Walnut Grove May
Get New White Way

Walnut Grove-Installation Of
a new white way along main
street in Walnut Grove may soon
be a reality. It was one of the
principal subjects of discussion
at meeting of the Community
club last week.
Putting in white way was
considered by the council last
fall, but was tabled. Sentiment,
however, has been running high
toward new lighting equipment.
A. w. Olson was named to secure
estimates of the cost of new sys-
tenn and will report at the next
meeting of the club.

Penney'sOpen
Store Today
IMPROVED STORE ONE
OF BEST EQUIPPED
IN SYSTEM

Doors of the Penney store in its
new location in the LohrenZ
building opened at 9 a. m. today.
Persons visiting the remodeled
establishment first saw the new
front with its huge display win
dows and modernistic back
grounds. Black and yellow tile
forms the base of the windows.
and a huge black and yellow
Penney sign extends the full
width of the building.
1T is one of the best presented
and best equipped of our 1900
stores now in operation" H. r.
Hammerland, district manager
who has been assisting B. H.
Clark, manager and his staff in
arranging the store, said Tues
day.
He added that the new location
with its additional space will
make it possible for the company
to serve its customers better in
the future and expressed his ap-
probation of the patronage of
buyers in the trade territory who
made the change necessary and
possible.
A large vestibule leads to the
two entrances, one to the mems
supplies side of the store, the
other to the women's furnishings.
The entire ceiling is of tiled Nu-
wood and the color scheme
throughout the store is buff and
cream.
Women'S accessories are dis
played at counters in the front of
the building and a large ready-to-
wear department is located at the
rear of the store Three fitting
rooms have been built along the
south side and an attractive car
pet with a felt base is the floor
covering in the section.
Streamlined displays will make
shopping easier and service fast
er. Center shelving and counters
divide the mems and women's
sections of the place which has
1000 square feet more space than
the old store on Second street.
There is a balcony office at the
back of the store and the base
ment which has been enlarged
and finished will serve as a stock
room. The lines of merchandise
carried in every department are
more complete than before and
the drapery department especial
ly has been enlarged.

This week one of the school kids
fell into the ditch. This Is the first
time we can remember Of such an
occurrence. The youngster in this
case wasn't in any danger, for he
could swim, and he just tumbled in
while trying to rescue ball. But
the incident calls to mind something
which we consider much more SER
ious, regarding the ditch at the
school.
We think that footbridge should
be built across the canal at Everett
street.-the one which ends at the
front door Of the grade school build
ing. The bridge should not be
large enough to permit cars to cross
but one for foot passengers only.
Such a bridge would relieve the
congestion on the crossing the next
street east and greatly reduce the
danger of accident there. If the
city can't handle the situation, per-
haps some civic organization might
be talked into taking it on.

"SdRIEKING ROADS"

That there is something new un-
der the sun insofar as safety in
ventions are concerned is attested
by recent developments Of a Shrek
ing road" by students in the De-
partment of Mines of the University
of Minnesota. They have discov-
cred that certain types Of metals
will, when laid into the paving Of
highways, emit a sort of shrieking
sound when the tires Of an auto
mobile passes over hem. This, they
contend, can be used to warn mo-
florists when they are getting too
far over on the wrong side Of the
road and when approaching dan
gerous curve or railroad crossing.
Among the other things constant
ly being invented to make highways
fool-proof, Kennewick motorists
may soon make the acquaintance of
the "shrieking road" for it is said
that tests show it to be practical
But it still will take something
more than a road that shrieks to
make careful drivers of good many
of them.

Rumors are rife on the street that
the Pillsbury outfit was just fore
stalling competition in their recent
land purchase here. We don't
think so, although we haven't any
more information regarding their
plans than anyone else. We think
that when they get ready, they'll
build-and probably without any
fanfare announcement. Some day
well wake up to see them at It.

We received an anonymous letter
this week. It was well written and
on a subject in which we are inter-
ested. We would have published it
if we'd known the author. In cases
of this kind we can withhold the
authors name, if desired, but we
must know who the writer is, in
every case. Anyone who wants to
discuss a topic of general interest
is invited to write and send in his
views. Well be glad to give circu-
lation on such subjects. Seems like
this spud limitation plan ought to
provoke a discussion. Let's hear
both sides to the question.

