farewell PARTY

Sixty friends, most of them num-
bered in the Methodist congrega-
ton, stealthily made their way to
the parsonage, Wednesday evening,
in order to take Rev. and Mrs.
B. F. Brown entirely by surprise.
The scheme proved successful as the
minister and his wife had received
no hint of the coming Of the guests
until they were at the door. An Of
ficlal board meeting was to have
been held at the house but this was
turned into farewell reception for
the host and hostess, and Mrs.
Margaret Kelley and was also a
congratulation party for MIR. and
Mrs. w. A. Kennett who were mar
ried last week. The crowd made
merry with games and music until
a late hour. Entertaining readings
were rendered by Mrs. E. 0. Brown
and Mrs. Saltgaver, and Rev. and
Mrs. Brown were presented with
silver teapot as a parting gift from
the congregation and pretty china
plates were given to the other
guests of honor. The guests brot
their own refreshments and no
spread was ever appreciated more
than that midnight lunch. The
best wishes of the community go
with DR.. Kelley and his mother and
Rev. and Mrs. Brown to theirx..,w
homes.

New I High School, Finished,
is Credit to City and to Builders

ennewick has the best high
school building in Washington east
of the Cascades, outside Of the city
of Spokane. - This is the unani-
nous verdict of many well-informed
visitors who have been in the city
during the past few weeks and have
viewed the magnificent structure
which stands now practically COM
plete, located on Block l of the
Oln,sted Addition. While the total
cost has not been summed up, in
cluding the sub-contracts, it is stated
that it will be within the first esti-
mate between $50. 900 and $50, 900,
the figures given by the architect
l.. l.. Rand, of Spokane, when the
preliminary sketches were first
drawn up last spring. Wednesday
afternoon Contractor Sweat re-
ported that the work on the build
ing was completed, with the excep-
tion of painting on the interior, and
another two weeks will see all the
little cdd jobs about the building
finished and the grounds in order.
A force of from twenty to fifty men
have combined their energy and
skill with the motive power afforded
by Contractor Sweat's capable sup
erinten'ence since early July in the
production of this finished example
of modern architecture, the most
praise~orthy feature of which is its
practicability for educational utility
Not only is the building finished on
schedule time, but what is of more
importance from the standpoint OF
its future usefulness to the commun-
ity, none but the best of material
has been used in its construction.

The new high school stands pre-
eminent as kennewick' most beau
tiful building and is practically
three stories in height, as the floor
Of the basement is only three feet
below the ground level when the
grading is completed. On every
floor the corridors are wide, with
arched alcoves ranging along the
sides. The building has thirty
rooms.
With three main entrances on the
north, east and west, loss of life by
fire is rendered nearly impossible
and these portals to the halls of
learning are we'll crea,
tions of mason's skill, adding great
ly to the appearance OF the exterior.
The building is of Doric archi-
lecture or romanesque, modern
ly known as colonial, and, as in the
case of most public buildings con-
structed in recent years, the pre-
vailing styles of several of the past
ages have been combined into one,
making the effect of the whole most
pleasing. The pressed brick with
trimmings of glazed terracotta
makes an attractive combination.
On each floor a main hall runs
from east to west with corridors
leading off to the north and south.
Sanitary drinking fountains are
placed conveniently throughout the
length of these. One good feature
is the arrangements made for hang
ing wraps, the architects specifca-
tions combining beauty and utility
in using arched alcoves forth pur-
pose.
On the first floor is the heating

the game was poor, the forward
passes and punts could not be con-
trolled, and the old style play of
smashing the line was all that could
be done. On this stvle the local
boys held their own, the ball being
in their opponents territory most
of the time.
The last game of the season will
be played with Toppenish there on
Thanksgiving Day. With Boone
back in the game, the boys hope to
make the score run up some in their
favor.

trouble as can be. When from
the egg he first doth hatch,
forthwith he needs must too the
scratch, and scratch with both
his baby feet all day to find
enough to eat. Of course his
mother scratches some to fill his
hungry little tum. but when the
family is many she often can't
provide him any. And when he
grows a bigger bird he's singled
out from midst the herd. provid-
ed he bids fair to be a whopper
oobbler. same as me. From that
time on he gets his chuck free

Farmer Jones that makes mo sick.

and oats and have . pen, tho
same as shotes, have a fear
that turns mo pale and makes

overeating makes me dream Of
things more awful than they
seem. In nightmare dreams

And thus the gobbIer gobbIed on

came with purpose which We

Thanks to the good hard work

appreciation for their efforts, the
committee has presented Miss Howe

Commission Men Hold the Leftover
Goods for Higher Prices.


Kansas City, June 2.-rhe commis-
sion merchauts-members of the KAN
sas city Fruit and Produce Exchange
do have something to DO with fix
ing the prices on foodstulls in Kan
sas City after all according to the
testimony Of d. A. Trlmblc, a com
mission merchant and members Of
the exchange, in the hearing before
Judge A. r. Evans, special commits
sioner, this morning. The surplus
products that any Of the commission
merchants may have on hand are
offered for sale at the meeting Of the
exchange at II o'clock each day The
members Of the exchange bid for
those products md those bids are the
basis on which a committee fixes the
market quotations for the day he
said.
II there are no bids the market
stands the same as 1t was the day be
fore.
Mr., Trimble testified that when
this market became oyerstocked with
butter, eggs, poultry or other food
products the surplus either was
placed in a storage house to hold for
better market conditions or shipped
TO an Eastern market. The commits
sion men never offer the foods to the
grocers at price below the fixed
market quotation. The consumer is
the victim all the way 'round--he
pays high prices when there is sur
plus and higher prices when there
isn't.
Still there Is no agreement or COM
blne to do these things. Mr.. Trimble
and the other commission men say.
It's just tho modern way of doing
business and the natural results of
modern methods, some of them say.
