HOUSE STANDS

MEASURE
Senate May Call Upon
President to Break
Long Deadlock

The fate of the District ap-
preparation bill rested today upon
the ability of the Senate con.
ferees to stand their ground in
the face Of the rearmed House
managers.
Until yesterday Senator Elmer
Thomas CD of Oklahoma, chair.
man of the Senate conferees, met
every thrust of the House man.
ayers by firmly declaring his in.
tention to refuse to yield to the
House on any of the three major
items in dispute.
Now Awaits Conference
Yesterday, however. when in.
formed of the House action in
instructing its conferees to In.
sist on the House position on
these three propositions. the
Oklahoman did not declare him
self in the usual determined fash.
ion, but instead said:
81 will have nothing to say
until after we meet the House
managers in conference Thurs
day morning."
Whether this was to be taken
as an indication that he is weak
ening as result of yesterdays
House action could not be aScer-
tanned.
In some respects it was a sur
prisingly heavy vote by which
the House yesterday backed up
its conferees in insisting that the
Federal contribution be kept at
the House figure of So, ,7O0,0 in
stead of the $5,700,0O0 voted by
the Senate and recommended by
the President in his budget mes
sage.
District VOiceleSs
However, this 142 to 80 vote
is not so surprising when it is
considered that during the entire
discussion on the, House floor
yesterday not one member came
to the defense of the District nor
called the attention Of the House
to the numerous misrepresentar
tionS Of the facts committed by
the chairman of the House con-
fereeS in asking that the House
instruct its confereeS to further
insist on its original position.
Besides instructing its con-
fereeS on the Federal contribu.
tion issue, the House at the re-
quest of the chairman of the ap-
preparations Subcomm mi t t e 0
ordered the House managers to
refuse to yield to the Senate
amendment appropriating $4,000
to continue the character educa.
tion program and to refuse to
concur in the Senate amendment
striking out the House provision
prohibiting any District Govern
ment employees whose salaries are
$2,400 or more from engaging in
outside work.
May Go to Roosevelt
Should the Senate group hold
firmly to it's position on all three
of these provisions it is expected
that the deadlock can only be
broken through the direct hand
Of President Roosevelt.
Those friendly to the District
are hopeful that such a situation
will be brought about, since the
Chief Executive, both in his budget
message and in a statement since
the bill has been in conference,
has announced himself as favor.

was all she had anticipated and more He
applauded her skill as interior decorator; he
pumped himself down in first one easy chair
and then the other. He bubbled over with
compliments and once he kissed her cheerfully
and impersonally and said: "Class to
this! Exactly like home sweet home" That
was Eddie just a nice, regular, healthy young
man with an excellent job and good prospects;
normal young male person with clean body
and clean mind. And crazy about Mary. as
he insisted upon telling her with almost
monotonous frequency.
He had brought packages from the delica-
lessen. Sliced baked ham, bologna sausage,
sweet gherkins. potato salad, picked lambs
tongues, bottles of cold beer, bread already
sliced. triangles of cheese in silver wrappings.
two bottles of tomato juice: too much for
any one meal or for any two persons, but it
was fun; fun to fix it and fun to eat it together.
They laughed and had grand time and de-
clared their independence of public. imper-
sonal restaurants. And then Eddie stretched
out in chair and she sat opposite. and they
smoked innumerable cigarettes and talked
and finally he looked at his watch and it was
ten-thirty. That was very funny. of course,
because ordinarily when they had done that
much of an evening it was one o'clock, or two,
or later. They considered this very amusing,
and when he went home at midnight. he
kidded her about getting the sleep she so
much needed and they joked about the
stories that we're told anent the dangers of
young and pretty girl having her own apart
ment. He promised to come back soon
and very often - with more and more deli
catessen, so that they could enjoy sue
cession of these grand cozy evenings. -.
And he did come back frequently. and did
bring tasty food from the little comestibe
shop, and it was sweet and domestic and COM
Portable and Eddie loved it. But Mary became
restless, and because of that she was less
distant when Hank Warren 'phoned and ex-

