If member of the credit uni on leaves Greenbel t,
what should he do about his loan?
The first thing to do Is to notify the credit
union, In writing If possible, giving the date
of depar ture and the address, Before leaving
arrangements should be made vi tn the TIRE
to how the loan will be paid off. Terms be
arranged In special cases, or payments can be
cont inued by mail.
Why do not the present monthly dues of the Health
Association cover all medical and surgical and
hospi tai care?
Eventually plan to cover all these risks, but
we cannot attempt this until membership has
become large enough to spread the added risk
broadly and bring the cost figure wi thin reason.
Other cooperative plans wi tn more than five times
our present membership cost two and one-half
times much In monthly dues for complete COW
erage.
Will get two per cent patronage return on the
1899 G.C.S. patronage slips I turn in?
You Will If tho per cent Of the purchases rep
resented by all the 1889 slips turned In does
not exceed 81, 200. If two per cent Of the pur-
chases represented by the slips turned in
ceeds 81, 900 then the 81, 900 authorized to be
distributed will be divided among those who turn
in slips In proportion to their Individual to-
tails. In other words not more than s., 200 Will
be strbuted, and not than two per cent
patronage return Will be paid to any one tndi-
vidual. In effect the members decided that
81, 900 might be distributed, but that it
reasonable to make that this amount should
be spread Wide section Of the patrons.
There way Of knowing how many patrons had
saved their slips, especially considering the
uncertainty Of the value Of the slips, it
seemed desirable to arrive at such compro-
mise arrangement as that adopted.

"I've got better use for my dough;

But Abner wasn't much to blame;
He got his dividends just the same.

Port Plans Made
at Commissioners
Meet This Week
Progress m ade in engin-
eering alterations on
canal; all preparatory
to open river next year

At a meeting of the commission
ers of the Port of Kennewick held
this week, a comprehensive plan has
been formulated for the orderly and
systematic development of that re-
vived transportation facility. This
report comes from the commission
ers, Geo. Turner, Harry A. Linn and
A. I. Smith.
Considerable engineering work
has already been accomplished by
r. S. Stewart, and the physical plan
for the port has been we'll planned.
Since the dredging work at Homily
Rapids will require some time, and
the Cello canal will be closed this
fall for alterations and repairs, it
will probably be early next year be-
fore actual transportation will be in
operation.
Arrangements have been made
by the Port commissioners to have
an organized campaign of contacts
with both transportation companies
and with potential shippers, so that
the port may be developed best to
serve it's potential business.
Interviews have been arranged for
next week with one of the leading
transportation company officials,
and some definite announcements
are expected at that time.

Local Schools Benefit
By State Equalization

Kennewick schools benefit very
substantially from state equaliza-
ton of school support, according to
report of the Washington Educa-
ton Association. For the year end
ed on June 30, the first year that
the new law was in full effect, the
local school system received s42,793
from state basic support, on the
IS cents a pupil day basis, and 81
455 more from state equalization, an
addition of 1914 per cent.
Under the plan in operation, the
state levels local levies Of "taX-poor'
districts up to the statewide average
of Is cents a pupil day, merging this
equalization aid with the basic sup
port appointments.
Per diem of the states distrlbu-
ton last year amounted to 1913 cents
of 23.6 cents appropriated out of the
Is cents due under the "Showalter
law"

New Residences Are
Nearing Completion

Several buildings which have been
under construction recently are
nearing the stage of completion. The
Matthews bungalow apartments on
Columbia. Avenue will soon be
ready for occupancy. There are
four of these 4-room apartments
with adjoining garages. When COM
pleted they will add much 10 the
appearance to the highway en-
trance to our city.
The residence of H. w. White
more on Kennewick avenue is re-
ceiving the finishing touches and
the Howard Beste home on the
same street is being constructed
rapidly.
Another new residence is being
started on Nobb Hill. This will be
a seven-room house and is being
constructed by Herman Campbell.

