LADIES URGE
CLEANER CITY
Appear Before Council with Sug-
gestions for More Sanitary
Conditions

AS result OF the open meeting
held by the Woman's Club at the
Presbyterian Church Tuesday after
noon, committe from that organ
ization visited the council chamber
at Tuesday nights meeting, and
through their spokesman, Mrs. l..
E. Johnson, made a vigorous plea
for improvements in the sanitation
and appearance of the city.
The ladies made it plain that in
no way did they wish their appear
ance to be taken in the nature of a
demand or protest, but merely as
an indication of their wish to help
in every way possible in any action
the council might see fit to take in
bettering conditions along sanitary
lines.
In addition to attacking at once
the problem of general cleanup,
the ladies suggested that special at
tention be paid during the coming
hot weather to the inspection of
meats, vegetables and milk. They
also urged that accumulations of
waste water in the streets, partic-
ularly west Second street, be rem
edied; that crossings be put in at
points on west Second street; that
cement sidewalk be constructed
along the north side of Second street
between Pacific and Tacoma streets,
and that Kennewick avenue be
graded and improved as soon as
possible.
After Mrs. johnson had finished
speaking, the mayor answered the
committee, assuring them that the
council was in entire accord with
the women's clubs in their desire to
see a better, cleaner city and that
they would use all haste possible
in solving the problem in way
fairest to all citizens. In regard to
other improvements suggested, he
informed the ladies that these would
be made under the special improve
ment district law which goes into
effect next month.
After the ladies had departed,
leaving treat of punch and waters
for the council, as an indication of
good feeling, the council gave in
struction to the marshal to at once
abate the waste water nuisance near
the Methodist church. This has
been a bad mudhole for the past
couple of years, on account Of the
water users in that end of the town
bringing the water across Second
street on the surface. The marshal
was instructed to see that this is
remedied by the use of siphon.
A lengthy discussion ofhow best
to solve.the city garbage problem
was then taken up. A copy of the
health ordinance in force at Top
penish was then read. The Toppe-
nish ordinance had been recon-
mended by the deputy state health
inspector on one of his recent visits.
It is rigorous measure, if enforced,
and something of the sort may be
drafted for this city. 1t is probable
that every family will be forced to
purchase and use covered garbage
can of uniform pattern, these to be
emptied couple of times weekly bv
licensed scavengers and the expense
charged to the household.
Council adjourned to meet to-
night to take up water franchise of
the N. P. I. Co. and the new fire
ordinance. :j

self to center field.
Criderman got out of the hole
fairly well, allowing but two more
runs. He finished the game strong
and with decent support could have
BANKED the visitors the remainder
of the time.
In the fifth, Walters twisted his
game leg trying to tag a runner at
second and had to be carted down
town in the docs auto. This is
the same leg which he broke last
fall playing foot ball, and It was
feared at first that it was fractured
again. But Pat" was around after
the game with the aid of a cane,
though he probably will play no
more this season.
In the eighth inning the hospital
hoodoo got in some more work, this
time the visitors pitcher being
the victim. The Portland catcher
slammed the ball toward second to
shut off a steal. The throw went
low and caught the boxman under
the ear, as he turned to watch the
play, laying him out cold for about
five minutes. More work for the
doc. He got the unfortunate player
on his feet after bit but too weak
to continue the game.
The Portland boys have a good
ball team, but whether they have
any edge on our fellows is still a
question in the minds of the fans.
At any rate, if return game could
be arranged it would bring out a
bigger crowd than was out last Sun
day-and that was some crowd.
The score:

The home for Kenne-
1 wick's newest industry,
milling, is practically COM
pleted. The picture shows
the mill as it looked the first
OF this week. Contractor
Newman now has his force
tearing away the scaffolding
and preparing for the ma
chinery, most of which is
now in the Watson ware
house. Mr.. Helm, the mill
er, leaves tonight for Spo-
kane, where he will finish
buying some small parts to
add to the carload ready to
ship. All the machinery
will be in the building by
the end of next week and
the mill will be in readiness
to handle the fall crop OF
wheat. The capacity OF the
mill under ordinary condi-
tions will be a hundred bar
rels a day, and by crowding
the output can be increased
to about one hundred and
twenty-five a day.

