WILL HOLD. ART EXHIBIT

It is not often that an opportun-
ity is given even in much larger
cities, of viewing an art exhibit as
creditable as one in store for Kenne-
wick. Being across the continent
from the Art centers of America, it
is difficult for many to visit the large
art galleries of the East and the few
located in the Middle States, or the
large libraries and various Govern.
ment buildings with their beautiful
paintings,in the form OF various dec
orations.
With the cooperation of artists
and owners of pictures, the publ
cation was commenced of a perma-
nent and beautiful form of repro
duction known as the Copley Prints
of all the good art that might he
found available in the country. The
first works undertaken were those of
Abbey and Sargent in the Boston
Public Library, then those in the
great Congressional Library in Wash
ington. Since then subjects from
the Metropolitan Museum of New
York, from private galleries and
public collections have been added.
As to the excellence of these
prints, little may be said to those
who know them. All recognize the
difference between a newspaper re-
production and a Century or Serb
ners magazines copy of a photo
graph or illustration-the difference
between cheap print is even more
marked.
The Kennewick Ladies Literary
Club has arranged for this exhibit
to be held in the Commercial Club
rooms, the last of the third week OF
February. There will be $500 worth
of Copley Prints in all sizes and be-
sides, there is promised small col
lection of oils and watercolors of
Washington State artists. 1t is the
intention of the Club to present a
reproduction of some famous work
to the schools of the town. The
sole purpose of the exhibit is to give
the people an opportunity to see
good art. In order to secure this
valuable collection, it is necessary
for the Club to guarantee the sale
of certain number of pictures. 1t
is hoped that many will avail them
selves of the opportunity to secure
really good picture.
There will be small admission
fee to cover expenses.
Further notice of this little art
gallery with all other interesting
features will be given later.

LITERARY CLUB MEETS

The Kennewick Ladies' Literary
Club held their regular meeting at
the home of Miss Church on Friday
afternoon. Plans were discussed for
aiding the Library Association in it's
work. 1t was voted that each
member contribute book or the
value of book. A committee was
appointed to first investigate the
particular needs of the library. The
subject of the program of the after
noon was the Juvenile Court work.
The Juvenile Courts and It's Bene-
fits,' was the subject of a paper by
Mrs. G. A. Hamilton. Mrs. Ham
ilton had secured material and data
from New York, from Judge Lind
say of Denver and from other places
which made the paper especially in
teresting. From Mrs. Neibel's pap
er Pioneers in the work." much
information was gained regarding
this work. Mrs. Sly's paper on the
Relative Potency of Heredity and
Environment in the Development
of the Child" was most excellent
and it is hoped that it may appear
in print that all may have the op-
p)rtunity of reading it.
After a musical selection by Miss
Ida Green, the club adjourned to
meet Jan. y, with Miss Ida Green.

EtlENSBURC TALE
CARRIES LESSON
Dishonest Packing Explanation Of
Poor Returns-Growers are
Shown"

The following story taken from
the E!linsburg Capital, refers to
shipments from. the Ellensbure
district, but its application is gen
eral to every apple district. Such
practices as those referred to, ship
pers say, have been very nearly
stamped out in the principal dis
tricts of Yakima county. The
Capital says:
Considerab Idle criticism has been
heard here of Chicago firm that
bought fruit in the valley during
the past fall, and when our repre-.
sentatives were at the apple and
land show in Chicago they took oc-
casion to call on the firm in ques-
ton and made themselves known.
Our people told them that they had
been severely criticised by some of
our citizens and asked them if they
would explain their position in the
matter. They told their callers
that they were glad of such an OPP
portunity, and invited them into
their warehouse.
There they asked them to select
boxes Of apples from Ellensburg,
which had not been packed by
themselves. This was done and a
number were opened and all were
found to have good outside courses
and inside filters of worthless little
apples, many of them no larger
than gold crab apples. Then the
manager asked our men if he thot
good returns should be expected
from such apples. Our people adj
mitted that the product was a dis
grace to our community and left
deeply impressed with the mistake
that had been made in sending out
as frst-class stock a product that
would not sell for any price at
home. In proof of the statements
here made our men brought some
of these Identical apples home with
them.
This is certainly deplorable
condition, and it cannot long be in
effect without queering us in the
eastern markets. 1t is another
powerful argument in favor of
systematic and uniform packing,
and we can never gain reputation
until some such system is adopted.
We must organize for the common
good and prevent anything that re-
fleets on our intelligence and
honesty as a community"

ENGINEERS ASK
new ROADS Law
Would Have Boundaries of All
Roads Surveyed and
Marked

County engineers of the state OF
Washington will make adetermined
fight to have all the roads of the
country, the exact location of which
is now not known, surveyed, and
the plats and field notes placed on
file with the county commissioners.
This legislation was determined
upon at the time the county en-
gineers held their annual conven-
ton in Walla Walla at the time of
the state good roads convention;
and in accordance with the order of
the association, the legislative COM
mittee has drafted bill, which has
been sent out to all the county en-
gineers of the state for inspection
and approval.
The cause for this action, it is
stated, is to definitely determine
the exact location of roads, and
thus avoid any disputes concerning
them that may arise. For instance.
there are now hundreds of roads
whose exact locations have been
changed, and adjoining which is
property with descriptions on file
referring to these roads.
That a man whose land adioins
a county road, and who has bought
it with description stating that it
runs to thecenter of the county road
would lose if the road were moved
in towards his property. In some
cases he would be protected by plats
and field notes Of the engineers who
laid out the roads, but in many
cases these field notes have been
lost.
The county engineers have from
time to time made these surveys,
and filed their field notes; but they
want to pass an act requiring this
to be done. In this manner COM
plete records would be available
whenever they were needed and the
disputes that have come up in all
parts of Washington would not be
repeated.
AT present" says County En-
gineer George Wrinkle, There are
roads travelled where they are not
laid out, boundaries have been
changed, time has slowly but surely
moved locations, and field notes
have been lost, until it is impossible
to make out the old locations. We
want to be authorized to get this all
done, and so have the records
straight.
1t means a great deal to prop
erty owners in all parts of the state,
and it means complete records that
will no more be misplaced or lost"
The proposed bill, sent out by
Secretary J. M. McCaw of Colfax,
is as follows:
When any county road or high
way has not been properly surveyed
or where, by reason of the loss or
destruction of field notes of the
original survey, or in case of such
numerous changes Of any county
road or highway, or from any other
cause its location cannot be accu=
rately defined or plated, the board
of county commissioners shall order
the county engineer to make a
survey of said road and each sur
vey of said road and such survey
shall be made and marked as in the
case of new roads, and the report,
plat and field notes filed with the
board of county commissioners who
shall adopt the same, and they
shall be accepted as the true and
correct plat and field notes thereof,
and they shall be filed and recorded
as in the case of the original es-
tablishment of the county roads. -
