This Is a pioneer recipe. A sug-
gestion for Mrs. M. G.. S., to keep a

Measure amount of sugar you in
tend to use; place the bottom crust
in the pan and sprinkle we'll with
the sugar. To the remaining sugar
add one tablespoon rounded mot
heaped of sifted or cake flour and
blend thoroughly. Pour this over the
berries and toss I(not stir so that the
berries are coated; pour into crust:
cover with upper crust, press edges
IA tined silver fork dipped in
water is best). Now fold the strip of
muslin and place around the tin,
fold-side down, raw edges up, lap
and pin (point down, head up). Good
luck!

R. E. Quota Still
Not Achieved

Every place in the state, it
seems, has gone over the top in
the Red Cross drive" Mrs. S. S.
McHenry, chairman of the local
committee, said today, "but Ken
newick. We're still quite a way
from reaching our goal of $500
and we want to go over the top,
the same as the rest of the coun-
try. We must do something about
it. We must reach our goal"
In some cases the contributions
were too small, under the pressing
need, Mrs. McHenry said, and in
other cases the people have been
missed, even after repeated trips
by the solicitors. "This is every
body's campaign" Mrs. McHenry
said, "and it's everyone's real duty
to see that their contributions are
handed in, even if the solicitors
happen to miss them. Contribu-
tons may be left at the printing
office"
Several hundred dollars have
been collected at the Rovy theater
during the past week, but even
with several more days to go, the
collections from this source will
not alone put the community
over the goal top. -.

Must Raise Half
or New Hospital

Kennewick's proposed $350,000
hospital, approved by the district
office at Seattle and the regional
office at San Francisco, received
its first jolt last week when word
was received that the appropria-
ton from the Lanham Act would
be but so percent of the total
cost. The remainder would have
to be raised locally.
Following that, information, a
special committee composed of
County Prosecutor c. L. Powell,
School Supt. E. S. Black and p. c..
Richmond, made a trip to Olympia
Monday to ask state aid from the
governor. The governor politely
turned thumbs down on any such
suggestion, saying that Kenne-
wick was not the first district to.
ask such aid, but that under the
laws, such appropriations were i'm
possible.
However, the matter is still not
dead. The committee is trying to
finance the proposition through
the city, county and by other local
sources hand hopes to be able to
follow through with a counter
proposition which still might save
the day for the plans.

City Planning
New Sewer
Trunk Lines
Overflow to be ex-
tended pending build
ing of new line

The city's rapidly increasing
population is creating several
serious problems for the city
management, chief among them
being the water and sewer facili-
ties. Plans for the sewer extern
sions are under way and include,
principally, a new main trunk
outlet into the river from Wash
ington street.
At present the main trunk runs
down Avenue c, the paved high
way, with a high water overflow
emptying into the backwater just
below the foot of Washington
street. This overflow pipe also
carries the irrigation seepage
water from the north side of town,
and is creating stagnant pool
below the causeway to the island.
This condition aroused the
health department which has
ordered conditions changed there.
Recently an engineering firm was
hired by the city to lay plans
for the future extensions, which
included new and larger trunk
down Avenue B from Washing
ton street. The plans also in
cluded the extension of the Wash
ington street line across the island
into the main channel of the
river.
With the opening of the can
neries a great increase in waste
will be noted. This normally is
dumped into the overflow line.
Temporarily, the state health de-
partment has authorized an ex-
tension of this outlet further down
the slough, until the main trunk
line can be installed, work on
which will be undertaken as soon
as the city can secure the ne
cessary priorities for the materials
from the War Production Board
Eventually a sewer disposal
plant. will be required and the
present plans include provisions
for transp0sition.

City 10 Add
New ire Truck

Kennewick's increasing fire haz-
ards have caused the city to plan
extensions to its fire fighting
equipment. AT the last meeting
OF the city council, plans were
laid for the purchase of another
bumper. Bids have been prepared
and the call has been made for
tne new equipment.
Health Officer Tudor called the
attention of the council to the
very definite fire hazard being
increased daily at the several
cabin and trailer camps in the
immediate neighborhood.
A new car for the police de-
partment was also authorized. It
is planned to make these pur-
!fnases out of next years budget,
so that the former experience of
paying more in interest on the
PONDS than the original cost of
lhe apparatus, will not be neces-
sary this time.

