1886 Ration
Books Issued Here
Last Week
KenneWick turns in
1896, while Richland
issues 2436 books

Registration, still not complete,
for Ration Book w, as taken last
week, gave this end of the county
a grand total of 1896. Of this
number 1859 were from the Ken
newick area. The highest number,
as shown by the applications, was
from the Hanford- White Bluffs
district, where 1850 books were
issued. This number does not by
any means, include all of the peo-
pie in that area, for by far the
largest number of workers in that
area do not require ration books.
Richland registered 2436 books
and the River View district issued
TAI. Ordinarily these figures
would give a very definite check
upon the number of people in the
several districts, but because of
the large number who do not re-
quire ration books, the population
cannot be checked in this man
ner, being entirely too low.
The ration board announces that
those who were unable to regis
ter last week may apply at the
local board after next Monday
for their books.

All Want to

All seem pleased w 18th
experiment in hand
ling farm crops

Tuesday night the last remain
ing quota of farm 1aborers, i'm
ported for farm work in this area
from Missouri and Mississippi this
spring, left for their homes. There
were rs individuals in the party.
OF the 10 families from Missouri,
only one gave his intention of not
returning another year if possible.
His refusal was not because he
was dissatisfied, but because he
had made enough so that he pre-
ferred to stay at home and con-
tinue the development of his home
place. 5 sn."
One family of eight, three of
whom worked during the season,
was taking back $4,000 which they
had saved from their seasons
work. Others had nearly as good
records. All had profitted and all
had either sent or were taking
money back with them.
The camp, however, is not be-
ing closed, as was planned at the
beginning of the season. As re-
suit of the acute housing shortage
here, permission has been re-
ceived to keep the camp open for
transient agricultural or defense
workers in this area. There will
be approximately 80 units avail
able for the winter. The unit
consists of a sidewalled tent, with
floor, bed, tick, stove and table.
Other equipment must be supplied
by the workers themselves.
Camp facilities, wash rooms,
toilets, etc., will be supplied by
the camp officials who will re-
main on the job during the winter.
There will be a group of Mex.
leans housed on the place during
the winter, they, too having re-
ceived special permission to re-
main for agricultural work during

Unit would add
10000 acres of best
land in valley

For Is years it has been the
dream of Kennewick folks to have
the High Line canal constructed,
thereby adding some 10000
acres of highly productive farm
lands to the 1000 already under
cultivation on the Highlands. This
week, it looks as though the dream
had a real chance of coming true,
as result of the trip taken by
representatives to the annual ir-
rigation institute held last week
at Denver. 50 .... .-... v.rn.,
H. G. Fyfe and E. j. Brand, rep
resenting the Kennewick Irriga-
ton district were in attendance at
the meetings and came back with
the word that the Kennewick
project would probably be the
next one to be constructed. Pos
sibilities of the start of the work
as early as next spring are being
examined. >ras. .-.:a- -zEs.as
: A few years ago the Kennewick
project was all but in the cards.
Then the Kittitas project was CIV
en- precedence. Then, after other
years of effort, the Rosa was given
the green light while the Kenne-
wick unit was passed by. Now,
the Rosa is all but completed, the
Kittitas is out of the way and
the Kennewick unit is next on the
program. s7 ss.ss.z
Because of all the preliminary
work, this project is ready to be
developed. Settlement nowadays
is a comparatively speedy and
simple matter, economic and soil
surveys have been made, rights OF
way have been purchased and the
legal preliminaries all straight
ened out.
The project received the en-
dorsement of all the irrigation
men in charge of the regional
work and the local men feel sure
that at last the project is about
to be undertaken. The most seri-
Gus obstacle, they feel now, is that
the pumps will be unavailable
but the war situation would seem
to justify priorities on this equip
ment, since it will be in large
measure war food program OF
development.
It was pointed out this noon by
MIR. Brand that the development
of this area would triple the size
of the business and residential
area of Kennewick, regardless OF
any growth due to war activity
and industry in the area.
