The dreamers spent their money
to build streets, lay water lines,
establish water supply for the
town. To build fifteen room
hotel, a store building.
Although the Columbia River
Dam was in their minds, they
were counting on waters from the
Klickitat River to irrigate their
fields-to found their prosperity
Lots-both for homes and bust
nesses- selling at fantastic
prices throughout the United
States.
Then the dream fell desperately
i'll and lapsed into coma that had
the appearance of death itself.
The waters of the Klickitat
could not be put on their lands
Evaporation alone would spend II
before it reached the fields II
was to water.
The dreamers had outreached
themselves like the gallant, price
less fools they were. And all
men knew them for fools.
Everyone but the dreamers
knew the dream was dead. The
hotel, the pumping plant, the
store building, the very streets
vanished. The dream, the wise
ones knew, was dead. Many
people lost their money.
But the dreamers held on. By
1925, they had a champion.
Charles E. McNary gentleman
and senator of Oregon. He fought
for and won the dream he could
not live to see born.
On Tuesday, his widow will
turn the first spade of earth that
will begin construction of the Nc
Nary Dam.
The eyes of men are examining
the old plat of Plymouth again.
The very plat, thte very dream
that died so many years ago. The
streets are building again. The
buildings are going up. The To-
cation of the old water lines is
being sought. The very lots that
sold the first time are being sold
again. And at the same prices.
It's the dream that wouldn't
die.
Listen to Biddy Doyle of Ply
mouth. Biddy Doyle, who came
to Plymouth in 1919, leaving his
job as fire captain in Seattle,
bringing his wife and family to
Plymouth, where he wouldn't
have payday until he made a
crop.
To Plymouth, where a dream
lay buried.
It's taken a long time, Biddy
Doyle. You've been a long time
waiting. But your dream will be
born next Tuesday. At Umitilla,
Oregon.
"And the most ungrateful

Dream that Wouldn't Die /.

once it was born into reality, and
it begat dreams down through the
generations of Americans. Dreams
of empire, dreams of commerce.
dreams of bounteous fields and
bounteous harvests. Dreams OF
happiness. Dreams of freedom
They're expecting the arrival OF
a dream Tuesday at the Umatilla
Rapids on the Columbia River.
It's been a long time abornins
and this is the story of its con-
ception and its birth.
They're going to call it the Nc
Nary Dam. When its grown il
will span the Columbia from
Washington to Oregon.
Like it's ancester-the great
American Dream-it had lots OF
trouble finding life.
There's q. plot of ground in
Washington called Plymouth. II
isn't a town, it never has been
town. 1t isn't anything-yet. II
isn't anything except dream that
wouldn't die!
John and Jade Switzler came to
Plymouth about 1880. They were
brothers engaged in the business
of raising and selling horses, they
didn't know there would ever be
a Plymouth.
That came later after the Swift
lers and the other early settlers
had survived the seasons, the
hazards of their occupation, and
the Indians.
BY 1905, the dreamers had ar
rived. And there was Plymouth
every bit of it on paper.
Lets build a dam across the
Umatilla Rapids" they said. "A
dam that will provide power, in
crease the navigability of the
river, and irrigate our SOIL"
"And beside it," they said.
"we'll build Plymouth-the gate
way from Horse Heaven to the
river and the coast"
The land had already been SUR
veyed by the u. S. Army Engi-
neers. They knew how fertile
was this thirsty waiting soil.

just past his firm had manufac-
tured more than IL, 900 linear feet
of ladders, which were sold to
ranchers and fruit growers In
Kennewick and neighboring COM
munities. Buying steel and gal
vanized iron by the ton, bolts by
the thousand, and lumber in large
shipments made the mill one of
Kennewick's busiest and most
valuable factories.
The Highlands Improvement
club donated the entire net pro-
ceeds of the dance the last Satur-
day night of each month to the
Commercial club fund to be used
in advancing the construction
date of the High Line canal.
The Skaggs-Safeway store will
occupy the new building erected
next to the Beste Building on
Kennewick Avenue. The an
nouncement came from H. 5.
Tucker, local district manager,
who pointed out that the advent
of this store into Kennewick
meant that the city had received
signal recognition as distributing
center and strategic commercial

area speech contest in Richland
Sunday night. The subject mai
Ter is of such wide interest here
that Clark agreed to its publ

The contest.)

ourselves and our poSterity dc
ordain and establish this consti-
tuition for the United States OF
America"
With these words the. founders
of our nation gave reality to a
perilous and seemily Impossible
vision that was to become the
great American dream.
And it was to be dream that
would father others and still
others until it altered the world
But at birth it was only a
dangerous and incredible longing
for a new and greater freedom in
the minds of the men who con-
ceived 1t. And many good men
many good women-shunned il
because If the unborn dream mis-
carried it would cost its support
ers all they possessed even unto
their lives.
And so many good people hated
the dream for the danger that
was in it, while a little handful
Of gallant men who dared dream
endured the suffering and the
conflict that brought it labourine
life.
Then there were many gooc
people who rushed forward to la,
claim to a portion of its parent.

thing of all", says Biddy Doyle,
sis that the people who have
called me fool these many years,
say now-you're a lucky man,
Biddy Doyle J.
It's the dream that wouldn't
die.
There'll be others. And fools to
dream them. And wise practlcal
people to describe their insanity
and predict their failure.
But they'll be born. =.
The great American dream, It's
progeny and its unborn progeny
will live. Mark my words, they
will live!
God willing, with your faith
and my faith to nuI.ure them
these mighty gallant dreams Will
never die.
