At any rate, so long as we have this
rich potential market at home, we
will not have to worry so much about
possible trade arrangements against
US. They will fall of their own weight,
or break under the strain of rivalry
among the participants.

ONLY A THIRD
OF CHEST FUND
rs COLLECTED
Drive Nets Less Than Antic-
ipated Although Several
Have Not Yet Reported;
Red Cross is Included

With a goal Of $500 only one
third attained, the local commun-
ity chest committee is still pursu-
ing contributions. Planned to mop
up the district in one days intens-
i've work, the soliciting teams re-
port an unusually small response.
However, the contributors who
usually give the largest amounts
have not yet been tabulated and
returns from the business houses
who were to solicit their employees
have not yet been secured in many
instances. Employees We're asked to
give an amount equal to one days
pay to the relief work taken care
of by the chest funds.
Lack of understanding that the
chest was to cover the Red Cross
contribution from the district also
had some effect upon the amount
collected. The Red Cross is in
cluded in the chest budget, along
with six other organizations, altho
a separate contribution may be
made. The only other drive to be
permitted in the community will
be that of the Christmas Seal
Sale, proceeds from which go to
wage the battle against the White
Scourge. This drive will be made
by mail in most districts and will
open shortly after Thanksgiving.

CONCRETE PIPE
ON HIGHLANDS
is MADE HERE
Local Factory Runs Two
Shifts to Complete Tile on
Time; Factory is Interest
ing Plant to Visit

All of the concrete pipe now be-
ing laid on the Highlands project
is being manufactured in Kenne-
wick. The Reese Concrete pipe
factory, where the material is be-
ing secured, is running two shifts
a day to handle the squirt of work.
Some $4,000 feet Of the six to ~
inch pipe is being used, in addition
to the large number of feet of the
wood stave pipe.
The pipe is being used in the
distribution laterals in the extend
ed system now being installed to
take care of all of the four thous-
and acres under the Highlands
plant.
The manufacture of the pipe is
proving interesting to those who
have seen it. The 1000 lineal feet
of pipe turned out each day is mix
ed and tamped by machine into the
molds. As soon as it is sufficient
ly hard to handle it is taken to
one of the three curing rooms
where it is steamed, then piled and
swabbed and steamed again.
Bruno Sporleder, of Yakima, 9
former Kennewick resident, has
the contract for the laying of the
concrete pipe. He hopes to have
the work completed before bad
weather sets in.

Single Business Manage
meut Record in Town;

4 nuarter of century ago, a
roung man stepped off train into
.be dust here to take charge OF the
local harness shop for the Spokane
Merchants Association. Shortly
thereafter he purchased the place
and started business under the
name of the Kennewick Harness
sbop. That institution, with var
ious changes, now has become the
oldest business in town in point of
single continuous ownership. F..
F Beste, now proprietor of The
Beste Hardware Co., was that
Young man. Today he is still
Young and looks forward to anoth-
er quarter of a century of service
to people in the Kennewick dis
trict.
In Is years many changes take
place in any community. Mr.. Beste
has seen and taken part in the
many which have changed and bet
tered the course of the civic life
of this community. -. = ....
When Mr.. Beste came here wood
en- sidewalks, some four feet above
the street and some dropped be-
low, with steps between, were
scattered in spots along what is
now Kennewick Avenue. Dust
shoe deep lay in the ruts between
which the sagebrush attempted to
grow. Many of the towns present
buildings were then but an idea
and the development of the town
and surrounding countryside were
just being started.
Mr.. Beste started in the building
now occupied by the Town Pump.
Five years later he moved to a
building which stood on the site Of
the Texaco service station. Here
he operated tire and vulcaniz-
ing shop until he moved across the
street into the building which he
erected and which he now oc-
cupies.
Mr.. Beste recalls that while in

COUNTY GETS
$50 MEN FOR
FEDERAL JOBS
Kennewick to Supply Third Of
County Allotment: Half to
Work on Horn Road; 30
Hours Work Per Week

