Finding Kennewick on the Yellowstone Trail

Kennewick is now officially on the transcontinental route for automobile tourist travel and the motorist is given the choice of two ways to get here. He may cross the Columbia at Wallula and come up on this side of the river or he may cross the Snake River at Burbank and come to Kennewick via Pasco. W. Warwick, representative of the Yellowstone Trail association, expressed great surprise at finding more than half a dozen houses in Kennewick, as he was told in Walla Walla that Pasco was a thriving little city of 4,000 or 5,000 people and Kennewick was a small farming village. The village idea was still further enlarged upon by certain of the Pasco boosters until he fully expected to find no more than a blacksmith shop, a store, a post office, and half a dozen dwelling houses. Warwick has traveled 18,250 miles in his Metz roadster, placing signs that allow the tourist to follow the road without the constant use of a guide book. He says that next year the markings of the trail will probably be made permanent.
