CITY'S LOT NO
GOOD FOR NEW
Pc. BUILDING
More Land Needed If Depart
ment Decides to Put up Fed
eral Block; Inspector Here
Today

Satisfactory progress is being
made on the effort to secure a new
post office for Kennewick, accord
ing to the expressions made at the
chamber of commerce meeting this
noon.
Letters from the congressional
delegation to the chamber and to
Postmaster Lincoln indicated that
action had been started in WASH
ing toward the securing of the ap-
preparation. Congressman Knute
Hill sent word that he was intro
'ducing bill providing for the ap-
preparation.
Mr.. Lincoln reported entertain
ing post office inspector this
morning regarding the matter. The
QUESTIONABLE recently filled out by
Mr.. lincoln was gone over care
fully by the inspector and he was
taken about the city to view pos
sible locations.
The inspector stated that the To-
cation offered by the city three
years ago when the matter was up
for consideration before was en-
tirely inadequate for The purpose.
He thought a suitable location on
the main street, preferably a cor
rer, with a frontage of about 125
feet would be required.
He went over the records in the
local office regarding mail separa-
tions, division points and the num-
Der of pieces of the several classes
of mail handled, the prospects for
growth Of the community and so
on, and Mr.. Lincoln thinks that
from this standpoint the repor..
will be entirely favorable. The
committee will continue its work
and will seek suitable locations and
will secure information relative to
bids, etc. in the near future.

Leaders in Race All Close;
Candidates Make Squirt as

Are Cast

If there were a five dollar gold
piece available this evening, Miss
Verdella Mueller would be its po-
SCISSOR tomorrow morning, for she
was the winner of the special
award made this week in the Bet
ter Times contest.
Miss Edna Mechanism was run
ner up in this weeks count which
was completed this evening after
the coupons had been collected from
the ten ballot boxes scattered about
town. The great batch of vari-
colored coupons were all sorted as
to names, resorted as to values and
then counted and recounted.
The five dollar special prize was
given on the basis of this weeks
count only, and Miss Mueller scor-
ed high in this, with Miss Mccain
ish second, Miss Alice Altrogge
third and Miss Geneva Broughton
fourth. Some of. the candidates,
slow in the first count, have been
showing wonderful squirt this
past week-and there are indica-
lions that not all the coupons CIV
en- out have been placed in the bal
lot boxes as yet.
Miss Irene Heberlein took fifth
place in the special event this week
with Miss Annie Clark next, fol-
lowed by Miss Wilma Liston, Miss
June Visger and Miss Anna Kuh,
respectively. Other scattering
counts were scored for all cand-
idates in this special event. Miss
June sVisger, ILL for the first two
weeks of the contest, has started
with vengeance and has made a
splendid showing for her first week
of effort. !.
The young ladies, now well
started on their campaigns, all re-
quest their supporters to be sure
to ask for the coupons when MAX
ing purchases and then they be no
titled in time to collect them, if
they have not been dropped into
the ballot boxes. Remember, the
coupons cost nothing and the par
ticipating merchants will be glad
to hand them out with all purch-
ases.

that she had interviewed the Pros

limited by the federal rules in Civ

PROSSER CLUB
BITTER TOWARD
COUNTY RELIEF
Local VERA Setup Under At
tack by C. of c.; Investiga-
tion Committee Appointed;
Club Will Aid DriIIink Co.

Prosser Commercial club mem
bers Tuesday opened bitter at
tack on the relief program in Ben
ton county, says an item in yester-
days Yakima paper.
Branding the setup in the coun-
ty as rotten and asserting that
transients were well provided for
while local residents were unable
to get grocery orders or employ
-nent, members urged the club to
investigate VERA activities here.
Fry Leads Attack
E. w. Fry led the attack by as
sorting that he had heard of cases
where persons who had paid taxes
and now We're in dire need were
unable to get employment an d
others who used relief money to
pay water bills and other back bills
were cut off from further aid.
81 think it is rotten" he said.
Louis Ryno came to his aid.
"In the relief setup our good
people who have paid taxes and
cared for themselves in the past
and now are in need are not fed
or given employment, and a bunch
of highbinders who came here a
short time ago in an old car and
parked somewhere are given big
grocery ORDERS" Ryno asserted.
Salary Resented
Resentment against the reported
salary of S185 a month paid the SUI
pervisor was voiced. Club men,
oers said that throughout the coun-
ty residents were bitter against the
relief program. Fry, Ryno and R.
E. Gay were named on the groups
investigating committee.
Gay asked the club to assist
company which was said to be
ready to start drilling for gas in
The Horse Heaven hills near Pros
ser. The company, which is drill
ing in Grant county, is ready to
start operations in Benton county
providing it can get adequate
leases, he said, adding that some
property owners were against Civ
ng leases.
