TO REBUILD ACADEMY.
Kennewick to Have a $4,000 Building
IN Place of the One Burned.

1t is now practically settled that Il
new academy is to he built at Kcnnc-
wick. in many respects far superior to
the one which was burned few weeks
ago, says the Pasco Express.
Mr.. and Mrs. Kitten started in the
matter OF establishing high grade
school at Kenncwick, with more than II
momcntary enthusiastic emotion. 1t is
now almost certain that early this sea
son work will be commenced by them on
Il magnificent building of stone or brick
to cost at least $4,000. 1t will proba-
bly, be built ON IL more desirable site
than the building which burned. The
academy. although starting in midWin-
ter, had already achieved success far
beyond the expectations of its promot-
ers, for this year. 1t i. hoped that Ken
ncwick and the surrounding country will
give all the encouragement possible to
Mr. and Mrs. Kitten in their effort. TO
perpetuate the institution.
