One of the most pleasant of the
holiday social functions in which the
younger folk of the city participated,
was the reception to the new year
given by Misses Leah Rich and May
Holloway at the home of Miss Rich,
Saturday evening. A large number
were present to enjoy the gayeties of
the occasion and at no time during
the evening did the fun lag, Miss
James performing as chaperone.
Young literary lights were brought
out by composing poetry in a New
Years resolution rhyming contest.
A dish of dates was won by Miss
Edna Cresswell and Glenn Mitchell
for associating dates and events in
history. When the striking of the
clock heralded the coming of the
New Year each guest grabbed par
eel from a basket which proved to
be some article designed for the pro-
duction of noise. Armed with these
the young people made tour of the
neighborhood giving a midnight sere-
made.
Supt. NJ. S. Lewis has received
communications from the state author
tiles in charge of the State series of
interscholastic debates, stating that
Prosser will be Kennewick's next
adversary upon the platform. The
High School and townspeople are re-
joicing over the fact that the local
team still retains the the negative side
of the question under consideration
and that the young contestants will
have the loyal support of home au-
dience in their home town, on Feb.
3rd, the date of the next debate.

MAY NOT UNDERTAKE
CAMPAIGN AGAINST RATS
District Health Department Fears
Sum of $500 Appropriated Will
Not Be Sufficient.

The District health department may
never undertake war on rats in the
District. notwithstanding Congress in
cluded $500 for that purpose in the last
appropriations act. The amount may be
permitted to revert to the government,
because officials of the department be-
leve it is not sufficient with which to
conduct a practical campaign against the
rodents.
II would favor the appropriation re-
verting rather than it should be expended
with little prospect of accomplishing any
results worth while. said Health Officer
Woodward today. II can't say now what
decision will be reached. 1t is probable
that a part of the appropriation will be
spent i'm al educational campaign. bat
even this is uncertain. as the department
will not attempt to definitely solve the
problem for some time"
Health officer Woodward has been in
touch with San Francisco officials with
respect to effective means of combating
the rat problem At first these officials
mtinated that $50 would be enough for
the work, but when they were Informed
that only that amount was to be eX-
pended during the entire year. and not
by, the month"; they advised the repre-
sentatives,of the local health department
that they might as well give up the
undertaking.. More than 500 monthly /;
spent in San Francisco for the e.N
termination of the rat tribe. according to

BICYCLES CARRY DOUBLE,
THEIR OWNERS PAY FINES
Judge Mullowny Declares Purpose
of Enforcing Regulations Against
Dual Riding.

Fines of 81 and So. respectively, were
imposed upon George Black and Jacob
Bias. local bicyclists. by Judge Null
lowry in the Police Court this morning
for violating the recent police regula-
ton placing a ban on dual riding OF
BICYCLES and motor cycles. They are the
first cases to be filed in the Police
Court under the regulation. Policema n
Mansfield arrested Black at 9th and T
streets Saturday night, and Policeman
Sontag arrested Bias on 18th street
Saturday afternoon. Both men. accord
ing to the policemen. were carrying
boys on their handle bars.
Black pleaded with Judge Mullowny to
release him upon his personal recog-
nizance, saying he needed the two dol
lars he had deposited for his appearance
and pleading ignorance of the regulation.
He promised not to repeat the offense.
This regulation must be enforced for
the safety of the persons who are fool
ish enough to ride double" Judge Null
lowry replied. I'm going to punish
every one brought before me for that
offense.
The charges against the two young
men who allowed themselves to be ar
rested in front of the Police Court build
ing Saturday afternoon, in consequence
of a determination by local motor cycle
association to test the regulation, will
not be filed I'm the Police Court until
tomorrow morning. Date for trial will
be determined following . conference OF
counsel.
