CANADIANS ADMIRE
BEAUTY OF WRANGELI

NJ A. Hardie of Yellowknife,
Northwest Territory in Canada,
and Aubrey Simmons. Member of
Parliament. from Whitehorse. were
visitors in Wrangell Monday while
the Princess Norah was in port.
They were guests of Mr. and
Mrs. H. B. Thornquist who showed
the distinguished Canadian visitors
points of interest around town.
Mr.. Hardie and Mr.. Simmons
gave high praise to Wrangell say
ing it was prettiest, cleanest town
they had seen on their tour aboard
the Norah. They were especially
pleased with Wrangell's homes and
gardens. Mr.. Hardie declared that
even his home town of 1890 popu-
lation did not have the attractive
homes which Wrangell, with little
more than half that population
could boast of.
In fact, Mr. Hardie was so taken
with Wrangell that he subscribed
to The Wrangell Sentinel for the
coming year so he could keep in
touch with the town.

suit. over the lien held by the
state on the Kennewick Irriga.
ton district properties, the city
council passed a resolution
Tuesday night authorizing City
Attorney Kenneth E. Serier to

A friendly suit between Jack

and Smith Troy, the attorney
general, has arisen over the lie.
gality of the proposed waiver
of the lien held by Rogers de-
partment.
The question originally arose
when the bond house which
will handle the issue asked to
have the lien cleared up. AS the
matter now stands, Rogers in
his official capacity, has lien
on the KID. This fact makes the
bond house shy away from the
issue.
It was emphasized by Kenne.
wick city officials that the suit
is not testing the legality of the
election or the legality of the
bonds, but only the right of Ro.
gers to release the lien.
If the lien is not released, a
thorough re.study of the acqui.
sition of the KID properties will
have to be made.

FoUr-Lone
Highway


Part of the proposed dik1ng
system, for Benton county, which
will contain the back waters of
McNary Dam, and plans for a
new limited access highway were
discussed Monday by the Corps
of Engineers and the Benton
county commissioners.
Representatives of the state
highway department and Atomic
Energy Commission officials also
attended the meeting.
Jay Perry, Benton county com.
missioner, said Tuesday that the
plans of the army engineers call
for the raising OF two roads,
building q four.lane highway
and installing an extensive dix.
ing system on the Benton side OF
the Columbia river.
Roads that will be raised, said
Perry, are those that extend from
the Richland Y toward Richland
and toward Prosser. The Y road
running into Richland will be
raised, probably the entire road
length to the bridge crossing the
Yakima river.
However, the county commits.
sioner said the. Prosser road
would only have to be elevated
for a short distance where it
is below the anticipated water
level from the back waters OF
the dam. l..
The limited access highway
would start at the Y and go in
a southerly direction across the
irrigation canal and then east
toward Kennewick. The new sup
er.highway will not cross the
railroad tracks.
The highway will return to
the north side of the canal a
short distance from where the
clover leaf, leading to the bridge
will be built. The bridge will be
built on the site originally pro.
posed by the state highway de-.
partment, Perry indicated. This
site is approximately one and
one half miles upstream from
the present bridge connecting
Pasco and Kennewick.
The diking system as ex-
planned by the army engineers to
the group, Perry added, indicated
that the dixie would start just
east of the Giard Lumber COM
pany where highway 40 bends
sharply to the south. The dixie,
from this point would run south
to the canal and then follow the
general line of the canal to a
point near the top of the hill
at Island View.
From that point the dixie would
be q natural one using the line
of the hills and steep banks to
the Y road to Richland. This
raised road would also serve as
part of a diking system.
The Corps of Engineers plan
to secure Immediately the land
in that area near the Y which
will be flooded, Perry said. No
dates were given, he added,
when they plan to acquire the
land along the river road which
will become untenable because
of the waters. l
The general procedure of the
government in such cases is to
acquire the land by condemna-
ton proceedings, if necessary.
