Business Takes a Slump
Since Jan. L; Only One
Marriage License

Nearly $500 cars have bought
new licenses in Benton county and
now privileged to use the state
highways. However, business in
the license department Of the
county auditors office has taken
a decided slump since the first
of the year. Apparently everyone
who planned to run his car this
winter bought his license at the
new reduced rates before the first
of the year. Only one marriage IL
cense has been issued in January,
according to a report made pub
lie this week.
Announcement is expected soon
from the highway department
that unless cars are decorated
with the new plates that arrests
viii be in order. If you have the
new plates, better be getting them

RELIEF COMMITTEE

The above appeal is being sent
out by the local relief committee
and is self-explanatory. Dire need
now exists and money must be
raised at once in order to keep
the gaunt wolf Want away from
several local families.
At special meeting tonight,
the relief committee and group
of prominent men and women de-
cided to ask every regularly en-
played person in the community
to give at least one days wages
to the relief fund. Half of this
amount to be paid in January and
the other half next month. Per-
sonal letters will be sent asking
immediate action from those who
are drawing wages from the COM
munity.
In addition to the thirty or more
families in this district being
helped by the county, thirty more
families, numbering 90 children,
must be taken care Of to great
er or less degree by local charity.
The funds raised for the commun-
1 ty chest are about exhausted, the
various relief funds raised by 9TH
er organizations are also about
gone.
The only source of income left
is the emergency road work which
the state is doingl This will give
a weeks employment to ten men
from this district. The work will

WORK ON DAM
AT PROSSER is
UNDER WAY
Canal and Power House Con-
struction Started on High
lands Project; Ready Early
in Spring

Dynamite blasts shook windows
in Prosser Monday of this week
as work was started on the Pros
ser dam and power canal for. the
Kennewick Highlands. Thirty men,
part of them working for the re
clamation service and part for the
General Construction Co., of Sc
attic, started work on the project,
according to a story published in
the Yakima Republic.
Clearing away of the log jam
near the present dam and cleaning
of the right of way for the canal
are under way. A steam shovel has
been moved to the site and the
construction company is making
arrangements to establish camp.
A heavy log jam has been formed
at one end of the dam and work
men are attempting to clear it in
order to make way for the water
when cofferdam is built at the
canal end of the dam. The Golfer
dam will force the water to run
over the opposite end of the Pros
ser dam while construction work
is going at the canal side.
Only by blasting have workmen
been able to break the log jam.
Large crowds of Prosser residents
gathered on the banks Of the riv-
er to watch the operations.
The Seattle firm was awarded
the contract to build the dam and
power canal earlier in the week
when the Washington, DC, office
of the reclamation bureau gave
special permission to the Denver
office to award the contract and
speed work in order that Kenne-
wick farmers may get irrigation
water at an early date. The Seat
tie firm, which entered q bid OF
S131, 386.50, was the lowest of II
bidders. Dan Teeters will be SUI
perintendent of the company.

COUNTY GETS
$4,000 TAX
MONEY PAID
Rush to Save Property Brings
Out Scores of Socks; Have
Year to Redeem Delinquent
Property

Twenty thousand dollars was
paid into the county treasurer this
week by Benton county property
owners who were fearful lest their
lands be sold for delinquent taxes,
according to Louis p. Kelly, depu-
ty treasurer.
Sale of lands in the various ir-
rigation districts of the county
was held at auction Tuesday for
delinquent irrigation taxes. Some
1000 tracts were delinquent and
were offered for sale. Only twelve
sales were made, Mr.. Kelly said.
Certificates for land that is not
sold will be given to the districts
and the assessments will be lev
led Owners of the land have one
year in which to redeem their
land.
Thru lack of sufficient informa-
ton regarding the delinquencies
many local property owners were
surprised to find that their prop
erty had been listed on the sale
sheets. In most cases redemption
on this class of property has been
made. Some real bargains in real
estate were on the block, how
ever. For instance, C. C. Williams
fine new home in the Garden
Tracts was for sale for under SO.
He managed to buy it himself,
however.

