SIxTY-FOO1 ROAD TO DEPOT

Agitation for decent highway to
the S. P. & S. depot came to a
head at Tuesday nights council
meeting and it was voted that the
city clerk and attorney prepare
papers at once authorizing the con-
struction of sixty-foot street east
along the south line of Section g. to
the railroad.
1t is anticipated that the city will
have considerable trouble in getting
right-of-way for the highway from
some of the abutting property own
ers, and condemnation proceedings
may have to be resorted to in some
places. But the road as it now
stands is disgrace to the city and
the only way to fix it is to fix it.
In time this highway will be
among the st-traveled in the city
and on this account the council de-
cided that 60 feet was as narrow as
it could be made. At this width
it will very likely gouge into some
OF the front yards along Sercombe
street, to the property owners ire.

whose wives are out of town, be-
coming tired of their own society
and cooking, gathered at the Hotel

slowed away the first square feed
they've had since their hot-weather
widowerhood began. When it was
whispered about that the widowers
were to celebrate, all the single
fellows tried to edge in, too, but
they received frigid reception, the
married ones saying: Nix! This
is none of your funeral-not vet

LITTLE LAD HAS EXCITING RIDE

ORION, the little six-year-old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson, had a
narrow escape from serious injury
yesterday. He was playing on the
delivery wagon at Holmes store,
and climed onto the drivers seat
and lifted the lines. OF course the
horses started. The youngster
screamed, which caused the horses
to quicken their pace. In the mean
time the delivery boy with the
broad Scotch tongue took after the
rig and climed in the back. By
this time the little fellow had fall
len off the seat and dangled head
down in the mud of the street.
To the onlookers it looked as if he
would surely be squashed by the
wheels, but he fell clear and came
out of it with nothing worse than
very dirty face and smeared
clothes.

MUST AGAIN HOLD
SEWER BOND ELECTION
Attorney For Hanchett Company
Raises Objections to Proceedings and
Turns Down Bonds

Because the ordinances adopting
the plans and calling the election
were passed the same night, and
because the ordinance calling the
election did not fully specify as to
the obligation incurred, the attorney
for the Hanchett Bond Co. has
passed unfavorably on the sewer
bonds recently purchased by that
company.
With the letter turning down the
bonds came an offer from the Han
chett Co. that their attorney prepare
a new ordinance to his satisfaction
and forward the same Immediately.
This the council has agreed to, and
the clerk has since received letter
saying he could expect to receive
the new ordinance within a few
days.
Though it is unfortunate that
these technical irregularities should
hold up the work, it will be plain
sailing and quick work from now
on. The new ordinance will be
passed by the council next week
and the date for the election will
be set possibly for about the first
of September. The bond company
say that they will hold open their
offer to buy the bonds at five and
one-half per cent, so that the first
of October should see the contract
let and the project we'll under way.

that there will be a big and jolly

day morning. There will be nc
crowding, however, and the two

WARD LIMITS
ARE Defined
Civ Attorney Prepares Ordin-
d ance Dividing City Into
Three Parts

An ordinance defining the
boundaries Of the first, second and
third wards, into which the city
r;ll soon be divided, was read be-
fore the council Tuesday night but
ras not acted upon. According to
tbe ordinance, the first ward will
comprise all of the city lying east
u Yakima street and between the
river and the southern limits.
Ward two will take in the territory
west Of Yakima street and lying be-
tween the N. P. right-of-way and
the southern limits of the city.
Ward three will include that
norton of the incorporation lying
between the n. P. tracks and the
river. and bounded on the east by
north First street and Washington
street.
After the ordinance had been
read and the council had agreed
that the division made was a fair
apportionment of the city's voting
strength, the question came up as
to the manner of electing each
wards representatives. Council.
man CARRIER held that the two
councilmen from each ward should
be elected by common vote of the
people. He was over-ruled, how
ever, and after some discussion a
vote was taken and motion carried
that each wards representatives be
nominated and elected by the
voters residing within that ward
This provision will be included
ina new ordinance now being pre-.
pared, and which will be acted
upon soon, though the coming re.
vote on the sewer bonds will be con.
Quoted in the same manner as here.

