was the greatest in the shows his
tory and the street pageants and
general carnival spirit which pre-
vailed more than made up for what
was lacking at the exhibition.
The band awards, in which Mos
COW, Lewiston and the Yakima Y M.
Z. A. bands were given first, second
and third prizes respectively, caused
no little dissatisfaction among
the band leaders at Spokane. The
inconsistency of the awards and the
seeming lack Of any serious attempt
at competent and careful judging
gave rise to the general opinion that
the outcome was more or less pre-
arranged affair.
Miss Bertha Leverich, who so
acceptably filled the role of Kenne-
wick's Princess at the Apple Show,
seems to have been very busy girl
since her departure from Kenne-
wick. In the following letter she
tells of some of the good times she
has had:
Spokane, Wash, Nov. %, 1910.

MERCHANTS VICTIMS Of
16-YEAR-OLD FORGER
Youth Passes Bogus Checks on Store
keepers-AlsO Confesses to
RObberies

One of the boldest, as we'll as the
youngest criminals that ever oper-
ated in Kennewick and vicinity
was caught in the police meshes last
Sunday. Joseph Evans was the
youthful forger and sneak thief, and
was apprehended in Bier's hardware
store by the Sheriff of Franklin
county.
When he was put in Jail the lad
who is not yet sixteen years old,
confessed to many of his crimes.
He stated that he had robbed four
houses up the river, getting but
little at any of the places, and sew
eral residences iii Pasco, and one
here. While / was doing the job
here his step father was with him.
The police have proof that be was
the guilty person who entered The
Toggery ana Howe's, and be con-
fessed that be entered the police
headquarters and got away with all
of Ellis collection of knives.
At forging, tho, he found the
easiest picking. He got hold of a
check book on Pasco bank and
signed his mothers name to several
checks. One, for s1S, he passed
in Stewart & Reser's store, buying
a pair Of shoes and getting the
balance in cash. Sheppard's store
was victimized to the extent of a
fifte en-dollar pair of field glasses
and 50 on a seventeen-dollar check.
A twelve-dollar check wac cashed at
Simms' paint store, and a two-bit
check was paid for his crossing
the ferry at Richland.
When he was caught, he had just
completed making the purchase of a
huge gun and a belt full of cart
ridges.
On account of his youth, he will
be placed in the reform school, while
his uncle and step-father will be
more severely dealt with.

STREET LIGHTS
BY JAN. FIRST
P. P. & L. Co. Comes to Terms
with City and Satisfactory
Contract is Signed

Practically every street intersec-
ton in the city limits will have
light, when the Pacific Power &
Light company has completed tho
contract, which was signed at the
special council meeting last Friday
night. Of course all thought of the
municipal plant is now abandoned,
as the manager, in his talk ex-
planned his willingness to serve the
city better in the future, and at
rates that are no higher than other
cities OF our class are paying.
The contract provides for sixty
two lights-1OO watt tungstens, and
five new arcs. The arcs will be
placed on Front Street, and will be
maintained by the O.-W. R. & N.
The smaller lights will be hung ON
wo oden poles about ten feet high,
and will have a sixteen-inch reflec-
tor over each.
The district covered under the
new lighting system Includes all the
residence portion of town in the
territory bounded by the railroad
tracks on the north, to the canal on
the south and west and including
the larger portion of Beach's Addi-
ton. In addition to this territory,
there will he lights placed in the
eastern portion of the Garden Tracts,
and following the main travelled
road up the river as far as the city
pump house. On Washington
street the lights will be placed on
each corner as far as Ohio street in
Weisel's addition.
The lights will be turned on at
dusk by central switch at the
power house, which will operate the
arcs as well. and will be kept burn
ing till daylight. The price agreed
upon was twenty dollars per light
for the year, and the contract is for
five years. If at the end of the five
year period the city wishes to renew
the contract, the price will be made
$16 per light. The former con-
tract was for SIS per light for
year, but the new price was salts
factory, considering the number of
new lights that will be added by
the growth of the city before the
contract has expired.
The manager has given the as
surance that the lights will be in
operation by the first of the year,
and that the material had already
been ordered from the east. J. G..
Martin, the company's construction
engineer is already on the ground.
and has promised to rush things.
He is now assembling his force and
will commence the actual construc-
ton next week.
By the way, that. water main ex-
tension on Fifth street has been
ordered laid-this time from head
quarters.

the tract under irrigation from a
we'll which he will have drilled this
winter.
Mr.. Cresswell is one of the sub
stantial old-timers of the Horse
Heaven country and has reached
that age where he would take life a
little less strenously. It is for this
reason, and to bring his family closer
to city conveniences that he has dis
posed of his wheat land and will
devote his time I'M future to fruit
raising and dairying on his High
land tract.

dy. well satisfied with their achieve

ay less than three months ago and
ping to work under what were at
int very discouraging conditions,
ehas developed his meagre. ma
Ial into an organization which

rure that they will give good
Nount of themselves. When Prof.

