CONSOLIDATION
SCHOOL PLAN
FALLSTHROUGH
Finley Willing but Hover Pa
irons Balk; Suggest Both
Districts Send H. S. Pupils
to Kennewick for Economy

Consolidation Of the Finley and
Hover school districts was blocked
last Saturday at the special cleo
tion by the failure of the propo-
sition to carry in the Hover dis
trict. The Finley district voted SO
to z in favor of the plan. Approval
of both districts was necessary to
complete the consolidation.
BoBth schools have been in
stringent financial condition and
the consolidation would enable the
district to remain on the accred-
tied list, it is said, as well as re-
duce the school costs for both dis
tricts. A plan is on foot to induce
both districts to send their high
school pupils to the Kennewick
school as was done by the Hover
district last year. There is also
some talk of admitting the high
school students from Richland, too.
if financial stringencies cause too
restricted course there.

UPPING GAS is
IRKING USERS
Dealers Report Less Gallon
age as Result of Increase
i'm Price

A retaliative move against the
oil companies is being staged by
motorists of the Kennewick region
by leaving their cars at home and
curtailing their use to the fullest
extent, since the price of gas was
raised to % cents the first of the
week.
Motorists feel that they are be-
ing unjustly Disseminated against
with what is considered to be the
highest priced gasoline in the state
and do not feel that transporta-
ton rates to this point should make
the price difference.
Dealers report that at this time
of year their gallonage usually in
creases, while this spring the in
crease has not been as great, al
though the district is in the midst
of its early crop season. They have
also declared that motorists are
being forced to purchase the
cheaper grades of fuel for what
motoring is necessary.
Farmers, too, are joining in the
move by using horses more extern
sively in their farm tasks, and are
even hitching old Dobbin up to
their long idle buggies, for daily
trips to town.

TAKES
CHAMPS DOWN
Locals Lose First Game of
Season at County Seat by
1O-1 Score

Anybody's base ball team is en-
titled to lose one game q season
and last Sundays game with Pros
ser was Kennewick's time to boot
one. The score, in a ragged game,
was 100. There was some excuse
for the loss, at that, for Kennc-
wick lacked q pitcher and q couple
of the other regulars were not in
the lineup. AS q consequence there
were several additional points add
d to the Prosser mems batting av-
erages.
This was the first loss of the
summer for the Kennewicq team
and they made it good one while
they were at it. The game next
Sunday will be played here with
Grandview and now that the To-
Gals have run out of foolishness,
it should be pretty fair game.

express about 25 boxes Of Seneca
variety to Spokane and Seattle
from his orchard in the Highlands.
Other shippers sent out Tartarians
and Senacas Tuesday. The grow
ers report a fair price being quot
ed for the early cherries. The
Bings and other varieties are ex-
pected to be ready to roll about

Winkenwerder shipped some inn
proved Tartarians Tuesday after

Cherry growers are real opti-
mistic at prospects for crop this
year, and the warm days Of the
past week have given them much
encouragement, they state.
The first peas Of the season were
sent out to the city markets this
week from the Hover district.
Early spud crop is expected TO
start for the city markets about
the Goth of the month. Some Of
them have made their first appear

RIVER RISING
TO HIGH MARK
Cooler Weather Slows Up the
Rapid Rate; Debris Piles
Against Bridge Piling

The song "Old Man River" is
beginning to have decisive mean
ing here, as the Columbia has con-
tinued its record spring raise, and
now is but a few feet from record
high of 1928.
Unless the melting of SHOWS in
the streams and mountain sources,
the Benton Franklin Fair grounds
stream will pass from its usual
high water banks and flow across
valuable farm lands in some Of the
lower places. At several points the
river has already crept from it's
banks, near the Kennewick-P asco
highway span it is but a few feet
from farm land, while numerous
islands in the stream are now
completely covered with the swirl
ing waters.
With cool weather the past few
days the river has taken a rest
from its hurried raise, and rose
but 5 inches in SO hours.
A highway crew has been work
ing for over a week at the Kenne.
wick end of the highway span dis
lodging deposits Of drift wood that
have been piling up against the
bridge piers. State Policeman Mar
win Carnahan said the situation
was not dangerous, but if the wood
were allowed to accumulate it
might result in a serious jam.

