new CONCRETE
BLACKSMITH SHOP

E. R. Caranahan is putting up a
new concrete stone, fre-proof black
smith shop on his lot on East Front
street. The new building will be
2ox7O feet, ore story. The walls,
OF which the east one is about half
completed, are of re- enforced con-
crete like the Brown block, only
that slightly cearser gravel being
used.
The building will be amply large
for Mr.. Carnahan's shop and will
be great protection to himself and
also to the other buildings on the
street as fire starting on of the
street will stop at the stone struct-
ure which otherwise would proba-
tly burn the entire length of the
block. The side walls will be party
walls.

STREET SPRINklING
TO Be RESUMED

The Council responsible to the
demand of the business men decid-
ed to encourage some one to take up
the street sprinkling job again and
voted to pay s25 per month for the
next three months in addition to
the subscriptions the contractor
could secure from private parties,
to paw him for the work.
It is certainly great benefit to
the town and we believe that sub
scriptions can be secured from prac-
tically every business house for the
work and that if it is done reason
ABLY we'll and regularly everybody
will be satisfied. We hope some
good man will take up the matter
promptly. Geo. F. Richardson ap-
peared before the Council and urg-
ed that the sprinkling be done and
.aid the Kennewick Transfer Co.
would do it for $3.50 per month, al
tho they were not seeking the job
and were perfectly willing for some
one else to take it.

Iowa, to accompany the remains of
his sister Mrs. o. w. Rich which
were laid to rest beside her rela-
tives in the cemetery in the old

there were very largely attended
and were conducted by former
pastor, Rev. Shenton who solemn
lied her marriage to her husband, i,
U. W. Rich and it was also under
his ministrations as pastor that she
was converted and joined his
church. Mr.. Brown said his line
OF thought in fun 4ral address was
very similar to Rev. !. H. Wood s
and was message of comfort. The
community gave ocular showing OF
Their sympathy by giving flowers to
form bank of flowers about Il G
casket and make additional very
beautiful floral designs.

HENS TOO INDUSTRIOUS

Editor Agricultural Dept.-Courier,
Will you please suggest a remedy
to stop hens from laying. My 90
White Leghorn hens have laid an
average of % eggs per day for over
two years; would like very much to
have them stop in order to get them
through with the molt before win
ter; didn't molt last year as they
did not get time.
Do you think good feed of saw
dust, say once a day would do any
good? Any of your readers having
knowledge along this line will con-
fer great favor if they will address
me at Box A, Gold Nugget Farm
Yours in despair,

POWER COMPANY
WAS ENJOINED

Last week Chas. Conway and
wife brought suit against the Yak
ina Valley Power Company to stop
the flow of water on their lands
which comes from the condenser of
the defendant company's power
plant.
A temporary restraining order
was secured and the stream of wat
er was shut off Saturday morning
and the plant was compelled to
furnish much less power until Tues
day afternoon when the wooden
pipe line was conducted up through
the Crab Greek Lumber Co.'S yard
and connected with the Washing
ton street flume which furnishes
water for L. G. Moore's and G. M d.
Annis' lands. The use of the con-
denser was than refumed and the
full load of current furnished.
Accompanying the action for in
junction was one for $1,000 damages
which Will be tried out later, and
the question of the amount of dam
age adjudicated, Attorney Ander-
son represents plaintiffs and A. J.
Danson, of Spokane, the defendant.

