HEAR GOVERNOR FOLK

The high school lecture course will
be brought to a close next Wednes-
day evening when Elk. Gov. Joseph
Folk of Missouri delivers his address
at the Presbyterian church.
In order that those who attend
the Yakima celebration may get
back in time to hear the lecture,
there will be special run made by
the North Coast motor car, which
will leave Yakima returning at $3.50
and arrive here about $50. So,
Notwithstanding the conflict in dates
it is thus assured that all who wish
may attend both attractions, and
the church will undoubtedly be
crowded to its capacity by those an
xious to hear this statesman of ma
tional reputation.
The ex-governor is a presidential
possibility, and it behooves all to
hear and see the man for whom they
may have the opportunity to vote
next year.

PLAN BIG WAREHOUSE

Realizing that the Importance OF
this city as distributing center will
be greatly augmented when service
is started by the North Coast, the
Commercial Club, through special
committee, is now at work on the
proposition of providing adequate
warehouse facilities for lease to firms
who will wish to locate wholesale
stocks here but are not at present
ready to build warehouses of their
own.
To finance the enterprise, COM
pany will be formed and outside
capital will be enlisted. Those
who have the plan in hand estimate
that about $4,000 will be needed
to secure site and put up a suit
able fire-proof structure. This
amount they have no doubt can be
readily subscribed, as several appli'
cations are now on file for floor
space in such a building, thus in.
suring that the investment woulc
be a profitable one from the start.

NORTH COAST HAS
ALMOST ARRIVED
Regular Schedule Next Week-HOppel
Agent-Trafiic Men Our
Guests

Hustle is the watchword all
along the North Coast right Of way
this week, and the operatives are
making every effort to have every
thing in readiness for the regular
schedule which will be put in oper-
alton next Thursday.
Though the exact schedule of
trains could not be learned at this
writing, it is understood that at
first there will be one passenger
train daily each way between Walla
Walla and North Yakima, one local
freight each way from Alfalfa to
North Yakima and a daily round
trip by a motor car between Yak
ina and Kennewick.
The old building on Front street
which the Northern Pacific used in
the early days has been secured and
will again be pressed into service as
a depot, temporarily, until the
North Coasts new structure can be
completed.
+. L. Hoppel, who has been local
representative for the Northern Pa
cific for the past three years, has
rendered his resignation to the Of
fcials of that road and will act as
local agent for the North Coast, his
place being taken in the n. P. Of
flee by Chas. Crawford Of Pasco.
"Hopp's" many friends will be
glad to hear that he is to stay in
the city, and his knowledge of local
traffic conditions will make him a
valuable man to his new employers.
On Thursday next, the 23rd, a
delegation of North Coas. traffic Of
| fields headed by r. B. Miller, gen.
eral traffic manager, will be in Ken
newick as guests of the Commercial
Club and will be entertained at a
banquet on that evening, the details
of which are being arranged by the
entertainment committee.
1t is hoped that big majority O
the business men of the city may bt
at the Club rooms next Thursday
night to meet the railroad men.

HEATER COMPANY TAKEN OVER

The kennewick Orchard Heater
Co., which was organized last spring
has been purchased by the Fruit 4
Produce Co. who will assume all Ii
abilities. The assets of the old COM
pany consist of unpaid notes given
by fruit growers in payment for
their smudging apparatus installed
last year, the machinery for max
ing the pots, and storage tank for
oil.
The finance committee of the old
company have finished auditing the
company's affairs and find that the
deficit growing out of last year'sop-
erations will run about s15 per 500
on the capitalization of 5000. This
money was raised by notes given by
various business men of the town,
who, after the Is percent assessment
has been yaid, will have their can
celled notes returned to them, and
the affairs of the company brought
to close.

JUDGE GROSSCUP
WILL DISCUSS RATES
Coming to kennewick Next Monday
to Consult Business Men Re-
garding Freight Tariffs.

