OUTLOOK FOR THE COMING; YEAR

The outlook for Kennewick and
the Kennewick valley, for 1911 is
very bright. Conditions for a BUM
per wheat crop were never better.
Spring followed good winter with
out any disastrous results to the
fruits. The construction of ten
thousand dollar depot for the North
Coast, the spending of nearly a
hundred thousand dollars for sewer
purposes, and fifty thousand for a
new high school will mean more
money started in the cantile
channels in Kennewick than has
been turned loose in the town in any
three years of its previous existance,
to say nothing of the employment of
many men and teams in the clearing
of raw land.
Business men are not slow to see
and prepare to take advantage of the
opportunities to be offered. The
J.E. Tull company, nothing.prevent-
ing, will erect a handsome brick
block to accommodate It's increasing
trade, the Chas. H. Collins Co. has
plans under way for increased capac-
tiles N the way of new buildings
and additions to the ones they now

'Cascarets' End All
the Miserable Days
A ten cent box insures you against
a Sick Headache, BiliOnsness,
Constipation or a Bad Stom-
ach for n long time.

Primitive men did not need
Cascarets. They lived outdoors,
ate plenty of fruit, and all of
their food was coarse. We mod
ern people are different. We ex-
ercise too little, eat little fruit,
and our food is too fine, too rich.
We cant have the bowels clog
ged up and keep we'll. 1t means
that the food retained there de-
Gays. The decay creates poisons.
And those poisons are sucked into
the blood through the very ducts
intended to suck in the nutriment.
So we must make our choice. We
must live, to an extent, like the
primitive man, else we must eat
Cascarets.
Cascarets do what the right
food would do, what plenty of ex-
ercise does. The effect is as nat
ural from one as the other. The
question is one of convenience. If
you choose Cascarets; take them as
you take food, not in large doses
rarely, but a tablet at 4 time. That
is the way to keep well. Get a
10 cent box now.

Use The Rest Room

We noticed Saturday at differ

sitting on the benches over

did not use the Rest Room.
This room room was fixed up to

as can be to use it. The room

VIII Have Good Crop.

Meade County has an excellent
crop prospect, w. F. Balm of that
county, who is a relative of Coun-
ty Commissioner Balm, declares
his wheat will make as big or
bigger yield as last year. He
has several hundred acres in.
One thing that has helped Meade
much is the good rainfall during
MAY, nearly six inches falling.
According to A. ]. Friesen, of
Meade county, the wheat pros
pect is better than last year on
his farm. With favorable wealth
for few days longer his wheat
will run 80 bushels to the acre,
Mr.. Friesen says.-Hutchinson

Ford-KeItner.

Fred F. Ford and Sylvia Kelt-
ner were united in marriage on
Wednesday evening at the home
of the brides parents Mr.. and
Mrs, Keltner living eight miles
south east of Meade. Rev. Baker
performed the ceremony. The
immediate mem bers of the two
families and Misses Clara Flick
and Essie Mcclure were the
only invited guests. Miss Flick
played beautiful wedding
march while the couple came into
the room where the guests were
assembled A most splendid
wedding supper was served
where all did ample justice. The
young couple left the next day
for Barton County where they
will remain till harvesting is done
there when they will return to
Meade County and reside about
10 miles south Of town.
This is worthy young. couple
and we wish them the full measure
of happiness in life. The un-
usual thing in this marriage is
that it is the fourth to take place
between these two families.
Both sets of young people evil
denuy know a good thing when
they find it. They became
acquainted when they lived in
the same community in Barton
County. The parents have every
reason to feel gratified with the
young peoples arrangement of
things. Evidently the only thing
that could stop the alliances is
the lack of material, for there
remains only girl in each
family.

Wheat Train
Here July 13
Lectures for Ladies, Boys and
Girls, Farmers and Bus
mess Men

The News is in receipt of a
letter and advertising matter for
the wheat Special" which will
make stop here, Thursday,
July 13, at lO:45 a. m. A mum Der
of speakers will talk on subjects
of interest to the farmer and
others. There will also be ex-
hibits and the whole will be a
great educational institution
1t is urged that all take advant-
age of this opportunity. The
letter from Mr.. Cottrell advises
the merchants to have a especial
bargain day" on the day the train
arrives and that the stores close
20 minutes before it is due.
This it is thought will help the
business men and draw good
crowd for the train. If our mer-
chants are in favor of of the bar
gain day plan we would like to
hear from them. We will get
out and advertise it if it is desired
but we must have an opinion as
to the advisability of the scheme
before we attempt it. If you
think it would be a good thing
come in and tell us so. At least
everyone should meet the train.
There is always something to be
learned, and in this age a man
never knows too much.

The News man was a business
visitor at Plains Tuesday. This
was our first visit to that town
and we were very much surpris-
ed that such a tSriving little city
had sprung up in such a short
time. They have number of
Exceptionally nice buildings and
good stocks of goods are carried.
The Elder building the upper
story of which is occupied by the
opera house and the commercial
club rooms is credit to the
town. Don Il. Edwards the
hustling real estate man has an
elegant Office, the furnishings of
which is not equalled in the west.
Coons & Jacobs have fine office
building nicely located and an air
of prosperity prevades the place.
The new hotel known as the
Cash hotel is a big institution of
the town. The house is owned
and managed by L. c. Cash, and
the building equipment and SER
vice are as good as can be found
in the country. Mr.. Cash is a
courteous landlord and looks
closely to the comfort of his
guests. Everything is scrupu-
lousy clean and tidy and it is a
pleasure to stop there. f. B.
Mcconnell of the Journal, the
best little paper on the Rock
Island, entertained us while we
we're not busy. Mac has a nice
business and deserves IT. In the
evening he and his wife and
charming little daughters took
us out to see the residence part
of town. Everywhere we wished
to go there we're cement walks
and nice and com modious resi-
dences and neatly kept yards
we're very much in evidence.
The town is we'll lighted, electric
lights being scattered through
out the residence section as well
as on the business street. While
there we met John Russell, who
is managing one of the largest
institutions in the town and K.
Henning manager for the Wilson
Land & Grain company. Plains
is a mighty good little town and
is outgrowing its size rapidly.

O. r. Stevens, President of

also president OF the Meade

a very pleasant call Monday
evening. He came up to attend

Patronage is light and expenses
heavy. A paper is usually at it's
worst at this season, and this is
true of The News. We are do
ing our best and the paper is not
what we would have it, and we
certainly appreciate the subscri-
Der who considers these points

dollar but the encouragement
accompanying it. The paper

long and we aim to give every
reader his dollars worth before
