over $500 loses in an eighteen
weeks period greeted committee

Easter time. In the meantime, he
said that alterations would be
made in the theatre to improve
sound reception.

Hoopsters To Take On
Walla WaHa Oilers

The Standard Oilers of Walla
Walla, one of the most sensation
al Independent basketball teams OF
eastern Washington will make its
appearance on the local high school
floor next Saturday at 8 o'clock.
Fans will see what college ball
looks like when the Oilers get in
to action. This team has stirred
up much comment not only in the
local communities, but throughout
the Northwest.
Our local boys have played a
game at Walla Walla with this ex-
ceptional basketball machine. Tho
Kennewick lost by good margin,
the game was plenty exciting, es-
uecially the last half.
There will probably be one more
game after this one, with the Pas
co squad. A more definite state
ment will be made in next weeks

WALLA WALLA
ASKS BACKING
FOR CANNERY
Tell Chamber of Advantages
to Whole Region in Reach
of Growers; Chamber Adds
Eight Members

Five members of the Walla Wal
la Chamber of Commerce were
present at today's Chamber OF
Commerce luncheon to sell h G
community on that community's plan
for the establishment Of a large
up-to-date cannery.
The Walla Walla boosters feel
that they have an unusual oppor-
tunity for making a cannery q
profitable venture in that, from
this early section products may be
obtained by which operations may
be continued for eight months of
the year, instead of the usual four.
They claim the advantages of
the establishment Of a big cannery
there are three-fold: it will pro-
vide market for the crops and
increase the profit from the small
farms, will provide employment
for large numbers of residents who
will become additional consumers
and will, in addition, pay rea-
sonable return to investors.
Another angle the visitors
stressed was the fact that the es-
Establishment Of q successful can
merry was almost invariably fol-
lowed by others. The committee
asked that local businessmen and
fruit growers get behind the prop
osition to boost it to a successful
conclusion as well as subscribe for
stock in the concern.
The committee was composed of
]. G. Kelly, who was the principal
speaker, Col. Weyrauch, Mr.. Hunt
ington, Mr.. Crawford and Mr.. Mil
Ter.
The matter of soliciting backing
was left to the industrial COM
mittee.
The chamber appointed COM
mittee to draft resolutions of con-
dolence to the bereaved families
in the recent accident.
Eight new names were added to
the Chambers membership rost-
er this week thru the activities Of
the new secretary, George D.
Peters, E. H. Behrman, C. L. Hol-
comb, L. E. Johnson, E. j. Brand,
R. w. Anderson, Caroline Kitten,
I. S. Gleason and H. II. DeHaven
were the new members, the first
five above named being present.

MISTAKEN IDENTITY
CAUSES EMBARRASSMENT

In the first reports of the acct
dent in Pasco Friday evening the
name of Carol Pratt, service sta
ton operator of Kennewick, was
Given out as one of the occupants
of the car. This was mistake,
but Mr.. Pratt has received some
undesirable publicity because 1t
was unfounded. Corrections have
been sent out and published In most
of the papers where the erroneous
report appeared. The Courler-he-
porter takes pleasure in assuring
tbe nublic of Kennewick that Mr..
Pratt was in no way connected
with the incident and regrets ex-
ceedingly that such mistake was
made. The wrong report received
no circulation locally, as the error
was discovered almost Immediately
and corrected.

FANS PREPARE
FOR WORK OF
BALL SEASON
Four Men Selected to Handle
Affairs on Local Diamond;
Trimble is Returned as
Managing Head

The spring-like weather (dare
we mention it?) has caused the
baseball fever to mount in t h e
veins of the fans like sap in a ma
pie tree. The urge broke Tuesday
night when a meeting was held in
the Chamber of Commerce rooms,
at which time q committee wa S
named to handle the baseball work
for the season. About a score were
present and much enthusiasm was
shown.
The fans endorsed a new plan
for the seasons activities. Four
managers were selected to handle
the work, the details Of which are
to be apportioned among them.
These four men will act as board
of directors with the fifth man the
captain Of the team, who will be
selected by the players.
F. L. Trimble, who took upon
himself last year the unbelievable
amount of work necessary to pilot
winning ball team, was elected
team manager. His work this
year will consist of selecting the
team, getting jobs for the players
and assuming the actual direction
Of the team.
A grounds manager, to take
charge Of the repairs, policing and
admission to the grounds was Sc
lected in the person of DON Thomp-
son. Transportation for the team
to out-of-town games will be in
the hands of /. N. Mueller, while
H. C. Schmidt was elected club
representative to the league. He
will assist in arranging the sea-
sons schedule. These four men
will make up the board of direct
ors.

BIG PROBLEMS
OF DISTRICT
NOW SOLVED
Community on Better Basis
for Development Than Ever
Before, Businessmen Are
Informed