Judge Benjamin S. Grosscup, of
Tacoma, the attorney who has been
retained by the Commercial Club to
present Kennewick's demand for a
distributive freight rate before the
Railway Commission, will be in the
city next Monday, the Goth.
Judge Grosscup is coming to con-
suit his client the Commercial Club,
as body, and also to gather all the
first-h hand data possible from inter-
views with the business men in
dividually, regarding the city 8
needs and claims for being made a
distributing center.
The principal thing that the city
must be prepared to show the Com
mission is that it has the stuff here
to distribute, providing it is granted
such a rate. This we will be able
to do, through the testimony of our
produce houses, our lumber yards,
etc., and we are also prepared to
show that in the event of such fav-
orable rating, several large whole
sale houses will Immediately lease
warehouse space here and locate
stocks for distribution.
We believe the business men
generally are alive to the fact that
the successful outcome of this rate
litigation will be the biggest thing
for Kennewick that has happened
since the water first came down the
ditch and that all will cheerfully
bear their share of the financial
burden which it attaches.
To the opinion of Judge Gross cup
and others who are in position to
know, the Railway Commission will
grant the rate, and the courts will
sustain it, if the case is we'll handled .
1t is well worth trying for, any
how.

CHURCH MAKES GOOD SHOWING

The annual meeting of trustees OF
the First Presbyterian church was
held last Tuesday evening with a
good attendance. The affairs of the
society were shown to be in very
prosperous condition, especially
good reports being submitted by
the Ladies; Aid Society and the
Sunday school. The ladies have
raised over $3.50 during the past
year and the enrolment of the Sun
day school shows an increase OF 1OC
per cent since moving into the new

BASEBALL SUNDAY

The meeting of the baseball fans
at the Commercial Club rooms last
night was fairly well attended and
the outlook for the season was given
a pretty thorough discussion. 4.
J. Tulles was elected manager and
A. r. Gardner treasurer of the as
sociation.
As starter toward getting the
baseball bug to buzzing properly,
there will be game arranged for
Sunday between the first team and
Pasco. Or if the Pasco team can
not be secured, two teams Of local
players will have tryout. At any
rate, the longed-for yell Of Play
Ball" will again beheard on the local
diamond Sunday at 3 o'clock Plans
were discussed as to the best means
of putting the grounds in shape,
which are now in a deplorable con-
dition. 1t was agreed that money
can be raised to cover the infield
with clay and run a pipe line to
bring city water from the school,
house.
Manager Tulles read a letter from
Yakima in which Kennewick is
asked to join a four-team league
along with Yakima, Walla Walla
and one other city not yet decided
upon. The manager will at once
learn more of the details of the four
league scheme and the boys will
then put it up to the citizens as to
whether Kennewick can be assured
the necessary support to 60 on the
circuit.
If Kennewick could go into the
league with a properly outfitted
team and a good field to play on, it
would be a splendid boost for the
city, but to do so will require more
money and gingery support than
has heretofore been given by base
ball supporters in this city.

cient since these must claim more
than their share of attention which
should be distributed equally.
In the opinion of the doctor, the
only way in which medical inspec-
ton in the schools may be rendered
efficient is bya follow up system,
the inspector making frequent calls
at the schools and keeping close tab
on the children who are ailing. He
advocates that medical attention
should be given to the school at pub
lie expense since it is a deplorable
fact that many parents are unable
to give their children the treatments
at the proper time and they are COM
PEELED to go through life with defects
which are handicap to them in
their careers. For the sake of the
children, not the parents, he is also
in favor of the state clothing the
chilli with school uniforms and look
ing after it's food.

TO CELEBRATE
FIRST BERRIES
Arrangements Being Made for Big
Strawberry Festival Early
in May

The kennewick valley produces
the first and finest strawberries in
the Northwest and we are going to
let the country know it this year by
holding a rousing jollification and
festival as soon as the shipping sea-
son is well under way and while the
berries of other districts are still
green on the vines.
Such are the plans which the
publicity committee of the CONNER
cial Club is busily working out.
While it a little early yet to an
nounce the details for this celebra-
ton Of the coming of the best fruit
that the Creator ever made" it is
probable that competitive exhibit
will be held and prizes awarded the
most successful growers of the sever
al varieties. In addition there will of
course be feasting and dancing and
other forms of entertainment pro-
vided for visitors.
Last years festival was held SO
late in the season that many Of the
best fields had been stripped of their
choicest berries. Those promoting
this years affair are planning the
event for the very earliest date pos
sible, thus allowing the growers to
show their best product and at the
same time to give the district wide
publicity by holding the festival at
a time when ripe berries in other
districts are unheard Of.
Portland's Rose Carnival and Spo-
kane's Apple Show are all right, but
oh, you Kennewick Strawberry
Festival.

