two farmers cooperating with the

Henry Mohr established two &c

Another example Of pasture i'm
provement due to drainage and

acres of sub-irrigated land near
Finley. The water table was
lowered in this pasture by drain

Is This It?

~ 49, 80
That's the question that is be
ing asked in KenneWick this week.
In almost every years file Of the
Courier-Reporter since 1920 can
be found q story telling that ap-
prevail of the Kennewick High
lands project is only a matter OF
days.
Maybe we're going out on q
limb but we feel confident that
this is the real Mccoy. A delega-
ton from Kennewick is in Boise
now discussing final plans for the
project before they are forwarded
to Washington.
A trip to Spokane Monday re-
suited in generous favorable re-
Spouse for our project from rep
resentatives Of the Bureau Of Rec
lamation.
We can point to a dozen reasons
why the project should be COM
pleted Immediately. The land is
needed. Homes are needed. The

Katz, general traffic manager. The
company has just opened new Of
fees at 400 University street,
Seattle, the location on Victory
Square occupied formerly as a
reservation headquarters by the

Pacific Northern Airlines is the

A. G. Woodley, president and gen.
eral manager of the air transport
company, and formerly bore the
name Woodley Anyways.
PIMA has just added three 81

The new planes are equipped with
special electronic devices and
other postwar innovations. To en-
nance the luxuriousness of the

Stating that these improvements
in service are only the first steps
