KENNEWICK TO
BACK NEW ROAD
UP THE RIVER
Final Link in MS Highway to
Become Important Outlet to
Activities Around Coulee Dam
Region; to Join Association

= That Kennewick should plug for the
proposed Sam B. Hill all-year highway
was expressed this noon at the cham
Der of commerce meeting when a mo-
ton was made to join the association.
II. S. Hughes, chairman of the roads
committee, who attended the organi-
cation meeting last week, told the
members of the chamber of the i'm
portance and feasibility of the new
road to this district. He said an or
ganization was proposed and was be-
ing formed for the purpose of secur-
ing favorable action from the state
good roads association.
Mr.. Hughes pointed out that with
the work now being undertaken in
the Coulee district that such a road
would be of great benefit to this COM
munity. s
The road, as planned would connect
at White Bluffs, running thru tn e
Priest Rapids district on the west side
Of the Columbia to junction with the
State Highway No. z at the Vantage
bridge. This would complete prac-
tical north and south highway from
Canada to the Oregon border.

WOMEN'S CLUBS
NOW DEMAND
FULL EQUALITY
Want Employment, Salaries and
Promotion i'm Business Life on
Equal Basis With Men; to
Present Plans

Women no longer seek-they de.
mand equality, according to word re.
ceived this week from the National
Federation of Business and PROBES.
sional Women's clubs, by Mrs. v. A
Nevlow, president of the local club
"We demand for women, employment
salaries and promotion on equal terms
with men," so runs the pronouncemeni
of the Board of Directors of the Ma
tional Federation of Business and
Professional Women's clubs as accept.
ed by Miss Evangeline Starr, Seattle
attorney, who is the president Of the
Washington state federation. Miss
Starr represented Washington at a
recent meeting of rs women held al
Colorado Springs, including the pres
idents of the state declarations of the
National organization.
Mrs. Geline Macdonald Bowman OF
Richmond, Virginia, National Presi-
dent, announced at the meeting that
the achievement of permanent econ
omic security for women was to be
the key note of the future work of the
Federation. However, she pointed out
that in this fourth year since the
adoption of their Ten-Year 0bjec-
tive, the federation realizes more and
more clearly that there can be no eco
nomic security for any one class or
group unless it is accomplished for all
men and women alike. "The social and
economic plan that meets our approx
al" said Mrs. Bowman in her address
as president, "must be one that af-
fects the greatest number, prospect
i've of sex or other classification; and
it must take into consideration men
and women on an equal economic
basis"
According to the plans worked out
at Colorado Springs, the pronounce
ment of the Board of directors will be
sent to President Roosevelt and Sec
rotary Of Labor Frances Perkins;
state declarations will present it to
governors and 1862 local clubs of the
federation VIII carry it to the state
and local officials and to other ma.
tional women's organizations.

THINK TIMEIS
RIPE NOW FOR
WATER PROJECT
Columbia Basin Backers to Urge
Immediate Authorization for
Irrigation Unit of Coulee Dam
from Roosevelt ~, 80

Sentiment for the Grand Coulee
high dam is almost unanimous in the
Northwest" said James O'Sullian, ex-
ecutive secretary of the Columbia Ba-
sin commission, today. "Adocates of
the completed structure are praying
that President Roosevelt will authorize
its construction when he inspects the
Grand Coulee dam site on August A.
The construction of the high dam
now" said Mr.. O'Sullian, "means the
orderly development of the Columbia
Basin lands during the next thirty OF
thirty-five years, and therefore, an in.
crease in population of at least 1,500,-
600 in the Northwest. Sincere friends
of the Columbia Basin project fear
that if the low dam is built, it will be
many more generations before the
Columbia Basin lands are reclaimed
Present economic and agricultural
conditions justify the building of the
high dam at this time"
Mr.. O'Sullian has been working for
the Grand Coulee development since
1918. Between 1929 and 1888 he was
executive secretary of the Columbia
River Development League, which did
the pioneer work for the Grand Coulee
Dam. Since April, 1888, he has been
executive secretary of the State Col
umbia Basin commission.
Mr.. O'Sullivan has become familiar
with every phase of the Grand Coulee
development and is recognized as an
authority on the subject. He has been
consistent advocate of the Grand
Coulee system of reclamation by
means of the construction of high
dam at the Grand Coulee.

JOHN DAM TO
SEEK SEAT IN
LEGISLATURE
Prominent Richland Merchant to
Make Campaign for Repre-
sentative for 4-COunty Dis
trict; Keene Files for Sheriff

In the political field the past week
there has not been much excitement.
AS stated in last weeks paper, L. M
Keere filed for the office of sheriff
on the democratic ticket. The only
other candidate in the field was John
Dam Of Richland, who today sent his
filing fee to Olympia where he will be
listed as a candidate for representa-
tive.
Mr.. Keene's filing puts two Kenne-
wick democrats in the race for sheriff
against two republicans from Prosser
and one from Kennewick. In the pri-
maries, Mr.. Keene will oppose Bud
Richter who filed some time ago. The
primary race on the republican ticket
will be between ]. X. Mcfarland, i'm
cumbent and his chief deputy and for
mer. sheriff, Jim Sheppard. The east
end candidate is C. e. Duffy, who has
also served as sheriff for this county
some years ago. .-.,. $500.
Mr.. Dams. entry will make two re-
publican and two democratic candi-
dobSS lOI IlS Ol1lSS- VI representative
for this district. As there will be two
elected, it looks as tho all four can
didates will be compelled to carry
their fight on thru the regular cleo
ton.
There seems to be some little con-
fusion, in regard to registration for
the coming elections. If you live with
in the city limits and have registered
since last September, you will be per-
tion law and it will hold until
lost by not voting or removal from the
district.
If you live outside the city limits
and have registered since January /,
1882, that registration will be good
until January /, 1886, when the per-
manent lists will be prepared, after
which the same conditions will apply
as to those now in the city limits.
Those living inside the corporate lin
its register at the city hall and those
in the adjacent precincts register at
the printing office.

Tuesday evening saw the final wind
UP of the 1884 Italian prune harvest
in the Kennewick district, when the
last car rolled from local warehouse.
About dozen cars of prunes were
sent out this year besides a number
of truck loads. The prunes were said
to be of excellent quality and the mar
ket price was said to be fair. Cars of
tomatoes have been rolling for the
past week to the eastern market, but
yesterday morning reports have been
received that the prices are very un-
satisfactory. A car of winter banans
apples was shipped Friday evening
from the Big Y billed for Egypt.
