Expected Soon as Prices
Here Are Reported to Be
Above the Scale

Prospects Of the local cannery re-
manning open until frost seems very
definite, according to Charles
Parks, the new bookkeeper with the
Kennewick Canning company. The
wheels seem to be going strong
again with the tomatoes coming in
quite fast. Several truckloads have
been shipped in from wapato. be-
sides the local supply. The local
cannery seems to be paying more
for tomatoes than any company
near here. according to Mr.. Parks.
The tomatoes are in very good con-
dition in spite of the fact that many
were reported blighted. A few hun
dred cases are being put out daily,
but they hope to bring the num-
Der up to 1000 cases within few
days.
At the present time there are
about 40 women and is men on the
payroll.
Joe Carrick, who was employed by
the cannery last year has succeed
ed w. J. cornwell as superintend-
emit.

City May Call for Special
Levy to Maintain Two Inn
portant Activities; S t
Costs Eat to Limit

Apparently there will have to be an
other election in the near future, Il
the park and library are to be main

transpose as they may, the city
council is unable to figure out any
method of making the regular ex-
penses of operating the city leave
any margin for the above two pur-
poses.
The council met Tuesday evening
to go over the budget figures again,
following the preliminary hearing
a week ago. The fifteen mills limit
provided under initiative "a is pre-
venting the city from doing prac-
tically anything other than operate
with the fixed overhead for water,
light, police protection and city Of
ficers. Bond redemption and inter
est Of created before the law went
into effect) are in addition to the
fifteen mill current expense limit,
altho Indebtedness taken on since
that date must be carried within
the limit.
So, sometime before the first Of

again be called upon to authorize
q special tax millage to maintain the
library and park.

u. S. HASGOOD
AIR Forecasts
LOCAL YOUTH
Son of Prominent Merchant,
on Vacation from Army
Post, Tells of Up-to-Date
Fighting Equipment

Bernie Neuman, who has been
with the Army Air Corps for the
past year and a half, is here on a
thirty day vacation visiting with his
parents and friends. He is son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Gus Neuman Of
this city.
Mr.. Neuman is, at present, sta
toned at Hamilton Field, located on
San Francisco bay. This flying
field, he states, is the most modern
and beautiful army post in the
world, being completed last summer
at cost of over $10,000,000.
He is now member Of the 9Th
Bombardment Squadron, a tactical
organization belonging to the First
Wing of the CHG Air Force, and
carries the rating of aerial observer
and navigator. In explaining the
meaning of the above Bernie stat
ed that effective last March and
upon the recommendation of the
Military Affairs Committee, con-
gress reorganized the Army Air
Corps to what is now known as the
CHG Air Force, composed of "three
wings" with general headquarters
being at Langley Field, Virginia. The
Pacific Coast comprises the first
wing, the central states the second;
and the east coast the third wing.
These three wings are composed Of
highly modified units, lombard
ment, pursuit, attack and observa-
ton squadrons which can immed-
lately concentrate in any part of
the country within a few minutes
notice.
Contrary to popular belief, he
says the army is being equipped
with airplanes and equipment far
in advance of most foreign coun-
tries. At present they have bomb
ers at Hamilton Field with a speed
of over $50 miles an hour, carrying
enough bombs to wipe out an entire
city.
When asked about his most har-
rowing experience, he said that even
with present-day methods of blind
flying, fog is still the worst menace
to aviation, and explained how once
after returning from a long night
flight, they returned only to find
themselves lost in fog and landed
after great difficulty.
Bernie's answer as to his opinion
about foreign affairs was: while
foreign affairs at present look very
dark, the United States is main
tanning the efficiency Of its armed
forces at its best, and it is hoped
that there will be no need for armed
conflict for a long time to come"

Highlanders Pleased
with Town Program

So well received was the program
at the recent meeting of the High
lands Improvement club, when a
group of men from town put on a
series of songs, skits and stunts,
that the idea will be repeated, ac-
cording to arrangements now being
made. Specially numbers will be
worked up and presented to various
civic organizations which might ex-
press a desire to hear and see them.
An invitation has been received
from the upriver country to put on
a program up there soon and the
group expects other invitations to
follow.

SHEEP MAN
SAYS OUTLOOK
is BRIGHTER
Finds Excess Experimental
tion Losing Popularity in
the East; Livestock Due to
Stage a Comeback

Sheep men have experienced
their best year in a long time" j.
r. Ayers told members of the
chamber of commerce this noon. He
has Just returned from the east
where he had marketed his product.
Meat prices have taken a favor
able upward turn, he said, and If
the administration can be persuad-
ed to leave the industry alone, they
can work out their own salvations.
Outlook for the livestock industry is
brighter than for several years, in
his opinion and this is especially
true of the cattle business he thinks.
The governments handling of the
wool crop Of the country has. been
a complete failure, he said, and was
the cause of many Of the men in
the industry going broke.
Mr.. Ayers said he interviewed
both businessmen and farmers on
his trip and found but little change
in the opposition Of business to the
new deal policies. He said that he
found an increasing number of
farmers being provided altho still
farmers who were against thearti-
fatalities being provided although
there were still many who were
against the artificialities being pro-
vided, although there were still
many who gave the administration
every credit for such benefits as
have been received. This class, he
said, were principally wheat raisers
who had profitted by the allotment
system.

TUM-A-LUM is
TRANSFERRED
TO POTLATCH
Local Lumber Yard One of
Yakima Valley String to
Come Under New Manage
ment

Announcement will be made
shortly of the purchase of the Yaki-
ma Valley yards of the Tum-A-
Lum lumber company by the Pot
latch company. ALI the yards from
Pasco to Yakima are included in
the transfer and will be taken over
as rapidly as inventories can be set
tied.
The Tum-A-Lum company, with
headquarters in Walla Walla, will
retain the remaining yards Of the
system, most of which are located
in Oregon, according to M. N. Hud-
nall, who states that the company
will still operate the IS or so yards
in that section.
The Potlatch company has its
headquarters in Spokane and is a
part of the Weyerhaeuser system.
They already operate many yards in
eastern Washington and the Yaki-
ma valley string will be added, with
the exception of Mabton, which will
be closed, it is understood.
So far as any information regard
ing the deal is concerned, the pres
emit managers and yard worker will
be retained, Mr.. Hudnall states. He
anticipates better service under
the new arrangement as the parent
company controls not only it's own
mills, but the standing timber as
well, with holdings scattered over a
large part of the country.

Dale Smith Residence Totally
Destroyed by Fire; Even
the Clothes Line Burns;
Will Rebuild
Highlands Correspondent


The fine house of Dale Smiths
was totally destroyed by fire Of an
unknown origin Monday afternoon.
The loss was estimated at $4,000,
partially covered by insurance. The
blaze is believed to have started
from laundry stove in the base
ment.
Mrs. Smith was in town and MIR.
Smith was attending to duties in
his orchard when he saw the house
in flames. AS there was no water
on hand the city fire truck could do
nothing. The only things that were
saved were few articles of furn-
iture on the porch, even the laun-
dry on the line was destroyed. The
house was one of the most beauti-
full in this district. 1t is located on
high knoll on a ten-acre tract
and an excellent view of the sur
rounding country can be had from
it. Mr.. Smith had purchased the
place this spring. He plans to re-
build Immediately.
