are to be laid at once which will
cover the principal streets of the
town.
1t is as yet undecided whether a
reservoir will be built, using the
natural reservoir site on the hill
west of town or stand pipe erect
ed near the pumping station high
enough to give the same pressure
as from the reservoir. The grant
ing ordinance requires the pressure
aforde by an elevation of at least
90 feet above the level of the town.
Wood & Cochran will personally
supervise the work of putting in
the intake and the building of the
reservoir. The contract for dig
ging the trenches and laying the
mains has been let to the National
Wood Pipe Co., of Olympia, who
will lay their own pipe. The ma
terial to be used is an 8-inch iron
bound wooden pipe, guaranteed to
last IS years. The representative
of this company, Mr.. Sheldon, has
been on the ground and is already
familiar with the local situation.
Nixon & Kimball have the con-
tract for the entire work of install
ing the electric light plant. This
part of the work will take the least
time to complete. 1t is calculated
that it will be completed within 10
weeks. The primary wires or cables
will cost about $4,000. No esti-
mates of cost of dynamos or other
machinery are obtainable at this
time.
Both systems will be completed
and ready for use within three
months.

HITCHCOCK TURNS ROSS DOWN.

Secretary of the Interior Hitch
cock has rendered his decision dis
allowing the States claims to the
Carey lands. This removes the last
obstacle to government irrigation
in the Yakima valley. Extra gangs
of men are now at work on the
construction surveys. Meetings
will soon have to be held to form
water users associations.

BAND MATTERS BOOMING.


Last nights band practice was
highly encouraging. Three new
members, were on hand and one OF
two of the older members, who
have been out of town, were back
to help out. New music is being
rehearsed with a view of giving
Kennewick people some "good
stuff" in open-air concerts this
summer.
New musicians are sure to be
constantly coming to town and
under the efficient leadership ol
Prof. Jauslin the prospects are
good for a rattling fine band in
Kennewick this season.
The boys are to have the Orig.
inal Dixie Jubilee Singers here or
March 10 and this concert should
be largely attended. 1t will be the
best thing in the musical line that
Kennewick is likely to hear iu
many day. Get your reserved
seats at once.

DONATIONS FOR CEMETERY.

DONATIONS FOR CEMETERY.
Inasmuch as the members of the
Cemetsry Association of Kennewick
find they have some debts to pay,
they voted at the last meeting to
appeal to the citizens of Kennewick
in this way. Many of the business
men have as, erted their willingness
to give to the association and they
are begged to give their donations
to Mayor Sheppard who has kindly
offered to receive them, thereby
saving the ladies the unpleasant
task of personal soliciting.
Mrs. Amy M. Bartlett,
Secretary.

CONTRACT LET FOR MILWAUKEE,

CONTRACT LET FOR MILWAUKEE,.
The Chicago, Milwaukee & St.
Paul railroad has just awarded the
largest single contract for railroad
work ever let in the United States
to one firm.
Mcintosh Bros, of Milwaukee,
says the St. Paul News, will build
this roads extension to the Pacific
coast, a distance of 1900 miles.
from Evarts, S. D., to Seattle, in
addition to 400 miles from Cham
berlain, S. D., connecting with the
line to the coast at either Miles City
or Camp Cook, on the Northern
Pacific in Montana.
Lines of railroad just as long as
this have been built before, but the
contracts for them have been let
in sections.
The officials of the road hope to
have the line finished in three
years, but it may take FIVE years
before connections are established
With the coast steamers. Parts of
the road can be built for $40, 900 a
mile, across the Dakotas, where
the work will be done principally
with teams. In the Rockies, how
ever, small army of laborers will
be needed, and SO great is the pro-
ject that there will be employment
for year or two for practically all
the idle common labor which it will
be possible to obtain. The average
cost per mile of the line is estimat-
ed at $4,000.

mo ONE SHOT (
BY SOLDIERS
STORIES OF SUMMARY EXECU-
TIONS WERE FALSE
SO SAYS THE CORONER
Military Is Now Wedding Out the
Grafters-Frisco Will Retain
Steamship Lines.

San Francisco, May S.-The rec,
ords of Coroner Walsh disprove the
widely circulated stories that large
numbers Of people were shot and
killed by soldiers during the great
fire that followed the earthquake. OF
all the cases handled by this official
and his deputies in only one was il
found that death was due to gunshot
wounds. The exception was Heber
Tilden, killed by a civic guard, who
had the mistaken idea that the auto
mobile in which Tilden was riding
was being used FOR looting.
"My Office has reports showing
1853 deaths, Coroner Walsh said to-
day.
"ln the time of great excitement
we heard of many cases of shooting
but the fact that we never got the
bodies convinces me that the stories
were false. In all our 1853 cases, with
the exception mentioned, death was
due to one of three causes-frac-
tured skull, crushing of the body, OF
asphyxiation.
"An important conference devoted
ito the problem of outstanding food
supplies was held at the Preside to-
day. Among those in attendance
were General Funston, General Gree
ly, DR.. Draine, and Allan Pollak
The situation as made public during
the committee meeting last Thursday
was discussed in all its details and
all present agreed that rigid econ
omy should be practiced in future
distribution. At the conclusion of
the conference General Greedy said
"The condition of the food supply
will render it possible to issue very
little except -four, which will last
ten days, potatoes, coffee and rice

purchase of supplies, and | may state
that the money allotted to my use is
gone for the same purpose. II has
been agreed that the supplies now on
hand must be carefully husbanded in
order that they may be diverted into
the proper channels for as long a
period as possible We are issuing
but two-thirds of the quantity of
food that was distributed prior to
the time the regular army took charge
of the system. The teams engaged
in hauling and distributing have been
reduced from 500 to 262.
"The last of the reports showed
that supplies were issued ON Thurs
day to 26l, 900 people, | hope that
today's report will show rations is
sued to less than 100000.
"The census of each district is be-
ing carefully computed. | am CON
vinced that there is regular repeat
ing and since thousands of men are
reported to have obtained employ
ment there should be a material re-
duction in the number of those en-
titled to relief, | am willing to put
on the screws and diminish the food
supply at any time, but | shall not
take such step until | am advised
by the committee.

