TURN WATER IN
CANAL MAR. 20;
DELIVERIES q
Maintenance Reduced Coo per
Acre; Much Permanent Inn
provement Done During Win
ter; Receive Flood Relief

The Columbia Irrigation district
will start printing the canal about the
goth of the month, with water deliv-
cries due about a week later. This
information was received from the
office this afternoon. The extremely
dry weather of the past couple of
weeks had the directors guessing and
it looked as tho it would be necessary
to turn the water in even sooner than
that. The recent rains, however,
have delayed the opening date.
The maintenance rate this year has
been reduced sixty cents per acre
also. The rate will be So 90 as against
$3.50 for the past five years. State
nents of water tolls will be sent out
by the district office about the first
of the month, according to Secretary
Frank Maupin.
Much work has been done on the
canal system this winter. The mild
weather has permitted great deal
of outside labor and with the CWA
and other relief agencies the district
has come off lucky. Some 1880 feet
of the ditch has been lined with con-
crete. About two thirds Of this
amount has been done by the Kenne-
wick district under their contract and
the remainder as part Of the Column
bias permanent Improvement plan.
A crew of federal flood relief men
has repaired to some extent the raw
ages made by the December rampage
of the Yakima river. This damage
was just below the headgates and the
relief crews have saved the district
substantial sum. 1t enabled the
district to spend its winter mainten-
ance money on gravelling program
which is now being pushed. Six
trucks are now engaged in hauling
gravel as a protection against scour.
During the month Of February, Secre-
tary Maupin reports approximately
90 men were given employment on
ditch work.

MACHINERY FOR
CANNERY is ON
THE WAY HERE
Shipment. Now on Road; to Be
Installed at Once; Output
Largely Sold; to Contract
Crops

Machinery for Kennewick's new
cannery was started rolling from
Occur d'Alene today, according to a
telegram received from Manager A.
]. Brownell by w. S. Green this morn
ing. Immediately upon arrived the
big machines will be set up ready for
the opening of the canning season,
which will begin some time next
month. 3 -
In the meantime Mr.. Green is in
terviewing growers in the district TO
interest them in making contracts
for the products for which Mr.. Brow
nell will find market. Asparagus,
the first crop to be put into cans, has
been arranged for thru the local or
CARNATIONS. The cannery grass, the
first to be put into cans, will be pur-
chased and paid for at the prevailing
market prices. Other crops will be
governed by the code prices which
are yet to be set.
The capnery got a real break the
first of the week. Finding the past
winters relief plan not too successful,
the federal government is preparing
to take new tack. Financial assist
ance to those industries which are
large employers of labor is made
possible and it is thought that the new
cannery will be enabled to secure
federal aid in their operations. A
special inquiry from the federal re-
serve bank in San Francisco relat-
ing to this phase was received by the
local institution and complete data
concerning the local institution was
Immediately relayed to the federal
bank.
Has Big Orders
Mr.. Brownell was in town the first
of the week, leaving to superintend
the shipment of the machinery.
While here he exhibited firm orders
for some eighty-five thousand dol
lars worth of canned products. This
represents but a fraction Of his con-
templated output, but is an indica-
ton of the confidence which whole
saiers have in his ability as a pro-
cessor.
AS soon as the grass begins TO come
to the markets, Mr.. BrowneH will put
up quantity as samples which the
local plant may be expected to sup
ply the trade. This first batch viii
be sent to wholesalers and the quail
ity is expected to result in flood Of
orders, which will keep the plant
busy thruout the season.
In the meantime, w. s. Green, who
has been engaged as field man, Is
making tentative contracts with the
growers for beans and tomatoes.
While no definite prices are yet avail
able, on account of the provisions Of
the canning code, the local concern
will comply with code provisions. Any
grower wishing to grow these prod
ucts is requested to get in touch with
Mr.. Green as soon as possible. After
the first Of the week someone will be
available at the plant at all times.

GETTING ALLOF
IT'S CWA QUOTA
Roard Quotes Figures on Relief
Works; District Is Given More
Than Third of County's Al
lOtment ..4.z.-..

