Boyd Nelson, 40, resident of Rich
land, who was struck Tuesday eve
ming by a truck, is not seriously in
jured, it was learned from the hos
pital this evening. It was report
ed yesterday that he had suffered
serious injury, but an examination
today revealed no broken bones and
he is expected to leave the hospital
within a day or so. He was uncon-
scious when taken to the hospital.
Nelson was walking toward Rich
land on the highway just before six
o'clock Tuesday evening, at Avenue
G, when he was struck by a truck
driven by Ray Rose, also of Rich
land. Due to the falling snow and
the fact that Nelson was going In
the same direction on the highway,
Rose failed to see him until too late.
In his effort to avoid striking Mel
son, Rose put his truck into the
ditch. Es-.
The unconscious man was rushed
to the hospital where he was given
treatment.

Advertising Stunt in
Rose City

Kennewick products are to be
featured in a fine big downtown
display window in Portland next
week. The stunt is being conduct
ed by the Columbia Empire Indus

products put up by the Kennewick
canning Co this season, as well as
three or four of the containers of
the frozen products processed at the
Big Y plant. The best known of the
Kennewick products-the Church's
Grape Juice, will have the most
prominence in the display, ar
rangements having been made to
secure quantities of the product
from the company,s Portland ware
house.
Last year q similar display was
made in Portland and the commune
ity received many fine compliments
on the exhibit.

Tells KiWanians of
Scout Movement

More than a million and a half
boys, between the ages of IL and Is
are engaged in scout work in the u.
S., Wayne Smalley told members of
the Kiwanis club Tuesday noon.
The Boy Scout movement is the
largest non-military organization in
the world, Smalley pointed out, and
probably one carrying the most ben
efits to the youth movement.
Wayne Is one of Remembers
three Eagle Scouts and is assistant
scout master for one Of the local
troops. He told of the requirements
from the members of the organiza-
ton, the Scout oath and law. He
told how the organization was Dor
rowed from the British and of how
much good the organization had
done for the youth of the land.
Smalley received many compli-
ments on the splendid talk he made
and created considerable renewal
OF interest among the parents in the
scout movement.

Gao 257 worth of real estate.
Borrowers from the bank reduced
their indebtedness $2,481 ,625 during
the year. debt reduction is whole
some and desirable" President Ehr-
hardt said, "inasmuch as the main
objective of the Farm Credit Admin
istration is to help farmers help
themselves get out Of debt"
The land sales figure covers the
return of 1,156 farms and 1876 parts
of farms to private ownership, with
approximately one-third Of the sales
being made to tenants. Sales were
S2,186,645 greater than the value of
property acquired by the bank dur
ing the year.
While there was some increase in
overdue payments from farmers
during 1889, mainly due to unsatis-
factory prices, changes in the banks
collection procedure, President Ehr-
hardt said, twill eventually have
the effect Of reducing delinquency,
as well as rendering better service to
worthy borrowers and reducing I'LL

with better prices for farm products
substantial Improvement will be

AS of December 81, the land bank
had outstanding loans totaling SOL, :

The land bank, President Ehr-

These bonds are not guaranteed by
the government either as to prin-

Anyway, the paper was hardly in

Columbia District
Shown i'm Excellent
Financial Shape
Report Shows Water Loss
to be 30 Percent of
Total Volume

Copies Of Columbia Irrigation Dis
trict'S Semi-annual report were
made available TO landowners to-
day Thursday and contain much
information OF interest and value
TO its members. In addition TO the
detailed report OF the financial ac-
tiyities as required by the Recon-
explanatory material has been add
ed TO make IL more Understandable
TO persons not as familiar with the
districts ordinary business.
II is interesting TO see in this re-
port that almost $20,000.00 OF the
total operation and maintenance
budget goes for labor, and almost
without exception, goes only to land
owners with the exception OF the
regular employees, many OF whom
are landowners.
Water delivery is reported for the
first time in this pamphlet and in
dlcateS the delivery Of water over
the various parts OF the district as
actually measured over the indi-
yidual weirs serving the individual
farms. Accurate intake volume is
measured'by the Bureau OF Reclaim
alton, but at the time OF this report
their tabulationS were not complet-
ed, so IL is not possible to give the
exact loss in seepage between the
main canal head-gateS and the farm
deliveries but comparison with 1898
flow would indicate that over 80 per
lAf lan ttfns SOS q
river is lost before 1t reaches the
farms.
Finances of the district are in
good shape with ample cash bal
ances on hand In all funds to meet
obligations the directors anticipate
before 1910 toll collections begin.
Percentage Of collections are almost
identical with 1888 and the amount
Of land forecloSed for unpaid ass
essments will be confined to three or
four tracts. During the six-months
period $4,000 of bonds were retired
in advance Of maturity. Also, an ar
rangement has been made with RFC
whereby the Surplus Fund can be
kept with their fiscal agent, the Fed
eral Reserve Bank, and will draw in
terest at the same rate as is paid on
bonds, unless 1t is withdrawn to
meet some emergency. This gives
the district the security OF q good
backlog for emergencies, and at the
same time the money Is drawing in
tsrest equivalent to that being paid
out.
No other interest payments are
made by the district except for bond
interest. all other operations being
on strictly cash basis, with no out
standing warrants.
The Last page OF the report gives
comparison OF the budget adopted
at the beginning of 1899 and the
actual expenditures made in the
different divisions, and this shows
that the total budget was UNDER
spent $4,000. Also given Is the bud
get adopted for the year OF 1910.
The report is prepared by Frank
B. Mason, Engineer, Manager, and
Frank Maupin, secretary, and copies
are available to landowners by call
ing at the district office at 10 Ken
newick Avenue, Kennewick, and dis
trict members are urged to secure
these so that they may be informed
OF their districts affairs.

Start Construction
Soon on Power
Sub-St alton
Housing Problem Serious
for Workers in White
Bluffs Area s

WHITE BLUFFS-Accomodations
are being sought for thirty-four en-
gineers and surveyors under the
leadership of Claude M. Miller, who
are expected to arrive in White
Bluffs on Monday to begin the work
of surveying and making topograph-
ical maps of the projected power
line between the Bonneville sub
station soon to be constructed near
Vernita, about sixteen miles above
White Bluffs, through Hanford to
Pasco. The substation site is al
ready being laid out, and work is
expected to begin as soon as wealth
er permits. The substation will be
located about three-quarters of a
mile from the river, and about half
way between the Milwaukee railroad
and the bluff, where the newly con-
structed power line climbs the hill
to cross to Sunnyside This will bring
it about half mile up river from
the Vernita school house.
The Milwaukee Railroad is al
ready surveying for spur to run
from the Priest Rapids branch line
to the site Of the Substation.
The erection of the suhstation will
be by force contract, and the gov
eminent is contemplating sending
in about twenty-five skilled masons,
machinists and electricians to take
care of the more highly technical
part of the work, but has indicated
that about fifty men will be hired
from White Bluffs and Hanford to
aid in the construction. This will
simplify the housing problem to q
great extent. Nearly all of the
housing necessary for the thirty
four surveyors has been arranged,
but Accommodations are needed for q
few more, and will probably be
needed for the skilled labor sent in
for the building of the substation.
After the corps of surveyors has
finished their work here, its place
will be taken by crew to construct
the towers and string the cables be-
tween Vernita and Pasco. It is an
ticipated now that there will be
crews Of men working in and out
Of here for the next few years, until
all lines are finished and ready to
distribute Juice to other localities.
