C.. OF C.. HEARS
PROGRESS ON
NEW Pc. PLANS
Special Committee Gets En-
d0rsement of Organizations
for Federal Building; to
Seek Survey from Dept.

Practically all of the local or
CARNATIONS have endorsed the plan
sponsored by the chamber of COM
merce Of attempting to secure a
federal post office building. The
special committee appointed two
weeks ago reports progress on the
matter in the form of replies from
the congressional delegation at
Washington.
One Of the senators reported
that while there was no money
available at the present time for
new building purposes, there is a
possibility Of having the project
surveyed. The committee has been
instructed to ask for such SUR
vey, confident that when the needs
are fully explained to the depart
ment that this location will receive
favorable attention.
Other smaller cities of the state
which have received federal ap-
preparations of the sort report that
it is a long drawn out affair,
often matter Of ten years, before
the appropriation goes thru. Under
the present conditions, it is hoped
that this wait can be cut down
considerably, and the committee is
planning to wage an active cam
paign.

ONLY 2 VOTES
CAST AGAINST
BOND ISSUE
Landowners Give Almost I'm
animous Sanction to Re-
Funding Measure; Will Cut
Annual Rates Materially

In spite of the cold weather last
Saturday, large number of prop
erty owners went to the polls to
cast their ballots affirming the
proposed refunding bond issue for
the Columbia Irrigation district.
Three hundred seventy-seven votes
were cast with but two in OPPOSE
tion to the proposal.
The election was the last formal
act necessary before the issuance
of the $780,, 900 bonds to guarantee
loan from RFC. The funds will
be used to retire more than half a
million in outstanding bonded in
debtedness and accrued interest.
The effect will be to so lower the
annual rate as to permit nearly a
fifty percent cut in the charges.
The repayment will be amortized
over a period Of 33 years.

GRASS COURSE
NPROSPECT
FOR GOLFERS
Seventy Acres Just West of
Town on Highway Under
Consideration for Improve
ment; Pasco to Join

Prospect of having the seventy
acres just west of town along the
highway parked, has appealed to
the members of the chamber of
commerce and they have agreed to
lend their moral assistance, at
least, to the efforts of the local
golf enthusiasts in securing the
land for golf course.
The acreage now belongs to the
irrigation district and, while suit
able for golf course, only an ir-
regular portion of it could be
used for farming purposes. The
district has made a lease PROPOSE
ton to the golf club which would
contract for an annual water rent
al from the district.
j. Il. Siegfried, who has been
active in the matter of investipat-
ing the possibilities of the new To-
cation, was called upon to explain
the proposition to the chemmber of
9fommerce this noon. He said that
ne course could be made into an
tractive addition to the commune

The contest is now just two
weeks old and at the end of n e
second weeks voting Miss Edna
Mechanism was in the lead, while
Miss Wilma Liston was second. The
standings of all contestants at the
end of the first two weeks of the
contest (about one third of the
race) is given in another story on
this page.
It looks like a real race here.
There is a lot of interest. Contest
ants are really beginning to work.
Several contestants are already
building up their reserves to cast
them in the final week of the race.
They are managing their cam
paigns in an efficient manner to
outshine the work of politicians.
These girls really want to make
this marvellous California and old
Mexico trip. They realize it will
be real education to them in adj
dition to being a real voyage of
pleasure. When it is considered
that the winner has her railroad
fare, her berth on the train n d
room in hotel, all meals, all taxi
and all bus fares paid, as well as
tips and entertainment features,
it will be seen that the fortunate
winners will have a trip they can
talk about for years to come. She
travels on a special train, with
every courtesy afforded all MEM
bers of the party and the whole
trip escorted by trained special
railroad representatives, who look
after the comfort of the whole
party. There will be 100 or more
young ladies on the special train.
There will be an observation club
car and lot of conveniences. The
meals will be delightful. In San
Francisco famous italian or
French restaurants or noted hotels
will serve meals to the party. It
will be unique in every sense of the
word. 1T will be a different trip
than has ever been available to a
similar party from this state.

Sometimes Wake
By ANNE CAMPBELL

c OMETIMES 1 wake and tremble U in the dark, Thinking of you. across the miles
 of night. Your lamp of life burns with a
 feeble spark. I do not know when on winged
 flight You will be through with living's
 sweet delight. But this 1 know. when In the dis.
 tant blue, Your soul shines out, a new and
 lovely star, On such night as this my
 thoughts of you Win come and finger near you
 where you are. The light of your pure spirit will
 reach far. Just as 1t finds me now, to lay
 hand Upon my consciousness with you
 apart; Speaking of love while midnight
 angels stand Dark sentinels who. with their woe
 full art Lay bands of black foreboding on
 my heart

THE GOOD OLD DAYS

"THERE was once time when
 | the sun used to shine brighter than it appears to do this latter half of the Nineteenth century; when the zest of life was certainly keen. CT; when tavern wines seemed to be delicious, and tavern dinners the perfection of cookery; when the peruSal of novels was productive of immense delight, and the monthly advent of magazine day was hailed as an exciting holiday;when to know Thompson, who had written q mag azine article, was an honor and a privileges; and to see Brown, the au- thor of the last romance, in the flesh, and actually walking in the park with his umbrella and Mrs. Brown, was an advent remark able, and to the end of life to be perfect ly well rememb cred; when the women of this world were thou. sand times more beautiful than those of the present time; and those of the tn eaters especially so ravishing and angelic that to see them was to set the heart in motion and to see them again was to struggle for half an hour previously at the door of the pit"
 That plalnt about 'the good old days" seemed too delightful not to lift bodily out of the Victorian novel where we found it
 Note the complaint that wines are not what they used to be-the compla int dated a half century or so before Prohibition! And food and novels and women-and the sun! It did not shine so brightly it seems, seventy.five years ago, as in "the good old days" before that!
 Sure enough-the ancient Greeks complained about "the good old days" and also about their prepos terous younger generation So ap. parently our modern existence Is not the only stepchild of the uni. verse

A Weighty Subject

William Howard Taft, former President of the United States, was a man of big proportions, both men, tally and physically. He was also blessed with keen sense Of humor. A Washington newspaper correspon- dent once asked him If he would tell how much he weighed. No, sir" boomed the President. Mir. Reed used to say that no gentleman could weigh more than POO pounds. I have amended that to 300" Mir. Taft actually weighed more than 300 pounds at one time.

Then there Is no sense in raising family until there Is plenty of the right kind of food, and you know we Goldfinches live mostly on seed.

Dear MT. Wynn
 1 met friend of mine today I haven't seen in years He told me his father died on the "scaffold." He didn't seem ashamed to tell me about it, that's what got my goat. Can you account for fellow who will go around and say a thing like that about his fa ther, without blush, ing?
 Sincerely,
 l. D. CLAIRE. Answer: Beca use your friend told you his father died on the "scaf- fold" 1t doesn't necessarily mean he was hanged for murder. He might have been a bricklayer and, if so, probably fell. Dear Mir. Wynn:

 An uncle of mine told me his daughter, who Is seven years of age, has pet "clam" with which she plays. He even tried to make me believe that the clam" would get in bed at night and cuddle dp along side of his daughters neck and sleep. It sounds silly to me. Do you believe 1t?
 Sincerely,
 c. FOOD. Answer: Of course, I believe it. In the first place, the girl Is seven years of age. That means she Is quite small, being small she must have tiny neck. The reason the clam cuddles up by her neck Is very plain. It probably Is a Little Neck Clam"