1t was queer - what such tiny apartment
could mean to so young and pretty girl.
Because really it wasn't very much of place:
a square room with two windows looking
down upon side street which was struggling
valiantly to become swank after having been
slummy for years an infnitesimal kitchenette
with minute gas stove and tiny electric ice-box
and three shelves; two hanging Closets pink
bathroom showed into an inside corner.
That was Mary's apartment. Or rather that
had been the apartment when she had leased
it several days since Now - tonight after
day of arranging and Strengthening and
decorating; of hanging pictures and pulling
and hauling furniture; of tacking lacy paper
on kitchen shelves and placing ten-cent-stor
chinaware in martial array; of unpacking
trunks and suitcases and boxes and of laying
out cigarettes and ash trays and silly little
souvenirs, the place was honey.
And it was hers. Things had happened. An
old maid aunt had moved away from New
York. thus doing away with the further neces-
sity for living with relatives; there had been
an unexpected salary raise; the agent offered
free rental for three months - until October
first Annual rent divided by fifteen instead of
by twelve put the apartment well within her
reach. And here she was. A quick shower now;
the pert little brown and white dress bought
from one of those marvellous places on Four
teenth Street and looking like five times its
cost >. and then Eddie would come. There
was thrill to that: thinking of Eddie here in
her own apartment instead of having to chase
around to cold, formal restaurants with him
seeking seclusion; sitting for interminable
hours in uncomfortable, straight chairs, some
times in place too quiet, more often in a
bedlam of insistent jazz.
Eddie arrived at six-thirty His enthusiasm

tended his usual invitation of Lets go places.
Mary What do you say?"
Of course Eddie couldn't afford to 90 to
places that Hank could. Hank had a car
which he drove recklessly, he liked to drink
and dance, and he loved the smoky atmosphere
of stuffy. expensive inns. He wasn't light of
foot or wit. as Eddie was . but gee! a girl
couldn't sit at home every night just talking.
Not young, pretty girl who enjoyed life. 1t
would be bad enough if you were married;
but when it was just case of being with

Eddie was kind of silly about the thing

with this sanctuary. Once or twice she in

this cheerfully enough; but always he wanted

Eddie would. He was that kind

the bended-knee stuff. but I'm honest and
reliable" Hank Warren used big words; used
'em slowly. Meant en- too. though no more
than Eddie's words meant the same thing.
Funny thing: You'd have thought Eddie
would be the most fun, but he just liked to sit
and talk. Just with her. Hank wasn't much on
conversation. Ran out of words. Needed
dance music and gaiety and the stimulation,
of roadhouses and dance places IA

BUSINESS MANAGERS

There is considerable wisdom In the words OF
A. S. Hillyer of Sunnyside, candidate for the VA
kima county commissioner office, who says that
'.the time is now at hand when county commls-
sioners should really be termed County Business
Managers" adding that every day OF the week
a commissioner should be attending to county
business, that it is not part-tlme JOB, AND thaC
the county business should come first
Within recent years the work of county COM
missioner has increased MANIFOLD Not so many
wears ago there was comparatively little relief
work for him to attend to, and other phases OF the
county's business were far from being as compll-
Gated as they are today. His principal work was
in maintaining and improving the roads III his
district and usually the roads were few and far
between
The people have demanded that the burden of
work handled by the commissioners be increased,
and it must be realized, both by the people and
the candidates, that the position is no longer
more less honorary one, but one requiring the
entire time and efforts of the officeholder.
incidentally, while residents Of this valley have
no direct interest i'm the commisslonershlp cam
paign in Yakima county, they watching with
interest Mr. Hillyer's candidacy, for he has al
ways been interested in this valley and has done
everything in his power to aid us in our fight to
secure the east west and north highways, so
badly needed here, and has advocated for long
time the Improvement of the road from Sunnyside
to this valley.

