kENNEWICk SENDS MANY
TO OPEN RIVER RALLY
Big Crowd Greets Governor and Dimes
at Banquet in Evenint-Perma-
nent Organization Perfected

A goodly delegation of Kenne-
wick folks, escorted by the band,
boarded No. 4 Monday evening and
participated in the closing hours of
Pasco's Open River Rally. Another
bunch went over later, via auto and
ferry. On arriving in Pasco the
band was loaded into four autos and
paraded through the business streets
for an hour or so. Afrer supper
they again played short concert
previous to the reception to Gov.
Hay at the Masonic Temple.
After the reception everybody
went to the Willard Hotel where an
elaborate banquet was given by the
Pasco Chamber of Commerce. The
Pasco people were very hospitable
and took pains to see that all the
Kennewick delegation got seats at
the banquet tables even though
many Of their own members were
forced to 60 banquet-less. The
size of the Kennewick crowd took
the committee of arrangements by
surprise and the big dining room
at the Willard proved altogether too
small to accommodate the crowd.
DR.. n. T. Blalock of Walla Walla
acted as POSTMASTER. Speeches
were made by Gov. Hay and N.
w. Durham of Spokane. The Ken
newick side of the river was heard
from when Geo. F. Richardson and
Mrs. A. B. Ely were called upon
and responded with short addresses.
Mrs. Ely's remarks are printed in
full in another column.
Fifteen cities and towns sent
delegates to the rally. At the
morning session a permanent or
ganization was formed, adopting as
its name The Columbia and Snake
River Waterways Association. !"
Prof. w. D. Lyman of Walla Walla
was elected president; r. C. Beech
of Lewiston, vice-president; George
F. Richardson of Kennewick, sec.
retary and treasurer. 1t was de-
cided to form board of directors
of fifteen, one for each city repre-
serted. The Association adopted
a resolution declaring in favor of
free tolls through the Panama
canal for American ships in the
coastwise trade. Another resolu-
ton was passed, urging upon Con-
gress the necessity of a yearly ap-
propria ton of at least one million
dollars for the completion of the
Cello locks. It was voted to hold
she next meeting VT Lewiston.

ly to the harmonies of the solo and
chorus work.
The decorations added much to
the effectiveness of the production,
as rose bower was simulated by
an arrangement of lattice work and
apple blossoms back of the singers,
making a charming background,
simple yet most attractive.
The most elaborate costuming
could have been no improvement
upon the simple white gowns of the
ladies, making a pleasing contrast
to the conventional attire of the
bass and tenor sections.
As nearly as can be estimated at
this writing, the society will net
about $14O from "The Rose Maid
en-" concert, which will make their
surplus for the season something
over $500. This is a remarkably
good financial showing and one in
which the directors of the society
should take no little pride.
Following are the officers of the
Kennewick Choral Society for the
season just ended, and the names
of those singers and musicians who
took part in the production of THE
Rose Maiden:

woman whose name the officials claim
to know, but are Withholding, pending
further investigation.
The body was discovered shortly

RETURNS FROM
A TRIP TO EUROPE
Unaffected By Fame in the Large
Cities.

Atlanta, April 15.-After winnin.
fame in New York, Washington, Paris,
London and the wide world of novel
readers, Mrs. Lundy Harris is back
again today in the little village of Col
lege Park, to all outward appearances
the same simple, unaffected, plain
spoken Methodist minister's wife that
she was when she left the little towl
years ago to make its characters i'm
mortal in The Circuit Riders Wife. .
1t is related of Alphonse Daudet that
that he was never able to return to
Tarascen because the people of that
little French city refused to forgive
him the faithful picture he drew vi
Tartarin.
Immediately after the Circuit Rid
2r's Wife"5 appeared, it seemed that
Mrs. Harris might have to undergo y
similar exile from College Park fol
the remainder of her days, for the re
mainder of her days, for in the page;
of her book, more than one good dame
and pillar of the church recognized
his or her own traits. What was
worse, many of their neighbors recog-
nized them as we'll.
But the passage of time has served
to soften any rancor in the minds of d
few individuals, and College Park like
the rest of the worsd has learned tC
know that Mrs. Harris caustic wit was
never used with the deliberate inten-
ton to wound, so when she came back
to the little Atlanta suburb she wa>
welcomed as heroine and as a cele-
'brity.
