Buy Prosperity.
THE Columbia empire is looking
forward to the development
within its confines of one of the
greatest industrial regions in the
United States. Informed economic
analysts say the trend is inevitable.
With a large percentage of the na
tion's undeveloped hydroelectric
power, and with untold wealth of
hitherto untouched raw prolucts;
with shifting of foreign outlets from
Europe to the Orient, and with the
eastern United States suffering from
congestion, everything points to that
end.
Immediately entering the picture
are the large hydro-electric develop
ments at Bonneville and Grand Cou
lee. These projects are expected to
provide low-priced electrical energy
for many new industries. Again
there is the development of a seaport
a hundred miles further inland at
The Dalles by virtue of the Bonne
ville sealocks. Further development
of the river for low-cost transpor
tation is also imminent.
There is no secret that develop
ment of the Columbia empire has
been retarded by inaccessibility of
markets and high transportation
costs. Our farm products, and es
pecially wheat, have suffered a wide
price discrepancy in favor of middle
western and eastern made and grown
products because of the Rocky
mountain barrier and the additional
cost of getting our products to the
markets in which they have been
forced to compete.
Industrial leaders of this section
believe they have found a way to
at least partially overcome the dis
advantages of the past, and hurry
the way to a realization of the hope
of Bonneville and Grand Coulee.
That way is for Columbia empire
people to "buy their own prosper
ity." By this they mean for our people
to give preference to Columbia em
pire products whenever a purchase
is made. This course will lead to a
greater local market as an outlet for
our own products at a saving of high
transportation costs; it will estab
lish an intensified home outlet for
products of farm, forest, mine and
stream; and it will provide more
jobs to absorb persons now unem
ployed as well as give a greater de
gree of sustenance to a larger num
ber of people in all the trades, arts
And professions.
The fore-visioned men who preach
this doctrine know that a real and
lasting prosperity can only come
through a unification of all forces
working to a single ultimate goal,
the great Columbia empire. Every
one can speed attainment of that
goal by investing now in prosperity
by spending so that he, himself,
will reap a benefit from the profits.
Whatever your need may be, there
is more than likely a Columbia em
pire product to supply it, just as good
as or better than any product made
or grown outside the region.
Let's all buy ourselves some pros
perity. Give G. T. Want Ads a trial.
Don Cowdry took advantage of a
14-day furlough to visit home folks,
arriving Saturday evening after a
29-month stretch in the Hawaiian
islands with Uncle Sam's marines.
He is assigned to the U. S. cruiser
Louisville, now in dry dock at Brem
erton for boiler repairs. He will
join her there at the end of the fur
lough before she leaves to participate
in the annual spring fleet maneuvers
next month.
Since enlisting in the marines
three years ago, Don has seen con
siderable of the world, having vis
ited the east coast by way of the
Panama canal; Alaska, South Amer
ica and many Pacific islands. Twen
ty pounds lost since joining the ser
vice has put him in the best fighting
trim, and he likes it. He has finish
ed a civil service course in pursuit
of his education started in the local
schools and expects shortly to take
up blue print reading.
While on Oahu island he was sta
tioned part of the time at Schofield
barracks near Honolulu, the largest
army barracks in the world, hous
ing some 30,000 service men. It's
a grand sight to see this number out
on dress parade, Don said.
He believed Honolulu to be some
what over publicized as a tourist
attraction, however. The climate is
nice, except for the rainy season,
There are many beautiful flowers
and the cane fields are attractive,
Waikiki beach he compared to the
sidewalk on which he was standing
for width, and it drops off abruptly
The beach is covered with ground
coral, not too easy on the feet and
apt to skin one's nose should he
fall on his face. Prices everywhere
on the island are fixed to accommo
date millionaire incomes, and Jap
anese appear to control business.
The islands suffered from the mar
itime strike, Don said. ' Eggs went
up to $29 a crate and other food
prices in proportion. There was a
famine on potatoes, and all drinks
were made from sour lime because
there were no lemons. He had left
Honolulu before Amelia Earhardt
landed, but the Louisville picked up
her radio reports on the way across.
The most hospitable city visited in
his experience so far was Mobile,
Alabama. There his land party of
a thousand was given the run of
the city and Don believed all he had
heard about southern hospitality. He
said he couldn't quite get over the
fact that his boat had a larger pop
ulation than Heppner, about 1300.
Some of the battleships carry as
many as 1600 persons. As for the
way they are treated, he cited the
astonishment of a southern woman
who visited them while they were
eating Christmas dinner, "Why, they
all eat just like we do."
Just another little angle of marine
life, Don said, was the annoyance by
souvenir hunters. Southern girls es
pecially have a penchant for sou
venirs and will pick up any part of
a marine's equipment if found lying
loose. Caps are especially in de
mand, and Don saw a girl snip a
button off a buddy with a knife on
one occasion, getting away with it
before she could be stopped.
LEXINGTON
By BEULAH NICHOLS
Miss Alberta Faith Fulgham of
Lexington became the bride of Wil
liam Freemont Graves of Kenne
wick, Wash., at a beautiful cere
mony performed on Easter Sunday
afternoon in the Church of the
Nazarene in Kennewick.
Mrs. Graves is a daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Frederick A. Fulgham of
Lexington and was given in mar
riage by her father. Lourene Ful
gham, sister of the bride, was maid
of honor and Ivan W. Graves served
his brother as best man. John Bar
ber of Heppner sang "O Promise
Me."
The bride was lovely in a floor
length gown of white satin and wore
a veil caught with orange blossoms.
She carried a bouquet of carnations
and snap dragons. The maid of
honor wore a blue crepe frock and
carried red and white carnations.
Following the ceremony which was
attended by about two hundred rel
atives and friends, a reception was
held at the home of the bride's
aunt and uncle.
The young couple, graduates of
Kennewick high school, will make
their home in that city where Mr.
Graves is an automobile mechanic,

Congregational Bible schools parti
cipated in the program.
Bill Burchell, member of the Cor
vallis high school basketball squad,

team scored a higher total. The
team, coached by Ed Adams, lost
only two of the twenty-two games
played.

been engaged to play for the dance
