Local Men Push
Early Construction
of High Line Unit
Project all set to GO
every preliminary COM
pleted, even to passing
pioneer stage

The special committee working
for the Kennewick High Line pro-
ject has been active during the past
several weeks. Meetings with sever
al nearby communities have been
held, where the situation has been
explained in detail. The most re-
cent meeting was held Saturday at
Walla Walla, where the local rep
reSentatiyes met with a special COM
mittee from the Walla Walla cham
Der Of commerce.
Illustrating his explanation with
a large map OF Benton County, At
torney G. l.. Powell, as spokesman
for the committee. showed the Wal
la Walla men the location OF the
"a, 900 acres OF class ! and 2 lands
included in the district. He called
attention TO the fact that IL was the
only irrigation project in the United
States today which was all set TO
60, where the surveys had already
been completed, where the water
was going to waste in more than
sufficient quantities, where cheap
power was available in a district
which had already secured the APP
proval Of the reclamation bureau.
He also pointed out that the pion-
eering had all been done, where
roads, schools, churches, public util-
tiles were all in operation; rail-
roads, highways, river transporta-
ton and marketing facilities now in
operation and now seeking addi-
tional loads.
The Walla Walla men were as
founded at the completeness OF the
project and gave their unqualified
approval and endorsement Of the ef-
forts being made to speed the COM
mencement Of the project.
The committee plans to get In
contact with superintendent Banks,
who is in charge Of the works at
Coulee this coming week. II Mr..
Banks OK can be secured, the
committee feels that immediate ac-
ton may be secured on the actual
construction Of the project.
Under present conditions, settle
ment problems offer no difficulties
for the KennewicK project, Mana
ger E. j. Brand, pointed out to the
meeting. Indeed, the statement has
been made by the department that
the entire era Of the Coulee project
could be settled Immediately were
1t possible to get water to the mil
lion-odd acres included in the pro-
ject. The settlement OF the $4,000
acres in the Kennewick unit would
offer no real problem once con-
struction were certain. Mr.. Brand
stated that the work. had already
progressed to the stage that the
ditch could be started at once and
the project ready for water within
a year If immediate sanction could
be obtained.
In addition to Mr. Powell and Mr..
Brand, Bob Brown and r. z. Reed
attended the Walla Walla meeting
Saturday.

Turks Apprehensive

Ankara, Turkey-Military activity
was speeded up throughout Turkey
as an aftermath of the Hitler-Mus-
solini meeting. Whether or not
Rumania is forced to join the Rome
Berlin axis in self defense, it is be-
lieved that Turkey will maintain her
Anglo-French alliance at any cost.
II Russia supports her German ally
actively, the Near East may be the
scene of fighting even before the
long heralded Spring push on the
Western Front. The French have a
large concentration of troops in the
East, recently reinforced by the ar
rival Of Australian forces in Egypt,
and both powers threaten the loss
Of costly Ethiopia to Italy if II Duce
finally casts his lot with Hitler.

Lutheran Church Is
Nearing Completion

Beginning next Sunday the Faith
Lutheran church congregation will
worship in its new sanctuary, located
on what is known as the Overom
corner, in the town of Birch Creek.
This congregation is composed of
members of the former Swede Park

pancy, starting Sunday and worship
services and Sunday school will be
held there in the forenoon.
