AMBLER & DENT SELL LAUNDRY

Frank Nixon, of Raymond, this
week purchased the Star Palace
Laundry from Amber & Dent.
The deal was closed the first of the
week through the Office of the Ben
ton Realty Co., and possession will
be given tomorrow night.
Harry Nixon, nephew of the
new proprietor. will have charge of
the plant. Mr.. Dent plans to leave
for Seattle as soon as possible, where
he will again engage in the laundry
business. Mr.. Amber has not de-
cided upon his plans for the future.
Messrs. Amber and Dent have
brought the Star Palace plant up
to a high state of efficiency during
their term Of ownership and have
worked up a splendid patronage.
The Nixons are reputed to be men
of wide experience in the laundry
trade and will doubtless merit and
continue to receive the trade of the
citv as well as from a wide outlying
territory,

of the door locked it-with the key
inside. The transom over the door
was open, however, opening out.
Apparently the easiest way to get
the door open was to climb over the
transom and drop down into the
room,
He succeeded in getting every
thing inside but his head when the
transom dropped, hitting him on
the back of his neck. There he
hung, his feet dangling inside the
room, his head sticking thru the
transom. Fortunately, for Mr..
Koontz, o. w. Rich made his ap-
pearance in the hall about the time
Mr.. Koontz had begun to get black
in the face, otherwise this story
would have had sadder ending.

GOOD SIZED LAND DEAL

One of the seasons largest trans
actions in Kennewick real estate
will be closed today when Frank
Emigh acquires the southwest quar-
ter of Section 8, which lies above
the N. P. I. Canal. The deal
amounts to about S11, 900, and
$500 worth of Mr.. Emigh's city
property changed hands in the
transaction. Frank says he has
lived in this country 19 years and
the longer he stays the better he
likes it and the more he is willing
to invest here. He plans to put
his new tract on the market under
the name of the Holiday High

NO WALKS THIS YEAR

The council beat the weather
man to it. At their special meet
ing last night it was decided to
postpone actual operation on the
building of the cement walks in i'm
provement district No. 1 until after
March 1st.
Outside the calling of the roll of
dogs, and listening for petitions for
the job as sewer engineer, little was
done.
The council will hold a special
session this morning for reading
the sewer bids. About thirty con-
tractors are pacing the corridors in
the hotels waiting the appointed
hour.

seed not marked. Probably the
weed most to be feared in this sec.
ton is dodder. This troublesome
parasite feeds on alfalfa. and where
it once gains a hold and is not er-
adicated, will, in time, choke out
the plant on which it lives.
Miss Allen advised every farmer
to send to the State Dairy and Food
Commission, at Seattle, for the fol-
lowing free bulletins: No. 3O6,
Dodder, y mo, 339, Alfalfa" and
No. 42S, Seed Testing" Also
get good magnifying glass and ex-
anime closely, samples of all seed
before planting. If seed under the
glass appears to be below standard,
the commission will gladly test free
OF charge, any sample sent in.
Miss Allen S talk was followed by
all address by Mr.. Hansen, Feeds
and Feeding" which also was illus
trated by stereopticon views. His
talk ran largely to tables showing
the values of the various feeds,
which are too complicated to be re-
produced here. Mr.. Hansen ad-
vised his audience to write to the
commission for bulletins giving de-
tails OF what they have found to be
the best rations, and which they
will be glad to send to all appli-
cants.
The afternoon session was brought
to close with an address on San
itation in Dairying" by Geo. S.
Henderson, dairy inspector. Many
stereoptican slides were used by the
speaker to drive home the force of
his plea that in dairying cleanliness
and sanitation are the conditions
most to be desired. Besides the
pictures thrown on the screen show
ing model stables and milk houses,
as we'll as that of the opposite type,
many slides were put on showing
the good and bad types of dairy an
imsls. The lateness of the hour
caused Mr.. Henderson to hurry
through his lecture, though the
audience thoroughly enjoyed the
talk and the pictures which accom-
panied it.
Many questions were asked by
those in the audience, of each ]ec-
turer as he finished, which was
good indication of the interest
aroused. The meeting cannot but
help be great benefit to those for
tunate enough to have been there,
and will doubtless work much good
for the dairy industry in this val
ley, not only through the sound ad-
vice given, but also in the enthus-
iasm aroused.

CITY AND PROPERTY
o:,!ai;atRS CAN'T AGREE
DAMAGES for Right of Way for Depot
Road far from Being Settled
May Arbitrate

The special meeting of the city
council aud the property owners
along East Fifth street, in regard
to the acquiring by the city of a
sixty-foot right of-way for the i'm
provement of the road to the S. P.
& S. depot, had but little effect,
outside of hearing the opinions of
the property owners.
The council will likely take the
step of creating an improvement
district of the property affected,
condemning the right -of-way and
letting a jury settle the damages in
each individual case, as they felt
that the prices asked were too high,
and more than the city could afford
at this time.
w. M. Frans took the stand that
if the Improvements were as they
were represented, he felt that the
improvement to his property would
more than offset the damages in
losing the five foot strip from the
front of his lot. Mrs. Shanafelt's
and R. F. Richardson's prices for
their damages met with the appro-
val of the council, and will likely
be settled.
Others, however, who own larger
tracts along the proposed right Of
way, asked that the city pay the
market price of the land taken, or,
if they desired, to leave it to an ar
bitration committee, one of whom
was to be appointed by the city, one
by the property owner. ana the
third by the two selected. These
particular owners wanted to know
definitely, before making settle
ment, just what would be given
them in the way of the street i'm
provement, This demand is GER
tainly just, and will likely make a
difference in the damages asked.
