Display Products
From KenneWick
Commercial Club Leases Booth
in Spokane.

The Commercial Club, ever alert
to press the advantages of kenne-
wick and the valley upon the home
seeker, has adopted another method
for effective advertising. A booth
in the Chamber of Commerce has
been leased and the space will be u.s.
ed to attractively display the pro-
duets of the Valley. According to
the arrangement the products will
be sent up and the managers will
look after the display and keep the
booth in order. During the spring
it is planned to demonstrate our
early season by showing of ripe
berries and green stuff of every kind.
A generous supply of the new Club
booklet and other advertising mat
ter will be kept in the booth for
distribution and Kenncwick will be
brought to the notice of thousands
of homeseekers. Spokane is the
first stopping place for them on
their way from the East and from
Falls City as a vantage point they
decied upon the exact point in the
Inland Empire where they will
locate.
The display of products and the
literature giving the facts about the
kennewick valley will make bid
for their attention which few can
resist.

Instituted by Yakima Team, Large
Attendance, Elaborate
Banquet.

Kennewick Oddfellowship always
strong and enthusiastic since the
organization of a large subordinate
lodge, more than two years ago pro-
gressed to new honors by organizing
the Encampment, and it's votaries
received a new view of the dignity
and beauty of the principles of
higher Oddfellowship at the impos-
ing institution ceremonies. Last
Saturday evening the Odd Fellows
and their visiting brethren, consist
ing of delegation from North Yakima
Granger, Hover and Pasco, took the
town and remained in complete
possession all night. The Yakima
Encampment team conducted the
work of instituting the new lodge.
At its head was c. E. Lum, the
state organizer, who seems to belong
to Kennewick as much as to North
Yakima AMI who also organized the
subordinate Lodge here. The
Yakima team assisted by other
visitors, advanced the floor work
with rapidity and military precision.
The three Encampment degrees
were conferred on 81 candidates,
thirtytwo of whom were members
of the local subordinate lodge.
At II o'clock temporary adjourn
ment was taken and the entire COM
pany of sixty repaired to the Hotel
Kennewick where the most elabor-
ate banquet ever prepared by this
hostelry, was served in courses.
The new Hotel had established it's
reputation in this line by such
elaborate spreads as the Commercial
Club banquet and the dinner to the
Seattle Commercial Club but it is
unanimous verdict that on this oc-
casion the management surpassed
all former efforts. The delicious
viads could not be sighted but the
toasts and speech making were cut
short as work of installation was
only we'll begun. At 5 a. m. the
last candidate had been duly oblig-
ed, and the Yakima team hurried
to their train and the local members
sought their homes meditating on
the good nights work.

ADVISE CITY To
BUY FOX OUT

After considerable discussion in
committee of the whole council
last night it was decided that the
finance committee should make a
deal with George w. Fox for the
purchase of an IL" shaped piece Of
ground near No. 4 fire station on
the corner Of Adams and First and
which is badly needed on account
of the crowded and unsanitary
condition of the station. Fire Com
missioner O'Brien and Chief Myers
both spoke in high favor of pur.
chasing the Fox property at the
stipulated price of $4,000.
This sum was considered to be
excessive, but Councilman Dalke,
who is in the real estate business
and who has made some dickers in
the neighborhood of the Fox prop
erty, says the sum is low and a
good buy for the city. He predicts
the ground will increase in value
within the next five years.
Mr.. Fox's offer was either to sell
out or pay $4,000 for the site upon
which the fire station stands. A
committee investigated and de-
cided that il was unwise to sell,
as an acceptable new site could
not be found in the vicinity

BETTER BID ON

OTHERS WILLING TO PAY
MORE THAN GRAVES FOR
SITE, AND HIS HALF PRICE
OFFER WILL BE TURNED
DOWN..

The Graves proposition for big
bargain on the crematory site was
given some discussion by the coun-
Gil committee meeting last night
but no action was taken following
a report from the board of works,
which was to the effect that the
board would have a recommends
ton ready by next Tuesday. The
Graves people offer to purchase the
site. outright for $4,000, or pay
$4,000 and donate a site nine
miles east of town and provide two
Acton cars for hauling the garbage
and charge 20 cents a ton.
Neither of the Graves schemes
meets with the boards favor. The
$4,000 offer is only about half the
value of the property. Commits.
sioner O'Brien stated that it might
be advisable to sell the site for
$4,000 and with a part of that
sum purchase new one. 1t is
understood that the board has Sc
cured a larger offer than that of
the Graves people, but as to the
details Of it Commissioner O'Brien
refuses TO say until the boards re-
port is sent to the council.

because a number of Japanese in
dulged in war talk and got too
"cocky" that they and hundreds OF
their fellow subjects are mourning
their lost jobs. Throughout this
city and southern California there
has been a regular moving down
of brown employees. The hard
times have helped 10 sweep the ia
panese out of their places because
employers have found no difficulty
in getting white men and negroes
to fill the positions.
The trolley and steam railways
centering here have dismissed hun
dreds of the mikado's subjects
from their construction gangs,
while hotels, clubs and restaurants
have given many others the Order

demonstrated yesterday before
Judge KEENAN, in the trial of a di-

action was abandonment and on
this the decree was granted after
hearing testimony. The doctor
testified that his practice did not
permit the social relaxation neces-

H. F. Bowles last night when the
committee reported out for pas-

the franchise, as the board pf
