Four-year Period Sees Fine
Record of Achievement
for Women Breadwinners
in Minnesota.

Two policies are observed-to avoid
uniformity of designs which would
make relief clients conspicuous, and
to utilize waste materials. AS many
as 16 variations have been made
from one pattern. Scraps are used
to make rag rugs and stuffed toys,
the latter for distribution to children
in hospitals at Christmas time
The sewing projects do not COM
pete with private industry. Nothing
produced goes into open trade chan
nels and there are rigid regulations
against distributing garments except
through the official distributing
agency.

Seniors Present
Mystery Thriller
of Haunted House

If you were poor young girl
and suddenly found yourself In
possession of q lovely country es-
tate, but by the terms of the will
you were obliged to live in 1t con-
stantly for a period OF one year,
you wouldn't hesitate to do 60,
would you? But on the other hand,
if you were told that the house was
haunted by your diseased aunt and
that a phantom tiger appeared at
midnight in order to regain pos
session Of q mysterious collar Of
Jewels which had been stolen from
it's neck years before, what would
you do then?
This IS the situation which con-
fronts Erma Lowrie, portrayed by
Vivian Higley, heroine of the great
mystery thriller. "Tiger House." the
senior play which is being given
this Friday evening in the high
school auditorium at 8 O'Clock.
Just what is behind all these
strange happenings and how Erma
manages to retain possession of her
inheritance go to make as exciting
an evening as one has ever exper-
fenced. The plot is well founded
the situations are BREATH taking and
there is also thread of romance
woven throughout the entertain
ment. Although the mystery ele-
ment dominates, there are no dead
bodies, no shots fired and nothing
really gruesome.

Prospects Bright
For Passage OF
Umatiua Dam Bill
Measure Has Committee
Approval in Lower
House

Prospects that the construction OF
the Umatilla Dam viii be AUTHORITY
ed thtis session are at their bright
est right now, according to infcr-
nation received today from II. q.
West BY the Kennewick chamber OF
commerce. Mr.. West has just re-
turned from six weeks spent at the
capital lobbying for the passage OF
the bill.
The measure has been reported
favorably by the rivers and harbors
committee In the house and has
presidential assurance that II enact
ed will be approved. Much and hard
work has been required, Mr.. West
stated in his communication, and
the delegation from this state and
also from Col. Robins Of the army
engineers has been responsible Tor
the favorable situation.
The bill was to have been dis
cussed on the floor Of the house this
week, but because the chairman OF
the committee. who Is favorable to
the proposition. Is In the hospital,
the bill is being held back. How
ever, if the bin fails to get through
the house, a similar bill Is ready
for introduction in the senate,
where leaders have promised fav-
orable consideration, Mr.. West
states.
I'VE are holding up any action In
the senate" Mr.. West wrote wait
ing results from the house. If the
house includes the bill and acts
favorably then we will only have TO
seek retention of that advantage N
the cenate. In the event, however,
that the house does not take fav-
orable action we will then have 20
muster our forces in the senate,
putting through an amendment
there and that, Of course, will force
the bill into conference"
Secretary Peters Is OF the opin-
ion that the bill viii be passed and
that construction will be begun this
year,

FOrty-FOur Cars
of Asparagus
Move by Railroad
Grass Tonnage Better
than Last Year; Berries
Start to Roll

Forty-four straight carloads OF
asparagus have been shipped from
Kennewick this spring, according 10
figures from the railroads. This Is
the largest amount OF grass to roll
from this point by rail in about ten
years. This figure does not, OF
course, include the shipments made
by truck, nor that being processed
at the local plants. .......
The asparagus has been OF UNI
usually good quality this spring and
the tonnage is average on most
patches, and the price Is normal.
The opening OF the eastern mar
kets has relieved the local situation
and has held the price fairly firm
up to this point.
The local situation on the grass
deal is better than that OF the upper
valley, according TO reports, where
due to diversity OF markets, the
price has dropped TO three cents,
with the bulk OF the crop going TO
the truckers who are supplying the
local markets.
This point was stressed this noon
at the chamber Of commerce lunch
con by Field Manager Alder OF the
Big Y who stated that the truckers
are continually beating down prices
for the farmers produce and due
to over supply on certain markets,
are breaking down other markeYs.
He said that the independent truck
er, buying directly from the farm
er has been the most potent factor
in depressing the markets In re-
cent years. He pointed TO the dras-
tic measures being taken In Louis
lana on the berry markets as an ex-
ample of what growers in the west
might have TO come TO.
MIR. Desgranges said that they
would ship two crates OF berries this
evening, the first commercial ship
ment to go out this year. He said
that by the middle OF next week
berries would be plentiful although
the peak Of the crop would not be
hit until the 18th or 10th. He
said the crop looked TO be a bump
er one and of good quality. He, too.
stressed the danger OF truckers
breaking down this market and
urged the businessmen to bring this
view to the attention OF the growers.
