Babcock press which was installed
by the Spokane branch of the Amer
lean Type Founders Co. Our bust
ness during December amounted to
nearly twice what it was six months

Incidently, we might mention
that the new machine is a very
heavy affair. We should guess,
roughly, that it is composed of about
25,OOO parts, each one of which
weighs in the neighborhood of ton.

In the senate Secretary Will T. Laube
has employed two women as stenog-

The climax came last week, how
ever, when Mrs. Emma Smith De
Voc, suffrage leader of Western
Washington, was distinctly Snubbed
by both houses. Mrs. DeVoe sought
chance to speak. The lower house
refused her this opportunity by a vote
of 40 to 43 but later allowed her to
use the room after the house had ad-
journed.
In the senate the snub was even
more complete. Senator George u &.
Piper pleaded with his fellow solons
to allow Mrs DeVoe to talk to them
but they turned deaf ear and finally
appointed ripper committee OF one
to hear Mrs. DeVoe and then report
back.
This action came about in this
manner. Senator Piper was pleading
with his voice pitched high with trem-
ulos, when Senator Harry Rosenhaupt
of Spokane interjected:

FINLEY Will
GET NO POWER
Farmers Cannot Come to Terms
With the Power Company
Project is Abandoned

That Finley will get no power for
irrigation this year, is the latest
word sent out by the Pacific Power
q Light company, thru local man.
ager r. J. Andrus. The lack Of
sufficient contracts, is the cause that
is given for the abandonment of the
proposition to furnish power down
the valley for irrigation this sum-
mer.
The company claims to have done
all in its power to get the required
amount of horsepower to make the
line feasible, but up to Wednesday
night had only succeeded in secur-
ing about third of the necessary
amount. The man whom the COM
pany has had on the job for the past
ten days finds that nearly every man
in the lower valley is desirous of
having the power, should he ever
need it, but they were all very slow
to sign contract for a stated horse
power to be delivered this spring.
The abandonment of this project
for even another year seems like let
ting an excellent opportunity for
the development of a large territory
slip by, but it is hoped that some
arrangement can be made before
the summer is over for the installa-
ton of a power line thru Finley to
Hover.

most popular young people, Miss

afternoon at PrOsser.
The young people had kept their

noon train to the county seat where
the nuptial knot was tied by Judge
0. K. HOlcomb at the court house.
Mrs. Munday is the eldest daugh-

trade as painter and sign writer.
He has recently purchased property
on South Washington street and built
a home where he and his bride have

for the year of $4,000, divided
about as follows: Fruit $50 900,
merchandise $4,000, oils s25, 900.
Mr.. Sly said he was gratified by
the business done, which had netted
the stockholders a Is per cent divi-
dend, but urged that more capital
was needed to carry on and develop
the rapidly increasing business.
Following the report came the
election of seven trustees. These
were selected by districts and are as
follows: Garden Tracts, P. F..
Mors; Highlands, f. O. Keene;
Section I. Jas. Johnson; Section 9,
F. F. Dean; Richland, O. Rounds;
Finley, F. E. DeSellem; Hover, w.
l.. Blackman.
Then followed the resolution de-
claring that the company discon-
tinue handling fruit. Its introduc-
ton followed by some lively
discussion and it looked doubtful
for time that the motion would
carry. Manager Sly came to its
rescue with IL rousing talk, inciden-
tally mentioning that were the com
pany to continue handling fruit
during the coming season he could
not be persuaded to act as manager,
as the problem was too much to ex-
pect any one man to handle sue
cessfully.

