County League Play
Opens Here Friday

The Benton county B class bas-
ketball league will swing into action
here this Friday evening when the
White Bluffs Eagles meet the Rich
land squad in the first of eight con-
ference games.
While not much is known of the
strength of the Richland quint, L.
F. Austin, White Bluffs coach,
states that the two teams will prob
ably be evenly matched and that
close battle is in prospect.
In the last of their practice
games, the Eagles scored and easy
SO to II victory over the Bickle-
ton squad Saturday night on the
local floor with the second and
third squads seeing action much of
the time.
The game started slowly, the
locals handling the ball very poor
ly and missing most of their tries
at the basket, while their defense
held the Bickleton squad to very
few chances for field goals.
During the second half, the
Eagles began to snap out of their
slump, and showed promise of be-
ing a smoothly working team with
added experience. Bill Meek was
high point man of the game with
IL points and Jack Gilhuly was
second with 10 points.

Improvement Started

st. = .
e WORK was started the (. first Of
this week on improvements to the
highway grade between Vernita and
Priest Rapids by a WPA crew as
O. part of a countrywide road pro-
iect
Starting on Monday, the county
grader has already widened the
grade so that cars may pass at
almost any place, and within the
next few days the road is expected
to be in fair condition along the
hill.
A new crossing at the upper end

at point several hundred feet
down river, the road to be re-
aligned in order to cut out a dam
gerous slide.
The crew will also improve the
road in Yakima county from the
foot of the grade to Priest Rapids.
While the work is expected to last
most of the winter, the major por-
ton of the construction will be
finished within the next few weeks.

Extensive improvement work to
the properties of the Priest Rapids
irrigation district should get under
way soon after the first of the year,
officials of the district predicted
today on receipt of word from Con-
gresham Knute Hill and Senator
Louis B. Schwellenbach that Presi-
dent Roosevelt had just signed the
districts application for WPA funds.
The application, calling for total
expenditures of $42,7OO, was sub
mitted to the state WPA office carry
in November and forwarded from
there almost Immediately to Wash
ington, DC, here it has been re-
viewed by the WPA, army engin-
GERS corps and the bureau of the
budget, receiving final approval by
President Roosevelt today.
The major portion of the project,
on which work will be started as
soon as possible, includes improve
ments to the power canal at Priest
Rapids to make possible the gen.
GRAFTON of surplus power during the
winter months, as we'll as increased
power during the flood stage of the
river.

Extra Service During
Rush Week Is Planned

In line with the policy of other
offices throughout the state, the
White Bluffs postoffice will be open
this Saturday afternoon, in order
to accommodate patrons who wish to
get their Christmas mailing done
before the big rush next week,
Postmaster j. E. Leander states.
To facilitate the handling of
mail, and to insure it's arrival at
it's destination, packages should be
carefully wrapped, tied and adj
dressed, Mr. Leander points out.
Mail for foreign countries should
also have sufficient additional
postage.
Christmas seals should always be
placed on the back of envelopes,
never on the address side, he adds.
E. j. O'Larey, rural carrier. is at
tempting to work out plans to. have
two cars on the route next week,
one on the White Bluffs and the
other on the Hartford route, thus
getting the mail back to the office
in plenty of time for the outgo-
ing mail. If this is done, it will
be necessary for patrons on the
route to get their outgoing mail
ready an hour or two earlier than
usual.

Milwaukee To Cut
Valley Train Service

Regular train service in the
Priest Rapids valley may be elm
mated this winter, r. R. Woods,
NIilauwkee agent, said this week
Traffic officials of the railroad, he
states, have considered the >possi-
bility of cancelling the regular
schedule and running the train
here only when needed, in which
case notice would have to be given
a day or two in advance.
Mr.. Woods states that he has
urged the company to maintain
q one day-a-Week schedule, and
that there is a possibility this will
be done,
The company's decision will be
made in the next few days, it is
expected.

$42,700 Project For Power
Canal Improvement And
Other Work Approved Today


used in excavating about $4,000 Gu
bic yards of rock from the upper
end of the canal, raising the wing
dam in the river at the intake Of
the canal, and repairing the washed
out portion of the dixie at the mid
point of the canal.
The excavation work will deepen
the canal by about three feet, thus
providing abundant head of water
for generation of power during the
low water stage, at which the plant
must be closed down under present
conditions. Raising the wing dam
by three feet will also increase the
head in the canal to some extent
and will prevent the river bottom
washing out at the intake of the
canal
BY repairing the dixie where it
has washed out near the old head
gates, it is hoped to maintain SUI
ficient head during the flood stage
of the river to produce more power
than is needed for the pumping re-
quirements of the district. Under
present conditions, the head drops
off to such an extent during this
period that it is usually necessary
to purchase power for pumping,
I. A WPA camp will be- set up at
Priest Rapids for the project, ap~
| o1>;, fol, -
Yakima county, to be employed.
The work is expected to require
nearly three months for compile
ton
The irrigation district is starting
work at once on the construction
of kitchen and repairs to the
building which will be used for
! dining hall for the camp. Sleeping
quarters are already available. AS
soon as this work is completed,
cutoff dam will be built at the
head of the canal and the canal
drained so that excavation work
can be started as soon as the WPA
crew arrives.
The remaining $4,000 of the ex-
penditures is to be used in improv-
ing and extending the distribution
system of the district, but it is un-
certain whether this work can be
started this winter, in which event
the work will be done next fall.
Of the total of $42,700 to be ex-
pended, $31 ,428 is to be supplied by
the WPA in labor and supplies,
while the district will contribute
Sill, 272 in supplies and equipment.

'permsnen cure for unemployment
The permanent cure" he said. Lies
in finding suitable jobs in industry and
agriculture for all willing workers.
That is q long and dificult
problem to find the answer to and 1t
may take many efforts in the coming
years to find the right answer. But
in the meantime we need more facts. -
Although only those unemployed or
partially employed are to return the
census cards, which will be distrib-
uted tomorrow by 10000 postmen to
very home in the United States, the
President said:
Il appeal to all OF you who are
employed today to enlist as good
nelghbors to those who are unem-
ployed in your communities and who
may need help in filling out their
cards properly and promptly" he
said.
The mechanics Of the census. worked
out by John D. Biggers. Toledo ,Ohio,
business man, provide for distribution
OF $4,000, 900 cards asking IA ques-
tions.
The cards are to be returned, postage
free, by Saturday. When their answers
have been compiled the Government
expects to know, besides the number
OF unemployed: Their ages, where
they live and what sort Of work they
are qualified to do.
The President indicated he consid-
cred this last topic of great inn
