Helmuth, German trade expert
touched off new explosives.
These talks leo to reports that
the British and German officials
discussed a five billion dollar loan
to Germany in return for a meas
ure of disarmament in general Eu-
ropean appeasement.
Furore Created
There are already discussions in
London newspapers that diplomatic
circles have it there is a POSSIBLE
ity of HUDSON resigning because of
the furore created over the meet
ing, but Hudson made general
denial of any such move.
That Trouble in Ireland
Home Secretary Sir Samuel
Hoare meanwhile told the House
of Commons that the British Gov
eminent has reliable information
that Terrorist activities of the out
lawed Irish Republican Army ARE
being actively stimulated by for
eign organizations"
Sir Samuel did not mention the
organizations by name.
Far Eastern Stand
Great Britain's stand in the Far
East is disclosed in an agreement
reached at preliminary talks in
Tokyo between the British and
Japanese representatives following
a meeting of the japanese five
council chiefs. These talks were
brought to a head by the blockade
on the Tientsin British and French
Concessions.
In London. both the House of
Commons and House of Lords we're
given statements regarding the
British Japanese agreement.
That German Loan
C4lamberlains statement on the
reported loan to Germany brought
out an emphatic denial that over
lures have been made or would be
made for any such plan.
While British government de-
malls of overtures 10 Germany were
being issued, Prime Minister Cham
berlain was attacked for definitely
closing the door on appeasement by
taking Winston Churchill into his
government. The attack was made
by the liberal opposition leader, Sir
Archibald Sinclair in a speech at
Edinburgh. Sir Archibald said that
Chamberlain was betraying the
confidence Of kis government. The
liberal leader also demanded that
Chamberlain give Parliament a
full account of the negotiations in
Moscow for military alliance Sir
Archibald urged that the govern
ment do everything in its power to
bring the Moscow dealings to an
early conclusion.
French Denials
Meanwhile in Paris, French au-
thorities denied any knowledge of
any such new loan for peace eff
fort. One French spokesman brand
ed the rumors as Nazi plot to
create suspicion among the foes
Of the Rome Berlin axis. The ru-
mors that awakened diplomatic
echoes in Washington said that
France and England had coordin-
ated series of concessions to offer
to the totalitarian powers in return
for a pledge OF peace. The conces-
sions would give Hitler Danzig and
a slice of the Polish Corridor and
would grant Mussolini representa-
ton on the French railway to Ad-
dis Ababa and on the Suez Canal
directorate.

Marketing Plans
Removal of Gull Compe.
tition Helps Maintain
Markets

Local dealers are cooperating with
the potato growers committee 100
percent, according to a report made
this noon by Ted Watkins to the
chamber of commerce. The only dif-
ficulty now being experienced, he
said, was from the few growers who
have refused to join in the effort
to protect the markets.
The plan of dying the culls is
working out in good shape, Mr.. Wat
kins said, and all that are sold for
stock feed are being thus treated.
The dye is harmless to stock, but
would make the potatoes unsaleable
on the food markets.
But one or two blockade runners
have so far attempted to elude the
committee, they reported. One load
was stopped because culls were In
sacks marked No. /. Another load
was dumped along the highway
Shippers report cooperation from
the buyers in the city markets, too
and as consequence. are able To
maintain the price in competition
with the spuds from California.

Park Gets Name

Kennewick's very nice little park
has gone too long without q name.
Now that the Kiwanis club Is anx-
-ious to complete the new stone en-
trance, the need for name Is felt
more than ever. The idea Of hold
ing a public contest to select name
has been considered. but due to lack
of time it was abandoned, and mas
much as two members Of the local
park board are out Of town, the re-
manning member (duly prompted)
has determined to supply a name.
OF course the name is subject to
change without notice, but In the
meantime, for local publicity pur-
poses the name has been selected.
Appropriately an Indian name
was chosen. "A nice, easily spelled,
easily pronounced, easily under
stood name which has all the ear
marks of being the proper one. So
until convinced to the contrary, the
name of Kennewick's municipal

