START BASEBALL SEASON
With BIG Benefit DANCE
Prospects Bright for Crack Team
Married Men Beat Bachelors
in First Game

The baseball boys hope for one of
the largest crowds ever seen on a
dance floor in Kennewick when, on
Friday evening of next week, April
5th, they will give a hop, the pro-
ceeds of which will go toward de-
fraying the initial expenses of pre-
pairing the grounds and putting a
team in the field.
Everybody is anxious to give the
boys a good start as there is gen.
eral opinion that with the talent al
ready in sight Kennewick will be
more than usually we'll represented
on the diamond during the coming
season. The Commercial Club has
donated the use Of the hall, musi-
clans from the club orchestra have
volunteered their services gratis, and
now it is up to everybody who likes
good baseball to buy ticket and
help the good cause along.
B. E. Reser has been elected Sec
retary-treasurer and H. E. Holloway
manager of the baseball association
for the season.
Last Sundays game between the
married and single men afforded
the first tryout of the season for a
number of the old-timers and some
of the youngsters and newcomers
who are anxious to hold uniform
on this summers team.
Larkin and Cryderman, who al
ternated in the box last season, op-
posed each other for few innings
and each showed that his salary
wing'' was in working order. The
final score was 10 to 6 or there
abouts, in favor of the old men.

GOVERNMENT ENDEAvORS
TO THWART JACK FROST
Accurate Local Forecasts to be Sent
Through Valley During
Dancer Season

The danger season for the fruit
raisers in this valley has just begun,
some two weeks earlier than in any
other section of the state. Those of
the growers who are prepared to
chase J. Frost with the smudge pots
are desirous of being forewarned, if
possible, of the danger times. The
U. S. Department Of Agriculture
has placed man in the Yakima
valley solely for the protection of
the crops in this section. The De-
partment has installed expensive
equipment to do this and is going
to quite an expense for telegraph
and telephone messages to warn the
growers.
The warnings for the Kennewick
valley are based on observations
made here every day. These OBJ
servations are telegraphed to Yaki-
ma, where an expert is stationed
during this period. He in turn
makes the predictions which are
telephened to the central offices of
the Kennewick Valley Telephone
company. The managers of the
company have made arrangements
to give this information to anyone
interested, who will call after seven
O'Clock in the evening.
Ordinarily the forecasting station
at North Yakima does not begin
the warnings until about the tenth
of April, that being the time the
frost is liable to damage fruit in the
Yakima district. Owing to the petit
ton made by the Kennewick grow
ers this service has been started
three weeks earlier. This action of
the bureau should be appreciated by
every grower and taken advantage

TWO BIG WAREHOUSES; NOW BUILDING
r. Arnold Hauling Material for 50 10 Two-Story Commun,
Warehouse-Nathan Thayer to Erect Structure Of Same
Proportions on Front Street for F. & P. Co.

Two notable additions to Kenne-
wick s wholesale houses will be made
this spring through the erection of
two concrete warehouses, each to
cost approximately $4,000.
F. ]. Arnold and Nathan Thayer
are the men who are financing the
erection of these structures. Each
has men and teams at work hauling
sand and gravel, and excavating for
the Easements will be commenced
during the coming week.
The building to be erected by Mr..
Arnold will serve the city as COM
munity warehouse for housing stocks
which will be placed here for dis
tribution by Portland, Seattle and
Spokane wholesale houses. 1t will
be located on the nine acres COM
prised in tracts 5, 6, s and 9 of
Hover's Park Villa Tracts, which
Mr.. Arnold recently purchased from
E. NJ. Sly and Nathan Thayer.
This site affords one of the most
advantageous locations for its pur-
pose in the city, as from it spurs
may be laid to each of the three
railroads and easy access given to
the docks.
Ever since the development of
the city into a distributing point of
importance, the need of such a ware
house has been uppermost in the
minds of the ''get-ahead" element
in the Commercial Club. Con-
siderable hustling has been done by
the members of that body to sec ure
it's construction and at one time
efforts were made to interest outside
capital in the enterprise. Now
that Mr.. Arnold has decided to
shoulder the investment himself, he
should have the hearty support of
local business people in securing