PEOPLE ASK
NEW LAWS OF
LEGISLATURE
Seven Initiatives Already Fill
ed to be Voted on by Citi-
zens; Expect at Least That
Many More

! The people are destined to make
known their wants this year in
greater proportions than ever be-
fore.
Although six months are allowed
for filing Of initiatives, seven were
presented at the secretary Of
states on the opening day Of fill
ing-January 8.
They represented everything
from repeal of bone dry laws to
tax emptions for ali homes. It was
prophesied that 1892 would be the
greatest initiative year in the his
tory of the state.
In order of their filing, the fol-
lowing measures were presented
for ballot titles:
So. Permanent registration,
which as a legislative act was
three times vetoed by Governor
Hartley.
SO. Exemption Of homes from
taxes. The proposal included five
acre city lots, 160-acre non-irrigat-
ed and 40-acre irrigated tracts.
60. A scale tax on chain stores,
providing as high q license as 500
yearly per store when more than
20 are included in the chain.
81. Repeal Of the states bone
| dry laws.
81. State game control, reliev-
ing counties Of respective juris-
diction.
60. Exemption of $4,000 homes
from taxation.
81. A 40-mill tax limit on ag-
gregates of all states, county, city,
towns, and school district levies,
permitting revisions by a s-5ths
majority vote.
This list was only half the num-
Der Of measures believed ready for
presentation. Others expected In
clude the highway commission pro-
Iposal; state budget commission;
general sales tax, two bills pro-
posing reapportionment Of gaso-
line taxes to include schools and
counties; a gin METERS measure TO
stop commercial trapping, and an
old age pension.
Voters will be asked to approve
eight constitutional amendments
submitted by the last legislature.
These asked: increases Of from So
a day to $500 a year in legislators
pay; reapportionment Of state
representation; harbor commits
sion; increased valuations Of suits
to prevent minor actions reaching
to state supreme court.
Because of the flood Of meas
ures which was sure to pass the
peak established in 1914, the sec
Rotary Of state will be forced TO
draw on Governor Hartley's defic-
iency appropriation Of $25O,O0O.

FINE PROGRAM
FEATURED AT
INSTALLATION
Pomona Officers Installed at
Vale; M0ult0n Delivers Adj
dress; Subordinates Make
satisfactory Reports
By E. C. Durdle


Benton county Pomona Grange
net at the Vale Grange hall, Rich
Ind, Saturday, January 8, for the
annual meeting and installation of
N Grange officials for Pomona
and subordinates of the county.
This was one of the best meetings
ever held, with large attendance
and 1 good program. Considerable
interest was shown thruout the
meeting. Brother u. S. Case was
the installing officer and the en-
tire ceremony of installation was
credit to both he and the Grange.
Mrs. Ruth Simmelink had charge
Of the tableaus and they certainly
we're worked up to high state of
reflection and were responsible
for a deeper appreciation of the
Grange and its teachings.
The program was in charge of
Mrs. j. C. Swayze and was both
Varied and interesting. The princi-
pie speaker for the evening was M.
n. Moulton of Kennewick. Mr..
Moulton chose as his topic LEAD
ership", stressing the necessity of
leadership and independent thot
On the part of every individual. He
stressed the fact that we always
have had leadership and always
will and that if we are not salts
fed with the leadership which we
have that then is our right and
privilege and duty through indie
pendent thinking and action to Sc
.Iect the type of leader which we
want. This holds true for the in
vidual, the small group and the
rye organlZaCl0n.
Mr.. Mouiton stressed the fact
that we, in the development of po-
itical leadership have three gem
eal types, the politician who is
seH-seeking, the one who believes
b seeing the government in bus
mess and the leader who like
Washington, jefferson, and Alex
ander Hamilton in the early days
d this country were leaders of
that fine high type who had moth
ing Of the sef-seeking interests at
heart in the development and lay
ng down of fundamentals in the
establishment Of a government for
themselves. Unquestionably there
: group in our leadership in our
country today which includes bus
mess groups Of one short and an
other as well as kind but empha-
nzed the fact here again that the
leadership of the group along
night lines were essential to the
mthering of program which will
