BABY SAVES CHILO'S LIFE
UNABLE TO TALK, LEADS MOTHER
TO MOUTH OF DEEP WELL

The little child of Dave Matthews
visiting with its mother at the home
of Virgil Alexander, eight miles
from kiona, in the Rattlcsnake re-
giod, had a narrow escape from
drowning. She was playing with
her little brother around the cistern
when the trap door tilted and the
little girl fell into the water. The
baby brother could not talk, but
ran screaming into the house and
pointed out the scene Of the disaster
The two women saw at once what
had happened, bat knowing the
water was probably beyond their
depth, they were obliged to procure
and place a ladder. The mother
then decended and grasped the
child by the hand just as she was
sinking for the last time. The little
one has entirely recovered.

Columbia Water, Light & Power
company, through c. A. Cochran,
| asked for permit to put up high
voltage electric transmission line
from their new plant west to Wash
lngtOn street, then north to the
county road to Columbia avenue,
thence on that avenue and the street
running north to the Columbia river
and along the riverside drive to the
western city limits. After some dis
cussion as to danger by accidents
from such line it was referred to
the city attorney and the street and
alley committee.
A bunch of half a dozen ordin-
ances were presented by the city at
torney, but action was postponed
on them until an adjourned meet
ing as the hour was getting late.
Before the introduction of the bills
which were audited by the finance
committee were ordered paid.
The regular monthly scrap about
the Jail light was also pulled off
during the evening By agreement
F. E. Coulsen, of the Kennewick
Machine shop, tested the Jail meter
with test meter and it was found
to register 3 per cent fast on the
variation from low to full load. Mr..
Coulsen reported that this was ac-
curate work for meter, but stated
he had broken the seal and cor
rected it so that it would no register
within one percent of correct ac-
cording to the test meter.
A fair estimate of the cost was Il
cents per hour for the current for a
slXteen-candle power lamp. Ihls
would amount to s7.45, the hours
the lamps are now running. The
bill was for something over 5000
and the Council thot it was little
high and it was not paid, thus
leaving something to give a touch
of ginger to the next meeting.

TO BUY CITY HALL SITE
TRANSMISSION LINE PERMIT
ASKED FOR

The purchase of site for a city
hall, fire department headquarters,
and jail was the most important
question up for discussion at the
Council meeting Tuesday evening.
Two sites were considered, the one
known as the Glover property on
Tacoma street, between Front and
second, which is 55 feet wide and
$50 feet deep, with an alley on all
sides. This site has a small resi-
dence thereon and can be purchased
for about $500. This is a site
which has been considered several
times by the Council but no action
was taken, for lack Of funds. May
or l.. f. Johnson also presented a
new proposition from H. A. Hover
which involves the purchase of five
lots directly south of the Antlers
facing east on Tacoma street. The
consideration asked is $1,000. Those
who talked in favor of this site
thought that it afforded plenty of
space for housing the city officials
for all time to come, but it was
mentioned that the price was high,
inasmuch as these lots changed
hands within the last two years at
$625.
After discussion, the mayor APP
pointed Councilmer Rose, Crowell
and Bier a committee to COZ 81 Ter
the whole question of purchasing a
site and requested a report at the
next regular meeting
City Clerk c. O. Anderson re-
ported that he had paid about $500
to the Northern Pacific Irrigation
Co. on the water right contract for
the First and Second additions. The
payments now have been one-half
completed. There were eleven pay
ments in all covering a period of
ten years.

velopment of the project and it has
every promise of early completion
and rapid settlement.
ANOTHER KENNEWICK PROJECT

The original Kennewick Heights
Water company have been watering
aud redeeming a large body of land
just south of Kennewick, adjoining
the Stuible. Lum and Williams or
chards and alfalfa lands. This COM
pany has not talked very much, but
have been pumping water and work
ing their lands all summer.
A representative of this paper Wis
tied their lands yesterday and was
surprised to see the abundant supply
OF water and the amount of work
accomplished. The soil is the fin
est in the northwest, about 20 feet
deep and without store or gravel
and no sand.
The view is very fine, about the
same as seen from Mr.. Egbert's
home.
We rejoice very much to see this
as well as every other new project
started at KeElrwick for it all
means the deve lie opment OF a larger
valley. We are informed that the
company has plenty of money to
push this project to an early COM
pletion and settlement.

citizens of Kennewick. In brief
it shows there is an Indebtedness OF
about $1,000 in the warrant account.
To offset this there is Sf10 in cash
on hand and between 500 and $500
delinquent taxes and something to
come in from dubious accounts fcr
clearing off weeds from the lots and
a larger amount from the sidewalk
account, for building sidewalks for
nonresident lot owners. At fair
estimate the town is probably s24OO
in debt, approximately half .of
which was for the purchase of the
fine equipment of fire apparatus.

three-foulths done. The canal is

Called the dean of American poets
by the voice of the best of his contem-
poraries, the history of the late Ed
mund Clarence Stedman reaches back
into days when he groveled, 1t may be
said, through long days of labor" to
come to his own. Stedman's was a
typical American literary career of the
old school. First war correspondent
at the front In the sixties and later a
newspaper worker in New York city,
he early began to put into verse the
sentiments and emotions aroused by
his daily associations. He wrote poetry
because that was a fitting vehicle for
the expression of the thoughts that
breathed within him.
In his prime Mr.. Stedman was called
the "banker-poet." He went into Wall
street to make money but not for mon
ey alone nor for the more vulgar things
that money will buy. He wanted to
emancipate his pen from the letters of
commercialized literature. 1t Is said
that Stedman's most important literary
work was done after he came in touch
with stocks and bonds. His poetic in
SEPARATIONS sprang from knowing men
as they are, from seeing the tragedies
as well as the flower paths of life. His
fame matured late, but while not broad
In scope, it is likely to be enduring, and
no doubt that posterlty will rank him
with Lowell, whom he resembled in
many respects, and likewise Longfel-

that through its prominent faculty
member, the State College will be en-
abled to indirectly participate in the
building of a new city in Eastern
Washington. The lake is round, pos
sibly half mile across, and is the
termination of a line of fresh water
lakes extending up the Grand Coulee.
The land to be developed is volcanic
ash covered with sagebrush, and the
fact that the entire 5000 acres bought
by the Adrian Irrigation company is
almost as level as the sea. strongly in
dicates that the soil does not blow or
shift with the winds, even if this were
not shown by the nature of the soil.
The elevation of the district is about
1900 feet, or about the same as many
of the orchards of Wenatchee. There
is comparative freedom from winds,
while the climate is mild.
