Inter-City War Looms;
Try for Peace Doubtful

there now looms controversy be-
tween the two cities that may
develop into a major war. In fact
some observers have gone so far
as to suggest that the inter-city
bridge should be blown up and
barricades erected along the river
banks.
Like a lot Of wars, you can
never tell when some apparently
minor incident" may develop into
an about war.
We are not going to attempt to
forecast the outcome. Nor are we
going to sit idly by and see a lot
of innocent people dragged into
the fighting. We are going to offer
our services for what they are
worth in a sincere attempt to bring
about reconciliation before any
actual shooting starts.
Mayor J. c. Pratt Of Kennewick
and Mayor Fred Huber of Pasco
are flying off into the wilds of the

Odyssey Told Of Wandering Ancient
Prinfinu Press; Link Is Missing

chine under which was hidden,
neatly wrapped in piece OF
brown wrapping paper, copy OF
the Pomeroy paper published in
1882. It is reasonable to assume
that the copy was placed in ar
chive by E. T. Wilson, then editor
and publisher Of the Pomeroy Re-
publican, with the idea in mind
that some day maybe it would be
discovered.
The copy Of the paper, believed
to be one Of only two such copies IN
existence today, was brought to
Pomeroy by Oscar Koenig, of Sc
attic, Saturday.
Ralph Reed adds some history
to this story: The press was
brought to Kennewick for e. p.
Green in 1902. On it was printed
the first copy Of the Columbia
Courier, by Green, founder and
publisher of that publication,
which later was merged with the
Kennewick Reporter.
According to Reed, the press
was hauled to Kennewick by l..
la. Moore from Salem, Oregon.
Moore reported that the press had
come to Salem from Sacramento,
California. Reed insists that his
facts are correct because there de-
veloped considerable controversy
over the matter because It took
Moore some six years to collect
the SIS he charged for his serv-
ices. -
How the press got to Sacra-
mento from Pomeroy, il It did, Il