Contamination in
River Forces New
Source Of Supply
Drilling to start as
soon as equipment
can bet set up

Kennewick's water supply situa.
lion is shortly TO be improved,
according TO an announcement
made this noon by local manager
r. H. Skill, Of the Pacific Power
& Light Co., to the chamber of
commerce. The matter has been
in the making for more than a
year, investigations made last year
proving the need for q better and
more adequate supply.
The company plans to drill wells
in the city, pumping directly into
the mains, with the overflow 60
ing to storage reservoirs located
on the hills south of town. The
site for the well has been secured,
the drilling contract has been
let to A. A. Durand and the
equipment was shipped from La
Grande, Ore. last week, although
it has not yet arrived in Kenne-
wick. Drilling is to commence
as soon as the rig can be set up.
The wells will be located in the
neighborhood of Fourth avenue
and Cedar street, in the southeast
ern part of town. The original
vi ssqouI usslxIs 90 HIM usm
diameter and il is hoped an ample
supply of water can be obtained.
If additional supply is needed,
more wells will be drilled, accord
ing to Mr.. Skill.
Provided a sufficient supply is
obtained, Mr.. Skill said, arrange
ments are being considered to
also supply the Highlands system,
either by purchase or wholesal-
ing.
1t is not known how long the
drilling will take, but Skill says
the job will be pushed just as
rapidly as possible. Much will
depend, Of course, upon the kino
of drilling and the depth to which
the bits will have to 60 to secure
the proper quality and quantity
of water.
Both the local and Highlands
water supply is now from the
Columbia river, where pollution
is steadily worsening, according
to the health department author
tiles.

Plans for Rec
Hall Under Way

The same firm of architects of
Seattle that is handling the hos
pital plans for us, have been
given the green light by the local
committee to 60 ahead with the
plans for a central community
building in Kennewick and for
our temporary recreation center.
It is expected that the preliminary
plans will be back in about a
week for further consideration.
The central building will be a
permanent structure and the city
council last week went on record
stating that the city would assist
financially in order to assure a
building of permanent type. This
will be of locally made con-
crete block, according to plans
announced. Tentative location OF
the building is the city park.

Fire Destroys One of
Early Day Residences

Fire practically ruined the res
idence of Archie Williams on Third
Avenue Tuesday morning about 2
o'clock. Contents of the house
were pretty well gotten out, but
the house itself was almost COM
pletely ruined.
The fire started in the roof and
was well under way before the
family became aware of il. The
house belonged to Williams BROTH
er-in-law, William Mills Of Hover,
and was one Of the first residences
constructed in that part of the
city.

Labor Situation
Can Become
Very Serious
Farmers urged to apply
for extra laborers at
once for grass

Prospects for adequate labor for
the 1914 year for agricultural pur-
poses are not at all bright accord
ing to Waldo w. Skuse, county
extension agent, who stated that
local farmers this year win not
have the services of a considerable
group of farmers brought in from
Missouri and Mississippi and
established at the Labor Camp,
as was the case last year. A few
individuals from such sources who
were there last year are there
now, having come in on their
own power, but they have been
grabbed up fast by the men who
employed them last year.
This means, says Skuse, that
Mexican Nationals are the biggest
remaining hope. Wires have just
been received that IT'S of these
men will arrive on April 10 and
lnoqlIM,, ask Sc are usqa 10 G.
a home" that is, they have not
been contracted for by farmers
with the Bentcn-Franklin Labor
Committee. The sad and awful
truth is that unless these men
are contracted for within the next
few days they will simply be sent
on up the valley to "the land of
no RETURN" SO far as any hope of
ever getting them beck to work
here is concerned. It is only
through the foresight of the COM
mittee in placing the order that
it will be possible to get these
extra men.
Ordinarily quite a considerable
number of farm labor families
have come into the district to cut
grass, pick cherries, etc., but they
are not showing up, and farmers
who have been holding off on
this account must certainly soon
make up their minds which way
they are going to play this PROPOSE
ton. The Extension Service has
been assigned by law the task Of
recruitment and placement Of ag-
ricultural labor. A labor office
will be opened up at the Labor
Camp. More information will be
given about this later, but mean
while it is hoped that we won't
let any Mexican Nationals get
away from us and that interested
farmers will make contact with the
Labor Committee. Lawrence New
some is secretary.

Exon Gets $4,000
In Robbery; Is
Caught at Yakima
Throws gun in river
from bridge; woman
involved in case

The robber who held up the
Western Union office at Hanford
Monday night has been captured
confessed and the bulk of his
$4,000 loot recovered. The arrest
was made in Yakima Wednesday
night.
Tuesday night Marion Jesse
Beck, %, held up the Western
Union office at Hanford and got
away with approximately $1,000.
His identity at that time was
unknown. The Hanford patrol
traced the man and his accom-
plice, Olive 'Coldiron, 80, to Yak
ina where they were arrested at
midnight. Following his arrest
the couple confessed to the rob-
berry and surrendered the stolen
money.
Questioned by the military in
telligence, who with the Hanford
patrol had had Beck under sur
violence for "a hours proceed
ing the arrest, Beck confessed and
said that he had purchased the
revolver and IL bullets from a
pawn shop in Yakima last Sat-
urday for the express purpose of
committing the robbery.
After the crime early Tuesday
morning Beck said he had hidden
the money and revolver in the
spare tire of Miss Coldiron's 1910
Buick sedan. They remained in
the vicinity of Hanford until five
in the afternoon when he and
Miss Coldiron left for trailer
camp at Pasco.
Beck said he threw the gun
off the bridge across the river
Wednesday before leaving for
Yakima.
According to the military police
Beck had served time for armed
robbery in louisiana. He will
be turned over to the Benton
county authorities for trial.
