READY FOR JACK FROST

John Storland reports that peaches
at Grandview, Prosser and other
points up the valley have been con-
siderably damaged by the recent
cold wave but says that so far this
section has escaped. Mob Hill was
the only part of the Yakima orchard
section to escape injury.
The Kennewick smudge pot fac
tory has opened up and is rushing
operations in order to meet the de-
mands of the early spring season of
orchard heating. E. NJ. Sly says
that 10000 pots will be manufac-
tured and that many large orders
from outside points are already
placed with his company.

HORSE HEAVEN WHEAT
SHOWS WELL IN TEST

VIM. Helm returned the latter
part of last week, after spending
three days at the Washington State
College at Pullman where various
tests and experiments were being
carried on with the flour made from
the Horse Heaven wheat. In every
stage, from the wheat grains on the
stalk to the golden brown loaves,
perfectly baked and admirable speci-
mems of scientific domestic economy,
the Horse Heaven product measures
up to high standard. In this fact
lies the secret of the success of the
vast acres of wheat land which are
tributary to Kennewick. Mr..
Helm left yesterday for North Yak
ina and coast points.

A HOLD-uP

Harry Stone, one of the dodgers
at the Artisan Hotel, after spend
ing some five or six days in this
city, was robbed of s34.OO and his
overcoat last Thursday evening
when returning from Pasco. At
this end of the N. P. bridge two
men stepped out of the darkness
and held him up. After rifling his
pockets and relieving him of his
overcoat, they accompanied him
down the track to the S. P. & S.
depot, gave him a dollar and his
coat and told him to get" He

reached one of the residences in
the suburbs phoned to the city
police. Charlie Holmes. deputy
marshal, crossed the bridge hum
dred feet in advance of Stone but
the hold up men were evidently
acquainted with him and allowed
him to pass, unmolested. NJ trace
has been found of the ROBBERS.

MAY STRIKE ARTESIAN WATER

Recently Thos. McKain assisted
in testing out the 418 foot well on
the ranch of Averil Beavers on the
Highlands and finds there is at
present 225 feet of water. This
amount will be insufficient to water
the 100 acres which make up Mr..
Beavers holdings and he has made
preparations to 60 500 feet deeper.
He expects to get artesian water by
going far enough down and secure
a constant and unlimited supply for
domestic use and irrigation. The
pumping plant is complete and in
perfect working order. The Beavers
ranch will eventually be one of the
banner places of the valley as no
expense has been spared in its de-
velopment and the buildings on it
are those of the highest standard OF
up-to- date farm homes.

new SCHOOL FORMALLY OPENED

Last night a large number of
school patrons responded to the in
vitation of the board and enjoyed a
very pleasant evening at the formal
opening and house-warming of the
new high school building.
The program of speaking was in
terspersed with selections by the
commercial club band, songs by tho
high school chorus and several reci-
tations by members of the student
body. Short talks were made by
Messrs. Annis, Gardner, D e g.
oranges, Fraser, Richardson, and
Lewis. Mrs. Sly and Mrs. Soth, on
behalf of the womens' clubs spoke.
A more extended notice is neces-
sarily deferred until next week.

dition of the barcarolle, Lovely
Night, Oh Tender Night" from
Tales of Hoffman," could have
been improved upon but little by a
trained opera chorus. Veasie's
Storm Fiend" was highly dram
attic number and was powerfully
presented by a full chorus.
Raff's beautiful composition for
the violin, "Cavatina. twas exceed
ing we'll rendered by Miss Burlin-
game, who responded to her audi
ence's appreciation by playing as an
encore the ever-popular "Trau-
merei."
Sullivan's Lost Chord" was well
received and the final number,
The Bridal Chorus from "The Rose
Maiden,'' was sung with brilliance
and, as in the case of nearly every
number on the program, the sing
ers were recalled by long continued
applause of their audience.
The orchestra did splendid work
and the accompaniments of Miss
Margaret Wetmore, pianist, were
distinctly creditable to her as a mu-
sician Of high ability.
Too much cannot be said Of the
genius of Prof. Kimball for he has
thrown his whole interest into this
work. With untiring effort and
patience he has gathered his linn
tied material together and has de-
monstrated in a striking manner
what may be accomplished with in
telligent training, from even the
most meagre of beginnings.
As a token of appreciation which
the members of the society feel for
their leaders, work, a handsome
boquet of carnations was presented
to him during the intermission.
Financially, the society will fare
very we'll from their first venture.
Though all accounts had not been
closed at this writing, it is estima-
ted that the net proceeds will be
more than $3.50.

