COST OF WAR IN DOLLARS
TOPS TRILLION MARK

How long would it require for person
to count, in measured cadence, to tril-
lion? Or to be more concrete how long
to count, one by one, trillion dollars?
An endless task.
Yet that is what the global war has
cost to date and the amount does not take
into consideration the destruction of
property-to rebuild London or Berlin or
Tokyo.
Approached from another angle, the
staggering figures might be compre-
hended to certain degree Boiled down
one notch, we can say thousand billions.
Then moving along we find that the
United States has expended 28O millions
of the total. That leaves 78O billions for
the rest of the world. 1t is estimated the
cost to Germany also was 280 billions.
There you have the trillion half counted
and little more.
But one thing the mind can grasp and
that is the more terrible cost-the mil
lions of lives.
Perhaps it might help the peoples of
the world to avoid wars if they would
'wrestle with these stupendous figures on
money cost and open their hearts and
souls to consider the tragedy of the loss
of life.

Geography
Kennewick has been sighted
again. In all the news stories pub
lished and broadcast during the
past few days about Richland and
Hanford, locations were given as
relative to Pasco.
We don't particularly begrudge
our sister city any publicity they
can get-God knows they need il
but it would seem that Kenne-
wick is entitled to a fair. share
The writer arrived here after the
boom had waned. But when we
mentioned those days to others we
were met with signs and head
shaking.
Kennewick definitely played q
major part in making this huge
undertaking possible. Local mer.
chants furnished supplies until
that job was taken over in Rich.
land. Every citizen knows what
the housing problem was and the
extremes to which Kennewich
people went to help solve it. Ken.
neWick farms fed thousands.
But we have the last laugh. We
can afford to patiently await oul
turn. Because we have the geo.
graphical advantage-and not even
an atomic bomb can change that.

an explosion that reverberated
through the Massachusetts, hills
and rolled on, gaining in intensity
until it was, felt in every part OF
the world.
It was the signal for new birth
Of freedom for man. The enslaved
peoples of Europe looked hungrily
at this new world of promise. Some
escaped their bondage to cast their
lot in the awakened continent.
Others stayed and with strength
ened hearts began to threw off the
heavy hand of their overlords.
On Monday, August 6,1945, that
explosion was re-echoed in an
other "shot heard round the
world" With announcement by
President Truman on that day of
the awful new atomic bomb came
a new rebirth of hope in the
hearts of all people who are striv-
ing to rid this world Of the spectre
of war
Speculation has run rampant.
What are the implications of this
tremendous new force? Can it be
harnessed to serve the world in
peace? Will man use this energy
to fly to the moon or Mars? An
swers to these questions will be
some time in coming.
But the immediate reaction is
the realization that the Allies have
now developed a weapon that will
end this war and possibly forestall
any future wars.
That alone is an achievement of
such tremendous proportions that

strains of the lively melodies he
played. The men sang and danced
and made merry, for there was no
telling what the morrow might
bring forth. This was the first
Fourth of July celebration ever
staged in present Montana.
As soon as all was ready, the
party pressed on. On July Is, they
discovered a river flowing in from
the south which they named
Smiths river, for Robert Smith,
secretary of the Navy. Three days
later a tributary from the north
was named Dearborn river, in
honor of Henry Dearborn, Sec

CHAPTER 2
Great Falls Of the Missouri

Great Falls Of the Missouri
!, The Indians had told Lewis and
Clark that many days journey
to the west they would come upon
great falls and rapids, where the
water dashed madly over rocky
cliffs, where it was impossible
for boats to live. Captain Lewis
and four of the men went ahead
of the main party and, on June
Is, came upon the spot the Indians
had described. Here, for dis
lance of nearly twenty miles,
the Missouri plunges over spec
tacular falls and rapids, taking in
that distance, total drop OF over
four hundred feet. The great falls
themselves have q drop of over
eighty feet.
The sight of this mighty work
of nature was an inspiring one to
the captain and his men, and as
sured them that they were on the
real Missouri. Names were given
to the various falls as they came
to them. The first and mightiest
was called the Great Falls; then
came Crooked Falls, Rainbow,
Golfer and Black Eagle. Just be-
low the latter falls was a small
island. Here stood a cottonwood
tree on which a black eagle had
built its nest. Disturbed by its
unlimited guests, the eagle spread
its wings and flew over the party
as on trip of inspection. Finally
satisfying itself. that the group
meant no harm, the eagle returned

