TEXAS COAST IS DUE
FOR HEAVY BLOW

HOUSTON, Texas, Sept. A.
(UP). = Swiftly dropping bar
ometers heralded the approach of
terrific tropical storm toward
the Texas coast. Warnings are
UP from Freeport to Corpus
Christ.
TAMPA, Fla, Sept. a. (UP).
Roaring across Central Florida, a
tropical storm was conferred
slightly to the northwest of Lake
Okeechobee this morning and
may not pass out into the Gulf
of Mexico near here, until late
today.
w. w. Talbot, weather OBJ
server, said the fierce winds
seemed to be diminishing as the
storm moved northwest from the
East Florida coast where it
struck with velocity of 100 miles
an hour about midnight. Talbot
said no reports of casualties had
been made to him.
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla,
Sept. 4.-(UP).-Howling winds
reached near hurricane velocity
of 70 miles an hour here early
today as severe tropical storm
roared in from the Bahamas.
AS residents of this sector of
the Florida East coast-north-
ward from Miami to Melbourne
-braced themselves for the hur-
ricane, another severe storm blew
across the Gulf of Mexico toward
the Teas coast.
The storm crossing the Gulf,
which dashed. Cuba a few days
ago, was expected to strike the
Texas coast sometime today.
On ship, the Western Sword,
small freighter, was reported in
distress in the path of the hurrl-
cane approaching the Florida
coast last night. With it's pro:
peller gone, the Western Sword
radioed that it was anchored in
an attempt to ride out the storm
while the coast guard cutter
Unalga sped to its rescue from
Fort Lauderdale.
The rapidly falling barometer
and increasing winds here indi-
Gated that the center of the dis
turbance probably would strike
soon in this vicinity. High winds,
accompanied by lashing rains
were blowing all along the 100
mile stretch of coast between
here and Fort Pierce.
Hurricane warnings were dis
played north of Miami to Mel
bourne with storm warnings over
the remainder of the coast.
Residents throughout this re-
gion were evacuating to higher
ground. A steady stream of au-
tomobiles loaded with men, wo-
men and children were leaving
West Palm Beach. Two special
trains were evacuating residents
of the inland everglades area
about Lake Okeechobee. =.
Residents generally expected
the storm to be the most damag-
ing since the blow of 1928. Used
to preparing for tropical storms,
however, they went calmly about
boarding up houses and stores
and seeking places of safety.
Preparations for emergency re-
lief went forward throughout the
threatened area. All central CON-
mittee heads of the Red Cross
here were ordered to report early
Approximately 5000 persons
were being evacuated from the
Lake Okeechobee region by the
special trains ordered by Gov
ernor Dave Sholtz from ITALIA

DODD SEEKING
APPROPRIATION
FOR UMATILLA
Asks Kennewick to Help in
Securing Federal oMney to
Put 10000 Men at Work;
Big Freight Saving

Putting five to ten thousand
men at work within, thirty days is
the primary object of the plan to
build the Umatilla dam, according
to a statement made this noon at
the chamber of commerce by E. p.
Dodd, executive secretary of the
Tri-State Development league. Mr..
Dodd is engaged in securing sup
aort from Columbia river territory
in having the dam built.
In addition to the unemployment
relief angle, providing slack water
transportation to the mouth of the
Snake river will be provided by the
construction of a fifty-foot dam
at Umatilla Rapids, Mr.. Dood told
the club members. At present the
power angle of the construction
has not been gone into, but the
plan now being pushed will pro-
vide for additions to the first unit
when necessary to add the power
feature.
Mr.. Dodd stated that there would
undoubtedly be some federal de-
velopment along the Columbia riv-
er and that the Umatilla project
stood an equal chance with the
proposed BONNEVILLE development in
the gorge near Portland.
Efforts are now being made
thru the proper channels to secure
the appropriation. The preliminary
surveys and tests have all been
made by the army engineers and
immediate action can be taken as
soon as the appropriation can be
secured. The development would
in no way conflict with the Coulee
Dam project, he stated.
Withw alter competition, Mr..
Dodd stated, transportation rates
would be inevitably lowered. The
saving estimated in the transpor-
tation of wheat alone, he estimates
will amount to more than three
and half million dollars annually.
The average reduction in freight
rates on apples would account for
another annual saving of over a
million dollars, he said.
Mr.. Dodd is soliciting member
ships in the Tdi-State Development
league with which to finance the
effort to secure the federal appro-
priation. The league will shortly
'hald meeting in Walla Walla
when the whole plan will be ex-
planned to prominent men thruout
the nation. The governors of the
three states have been invited and
the matter will be pressed for i'm
mediate attention by the federal
government.

