Here's a True Fish
Story about a Dog

+ I
Bears that scoop fish from forest
streams have been common know
ledge. But diving, fishing dogs are
a novelty in any mans country.
Jim Grierson, who lives at Rich
land had dog who loves to fish,
And whenever he gets the chance
he gets 'em. His record is II in 10
minutes.
The dog is so crazy about the
sport that he even breaks thru
ice to land fish. Last Saturday he
was taken to a pond where he
broke the ice covering, stood on his
hind legs and plunged headfirst to
the bottom of the pond and then
brought upa carp about IL inches
long which he adoringly laid al
the feet of his master.
The dog is red spaniel and he
seems to take delight in diving
head first into the water and bring
ing up carp for his master.

RECLAMATION
CONSTRUCTION
TO CONTINUE
Government Provides For
Carrying on Irrig at i o n
Work in Yakima Valley:
Hope Local Job Soon

Government expenditures on ir-
rigation projects in the Yakima
and Kittitas valleys in 1880 aggre-
gated $2,535, 200, and funds are
available for the first six months
of 1881, amounting to 1858, 900, ac-
cording. to a story printed this
week in the Yakima Herald. Other
construction jobs awaiting the let
ting of contracts and the clearing
away of legal obstacles will furth-
er argument the funds for 1881.
The sum of $1,500,OOO is avail
able for start on the Gle Elum
reservoir development, and there
is a possibility that this work will
begin before nid-sumer and that
operations may be under way on
large scale before fall.
Congress has made available
s64O,OOO for the rehabilitation of
the Kennewick Highlands, and it
is hoped locally that word may be
received at any time that this fund
may become Immediately available.
Other expenditures are provided
for the Klickitat survey, for the
Wapato project and for the Indian
service irrigation work.

DITCH LEVIES
TO BE SAME
ASLAST YEAR
District Pays $4,000 on Old
Construction; To Go on
Cash Basis; Refinancing
Coming On.

A number of inquiries have been
coming to the office Of Columbia
Irrigation District regarding the
assessments for the coming year.
The Equalization meeting closed
December Is, at which only one
land owner appeared.
The rates levied for next sea-
son are very slightly lower than
for last year. The maintenance rate
will be the same, $3.50 per acre, Of
which one dollar was again levied
to finish the retirement Of the old
warrant account Of the district.
Good progress was made in the
last year in reducing these old
warrants, the December LIST report
showing $21, 900 against $4,000
twelve months ago. This present
levy, with balances due from 9th
er rolls, etc. will be sufficient TO
clean up the remaining warrants
and leave the maintenance fund Of
the district on a cash basis for
the first time since che reconstruc-
tion period in 1921, when it went
some $4,000 in the red.
The toll charge system will be the
same as last year, maintenance be-
ing paid at the district office in
three installments, due on May LIST,
June LIST and August LIST.
In the coming legislature an eff
fort will be made to amend the
laws to permit the entire assess
ment to be. paid in this way, in-
stead Of having to pay the inter
est portion at Prosser as we do
now.
The interest charges in the COM
ing roll will be slightly less than
the last, the average difference be-
ing about three cents per acre.
During the past year, in addition
to the reduction of $4,000 in it's
warrant debt, the district paid off
$3.50 in old county taxes against
land it had sold, and transferred
$4,000 to a construction fund TO
talde care of certain improvements
when they are needed.
On the bond reimbursement pro-
gram the bond-holder'sl committee
have been steadily carrying on
their campaign Of rounding up the
bonds. We are advised that they
now have over 90 percent of the
bonds in hand and are actively aft
er the remainder. 1t would seem
that in a very few weeks the deal
should be in shape to submit TO
the landowners.

IIP-RTVER MEN
ASK HELP FOR
NO.-SO. ROAD
White Bluffs Men Urge Ken
newick to Complete High
way Between Towns; C0un-
ty Aid Needed

The Importance of this district
Of having the remaining link in
the North-South state highway
come thru here was impressed up
on the local Commercial club at
its mid-holiday meeting at Plow-
mans Monday, by Fred English
and Fred Gilhuly, representing the
White Bluffs Commercial club.
A map showing The proposed
route Of the state highway was
displayed by Mr.. Gilhuly. On this
map was drawn the main highway
from the Canadian border on an
almost straight line south thru the
central portion of the state to
Kennewick, where it branches to
the various points. On the map was
shown the East-West cutoff be-
tween Lind and Yakima, which,
too. would cross the Columbia most
conveniently at White Bluffs.
The North-South highway is
now in existence in an unimproved
form, tho from Vantage north it
is good oiled permanent road. The
only missing link is from Vantage
to Plymouth. The local club is en-
deavoring to have the section from
Kennewick to the ferry taken over,
and will aid the upriver folks in
securing help for the section be-
tween here and White Bluffs.
County Commissioner H. S.
! Hughes suggested that the commits
sioners of the two road districts
get together and get the road in
shape for further work by the
state at such time as it can be
taken over. The ultimate compile
ton of this highway would in
clude bridge across the Columbia
at White Bluffs, not particularly
expensive proposition on account
Of the island in the middle of the
river at that point.
The Kennewick club promises
every cooperation possible to the
men from up-river and the road
committee of the club was instruct
ed to get prompt action on the
york.

The papers are full of hard times
stories. From the wheat districts
and the lumber regions come the
most awful tales of depression.
Around Kennewick, however, there
seems to be but little difference
between this years activity and
those of any other normal year. In
fact, the difference, from most re-
ports is on the favorable side.
And it's true. In this region
crops have on the whole been good,
and prices received have achieved
normally at least. Our diversified
tion has provided the district with
an income thruout the year.
AS evidence of the community's
normally, cite the local mill. Since
the annual clese-down for over
hauling in the summer, the mill
has operated continuously on "a
hour shift. In fact, for the past
two months there have been seven
day weeks. ]. B. Conroy, one of
the proprietors states that pros
poets are bright in his line for
continuous operation for the next
few months.
He says that his company now
has distribution from the Cana

being received favorably where

Mr.. Conroy says that the mill