VALLEY POULTRYMEN
FORM incorporation
Old Benton County Association is Res
urrected---NewO Officers are
Chosen

Quite number of the poultry
enthusiasts of the valley assembled
at the Commercial Club rooms
Saturday afternoon for the purpose
OF forming an association and ar
ranging for a show in Kennewick
next winter.
Chas. H. Collins was elected tenn
porary chairman of the meeting
and R. c. Mounsey secretary. Of
ficers were elected to hold until the
annual meeting next December, as
follows: F. E. De Sellem, President; !;
Chas. H. Collins, Vice-President; ];
r. C.. Mounsey, Secretary and
Treasurer. E. M. Sly, l.. Spiegel,
G. Hoadley and Mrs. Helen Will
liams were elected a governing board
to look after the affairs of the As
sociation, serving in this capacity
with the three officers.
The selection of name for the
new Association evoked considerable
discussion but it was finally voted
to take the title of the Benton
County Poultry Association, the
same as the old association which
was formed here some two or three
years ago. The constitution and
bylaws of the old association were
read and it was decided that the
directors revise them materially
and get copies of bylaws from sim
liar organizations elsewhere to guide
them in making necessary changes.
Steps will undoubtedly be taken
at once to incorporate, after which
the county commissioners will be
asked to appropriate the $3.50 to
defray the expences of the annual
poultry show, which appropriation
is authorized by state law.
The matter of a date for the
show is to be settled before the next
, meeting in April, and will be gov
erned largely by the date on which
a Judge may be secured. This
matter was left to the directors,
who are now in correspondence
with several poultry judges.
Out-of-town vice presidents will
he appointed, one for each town or
district throughout the county,
who will assist the local officers in
keeping up interest in the associa-
ton and in arranging exhibits for
the show.

FIRES IN CITY AND COUNTRY
Hursey Furniture Store Badly Scorchedby Blaze
Early this Morning; Edwards Home
in Section Seven Destroyed

St. Patrick's day was ushered in
with fireworks when lively blaze
broke out about 7 O'Clock this NOR
ming in the frame building on East
Second street occupied by the l.. L..
Hursey Furniture Co. The fire
originated from the cook stove in
the Hurseys' living apartment in
the rear of the store and burned
fiercely for half an hour, badly
damaging the building and stock.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hursey lost all
their household goods and the stock
in the balcony of the store is almost
a complete loss from flame, smoke
and water. Most of the furniture
on the floor of the room was re-
moved before being greatly damaged.

ly the most important to its welfare,
the boys and girls.
Taking up the physical condition
Of the American youth, he produced
appalling statistics of the number of
pupils in the schools of New York
who are suffering from physical de-
fects, and to bring the application
nearer home, gave extracts from the
records of the physical director Of
the Washington State College show
ing what per cent of the students
enrolled there are physically short
of the 100 per cent standard Re-
cords from the Normals were refer
red to. The audience was electri-
fed by Prof. SIMPSONS statement
that Japan had had medical inspec-
ton in her schools for fifteen years
at the time when Spokane had had
it for two months.
Specific instances were given
where eye trouble in country schools
was directly traceable to poor light
ing. The speaker called attention
to the ignorance of the school dir
ectors in placing windows on both
sides of the room and so producing
a cross light. Fifteen thousand
deaths occur annually in the United
States from tuberculosis and many
of these are caused by the ignorance
Of people in regard to sanitary con-
ditions Whats the use of $1,000
education with a ten cent body?"
asked Prof. Sampson, and empha-
sized further that education is of
little use unless health is an accom-
paniment 1t is absolutely unjust
to expect a child with imperfect
health to study and achieve good re-
suits in the school room.
Speaking Of the policy of the col
leges in regard to athletics, Prof.
Sampson expressed himself not in
the least in sympathy with their
methods, because in many cases
some thirty or forty of the best built
and strongest students, who have
little need for special attention from
the physical director, since their
bodies are in nearly perfect condi-
ton, are selected from hundreds OF
students who have poor health, and
are in desperate need of physical
exercise, and these few are chosen
to advertise the school or college on
the athletic field, while those who
need the attention which is devoted
to the training of the athletic stars,
must suffer in consequence.
In few remarks, lauditory OF
Prof. SIMPSONS s adress, Supt. Lewis
prophesied that the remarks which
had been made would lead to the
community's accomplishing many
things in the way of educational i'm
provement and that the people o.
Kennewick would owe Prof. Samp
son debt of lasting gratitude.
In DIR. Hewetson's talk, he called
attention to the fact that although
provision was made by the govern
ment for the supply of gratuitou
advice to the farmer who had ailint
stock or infertile land, which is dis
tributed from the agricultural col