JOLLY BANQUET
Master Mechanic Saxton Of the
Oregon w ashington Honored
by Co-Workers

While one may realize in vague
way that the building of the Oregon
Washington Railroad Il Navigation
Co.'S line through Kennewick has
added much to the city's business
and social life during the past
months, yet he should have been
at the Hotel Kennewick on Satur-
day night to get "A real insight into
just how large and Jolly bunch of
the North Coast boys" there are
with us at present.
The occasion of the gathering was
the banquet and presentation
rendered Master Mechanic w. NJ.
Saxton by the employees of the road
working under his direction.
There were ninety in the party
which at nine O'Clock sat down to
the elegant repast which had been
prepared by host and hostess Claus
sen, Chef w. H. Fowler and his
force of helpers.
After the last course had been
finished, DR.. F. M. Crosby as toast
master called upon G. M .Agnew, who
in neat little speech made the
presentation of the gift which the
employees had procured for the oc-
casion, very beautiful and valu-
able diamond ring. Mr.. Saxton
responded, thanking the donors
feelingly and stating that in his long
experience as a railroad builder he
had never before been favored with
a more loyal and willing body of
co-workers. The POSTMASTER then
called upon in succession two or
three dozen of the ether diners, all
of whom responded with brief re-
marks tending to show the high
esteem in which Mr.. Saxton is re-
garded by those who come in daily
contact with him through their
work. Mrs. Ernest Auerswald
favored the company with singing
Annie Laurie.
Mrs. w. M. Saxton was unable,
through illness, to be present, but
was remembered by the whole party
standing, with glasses raised, in a
toast to the absent wife and mother.
After the dinner the company
went in a body to the moving
picture show where special program
had been prepared for them, after
which they returned to the dining
room, which had meanwhile been
cleared, and where dancing was en-
joyed for an hour or so.

DEPOT QUESTION
STILL HANGS FIRE
Plans Pass Fisrt and Second Read
ings in Face of Protest---New
Fire Ordinance Framed

Whether to grant the North
Coast a special privilege of erecting
a semi-fre proof building in the
fire limits or to make them comply
with the fire ordinance was the
question up before the council at
the last meeting, Tuesday night.
The location of the depot, as pro-
posed is within, the fire limits, and
when the streets were vacated, it
was done on the representation of
the company that modern freproof
building would be erected. Now
the proposition is to erect tempor-
ary building of stucco, to remain
for period of years, as yet un-
determined. Mr.. Butler, the at
torney for the company contending
that the time limit should be ten
years, while the members of the
council are of the opinion that FIVE
years is long enough for building
of that nature, should they agree to
allow it to be built.
Several interested townspeople
were present at the meeting and ex-
pressed their views on the depot
proposition. S. M. Lockerby stated
that it was upon the representation
of the company that substantial
building of pressed brick would lie
erected, and it was on those condi-
tons that the property owners were
willing to grant the streets. He
was of the opinion that it was up to
the company to keep its word, to
say nothing of granting then, a spec
ial privilege within the fire limits.
Mr.. Sheppard pointed out how
the building could be made t. COM
ply with the fire ordinance with
slight additional expense with the
same general plans, aud that they
should be compelled to comply with
the law, not trusting to chance that
they would ever live up to their
word the second time and build the
handsome building they now prom
ise for ten years hence. Tom Nc
Kahn and one or two others express
ed the same sentiment.
An ordinance granting the com,
pany the privilege of erecting the
building was given its first and sec
ond readings, with Reed and Gar
Der holding out against it, Tomp-
kins being absent.
A new fire ordinance was given
its first and second reading, as was
an. Ordinance providing for exits in
theaters, halls and play houses.
An ordinance granting the Ken
newick Milling company the right
to cross certain streets in the Beach
addition with a spur track was alsc
given its first and second readings.
The ordinance granting the North
Coast the right to erect and main
tain a line of telegraph poles was
given its third reading and ordered
published.
There will be special meeting oi
| the council next Saturday.