Tax Assessments
Show Gain Over
Last Years Count
Gain of real and personal
Property taxes is over
$4,000; increase shown
i'm livestock

The following account of real and
personal tax assessments for Ben
ton county appeared in this weeks
issue of the ProSser Record-Bulle-
tin:
Real and personal tax assessments
for Benton county total $4,756, $50
according to a statement released
by Ben Knox, county assessor, this
week. This is a gain of $75980 over
last year. Railroad assessments are
to be added but these are furnished
by the state tax commission in Oct
ober.
The records show an increase in
livestock as follows: horses 100;
yearling cattle, $50; l. and 2-year-
olds, 125 milk COWS 100; hogs 1900.

Report
Shows Financial
Standing of CID
Farmers have good sea-
son; collect ions show in
crease due to land con-
tract payments

'"This has been one OF the best
seasons for the farmers since 1885,"
is the report of Frank Maupin, Sec
rotary of the Columbia Irrigation
district in the seni-annual report
of its activities and finances to Re-
construction Finance Corporation.
This report, issued this week, re-
veals many interesting facts about
the finances of the district which
are definite proof that the district
is on a firm financial footing.
A comparison of collections with
the similar periods of 1888 and
1889 show that collection of tolls
and assessments are almost identical
and are as follows: first half of 1888,
$2Oy540.17; 1899, $40, 299 81 and 1910,
$2O,671.45. However, total collec-
lions have shown a decided increase
due to more payments being made
on land contracts. During the period
of 1888 1889 and the first half Of
1910 the total of these sales con-
tracts has been reduced from $29,-
900 to $4,000, and at the present
rate that payments are being made
on these contracts they will prob
ably be retired in 4 or years. This
will reduce the revenue of the dis
trict several thousand dollars each
year, as most Of the tax-deeded land
has been sold and very little new
land is being decided to the district.
Best showing is in the bonded in
debtedness, of which $500 Of bonds
were retired during the period of
this report, and an additional $1,000
will be retired as soon as instruc-
tions are received from RFC. This
pays almost thru the year 1947, and
further reduces the annual inter-
est payments, which are now less
than $4,000 per year. This payment
would have been $3.50 this year if
bonds had not been paid in adj
vance, and the difference of $3.50 is
direct saving to the district. The
total cash on hand is $40,275.57,
which includes the $4,000 required
reserve deposited with the Federal
Reserve Bank.

Recruit Station May
Be Located Here

Two recruiting officers of Sc
attic visited in Pasco and Kenne-
wick Tuesday making investigation
as to which place would be the most
suitable to establish a station. The
nearest recruiting station is now
located in Walla Walla, but efforts
are being made to have one in this
vicinity.
Lieutenant Hordan OF the Walla
Walla station was a Kennewick
visitor last week discussing plans
with the local American Legion post
members to take care of any enlist
ments which might be made until
a station can be established.
Young men between the ages of
21-35 are eligible, and those Is
years of age with their parents con-
sent, for enlistment in the army.
Any young man wishing to enlist
is asked to get in touch with the
local legion commander, Herman
Campbell for information.

Drowned Man Rumor
False When He Appears

Sheriff A. M. Richter and his
deputy, Harry Cochran, were kept
busy this week trying to find the
body of a man supposedly drowned
in the Columbia Irrigation District
canal just above town. Their advice
came by way of report from Spo-
kane, where men riding the freight
train reported to Spokane authori-
ties that their companion had gone
for a swim in the canal while
freight train was stopped on the
hill west of town, and that he had
not boarded the train. They con-
cluded that he had drowned, and
cached his upper bag and clothes
at Pasco, where they were later
found.
When the case unraveled itself, it
was found that the man, Louis Cas-
XII, transient, had gone swimming
in the canal, and that the train
had pulled out while he was in the
water. He called to his companions
to throw off his clothes, and then
disappeared into the flume above
town. He later appeared at the
CARRIER dairy, where Mr.. CARRIER
outfitted him with some clothes.
