SERIES OF LECTURES
FOR SCHOOL PATRONS
Talks to be Given by Educational
Authorities and by Local
People

In the life history of any progress
sive city there comes critical times
when it is necessary to renounce the
old ideals and make room for the
new. Such 4 crisis has come to
Kennewick now and without dis
counting the importance on the
many problems which must be faced
by the citizens of the city, it is
recognized that one of greatest ques-
tons, clamoring for immediate set
tlement, is the securing of better
educational facilities. Many who
are not Immediately concerned in
the interests of the schools have but
vague impression that such need
exists and can scarcely be expected
to relaize the needed remedies for
the conditions which the school
board, the Commercial Club, and
Supt. Lewis are coping with.
Recent conferences held by them
have resulted in arrangements being
made for a serious of lectures, the
object of which is threefold: first,
to arouse interest in the schools,
second, to give the community a
better understanding of some prob
lens of the schools, and third, to
further the esta blishment of relations
of helpful cooperation and SYM
pathy between parents, teachers,
,and children.
: The services of some of the lead
.-ig educators of the state have been
secured which will be reinforced by
talks by prominent men and women
of kennewick. The Commercial
Club has agreed to allow the lectures
to be given in the club rooms. The
first lecture is scheduled to occur in
couple of weeks. Don't fail to
attend and don't forget to boost for
better school facilities.
The following is a schedule for
the serious of lectures, all of which
will be given in the evening;

FRUIT & PRODUCE co.
REFLECT MANAGER SLY
Years Business Far Above Expecta-
tiOns-Seeds i'm Carload Lots

The hoard Of trustees of the Ken
newick Fruit & Produce company
which met last Saturday afternoon
elected f. NJ. Sly manager for the
ensuing year, unanimously. The
board Of trustees agreed that it was
thru the efficient management of
Mr.. Sly for the past two years that
the big success of the company was
due, and now that the company
has decided to handle only the
merchandise end of the business,
there is no doubt but that the show
ing at the end of this year will be
even larger than the one just closed
when a fifteen per cent dividend
was paid to the stockholders.
In the annual report of the as
sociation Mr.. Sly showed that with
a paid capital of only s361s. the
total business handled by the COM
pany amounted to $4,000. But
a comparatively small proportion of
this business was made by the fruit
end of the concern.
At present Mr.. Sly in company
with four members of the Yakima
Valley Association are in California
attending the big fruit growers con-
vention. While on the trip Mr..
Sly will 60 to Sacramento and
other points inspecting seeds. He
expects to purchase several carloads
to be shipped upriver for the spring
business.

THE ART EXHIBIT

The art exhibit of Copely Prints,
which the Ladies' Literary Club is
arranging to hold the last of the
third week in February, will, it is
hoped, be largely attended. A let
ter has been received from the chair
man of the art committee of the
State Federation of Woman's Clubs
which States that the exhibit of
Washington State artists will be
shipped from Walla Walla on Feb
ruary 4th, so that this exhibit may
be given at the same time.
The plans are to make Saturday Y
a special day for the school child
rem and the parents are urged to en-
courage their children to attend.
The Clubs only aim is to create in
terest in good art and to show what
our country possesses of it. 1t is
impossible to estimate the benefit
derived from having good pictures
constantly before one. Special ef-
forts ought to be made to place good
copies of the best pictures in homes
churches, schools, etc. Rural teach
ers, as well as those in the city
should avail themselves of this op,
portunity to obtain such for thei-
school rooms. Watch for furth e
announcements.

wick farmers captured the major

DEBATE WITH PROSSER
NEXT FRIDAY EVENING
Third of High School OratOrial Contests
will he Held at the Presbyterian
Church

