ONE THOUSAND
AND 'IEVEN
That's the Population of Our Town
According to tie Benton County
Directory Canvass.


Messrs. Boomer ~ Candy of Prosser,
VINO are compiling directory of Ben
ton county, have about finished their
work IN this section. In order to cain
accurate information as to the popula-
ton OF kennewick a census was taken
OF the town The census included the
corporate limits of the town as we'll as
Beach's Addition, Or what i, usually
dominated as kennewick. The figure,
astonlshed even the most optimistic.
1t developed that the population of
hennewick within the boundaries
above mentioned was 10ll, showing a
phenomenal growth of the place. Three
years ago at this time the same area
contained not over so people. 1t is esti-
mated that at the end of the first year.
or on January 1st, 1904, the population
was about 300, and Oh January LIST, 1905,
the population had doubled, and the
last year the increase has been over
400. KenneU lex has never had what
IS called boom, but has enioyed a
steady growth, and the growth will
IN the next few years far exceed the
proportion of the past. This is essen
TALLY community of homes, and a
home-building population, and those
who are here now will remain. The
land surrounding the town is being
subdivided into smaller and smaller
tracts, which will increase the rural
population MANIFOLD in the next two
years, and will afford support for a
considerably larger population in
town. The figures above demon.
strates that Kennewick is a husky
three-year-old, and it will not do for
her older sisters to be making faces at
the kid. The kid may in a short time
be competitor for the "beauXn of the
older ones. So they better not hold
their heads too high,

BABY CRIES FOR
ABSENT MOTHER
Woman, Subject to Wandering Spells,
May Be in Boyle Heights Today
Perhaps Trying to Reach
Her Home

For three long days the one-y -year-old
child of Mrs. Mary f. Becker has been
crying pitifully for his mother to corle
home to him, and as a result of his
weeping, it is thought the child is in
a critical condition.
For three days Mrs. Becker has been
missing from her fathers home. 3619
Z Percy street, and the police have been
notified of her disappearance in the
hope that the missing woman will be
returned to her home before her child
grieves himself to death.
Mrs. Becker left her fathers home
Wednesday afternoon, and relatives
fear she has wandered from the city
while temporarily deranged mentally.
1t is said the woman, who is only Is
years of age. has left home for a few
hours at times on different occasions,
but never before has she been absent
for three days.
Her father says his daughter becomes
temporarily demented at times and
leaves her home, wandering aimlessly
about.
When she left she was wearing
white waist and a skirt of washa BILE
goods. Her hat was a large light
colored straw sailor and was worn with
q black veil.
The police are making every effort to
loca e the woman, and they think she
probably will be found in Boyle Heights
oday, perhaps trying to reach her
nome.

BATTLES SCHEME
To CROSS WALK
POLICE INTERRUPT PACIFIC
ELECTRIC FORCES
Chief and City Attorney Pay Hurried
Visit to Garvanza, obeyng
Request of Property
Owners

A commotion was caused by the Los
Angeles Electric Railway company
yesterday in Garvanza, at the corner
of Avenue Sixty-one and Piedmont
avenue, by working at night to accom-
plish its object in cutting across lots"
The yellow car line" has been run
ming for a long time with a terminus
at Avenue Sixty. The company has a.
franchise extending to Avenue Sixty
one, thence to Piedmont avenue and
on to Pasadena avenue.
The company proceeded to lay the
tracks beyond the present terminus
along its extended line. And upon
coming to the corner of Avenue Sixty
one and Piedmont avenue, in order to
avoid a short turn, the lot at the corner
was purchased upon which to cross.
A crew of men has been at work at
night grading and placing the track
across the property purchased and also
across the sidewalk, the latter of which
is the bone of contention.
Yesterday afternoon the citizens near
the scene of action entered a protest
TO Mayor McAleer.
The mayor notified Chief Auble, and
he in turn notified District Attorney
Mathews. The latter sent Deputy Dis
trict Attorney Hewitt, who was ac-
companied by Chief Auble, to the place
to investigate.
Upon carefully looking over the situ-
alton Deputy District Attorney Hewitt
said:
THE company has a right to cross it's
property which it has purchased on
the corner to save the short tlrn, but
my idea is that it mas no right to cut
through the sidewalk without per-
NIT from the city, and this working at
night to accomplish the work looks
suspicious.
IF this is allowed to be done the
company could cut cross lots any
where i'm the city in the same way.
1T strikes me that the company has
been hasty in this movement for l be-
lieve that provisions could have been
made with proper application to the
city council for the extension of the
line without this trouble"
Chief Auble was instructed to place
a policeman at the scene of action to
prevent further work last evening.

WANT CHINA TO
RELEASE JUNK
STATE DEPARTMENTS AID TO
BE INVOKED
Pacific Electric Connpany's Represen-
tative Will Return to FloWery
Kingdom to Claim His
Pirate Chaser

Mail advices Indicate that further eff
torts are being made to bring the much
advertised China junk, the Whang Ho,
10 san Pedro and Long Beach, regard
less of complications.
Recently word was received from H.
,. kneedler, advertising manager of
the Pacific Electric railroad, at Los
Angeles, that the famous junk, which
started for San Pedro under its own
sails April 20, had been apprehended
by Chinese man of war about 1000
miles out and taken back to a China
port there to remain, unless someone
has the power to get her started again.
1t seems that the junk was purchased
by a representative of the electric line
and refitted to bring it to the United
States. 1t is over two hundred years
of age and has figured in times past
rs both pirate vessel and a pira te
catcher
After its usefulness was past il was
anchored in quiet little bay, where it
lay for years, but was finally sighted
by this man and purchased for a song.
He had it all reftted with mat sails
made of rice straw, the same as it
had used in the times long past, and
started II on its journey
Then his plans were defeated by the
Chinese authorities. they claiming that
it was strictly against their laws and
usages to allow any such a procedure
with any Of their old vessels.
The Representative of the company.
w. M. Milne, then began to use his
diplomacy and the companys money,
with the result that in the course of the
next three months he let it sail.
After seeing 1t we'll started and past
the Chinese custom officers and not
caring TO put in all the time on board,
Milne took passage on a liner and came
home expecting that the famous craft
would soon be here.
He and the company's officials waited
in vain.
They had kept a man watching for it
on the high bluffs at Point Firmin for
several weeks expecting to see it come
around Catalina.
Capt. Hamilton, the port pilot also
passed many nights i'm his launch far
out at sea, as it was feared that the
Chinese crew aboard would not know
what to do when it neared San Pedro
The latest news of the "arrest" of the
Junk did not prevent the officials from
dispatching Mr. Milne TO San Francisco,
there to get his credentials and instruc-
tions from the Chinese consul as to
how to proceed and to take the first
liner to China.
Dispatches were also sent to Wash
ington asking for instructions from
there.
Mr.. Milne had not only purchased the
junk, but received his title and papers
allowing II to clear from there, hence
the state department. may be dragged
into the affair.
