Townspeople Back
Highlanders in
High Line Unit
C.‘ of C. Pledges Funds to
Aid Special Committee
, in Their Work
The Kennewick chamber of com
merce this noon renewed its pledge
of support to the Kennewick High
line Irrigation project. A partial
payment will be made- on account
today, according to a motion made
this noon at the meeting of the
board of directors.
’ Several years ago When the pro
ject was a live issue, the business in
i terests in town contributed between
three and four. thousand dollars to
further the project. At the present
time, the committee estimates a
need for about six hundred dollars.
While the club some time ago
agreed, -to underwrite this sum, the
matter has been dormant until to
day. Now that the committee
working for the project has pro
gressed to the stage where the pro
ject can be reopened, the need for
cash has developed.
The Highlanders are pledging a
substantial sum for the purpose and
the townspeople are backing them
in their project and have already re
ceived definite information that the
1 matter will receive the attention of
the reclamation department.
A group of engineers was here to
day to make preliminary arrange
ments for conducting the soil sur
vey in the immediate future. ‘
The project calls for putting wa:
ter on some 25,000 additional acres
above the present Highlands pump-1
ing plant. Two plans are under
consideration—the old highline plan
which called for diverting the water
at the Prosser dam, siphoning it
under the Yakima river near Ben
ton City, and then pumping part of
it with the power so generated, to
the higher land on the south side of
the river, down to the present
Highlands boundaries
The plan now most favored is to
pump direct from the river with
power secured from Coulee. Which
or these plans is most feasible will
be determined by the present in
vestigation. ‘
Didja Ever Eat
Buffalo Meat?
Most of our westerners aren’t—
they’re transplanted Easterners. A
real Westerner, probably, would get
no kick .out of eating buffalo meat,
but to many of us such a chance
should prove to be a thrill. '
The chance is here. for in Mc
.Donald’s ad this week buffalo meat
is being advertised. Mr. Mitchencr
has a stock on hand and already a
few natives havehtried the delicacy”
Easterners, too, ave had the same‘
opportunity, but there they really
paid far the privilege, the meat re
tailing for as high as $1.25 a pound
‘ last holiday season.
i The meat comes from the govern
ment reservation in Montana, taken
from calves killed to prevent the
herd becoming too large. The meat
from the buffalo is well flavored and
considered by many people better
than the best beef—it is delicious
and in great favor among the most
critical. _
Buffalo or Bison for centuries was
the outstanding big gameof North
America. The species is believed to
have arrived on this continent from
Asia by the northland route. dur
ing the mid-Pleistocene or inter-
Glacial period.
The Buffalo roamed throughout
the West in great armies—some his
torians record bands of countless
thousands moving forward on a
front of twenty-five miles in width
and fifty miles in depth. The In
dians conserved the Buffalo killing
only as required for hk own actual
uses. which include food, clothing
and shelter. With the arrival of the
white man with more efficient wea
pons a. disastrous inroad on the
species vbegan. Thousands upon
thousands were slaughtered for the
mere pelasure of killing.
In 1875 Buffalo were very plenti
ful—by 1885 they were growing
scarce—and by 1890 they were prac
tically gone.
To Michael Pablo a shrewd half
breed of Western Montana belongs
the credit of conserving and pre
venting the extinction of the breed
in the far Northwest. From an or
iginal nucleus of four calves cap
tured on the plains he laid the foun
dation for the present herd on the
Flathead Indian Reservation in
Western Montana.
St Paul’s Guild will meet Thurs
day, March 7 at 2 o'clock with Mrs.
M. G. Helm.

Outlook for Construction
Brighter Now Than
Ever Before
Last Friday a committee repre
senting the Kennewick Irrigation
District project met with the Col
umhia oasin Committee of the Spo
kane Chamber of Commerce at the
Mandarin room in the Davenport
Hotel. The Kennewick delegation
had been invited to attend the meet
ing to explain the Kennewick Dis
trict. its purposes and advantages.
Approximately thirty business and
proteasional men from Spokane were
in attendance at the meetinc. at
which time it was pointed out that
the favorable climate makes it poe
ubie to produce two cash crops on
nually on the farm around Kenne
wick. which is something that no
ather locality in the state is able to
o.
The high quality of the soil in the
Kennewick District was also point
ed out as an advantage. Due to
the fact that no storage water will
be needed for the Kennewick Dis
trict. since the return flow to the
Yakima River above Prosser is sut
ticient to more than amply supply
the three lower projects. it was
pointed. out that it could easily be
inciutded in the proposed develop