MAN
BUYS OPTIONS

Option taking on real estate has
been lively this week and operations
have been confined to the Beach ad-
dition in the vicinity of the power
house. l.. D. Armacost, residing
at Ellensburg and O. w. Rich as
local representative, has taken the
options and the earnest money has
been paid in checks on the Ellens-
burg bank.
The options are on the Columbia
Hotel, owned by Geo. w. Bowen at
$4,000, which he bought just recent
ly for $500. The three lots east
of Ketcham's blacksmith shop, con-
trolled by A. H. Sasse of Finley;
John Eichner's residence property
at $500; the residences of A. H.
Jarnagin at $4,000 and the residence
of G. E. Armstrong at $4,000. $500
was paid down on the hotel and
the Eichner property and $500 on
the others. Option was also taken
on lots just east Of Armstrong; on
three belonging to Frank Allen,
Mrs. Armstrong; brother living in
Iowa. Case & Eschbach have asked
a price on the Richardson barn but
no definite arrangement has been
made on this property. Negotiat-
ions for options for property owned
by Mrs. G.. J. Beach are under way
but she is in Seattle and it cannot
be learned whether they have been
closed but it is thot by those who
are in position to know that a
satisfactory arrangement has been
reached. The property in the adj
dition fartherest south on which an
option has been taken is that of H i.
T. Kennedy which is at $1,000.
As we go to press negotiations are
under way for several other pieces
of residence property and whoever
the parties are it looks as if it was a
clean sweep of the eastern end of
Beach's first addition. When ne
gotiations were opened the idea was
given out that it was for a mill site
but everyone who spins theory on
the situation thinks it is a railroad
presumably the North Coast but
may be the Kennewick Northern or
with even greater probability it
might be the Portland & Seattle
buying for "Y" which the Ken
newick Northern might also use
later

s1RFET IMPROVE
MENT ESTIMATES

CITY Engineer T. J. Wright pur-
,,.nt to an order of the Council at
tba nrevious meetings, had the sur
vevs profiles and estimates on street
improvement ready for presenta-
.;on to the Council at their Tuesday
u;obt session. His surveys cover
the improvement of all streets from
seventh to Washington and from
Front to Third streets. About
1000 feet we're included in his
nlans or something like three miles
Of street improvement. According
10 the levels taken about 1865 cubic
Yards of embankment will be neces-
sary and 1901 cubic yards OF ex-
cavation. About 5000 cubic yards
Of gravel is his estimate OF the
amount required for the top coat
ing and when the question was
raised he had no recommendation
to make as to the binder or dress
ing that would hold the top coat
ing firmly together. The cost would
be $l.OO per lineal foot and taking
the length given above would make
a total cost of SIC, 900. The mayor
read a letter from the vice president
Of bond buying corporation in which
he said that special assessment
bonds laid against the property abut-
ting on the street improvements
we're not desirable bonds and his
house would not care to handle any
bonds unless they were against the
entire city. This letter was in re-
ply to one sent him by Mayor John
son in which h. outlined the city's
financial condition and placed the
city Indebtedness at $2GO, and
stated that up TO the present there
was no municipal bonded debt.
The expense of securing the data
and the estimate has been 1925.

MANY BOATS N PORT
At KENNEWICK

kennewick shipping presented q
lively appearance last Friday when
five large boats anchored in Col
umbia harbor at the Kennewick
docks. The boats were the Govern
ment boat. Umatilla, the Open River
Transportation Coz boats, the
Twin Cities and the Inland En-
pire, the old reliable steamer,
staunch and sturdy, veteran of many
a cruise, the Mountain Gem and
the W. r. Todd.
Their combined carrying capa-
city was more than a thousand tons.
All of them are in trim shape and
look prosperous. In addition to
these, the smaller crafts should be
mentioned, The Tillicum, the North
Coast launch, Eva, the Wallula
launch, the Gateway and the new
Lock launch, all of which were in
port during the day making quite Il
numerous Mosquito Fleet"
The faithful who remember the
gloom when the Gerome was wreck
ed at the foot of Homily Island and
Hover was advertised broadcast as
the head of navigation" would GER
tainly have full right to swell with
pride at the gladstone sight and
only the steamers shrillest
whistles could adequately re-echo
their buoyant JOY. Let us recall
the lines pull he'd at the launching
of the Gee Whiz'' that famous
barque we know so well.
Speed on the ships But let them bear
No merchandise Of sin.
No groanins cargo Of despair
Their roomy holds within;
No Lethean drug for Eastern lands.
Nor poison -drausht for ours:
But homes, fruits Of toiling hands
And Natures sun and showers
Be theirs the Prairie's golden grain.
The Hover golden sand.
The clustered fruits Of sunny plain.
The spice Of Valley-landi
Their pathway on the open main
May blessings follow free.
And glad hearts welcome back again
Their white sails from the sea.