CHORAL CONCERT DELIGHTS HEARERS
Excellent Work of Singing Society," in Initial
Appearance, Revelation to
Large Audience

After three months practice, the
fifty members of the Kennewick
Choral Society, under the leader
ship of their efficient conductor,
Prof. c. o. Kimball, and assisted
by Mrs. G. E. Hanson, soprano,
Miss Ethel Burlingame, violin, and
the Commercial Club orchestra,
presented concert Wednesday eve
ming, which was truly meritorious
in consideration of the fact that the
majority of the voices were un-
trained when the society was organ
lied. This was the first public ap-
pearance of the society and, with
the city;s characteristic loyalty to
home talent, the Commercial Hall
was jammed to it's utmost capacity
when the singers filed in and took
their places upon the platform at
$3.50.
After brilliant overture, THE
Castle Gate," by Schlepegrell, the
program opened with the Gypsy
Chorus, favorite from that opera
of lasting popularity, THE Bohem-
ian Girl" This was followed by a
solo, "Berceuse" from "Jocelyn,"
sung by Mrs. G. E. Hanson in a
charming and capable manner.
The beauty of this piece was abetted
by the violin obligato by Miss Ethel
Burlingame.
The vocal waltz, blow Soft
Winds,' sung by full chorus was a
tunefu] and pleasing number and
this was followed by the charming
Morn Rise," selected from the
Stephanie Gavotte" which was
perhaps the most popular number
of the evening with the audience
and was effectively sung by the
ladies' chorus, which later gave the
Lullaby from Ermirie." The
wonderful hamonies of this latter
number were made evident, as it
was sung without accompaniment.
In the opinion of many, the rem

BELLOWS BRANCHES OUT

The Toggery is branching out into
new fields this week. A store will
be run in Alfalfa, in connection with
the big store here. Mr.. Bellows
was in the new little city the first
of the week and found things there
just up and a-coming." So he
decided to fill long-felt want by
putting in stock of mems furnish
ings.
The branch will be run by Mr..
Bellows brother, who is a new COM
er in the valley from the coast.
The local branch of the stores will
also house the tailor, who has moved
into the rear of the store.

new PHONE SYSTEM
MAKES MUCH WORK
Company's Men Busy Making Change
Which Will Be Completed by
Middle of Month

The Kennewick Valley Telephone
company is deeply engrossed now
in the business of making the
change in the system, as announced
recently. The boards have arrived
and are in place and the work of
making the numberless connections
is being pushed with all possible
haste.
This change will put Kennewick's 8
phone system on the same basis as
Yakima and Walla Walla, and is
identically the same as that used in
the big cities. In fact, Ritzville is
the only other small town in the
state that has a system equal to
this new one. The change will be
completed by the middle of the
month.
The new boards have cost in the
neighborhood of three thousand
dollars, and several weeks of extra
work. Of the connections of the
wires alone. Mr.. Brown estimates
that there will be ten or twelve
thousand at the very least, and
glimpse into the room will convince
anyone that he is not overestima-
ting his work. Thousands of little
wires leading from the switch board,
have each to be econnected in several
particular places before the wire is
finally led out to the poles. Each
one of these wires must 60 just so,
or the whole board will become be-
fuddled. All this extra outlay of
time and money is to save his pa
irons the effort of twisting the little
crank when they wish to call central.
