SEVEN MOREIN
QUEEN CONTEST
Four Named from Rich.
land; Votes Begin to
Come In

Seven new nominations have
been made for queen candidates
this week-and now official lists
are closed. Four or five of these
who were nominated before have
dropped out Of the running, but
there are still candidates from
every section, except one district
in Pasco.
Most of the candidates have al
ready been given their supplies
and have had the rules of the con-
test explained and quite a few
votes have already been deposit
ed in the ballot box in The Courier
Reporter window. By Saturday
night of this week thousands more
should pile up there and soon
thereafter the first official count
will be made.
Candidates still have plenty of
time to secure their votes and all
should begin this week in earnest
to round up their prospects. The
friends of the young ladies should
lend encouragement and where
possible show their appreciation
by voluntarily buying the tickets
which contain the votes attached.
The Business Girls, who have
charge of the coronation ceremon-
les, are laying plans this year for
a much more elaborate corona
ton and several new features
which have not been seen before.
The young lady who secures the
honor of reigning as queen this
year will be rewarded as never
before, both financially and by
way of evtra honors heaped upon
her.
The seven new candidates who
have been nominated since last
week are:
Ethelyn Kilt, Valley
Louise Schaffner, Valley
Francile Fletcher, Richland
Hazel Nelson, Richland
Marvina Skeen, Richland
Estella Murray, Richland
Elna Beste, City

HIGHLANDERS
CELEBRATION
rs POSTPONED
Opening Date Moved; Pear
Crop and Conflict in Dates
Causes Big Party to be Put
Off Until Sept. 3

The $64O,OO0 Picnic has agar
been postponed.
Dated originally for next Tues
day, August %, the date was tent
atively changed this past week to
Saturday, the 9th. Word receiv-
ed today from the engineers in
charge of the plant at Prosser
stated that the plant would not be
completed until about the first Of
September. Also, due to the fact
hat pear harvest would be on in
full force on the Highlands, and
further that the date would con-
flict with the Pasco merchants
sale date it was suggested that the
date for the big party be put for
September 8.
The committee from the High
lands which has the arrangements
in charge, has been working this
week and all details except the ac-
ceptance of the principal speakers
has been completed. A fine pro-
gram has been prepared and it in
dicates that q full day will be en-
joyed.
The committee from the Cham
Der of Commerce, which was app
pointed to work with the Highlands
committee, reported this noon that
merchants along the street had
agreed to close their places of
business during the hours from 2
to $50, that everyone could enjoy
the program at the park. The date
was set for Saturday on account
of the fact that school will be in
session that week and the kids are
expected to participate in the
program.
The picnic is public celebration
of the completion of the Highlands
rehabilitation project in which
$640,000 was spent, including a
power plant on the Yakima river
at Prosser to generate the juice
with which to operate the pumps
which lift the water for the irri-
cation of the Highlands. The work
also included the replacement Of
the big stave pipes and the en-
largement of the distribution sys-
tenn.

Voicing his belief that depres-
sion will end quicker under Re-
publican administration, Senator
Wesley o.. Jones told newspaper
men here Wednesday that lower
ing the tariff walls would hinder
business recovery and would throw
open American markets to foreign
goods.
The Democratic platform offers
no concrete plan for business re-
lief, the senator said. Jones said
he was in Kennewick to study the
needs of the district and to view
the Highlands project rather than
on a political mission. He was ac-
companied by his grandson, Bruce
Jones.