WHEAT MEN TO
HOLD MEETING
ON NEW PLAN
Three Sessions to Explain
Latest Developments of AL
l0tements on Curtailed Pro-
Guction; Here Monday

Three meetings viii be sched-
uled for the various wheat COM
munities of the county to be held
August %, % and 80. Wheat grow
ers from the Eastern Horse Heay-
en- community and Locust Grove
will meet at the Hotel Kennewick
Monday, August 2Sth. Wheat
growers of the Western Horse
Heaven section will meet at the
Kiona Benton community club
rooms, Tuesday, August 20 and the
wheat growers of the Western and
Eastern Rattlesnake community
will meet at the Prosser commun.
ity club rooms Wednesday, August
80.
All wheat growers on irrigated
sections within the county who are
interested in the wheat plan should
attend the meeting nearest them.
1t is difficult to secure a mailing
list of wheat growers on the irri-
gated sections as they are quite
scattered. Wheat growers then Of
this area should give particular at
tention to this notice.
All of the above meetings will
start at 900 am. with definite
attempt being made 10 complete
the program by noon. If neces-
sary, however, longer time will be
taken and We believe this will be
time well spent on the part of the
wheat growers. Meetings are be-
ing held at this time so as to come
in ahead of seeding.
Conversation with at least a
helf dozen wheat farmers within
the last few days has convinced
us that there is lot of mis.nfcr-
nation out in regard to the wheat
allotment plan. This will be the
last series of general meetings to
acquaint farmers with the pro-
gram. We believe that final infor-
nation will be available on all
points on which there has been a
question by this time and particu-
larly urge that every wheat farm
er attend this meeting unless he
is absolutely sure that he under
stands the plan and that there will
be no benefit to him if he comes
under the plan.

THEATREP PUTS
ON TWO SHOWS
Four Day Program Each
Week; Big Feature to Open
the Event

Attendance at the local theatre
was so satisfactory at the last
weekend offerings, that the man.
agement has decided to give local
patrons a chance to see more Of
them. For the next four or five
weeks two changes of program
will be given, according to local
manager. The new program will
start next week with the seasons
latest big hits.
In addition, this show will be
run on the same dates in Kenne-
wick as in Pasco. This is the break
the Kennewick people have been
asking for. The show which will
open the new schedule will be
Gold Diggars of 1888" and will
cpen for two-day run COM
msncing Friday, September 1.
This show is one of the seasons
biggest spectacles and is drawing
big houses wherever it is being
shown. The regular Sunday and
Monday show for that week will be
Head Line Shooters" also one of
the late releases. This weeks show
will be second run for this COM
munity, but it is one of the big
shows of the season, Estate Fair"
This show features Will Rogers
and the big pig. 1t was shown some
time ago in Pasco, but it is still
just as good a show as it was then.
The additional show dates are in
the nature Of an experiment the
manager states. If attendance vii!
warrant the expense, the plan will
be adopted regularly, and if justi-
fled, will be increased. Under the
new bookings, also, the bigger
features are being booked for both
towns, he says. Previous con-
tracts prevented the showing of
the same class of pictures here.