Friday, the thirteenth, was the date
on which Representatives B. B. Hor-
rigan and Nelson Rich introduced
their joint bill, house bill number 45,
for bridge across the Columbia river
between Kennewick and Pasco. In
spite of the double hoodoo which is
supposed to attach to Friday and the
thirteenth, the representatives will
bend every effort to the attempt to
put the bridge bill through at this ses-
sion.
The bill was at once referred to
the committee on appropriations where
it will probably rest, as all appropria-
tions are being investigated very care
fully, and $3.50, 600, the sum which
Horrigan and Rich ask, looks rather
large to the economical legislators at
this session.
MIR. Horrigan, however, hopes to
be able to convince the legislators that
it would be true economy TO give Ken
newick and Pasco the bridge.
The line upon which he is work
ing is this:
He hopes to induce the state high
way commission to run its great trunk
roads, one from Seattle and one from
Vancouver, Wash, both toward
Walla Walla and the eastern part of
the state, to junction near Kenne-
wick. The highway commission will
have to build bridge across the Col
umbia, and Horrigan points out that
this could be built at no place better
than between Kennewick and Pasco.
In this way the state could kill two
birds with one stone, getting both the
bridge needed for the great highway
system and the span between Kenne-
wick and Pasco. The Twin Cities
would also profit by snch a deal, for,
besides getting the bridge and doing
away with the disadvantages of ferry
they would get all the benefit of the
two great trunk roads.
The watchword of the session of
1911 is economy, however, and some
little trouble may be experienced in
getting the span across the Columbia.
Clarkston, Wash, wanted state
bridge across the Snake River, to af-
ford connection with Lewiston, Ida. ,
but the Asotin county representatives
have given up the plan for this session
because of the cry against any unusual
expenditures. Moreover it is prob
able that the legislature will repeal the
act passed at the last session, appro-
priating Sl00, 900 for the purchase OF
the Wenatchee bridge. The COM
mission appointed to make the pur-
chase refused to pay over the money,
alleging that the old bridge was no,
worth purchasing, and this year leg
islature will probably recall the $780,
900.
Members of the lower house had a
good laugh Thursday, January II,
when Representative Rich introduced
house bill No. Al. The heading ol
the bill, which is ITO establish and
maintain state hatchery on the Yak.

gested some would-be wit.
Mr.. Rich rose and stated that a
salmon hatchery was meant.
The bill was referred to the house
committee on fisheries of which D.
n. Mcmillan of Whatcom county is
chairman.
incidentally the bill is the shortes,
piece of proposed new legislation
which has been introduced at the ses-
sion thus far. Aside from the head
ing and Introduction, the body of the
bill consists of exactly two lines and
two words.
One hundred bills were introduced
during the first week session of the
legislature. Among these were near
ly all the most important pieces of
legislation which it is proposed to en-
act at this session. If the solons keep
up the pace they have laid out and
maintained thus far they may be able
to finish their work in 40 days instead
of the statutory 90. A bill to shorten
the session to this extent has been in
troduced and mis- ow in committee.
Among the bills which have attract
ed the most attention thus far are the
following:
The bill providing for industrial in
surance Under the provisions of
this act all hazardous operations would
contribute, through the contracting
companies, tax. Fixed sums would
be paid out of the proceeds in cases
of personal injury or death of work
men, state commission being pro-
provided for to handle the business.
This is one of the most advanced
phases of legislation to be introduced
and is patterned after the German
law.
A bill abolishing the death penalty
for murder and treason. A strong
fight is expected on this bill.
A bill providing for a complete in
vestigation of the state militia. This
is expected to bring some peculiar
conditions to light.
A bill abolishing all elective state
Offices except governor and lieutenant
governor, according to the recon-
mendations of Governor M. f. Hay,
has been introduced, but will prob
ably have little chance to be enacted
into law.
A bill providing that only matters
which directly interfere with the ad-
ministration of Justice shall be con-
sidered contempt has been introduced
by the Seattle delegation. This cor
responds with the federal law.
A storm center will probably be es-
tabliShed around bill which restricts
working women TO an eight-hour day
and a six-day week. The labor unions
are fighting hard for this law and it is
being combatted equally strenuously
by number of firms employing
women.
Considering the fact that women
are now enfranchised in Washington
and have the same voting rights a.
men, the 1911 legislators have beer
very careless in regard to the fair sex
In spite of an attempt to have Womer
stenographers and clerks put on the
same footing with men, the patron
age committee of the house reported
against this and consequently not
