The Bear Lake Valley Electric

occasion.
Having everything upon the fair
grounds is the best feature of the
arrangements, especially for those
who come from other settlements as
they can drive right in on the
grounds and fiud plenty Of hay and
water for their animals, and thus
do away with so much labor on
their part. Everything will be
done that can be done for the COM

committee will not want for means
to carry out their desires as nearly
$500 has already been subscribed
and liberal donations are still COM

Beginnings in the Kennewick
Valley Schools.
By AUDREY FULLERTON.

The following interesting facts
about the starting of the Kenne
wick schools is taken from Miss
Audrey Fullerton's Class History
read by her at the First Commence
ment Exercises as a part of the
program given by her class.
For the benefit of those who are
not familiar with the early history
of our school, l will give a brief
outline of school district history.
The families and friends organized
the school district in August 1884,
A. w. Gray, H. M. Luper and C.
E. Lum, directors. The first school
was opened in a board building
owned and the use of it donated by
Capt, w. P. Gray. This building
was burned during the first month
of the session and part of the ses-
sion was held in a section house,
while the people, including the
workmen on the railroad built by
subscription a new school house,
which in after years was moved to
another part of the district near the
present town of Finley. The orr
ginal district comprised all the
territory east of Kiona, North to
Priest Rapids, south to Wallula,
and the Klickitat County line.
The population was about $50. with
only sixteen school children. and
and the value of all the property
excepting Railroad was about $15-
600, largely made up of cattle. The
first teacher was Mr.. Tompson
whose salary was paid by subscrip-
ton.

The Northern Pacific railway will
build the long expected branch line
up the Columbia from this place to
Wenatchee and on up to the Bound
ary line. AS before announced the
surveyors are in the field running
the preliminary lines between here

have instructions to commence on
the location work as soon as the
preliminary is done. The local
company has already been organiz-

were filed with the Secretary OF
State, at Olympia by Attorney B.
S. Grosscup Tuesday.
According to these articles the
Kennewick Northern will run from
Kennewick up the Columbia river
to British Columbia, traversing the
entire width of the state from north

very good results, yet often the

Republican Committee and Cam.
pai9n Funds.

Frank H. Hitchcock has been
elected chairman, and George R.
Sheldon treasurer, of the Republi-
can National Committee. Mr..
Hitchcock was the leading repre-
sentative Of Secretary Taft during
canvass which preceded the conven-
ton. Mr.. Sheldon is a we'll known
banker Of New York, and president
of the Union League Club. The
election of these officers Cat Hot
Springs, Va.) was accompanied by
a statement to the public, from
them and Mr.. Taft, that the head
quarters of the committee and of it's
treasurer would be in New York
City, and that publicity would be
given to the treasurer's receipts and
expenditures in compliance with
the new publicity law of the State
of New York. Mr.. Sheldon was
treasurer of the Republican State
Committee during the campaign
which ended with the election of
Governor Hughes. He received be-
tween $500, 600 and 100000. In
obedience to this same law, he pub
lished the names of the contributors
and an itemized account of all ex-
penditures. Il shall see to it," he
says to the press, that publicity is
given to the sources from which the
funds going thru my hands are re-
ceived and as to the manner in
which the money is expended" }"
Commenting upon published esti-
mates of national campaign funds
OF the past, he remarked that the
size of these funds had been ex-
aggerated. Campaign expenses,
however, were heavy, for the cost of
campaign literature and the circula
tion of it was something like $3.50
600, and and about 500, 1000 was
required for campaign speakers.

Good Citizenship
Meeting.
Strong Address by Supt. nerwis
Of the Anti.Saloon League.

The Good Citizens Meeting" at
the Methodist Episcopal Church
Sunday evening, the 10TH. inst.
was well attended but not as larg-
ely attended as the importance of
the meeting and the distinguished
speaker, would have led one to ex-
fpect. But those who did attend
were amply repaid for the effort,
while those who did not attend will
never know what they missed by
the failure.
The speakers theme was Two
phases of the Anti saloon move-
ment- Educational and Legisla-
tive" He first told what had
been done along educational lines,
for the last thirty years, and made
it very emphatic that without this
educational movement, local option
could never have made the strides
and tremendous victories of the
last few years. AS between local
option and vote on State wide
Prohibition, the speaker favored
the former as more feasible and
sure, and would give time for the
temperance forces to get in their
educational work. In short the
speaker contended that prohibition
is a failure until public sentiment
strong enough to enforce it is be-
hind it. And that this public
sentiment can be best built up in
the smaller units of government
the precinct, county and then the
State and finally the Nation.
But the main part of the address
was devoted to the Legislative"
branch of the work of the organiza-.
ton. In connectian with this
branch of the subject, the speaker
exhibited a map of the United
States the part under dry" being
left white, and the wet" part
painted black. To the ordinary
layman this map was a revelation.
1t showed that more than one half
of the territory of the United States
is at this mement dry, and that
the dry was encroaching upon the
wet" at tremendous pace. In
barely three elections in Oregon,
the dry had gained from nothing
to three-fourths of the State-twenty
three counties in thirty three being
absolutely dry and not one
single county being whole ''wet"-
Portland herself having four
dry" precincts.
Speakingof local conditions, the
speaker exhibited map of Wash
ington showing by black and white
how the members voted on the local
option bill at the last legislature.
He developed the fact the member
from Benton County voted wet"
when it came to that important
measure and intimated that he
would be good man to leave at
home the coming legislature. The
speaker also told us that Benton is
the only county in Eastern WASH
ington not enforcing the Sunday
law but allowing the towns of the
County to run on the wide open"
plan. He intimated that this state
of affairs, which all agree is no
credit to us as a county and par
tlcularly to our county officials
whose sworn duty it is to enforce
the laws, could be absolutely cured
at the coming primary election.
The speaker is upon the whole a
logical forceful, convincing and
earnest talker. In the face of the
disccmforts of the heat, he held the
audience to the end of somewhat
lengthy discourse, and will be well
coined again in the beautiful city OF
Kennewick.
