f1cient Importance to merit solitary
confinement. This man is%said to be a
disturbing element. He has applied
for parole at each meeting of the
board, but in each instance has been
rejected and he will remain in prison
until his sentence is completed.
Nearly all of the Is convict clerical
and st~enographic positions at the pris-
on are held by former bankers. Some
are holding responsible positions, such
as in civil life would command a sal
airy of from $3.50 to 5000 a month.
With one exception all are TRUSTEES"
and, as such, are accorded more priv
leges than the less better behaved
men. Now that the bankers are going,
former postal employees are getting the
clerical jobs.
The banker colony" occupies rooms
over the office of the deputy warden,
which are used by them as a dormi-
tory, each banker having a room
mate" The rooms are better furnish
ed than ordinary cells, the windows
having white curtains, and each man
can, under limitations, furnish the
room to give it a more homelike ap-
pearance. The rooms" are not locked
at night as are the cellhouses, and the
only key turned upon them is the one
in the outer office of the building. Aft
er they retire to their rooms at the
close Of the days work they are free
to visit each other, under certain re-
strictions, and can smoke, gossip or
amuse themselves as they see fit.

the laugh is decidedly against him:

One morning, while lying in port,
a trifing accident occurred in the
usual mysterious manner. No one
was to blame.
The skipper tackled each member
of the crew until he came to the cabin
boy.
Nov, young shaver!" he remarked,
Maybe I'll get the truth from you.
Who did it?"
Nobody, sir" responded the youth,
who scarcely deemed it wise to blame
any of his ~superiors.

"Mr. Nobody again? You seem to

to have a look at him myself. I am
going ashore now. You can come with
me, and if you don't point out the
house where this Mr.. Nobody lives,

WILD RIDE ON A RHINO.

Quentin Grogan, the big game hunt
er, who acted as guide for Colonel
Roosevelt in Uganda and led him to
the spot where he bagged his white
rhinOs, has just returned from a trip
to the Congo that was successful in
adventure if not otherwise.
GrOgan went out in search of a pair
of live white rhinos. no specimen Of
which is in captivity. He had tough
luck right through. Hippo Bay, where
Roosevelt got his rhinos, was empty,
and Grogan wandered up to Regal.
Here he got in touch with a young
ster, but missed getting a rope about
its leg.
In a mad endeavor to capture the
brute, Grogan flung himself at it,
grabbed it by the cars and mounted
its back. He is probably the only
man who has ever ridden a live white
rhino. The beast screamed with ter
ror and dashed at a wonderful gait
across country.
Frightened though the rhino was,
It didn't forget its native sense and
made straight for a clump of thorn
bushes into which it dashed. Grogan
was literally torn off it's back. His
face and body were lacerated and his
feelings, also, at losing the object Of
his trip. Now he is in a more phtlo-
sophie mood and says:
Never mind, | had a daTned fine

Gary, Ind.-A request made by the

Gary police to find a fourteen-year-
old girl named Wiseman, brought to

Lately, however, a great disturb

Eighth Annual Meeting of State Horti-

Good Papers

The eighth annual meeting If the
State Horticultural Association was
held last week at Charleston, Wash. j,
and from all reports, was the most
beneficial of all the meetings. The
best informed men in the state, on
subjects pertaining to horticulture
deliver d addresses which will prove
Of immense value to ranchers thru
out the state.
Kennewick valley ranchers made
but little effort to attend this meet
ing, owing perhaps, to lack of ad-
vertising, but practical benefit can
yet be obtained by securing report
OF the proceedings.
John Storland and Inspector De-
Sellem both attended and both were
very well pleased with the results.
Both men have consented to take
orders for the reports in full of the
meeting, which is now being pub
lished in book form, and will con-
tain the addresses in full of each of
the speakers. as well as the discus
sion which followed. Mr.. Storland
states that the discussions were Of
as much, if not more real. practical

WHOLESALE WAREHOUSE IS ASSURED
Nathan lhayer will Furnish Money for Fepoof Structure Tract
Convenient to Railroads and Whar-Fnst Club Meeting
Of the New Year is An Active One

The first concrete evidence of what
may be expected from the new dis
tributive rates was given at We'd
nesday nights meeting of the Com
mercial Club when it was announced
that Nathan Thayernow stands ready
to furnish funds to construct the
community wholesale warehouse.
The building will be located in the
triangle between the three railroads
on the tract secured by Mr.. Thayer
and others last summer, will be of
fireproof construction and of ade-
quate size to accommodate all firms
wishing to place stocks here during
the coming year. Mr.. Thayer an
nounces that he is in position to
commence construction at once and
will also stand ready to increase the
size of the building as the demands
for space warrant. 1t is hoped to
have the warehouse ready by March
1st, at which time the new rates
take effect.
Being the first meeting of the
new year the session of the club saw
the new president, M. M. Moulton
in the chair. Mr.. Henderson in
retiring thanked the membership
for their cooperation during his
term and especially the governing
board, the advertising committee
and the entertainment committee
for their activities.
Mr.. Moulton. in taking his seat,
addressed a few remarks to the club.
The new president believes that the
only way to get things done is for
the club to select those purposes
which they would accomplish and
to keep hammering upon them, one
at time, until they become reali-
ties.
Secretary Gardner's financial re-
port shows that the clubs expenses
have exceeded it's income with
monotonous regularity during the
past seven months and there is q
deficit at present of some $40.

That in summer we could shovel snow
And in winter NOW the grass!
In common with other localities
throughout the state, Kennewick
has been experiencing a week of
sure-enough winter. Beginning last
Friday, ''the beautiful" began to
fall and up to date we have had
nine inches of it according to the
weather gauge. Saturday afternoon
and evening approached as nearly

pens in this section of the country.
Sunday night the government ther-
mometer said nine below which is
the coolest so far this winter, though
the mercury has been down in the
vicinity of the zero mark nearly
every night since. Warmer at this
writing, but the forecast says more
snow and colder.'' Fine sleighing
now, and weird and wonderful are
some of the homemade contrivances
which have been rugged up to take
advantage of it.

remarks were replete with facts and

HIGH SCHOOL LECTURE COURSE OPENS TUESDAY, JAM q

One of the strongest numbers Of
the lecture course, presented this
year by the Pacific Lyceum Bureau
and given under the auspices of the
High School. is the lecture scheduled
for the 23rd, by DR.. E. Tremayne
Dunstan on Sane Socialism at
Work" +" The lecture deals with
interesting experimental legislation
of Australia and New Zealand and
takes up old age pensions, uni
versal suffrage, and several other
questions will become paramount in
the eyes of the American public and
are already of intense interest to
all who have the welfare of their
country at heart. The lecture is
to be given Tuesday evening, the
23rd and proba bly, will be in audi
torium of the new high school if the
building is ready for occupancy by
that time.
An extract from the Yakima
Herald which reviews the Doctors
lecture, reads as follows:
''The lecture throughout was of the
most practical nature in that it gave
the strongest evidence that the highest
practical ideality was the very best
form of government. If this city
should again be favored by visit from
DR.. Dunstan, those hearing him at this
time will see thatevery person interested
in a better North Yakima, shall have
the benefit of so forceful and fortified
speaker"
The welcome which was extended
to the speaker at our sister city
should be a guarantee of his ex-
cellence and insure a large audience
for this number, here.
One attractive feature of this
course is it's low price, 81. so for the
entire course. This offer has not
been equailed before in the history
of Kennewick and all should take
advantage of it. The course is high
" recommended and has been taken