ROAD WORK IS
NOT CERTAIN
Highway Appropriation Out
Because of Shortage in Tax
Collections

But scant hope that the state
highway department will appro-
pirate funds for work on the Ken
newick Paterson road was brot
back by the committee from the
local chamber of commerce, Coun-
ty Commissioner Jay Perry, E. j.
Brand and H. G. Fyfe was the
committee which made the trip to
Olympia the first of the week.
If the work is to be done, about
the only chance, Mr.. Fyfe report
ed at the luncheon this noon, will
be to secure the money from re-
lief funds. While 100000 has been
appropriated for the work, tax
collections have been SO slow that
the money is not available.
1t is thought that it will be
possible TO secure an appropriation
from the states instruction bond
issue, purely on a relief basis,
later in the season. The matter
will be further pushed Saturday
evening of this week, when the
county relief committee will have
another meeting.
The chamber and the relief COM
mittee is particularly anxious to
secure this work, for it offers about
the only possible chance for en-
ployment in this area. AS the
work can be almost entirely done
by hand labor, it offers splendid
opportunity to help in this part of
the county.

SIS Cash Prize Added by
Courier-Reporter for Drives
Final Week i'm Big Campaign
Loans Not to Cancel
Wheat Benefit Cash

Washington wheat farmers who
agree to reduce their acreage will
receive the full adjustment pay
ments specified in the contract
even though, they owe the govern
ment money on crop or seed loans,
according to an announcement re-
ceived from Secretary Wallace,
says E. c. Durdle, county agent.
Although this action does not
lessen the obligation of the indi:
vidual to repay government loans,
it does assure increased purchasing
power for every wheat farmer who
cooperates in the wheat adjust
ment program. Wheat farmers
who desire to do so may apply the
benefit payments to, any outstand-
ing government loans. Pip
The new ruling will affect few
in this county. ..

YAKIMA FAIR
is UNDER WAY
Town Takes Over Show this
Year; Good Program Being
Planned

Central Washington is to have
fair in lieu of the Washington
State Fair, which was given leave
Of absence by the last legislature.
Demands of livestock breeders
for a show prompted the Yakima
Junior Chamber of Commerce to
take up the project. Use Of the
state fair grounds for five days,
September 81 to October /, was
obtained. and support Of the val
ley's civic, commercial and farm
organizations enlisted.
Horse racing for each Of the five
days has been assured. Participa-
ton Of some of the best horses on
the coast has been promised for
the races.
A midway with new and novel
rides is being arranged by an exc
perienced show man, who is draw
ing attractions from several earn
ivals now playing Northwest fairs.
Starting from scratch, the jun
Tor chamber will finance the pre-
liminary expenses of the fair by
an advance ticket sale throughout
Central Washington. A contest is
planned in each community in
which a candidate for queen Of
the fair will be nominated by tic
ket purchasers.
In keeping with the times Che
price of admission tickets, both to
the grounds and to the grandstand
has been sharpely cut, and auto

PRUNE CROP IS
ABOUT Is CARS
Half Roll Out of PascO; Fears
Now Under Way; Melons
Unsatisfactory

About rs cars of prunes will be
the size of the local crop in this
district this year, according to re-
ports gathered here today. The
crop is woefully short. Of the above
amount, about half is being ship
ped from the Pasco side.
The prune harvest started Fri
day afternoon, with the first cars
to roll on Monday night from the
orchard of j. /. Hill, packed in the
recently opened warehouse of
growers, directed by w. S. Green.
These were the first to go from
the district with two cars from
the Big Y Tuesday morning and
two that evening from the same
warehouse.
The Big Y began the Bartlett
pear season this week, and brot it
to a close, as all the pears went to
the cannery on account of the mar
ket conditions. A number Of the
growers and orchardists are pack
ing out their pears and plan to
ship to the market. It is expected
there will be about so cars of
Barelett pears shipped from the
district, according to growers and
dealers.
The d'Anjou pear harvest will
start in September and is the larg-
est pear harvest of the district.
The Jonathan apple harvest is
expected to start about the first
of September, which is expected
to be about the same size crop as
last year, according to the grow
ers.
Watermelon and cantaloupe har-
vest reached its peak this week.
Many truck loads have been sent
to nearby markets, but prices are
reported unsatisfactory.