for him the necessary railroad con-
nections and in aiding him to Sc
cure the tenants to make his invest
ment of $4,000 a self-supporting
one.
In addition to the advantage such
a warehouse will give to this city as
a distributive point, Mr.. Arnold be-
lieves that many travelling men will
in course of time he brought
to make Kennewick their home
and headquarters, in order to be
near their base of supplies.
Mr.. Thayer's building will be
located on lots 7 and 8 of block 3,
first addition, west of the old bottl-
ing works building on Front street.
1t will be occupied by the business
offices and retail business of the
Fruit & Produce company.
Manager Sly has been on the
lookout for the past two weeks for
a location in which to house the re-
tail end of the company's business,
at one time being on the point of
securing one of the uptown store
rooms. The large volume of trade
handled, amounting to approxi-
mately carload a day, made this
inadvisable on account of the great
amount of trucking which would
have to be done. Mr.. Thayer's Of
fer to build the new structure, and
the advantageous site secured-ad-
joining the right-of-way and close
to the present warehouse-will give
the company just the sort of build
ing and location they require.

newick's business buildings are very
nearly alike in dimensions and gen.
eral plans. Each will be of fire.

''RnsE MAIDEN" WILL

:ort SoIoists will Aid Choral
Society in Producing Beautiful
COwen Cantata

IN Wednesday evening. April
,7tb the Kennewick Choral Society
will perform Frederick H. Governs
beautiful cantata, THE Rose
Maiden"
coven is a famous English COM
noser and has written many beauti-
ful cantatas. He is delightfully."-
noetic and fanciful in his style.
1.-THE Rose Maiden is his best can
tata and is considered by musicians
TO be one of the most delightful vo-
cal works ever written.
The chorus for the occasion will
number about 20 voices and has
been carefully selected and prepared
for the work.
The soloists will be the best that
can be obtained in this Northwest
and their performance Of the solos,
duets and trios in the cantata will
afford our people a wonderful treat.
The Commercial Club orchestra
will play the accompaniments for
soloists and chorus.
The argument of The Rose
Maiden is as follows:
The Queen of the Flower Fairies.
weary of,a life Of unbroken calm,
prays Of the newly returned Spring
that he will bestow upon her also
: the gift of love that he bestows up
on man. He warns her of the risk
she runs, but finally yields to her
entreaties by changing her while
she sleeps into the form of beauti-
full girl. Under the name of Rose
blossom, she wanders through the
world to find the love that she seeks,
and meets with a girl who, having
been betrayed and deserted by her
lover, loses her senses and dies
broken-hearted. But, undeterred
from her search, Roseblossom be-
comes the wife of a forester, with
!. whom she lives for time in such
perfect happiness that she cannot
survive his death. The elves be-
wall the fate of their Queen, and
curse love as fatal to peace and hap
piness.
A list OF the soloists will appear
IN next weeks issue of the Courier.

AMATEURS DO WELL

Recollections of the Girl of the
Hour" played at the Pavilion last
week by the Rebekahs, under the
direction of w. E. Graham, bring
many a smile and chuckle for as
bit of light comedy, put on by
home talent, it has rarely been ex-
celled in the history of the city's
dramatic ventures. A notable fea-
ture of its production was that it
was put on only eight days after the
first rehearsal but Notwithstanding
the brief preparations. the members
of the cast had their parts down pat
and each act went off smoothly with
out single break.
The play drew a fairly good house
here and Saturday night the people
of Richland were entertained in the
assembly room of their new high
school. Monday evening it was
staged in the Crystal Theatre in
Pasco with a good crowd in attend
ance and, while the members of the
lodge were in hopes that there would
be larger financial returns, all feel
that the effort made was worth while
and the results in keeping with the
time and labor expended.