Of the $4,000 men which the
federal government is putting to
work in this state, $50 are to come
from Benton county. 0ne-third Of
this number are TO come from
Kennewick, and an equal number
from the Prosser district and the
remainder from other parts Of the
county.
Word was received the last Of
last week regarding the govern
ment's plan for direct relief. The
$50 men are to receive 80 hours
work a week at SOC an hour. "A
maximum Of 20 weeks is allowed
and the rotation system will not
be used. The men who receive the
jobs will stay with them until the
project is completed, it is under
stood. Service men with depend
ents will be given preference it is
stated, in handing out the jobs.
The largest project in the coun-
ty to be undertaken under the civil
work commission will be that Of
the construction of the road from
The Horn to Benton City, a dis
lance of IL miles.
" This job will be done under the
supervision of the county, who will
supply the materials and tools and
will transport the workers TO and
from their jobs. On this work it
is estimated that practically half
the county's quota will be used for
the entire period.
Other projects approved by the
county works committee will also
receive an allotment of labor to be
paid out Of federal funds. The ath-
letic field for both Prosser and
Kennewick have received an allot-
ment of man days and the irriga-
ton districts and municipalities
are also seeking an extension Of
the quota.
It is understood that this extra
work will be in addition to that al
ready being undertaken by the ir-
rigation districts and the city.

CITY WANTS A ~

LIQUOR PROFIT
Council Endorses Plan for
State Control of Retail Lii
quor Stores; Problem to be
Taken Up by State

Among the major problems fac
ing the municipalities of the coun-
try is that of how to handle the
liquor traffic. Three separate or
ganizatidns have been studying
ways anad means Of controlling it
and three quite similar plans have
been prepared.
At the repeal convention held in
October committee was named to
study the situation. They have pre-
pared a combination Of the Que
becc and other Canadian plans and
have adopted a compromise sug-
gestion. Recently the governor APP
pointed commission to study out
a plan which might be acceptable.
This plan also has many points of
similarity. However, each of the
two above committees has assum-
ed that the state would handle the
situation and then entire net pro-
fiIs would accrue to various state
departments.
Inasmuch as the municipalities
would be compelled to assume the
greater part of the policing costs
under either plan, an association
of representatives from the var
ious cities of the safe is determ-

RETAIL CODE
NOT IN EFFECT
IN KENNEWICK
Size of Town and Number of
Employees Eliminate A IL
But Chain Stores from the
NRA Agreement

All retail food merchants of
Kennewick and Pasco were pres
ent Tuesday evening at a meeting
in the local chamber of commerce
rooms. The object Of the meet
ing was to determine, if possible,
just what the status of the mer-
chants on either side of the river
was under the retail dealers code,
recently put into effect.
1t was concluded that Kennewick
merchants, save for the two repre-
sentatives of national chains, do
not come within the conditions as
laid out in the code, but that the
Pasco retailers do, except under
certain conditions.
The retailers code states that
merchants in towns Of more than
$500 population come within the
scope of the code. Exceptions are
made, however, for stores which
employ less than six and those
handling food products, tobacco
or milk and it's products. Admins
tration of the code is invested in
a state organization and some dis
cussion was had relative to wheth-
er or not local merchants should
form a unit of the state organiza-
ton. The Yakima and Walla
Walla branches have both sent in
vitations to the local men to at
filiate. Representatives from both
Kennewick and Pasco will attend
the meeting in Walla Walla this
week to learn more regarding the
advantages therefrom.
1t is expected that a speaker
will be sent from Walla Walla next
Tuesday to explain the working OF
the project to the dealers in the
two towns.

appointments to the various
school districts from the states
occupational tax inaugurated, and
effective only since the first OF
August this year, have been con-
siderably larger than was antici-
pated, according to Louis Kelley,
deputy treasurer. "No. one antici-
pated that the districts would ben
eft much from the receipts from
the occupational tax until 1884,"
Mr.. Kelly stated
The Kennewick district received
$3,lS2.41, according to the appor-
tionment just made, Mr.. Kelly
stated and the Richland district
81, 1886. The consolidated Ho-
ver-Finley district received $s42.7s
from the states funds.
Collections on the last half OF
the 1892 taxes are beginning to
come in at fair rate" Mr.. Kelly
said. "They are taking advantage
of the tax agreement provision
enacted by the last Legislature
which provides that 1881 and prior
years can be merged in contract
payable 1-20 each six months for
the next ten years, interest on the
deferred portion at the rate of six
percent.
'tIt is expected that the rail
roads of the county will pay their
last half of the 1882 tax" he said,
"as they have so indicated. If
they do pay, it should bring our
collections somewhere near normal
for the month of November"

First Baptist Church

The local church like all other
organizations has it share of
hypocrites. The true church, the
body of Christ, composed of those
who have received Him as Saviour,
believers from all groups from the
time of Pentecost, contains no hyp-
ocrites. Because the dollar has a
value, there are many counterfeit
dollars on the market. Not to be-
come Christian !. on account Of
the Hypocrites or counterfeits is
to make yourself smaller than
they. 1 would rather suffer to be
associated with the Hypocrites
here than to spend eternity, with
them in the place of judgment.
