Hurrah For kennewick.

In writing up the base ball game
at Prosser last Sunday between the
Pasco and Prosser teams, the Ex-
press hands Kennewick the follow
ing rosy bunch:
1.-The Kennewick contingent de-
serves honorable mention. A large
crowd went up from there. wearing
badges which Bro. Shaughnessy
had prepared, bearing the inscrip-
ton, THE Twin Cities of The Col
umbia."
The Kennewick band was there,
too, and played the dead March,
about the seventh OF eighth inning,
when Pasco punched some hits and
won. Some of the Kennewick
folks felt so good that they evil
IDENTIFY forgot to leave the train at
that point for they were here with
the Peagreens on its arrival still
shaking hands. Hurrah for Ken
newick!

well known already. What we
should do, though, is to put our
town in a position to attract the
new conner by offering him a beauti-
full town for home and make it an
object for new enterprises to To-
cate here. In the latter connec-
ton we have chance right now
to make a start that will be worth
thousands Of dollars to the town
in years to come. That is the
boat proposition. We want to
have a boat landing located on
this side of the river and spur
built to it from the railroad. That
spur MUST be built on this side of
the river if we have to bond the
town to do it. Nothing that we
will have to consider for years to
come will be of so much import
ance to the town as a whole. If
this is not done the Cello railroad
might as we'll never be built as far
Kennewick is concerned. OF
course few of our merchants who
get goods from Portland may get a
little cheaper rates, but as a town
we will not profit from it. We will
be a way-landing, and that is all.
On the other hand, if you get this
I first spur, which will be the only
one at this point for years to come,
we will be a transfer point for
through freight and all rates will
be made to Kennewick. Ware
houses, coal bunkers, wharves.
offices and numerous other things
necessary to river steamboating
will be located here. and all these
things carry weight with them.
Men must be employed to run them
and these men must live ard hav

In engineering the growth OF a
new town or district, as much care
should be exercised as in raising
stock, or fruit or grain. 1t is
practically the same proposition.
Many a good town has been prac-
tically killed or badly crippled by
ignorance of its promoters, and
many an aggregation of promoters
have gone broke on a good town
booming scheme simply because
they did not spend their money ia
the right place. There is nothing
that calls for so great an outlay of
capital for advertising purposes as
promoting a new western COM
munity. and if one would would
succeed he must give all schemes
fol the expenditure Of this money
close seeming and weigh we'll the
possibility of results. There is no
dearth of fakirs who will presen to
YOU their schemes in the most glow
ing colors, and it is for you to
Judge which are good and which
are worthless. If the people Of new
western towns, especially in irriga-
ted countries, would put their money
into Improvements and enterprises
that bring business to the town
they would always be sure that they
were buying advertising matte,
that would be sure to pay returns.
A town that can offer new corners
somnthing that is not in rival
towns i. sure to become known and
and favorab1y 80. Here in Kenne
wick we have the best new town
proposition on the map and there
is small need at present OF spend
ing money on eastern advertising

homes, Kennewick will be known
throughout the country as princi-
pal river point, as Pasco is known
as railroad point. The company
that is putting in the boat line
only asks for sufficient land on the
river bank on which to erect their
buildings, which should not cost
over five hundred dollars, a mere
pittance in comparison with the re-
turns.

Officers Best in Worl d

plete it and obtain commissions must
have attained standard which other
nations find it impossible, for vari-
ETY. of reasons, to exact. That, even
under our system, we have incompe-
tent officers simply proves that per-
lection has by no means been reached,
and does not alter the fact that our
army is better Differed than any in
the world.
But take Russia, with her vast
standing army of a million and a quar-
ter men, exclusive of supplementary
reserve organizations of even greater
ma gnitude, country where the
masses of the people have almost no
educational advantages, where the
level of intelligence is undoubtedly
lower than in any other great nation,
and how is she to supply her army
with competent officers, in our accep-
tation of the word? She simply can
not. The United States government
would find it equally impossible. with
all our undisputed advantages, to
equip an army of a million men with
officers of the standard of those who
now command our little army.

Many things combine to make the
American officer the best in the world,
writes Thomas F. Willard in Scrib-
ner's. In the first place, there is a
large and intelligent population to
draw upon, an advantage, it is univer-
sally admitted, not equally enjoyed by
any other great nation. Again, owing
to the smallness of our army, the num-
Der of officers to be supplied, in pro-
portion to the total population, makes
possible a care in selection and edu-
cation impracticable elsewhere. Con-
slider how a great majority of officers
in the United States army are OBJ
tanned. Appointments to West Point
are secured, as a rule, only after
competitive examination, in which
number of young men of good ability
and character take part The man
thus selected goes to West Point.
where he must pass a rigid physical
examination before he is admitted.
Then, owing to the exatcing nature
of the curriculum and the severity of
the discipline, a large percentage of
the candidates fail to complete the
four years course. Those who do COM

$50 the Japanese rice growers are
not willing to tackle that interesting
native institution, the American
mule, without the aid of home folk,
said an observant man, land l can
see where they are right about the
matter. The American mule is a long
cared, quick heeled, supple Tinted
mystery, and no man, no matter how
wise he may be, can do anything with
him unless he have special training.
AS a matter of fact, the white man in
America is sadly deficient when it
comes to a working knowledge of the
mule. Up to the present writing the
American negro is the only living per-
son who can claim anything like mas
terry when it comes to the mule. Some
how there is something in the nature
of the black man and the mule which
makes it easier for them to get along.
Just what it is l do not know. But
even the black man will have his ups
and downs now and then with the
mule, and l have seen some very in
tereSting instances of this kind. one of
the most amusing being that of an ex-

japanese and the M III e

tremely hard skulled negro who never
wanted a better weapon tnan his head
in any sort of conflict with man or
beast.
One day he fell out with the mule.
Ordinarily they get along we'll enough
together. But in some way the mule
on the day in question made the ne
gro mad and the fight began. In the
first place the negro broke his water
jug over the mules head. This did
not feaze the animal. Grabbing the
mule by the ears and taking a good,
firm grip, the black man landed with
vigor between the mules ears, using
his head as weapon. The blow was
a knockout blow all right, but the
trouble was it knocked the negro out
also. Both mule and negro fell to the
ground as if dead. In a short while
both were up again and after that
they were fairly good friends. The
Japs are right. They will need spe-
cial training on the mule proposition
and no mistake. and the negro is
about the best man they can get to
do the training.'-New Orleans Times

Just thirty years ago, in 1874. Mr.
Stadden came across the terrapin on
his farm and on the bottom of it's shell
inscribed the date. Every time since
then that he has seen the terrapin he
has cut the date on the shall and the
entries are as follows: In 1874, 1875,
1879, 1880, 1851, 1882 and 1854.
On the latter date Mr.. Stadden car
ried the terrapin to a spot near Ste
phensOns, two and one-haf miles from
home, and turned it loose. Mr.. Stad-

he came across a terrapin. Turning
the terrapin over, he was amazed to

streams, traverse wooded bluffs,
treackerous ravines and cross fields.

make the journey of two and one-half
miles, but, guided by instinct, the lit
