Kennewick Shows EN-

In an editorial on the Palouse
project the Eltopian has the fol-
lowing to say of Kennewick:
Look what irrigation has done
for Kennewick and its surrounding
country, and what it would do for
this county. what was Kenne-
wick four years ago? Nothing
but sage brush and sand hills
what is it now? Ono of the most
thriving towns in the Yakima
Valley. Any of the land in and
around Kennewick could have
been had by the filing upon it.
There were a few enterprising
men who got together, and with
some capital they built a private
irrigation system. In four years
time Kennewick jumped up from
flag station on the N. P. to one
Of the best farming districts in the
state of washington. That is what
irrig gation has done for it.
J They put on the market from
two to three weeks earlier than any
other place in the state, all kinds
of berries and garden stuff. Land
that was sold at $1.25 an acre is
nov worth from $4oo to $1,000 per
acre. More good done by irri-
qation -

Editor Courier,

Dear Sir
Please inform me where may be
found in the valley what you are
won't to call the Finley school
house." And why Finley pray?
1t will hardly be gainsaid that
the writer has prior claim in and
upon the southeast corner of Sec.
~ and where a school building has
been erected OF late, by virtue of
of the fact of his ownership of the
land there "antedating almost the
beginning of time" and long be-
fore the advent Of any other resi-
dent or owner now interested in
that locality, and yet, with the
coming of the ''outlander," less
than a dozen moons ago, he finds
this priority, this tradition, shorn
of every nsideration and, like the
statues of some of our most heroic
in history, become as mocking to
every vandal who haps along from
without the pale Of earlier sympa-
thy, the bond that holds today those
pioneers who first blazed the sage
for you and laid the foundations of
your future.
The "Menhinick" school house;
or you make travesty of reason
and historical precedent, to say
nothing of common sense.
Yours very truly,
A. L. Menhinick.

santa Claus held forth in a most de- Iightful reception on Dexter Avenue yesterday afternoon from o'clock un- til darkness sent his guests to their homes,
 No invitations had been issued for the occasion and that particular recep- tion had not been noted previously as one of the coming events of the week. but probably no reception held in Mont gomery during the season has been more largely attended or more thor ouGhly enjoyed. It was not an ordi- naTy reception, the entire social code being reversed, for the dispenser or hospitality stood on the gallery of the second floor of the Nachman & Nicer tiefs dry goods establishment, and the receiving party was composed of small boys and girls, several hundred strong with eager upturned faces and out stretched, waving hands in the ave" nue below.
 Ana the way those boys and girls shouted at Santa Claus and elamored and fought for the packages of candy that His Majesty threw down into tne surginE crowd, was sight to behld!

SANTA CLAUS THROWS CANDY
 TO CHILDREN ON DEXTER AVENUE

There were hundreds of the little folk of Montgomery in the noisy throng' for the reception lasted through the entire afternoon, and as soon as one crowd passed another took their place ana santa Claus did a thriving busi- ness i'm candy throwing. There were grown people in the receiving party too. but they were only lockers on' ana it sure was great fun. The man or the woman who passed that happy. laugh ing. shouting crowd of children with out stopping to join for moment in the fun was either pressed for time or had lived to forget the time when Co them the Christmas season was the one time of all the year and Santa Claus was the most important parsonage m all the world.
 At times the crowd became almost conRested on the corner, for every one wanted to stop and enjoy tfW fun with the youngsters. until couple of big hearted policemen, who remembered and syn1pathized, came to the rescue and inc blockade was straightway removed. Then Santa Claus continued to throw bags of delicious candy to the crowd of happy children.

 'The foregoing is not mere academic discussion. It indicates that the South ern Railway is not behind it's neigh bors in endeRvoring to handle It's trahic with economy, and 1t discloses the real reason why even with good manage ment the Southern Is unable to show so large a profit as the Louisville and Nashville and the Illinos Central The two latter companies are highly profit- able undertakings in consequence of the density of their trafic, while the Southern is less profitable owing to the light density of its traffic.
