HERO MEDAL URGED
FOR GIRL NURSE
Given instructions and Left Alone,
Young Girl From Hospital
Proves Mettle

From western Mime a
there came to Minneapolis to.
day the story of young girls
heroism and unflinching devo.
tion to duty that is considered
by all the medical men who
have heard it as one of the
most extraordinary tales o +
obedience and bravery. If they
have their way there will be a
T. carnegie hero medal for the
girl, who is only 19 years old
What this girl did was done
when she was alone in farm
house with four typhoid pa.
tients and corpse, the nearest
neighbor four miles away, and
blizzard raging, this coming
to her when she had received
only three months of training
as nurse.
"We often hear" said DR..
Archa A. Wilcox of Minneapolis
today, "of acts of b avery, such
as somebody plunging off of a
wharf TO save a human life, or
of a fireman risking his life to
bring child from burning
house, but 1 think the story of
what this child did is one of
the most remarkable things /
ever heard. If anybody ever
deserved hero medal, she
does"
At Breckenridge, Mimi, is
located St. Francis hospital,
where, in addition to the sisters
and the nurses, there are sever
al young girls receiving train
ing to be nurses. To this hos
pital there came some weeks
ago country physician with a
story Of five typhoid patients in
an isolated farm house, twenty
miles away. He wa tie d a
nurse. The mother superior
told him there was no nurse to
be had, for all were engaged.
The physician persist d. Fl .
said he had to have nurse, for
it was a mater of life and death.

HAYES IS GIVEN 12O ACRES
Long Fought Contest for White Bluffs
Quarter Section at Last
Settled

Word was received from H. A.
Halves of Hanford this week to the
effect that the Secretary of the In
terror had granted Hawes' appeal
and awarded him 12O acres and
his Italian contestant, Marcacci,
40 acres of the quarter section upon
which both filed in the land rush
at White Bluffs in September, 1909.
This reverses the decision of the
Land Commissioner at North Yak
ina and Commissioner of the Gen.
eral Land Office at Washington, D..
c., both of whom in previous opin-
ions had awarded the entire Claim
to Marcacci.
Mr.. Halves is we'll known here,
being one of Kennewick's pioneer
merchants, and his many fiends
will be glad to learn that he is to
have his rights upheld in his claim
to this large tract OF fruit land
which, with the coming Of govern
ment irrigation in the upper valley,
will prove a very valuable hold
ing.
Mr.. Halves has promised US an
article later on, giving the facts of
the case, which will undoubtedly
make interesting reading.

to wipe "ut the three defeats already
suffered by their fellow-tovnsmen

the n. P. outfit has slight edge on
the Pasco city team, and have been

will result from this system is far
reaching in its effects and is boom
to every home in the district. Slight
defects which might in time prove
seriously detrimental to the health
of the children are rectifed by the
visiting physician and the pupils
are better able to meet the perplex-
tiles of their daily studies.
Another important enterprise of
the past school year is the campaign
for the cooperation of teachers,
parents and pupils which was in
stituted by Supt. Lewis and resulted
in the patrons meetings which brot
the people Of Kennewick in touch
with some of the best educators in
the northwest. These have estab-
lished closer relationship between
parents and teachers which will be
Of lasting benefit to the children

BUSINESS men
ON THE MOVE
Changes Of Location Will be Made
by Half Dozen Firms this
Week

June 1st instead of May 1st seems
to have been accepted as general
moving day by the business houses
of the city and the coming week will
see several firms in new locations.
The Tulles Drug Co. will move
from the Eakin Bldg. across the
street to the commodious corner
room in the new Hover Block now
occupied by the Hover Investment
Co. and the Borchardt Tailoring.
Co. The Tulles boys have for some
time past found themselves badly
cramped for room in their present
quarters and the new location will
give their fast growing business the
needed chance for expansion. 1t
will make them a splendid store.
New fixtures are now at the depot
ready for installation as soon as the
carpenters are through with the
necessary alterations.
The Northern Pacific Irrigation
Co. are moving from the King Block
to the office room in the Kepnewick
Hotel Bldg. recently vacated by the
Richland Land Co., and the King
Block office will be occupied by the
Twin City Realty Co. Mr.. Borch-
aldt will remove his tailoring estab-
lishment to the former quarters of
the Realty Co. w. P. Criderman,
formerly with Mr.. Borchardt, has
leased the north half of the Hanson
Bldg. at Second and Yakima as
salesroom for the fine line of woolen
suitings he is now handling. Later
he plans to add a repairing and
pressing outfit to his business.

HERE'S A SORROWFUL Tall E
How the Berrypickers were Chawed
and Clawed by the Yakima
Tigers

North Yakima Is; Kennewick 0.
The above is the score that was
phoned home Sunday night from
North Yakima and which at first
was not believed by the fans, who
thought that somehow the telephone
wires must have got crossed.
The score was verified in all its
horror however, the next day when
the boys got back and tried to ex-
plain how it all happened.
1t was simply case of humping
up against too much class. The
Tigers proved to be all that their
name implied faster, heavier
and more experienced outfit than
anything down in this neck o. the
woods; and they had a twirler
against whom the Kennewick boys
were helpless, four hits being the
best they could do.
The boys were in no very conf
dent frame of mind before the game
and when in the very first inning
things began to break badly, their
balloon went up and Yakima scored
five runs on two singles. a two-bag-
ger and errors by Kalb, Walters
and Howe. This took the starch
out of them and the performance
was repeated again in the third,
when with two men down the Tigers
annexed five more on three hits
and inexcusable errors. Three
more tigers came across in the fourth
and two in the sixth, by free hitting
aided by loose fielding.
Kennewick got men on bass in
only three innings and in two of
these their chances we're tucked
away by fast double plays. Howe
got two-bagger in the seventh,
but died there, the next two men
being easy outs.
While Criderman was hit freely,
he pitched a good steady game and
with support such as was behind
Larkin the Sunday before, could
have held the score down to one
third its size.

RETURN TO ARIZONA

Mr.. and Mrs. C. O. Anderson
left last Wednesday for Wilcox,
Arizona, their former home. They
came to Kennewick in the spring
OF 1908, on account of Mrs. Ander-
sons health, her physician having
announced she had one chance in
ten to recover. She is now fully
restored to health, but the climate
has from the first not agreed with
Mr.. Anderson and he feels a change
imperative. In 1907 his health be-
came so precarious that he moved
to Tacoma where he remained until
the spring of 1908, when his prop
erty interests and unfinished busi-
ness brought him back. Shortly
after his return he realized that the
climate and close office work would
soon break him down completely
and he began to cast about for a
new location. He chose Spokane
and with that end in view acquired
a fine residence on Canon Hill in
that city, but last summer after
spending some time in Spokane,
Idaho and ON the coast he realized
that he must leave the northwest
entirely. In January he went to
the Deaconess hospital at Spokane,
where he remained a week, and
thereafter left for Arizona in quest
of health. He found immediate
relief in that dry climate and clear
and bracing atmosphere, and de-
cided to relocate in his former home.
He returned the last of March and
has since been making final prep
arations to leave.