LOSES
HER FIRST GAME
S. p. S. Boys from Portland Turn the
Trick in Weird Contest
Players Injured

Kennewick was mangled mentally
and physically Sunday when their
luck turned and they lost their first
game of the season to the S. P. & S.
team Of Portland by a score of 10
to 7. They also lost the services,
temporarily, IF two of their best
men, Capt. Martin being put out
of the game with split thumb and
second baseman Walters joining the
crutch brigade with badly twisted
leg.
The game was wonderful ex-
hibition of what punk playing two
good ball teams can do when they
get to going to the bad. The score
should have been about 1 to 2 in
favor of the visitors. Each team
Wed with the other in the number
of fumbles muffs and wild throws.
The visitors excused their bad act
ing by laying it to the strange
grounds, while some of the Berry
Plckers' troubles probably could be
blamed on the fact that several of
their men were playing out of posi-
tion on account of injuries to their
team mates.
Notwithstanding the poor play
ing, the game was an interesting
one. The visitors never got so far
ahead that Kennewick didn't have
a chance to pull the game out OF
the fire. Anything might have
happened with the kind of ball both
teams were playing, and this gave
the fans plenty to 'holler" about,
W hich chance they certainly made
the most Of.
Larkin started in the box for
Kennewick and started we'll, blank
ing the visitors in the first inning,
striking two of the three men out.
In Kennewick's half of the same
inning, the fire works began to &c
off. Almost the first ball pitched
to Martin, who led off at bat, hinged
the captain on his razor" thumb
and he retired to DR.. Crosby's auto
to have his hand bandaged while
Smith took his place. Smith got
; his base on balls and the Portland
boys balloon went up. A succession
of boots" and wild throws gave
Kennewick three runs and the fans
began to murmur same old story,
nothing new".
1t was bum guess, as Portland
proved when they came to bat
They went right after Punk" and
soon had the high school boy in
trouble. Before the fans could
hardly realize what had happened
three scores were in, none were Out

realized that L was IN q place In which
the audience had gathered for a set

But there was one thought which

was to impress upon those boys the

efforts expended. don't know whether

that most Of the fellows to whom
talked come Rrctty noarly agreeing
with my views.
Great Enthusinsm.
AS I have said before st was 4 good
meeting. Probably not so largely Mt
tended as 1T might have been. but what
was lacked in numbers WIS made up
In carncstncss. That Richmond College
deserves better place In Southern
athletics was conceded on ali sides,
and that the student body would aid
i'll bringing about this result was also
conceded.
The question Of how to secure this
result was that which was most Sc
riously considered. Some were Of the
opinion that 1t would be necessary to
go through considerable period OF
training. Others held that 1t was but
necessary for every man In college to
put his shoulder to tho wheel and
help q little The latter Wow pre-
vailed.
DR.. Dickey, president OF the Athletic
Association, made talk which reached
tho hearts Of the men present. He
said that the thing to do was to get
the men out TO try for tho teams. Man
ager Corley repeated the same senti-
ment Captain Taylor, Of the track
team, said the same thing
The result Of nll this talk way that

College Spirit Returns.
1t seems 10 me that there is a re-
awakening at Richmond College. + can
the timo when Richmond College was
a name to conjure with in athletics
The baseball and footba" teams were
among the best in the South. Why
this condition failed to continue am
not in Il position to say. But that It
did not ontinue the records OF the
last few years Will prove.
Now. however. things have changed.
The fellows at college are anxious to
win back the lost laurels. They realize
that in the coming open air meet they
have a chance to put Richmond Col
lege on q plane with the very best
schools in the country. Not only this,
but it Will gain for the college a GER
tain amount OF publicity which could
not otherwise be obtained.
Every effort Will be put forth to

will be out and the result OF 1t all
will be a greater college spirit than
has ever before been manifested.
