GYPPED AGAIN
ON N. B. ROAD
Prosser Delegation Gets An
Amendment Changing the
Route to Pass That Town;
Bill i'm Last-Day Jangle

Kennewick got ''gyped" again on
the North Bank road, In the opinion
OF many OF the members OF the
chamber of commerce who listened
to q report from the road commit
tee this noon.
Kennewick and Pasco have been
working for the past few years in an
attempt to have the North Bank
highway completed up the river TO
this point to form an all-year east
west highway. The road is now con-
structed as far as Maryhill, where
IL was diverted over Status Pass to
Toppenish. Lately efforts have
been redoubled to complete the road
to Kennewick.
A bill creating this possibility was
introduced into the house and an
other in the senate In the present
legislature. The house bill got lost
in the shuttle, but Senator Stinson
managed to get his bill out OF the
senate. When his bill reached the
house, however, the Prosser delega-
ton, headed by Representative Fred
Kemp and assisted by Representa-
tive Christian Aalvik, attached an
amendment to the bill whereby IL
was routed from Maryhin to Pater-
son, thence to Prosser.
A telephone communication with
Kemp indicated that he had made
the change knowingly and would
not recede from his stand. Aalvik,
when questioned regarding his
stand, indicated that he would do
whatever Kemp told him to in the
matter.
Senator Stinson, when appealed
to stated that he would make q
fight to have the amendment omit
ted when the bill came back TO the
senate, but was not too hopeful OF
being able to make IL stick.
Local road enthusiasts, while de-
ploring the fact that the route did
not get by as originally planned, are
hopeful that In its present form IL
will be possible to have the road
from Vancouver completed into
Benton county at least, during the
next biennium. Once the road has
reached that point. It is thought that
It will not be too difficult to have
the routing changed to this point
In the interests OF the larger num-
Der of travellers which 1t would &C
comodate.
Inasmuch as this is the last day
Of the session, the chances OF hav-
ing changes made during this term
are exceedingly remote, but II the
North Bank can be completed even
to Paterson, club members feel that
efforts already spent on the project
have been well worth the time and
money.

RAW SUGARTAX
TO BE HELP TO
BEET RAISERS
New Federal Levy Will In
crease Returns to Valley
Growers; Paintings Are In
z creasing

On March 2, 1897 a Bill, which has
administration approval, was intro
duced in Congress by Senator o.
Mahomey of Wyoming and Senator
Adams of Colorado. This Bill will
place tax on sugar Of .70c one
hundred pounds raw value.
The department of agriculture
has announced that benefit pay
ments to the farmer, equivalent to
the amount of tax collect from SUI
gar produced on his farm, will be
made. Payments will be based on
sugar produced and the benefit pay
ments that the Washington farmer
will receive on his 1887 beet crop
will be from $500 to $235 per ton,
definitely assuring the grower 500
or more per ton for beets.
The Bill, as introduced, becomes
effective and tax will be collected
on June 80, 1897. The National Beet
Growers association is making every
effort to have the total amount Of
tax collected by the government on
the 1886 sugar, returned to the far
mer.
The beet contract that the COM
pany has with it's growers is built
on basis of an equal division of pro-
fits, when sugar is selling at $3.75
net and from $3.75 net up, the far
mer receives 1870 of the gain and
the company $50.
The value of the sugar beet crop
is now recognized by the govern.
ment and this new legislation is de-
signed to insure the farmer profit
able returns and allow the industry
to expand. The Utah-Idaho Sugar
Company is going to extend help
and encouragement to its beet grow
ers in the Yakima Valley to enter
into a livestock feeding program.
The by-products of the sugar In
dustry which are: pulp, molasses
and beet tops, makes it possible for
its growers to feed the hay and
grain produced and through this
program build up and maintain the
fertility of the soil from year to
year.
The above statement is made by
r. L. Howard, State Manager. Utah

COUNCIL FIRE
TO CELEBRATE
ANNIVERSARY
Young Girls Organization to
Feature Silver Jubilee of
Order by Holding Special
Services

The Pasco, Hover and Kennewick
Camp Fire Girls are holding q
Silver Jubilee Council Fire In keep
ing with the 25th Birthday annivers-
airy of the organization in the new
high school gymnasium this Satur-
day evening at 7:30 to which the
public is cordially invited.
Although the birthday OF Camp
Fire is officially the 18th Of March
1912, the idea had been taking
shape for a long time before that
When w. G. Langdon Of the Russell
Sage Foundation was directing Q
historical pageant in Thetford, ver-
mont, he found that while the boys
who were working with him were
organized as Boy Scouts, the girls
had no organization of their own
and very much wanted one. BY con-
sulting with scout leaders and edu-
cational instructors an executive
committee was formed. DR.. and
Mrs. Luther Halsey Gulick Of Rus
sell Sage Foundation held a sum-
mer camp where they worked out q
scheme of "Honors" which later de-
veloped into the Camp Fire pro-
gram. They were also responsible
for the ideals, ritual, and the use OF
symbolism. BY the fall Of 1911 there
were Camp Fire Girls organized In
many parts Of the United States. Al
an executive meeting in late Octo-
Der DR.. Gulick was elected as presi-
dent OF the Camp Fire Girls and in
the following March, 1912. the move
ment was Incorporated as a Nation
al Association. At the present time
there are more than twelve foreign
countries who have organized Camp
Fire groups, besides the millions OF
organized groups in the United
States.
During the past year the pro-
gram has been modernised with
new manuals being published and .
new rank added, that Of Trail Seek
ers which is now the first rank,
making q total Of four.
There are now three Organised
groups in Kennewick with q fourth
one being organized this week, and
one Bluebird group. Girls from each
OF these groups win have their
charters, and various pieces OF hand
work on display in the Courier-Re-
porter window in keeping with their
birthday celebration.

WORK STARTED

WE'LL FOR OIL
Contract Let For Additional
Well in New Location;
Drillers Confident of Find
ing Oil Pool Soon

Increased activity in the Benton
county gas fields is indicated by a
contract which was let this week
for an additional test well.
Because Of the water supply be-
ing frozen for the past couple Of
months, work on the deep test well
has not been continued. James
Mann, foreman in charge states
The water thawed out this week
sufficiently to permit reopening. the
job and further work will be con-
tinued on that project.
The test well has reached depth
Of 2485 feet. with q Z S 8-inch hole
The first work, Mr.. Mann states
win be q roaming job to increase the
bore to eight inches. This will per-
NIT q deeper hole before the small
er casing is put in. Three strata
Of oil-bearing shale were encounter
ed in the present hole, Mr.. Mann
stated, one Of which gave indica-
lions Of being q commercial pro-
Queer.
Because Of the desire to study the
lower stratas, these oil showings
were cased off and the bit was sunk
through. Naturally we who are in
close touch With the work up there
are confident" Mr.. Mann stated
that we will soon be into the real
oil pool. My personal opinion Is
that we will make q strike before
we hit the 3000-foot level. From the
showings we now have, we are sure
that we will not have to go much
deeper to get what we are looking
for"
Work on the new well will be
started as soon as the geologist
comes to point out the spot for the
drill. The company is also consid-
ering a location on the south side
of the Rattlesnake hill and on the
south side Of the Snipes mountain
the ridge Just west Of Sunnyside
Both.are on the same structure. Mr.