On Friday evening of next week,
at the Presbyterian church, the high
school team will have the team from
the Prosser High School as their op-
ponents in the third of the inter
scholastic series of debates for the
championship of this district.
In accordance with the rules gov
erning these debates, the local team
has been reduced to two members,
Miss Rosella Hamilton and Geo. F.
Richardson. The ruling stipulates
that in all contests, subsequent to
the first debate, the third member
of the team must be dropped and
that the remaining members shall
debate in the same order and with
the same time as in the first con-
test except that the principal
speeches shall be fifteen minutes in
stead of ten Geo. Williams, the
third member, did we'll in the de-
bate with the Pomeroy tecm and it
is to be regretted that he will not
be enabled to represent the school
again this year in this series of de-
bates.
Miss Hamilton's work in debate,
while representing the Kennewick
High upon the platform, at differ
ent times during the past two years,
has elected a great deal Of avorable
comment from persons competent to
Judge, and her colleague, G. F..
Richardson. has also acquitted him
self creditably and has had consid-
cradle experience as speaker. The
team is a strong one on the whole,
and, with the hearty support and
good wishes of the school and the
community behind them, it is ex-
pected that they will make good
record Friday night.
Prof. Lyman and Prof. Bratton
of Whitman College have both con-
sented to serve as judges. The third
has not been chosen yet.

According to the present out
look the chances of Kennewick and
Pasco to get bridge across the Col
umbia will depend ON whether Rep
resentatives b. b. Horrigan and
Nelson Rich are successful in tack
ing certain amendment on Senate
Bill 81.
This bill provides for the two
trunk roads from Western Wash
ington on to Walla Walla and the
east side generally. The bill as it
stands at present, provides the road
shall go to Kennewick and shall
cross the river at the point consid-
cred most feasible by the highway
commission. Under this state of
affairs H. l.. Bowlby might decide,
if the bill passes, to take the road
to Wallula and cross there
What Horrigan and Rich want
and intend to do, if possible, is to
put through an amendment provid-
ing that the trunk road shall cross
the river at Kennewick. They are
now drawing up an amendment to
this effect and will be ready to spring
it as soon as the senate bill comes
up.
The general road bill is likely to
come up for consideration before
the Horrigan-Rich bill providing
directly for a $25O,OO0 bridge be-
tween Pasco and Kennewick. This
| is still sleeping in the committee on
appropriations and judging from the
general attitude of the committee
on big appropriations it is likely to
stay there for some time yet.
If the road bill should pass, how
ever, with the amendment that the
road should cross at Kennewick, it
should be an easy matter to get the
bridge bill reported out. Even if
the $3.50, 900 should not be appro-
priatcd at this session the trunk
road could not be taken across the
Columbia on the ferry and the high
way commissioner would be forced
to construct span across the river
as soon as the road had been built
as far as Kennewick.
The cities of Kennewick and Pasco
are not the only ones asking bridges
from the legislature. Representa-
tive Elmer E. Halsey of Asotin this
week introduced bill in the house
providing for the appropriation of
$4,000 for the purchase of the
bridge over the Snake river between
Lewiston and Charleston. Idaho is
expected to contribute $4,000 as
the greater portion of the bridge is
on the Lewiston side of the channel

sideration. They were entertained
by the governor, the privilege OF the
floor. an unusual one, was extended
to the officers of the federation while
the state senate was in session and
after the adjournment of the house
the chamber was given over to the
labor men for session with the
labor committees of the house and
senate.
The measures for which the lab
oring men are contending most
strong y are the employer s liability
law, otherwise known as the work
ingmen'S compensation and the in
duStrial insurance, the eight hour
law for working women, a bill pro-
viding for Il plumbing inspector and
one prescribing sanitary convenient
ces in factories in which women are
employed.
The eight hour law for women
nearly got through at last session
and will probably be victorious this

Stanton's Insurance office will
hereafter have branch across the
river. Mr.. Stanton completed the
details for opening the Pasco Office
during the past week, buying out
two OF the fire insurance Agencies
which were established there. The
new Office will handle insurance of
every description and will be in
charge of w. Bramwell. an insur-
ance man Of wide experience.

