Advises Growing
Flowers on
Vacant Property
Perfume makers need
to look to local supply
for future use

War or no. war, flowers must still
be grown to meet feminine demands
for perfumes, sachets and cologneS,
and, now that imports have stopped
from abroad, new opportunity has
arisen for growing valuable crops on
abandoned orchard tracts and 9TH
err non-producing land in this area,
according to H. w. Derry, manager
of Pacific Power & Light Company'S
new industries department.
The existing supply of import
ed dried flowers will last only about
another year, but the $4,000, 900
American perfume industry has dis
covered that flowers can be grown
in this country, too. The problem
is 10 develop sufficient acreage of
new blooms to meet the demand.
Mary Douglas, president of large
New York concern, has written to
Derry seeking supply of domestic
larkspur to replace the blue malva
and Roman camomile formerly i'm
ported from Belgium and used in the
manufacture of SachetS.
Larkspur grows especially wen in
cool, billy sections UP to 1000 feet
altitude. The planting requires no
particular skill or technical training.
Choosing spot that gets sun all
day, the seeds should be Sown in
rows about two feet apart. When
UP about three inches the seed
lings are thinned out to about six
inches. If the soil isn't moist
enough, the plants can be irrigated.
An enticing sideligft is that the
flowers can be grown on big acre
age commercially, or as paying
hobby in back yards. The flowers
lose none of their decorative value
in being cultivated for sachet.
The drying involves no more than
cutting the spikes when they are in
full bloom about ten weeks
after spring sowing-and binding
Is spikes to the bundle. They are
hung Immediately in cool, dry,
dark room. After six or eight weeks
the bundles are dry enough for the
flowers to be stripped. For sachet
purposes the best colors are dark
blue, purple, lilac, rose, pink and
white.

Valley Man First
to Contribute to
Community Chest
Wheat rancher is close
second; city drive to
be next week

Response to the Community
Chest Drive were prompt from the
district Immediately outside the
city limits, Chairman Urban Keel
ker said tonight. The first returns
from the Valley district came from
G.. G. Campbell, whose contribution
to the chest came by return mail
Monday. III. D. Clodfelter of the
Horse Heaven District was a close
second with his contribution, which
was left at the printing office for
the committee. Other responses have
been coming in with each mail since
the first day, Mr. Koelker sad.
On the city list, the business
houses have been requested to save
their contributions until the So
licitor assigned to that block comes
after it the first of next week. This
plan is to give employers ample time
to explain the program to his en-
ployees and collect their contri-
buttons. Each worker is being ask
ed to contribute one days wages to
the fund. The management is ex-
pected to top this figure, of course.
One angle of the drive which has
not been made plain is that every
contribution of more than one dol
lar also rates as membership in
the National Red Cross, no local
drive for this organization being
held here this year as their quota
will come from the chest funds. Each
person who contributes more than a
dollar will be given a Red Gross
membership button, Mr. Koelker
explained. ..
It is hoped that a complete can
vass of the city contributors can be
cleaned up in the one day-prob-
ably Tuesday of next week. Con-
tributors are urged to have their
money ready before the solicitor ar
rives. .

PascO Golfer Gets
Coveted Hole I'M One

It's only about once in a blue
moon when a golfer makes hole
in-one shot. In the two years that
the local course has been in opera
tion-and with every golfer aiming
right at it every time he shoots, the
thing has been accomplished but
once-and that time it really didn't
count. Byron Arnold of Pasco cap
tured the ace on the sixth hole this
week. But inasmuch as it was on
the winter green, it really isn't one
for the records officially. Even so,
it provided the thrill which every
golfer looks for but almost never
gets to experience. e.