It is about time for the voters, the
property owning and taxpaying peo-
pie of the state, to consider a pro-
posal much discussed in recent
years. This is the reapportionment
of the state for legislative purposes.
There is no reason why an initia-
tive measure should not be encour-
aged which will shift entirely the
present method Of selecting men,
bers Of the legislature.
The proposal is in reality an
adoption of the federal system fol
Washington, that is. the election OF
one state senator from each county
and the apportionment of the House
according to population.
Under such a set-up King county
would lose eleven senators, Spokane
and Pierce counties four each
Whatcom county one, Yakima coun.
ty one. ..-...
While Snohomish County has two
senator's, it also includes Islanc
county and the last session of thu
legislature the senator from ont
district came from the latter coun.
ty.
Under the proposed set-up. while
these larger counties would LOST
membership, Benton, Klickitat. Ska
mania, Wahkiakum, Mason, Jeffer'
son, San Juan, Grant, Douglas
Adams, Ferry, Pend d'Oreille. Gar.
field and Columbia would each gair
q representative In the upper house
something they don't have now
fourteen counties have no direct
membership in the senate.

about It in the minds of their

petitors- the mail-order men. Not
since 1929 have the mails been so
heavy with mail order catalogues
and mail-order merchandising Of
fers as at the present time. These
mail order dealers are recognized as
the wisest advertisers on earth, so
II they are doubling and trebling
their advertising activities it Is safe
to believe they see better and big
ger business on ahead. Their act
ivities are deserving Of the atten-
ton of hometown business men,
too, and should serve to notify
them that more business Is awaiting
those who go after 1t, and go
promptly. Mail-order business men
know the power and value Of print
ers ink and right now, with retail
merchandising entering upon what
many predict will become another
boom Is q mighty appropriate time
for local business men to profit by
such wisdom.

In most cases party politics Is no

In most cases party politics IS not
a matter of conviction to principles,
but mostly just pure unauthorized
selfishness. A citizen votes this or
that way because he thinks he will
get along better under that leader
ship.
Whether we agree, by and large,
with the Presidents program there
is one item which he mentioned In
his speech at Bonneville this week
which is of intense interest to every
Kennewick citizen. The president,
speaking of the development on the
river, stated that this area would
gain in population and industry
when power facilities and the river
were developed, etc., and when the
other dams on the river are built
and they will be built"
This indicates that in the not too
distant future the Umatilla dam
will be started. This job will mean
more to Kennewick than either the
Coulee or Bonneville projects. From
that standpoint we're for the Pres
ident in this one thing, at least. We
hope he can get it across.

There's q provision in the state
laws which says that no municipal
ity may levy extra taxes without q
vote Of the people affected. The
limitation is that 40 percent Of the
number voting at the last general
election must vote on levy ques-
ton. .-.g
This is the provision which makes
it so difficult to handle an election
of this sort. More than three nun
dred Kennewick citizens must get
out to vote in order to make it
legal.
The council is not to be blamed
if the proposition fails to carry. It's
nothing more to them than to any
other citizen interesed In the towns
welfare and progress.
If he majority want the improve
ments the council proposes to make,
there must be a definite effort made
by the citizens. If the general rank
and file are Indifferent the whole
thing will fall through. It's not too
wild a guess, either, that some OF
the advantages we now enjoy will
be curtailed before next year has
closed. IL
There should be a representative
vote out Saturday, so the council
may know what the citizens Of the
city wish to have done. It's only
right that there should be gener-
al expression of the people on such
questions. .t......

FALL FLIES

FALL FLIES
The common housefly is a men
ace to health, regardless OF sea-
sons. But it is in the fall months,
many health authorities contend
that the germ-carrying housefly
carts about it's mostly deadly cargo
and to this in a large way Is at
tributable the sharp rise in the
number of typhoid cases recorded
annually during the fall months.
This being the case, Kennewick
citizens should not suspend the
swatting campaign which started
with the first appearance Of the
pests last spring. Keep it UP so
long as there is single fly infest-
ing your premises. You might also
keep in mind the fact that fall weed
cutting as part Of the campaign
against disease also remains an i'm
portant item. There is too much
danger In waiting for Jack Frost to
do the job for you. # you would
protect your health and be rid Of
disease-carrying houseflies you
must get rid Of fly-breeding weeds.
