Surveys for High
Line Are Already
Being Undertaken
Outlook for Construction
Brighter Now Than
Ever Before

Last Friday q committee repre-
senting the Rennewick Irrigation
District project met with the Col
umbia basin Committee OF the Spo-
kane Chamber OF Commerce at the
Mandarin room in the Davenport
Hotel. The Kennewick delegation
had been invited TO attend the meet
ing TO explain the Kennewick Dis
trict, its purposes and advantages.
approximately thirty business and
professional men from Spokane were
IN attendance at the meeting, at
which time IL was pointed out that
the favorable climate makes Il pos
sible to produce two cash crops an
nually on the farms around Kenne-
Wick. which is something that no
other locality in the state Is able 10
do.
The high quality OF the soil In the
kennewick District was also point
cd out, as an advantage. Due TO
the fact that no storage water will
be needed for the Kennewick Dis
trict, since the return flow TO the
YAKIMA River above Prosser is suf-
ficient to more than amply supply
the three lower projects, Il was
pointed. out that it could easily be
included in the proposed develop
ment.
10000 New Acres
The advantage OF placing 26O00
additional acres in production was
emphasized by the fact that In 1889
the average per acre income In the
kenneWick District was $4,000. with
the additional acreage this would
mean income at that same rate OF
over one and a half million dollars
annually. .a.
Those attending the meeting from
kennewick were Lee s. Boutelle, M
N. Hudnall, Ted Watkins. @. n,
Yedica, 0. F. Stops and Charles L.
Powell. ~ ~ - -
A re-examination Of the project
has been requested by the Board
and the landowners. The original
surveys were made In 1927 and 1929.
On Monday evening the committee.
and other interested parties, met
with Mr.. II. A. Parker, Reclama-
ton Engineer, for the purpose OF
the requested Develop
ment. The matter was discussed i'm
detail with him and he was offered

making the REORGANIZATION as it
IS possible for the parties here TO
give him.
Mr.. j. B. Fink, Director OF Conser-
,ation and Development, and Mr..

Didja Ever Eat
Buffalo Meat?

Most OF our westerners aren't
they're transplanted Fasteners. A
real Westener, probably, would get
no kick out of eating buffalo meat.
but to many of us such a chance
should prove to be a thrill.
The chance is here, for in Nc
Donald's ad this week buffalo meat
is being advertised. Mr.. Kitchener
has a stock on hand and already q
few natives have. tried the delicacy.
Fasteners, too, have had the same
opportunity, but there they really
paid for the privilege, the meat re-
failing for as high as SIPS pound
last holiday season.
The meat comes from the govern
ment reservation in Montana, taken
from calves killed to prevent the
herd becoming too large. The meat
from the buffalo is well favored and
considered by many people better
than the best beef-it is delicious
and in great favor among the most
critical.
Buffalo or Bison for centuries was
the outstanding big game of North
America. The species is believed to
have arrived on this continent from
Asia by the northland route, dur
ing the mid-Pleistocene or inter-
Glacial period.
The Buffalo roamed throughout
the West in great armies some his
torians record bands of countless
thousands moving forward on a
front of twenty-five miles in width
and fifty miles in depth. The In
dams conserved the Buffalo killing
only as required for his own actual
uses. which include food, clothing
and shelter. With the arrival of the
white man with more efficient wea-
pons a disastrous inroad on the
species began. Thousands upon
thousands were slaughtered for the
mere PLEASURE of killing.
In 1875 Buffalo were very plenti-
1885 they were growing
scarce-and by 1890 they were prac-
tically gone. ~ /

breed of Western Montana belongs

venting the extinction of the breed |

ginal nucleus of four calves cap
ured on the plains he laid the foun-
1ation for the present herd on the
