Clias. H.Collins, H. E Johnson and

t lie up-river points and get acquaint
ed with the peoole and exptess ai
preciation of their business and as
sure them of co-operation in develop

Finley Club Meeting and Social.
All the people of Finley and vi
cinity attended the Club meeting
and sociable given by the Ladies'
Aid Society at the Finley School
house last Saturday evening, and
there was a good representation
from Kennewick. The meeting
was called to order by President S.
H. Godfrey, and L. B. Simmons
was secretary. The harmonious
spirit and enthusiasm to promote
the development of the Finley coun
try was set forth in speeches by L.
Hedington, Geo. E. Finley and
other members of the Club.
A short recess was taken to per
mit H. B. Haney, F. E. DeSellem
and others to arrange additional
seats and benches so tbat most of.
the crowd could be seated. The
speech making was then resumed
and the visitors called on. Attor
ney C. O. Anderson gave a strong
address on broad lines, pointing
out the stragetic location of the Val
ley at the junction of the Snake and
Columbia rivers, which all men
from the time of Lewis and Clarke
down to the present time had re
garded as the location of a large
city and center of trade. The man
agers of the transcontinental rail
ways see it and their lines are al
ready building or are headed for
this gateway. The opening up of
China and the Orient to modern
commerce will play an important
part in the development of this re
gion, which is destined to be one of
the most populous and wealthy in
the country. Scott Henderson, G.
E. Hanson, O. W. Rich, Miller
Cooper, and L. W. Soth also spoke
briefly on the same general theme
of the advantages and development
of the country along permanent and
stable lines,
Mr. Finley read a letter which
was supposed to be mailed to H.A.
Hover, in Egypt on the Nile at
some future time. In this highly
imaginative account of Finley Val
ley growth was interwoven some
very substantial facts as well as
shrewd allusions to recent local his
tory and the letter was enjoyed by
all.
Piesident G. M. Hellar, of the
Washington Realty Co., owners of
the Finley townsite, of Tacoma, was
next called on and his remarks were
listened to with the closest atten
tion. The company would assist
in the movement toward securingja
town hall by giving two lots as a
site for the structure. The com
pany would also give a site for a
new store building and a site for the
first 'church building and would
give one lot, providing the builder
would purchase one, to the first
five who would agree to put up sub
stantial residences. He added $25
to the fund of which the com
mittee had solicited to be expended
for printed matter to advertise Fin'
ley and the Valley.
George E. Finley, chairman of
the committee having in charge the
negotiations with the N. P. Irriga
tion Co. to get an additional lateral
, put in which would irrigate the
townsite and lands adjacent thereto
reported that Company s reply to
the petition was favorable but it
was now up to the land-owners
along the proposed lateral. If they
i would agree to buy water rights for
! the land the Company would put in
the lateral.
Supper was now announced and
each confidentially informed the j
other "That what I came for —"i
1 and everybody proceeded to do am",
! pie justice to the substatial foods
and toothsome delicacies which the }
ladies had prepared in great abund
ance.
