Now comes an unconfirmed re-
port of the very recent discovery
nearby of a fabulously rich cinabar
mine. 1t is reported to be in the
Horse Heaven mine in Benton
county. Natives profess to have
never heard of such a mine. But
cinabar is the ore from which
mecury is obtained-and mercury is
an important product in time of war
with fabulous prices. We hope the
report is true and that someone
makes a million. But anyway, it
makes a good story and adds an
other to the possibilities for de-
velopmen. in this section. What
other community anywhere in the
west can point to as many potential
sources for growth and develop
ment as can Kennewick. The Pills
bury fl0ar mills, a steel fabrication
plant, an aluminium factory, an air.
plane engine testing field, the de-
velopment of the 10000 acres of
land on the Highlands are few of
the potentialities which come to
mind. The old time prediction
that hereabouts a big city would
eventually rise begins to look like
more of possibility.

Packing the blankets and tackle,
hauling in the docks, cleaning the
boats, boarding up the windows,
goodbyes to vacation until another
summer rolls around. The sun may
still be hot as it blazes down but
its hours are growing shorter. The
sadness of departure is overcome by
the charm of natures alteration in
her seasonal plans for our enjoy
ment. We watched for the shoots
of spring, we gloried in the quick
growths of springs flowers. We
planned for vacations! Now we re-
turn home, we revel in the softness
of autumn's light, the slow change
of green to red, the mellowness OF
fruit, the shifting of lazy clouds,
the haze of the horizon, the smell
of smoke from neighbours bonfires,
the clumps of marigolds and asters
so oolorful and sturdy, the ripe to-
matoes, the lawns bedecked with
fall leaves. So comes September.

One of the most amazing facts
in history. according to Douglas
C. McMurtrie of the Invention Of
Printing Anniversary Committee of
the International Association of
Printing House Craftsmen, is that
less than a century after the in
vention of printing and less than
SO years after Columbus had dis
covered TIE New World, a printer
crossed the Atlantic and set up his
press in Mexico City in 1889. The
printer was Juan Pablos of Seville,
Spain. He was brought over at the
request Of church authorities who
needed printed text books and
catechisms to help evangelize the
native Indians. ]

YOU COULDN'T READ THIS

The 5OOth anniversary of the in
vention of printing by Johann Gut
enberg is being celebrated during
the present year Of 1910, stimulat-
ed by the International Association
of Printing House Craftsmen and
other graphic arts groups.
Printing has become as common
place in our lives as the rising and
setting of the sun, yet it plays a
tremendous role in the lives OF
every one of us.
You are awakened each morning
by an alarm clock which undoubt-
edly has a printed dial. You arise
from bed and dress in clothes that
were undoubtedly bought under the
stimulus of printed advertisements.
Your daily newspaper was made
possible by Gutenberg's invention of
printing. The cereal on your
breakfast table and the brand of
coffee you drink were undoubtedly
bought because of merits attributed
to them in printed advertising. If
you board a train or ride street
car to work, you hand the conduct
or a printed ticket or. transfer. And
it is more than likely that the Sc
lection of the car, if you drive to
work, was determined by the state
ment made in print.
Imagine what chaos there would
be in any office or factory if every
piece of printing used in industry
and commerce were suddenly taken
away. Modern inventions which
we have come to look upon as ne
cessities could never have become
so widely publicized nor so highly
developed, had it not been for the
service of the printing press.
The cost of enjoying these inven-
lions has been constantly lowered
because printed advertising has de-
veloped far-flung markets and
made mass production possible. It
is doubtful whether there would be
typewriters, airplanes,
radios OF motion pictures in the
present advanced state of their
which we know today
had it not been for printing. Every
practical invention has been de-
pendent or printing to further its
adoption and success.
It is thus fitting that during the
current year 1910 we should pay
homage to Gutenberg, the inventor
of printing, the man who gave man
kind its choicest gift. Gutenberg's
has even made it possible
for you to read this EDITORIAL
simple task which few people could
have accomplished before the days
of printing and the rise of popular
education.

PROBLEM

Councilman Desgranges seems to
have the right idea concerning the
operation of the city's business. His
contention is that if there is a law
upon the city's books, enforce it or
remove the law. In this particular
instance, however, we look for con-
siderable opposition to his motion
unless the people can understand
the motives behind both the law
and the enforcement of it.
A year or so ago the city passed
an ordinance prohibiting parking
for a longer period than two hours
upon the main street. Signs were
obtained and installed on the light
poles, but the police officers re-
ported so much opposition that the
council ordered the signs removed.
Along with the order came excess
sive laxity in enforcement.
Again the parking problem Is
becoming acute, in spite of the fact
that the city has since built a free
parking lot only half a block away
from the main street. However,
the main offenders in the all day
parking are the business men and
clerks along the street. If their
cars were parked elsewhere the
problem of the householder or
farmer coming into town would al
most be entirely eliminated.
While the objections before came
from the farmers who took the atti-
tude that the business people were
getting too uppity, now they under
stand that quite the reverse Is true.
The businessmen realize that the
townspeople are the maiu offenders
and the streets should be made con-
venient for those who wish to come
to town to do business.
AT any rate the plan is to be tried
again, and if the farmers particu-
larly, object, then as Councilman
Desgranges suggests, the ordinance
can be repealed and forgotten.
It's worth a try, at least, and since
the construction of the parking lot,
will probably work out to the salts
faction of all concerned.

In an effort to keep the kids who
ride bikes off the main street, the
city council this week passed an
ordinance permitting them to ride
on the sidewalks on the north side
of the street. We wish parents
would call this to the attention
of their children if they have BIZ
cycles. The move is entirely to
remove the danger of accident. Our
streets are narrow and generally
filled with parked cars and added
to the ordinary traffic the bicycles
become too much of a hazard. Tell
the kids to keep on the sidewalks
out of harms way.
