A BOUQUET

Among all the small town pa
pers which have come under my
notice for many years, the Courier
Of Kennewick. Wash. stands out
prominently the best as a dem
onstration of newspaper printing.
Not at all because 1 borned the
thing, for it was then very crude,
altho better than the volume of
business it had on the books.
But east or west, I cannot think
now Of a paper carrying such ar
tistic ads, or such general artis-
tic design as the Courier of 1911.
Next to the Courier, the Ex-
positor OF Brooklyn, and the
Herald Of Quincy, both small
Michigan towns, come nearest to
my ideals.-By z. P. Green,
founder of the Courier and now
publisher of the Lookout, at
Homer, Mich.

CHORAL UNION NEEDS
MORE MALE VOICES
Increased Interest ShonId Be Shown
by Men Sinsers-Oficers
Elected

The attendance at the kenne-
wick Choral Society's rehearsal,
Wednesday evening, increased to
more encouraging proportions and
there was a larger representation of
tenor and bass singers than at any
previous meeting though those Sec
tions will have to be still further
strengthened to make the chorus
evenly balanced. Prof. Kimball is
now feeling in better spirits than
ever over the prospects ard is
delighted with the bargains in music
which have been obtained. Tt is
not likely to average more than five
cents copy and although the ed
ition was the cheapest obtainable
the selections are taken from some
Of the famous operas and can be de-
veloped by the local singers into
choruses of real excellence. "The
Storm Fiend," 'The Bridal Cho-
rus" and THE Waltz Song" are
some of the popular numbers prac-
ticed. Music was given to those
who had paid their dues.
1t has been thought best to re-
duce the yearly dues from 800,
the sum first agreed upon, to $500
and as originally planned the High
School students will be admitted to
membership without any charge
aside from the cost of their music.
Alter the rehearsal short busi-
ness session was held at which Geo.
F. Richardson officiated as chair
man. Officers for the six months
term were elected as follows: Geo.
F. Richardson, president; Mrs. G..
E. Hanson, vice-president; Mrs.
ii. J. Claussen, second vice-presi-
dent: E. w. Trenbath, secretary
and treasurer. Miss Margaret
Wetmore, Richard Mounsey and
DR.. }. w. Hewetson were elected
to serve as an executive committee
and will transact all business of
the society not disposed of by the
members at their regular sessions.
The next meeting of the society
will be held Monday night at 7:3O.

The new line as described in the

CROWD ENJOYS FIRST
SMOKER OF SEASON
Four Lively Boxing Bouts and Concert
by Band Make the Affair
Success

The smoker put on by the ath-
letic committee at the Commercial
Hall last Friday night delighted a
big crowd, perhaps the largest
gathering of club members which
has been brought together within
the past year.
Commencing at eight o'clock, the
Commercial Club band in short
concert gave the crowd some idea of
what it is accomplishing under the
efficient leadership of Prof. Kim
ball. Each number was enthusi-
astically applauded and it seems to
be the general opinion that if the
boys make half as much improve
ment in the next four weeks as they
have in the past month, they are
going to stand an excellent chance
OF bringing home some of that
money from the Apple Show.
All the boxing bouts were lively
enough to keep the interest of the
ringsiders up to the top notch.
Those who donned the mitts were
Mooney and Oliver, Copeland and
Myers, Carnahan and CARRIER, and
Kolb and Larkin. None of the con-
testants were much damaged and
all the bouts were declared draws.
Honest Guy Hayden, the popular
referee, officiated in his usual able
manner, and Roy Dent, the city
wash-lady, made a hit as announ-
Ger.
A collection was taken to be ap-
piled on the purchase of a wrestling
mat and other paraphanalia. The
committee has announced that
wrestling will be the principal at
traction at the next smoker which
will be put on about three weeks
hence

DANCE DATES

The entertainment committee of

ced the following dates upon which
dances will be held during the com
ing months:
Nov. II, Nov. 80, Dec. IA, Dec.

The next dance, on the II of
November, will mark the wind-up
of the voting contest which will de-
eide what young lady is to represent
Kennewick at the Apple Show, Nov.

of the subsequent ones, the music
will be furnished by the entire Com
mercial Club Band, instead of the
orchestra, and the dancing will be
prefaced by an enjoyable program
of concert numbers. The proceeds
from the dances, aside from a small
amount which goes into the piano
fund, is being used for the purchase
of new instruments and other equip
ment for the band.

CITY WILL CONSIDER
3O-YEAR FRANCHISE
City Council and ManaSer Andrus
Meet in Closed Session and Thresh
Out Differences

The Pacific Power & Light COM
pany and the city council are in a
fair way to arrive at some sort of an
agreement toward extending the
time Of the company's franchise.
Following the shelving of the so
year franchise ordinance, the city
fathers held closed meeting last
week to further discuss the PROPOSE
ton with Manager Andrus.
Even the newspaper men were
barred from the meeting, but from
what we can gather, it seems that
the differences were pretty well
smoothered over and that the city
officials have agreed to consider a
3O-year franchise.
1t is understood that Manager
Andrus has notified the Portland
Office as to the councils stand, but
at this time they have not signified
whether or not they will apply TO,
the 11-year extension. If a new
franchise is given it will have to
contain a provision that this city be
given the same rates that are en-.
ioyed by North Yakima, Walls
Walla and other cities served by
the company.

PAsco WON'T BUY WA1ERWORks

At Wednesdays election the vot-
ers of Pasco decided against the
proposed bond issue for the pur-
chase from the Pacific Power &
Light Co., of the municipal water
works plant. There were 265 votes
cast in favor of the bonds and 259
against. Only 21O, or 60 per cent
of the total, were needed to defeat
the issue. It is said that the Pasco
Reclamation Co., will now purchase
the water plant from the Pacific
company.