The Kennewick district has no hol-
her coming on the distribution of re-
i;sf work and funds, according to 9
A IN made today by the county well
ssr. committee. On the contrary this
s;str;ct received, so far, more than its
.;uat share, according to their figures.
An of the state grant and aid funds
.n,onntinr to $4,000, which was spent
N the Kennewick Irrigation district,
- ali of the work relief funds, some
$500. spent on the Columbia district.
,rh;ch had been allocated to Benton
County was spent in this district. The
MINER end of the county did not re-
ceiye any of the ALLEGATIONS from
these two funds, according to Chair
man Walt Sommers. In addition to
The two state projects mentioned
above. the district received its fair
share of the CWA allotments all thru
the deal.
Population Basis
Apportioning the county on ba-
sis Of population, value of crops and
assessed valuations, the Kennewick
district was given 81 percent OF the
county ALLEGATION, Pbosser 35 per-
cent and the remainder divided be-
tween the balance of the county. On
this basis the Kennewick men and
projects have already received 81
percent of the $1,000 in labor, In adj
dition to an amount equal to rs per-
cent of the latter sum which was
spent for materials.
The material allotment in Benton
county was considerably greater in
proportion, than any other county in
the state, Mr.. Sommers stated, point
ing to the fact that Walla Walla
county did not receive any money
whatever for materials.
Flood Relief
He also pointed out that the flood
relief workers, all of whom are work.
ing in the lower end of the county,
were not included in the county's al
lotment, and consequently his commit
tee had nothing whatever to do with
them. Neither does the allotment of
50 men now employed on the Prosser
airport come within the scope of his
committee. This is also federal
project and has no bearing upon the
county's man allotment.
During the entire time the CWA
allotment was in effect, Kennewick
has received its full quotas, he said,
and now that the number has been
reduced this end is still receiving it's
full share. Last week the quota Of
$50 men having been cut to 102, Ken
newick received 81 men on the city
projects, eleven on the school, four on
The Horn road and five were charg-
ed to administration. This week the
city will receive 80 men, the school z,
and one on The Horn road. The flood
relief men, 80 in number, are still to
be retained as are also the So men on
the Prosser airport. The latter
work but Is hours per week, while
the flood relief men get 80 hours per
week.

Capt. John Holland to Start
Work at Herbert River
INN e diately

Capt. John Holland, mining en-
gineer from Denver, Colorado, who
has taken an option on the Herbert
River mining property in which
Mrs. Frank Garnick, DR.. and Mrs.
L. P. Dawes, C. L. Gilsinger and
E. c. Kibbey, owners, have retained
an interest, arrived this morning
on the steamer Aleutian.
Capt. Holland plans to install a
specially built 100-ton mill and
other equipment necessary includ-
ing tractor and truck as soon as
it arrives in Juneau. Actual pro-
duction is to begin as quickly as
possible. A portion of the machin-
cry arrived on the Northwestern
and most of the remainder is to
come north on the Haleakala.
All local labor is to be used in
the installation and development
of the mine, according to Mrs
Garnick.
Capt. Holland first looked over
the property last June and left
after a short stay here, to assemble
the equipment needed for the hard
rock mine. He is enthusiastic about
the prospects of developing a good
sized mine and left shortly after
his arrival here to spend the day
at the property. He plans to locate
permanently in Juneau to supervise
the operations.

ISLANDER TO
co SOUTH IS
: LATEST Plan
Visitors Now Allowed on
Famous Wreck-About
$4,000 Is Loot

The latest project to be planned
by the Curtis Wiley Marine Sal
wage Company, salvors OF the Is
lander wreck, is the transporting
of the battered and barnacle-en-
crusted hull to Seattle.
If the idea is put into effect
the Islander will float on the seas
again, lashed to one of the barges
used to raise her, either the Griff-
son or the Forest Pride, and towed
down the inland passage by the
tug Georgia.
The start, as planned, will be
in about two weeks, and 1t Is
thought the trip will consume near
ly as much time.
Hull Is Solid
The hull is said to be quite solid,
and by the use of cement across
the broken end, it will be possible
to keep the derelict from sinking.
Saturday, for the first time, visit
ors were allowed to go aboard the
Islander, and were conducted
through it's passages and state
rooms. The reason for the grant,
ing of this privilege is that the
work of regaining the valuables
aboard the ship when it sank have
been nearly completed.
About $4,000 are said to be the
returns on an expenditure of APP
proximately 100000 by various sal
yaging companies. Some $4,000
of this sum were in the form OF
gold, and the remainder in jewelry
trinkets and other valuables, in

BANK DEPOSITS
SHOW INCREASE
IN Il MONT Tbs
Two Major F actors Re.
sponsible for Renewed
Confidence Of People

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.-An in
crease of three billion dollars in
bank deposits is reported by J. F.
T. O'Connor. Comptroller OF Cur
rency.
The increase is attributed to
two major factors, reopening OF
more than 500 banks since The
year ending June 80 ard the fact
that the new deposit insurance
law stimulated confidence in per-
sons who felt they were not sure
after the 1888 financial ci!sis.
National bank depos.s5 totaled
approximately nineteen billion dol
lars.
