pearance even though 1t is not one of the
strictly up-to-date red devils
The mechanical drawings on exhibition
were regarded as especially good, showing
that the students had exercised much care
and skill Some of these are most comp1-
Gated The other art work is also of much
interest and visitors were forcibly struck
by the excellence of the work In applied
design An unusually interesting feature
of the exhibit was the finished article in
wood, iron wax, placed beside the draw
ing from which it was made.
The girls department on the top floor was
crowded during the afternoon and evening
Here the young ladies are taught to cook,
wash dishes set table and serve meal
do laundry work, make beds, attend to Or

things that good housekeeper should

Every shrewd newspaper reader,
especially the ladies', readily ac-
knowledge that the real news that
affects the pocketbook is found in
the advertisements of the local
merchants. The merchant who
advertises is a reporter. He re-
ports to the newspaper what he has
to offer and it is real news. If
some merchant is making great
run on shoes and selling them that
is news to every person who needs
shoes. If another is offering spec
ial bargains in overcoats underwear
corsets, hats, furniture, carpets,
dress goods, groceries, coal or wood
stoves or anything family needs,
why it is news that means money
to every family and the people
know it. That's why the merch-
ants advertise in the newspapers.

where you can do the best. You
can find anything you want, within

We have put in the principal
part of this week moving. Our
old quarters had been outgrown
and it was up to US TO find room
for Our INCREASED business. We
found it in the second story of the
Hawkins Block, opposite our old
stand. The work of moving is
now finished and we are settled
down in one of the neatest printing
Offices in this part of the state.
Mr.. Hawkins had the room ar
ranged according to plans furnish
ed by us designed especially for the
housing Of a progressive news
papers plant. The entire flat is
supplied with acetylene gas, the
drops being placed so the light is
delivered where needed. We have
made several additions to the plant,
and others have been ordered and
when installed will give Kenne-
wick newspaper plant as good as
theIe is in the district. We invite
our patrons to call up and see us.

The surveyors have finished
their work on the high line ditch

nelghborhood Of one hundred

now assured that the ditch will be
constructed. The land under this
new ditch is as good as can be
found in the state, and will make
fine fruit farms. 1t is not as early
as the kennewick valley but will
compete with any other section. II

The attention of the Herald is
directed by number Of parties
who have been hunting in i'll strict
accordance with the game laws of
the state to what appears to be at
unwarranted and illegal slaughter
of geese by parties in the lower end
of the county, who are hunting fol-
the Sound markets. In the vicin-
ity of Kiona, it is stated, there are
number of young "sports1nen'
who are disregarding the law in
relation to its limits, and who have
laid themselves liable for violating
the provisions of the state game
legislation. Some of the farmers
in that locality have their names,
and it would not be difficult for
Game Warden Nicol 20 secure the
facts if he were disposed to make
an investigation. In view of all
the complaints that have been
made, looking into these reports
would not be out of place. The
The time for shipping game to the
markets expires on the last day of
November, and a little extra Wig
lance just at this time might dis
close further violations. Not only
the farmers in the locality NEIL
toned but hunters who come from
a distance, each hoping to secure a
few geese or ducks, are loud in
their denunciations of the whole
sale slaughter, and several of these
have suggested that it might be
well for the game warden of the
county to appoint deputy OF two

NEWS FROM ALL
THE RAILROADS
Missouri Pacific Adopts The
Stamp System.
FOR IDENTIFYING GOODS
Items of interest About Differ
emf Employees.

Something new among the railroads in
the west is the identification stamp which
has been adopted by the Missouri Pacific.
The object of this stamp is to stop the
endless complications which accompany
the losing of goods along the railroad sta
tons. As a car of goods is unloaded each
package is stamped. The stamp gives
date of receipt, name of station and rail-
road company. and the number of the car,
which enables one to find goods easily
The stamp is known as the Cressler
Identification stamp. 1t is probably the
handiest thing 10 have around a freight
depot and heretofore has only been used
by eastern roads. 1t has proven OF in
valuable service in finding goods that
have been lost by simply looking At the
expense bill and comparing numbers
thereon with stamp marks on packages
Other railroads doing business in Wich-
ita are expected to adopt The same sys-
TEN soon.
