BALL TEAM is
GOING GOOD
Pasco Loser in Sundays Pre-
Season Tilt; Series Starts
April 18th

On a cool and windy Sunday, a
good sized crowd saw Kennewick
take Pasco in the second practice
game by a score of AZ. AS the
weather, SO the game. However,
the box score shows that Kenne-
wick was entitled to win the game,
their fielding and hitting was SUI
perior to the Pasco players and
fielding was the deciding factor.
High lights of the game were
few; the best play of the day be-
ing a one handed catch Of line
drive in the ninth by Evett. The
other high light was 26 strikeouts
by three pitchers. This light can
be taken with joy or grain of
salt.
When we look back at the wealth
er the past week, which made it
impossible for the two teams to
practice, we could not expect mid
season ball.
Following is the box score:

Kiwanis to Give Cup
to Best All Club

Beginning with 1881 the Kenne-
wick Kiwanis Club has very gen.
erously offered to give cup to
the 4-H club which does the best
piece of work in the county. Each
year this cup will be awarded to
the leader of the club which piles
up the most points per member.
The individual members attendance
at club meetings, completion Of
project, participation in All or
community programs, in health
work and in county contests such
as health, style show, bread MAX
ing, judging and demonstrations,
viii all be taken into considera-
ton in determining the winning
club.
Although cups and other prizes
are offered in other counties of
the state to clubs doing outstand-
ing work, this is the first time that
anything of the sort has been done
in Benton county.
The desire to win this cup has
already stimulated interest in the
various phases of club work and
local leaders and Mrs. Davis, coun-
ty leader, feel very grateful to the
Kiwanians for their generous CO.
operation.
1t was enormously reported last
week that this cup was to be offer
ed for participation in health work.

STATES OFFER
NOT ENOUGH
FOR BRIDGE
Owners Plan to Take Deal
Into Courts; Scott at Build
ing New Bridge Near the
Present Structure

Activity portending keen bat
tie has developed in Walla Walla
over approval by the legislature of
appropriations totaling 100000
for the purchase of the Pasco-
Kennewick bridge. While nine
years ago, when the structure was
built, stock was sold in most Of
the cities of the Northwest, most
of the 100000 issued is located in
Walla Walla and control of the
structure has remained here, says
an Associated Press dispatch from
Walla Walla the first of the week.
Pasco and Kennewick citizens,
supported by a large number Of
non-stockholding Walla Walla peo-
pie, have been anxious to purchase
the bridge and supported efforts
to raise the available funds from
$400, 900 voted two years ago to
100000 offered this year. But
the controlling interests in the
bridge, headed by Frank Grove,
are unalterably opposed to selling
the structure for less than $780,
600, claiming that this figure is
necessary to pay out to the stock
holders.
Grove and his supporters scott
at the section Of the law providing
for the purchase of the bridge
which calls for building Of anoth-
er bridge if the present one can
not be purchased at the price Of
fered by the state. Grove asserts
that the federal permit necessary
to provide for such a bridge would
require the structure to be built
miles away from the present
bridge if usual procedure followed
and that any change in this federal
policy would result in court ac-
ton which would hold the issue in
court for several years.
Grove and the majority stock
holders are willing to sell but will
insist on their terms. They aver
no that they will welcome condem-
alton proceedings and believe they
can get near their price if the is
sue is carried into court under
such procedure.

During the lecture hour Bro.
Knute Hill of Whitstran Grange
gave a splendid talk on the work
accomplished by the Grange which
was especially fitting as it inn
|pressed our new members with the
importance of our great order.
He spoke of how the Grange had
secured for US farm to market
roads, rural free delivery Of mail,
parcel post, had been active in
helping abolish the license saloon
and in securing Woman's Suffrage.
He stressed the fact that the
Grange is the only fraternal order
that places woman on an equality
or more than an equality-it hav-
I ing four offices that can be held
by women only.
He emphatically stated that the
only way to secure tax relief is to
place it with a Tax Commission
elected by the people. He urged the
members to be at the polls on
election day and there secure the
measures needed.
After the close of the meeting
the refreshment committee served
sandwiches, cake and coffee.
At our next regular meeting,
April 10th, we will dedicate the
hall and expect to have with US our
State Master A. S. Goss, and his
good wife.
The Valley degree team will be
present to confer the third and
fourth degrees on the same twen-
ty-two candidates.
The Grange as well as the en-
tire community was saddened by
the severe auto accident which oc-
Cured March 18th, when two of
our splendid and faithful members,
Mr.. and Mrs. William Tewalt, were
badly hurt. In returning home at
might their car ran into a moving
freight train. Mrs. Tewalt was
most seriously injured and for days
her life was in the balance. We are
glad to report that she is able to
be at home and both are on the
road to recovery.

!: Cleanup Time

I would like the Cooperation of the people
of Kennewick in cleaning up our city. Get your
trash piles removed from the alleys Help to keep
old wrecked cars from being scattered over va
cant lots. And-if the people in the Garden Tracts
who take rocks off their places would haul them
away instead of dumping them in the road and
leaving them for years, it would help the looks
of the streets and also give the road men chance
to work the roads. -.
Hoping for the cooperation of everyone for
a better and cleaner Kennewick.

ONE CHANGE IN INSURANCE ACT
 MADE YEST'D'Y
Nerland- Johnston Measure Amended by Increasing
 Foreign Awards

Proponents of change in the Workmen's Compensation Act to wipe out the difference between compensation paid resident and foreign beneficiaries won par tial victory yesterday when they succeeded in amending the Ner- land-Johnston measure relating to that statute.
 The amendment adopted raised to 70 percent of the full sums the amount paid to non-citizen, foreign dependents other than mi nor children or spouses, and to the latter classes 85 per cent. The present rates are 50 and 60 per cent respectively.
 However, the victory may be only temporary. The vote by which the amendment was adopt ed was to T. It followed an effort to wipe out the section en- tirely. MT. Johnston, Fairbanks, made both motions.
 If the same situation prevails Friday when the measure prob ably will come up for final dis position, the bill will fail of pass age by one vote, since nine votes are required for enactment.
