Benton County Reports
Boost i'm Tax Payments

Benton county taxpayers set a
record this year for promptness. Raw
Gllcrest, county treasurer, said to-
day. Real estate and personal prop
erty taxes amounting to Sl7O.2O3. or
"a percent Of the current wears
assessments, have been paid. This
compares with 70 percent of the
taxes that had been paid on the
same date last year.
Gilcrest said many persons came
into the office this week to nav
taxes in order to escape the penalty
to be in force after December
when real estate and personal prop
erty taxes become delinquent. Be
cause of the rush, Mr.. Gilcrest stat
ed that his office would remain
open on Saturday afternoon of this
week, so that everyone could be ac-
comodated.
The county collected S88O,783 this
year in all forms Of taxes and as
sessments, Gilcrest said.

Irrigation Institute is Educational.
Rather ThanP official Organization

The history of irrigation in the
State of Washington and the history
of the Washington Irrigation Insti-
tute make an interesting parallel
The institute was organized in 1913
by group of enthusiastic irriga-
tionists of the Yakima valley who
believe that by 1913 this enterprise
had progressed to the point where it
deserved the benefits of educational
nature that would be possible with
an institute. The present officers
proudly point to the fact that the
institute has always remained an
educational organization, and has
never turned its activities towards
the political.
E. F. Benson, now deceased, was
selected as the first president in
1913, and served as such for five
years, and is referred to as the
father" of the institute by its pio-
neer members. Most of Washing
tons best known irrigationists have
served as president or director dur
ing the % years of its life, and all
of its presidents have kept the
membership and programs of the
institute at a high level.
Moore is President
John S. Moore, 1899 and 1910
is we'll known for his work
as Superintendent of the Yakima
Reclamation Project, which project
includes most of those in the Yak
ina valley from Gle Elum to Ken
newick. A real pioneer, he has seen
the Yakima Valley make much of
its growth, and has had a hand in
the actual work that made it DOS
sible for the farming districts and
towns to progress. Mr.. Moore leads
the institute into its 18th meeting
with the able assistance of w. G.

II More Firms
Join 100 Percent
Community Chest
Photographer falls down
on job; so only 8 firms
get pictures printed in
paper

The Community Chest drive is do
ing better this year than for sew
eral just past-the 100 percent idea
seemingly has made a hit. F. M.
Ludlow, chairman of the committee
this year has added fourteen firms
this week to the. two or three listed
last week.
The official photographer, sup
posed to get pictures Of those firms
which were entitled to display the
10G percent placard, had a misfor-
tune with his apparatus and only
three of the firms were recorded.
The first firm over the line, the j.
C. Penney Co. went through the
fortunes of posing twice and still
the picture didn't turn out good
enough to have cut made from it.
That's why the picture of the crew
does not appear in this issue.
However, three of the other firms
did get pictures good enough to
recognize and theirs are the ones
reproduced in this issue. Other firms
rating the honors are: Moulton &
Powell, DR.. A. II. Wegner, Vibber-
Clifford Drug Co., Richmond Bros.
Implement Co., Reese Concrete Pipe
Co., Courier-Reporter, Washburn
Stores, National Bank of Commerce,
Big Y, Western Auto Supply Co., j.
II. Siegfried office, Kennewick Auto
Co.. Neuman's store and Kenne-
wick Market. =
1t is hoped that the drive can be
completed this coming week and
that 100 percent of the business in
,titutions of the city become 100
oercenters.