to its nest and settled its ruffled
feathers. Near this spot is the
present city of Great Falls, Mon
tana.
Continuing his march, Captain
Lewis came upon a river flowing
from the west called by the Ind
ians the Medicine (SunD river.
Beyond were the White Bear is
lands, where camp was made
Here they had several lively en-
counters with the grizzly bears
which inhabited the islands, and
resented any encroachment on
their domain.
Captain Clark soon arrived with
the main party and preparations
were made to portage around the
falls and rapids. The portage, COW
ering eighteen miles, took two
weeks to accomplish. Out of a
cottonwood tree they made wheels
for q wagon on which to haul
their boats and supplies. A por-
ton of their goods were cached
at the mouth of Portage Belt
Mountain creek to tighten their
burdens and create a reserve for
the return trip, if they were lucky
enough to return.
Lewis and Clark had brought
from the United States the iron
frame of a boat, which they now
put together and covered with
skins of elk and buffalo. But
when the boat was launched il
leaked so badly it had to be aban-
doned. Two canoes were made
from cottonwood trees to take
its place. The portage was slow
and laborious. The mems feet
were cut by the sharp rocks and
prickly pear, and they had to keep
a sharp lookout for rattlesnakes.
During the portage, Captain
Clark, York, Carbonneau, SAGA
jawea and little Baptiste were
caught in a ravine during a cloud
burst which threatened to engulf
them. Clark, at imminent risk
of his own life, saved the lives of
the Indian woman and her pap
Dose.
In this wild district, far from
the refining influence of civiliza-
ton, they observed Fourth of July.
A great feast was prepared of the
tenderest parts of elk and buffalo
meat. The last of the Whiskey
was drunk in toast to President
Jefferson. The flag was flown
from tall pole and saluted with
a volley from their rifles. Cru

THE FIRST and great Napoleon, who
chung to the theory that "armies travel on
their stomach" was in bad way. He was
having difficulties in supplying his far
flung forces. He offered prize of 10000
francs for method Of preserving food.
Spurred by this offer, amid the hunger
and necessities Of war-torn continent,
Francois Appert, modest French confec-
TONER, discovered that basic principles Of
cleanliness and the application of heat to
sealed containers would prevent spoilage.
He won.
But canning remained slow process
until modern mass production methods
were supplied to the production and clos
ing of the metal can.
The greatest progress in this respect
has come along in the Twentieth Century,
largely since the organization Of the
American Can Company, which has long
been valued and important customer
of The National Bank of Commerce of
Seattle.
Development of special processes for
various types of food and the incredible
speed OF manufacture OF metal cans, which
pour at rates up to 400 per minute from
each Of hundreds of American Can Com
pany production lines in more than so fac
tories, have made it possible to can, eco
nomically, more than $500 products.
Now Americans enjoy the worlds highest
standard Of living.

Bank Of Commerce that virtually all
large businesses of today were once small.
And that is among the many reasons why

 "As result of this inquiry the A.

|U. s. Will Not Seek | Bases

Washington, Aug. 14-(UP) - President Truman is expected tc assure Gen. Charles De Gaulle dur ing his forthcoming visit here that the United States does not want any air or naval bases on French territory in the Pacific.
 It was learned today that Mir. Truman's recent statement about American aspirations for Pacific bases was one of the subjects De Gaulle plans to raise at the White House nxt week.
 MT. Truman announced last night that De Gaulle's long-planned visit to Washington now was set for this month and that the President of the French provisional government would arrive here a week from to- morrow.
 Future Problems
 American officials have not pre- pared any agenda for the meeting. De Gaulle, however, is expected to seek discussion of these major prob- lens:
 1. The future of France in the Pacific.
 2. The western boundary of Ger many and future of the German Rhineland. 3. Postwar economic and finan- cial problems with an eye on Amer ican credits.
 4. The French dispute with Syria and Lebanon.
 France has protested mildly at being omitted from the current big four negotiations regarding Japan's surrender.
