Grand Coulee high dam. This res,
olution stated that the construc-
ton of a low dam at the Grand
Coulee site would make it very diff
fIcult, If not impossible, to build the
high dam and that the full re-
sources of the Columbia River
should be utilized by the construc-
ton of the high dam"
The total amount involved in the
contract held by the Mason-Walsh-
Atkinson-Ki company is $50, 000,-
600. No concrete has as yet been
poured for the low dam No addi-
tional costs are involved from the
low to the high dam. The con-
tractors are directed to construct
the high dam and power plant
foundations from bedrock up to
various elevations shown in the
plans.
The low water elevation Of the
Columbia at the Grand Coulee dam
site is 933 feet. Certain blocks or
portions of the dam will be built to
elevation 985 feet, although some of
them will be built to $50 feet. Some
of the blocks will be built to only
935 to allow for the passage of wa
ter during construction. The power
house foundations win be carried
up to elevation $40 feet, or to the
level of the turbine floors. This

CHERRY CROP
is JUST ABOUT
HALF NORMAL
Higher Price Offsets Low
Production; Harvest Gives
Jobs to 300 People; New
Trees Are Numerous

Feverish activity has marked the
cherry season In this district despite
the fact that Just about half a nor
NAL crop is being marketed. The
price, however, is considerably bet
ter than has been the case for the
past couple Of years.
Nearly three hundred people have
been employed during the past week
in the packing plants alone, with
probably an equal II not larger
number in the fields, picking and
transporting the crop.
Paul Brtant, Of Yakima, has had
the largest crew, handling the Will
hams, Parks, Ferguson and other
crops and packing the fruit in the
Erickson building. He has had 127
packers at work with "a other en-
ployees on the job. They will have
shipped out II straight cars by the
end of the week.
The Y has shipped eight cars.
which have been handled by 78
packers and the washington Early
crops have had q crew of about as
getting out five cars. MIR. Lampson
reports the crop of unusually fine
quality, in spite Of the wind this
summer. He says that the cherry
crop in the next couple OF years
will be considerably increased, as he
has noted a considerable acreage OF
young trees throughout the dis
trict, some Of which are Just com
ing into bearing this year.
The first car of spuds was ship
ped today, with the price not as
satisfactory as had been anticipat-
ed. It Is expected that the price
level VIII improve with the later
digging.

$500 APPLY FOR
STATE OLD AGE
PENSION CASH
SDPW Office Goes to Prosser
this Week; Pension Bust
ness to Be Handled by r.
Mcdonald

Headquarters Of the Benton coun-
ty office Of the SDPW Estate De-
partment Of Public Welfarel were
moved Monday Of this week from
Kennewick to Prosser and are now
located In the old Citizens State
bank building recently vacated by
the Anderson studio. Miss Loretta
O'Malley, supervisor of social sery-
ice for this county, stated that the
reason for this change is due to the
fact that there is more relief work
there than In this end of the
county and the further fact that the
cid age pension work has been add
ed to her office and It seemed adj
visable to direct that work from
the county seat.
There will be personnel OF four
people in the office including Miss
O'Malley, Glyn Thoreston, In
charge of self help. Miss Lois Bill
ings, stenographer and Robert Mac
Donell of Hanford, who has charge
Of the old age pension work. The Of
flee viii be open Friday, Saturday
and Mondays in Prosser, Wednes-
days at Benton City and Thursdays
at White Bluffs.
M. Mehl of Yakima is in charge
Of the pension work in this district
and he says that already $500 APP
plications are on hand from per-
sons who have been receiving pen
sions from their respective coun-
ties or have previously applied for
them. These persons need not reap
ply In order to become eligible for
the state pensions going into effect
July 1, Mehl states. He also stresses
the point that applicants do not
need to go to the office as the d.
vision will contact as promptly as
possible all those who have made
application. Those who have not
yet applied may receive blanks from
any welfare office IN the district.
Those who have changed their adj
dress since making application
should notify the office Of such
change.

CITY LONGS TO

Public Works Offer from US.
Attracts Attention of City
Officials for Road Work

Waiting for George to do it has
probably cost some of the local res
idents some street improvements.
During the interim the petitioners
on Ave. A have secured the con-
sent of all but one Of the property
owners along that street to the ex-
ira assessment and the city's spare
road funds will probably go to-
ward that job.
It was planned to settle the mat
ter definitely last Tuesday evening
at the regular council meeting, but
because of lack of a quorum the
meeting was not held. However, the
delay may prove profitable to the
city at large, too. The new public

the mayor, attorney and the two
members of the council who were
present, in the light of the letters
they have been receiving, asking

Cops Give Suspect Clear Bill
After Citizens ''Spot" Man
Thought to be Missing
Principal

Not because he's got a mean dis
position, but because its matter
Of business with him, our deputy
sheriff, Harry Cochran, occasionally
puts a damper on excitment thrills.
He did Tuesday, squelching first
class thrill that some of the grown
ups on the main street were indulg-
ing in.
The story is like this. Rabid read
ers of the dailies with their detailed
stories of crime and kidnapping and
such like, seem to acquire a NOSE
for news" Leastwise, they have ac-
tive imaginations and seem to see
a lot of things others pass up. Any
way, one of our prominent citizens
popped into the printing office yes
terday with a breathless request to
step out and take look at that
fellow with the black shirt stand
ing there"
On our return after a careful
scrutiny: Doesn't he look like those
pictures of Mahan, the kidnapper?
Notice the scar on his face? Notice
the tattoo marks on his arm? Better
we call the police?"
And that's just what they did.
Running into Mayor Anon they
hotfooted 1t out to Rube Gest's
home, woke him out Of a sound
sleep and came back to town, pick
ing Harry Cochran on the way. One
look at the suspect and the cops
called off the excitement. Nothing
to it.
And the dreams of the ten
thousand bucks reward were shat
tered just like that.
Couple Of Kennewick boys up at
Kahlotus participated in some ex-
citement along the same line the
other evening just after dark. A
big car came tearing down the
road, swung off sharply and ran
behind garage, dousing the lights
as they stopped. Some of the brav-
er bystanders mustered up courage
enough to grab flashlights and
saunter over to investigate. Just
as they got near, the car was start.
ed, swung around sharply and tore
off up the road In a cloud of dust.
As it whirled, the onlookers were
not surprised to see the rear Of the
car was peppered with bullet holes.
Telephone calls further up the line
failed to cast any further light on
the fleeing car.

The Swing in the Apple Orchard
By ANNE CAMPBELL

THE swing in the apple orchard | Was loveliest in spring, We swayed in the dewy morning Where trees were blossomlng. Our aim was to reach the fragrance Of highest bloom of all. The birds in their brown nests
 trembled,
 We heard their mother call. The swing in the apple orchard, When summer shed it's gold, Was drenched with leafy splen-
 dor
 That was regal to behold. We saw. as the apples ripened, The silver hand of Time. His shadow across the orchard Tucked apples in their prime. The swing in the apple orchard In autumn, brown and sere, Was summed by the busy children, For the school bell sounded clear. The swing was a teasing ribbon Until the end of May, And 1t hangs now in my remem-
 brance,
 The ghost of bygone day!
