Piccolo Pete &

A crowd of about 200 persons
attended the concert given by
the Kennewick High school band

Prof. Pete Pickleork, peerless

none other than Prof. Robert
Hunsley himself, director of the
band. Pete had a difficult time
getting his instrument in tune,
then when it didn't respond he
broke it over his knee and threw
it into the waste basket.

rigation water forecasts received
at Tinsman's office, revealed that
the snow pack is far above nor

Racing Plant Planned For County Fair
Sheriff's Posse
Gets Land from
City and Henne

Plans for a race track, for
both running and harness races,
to be held during the Benton
County Fair and Grape Festival,
were disclosed at q meeting Of
the city council Tuesday night.
simultaneously, the Sheriff's
Posse, which is backing the race
feature, obtained the right to use
strip of land on the Twin City
Airport tract for constructing the
racing plant.
To 60 with the tracks, Alfred
c. Anon, president Of the Ben
ton County Fair board, announc-
ed that the posse plans to erect
from 80 to 40 stables to accom-
modate the race horses during
the running season. He said il
was not probable that races
would be staged any time except
during the county fair.
1t was said that the posse plans
to bring to Kennewick during the
fair some of the best running,
pacing and trotting horses in the
northwest. 1t is contemplated that
worthwhile prizes will be offered.
Along with this announcement
came one that the fair board
plans an early start on a second
exhibit building for the fair
grounds. One building was erect
ed last fall and held most Of the
grain, vegetable, fruit, and home
economics exhibits. There was
no room for poultry exhibits
under cover, but temporary sheds
were erected for livestock ex-
hibits.
Herb Henne, owner Of the
Twin City Flying school at the
airport, had a lease on the pro-
perty the Sheriff's Posse wanted.
He was at the council meeting
and signed a release which made
it possible for the city council
to turn the land over to the fair
organization.
The fair group has started
planning for the county fair next
fall. Anon said three contractors
have been figuring costs Of the
building project for the racing
plant. ..ars's

John Eubunk in
New lob; to Run

John Eubank, former athletic
director at Junior college in
Yakima, has taken a position
with Modern Home Builders as
their representative for central
Washington.
Eubank, who ran q close race
against Congressman Hal Holmes
last year for the congressional
seat, probably will run for the
Office again in 1850.
He was asked the question in
Kennewick yesterday by Cour-
ier-Reporter representative, and
here was his answer: "Yes, that
is my intention at this time {.
to be a candidate"
Eubank, also has been men
toned as possible candidate for
governor in 1852. He may not be
running in 1850 against Holmes,
who has been rumored as a SEN
atorial post candidate.
Eubank said yesterday that
new modern homes projects
would be started in Ephrata and
Moses Lake April 1. He is MAX
ing his business headquarters in
Kennewick but his family will
reside in Yakima until the end
of the chool term. He resigned
his position with the college last
summer to be a candidate for
congress. g.. ..
He recently was offered a job

letic director but turned it down

BY ROLE ruvE


TAXES
It is apparently case Of mis-
taken identity, but DR.. Paul Stone
has been confused with someone
else who must be tax assessor.
Stone remains as adamant as a
rock in declining any connection,
present, past or future, with the
assessors office. To those who
have been phoning complaints
to him, he wishes to say that he
can do them no good. It is a
God-given right, Stone says land
we might add that the Lord is
backed up by the constitution to
complain about taxes. But he
suggests the complaints be dir
ected where they will do some
good.
oNE.PoINTERS
Pasco's basketball team might
easily be described as the one
pointer boys. Into the state tour
nament as a result Of a one
point victory over Kennewick,
the Bulldogs put up last quar-
ter fight to squeeze by a fast
Overlake squad to win their ini-
tial game by a one-point margin.
But an inch is as good as mile.
In the opening round, fans here
were surprised to see the highly
touted Wa-Hi team lose to Everett
by two points. -. H..
PREJUDICE
With the keen rivalry existing
In sports encounters between
Kennewick and Pasco it is only
natuarl that many Kennewick
fans are not too enthusiastic about
Pasco victories in Seattle. My
argument, that we should be pull
ling 70 Pasco to win the tourna-
ment NEE with for from uni
versal approval. But if Pasco wins
look where that puts the Lions
the team that bear the stae champs

but :" -..--'-. .--s.. ....
STORY OF THE WEEK
On their way home from the
debate tournament in Tacoma,
Kennewick and Yakima boys
were arguing over which OF the
two towns was the best. A Yaki-
ma boy said everybody has money
In Yakima. Jim Taylor of the
Kennewick team countered with:
I'VE have SO much money in
Kennewick that we are having to
build q new bank to hold It."

Saws Bunch, Sr.

No plans have yet been evolved
for the rebuilding Of the ware
house destroyed by fire at the
rear Of the Bunch-Finnigan store
on Avenue G last week.
Fred Bunch, Sr, said last
night all thought and energy
were being devoted 20 the fire
sale Of goods damaged in the fire
which destroyed about $4,000
worth Of stock and buildings.
The rear end Of the main build
ing was severely damaged, but
most Of the damage In value was
to stock.

Businesses Are
Licensed Under
New Ordinance

A new ordinance, on which
councilman Holden has been
working for a year or more, got
its first and second readings at
a city council session Tuesday
night.
The new ordinance sets up Ii
censes for different kinds of bust
ness in the city, apparently ex-
GLIDING nobody. Some businesses
and professions, however, will
pay much heavier licenses than
others if the ordinance goes
through in its present form.
But councilmen said Tuesday
night that it would have to be
worked over before final pass
age. Councilman Fred Bunch
said: "We'u get shot IL we pass it
IN its present FORM"
Bunch jokingly suggested IL
censing preachers but there was
no second to the suggestion.
Under the new ordnance as il
is, they would license the butch
er, the baker and the candlestick
maker. Even the ice man would
nave to pay a license. "A
Publishing firms would have to
pay SIS If they do commercial
printing. The law forbids licens-
ing a newspaper although the or
olnance mentions newspapers.
Pawn brokers would have to
pay SIS q year, solicitors SIS a
Gay, but farmers who sell their
own produce would not be taxed.
Grocery stores, hardware stores,
real estate firms would pay SIS
each, wnlle telephone companies
would pay 500 per year, banks
$50, and card and pool halls
would pay $50.
Bunch also suggested that since
the ordinance was not designed
as a revenue measure, the mon
ey be used to bolster the tire de-
partment. There was some dis
cussion on the question whether
nremen on regular salaries and
working full time would mean
lower insurance rates. Bunch had
just had a disastrous fire which
destroyed $50,O00 worth of pro-
perry.
Olher license fees proposed:
Taverns $500. circuses $50 for
the first performance and $40 for
the second, bowling alleys $40
plus SIS for each alley, dog and
pony shows SIS, ice dealers $40,
insurance dealer $40, jewelry
