WAREHOUSE COMPANY INCORPORATES
Splendid Site Secured East Of City, upon Which Will be Built
Concrete Structure to Cost Ten Thousand Dollars,
to be Erected This Summer

A special meeting of the Com
mercial Club was held last Saturday
evening to hear the report of the
committee which has been quietly
at work for some weeks in obtain
ing warehouse site.
While it had been the intention
OF the committee to secure an option
on the site, to be purchased later by
stock company, they found, last
week, that other parties were active
ly bidding on the same tracts and
it was only by quick action in find
ing cash purchasers that the ground
was secured for warehouse purposes.
E. NJ. Sly and Nathan Thayer Of
the Highlands were the purchasers.
The tracts are described as Lots 5,
6, s and 9 in Hover's Park Villa
Tracts, and consists of little more
than nine acres. It has a splendid
situation for the purpose intended
touching the rights of way of both
the North Coast and Northern Pa
cifc. The purchase was made from
a Spokane man and the price paid
was $3.50 per acre, which is con-
sidered by real estate men to be one
of the best buys of the year.
Articles of incorporation have
been drawn up for the warehouse
company and as soon as these are
signed, the necessary portion Of the
tracts will be leased from Messrs.

TIMES EDITORS INDICTED

A sensation in Northwestern
journalism was sprung by the grand
jury in Seattle last Tuesday when it
returned indictments against Alder

Seattle Times; his son, c. B.
Blethen, managing editor; and c. B.
Rathoun. city editor. The indict-
ments growing out of the recent
crusade against graft in that city
change conspiracy to protect i'm
moral houses and with criminally
libeling one of the city councilmen.

The Year IN the Schools
A Short Review Of the Progress Made
in Kennewick's Educational Matters

The school year which was closed
two weeks ago by the commence
ment exercises of the class of 1911,
has been the most successful ever
known in the history of the city.
Supt. Lewis, who in the fall will
take up his fourth year of work in
Kennewick, expresses himself as
highly gratified with the progress
which has marked the nine months
of study. The various departments
which make up the grades and High
School have never been more sat-
isfactorily handled than by the
corps of teachers who served during
the past term. Despite the handi-
cap of limited space and inadequate
equipment, science and laboratory
work has been carried on with COM
parative success under the able
superintendence of Principal H. E.
Groom.
Athletics have received careful at
tention and the foot ball games which
won success for the High School
team and the long record of straight
basket ball victories testify that
there is class to the athletes of Ken
newick and that their coach is an
able man for his position.
After two years of musical train
ing, the High School Chorus will
compare very favorably with any
High School Glee Club in the state
and the competency of its members
is largely due to the untiring efforts
The Kennewick courier. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1905-1914, 1911-05-26

Sly and Thayer and work of financ-
ing for the building of the ware
house commenced. The company is
planning on putting at least $1O,-
600 into a concrete structure, which
will be built directly east of the
lm-Snively mill, so that an ex-
tention Of the mill spur from the
North Coast will also give that road
access to the warehouse. The N. P.
can easily extend one of their spurs
to the building, and permission will
be asked from the city to put thru
acrossing under the N. P. grade to
connect with road down the east
line of the Moore tracts to the county
road, giving easy access to the
docks.
With the assurance of the rail-
way commission that the city will
soon be erjoying the advantages of
distributive rates, and with a term
minal rating not improbable, there
will be no question of finding ten
ants for the new warehouse. Sew.
eral wholesalers have already made
known their intention of putting
distribution stocks into this city; so,
aside from the assurance that such
a ware house will be a profitable
venture, the promoters of the COM
pany feel that it is up to local cap
ital to see that such wholesalers be
provided with this very necessary
utility.

OF Miss Margaret Wetmore, and the
rigorous daily practice which was
required OF the singers. 1t may be
stated that the pupils who make up
the chorus are not all from the
High School as the choicest voices
are selected from the grades to fill
in their ranks.
For several years our school has
figured prominently upon the de-
batting platform and this year, one
of the most difficult questions ever
given to High School pupils was
successfully mastered by the debat-
ing team who represented the school
in the state interscholastic debate.
The histrionic talent which be-
longs to many of the pupils in the
school has not been allowed to lie
dormant but has had opportunity to
develop in the preparation and sue
cessful presentation of a school en-
tertainment, given at Christmas
time, in which all the grades were
represented and in the high school
play, Charles Aunt staged a
few weeks ago. These entertain
ments have been in the hands OF
Supt. Lewis and Miss Wetmore and

are distinctly creditable to the school

SPOKANE FIRMS

viii Build New Schoolhouse
Howe gets Plumbing

Bids ranging from S42,5OO to
$4,000 we're received by the school
hoard for the erection Of the new
h;eh school building. The sealed
bids ten in number, were opened
BY the board at the Hotel Kenne-
wick last Saturday afternoon and
uroved rather disappointing, in that
the lowest of the figures submitted
made the cost of the structure sew
eral thousand dollars higher than
that estimated by the architect.
After considerable discussion,
Architect Rand made several sug-
gestions for alterations in minor de-
tails with a view to lessening the cost
and the several contracting firms
we're asked for revised bids. A re-
cess was then taken until 7:3O in
tie evening, when the bids were
again taken up for discussion and
the contract finally awarded to j.
B. Sweat & Co. of Spokane for $780,
$50. Their first bid was $43, $40,
the changes in the specifications,
thus affecting saving OF $500 on
the building, which will be of Davy
pressed brick trimmed with terra
Gotta.
The contract for the heating sys-
tenn was awarded to Mcpherson &
Co. Of Portland for 5000. Here.
too, a saving of $4,000 was made
BY abandoning the plans for a ther-
mostat system, the first bid on
which was $500.
ii. A. Howe will do the plumb
ing on the new building for s2125,
bis being the lowest among seven
bids submitted. !.
The bids of Cox & Parker and R.
I. Alloway were both lower than
that OF Sweat & Co., but were not
considered by the board, because
not up to the standard in some of
the Specifications.
AS soon as the money from the
sale Of the bonds is at the disposal
ol the board, excavation will be
commenced and the building pushed