That Kennewick's two major
problems had been satisfactorily
solved and that the community
was on a much more substantial
basis was the keynote of the boost
er meeting held Friday night at the
Chamber of Commerce roms. A
representative attendance of local
businessmen were present and the
meeting resolved itself into a good
old-fashioned testimony or revival
meeting.
Mr.. Moulton, in the opening talk
explained that the big problem in
the Columbia district, that of re-
firing the bonded indebtedness of
the district had been met and solv-
ed by the refinancing plan in which
the interest rates were reduced, the
term of repayments extended and
the baleful influence of the "blan-
ket" mortgage was removed.
The most serious problem con-
fronting settlers on the Highlands
was the matter of obtaining a suf-
ficient water supply. This h d
been accomplished thru the gov
ernmental appropriation of $780,
600 for the rehabilitation of the
system, which would include the
watering of some 1900 additional
acres Of fertile SOIL
Following Mr.. Moulton's talk
other citizens extolled the virtues
and possibilities of the section. The
talks revived the enthusiasm which
brought them to the community
as settlers in the first place and
as the meeting went on the
"power" seemed to intensity.
II. w. Desgranges told of the
slogan the club had adopted of
10000 acres of asparagus in ten
years" He explained the advant-
ages of this section in asparagus
raising, stating that nowhere in
the country could the same high
quality green asparagus be pro-
duced as in this immediate local
ity. He said that in the past few
years the local canned product was
rapidly taking the place of the
white varieties as grown in Cali
fornia. So great was the demand
for the local product, he said that
there could be no possibility of an
overproduction.
Another of the advantages of our
immediate locality was pointed out
by Mr.. Tilbury of the Church
Grape Juice company. He said
that the high quality of gr p e
juice used in the manufacture of
the local product could not be OBJ
tanned except in an area of about
30 miles hereabouts. He also
stated that while our average pro-
duction was in the neighborhood
of z LIZ tons per acre, the aver
age the country over was about
two and a half tons per acre.
Advantages in altitude, climatic
conditions and transportation were
stressed by other speakers, among
whom was j. III. Mclean, who told
of his success with an orchard on
the Highlands.
The Chamber is advertising in
newspapers and over the radio In
an attempt to secure settlers for
the project and this meeting was
held for the purpose Of renewing
the faith of the citizens in their
own community. 1t is planned TO
hold other meetings OF similar
nature in the near future.

RADIO PLANS LAID
FOR C0NVENT|ONS.
Political Leaders in Congress
and Broadcast Officials
Have Hands Full.
BY MARTIN CODEL.
.ONGRESS and its members par-
ticularly the political leaders

NONHtEOo ana ltS members Dar-
tlcularly the political leaders,
focused sharp attention on ra-
~ olo last week. Not only were
matters of legislation up for
consideration, but the party leaders
were joining with radio officials in Law
ing the groundwork for elaborate nlans
to place political issues before the Amer
lean public from now until the national
elections next November. These plans
Included the comprehensive broadcast
ing of the Republican and Democratic
conventions in Chicago next Summer
AS matter of fact, political CAM
palgnlng via the radio is already under
way. Several so-called sustaining or
non-commercial periods in network ra-
dlo. notably The Washington Evening
stars Radio Forum on N. B. c. and
the PUBLIC Affairs Institute on C. B. s..
are regularly carrying talks. debates and
interviews featuring political leaders
One OF the larger network sponsors in
PRODUCED the innovation several weeks
ago of presenting speeches by party
leaders twice a week, interspersed be-
tween dance music light gossip and
announcements.
Fess First Speaker.
Ironically enough, the first speaker
in the series was Senator Simeon D.
FesS Of Ohio, chairman of the Rep1lb-
lican National Committee, who is au-
thor bill to turn over IS per cent of
the wave lengths to public educational
institutions. on the plea largely that
commerc1al1Sm is running rampant on
the air The Republican Spokesman ap-
pear on Tuesday nights and the Demo-
Gratis take their turn on Thursday
nights coast-to-coast hook-ups.
This new device-the broadcasting of
political talks during popular sponsored
or commercial periods-may be used
quite extensively this year. First of all.
1t insures the speaker large audience;
secondly, the war chests of the political
parties are not too well supplied in this
third year of the depression. They will
welcome an opportunity to procure
free time" from those who buy it from
the networks and stations. 1t is not
likely that either the Democrats or Re-
publicans will have the 100000 to
spend on radio this year that each
spent in the 1928 campaign.
nevertheless, both big parties are
making elaborate radio plans and both
will soon have radio divisions estab-
llshed in their publicity headquarters
The plans embrace welcoming an
nouncers and political commentators to
the national conventions which will be
fully reported on the air and perhaps
televiSed; acquiring as many free hours
from the broadcasters and sponsors as
they can get; buying time from net
works and stations for their speakers.

LOWEST FREQUENCIES
FIND GROWING FAVOR
Radio Amateurs in 170-Meter Band
Have Doubled, Survey
Shows.

Radio amateurs, having explored the
radio spectrum from end to end, are
now once more turning their attention
to their lowest frequency band.
One year ago a Nationwide survey,
made by the American Radio Relay
League. national amateur organization,
showed that only approximately IL per
cent OF all amateur operation took place
on the LIS to 1000 kilocycle CTS TO
100 meter band. At the present time,
according to F. Z. Handy. communica-
lions manager of the league, indications
are that this percentage has more than
doubled.
This means that the 1,75O kilocycle
reg1on-near the spot where radio anna
teurs pioneered for 20 years and from
which they started their downward de-
scent leading to the discovery of the
short waves-has again taken its place
as an equal among the four principal
amateur bands. One year ago 70 per
cent OF the operation in this territory
was radio-telephone. the balance being
code, but 1t is now believed that the
tendency is toward increased code oper-
alton.
The 1,750 kilocycle trend is largely
a result of the solar cycle affecting
radio. which has proved so troublesome
to broadcasting and other branches of
radio during the past season. Amateurs
have turned this marked change to
their advantage as a result of the A. r.
F.. L. campaign to shift activities gen.
orally to lower frequency bands in order
to absorb the cyclic variations elasti-
cally.
An additional outgrowth of this
policy has been the encouragement of
beginners operation in this band. The
training ground for Americas future
amateurs, who are increasing In num-
bers by many thousands year, is thus
to be located at the spot where ANA
teur radio sprung to life and was nur.
tured to become the largest existing
radio service.