MISS FLEENOR WEEDS
HARRY G. MERRIAM
Popular Young Lady. Formerly of the
N. c. Force in this City. Married
in Walla Walla

Kennewick friends of Miss Ella
Fleenor, formerly stenographer fer
the O.-W. R. & n. at their yard
Offices here, were treated to a SUR
prise with the coming of Thurs
days mail, as announcements were
received apprising them of the fact
that Miss Fleenor is now Mrs. H.
G. Merriam.
The wedding occurred in Walla
Walla, Wednesday, August End.
The matrimonial plans Of the young
couple were unknown to their office
associations in North Yakima where
both have been employed since the
train service opened on the new
road, as the bride went to Walla
Walla about a week ago, supposed
ly for her summer vacation and the
groom left few days later saying
that he was going to Canada.
Mrs. Merriam was secretary of
the Nile Club at the time OF its Or
ganization and was an active worker
in the club. Her dainty individu-
atty and many lovable qualities
made her favorite with old and
young alike and large circle Of
friends in this city and elsewhere
wish her lifelong happiness with
the man of her choice.
The groom was signal service
man for the O.-W. r. & n. and was
located at Benton City until few
months ago, when he was trans
ferred to North Yakima. His en-
ployees and fellow workmen speak
we'll of him and it is understood
that he will now 60 to work on the

were neatly and painlessly put away
with the Pat. Pending, Automatic
Fly Electrocutor." This novel
arrangement was on exhibition in
Kennewick this week, and was given
a try-out to prove the inventors
claims, which were that the machine
could kill two million flies, mos
quitoes, gnats, etc., per diem.
The instrument consists of a
frame strung with wires, thru which
an electric current was passed by
means of a strong battery. There
were two forms, one being like
window screen and to be used as
such, the incoming and outgoing
pests being stiffened into harmless
carcasses upon contact with the
wires. The other was to put. in the
fields to catch the coddling moths,
bugs and beetles and such like. The
attraction was a wee light. 1t
caught nearly every kind of a
bug except the coddling moth
the one that was wanted the worst
when it was given try in the Sly
orchard.
The test was made in the presence
of several prominent orchardists
and the fruit inspector. It seems
that the coddling moths fight little
shy of the light, so the inventors
dream of millions from the orchard
ists was dispelled. The inventor
states that every house should have
it's windows guarded with the thing
umbobs. 1t would indeed be fine
for him-if every window was fixed
up. He figured that an ordinary
house could be rigged up-wired
completely-a small house-for
sos, and think of the fun it would
be to see the flies electrocuted!
The biggest fy-swatting success
which has been introduced locally
seems to be the Elmer trap which
is manufactured in North Yakima
and is on sale at the Kennewick
Hardware Co.. These are COM
paratively inexpensive, retailing at
80 90 and they do certainly gather
the pests in by the gallon. There
are number in use about the bust.
ness places in town and it would
be good investment for every store
and home. A fly in the trap is
worth forty on the baby's nose.

SHUSTER WILL LOSE
HIS PERSIAN JOB
America Not to intervene in Trouble
Between Russia and Persia.


London, Nov. 2s-An official des-
patch from St. Petersburg states that
the American government has notified
Russia that 1t does not intend to inter-
fere in support of W. Morgan Shuster
financial adviser to the Persian gov
eminent.
The present intention of the Russian
government is understood to be that 1t
will demand the dismissal of Mr. Shus-
ter. An indemnity will be demanded in
order to recoup the cost of the sending
of troops to Persia The latter will
lema1n where they are at present as
sembled, unless it should be necessary
for them to advance so as to enforce
Russia's wishes.

demand from Russia for the dis
mssal OF w. Morgan Shuster the
American, who was selected for the
ONCE OF treasurer general of Persia
for some time. Mr.. Shuster's appoint
ment was approved by the Persian
national council on June 13, when he
was entrusted with full power in finan-
of customs and taxes. Soon after his
appointment Russia, Belgium, France
and Italy protested against the pass
Ing of official payments through Mr..
Shuster's hands.
Great Britain Warns Persia.
The dispute as to his position took
an acute turn when he appointed Ma

ana formerly military attache at the
British legation in Teheran to the
command of en- armed gendarme-ie,
formed for the coIlocti~n &c taxes

that If Major Stokes was to be EN-

Russia Again Protests
Further difficulties arose on October
10. when the treasury gendarmes at
the instance of Mr.. Sinister and with
the approval of the national council
seized the property of Skua-es- Sui
taneh, brother Of the shah. Russia
protested on November IA that any
further exercise of authority by Mr..
Shuster would be regarded as. an un-
friendly act on the part of Persia. Mr..
Snuster and the Persian government
both declined to change their attitude
and on November 16 Russia ordered
troops to Persia for the purpose of
occupying the provinces of Ghifan and
Mazanderan. The troops arrived at
the port of Enzelio on November %
and proceeded to Kasbin.

Persia, upon the advice of Great

Russia, whose troops have still re-
manned ut Kasbin.
