displayed photograph of bass
caught by himself, without the aid of
landing net, weighing exactly seven
pounds. This fish measured 214 inches
in length and was seven inches deep.
Two other bass caught by the same

weighed ST and4f pounds respectively,
while score Or more sent the indica-

Sank Centre may we'll boast OF her
fishing grounds, for they are not only
numerous, but very productive. The
Birch lake group, Big Birch, Middle
Birch and Little Birch. twelve, ten and
eight miles from the city, always send
the fisherman home with goodly
catches. They abound with bass, pike
and pickerel. Sank lake is well
stocked with the same varieties as is
also Fairy lake, three and half miles
distant from the city. Cedar lake
contains no pike, but besides innum-
cradle bass, some muscallonge, Long

''The Kennewick district is bound
to become one of the greatest fruit

two weeks in advance of any other

will advance the district to the front
as a fruit country. We are within
five hours ride of Spokane, big

A. F. ALEXANDER RETUNS HOME
Has Sent Five Months in Eastern
and Southern States Visiting and
Studying Conditions.

A. F. Alexander returned to Walla
Walla yesterday after five months
absence spent principally in touring
through eastern and southern states.
Several weeks were spent at hrs olu
home at Statesville, N. c., and at At
lanta, Ga. This was Mr.. Alexander's
first visit home after nearly 20 years
absence and he returned to Walla
Walla much pleased with his trip.
Twenty years is long time for Il
man to be away from his home, and
of course many changes have taken
place in that time" he said this morn
ing. Eat my old town there have
been many changes of such char
acter that it has become apparent
that the south is gradually forcing
her way into the commercial business
Of the north. What was a little I'M
interesting town when l lived there
is now a bustling manufacturing town
giving employment to many people,
since I was there two large cotton
manufacturing plants, steel and roll
Ter mills, factories for manufacturing
fine furniture and many other indus
tries have been established and are
running to their fullest capacity. The
south possesses many advantages in
competing win northern manufac-
turers. In the manufacture of cot
ton goods, and fine furniture especial
/ ly the southern manufacturer has q
natural advantage in that his raw
material lies right at his very door.
This with cheap labor, which he is
able to employ, places the southern
manufacturer in a very advantageous
position for competing with his north
FERN rival. Ample railroad and steam
ship facilities give him a chance to
market his product to- advantage. and
the result is that the south is rap.
idly cutting into markets formerly
supplied exclusively by northern
manufactures" o.

Surprise for Athena.

Athena Press: Until recently it
was the supposition that Athena own
ed her water power; but from the
standpoint taken by the O. R. & N.
Co., she does not, for according to the
claims OF the company, the tower
stands on railroad ground. Likewise.
it was the supposition that Third,
Fourth AMI Fifth streets, running
north and south, and Garfield stree.
running east and west, were open
and were liable to such Improvement
as the street and public Improvement
committee of the city council mighc
see fit to order. But it is merely a
supposition and has been 30 since
1887 for, according to o. r.. & N. ON
Gals. in that year these streets north
of the railroad were vacated by petit
ton and the property reverted to the
company.

KennewiCk Has Natural Ad-
.vantages for a Good Town
PRESIDENT HOVER HERE TO-DAY
Says Northern Pacific Is Behind the
Town and Future Growth Prom
ises to Be Phenomenal.