MI change it to The best band in

ame true, and by the time another
mr rolls around the boys are going

The band reached Spokane Sun
iay evening about six O'Clock and
i ten next morning they were at
HE first station ready to begin the
street. concert competition which
hsted until noon. The forenoon
WAS bitterly cold and anything but
deal conditions under which to
blay. The boys went through the
program without slip. however,
baying a higher class Of music than
ras attempted by any other band
bring the contest.
All were glad to get back to the
Dtel at noon, get thawed out and

Riverside at one O'Clock. Some

HOME
NURSING
BED MAKING.

One of the most essential items in
the care of patient is proper prep
aration and care of the bed. One Of
tho first requirements OF good nurse
Is her ability in this line, and yet how
seldom do we find anyone except a
trained nurse who understands this
matter SO essential to the patients
comfort?
First, the mattress must be protect
ed, both for the sake Of cleanliness
and for economy. Unless the patient
has Involuntary urinations or bowel
movements, q soft pad will be suf-
ficient. over this the lower sheet
should be drawn smoothly and pinned
to the under side Of the mattress at
the corners. The upper sheet and
blanket come next. These should be
well tucked in at the foot of the bed,
but not SO tightly as to be uncom-
Portable for the patient. The upper
edge Of the blanket must be protected
by turning the end Of the sheet back
over 1t. A patient often is uncomfort-
able with the usual heavy white coun-
terpane over him, although he may
fail to flnd the source OF his discom-
fort Counterpanes interfere with the
circulation of the air and although
they add to the looks of bed, the pa
tient's comfort must be the first con-
sideration. A light weight, loosely
woven spread may be used.
When the patient is very Ill, or II
the nature of the illness is such that
the lower sheet becomes soiled, a
draw sheet should be used. After the
lower sheet has been fastened in
place, a sheet Of rubber cloth. about
a yard square, is placed across the
middle of the bed. allowing the upper
edge to meet the pillow. This is
pinned in place by one safety pin at
each corner. Over this is placed a
sheet that has been folded crosswise
The hens should come at the bottom
80 as not to form a ridge under the
patients back. The sheet should be
securely tucked in at the sides.
The changing of the linen should be
managed with as little fatigue and dis
comfort to the patient as possible
This can be done easily by one per
son, unless the patient is very Ill OF
helpless. Only the upper sheet OF
blanket is left over the patient; the
lower sheet is then loosened at top
bottom and sides; one side is then
folded along its entire length. length
wise as hatly as possible close up te
tho patient. The fresh sheet should
then be folded lengthwise, alternately
backward and forward. for half iti
width, and placed on the side of the
bed from which the soiled one has
been removed. The nurse then goes
to the other side of the bed. turns the
patient carefully on his side facing
the nurse. She then tucks the folded
sheets close up to him, smoothing the
clean sheet carefully. She then turns
the patient over onto his other side
The new era., 1911-04-20

In SO doing he passes the folded
sheets, SO that they are now at his
back and he is lying on the clean
sheet. The soiled sheet can now be
removed and the other half Of the
clean one smoothed out and the sides
and ends tucked In. The upper sheet
and blanket are then replaced as be-
fore. In changing the upper sheet
the clean one is spread over the top
OF the bed and held in place while the
soiled sheet and other clothing are re-
moved. In this way we avoid expo
sing and chilling the patient.
When the patient cannot be turned
on his side the sheet must be changed
being loosened at the top and pushed
we'll down under the pillow, the clean
sheet is then started at the top and
pushed down under the pillow also. In
changing the sheet In this manner
two persons are required, one stand
ing at each side of the bed and work
ing the sheets down slowly and care
fully.
In making bed care must be taken
come under the patients back. Sew
eral times a day the under sheet must
be smoothed free from wrinkles. All
bed linen should be thoroughly
warmed and aired before commencing
the making Of the bed, and everything
should be placed in a convenient
place SO there will be no delay during
the process.
In special cases 1t is necessary to
vary, slightly. the manner Of making
the bed. In some operative cases the
bed must be arranged so one portion
can. be changed without disturbing the
remainder. In confinement cases the
bed should be made up with draw
sheet and then a second rubber sheet
and draw sheet should be placed over
| the first one. By this arrangement
the second one can be withdrawn
after labor. leaving clean bed well
protected with the draw sheet. II
there is no provision made for rub
ber sheet, about twenty thicknesses OF
newspapers may be very. well substi'
tuted. Many people think an old blan
ket or comforter can be used, but
these should not be allowed II they
can possibly be avoided, for invariably
they are full of germs.
In cases of fractured limbs one per
son must gently lift the injured limb
while another changes the sheet un
der 1t. In these cases a wide board
(table leaf or ironing board) should
be placed across the bed under the
mattress to prevent 1t from sagging
Water beds and air beds are uset
in cases of prolonged illness to pre-
vent bed-sores.
The old-fashioned feather bed has
no place in a sick room. Where one
is in use the nurse must use great
deal of ingenuity to be able to dis
pense with it, for in this age anyone
who uses feather bed is liable tc
be very "set" in her ways.
