SEWER BONDS CARRY
MAJORITY, 10 TO |
One. Fourth Vote and Practically Ma
Opposition at Tuesdays
Election

The election last Tuesday for the
purpose of voting the $4,000 issue
OF sewer bonds and adopting Engi-
neer Hanford's plans brought out a
very light vote and resulted in a
majority for the bond issue of 1876
to 13. The clause for the adoption
OF the plans carried by 1877 to IA.
The small vote cast, about a quar-
ter of the registration, was due in
part to the disagreeable weather and
partly to the fact that the result
was a foregone conclusion. The
ratio of the vote showed even less
opposition than at the previous elec-
ton in March, when the bonds
were first authorized by vote of 1SO
to A.
Negotiations with The Hanchett
Bond Co., purchasers of the issue,
will now be carried speedily to a
conclusion and in the meantime a
contract for the work is being pre-
pared and bids will be advertised
for within the next two weeks.
While all these details take valuable
time, it is hoped that actual work
may be started about October 18th.

LAST CHANCE TO EN-
GAGE BAND DIRECTOR
If Offer Is Not Taken This Week Ellens
burg or MissOula May Secure
Prof. kimbalf

Prof. c. 0. Kimball, who has
offered his services to the city as
musical director, was in Kennewick
again Wednesday, conferring with
the officers of the Commercial Club
and other citizens. Since his pre-
vious visit, Mr.. Kimball has re-
ceived fattering offers from the
commercial bodies of ,Ellensburg
and Missoula, and must have
definite answer from the local club
this week.
As heretofore stated, Prof. Kim
ball is resigning his position at the
head of musical affairs at the Uni
versity of Washington, which he
has held for the past seven years,
on account of the health of one of
his sons, who cannot live in the
Coast climate. For the past few
months his family has been at
Grandview, where the climate has
been so beneficial that Prof. Kim
ball is very desirous of making this
valley his permanent home.
He offers his services to this city
for S125 per month. which must
be guaranteed for one year. Four
fifths of this amount has already
been subscribed in various ways.
Those most interested laid the
matter before the council at last
nights meeting in the hope that
the city fathers might find a way
in which the balance could be paid
monthly from the city treasury.
This paper went to press at too
early an hour to learn what was
done, but as the mayor and the
councilmen have stated, individu-
ally, that they were wholly in favor
of the proposition, it is likely that
the necessary aid was given.
It is seldom that city of this
size has the opportunity of secur-
ing, at so reasonable a salary, 80
competent a man for the head of
it's unusual activities, and it would
be regretable should the chance be
wasted. We think there are too
many aware of this fact to let this
opportunity pass by, and we pre-
dict that within the next few
months Kennewick will be the home
of finely equipped and disciplined
band that will be a pride and an
advertising feature of great value.

The worthy Seniors held class
meeting last Friday evening and the
Following officers were chosen fol
the ensuing year: President, Ralph
Boone; Vice-President, Earl Larkin; F.;
Secretary, Ethel Kimball; and Treas
urer, May Holloway.
Ellis Dorthy was elected Presiden,
of the Junior class at their meeting
Tuesday morning; Mary Wood, Vice
President; Louis Annis, Secretary
Lyle Johnson, Treasurer.
At their meeting Tuesday evening,
the Sophomores elected Lura Shana-
felt, President; Martin CARRIER, Vice
President; Tom Swasy, Secretary;
and Wilmot Gravenslund, Treasurer.
Friday evening, at the Freshmen
class meet g, William Schuster was
elected President; Rose Bernath,
Vice-President, and Bernard Slaugen-
haupt, Secretary and Treasurer.
Milburn Bownby, of the third grade,
has moved to Seattle. Terence Ter
hume has been enrolled in the same
grade.
Word has been received from
County Superintendent, Miss Jones,
that no institute will be held until,
probably, about the middle or last OF
October.
The question for the tsate series of
inter-scholastic debates for the year
is Resolved: That the conservation
of our natural resources should be a
function of the state rather than the
national government" Only two
have volunteered as yet, but expect
more before long. Material on the
question will be found in the school
library.
Two more students in the high
school Thursday-and more are COM
ing in. The Assembly Hall is crowd
ed; more desks are required, and
some of the pupils occupy Mr..
Groom's labratory. The total num-
Der of students in the high school this
fall is eighty, whereas only eighty-one
attended during the whole term, last
year. The Freshman class shows
quite an increase, for twenty-five re-
ceived Eighth Grade Diplomas, while
thirty-seven are enrolled in the ninth
grade. So it is we'll that those who
worked so hard for a new building
this spring won out, for we need
more room.
All but four of last years graduating
class go to higher institutions of learn
ing this year. Ruby Slaugenhaupt,
Luella Grassland and George Rich
ardson go to Washington State COL
lege at Pullman; Rosella and Margaret
Hamilton go to Whitman, and Ina
Wright to the University. This is a
better showing than most graduating
classes make.

of the opening season should be
largely attended and prove very
enjoyable.

MANAGER DEAN OUT
AFTER DAIRY STOCK
al, Success in Getting Good West
ern Cows-May Go East for
Cattle

Fay F. Dean, manager OF the
4be Columbia Creamery Co., and
George E. Finley have been in
restern Oregon the past week look
;np for desirable dairy COWS to bring
~ this valley. A telegram received
f,om Mr.. Dean Wednesday would
indicate that their efforts so far
have been without much success,
and that to find good stock at reas-
enable prices, they will have to
make a tour of the middle western
states. The great increase in dairy
ing in the Northwest makes really
desiiable COWS hard to find and
high in price. Dairymen are re-
alizing more and more that the
GOOD COW is the only one worth hav-
ipg and as a consequence are weed
ing the "boarders'' out of their
herds. There are plenty of these
second. class animals to be picked
up, but Messrs. Dean and Finley
are determined that none of this
Kind will be imported into the Ken
newick Valley if they have anything
to do with it.
The painters and plasterers have
finished at the creamery this week
and the building is now ready for
the installation of machinery, part
Of car of which has arrived from
Seattle.
