will be greatly curtailed. (Pun).
Louis Eichner was given a per-
NIT to erect a tin and plumbing
shop on the property on the cor
ner of Aubern and First Avenue.
1t will be semi-fireproof con-
struction, 24x60 feet, stucco out
side and in. The permit was grant
ed on the understanding that the
was not to be used as an
auto. wrecking yard.
Now that the proper signals
have been installed, the council is
the railroads to run their
trains tru town at 80 miles per
hour. An ordinance was introduc-
ed to this effect.

er one cannot help but feel that
the bridge owners, leastwise as
far as this particular bridge is
concerned, are being made whole
on their original investment and
allowed a reasonable return On
their investment during the per-
iod they have operated it.
It will be seen from Mr.. Humes'
report that the, president Of the
bridge company was trying to re-
coup losses sustained by his firm
in another venture from the state
thru the price put upon this
bridge. I do not believe such ac-
ton should be or will becounten-
anced by either legislative or ex-
ecutive departments of the state.

BOND DEAL IS
COMING ALONG
IN FINE SHAPE
Agreement Nearly Ready to
Be Signed by Land Owners;
Spreads Payments Over 30
Year Period

Negotiations have been under
way for the past two years look
ing to readjustment of the bond
ed debt of Columbia Irrigation dis
trict. This settlement has reached
"a point where the exact form OF
the new set-up has been determin-
ed and the necessary contracts
have been drawn to the satisfac-
ton of the bond-holders' commit,
tee and attorneys.
The principal cause for the APP
parently slow progress in this
matter has been the long time re-
quired by the bond-holders' COM
mittee to reach some $50 scatter
ed holders of these bonds and in
duce them to deposit his bonds
with the committee under full
power to act for him. 1t is un-
derstood that this committee now
has secured over 80 per cent Of
these bonds and believes that it
will get practically all the rest by
the time that the landowners
contracts can be signed up.
Time and space do not permit
a complete discussion of the pro-
posed plan in this article. 1t is q
complicated and difficult situation
and has required a lot of hard
work to produce a plan that seems
fair and workable to all parties.
1t is very plain that no plan can
be made to work except by prac-
tically unanimous consent of both
Landowners and landowners.
The consent of all bond owners
is in a fair way to be obtained,
and it is now in order to present
the plans to the landowners. 1t is
expected that complete and de-
tailed outline of this plan can be
prepared for publication in the next
issue of this paper.
Sample copies of the proposed
landowners contract will be print
ed for distribution very soon. It is
probable that a series of open
meetings will be held, at which
the officers of the district will be
present to explain and discuss the
whole matter and every land own
er will have a full opportunity to
be heard and to gain a clear idea
of all the details.