COUNTY GOES
. BACK ON CASH
BASIS AGAIN
Warrant Call Next Week Also
to Clean Up Several School
Districts; Residents Take
Advantage of New Law

A warrant call, scheduled for
the last of next week, will put
Benton county back on a cash
basis, after nine months of war
rant Indebtedness, according to
word received from the county
treasurer's office this week. For
the first time in its history the
county was forced on the warrant
basis last fall. Tax collections
have been made this spring to en-
able the county to again resume
its cash rating. The call will also
place several school districts on a
cash rating, Mr.. Kelly, deputy
treasurer, said.
Tax collections in May were
good, Kelly said, and the county is
in good financial condition. Col
lections amounted to $373,S5S and
disbursements totaled $18S,S31.
Current assessment payments
since the first of the year total
$637 900, which is more than half
of the total levy. The Union Pa
cific, the S. p. & S. and the Mil
waukee paid fifty percent of their
taxes.
Numerous residents, Mr.. Kelly
said, have taken advantage Of the
new law which enables them to pay
their delinquent assessments with
out interest and with a rebate.
A complete check of the school
districts that will return to cash
basis has not been made, but it is
assured that several of them will,
the deputy added.

Teachers Pay Cuts
Average Is Per Cent

Pay cuts averaging fifteen per
cent were indicated on the con-
tracts offered KenneWick teach
ers this week by the local board.
Some of the cuts have been above
this average, while the teachers
now receiving less than 500 a
month were given reduction of
about ten percent. The school will
lose smaller number of teachers
than usual by marriage this year,
two or three indicating the fact
that they will eliminate themselves
in this manner.

WHAT SHALL
WE SPENDOUR
MONEY UPON?
Committees Working to Find
Projects Upon Which to
Use County's Share of the
State and Federal Funds

What most needs doing in this
end of the county?
Given $4,000 or $4,000 to spend
almost entirely for labor, what un-
dertaking should be selected?
Should it be spent on road build
ing, water works, recreational
fields, school house-or what?
Since the state has authorized a
ten million dollar bond issue to be
matched with federal funds, a GER
tain amount of the money will be
made available for Benton coun-
ty. This money is to be matched,
it is understood, by county money.
In this manner the county can Sc
cure improvements and works of
various sorts for half price.
A part of the money has al
ready been spoken for. A certain
portion, it is understood-half-is
to be spent on road work. Several
of the irrigation districts have
spoken for a portion of the money
and will no doubt be able to match
their shares to secure it. There
will still be money available, pos
sibly and suggestions are being
asked for plans to spend it.
The matter was brought before
the chamber of commerce this noon
by H. G. Fyfe, who explained the
provisions of the deal. A special
committee has been appointed by
the chamber to work out what
suggestions appear to them. These
plans will be laid before the coun-
ty work committee which is COM
posed of E. J. BBrand, w. C. Null
draw, County Engineer Strand
void, w. C. Sommers, Prosser and
Chase, Hanford.
Inasmuch as the larger portion
Of the money must be spent for
labor only, the field of activity is
somewhat limited. The suggestion
was made that the city streets be
improved, that if possible a new
school house be built. Still another
was for the construction
IF a state game and fish farm be
built somewhere on the Yakima
river with a lake in connection
which might also be used as re-
creational grounds for picnics and
fishing trips.
IF a suggestion occurs to any
reader regarding a wise exenditure
Of this money, the committee will
hearing Of it.

GOSS RESIGNS
TO ACCEPT A
FEDERAL JOB
Head of State Grange for IL
Years to Go to Washington;
Was Formerly a Resident
of Finley District

In his annual address, State
Master A. S. Goss announc-
ed that he had accepted federal
position and would not be cand-
idate for reelection. Mr.. Goss has
been head of the state grange for
eleven years and would, no doubt,
have been elected again.
The announcement came as .
complete surprise to most Of the
delegates to the grange convention
now being held in Yakima and no
slate had been prepared for his
successor. To enable him to ac-
cept his federal appointment, Mr..
Goss recently resigned from the
state Columbia Basin commission
to which he was appointed by Gov.
Martin.
Mr.. Goss will become commits
sioner in new national farm credit
organization, with headquarters in
Washington, DC, and will leave
shortly to take up his duties there
June 20, it is understood.
Before taking his position as
head of the grange, Mr.. Goss was
resident of the Finley district
and also acted as community cor
respondent for The Courier-Re-
porter.
Erwin e. King, a wheat farmer
from Pullman was elected yester-
day to succeed Mr.. Goss as state
master of the grange.