Amendment TO BRIDGE BILL
State Road must Cross Columbia at Kennewick
to Get Appropriation from Legisla-
ture~-Assessors Make Plea
(By the Courier's Special Olympia Correspondent

and bill to this effect is expected
to receive favorable attention at the
Boise legislature.
The lewiston Charleston bridge is
the property of the Lewiston. Clarks-
ton Improvement company which
constructed it at a cost of about
s11O, 600 and has operated it as d
toll bridge ever since. The last at
tempt to get the states together
purchase the Snake river span
to failed four years ago.
The temper of the legislature in
regard to purchasing bridges, how
ever, is illustrated by the fact that
the joint bridge committee has rec
commended the repeal of the bill
passed at last session, appropriating
$50, 900 for the purchase of the
Wenatchee bridge. The money was
never spent because the bridge COM
mission did not think the span
worth the sum asked.
The present legislature is strong
on economy so far and is apt to
frown on both the Kennewick-P -Pasco
and the Lewiston Charleston schemes.
Pinchotism Raped
The legislature strongly favors
state conservation methods and has
lost no chance to rap the Pinchot-
Roosevelt policy of national conser-
vation. The most significant ex-
ample of this came last week when
with only 25 dissenting votes the
house adopted a memorial address
sed to congress asking the immediate
opening" of Alaska.
The memorial has been recon-
mended by the senate committee
and will undoubtedly pass in the
upper house also.
The legislature has also adopted
another memorial urging congress
to give Alaska territorial form of
government which would give that
land of gold, fish and coal somewhat
more of chance to follow state con-
servation lines. The latest rap at
federal control came in fhe form of
memorial declaring for state in
stead of federal control of fisheries.
Only nine out of 96 votes opposed
this in the lower house.
Labor Hosts at Capital
A strong labor influence has been
exerted upon the legislature this
week and last by the presence OF
the state convention of the union
men and the lobbyists they left be-
hind.
During the progress of the con.
vention in Olympia the labor dele,
gates were given every possible con.

LIBRARY MEETING HAS
LARGE ATTENDANCE
Annual Election of Trustees Follows
Addresses of Interested Patrons
Refreshments Served.

That the maintenance of the city
library by the Kennewick Library
Association is not dead issue, was
proved at the annual meeting held
in the library Friday evening of last
week Over seventy-fve interested
citizens gathered for the purpose of
electiog trusteesfor the year and
discussing the problems which are
to he met if the continued existence
of the library is to be successful.
The meeting was called to order
by the president, Mrs. C. F. Schenk
and the session was opened with an
address by Mrs C. @. Anderson.
In this talk Mrs. Anderson sum
merized the existing conditions,
paid pretty tribute to Mrs. A. B.
Ely who has been such an efficient
and tireless worker in campaigning
the library movement and spoke
feelingly of the great pioneer work
of the outgoing board, and the ap-
probation due them by the people
'of kennewick. One of the main
purposes of the address was to get
an expression of the will of the
members of the association in re-
gard to the policy of maintaining
the library. The speaker closed
with the question Can Kennewick
afford to give up her library?" Too
much cannot be said regarding the
excellence of the talk and the mas
terly way in which every phase of
the library problem was presented.
The librarians report was then
read which showed, among other
things, a membership of 100 and
an average Of 80 visitors daily at
the reading room. There are $50
volumes catalogued, besides the
case of books from the travelling IL
brary
Short talks were given by Rev.
Marriott, Rev. Fraser, Rev. Bartlett,
Attorney M. M. Moulton and Supt.
Lewis and the dominating theme of
each was the pressing necessity of
securing more new books and ways
and means for securing funds for
this purpose. A number advocated
strongly, getting good supply of
juvenile literature and it was advised
that when this was done, the teach
ers should be supplied with lists.
With the aid of these they would be
enabled to influence the pupils to
spend their spare time in the public
reading room instead of on the
streets or in the pool rooms and
they could map out a course of read
ing for them.
The election of the seven trustees
comprising the new governing board
of the Association was as follows:
Mrs. G.. W..Shanafelt, Rev. V. E.
Marriott, Mrs. J. L. Johnson, Mrs.
A. B. Ely, Mrs. c. 0. Anderson,
DR.. Hewetson and A. H. Wheaton.
A joint meeting of the old and
the new board was announced to be
held in the library Saturday after
noon at three O'Clock at which time
the trustees will elect their officers
from their own number.
The informal reception after the
business session was very successful
in that it accomplished all for which
it was planned. Every one talked
library and it was not unlike a
city council meeting in many re-
spects. Mrs. Ely and Mrs. Bart
lett presided at the refreshment
table where a dainty punch service
was arranged. Many thanks are
due the friends of the library who
helped to make the evening an un-
qualified success by contributing
the refreshments.
