CAMPBELL TO
ENLARGE SOON
Custom Cannery Outgrows
Quarters; to Build on
Front Street

The Kennewick Custom Cannery
has outgrown its present quarters
and next year. will be housed in a
arger establishment. willard Camp
bell proprietor of the cannery which
has been operating on the custom
plan for the past several years this
week made deal with the city for
the purchase of two lots on Front
street, upon which he will erect q
suitable building.
The city came into possession of
the property through a tax foreclos-
ure. The lots are well located and
have high potential value as bus
mess property. The city, however,
has taken the position that with a
guarantee of improvement, the prop
erty will be sold for the charges
against it rather than to hold for
speculative sale.
Mr.. Campbell has agreed to put
up a building of fireproof construc-
ton on his new property and will
be ready to open in his new place
at the beginning Of the next can
ming season.

ONE THIRD OF
RURAL VOTERS
NOT ELIGIBLE
Only Two Local Precincts
Show Full Voting Strength;
Registration Books Close
Saturday Night

Because of the fact that the perm
anent registration law has been in
eject for two years inside the limits
of an incorporated city, King cOun-
ty voters number more than one
third of the entire state. This gives
the hot bed of Northwest radicalism
a tremendous advantage over the
remainder of the state in nominate
ing candidates for the regular cleo
ton.
Less than two thirds of the rural
population of Benton county is now
eligible to vote, according to a check
made with County Auditor Harley
Chapman at Prosser yesterday. In
1894 there were approximately $500
rural voters in Benton county on the
registration books. This year the
total is 1900 at the present time,
with only this week to gather in the
remaining third.
In the precincts in eastern Ben
ton county, only two are anywhere
near complete-Valley and High
lands. In each of these two pre-
cincts there are more registrations
on the books this year than in 1894.
In that year Highlands precinct had
141 voters registered and this year
it has 153 so far. Valley had 148 in
1884 and this year 156.
Hover, Kennewick South, Finley
and the River Road only have about
half the normal numbere registered.
Kennewick South has exactly half
what it had in 1884, when 226 names
were on the books. This year, to
date, 113 are entitled to vote.
Hover has so names as against
107 two years ago, and Finley has
Lib as against 240. River Road reg
istration this year is IS to date and
two years ago, there were 119 regis
tered voters.
Voters in these precincts regis
ter at the printing office.

RELIEF WORK
PROVES COSTLY
ON CITY JOBS
Council to Submit No More
Projects Requiring Relief
Labor; Irrigation System
to be Consolidated

Relief projects for the city have
proven too expensive and no new
projects will be submitted this year
for the government. This was the
attitude taken by the city council
Tuesday evening when the request
from the federal offices was read
calling for the submission of furth-
er public work.
The relief projects undertaken
during the past two years have cost
the city more than they were worth
and more than they could have been
completed for under ordinary cir
cumstances, it was declared. The
drainage project in the Garden
Tracts, already previously under
taken by the city, was completed at
cost far above the estimates at
regular employment rates, it de-
veloped.
Supervision, transportation and
other costs involved in the use Of
relief labor amounted to more than
the direct employment at regular
wages and the council will handle
city improvement work through the
regular channels in future, accord
ing to the plans now being consid-
cred by the mayor and the council.
Among the plans now approved
and under consideration for the
coming year are the enlargement Of
the city hall 20 Accommodate the
jail and fire department, the inn
provement Of the surfacing on Ken
newick Avenue and Washington
streets and the rehabilitation of the
irrigation system. The later project
is to be made city-wide improve
ment district under the supervision
and control of the city employees.

NEED NIB. ROAD
TO COMPLETE
DEVELOPMENT
Editorial in PrOsser Paper
Stresses Importance of Con-
tinuing Evergreen High
way Up River

The proper development OF the
state Of washington requires the
completion of the North Bank OF
Evergreen highway, states a recent
editorial in the Prosser Record-Bul-
letin. Coming out Of Portland early
Sunday morning, the editorial con-
tinues, and driving as far as Hood
River, we passed q constant stream
Of cars. Crossing over to the Wash
ington side we did not pass cal
oftener than about once every four
or five miles. The reason for this
is that traffic going west goes over
the Columbia highway which Is q
through road. The Evergreen high
way is boxed in and only local traf-
fic from the Yakima Valley can use
it to advantage. Naturally this ex-
pensive stretch of highway is little
used. From Vancouver to Maryhill
the North Bank is well developed
and is faster and more scenic than
that on the Oregon side. Since 1t is
on the sunny slope Of the river bank
it is more free from snow in the
winter, In fact, 1t Is the only road
across the state during the winter
and as such has q strong claim for
public support. The completion OF
this road to Kennewick and with
It the construction Of q state road
from Vantage to White Bluffs would
relieve situation which has long
been q serious inconvenience to the
travelling public. We propose to OPP
pose any and all new state highway
construction until this highway re-
ceives the consideration 1t deserves
and is properly developed.
Local good roads boosters take
the above editorial as an expression
on the part Of the western end Of
the county of their cooperation In
securing this most important ex-
tension. AS the Prosser editor in
dicates, the full value Of the road
will never be realized until 1t has
been made q through route. Its
connection with the cross state
highway at this point is one Of the
requirements.
Further endorsement of the road
will be one of the principal objec-
tives of the delegates from this sec
ton at the annual meeting Of the
state Good Roads association early
next month.
