ago to stay permanently in the
Kennewick-Pasco area, as I lived
in Portland five years, after I re-
tired in 1897, thinkink that the
Pacific coast climate was really
better than the climate here. But
after my experience on the coast,
I believe that climate cannot be
compared to that which we have
here, either for the younger, active
people or the older people who
have come to a point where they
take things little bit easier.

Stay In This Area, is Advice Of
Ike Serier After Tourinq Reqion

"Stay in the KenneWick-R Rich
land-Pasco area" said Isaac Serier
of Kennewick, retired railroad
man and farmer "and you will
enjoy the benefits of one of the
most healthful and pleasant cli-
mates in the United States, as well
as receive the economic advant-
ages from already-developed in
dustries and farming activities of
the area and the immense con-
struction and future growth which
will be experienced in the entire
Columbia Basin area with the de-
velopment of the new irrigation
projects and inevitable business
expansion"
ike" Serier, as he is known to
his many friends, has been travel
ing and re-Surveying this territory
extensively with his son, Ken E.
Serier. Ike recently celebrated
his 18th birthday and appeared to
be in excellent health, looked
much younger than his years, al
tough he has spent over As years
IN the West and has endured some
OF the hardships which fall to all
pioneers.
He stated: 81 first came to Pas
co in 1901, looked out and saw a
small village which didn't appear
to have more than 80 or 40 houses
and a few railroad buildings.
l had signed up at Minneapolis
10 work as telegrapher for the
Northern Pacific and had been
sent to Northern Washington.
AT PaSco I saw for the first
time an entire train ferried across
a large body of water, as there
was no bridge at all across the
river then, either railroad or high
way.
At Kennewick, I can't recall
there being anything but a small
building which passed as a depot
and at Richland, development was
just beginning and there didn't
seem to be anything but some very
poor roads and lot of sagebrush
AS I drive around Richland now
am amazed to think that water
and human ingenuity can unite tc
make such wonderful place fol
man to live.

of the United States and travelet
all over the West, and I dom
think there is a place in the Unitet
States which holds more promis
for a young couple, or for olde
persons than here at the junction
of the Yakima, Columbia and tn
Snake rivers.
| When compare the pleasant
open winters and invigorating eli
mate we have here with the tire
mendously cold and long winter
of the middle West, I can't imag
line anybody wanting to 60 bacl

Gen. HOmna Says He Ordered Bataan "Death March"

It. Gen. Homma acknowledged he ordered the march of seventy thousand American and Filipino prisoners from Bataan on the bloody trek in 1922. The former Philippines commander in chief is charged with the responsibility of that march in which seventeen thousand died or were killed by the Jap guards.
 "Im morally responsible for anything that happened under my command" Homma testified un- der cross examination at his war crimes trial in Manila. His admis- sion climaxed weeks of testimony describing the agony of prisoners of war and civilians alike under the Jap yoke.
 In Tokyo Allied headquarters announced that General MacAr- thur would decide tomorrow the fate of It. Gen. Yamashita, former Philippines commander, sentenced to the gallows upon conviction of countless atrocities.
 The United States Supreme Court upheld the decision of the military court in Manila, but final judgment is left up to General Macarthur.

Wes Rhoades, local furniture furnisher, owns the property on Brooklyn avenue where the Fem ner family dwells.
 In the yard for sometime has exist ed one CD fir tree. Said one CD fl tree has been nurtured for several years. Recently when some work was being done ln the yard, Wes gave strict instructions not to damage the tree, and the worker was very particular, dig ging about the fiji with hls bare hands, so as not to injure its roots.
 The other morning, as the Fenners as well as Wes will tell you, the tree had disappeared Completely.
 Investigation seemed to point reliably to the fact that it was the work of some misguided youth or youths, engaged in a scavenger hunt. One of the scav- enges had to be 8 tree, and thus the one ID lone fir in the yard became the victim.
 With plenty of intended, un- wanted trees in the immediate vicinity, it is a shame that a mans property had to be tres passed and his arbof destroyed by some minimizing clout,-or clouts.
 When we last saw Wes he said he was Hooking" for the person responsible for the scavenger hunt.
 It's good thing news wasn't scarce this week, or we'd have told him the high school coach spanked the idea. But we know the latter intended no such wan ton destruction.
 How about another scaveDgerI hunt? Object: to find one CD fir tree, to be planted in the vacant spot in the Fenner- Rhoades yard?
 Hang on to your trees, folks.
