PORT DISTRICT

After a lapse of too many years,
traffic on the Columbia river is
again beginning to be an important
item in the life of the inland coun-
try. At the moment the transpor-
tation of gas and oil to point just
below KenneWick has become big
business and is steadily growing, as
is also the movement of grain down
the river.
Obstacle to extending the traffic
to the Port of KenneWick has been
caused by the shallow water COW
ering Homily Rapids just above Ho-
yer. Now official announcements
indicate that this last difficulty will
be removed before summer is over.
To take advantage Of this situa-
ton to the fullest possible extent is
the public's most pressing business.
Leaders in the community have ar
ranged for revival of the port op-
Grafton by an election of port Oil
rectOrS, called for the tenth of this
month. The extent of the ports
activities will be limited by the Wis
ion, energy and ability of the Off
Gals soon to be elected. These men
should be carefully chosen Tor the
above qualifications that the dis
trict may profit to the fullest pos
sible extent by the ports activities.
Every qualified voter in the port
district should not fail to vote Feb.
10. The future of the community
will be largely in the hands of these
directors.

The Kennewick Rifle club, which
had been almost forgotten due to
its being inactive during the past
year was to reorganize at the Of

The new officers installed for the
Althea Rebekah lodge included: N
g., Ida Moran; v. G., Elva Rich
ards; recording secretary, Mae Ser
combe; financial secretary, Emma
IWeedt and treasurer, Elizabeth
Campbell.
A permanent organization had be-

G. F. Schenk was elected president
and Mrs. L. E. johnson, represent

a special benefit grand library

THE WONDER BEAN

A tribute to the eighth-ranking
crop of the u. S. for its gratifying
results. Scarcely any conversation
of rural nature but that does not
touch on the soy bean. It is wor-
thy of Salutation and the recent
published facts of its earnings for
our growers gives it a well-earned
orchid The soy bean is more in de-
mand than ever, due to the closing
of the Manchurian market. We are
shipping the bean in large quaint
tiles to many foreign countries
now. The figures put the export at
$50 million bushels, and that is a
lot of beans. The price has advance
ed 20 cents over the 1888 prices and
this gives the grower ten million
dollars which is a lot of dollars. The
soy bean is dream plant and is
justly termed miracle beam" It
not only feeds live stock and poul-
try, but goes to make flour, plas-
tics, rubber, paints and so on. It is
found desirable as food and the to-
tai count of its varied uses reaches
260 with more being added from
time to time. The subject of the
soy bean is important to many
readers in Kennewick and it is in
deed topic of far reaching cir
cumstances and surprises. We know
now what they mean when they
say ''use the old beam"

other big battle in China yesterday
in which two hundred Japs and two

Again John merely blinked his eyes
and said nothing. The third day one
of them said, "Well, John, the pa
per says that there was a big bat

A SORE SUBJECT

A SO0E SUBJECI
We have written at various times
of the unfavorable comments passed
to the editor from motorists here
abouts, who complain of the many
unattractive billboards that have
flooded the countryside. We have
stressed the more effective way OF
advertising, through the columns OF
your weekly newspaper. Now we
relate this incident as mild warn
ing to billboard adherents.
During the past Christmas season
club women of Maine used concert
ed action to defeat billboard
movement that was increasing in
the state. Cities carried on a cam
paign through their club women and
urged the powerful agent of buying,
the housewife, to refuse to support
the billboards by not purchasing
the products advertised thereon.
Ladies usually get results!

A local reader of this paper is
skeptical that either party will ever
balance the budget. In his opinion
those who receive bounties from the
government in one form and an
other are not going to permit them
being taken away. On the other
hand the remaining taxpayers are
not going to stand silently and idly
by and permit taxes to be increased.
Without one or the other, or poss-
IDLY both, it is not going to be pos
sible to balance the budget.

The big problem before the Am
erican people today is unemploy-
ment. It is no nearer solved than it
was six years ago. Until a solution
is found for unemployment there
can be no return to normal times.
The burden of maintaining the ten
million unemployed must be shifted
from the government to industry.
Industry is doing all that it can
under present conditions. Govern
ment, instead of harassing and bad
gering industry, should be helpful,
and, if changes and corrections be
needed, they should be made when
norma times return and not when
the country and industry is flat on
its back. One job at a time is
enough to undertake and all that
the man power and intelligence of
the age is capable of solving.

500 YEARS

500 YEARS
Every year brings to our pages
memorable dates and noteworthy
events marked as history. We trust
we meet and deal with them to your
satisfaction. There is one ami
versary to be observed during the
entire year of 1910 so replete with
importance in every day lives, so
packed with significance, so teem-
ing with power, that a year is need
ed to give it attention and an edi-
tor should be gifted with gilded
speech to do justice to it's name. We
commemorate the 500th annivers-
airy of printing in 1910. There will
be recognition of it in schools,
churches, libraries, clubs and pa
pers.
In 1440 John Gutenberg invented
printing from movable type, and in
doing so gave to civilization the
force of knowledge and power of
progress. This anniversary is OBJ
served not for only it's original i'm
portance, but for the consequences
that followed the invention. To
make word live from movable type
was a discovery Of great meaning.
Little did its inventor realize to
what extent he was developing
mankind, replacing ignorance with
learning and providing intelligence
in the place of anticipated beliefs.
History is the important py-product
OF printing, also taste in govern
ment and the influencing of all hui
mainly through imagination. Print
ing is the important agency in your
life and in mine. There will be an
observance in Kennewick because
printing touches every walk of life.
Let us honor its name and not de-
file it through misuse.

Man Seized in Chase

Samuel K. Artz, %, of Baltimore
was booked on a burglary charge
today by Montgomery County (MdJ
police, who captured him Thursday
night after a chase Of several blocks
in the Westgate subdivision near
the District line.
Policemen E. L. Thompson and
G. w. Linthicum fired three shots
during the pursuit. Artz, who was
seized when he slipped and fell, at
first insisted he had been hit by at
least one Of the bullets. An ex-
animation at a nearby home, how
ever, revealed he was suffering only
from bruises.
While cruising in their patrol car,
Mr.. Thompson turned his flashlight
on a front window Of the home of
H. E. Hassler, 308 Baltimore avenue,
and saw q mans shadow. The po-
licemen stopped their car and Mr..
Thompson watched the front of the
house while Mr.. Linthicum guarded
the rear. When he reached the back
yard, he saw a man flee down the
alley. The officers gave chase and
finally overlook him.

by county police during the past
week In connection with burslaries