Pioneer Tells About Kennewick
As.It Was.Fifty-Five Years AGO

who also had the post office. The
railroad equipment included coal
bunkers, water tank. stock yards,
depot, turutable, etc.
Fifty-five years ago even the
railroad bridge was not constructed,
Mrs. Sonderman remembers. The
trains, four passengers and several
freight trains day were ferried
across the river on the old Freder-
lex K. .sillings under the command
Of Capt. w. II. Gray.
The Billings was continued In use
until the completion OF the railroad
bridge in 1889.
Remains OF the old piers are still
to be seen during low water in the
Columbia, located between the high
way bridge and the railroad bridge.
The railroad at that time was To-
Gated comewhat north Of the pres
ent right Of way which curves to app
proach the bridge.
Kennewick's first school house was
located, Mrs. Sonderman remem-
bers, between the coal bunkers and
the stock yards, and Mrs. Mary
Haak was the first teacher. She
was paid $40 per month for teach
ing the early-day Kennewick young
sters. The first school building was
eventually destroyed by fire and
school was then held in one of the
town buildings and later in pri-
vate home.
Finally another scnool. one room,
OF typical western "box frame" con-
struction, was built about opposite
the present location OF the Paulsen
cafe on the highway This served
until the Yakima Irrigation a. I'M
provement Co. built the $4,000
building farther west In what Is
now known as the Garden Tracts.
This was erected in 1894 and served
as a house OF knowledge for the
Kennewick youth until the Wash
ington school was built.
Many, many more interesting
"reminiscences of the early day can
be related by both Mr.. and Mrs.
Sonderman and an afternoon with
them recalling ald-time incidents is
a revelation TO moderns.
Among the early day residents
of this section as recalled by the
Sondernans We're the following
names. some OF whom still have
descendants living in the district:
Mike Semitic, A. p. Gray, John
Black, Tom Ireland, Fred Knowlton,
G. J. Beach, A. r. Leeper, c. p.
Aune, Gus Pearson, George Hunter
and G. z. Lum.
This interview Is short des-
cription OF what is now Kennewick
as it was fifty-five years ago. Next
week we will have another article
recalling the days In this vicinity
as recounted and related by Edwin
Layton. who came to Kennewick the
year Of the big flood--in 1894
Mr.. Layton will tell how he learn
ed to row boat that year inside q
round house-something for Ripley,
sure enough. Many other amusing
incidents and happenings win also
| be mentioned.

Cops Get Their Man"

Kennewick had two extra police
men for a while this afternoon.
Everett Aman and Roy Stafford were
specially deputized by Judge G. F.
Winkenwerder and the newly sworn
in officers got their man"
While the Judge was coming to
town he met a stranger who was
attempting to thumb ride to Pas
co. His erratic gyrations convinced
the Judge that the man had had
much too much strong drink. So
the two citizens in the absence OF
the regular police were ordered to
pick him up.

.Umatilla Dam
Item Replaced
i'm Senate Bill
Project Is Recommended
by Committee After the
House Refusal

Construction OF $23 ZOO, 900 nav
igation dam on the Columbia river
at Umatilla rapids TO permit barge
traffic inland TO Lewiston, Idaho
was recommended Tuesday by the
senate commerce committee, &C
cording to Associated Press reports.
A telegram from Senator Schwellen-
bach to the Kennewick chamber OF
commerce gave the same informal
ton.
Ignoring the refusal OF the house
to approve the project earlier, the
committee included II In the 1910
rivers and harbors authorization
bill. 49,.
The committee held the project
would be Of great benefit In speed
ing development OF the Pacific
Northwest and added that 1t was
perfect" from an engineering
standpoint.
1.-The Umatilla DAM" the COM
mittee report said, will regulate
the flog OF the Columbia river ana
will materially increase the value OF
the generating plant at Bonne-
vile dam, $50 miles west"
The committee recommended that
the Umatilla dam should be con-
structed for navigation only at the
present time, with foundations
and such construction as engineers
find necessary for the ultimate in
stallation Of wheels and generators
for creating electric energy which
will in time be needed in this favor
ed section-the Pacific Northwest"
The house defeated the project
after assertions by foes Of the adj
ministration's public power pro-
gram that the dam was designed
primarily for power generation in
competition with private enterprise.

paper!" .-.------ $3.50. -s-s---.
Such was the statement made
today by Karl Lehman. of Taxares,
Fla, publicity chairman for XII
wants International, to convention
delegates. He explained that the
value Of Kiwanis news Is to educate
community in the service organ
nations civic and welfare programs.
"The newspaper" he said, "re-
fleets all community life, religious.
educational and civic. Therefore
the average citizen Is indebted to
his newspaper which constantly
brings to him the news Of local,
state, national and international af-
fairs.
Free Space
every civic, religious and educa-
tional group in a city is in the habit
of coming to the newspaper pub
Usher, asking him to give away free
the one commodity he has for sale.
This Is space! We would ask Of no
other form of business in our COM
munity to give away free that which
gives livelihood. We. would not go
into a bakery. and ask the baker
to give us a loaf of his bread, Yet
the newspaper owner is asked to
give away the space he has to sell;
perhaps not realizing that this COM
modify, like any other merchandise,
costs money to produce" he said.
Kiwanis does not need to sell it
self to its own members nor does It
need to seek publicity to glorify its
work, Mr.. Lehman estimated. XII

cational.