Boundary Commission speaks OF his
meeting with David Thompson
about the year 1877, and this IS
his pen portrait:
IA singular looking person OF
ABOUT fifty, he was plainly dressed,
quiet and observant. His figure was
short and compact, and his black
hair was worn long all around and
cut square as if by one stroke OF
the shears, just above the eyebrows.
His complication was of the gard
ener's ruddy brown, while the ex-
preston of deeply furroWed features
was friendly and Intelligent, but his
short cut nose gave him an odd
look.
mo living person possesses a
tithe of his information respecting
the Hudson Bay countries. Never
mind his Bunyan-like face and
cropped hair; he has a very pow
erful mind and a singular faculty
of picture making. He can create a
wilderness and people it with war
ring savages, or climb the rocky
mountains with you in a snoWstorm,
so clearly and palpa'bly that only
shut your eyes and you hear the
crack of the rifle or feel the snow
flakes on your cheeks as he talks"
AS I have indicated in a previous
passage, his last years were troub-
lous ones. He died in Longueun
February 10th, 1857. His wife, a ma
tive Of the North West, whom he
married at Isle la Crosse, on the
Churchill river, died on May 7th OF
the same year.
His body was laid to rest in Mount
Royal Cemetery, where his grave
was unmarked for nearly seventy
years. Finally a beautiful monument
was erected in 1927, and pilgrims
from far and near pay tribute to
the sterling worth Of the man
whose body lies under the sod.
AS we close we think of the words
of Bliss Carman, the Poet Laureate
of Canada:
Here let us stand and say,
Here was a man full sized, whose
fame
Shall never pass away
While the stars shine and rivers run
In the land of Kootena.

DROUGHTS VS.. IRRIGATION
Speaking of contradictions:

Speaking of contradictions:
Each summer for the past four five years,
the newspapers have carried articles concerning
droughts and the accompanying dust storms
throughout the middle west. Each year, when Con
gress was in session, the Fasteners have fought
reclamation as being unsound and waste of
money.
This week, the papers carry the news Of an ap-
preparation Of $25O,O00O0O for the droughtstrick-
en- farmers of the middle west, many of whom have
lost virtually their entire crops and faced
with the necessity Of accepting relief.
Some day, perhaps, lawmakers will realize
the true value of irrigated farming here in the
Northwest They will realize that spending vast
sums for the relief Of farmers who depend upon
rainfall for the success of their crops is but stop
cap method Of farm relief, and that spending a
small portion Of those sums to further the recla-
lation work in the west would be one method
of furthering agricultural prosperity In this ma
ton.
We do not believe that the middle west will soon
be another desert, as prophesylng, but
there is now and will continue to be for a long
time steady migration from that section to the
far west In time, perhaps, our lawmakers will
realize that they should have more fully under
stood the value of reclamation and irrigated
farming.

EARLY DAYS on the
COLUMBIA RIVER
Stray Leaves from Ross COTS Diary
BY REV. JOHN PATE
BY REV. JOHN PATE

DAVID THOMPSON, LAND GEO
GRAPHER AND EXPLORER;
THE FIRST WHITE MAN TO
EXPLORE THE COLUMBIA
FROM SOURCE TO THE SEA.
Linked inseparably with the story
of early days on the Columbia River
is the name of David Thompson,
the great astronomer-explorer, the
first man of the white race to ex-
plore and make permanent record
of this magnificent stream, and also
the first to traverse it's entire length
from source to mouth.
No apology is therefore needed
for turning aside from Ross Coxs
diary for little and cleaning
something of the life of this truly
great and courageous soul.
My acquaintance with the life
and work of the explorer goes back
fully quarter of century when,
as chauffeur of "one-horse demo-
GRAFT" Cor carry-alD I had the priv
ilege of conveying four young peo-
pie every Monday morning from
Lancaster, where my home was, to
Williamstown high school, in Glen
gary county, Canada.
1t was in this quiet village where
Thompson lived for a number Of
years, after his strenuous labors in
this western land, and where six of
his children were born. When driv-
ing past his home lnoW the pro-
perty of Mr.. Farquahar Robertson)
sometimes one of the young people
would say, That's the place where
David Thompson, the traveller, used
to live" and when asked, where
did he travel?" the answer invari-
ably would be tout in the Far West. .
| 1t was in this village also that
Thompson met those reverses OF
fortune that made the last years OF
his life so hard and trying. He set
up his sons in business and in pay
ing off their debts he Impoverished
himself. Sad is the reading which
his biographer, DR.. j. B. Tyrrell
president of the Champlain Society
gives of his closing days. Removing
from Willianstown to Longueuil
(MontreaD he was able to make q
comfortable living until his eyesight
failed him. His position then be-
came pathetic He was so poor thai
he had to sell his instruments ane
even pawn his coat to procure fooe
for himself and family. In one O.
his notebooks he writes, Borrowed
Is Cd from a friend. Thank Coo
for this relief" And in anothe
place he tells of trying to sell tt
a gentleman his maps of Lake SUI
perior and his sketches of the Rock.
Mountains. "He would not purchase
but loaned me $500. A good relief
T. for I had been without penny"