BIG GEOLOGICAL EXHIBITION
With the Brundage & Fisher Amuse.
ment Company.

The geological exhibition in con-
nection with the Brundage &Fisher
Amusement Co., who furnish the at
fractions for the spring carnival, is
said to contain a splendid collection
of all earth IS most curious creatures.
1t being one of the grandest and most
instructive geological exhibitions car
ried by any tented enterprise, espec-
tally so does this apply to carnival
companies. 1t is place where a
profitable hour may be spent
with the majority of the noted deni-
zens of the earth, sea and air. This
department is in charge of Col. 7. E.
Kinkade, a gentleman who has for
years devoted his life in the study of
the wants, care and customs of the
wild animal family. Col. Kinkade,
it can be honestly stated, has this
season the greatest gathering of rare
wild beasts, queer quadrupeds, costly
birds and strangest living creatures
ever seen outside the larger ZOOS.
This collection contains variety of
animals from the frigid zone to the
tropic climes, containing a vast and
costly collection of carnivorous, her
bivorous and amphibious subjects, all
properly classified, comprehensively
displayed, and so intelligently ex-
hibited that the smallest child can
easily see and readily comprehend
them all. If you fail to take in the
900" you will certainly miss a
great treat.
The show train will arrive here
some time Monday, May Ia, continu-
ing until Saturday night, May 10,
giving two shows daily.

HOW JAPS KEEP STRONG.
World Readers Can Learn Something
of Value from This.

Such thing as weakling is hard
ly known in Japan. The wonderful
endurance of the japanese soldiers
in the recent war has been the marvel
Of all nations. Both men and women
are well, happy and strong.
The reason for this, so careful in
vestigators tell us, is that the Japan
ese from childhood up know how to
keep well through care of the diges-
tive system. If they have trouble with
Indigestion, heartburn, wind on the
stomach, loss of appetite, sleepless-
ness, headaches, rheumatic pains, back
aches, or any Of the other troubles
caused by weak stomach, they treat
themselves with some Of the principal
remedies that compose Mi-o-na, a
stomach remedy that has already a
large sale in Tulsa at the Shackle
Drug store.
SO uniformly successful has the
remedy been in curing all stomach
troubles where it is used in accord
ance with the simple directions given
with each box, that the Shackle Drug
company gave a signed guarantee with
every so cent package to refund the
money If Mi-o-na fails IN hapafit
They take all the risk. If you have
any stomach weakness, are nervous
or fear that some articles of food will
cause trouble and Indigestion, here IS
the opportunity to get we'll without
risking a cent. Those who use Milo
ma are able to eat anything digestible
without fear Of i'll results.

NOW DIVING FOR sPoNoEs
New Method in Obtaining Product Is
Looked Upon by Experts as

The practicabilityof the method

in the sponge industry in procur

the Tarpon Springs vessels on the
Florida coast, are changing from
the old method Of hooking to the
new one of diving.
In order successfully TO accom-

accustomed to the work, as il
seemed doubtful whether many OF
Of those who have followed ths
hooking process would care TO dor

But recent experiments by q
few have demonstrated that a lit

proficient in this line, and the
probabilities are that in the near

catch will be obtained in this man

INDIANA's MAGNETIC FIELD.
Piece Of Ground in Lake County Seems
to Draw Storms to That
Section.

A mysterious magnetic field II
the southwestern part of Lake
county is attracting no little at
tention among local scientific
minds and arousing much interest
because of queer pranks cut up by
lightning in that neighbOrhood
relates the indianapolis News
The territory covered by the
strange and weird electrical man
ifestations embraces only few
square miles in West Greek town
ship, one of the south tier OF
townships, and is located a few
miles north of the great Kanka
kee marshes.
More havoc is created annually
in this one spot, with a radius OF
less than two miles, than in any
other four counties in this part oi
the state.
Every thunderstorm in this vi
cinity is sure to pass over the spot
no matter in what direction the
wind may be, and its passage is
sure TO be marked by terrific
bursts of lightning.
At night time the displays arc
at times grand and magnificent,
yet terrifying to the brayest heart
and extremely dangerous. Bolt
after bolt of molten fire is shot
from heaven 10 earth, lighting the
country up for miles with a daz-
zling glare of light. So much hay
oc has been wrought by lightning
that some insurance companies
refuse risks in the district and
others are about to impose addi-
tiOnal rates to cover the extra
cost.
Four large hay barns within a
half-mile radius were struck just
the other day and burned, causing
a loss of 81. 200. Only one of these,
that of Henry Brant, was insured,
and it only for about one half its
value. The others, belonging to
Nolney Foster. William Hatton
and James HAYDEN. were unin-
Sured.

have been killed and there is not
a building or a tall tree that does
not bear evidence of the destruc,
tive forces of natures electrical

Cured in the last three years and
every inhabitant Of the spot has
felt the lightning force to a great
er or less degree. 1t is said that a
wireless telegraph would be mop
eratiye and messages intercepted
by the weird forces that seem to be
concealed in the ground. Even in
fair weather telephone system
using the ordinary grounded wire
is useless and even a metallic cir
cult is operated with difficulty.
Many theories are advanced
but the most plausible one seems
to be that a large body of strong
magnetic ore crops oG6 near the

ory is that large body of mete
