DATE.
SETF0R JULY IS
Two Steamers to be Chartered by
Commercial Club to Take
Crowd Up River

At a meeting of the publicity
committee of the Commercial Club
on Wednesday evening, further ar
rangements were made for an excur-
sion to the up-river towns. The
club as whole is unanimously in
favor of the enterprise and a CAM
paign is being carried on this week
for the purpose of obtaining 800
excursionists.
Thursday, July 18th, is the date
set and it is probable that both the
Mountain Gem and the Inland En-
pire will be chartered for the trip.
Round.trip tickets will cost only
81 SO and this small sum may be
raked up easily by every live one in
the city who is looking for a good
time. Not only the men are privi-
legged to 60 up the river and boost
for Kennewick, but all the women
and children are included in the in
vitation, and the more the merrier.
One of the best features planned
is the basket luncheon to be fur
nished by the ladies. It is possible
that the plans for luncheon may
include an invitation to the people
of Hanford and White Bluffs, ask
ing them to come aboard and eat,
thus saving them the trouble and
expense of entertaining so many
visitors.
In planning the excursion, some
of the more poetic of the publicity
committee studied the calendar and
made some calculations, so that the
event will come off during that part
of the month when there is plenty
Of moonlight. The band will he
there, and if two boats are secured,
the Richland band will be engaged,
so there will be music on each boat.
Dancing on deck is one of the at
tractive features of the entertain
ment program and tables will be
arranged for cards.
Stops will be made at Richland,
Hanford and White Bluffs, and in
vitations are to be extended to the
business men of Richland to join
with this city in making the excur-
sion a success.
An effort will be made to interest
the residents of the country and
the suburbs as they are as vitality
interested in boosting Kennewick
as any of the downtown business
men. Rev. H. M. Bartlett has
been detailed to make a thorough
canvass of the Highlands and w.
R. Weisel will make social call on
every resident of Sec. 7 within the
next ten days and will endeavor to
persuade them that the crowd will
not be complete without their pres
ence.
The purpose of the excursion is
to get on terms of intimacy with
our sister towns, get acquainted
with their business men, establish
friendly relations both from a social
and business standpoint, and en-
list their assistance, one and all, in
boosting the Co lumbia river valley.

NlKE KENNEW|CK
sPO1LESS TOWN
r., and Hoboes Must Go, Say
the Health and Police
Departments

With the health board hot on the
,..i Of the fly and microbe, the
n0lice department giving the hoboes
,he hike and Bob Johnson lambast-
n. sin in general, it would seem to
bsa question of a short time only
pntl Kennewick approaches very
close up to the ideal spotless Town
Of advertising verse.
At Tuesday nights meeting of
tbe Council, Health Officer Kelley
and Deputy Calhoun reported that
sanitary conditions in the city were
greatly improved the result of the
mast months vigorous cleanup
campaign, and that the work will
he continued until the corporation
can be given strictly A 1 bill of
health.
This initial work is being done at
the city's expense, but as soon as
the health officers report shows the
town to be in first class sanitary
condition, all further work in main
aining cleanliness will be charge
able to the property owners.
On recommendation of the health
board, the city attorney is now at
work drafting an ordinance provid-
ing strict regulations for disposal of
refuse and garbage. The new
measure will also provide for regu-
lar inspection Of the city's meat,
vegetable and milk supply.
The lack of a suitable ground for
garbage dump is a problem which
has been bothering the health board.
G. N. Calhoun reports that he is
now negotiating for the purchase of
a plot Of ground, a short distance
outside the city limits, which he
expects to use for garbage purposes
and there is also some talk by the
council Of the purchase of Current
Island for like use. At any rate,
the promiscuous dumping Of refuse
along the river bank east of town
has been stopped, notices to that
effect having been posted by the
health board this week.
Move on" notices have also been
posted throughout the jnngles by
the bridge reminding Weary Willie,
Dusty Rhodes, ct al, that absence
makes the heart grow fonder, or
words to that effect. Since the annex
alton Of the river front territory has
made its policing possible, the last
refuge OF the hoboes, who have
Oeen pest to residents in that part
OF the city, will be cleaned out.

The NeW-Tax Remedy.

1t is given out in the news that the
District Commissioners will hold
public hearing III few days to
afford an opportunity for discussing the
plan for the elimination Of alley slums
which proposes the enactment of lesisla-
ton by Congress giving authority to the
District Commissioners 10 open up minor
streets and making provision for the pay
ment OF accruing expenses by the lmpo-
sition of a small special tax solely upon
real estate IN the District u new tax out
side of and not in accordance with the
terms of tn. organic act.
The Washington slum problem has re-
ceived much intelligent consideration from
humane and publicspirited citizens of the
in a legislative way III 1874. y board Of
health for the District Of Columbia was
created by Congress i'll February, 1871.
aud in the following year the board was
empowered to condemn any dwelling
house OF building wherein people live,
consrega,e or assemble which is de-
tcient in ventilation, drainage or other
provisions essential to health Condem-
nation Of insanitary buildings proceeded
with vigor. the number of condemna-
1877; and 10: in 1871. The board of health
was abolished in 1878 and the Office of
health officer substituted. This change
Was not important III its effect Oh the
condemnation OF inSInitar$ houses. but
in 1851 when the older health ordinances
we're revised. the section undcr which the
board OF health had found its authority
10 condemn insanitury buildings was
omitted.
In 1sJ, Congress enacted a law prollib-
Ting the erection Of dwellings in alleys
less than thirty feet wide and not sup
piled with sewerage, water mains and
light. In 1894 the Washington Civic Cen
ter was formed ard its committee on
housing entered upon an extensive in
uuiry whicn resulted In accommodating
that alleys containing sufficient number
of Indications should be converted into
minor streets and place.. that blind al
leys not capable of being opened up
should be condemned as unfit for habita-
ton and that nsanitary dwellings should
be condemned. About this time the Dis
trict Commissioners appointed the Cen

The Capitals Trees.

Washinstons fresh spring foliage is
apt 10 cuthuse one with its beauty and
to prompt the thought that there shall!
Dc no neglect OF the street and park trees
this summer. Washington street trees
have not suffered because of any in
difference on tn. part of the public officers
charged with their care, but. because of
lack of money. 1t was brought out in
the last report of the operations of the
engineer department of the District that.
generally speaking. the amount appro-
priatcd for the care of trees and park
ing has been insufficient. AMI that "while
the growth of the District has been con-
tinuouS and the extension of tree service
has had TO keep up with this growth. the
sum appropriated for the planting and
maintenance of trees has practically re-
NAMED at the same figure for many
years.
The work Of street tree planting, re-
movai and care grows heavier as the city
expands. During the last fiscal year the
number of street trees set ont was 1870
4 number exceeding any years planting
since 1885. The number of trees removed
was 2.15l. the net increase being 1,S79,
the trees planted being mostly Norway
and sycamores. The number Of municipal
trees-that is, trees on streets, parking
and in school grounds-at the close of the
fiscal year was 1891, and for the pres
On fiscal year the number will likely pass
the hundred thousand mark. The cost of
planting and caring for the municipal
trees last year was s41,674.GG.
Street and park foliage suffered great
ly last summer, more especially in the
older sections of the city. from the elm
leaf beetle. the white-marked tussock
moth and the fall web-wornl. The blast
torch was used against the eggs and CO.
coons. and hundreds of trees were drench
ed with streams of water from fire by
drants that washed the insects from the
branches. This season a chemical spray
ing apparatus is TO be used. Washington
and the country are proud Of the capital S
trees, and no effort should be spared to
protect them and to increase their num-
Der and their beauty.