C. of C. to Back
Irrigation District
With Resolution
Seek to save growers
$4,000 a year in bond
interest payments

The first important step towards
equalization Of the financial bur-
denS OF irrigation districts construct
ed by the Bureau OF Reclamation
with those constructed by private
capital and subsequently, refinanced
by the Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration and other governmental
agencies. was taken by the National
Reclamation Association at its an
nual convention held in Phoenix,
Arizona last october.
The recommendations OF this reso-
luton have a direct bearing on the
future finances Of Columbia 1rri-
cation District, and the probable ef-
fect OF these recommendations was
explained to the Chamber OF Com
merce today by Frank Maupin, sec
rotary.
The resolution, referred to as Reso-
luton Number 5, asks for legisla-
ton by the Federal government that
would transfer irrigation district
bonds held by RIG and other
agencies to the Bureau OF Reclama-
ton and would then permit payment
Cd such principal amounts without
interest. RFC charges percent in
terest to its borrowers, and Column
bia district now pays approximately
$4,000 each year, which would be
the amount of local savings II such
legislation were passed.
1t was pointed out that only g
percent OF the districts operating
in the western states were construct
ed and financed by the Bureau,
leaving the remaining SIS percent
financed Through other channels.
and most of them paying inter-
est. on their outstanding bonds.
Columbia district has one OF the
largest loans in this state, and the
burden Of securing endorsements
from irrigation districts, civic or
CARNATIONS, oranges and others in
tereSted will undoubtedly fall upon
those most affected. The Kenne-
wick Chamber of Commerce Is the
first organization solicited for en-
dorsement, and its members voted
unanimously to endorse the propos-
al, and will follow up by sending
copies OF the resolution with their
endorsement to senators and repre-
sentatives in congress.

Proposal Made by Repre- sentative, West Virginia
 -InformaIIy Approved
SUGGESTION MADE
 TO GREAT BRITAIN
Line Would Be from Min- neaDoIis Across Can-
 ada 10 Fairbanks

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21--A mill tary airline from Minneapolis, Min nescta, through Canada to Fair banks, Alaska, is proposed by Rep resentative Ed ward Edmiston Of West Virginia as means by which Great Britain could compensate the United States for materials of war.
 Edmistcn, top ranking member of the Aviation b-Committee of the House Military Affairs Committee, said the group has informally ap- proved of the suggestion of several of the Air Corps officials and inter- est is expressed in the tie-in for Na- tional Defense
 Edmiston said his suggestion is that Great Britain grant the United States right-of-w for highway frcm Seattle to Fairbanks and air right -of-way' for the proposed mili- tary route.
 Edmiston also said the military airline has been informally approved by many members of the Military Affairs Committee.
 The Representatives said the air line would follow the route sought by the Northwest Airlines, Inc, but he emphasized however the route will be sought primarily for military purposes"
 Edmiston said the route proposed would lead from Minneapolis to Far gc, North Dakota, then leave the United States about 175 miles north west of Fargo and from the Canadian border in straight line to Regina. Edmonton, Grand Prairie, to White horse, thence to Fairbanks.
 Edmiston stated that as far as he knew now, the only present military airline to Alaska is up the coast from Seattle to Ketchikan, to Ju- neau and then Whitehorse, over mountains and bays, and no place to set a plane down except on the water"

WASHINGTON-Jo L. Lewis is keeping his own counsel, but pri- vately he is cooking up batch of demands that are going to give the mine operators convulsions when they meet with him early next month to negotiate new union contract.
 Chief proposals the United Mine Workers boss has up his sleeve are CD a basic $8-a-day wage, @ a G. hour day.
 Present average union wage scale is $550 for a 7-hour day, 5-day week. Highest miner pay was $7.50 for an 8-hour day, 6-day week dur ing the World War, and again in 1928 under the so-called Jackson vile agreement. which later was re- pudiated by the operators during the Hoover depression.
 Both the coal industry and UNIV sank to a low state in the ensuing years and it wasn't until the NRA followed by the Bituminous Coal Act, put an end to cutthroat com petition and gave the union legal recognition that both operators and miners got back on their feet.
 Now. with the UNIV contract ex- piring March 31, Lewis is out to capitalize on the defense program and the tremendous demand for coal He is in a strategic position and intends to make the most of it.
 Privately. government labor chiefs are fearful that Lewis is bent on coal tie-up. He is bitterly against the Presidents foreign policies and de- fense program, and could almost paralyze both if the mines shut down.
 Already there is a shortage of coke Many beehive ovens. which made coke for small steel plants anc which have been shut down for years. have been reopened in recent months. But still they are insuf- ficient to meet the steadily rising demand. In 1929 there were 10,02S beehive ovens; now there are less than 1900 in operation, mostly locat- ed around Uniontown, Pa.