That Kennewick enjoys every nat
.ural advantage of becoming one of
the best towns in the state is the op-
timistic view of H. A. Hover, presi-
dent of the Kennewick Land COM
pany, who is in Walla Walla today
on a short business and pleasure trip.
Being right on the spot and associat-
ing with those interested in seeing
the new town advance, Mr. Hover is
in a position to accurately gauge the
future growth of the town, which, he
declared in an interview this morn
ing, gives promise Of being phenom-
enal
This forecast is based on the nun.
Der of monoyed men already inter
ested in the new town, the demand
for land under the ditch and the
launching of new irrigation projects
which will open up at least 10000
acres of land in addition to that al
ready reclaimed by the Kennewick
ditch.
THE people behind the future OF
Kennewick are. men of push, brains
and money and If any town ever en-
joyed such advantages it is surely
Kennewick," President Hover said
this morning. "The Northern Pacific
is DESTROYS Of placing the town in ar
important position on the commercial
map of the state and every energy II
being bent toward that end. Two en-
tire new irrigation projects are vel
under way and work on at least one
the Peninsula ditch, will probably be
commenced within so days. This
ditch will reclaim something like
$4,000 acres tributary to Kennewicl
from which the town will derive un
told benefits. Water Is to be takez

CAS- to the slot machine question,
wish to state that money machines,
to my knowledge, are not running
anywhere in this state at present.
while trade machines, or the so-called
card-slot machines, are running in a
good many places, also in Seattle.
Some time ago the state association
started test case in this county.
with the object in view to exclude tho
trade machines from the felony gambl-
ing act, inasmuch as misdemeanor
law was also passed at the last legis-
lative session making the running Of
slot machines q misdemeanor o6ense.
punishable by a fine of from SO to
500. Our object was to compel the
running of the merchandise machines
to come under the misdemeanor law
rather than under the felony statute.
1--WE won the case. That Is, Judge
Bell declared the trade machines do
not come under the felony act, but do
come under the misdemeanor law.
Machines in this city (Seattle) are run
under the fine system. That is, ev-
cry man who operates one of these
card machines is fined SO every four
months. You understand you must
get the consent Of the authorities, city
as well as county, to agree to some
such fine system, otherwise, It would
not be profitable to run machines, In
asmuch az they may fine you SIS or
500 every time a complaint is made
and conviction secured. In other
words, it is all up to your local au-
thorities, whether they want such ma
chimes to run or not. 81.
II trust you will be able to keep
your boys in line. It is the only way
to success"
Immediately on the receipt of this
letter here, a meeting of the local
lodge was called. It ID understood
that at this meeting it will be decided
whether the saloon men villa form
themselves into law and order com

STATE LIQUOR LEAGUE
TO TAKE 4 HAND
In the Sunday Closing Fight at Wen.
atchee-A Letter From the
Secretary.

Wenatchee, Oct. 19.-The plot
thickens in the Sunday closing fight
that is being made in this city by the
local lodge Of the Liquor Dealers
Protective Association OF the state OF
Washington. It has now developed
that the state association of which j.
w. Morrison, of Seattle, rs president,
is about to take hand. A letter re-
ceived here today shows this conclu-
sively. 1t is from Arthur Gerbel, sec
rotary of the state association. who
very plainly states that the whole ma
chinery of the state association win
be brought to the aid of the local
lodge. The letter, addressed to J.. D.
Cass, secretary of the Wenatchee Ii
quor Dealers association, is as fol-
lows: !.
Your favor of October 10 has been
received. Having had the state con.
ventiOn of our association on my
hands l have not had time to answer
your letter before now. notice what
you say In reference to being closed
up on Sunday, and want to say that
in every case we have had in this line,
where demand was made on the sa-
loon men to close UP on Sunday, we
advised the local associations to en-
force the Sunday closing law against
every business house. You can easily
do it, because it was done in Cheha-
lis, Centralia, Vancouver and What
com, and every time it il done this
Sunday closing proposition becomes
a farce and lasts about two weeks or
so.
"Of course, when, as you state, q
demand is made on every business
house to close up on Sunday In Wen.
atchee, the saloon men have mo
grievance, that is not any more than
the rest of the business people. But
you will find out, In due time, that
the sentiment against Sunday closing
will. become so strong in your town IA
to create a reactiouary agitation in q
comparatively short time. ALI /
would ask you to do - to observe the
law as long as the other business men
are observing it and play q waiting
game. and I assure you it will not be
q long one. OF course, at any time Of.
flcials will try to discriminate against
the liquor men, the state orsanizatiol
