RAILROAD SUFFERS
FROM COLD WEATHER:
TRAINS RUNNING SLOW TO AVOID
ACCIDENTS AND EVERY
PROBATION TAKEN.
New Theory as to Cause Of Broken
Rails Advanced by Experts-More
Cold Weathe:: Promised ext Week..

HE past tnfee weeks nave reen
the hardest in the history of railroad
ing in the states of North and South
Dakota. The enormous expenses in
CURED in the keeping the tracks and
rolling stock in condition for use has
gone deeply into the appropriations
for the maintenance OF way for this
year.
Reports from the roads in South
Dakota state that the roads in that
section nave been nearly put out of
service by the numerous broken rails.
One particular instance was in that
Of the Milwaukee 70 between Aber-
deem and Mil5ank, distance of SO
miles, where over 900 rails are said
to have been broken by a flat wheel
on a car. This one line of breaks
set back all trains on that line and
compelled the company to run their
trains by way of Sioux City, Mitchell
and Aberdeen.
The Great Northern in this state
has likewise been up against a stiff
proposition. During the last two
weeks, it is said, they have taken out
on the division between Devils Lake
and Mnot. p carloads of broken rails.
This consists Of short division, and
if tho rest of the line has suffered in
comparison to the above the number
and quantity of rails taken out must
have reached an enormous figure.
The Northern Pacific has had it's
share of the troubles and since the
cold weather commenced not train
has been in on time and the majority
have been running as late as from two
to fifteen hours.
Today's trains are running from
three to seven hours late, and last
nights No. l is running today as
No. 3.
Causes Of Broken Rails.
Experts are coming forward with
t'ho statement that the cause of so
mlny broken rails is not due entirely
to the brittleness Of the steel when
at very low temperature, but really
is due to the .heaving and changing
of position of the ground. The heav-
ing Of the ground when frozen may
lift one part of rail and depress at
another point until great stress is
brought upon the slender steel. Then
when the heavy running gear of the
engines pass over the point of great.
est tension the condition of the earth
and rigid position of the rail loses all
elasticity and the broken rail is the
! result.

The last Saturday in the month.
the 9th. has been set as the date
of Kennewick's first market dav.
On that day every farmer in the
valley who has anything of value of
which he wishes to dispose is invited
to bring it to this city. H. S.
Hughes of Hover has been engaged
as auctioneer and, commencing at
9 a. M, he will conduct an all day
sale, free of any charge to those
having goods to sell. The entire
expenses of conducting the sale will
be borne by the business houses of
the city.
The committee in charge wish it
thoroughly understood that the sale
is to be for the benefit of farmers
only. No business house will be
allowed to offer goods at the auction
and no individual will be allowed
to ship in any goods to compete
with wares offered by the farmers.
Many OF the business houses will
undoubtedly put on special sales on
that day, and it is the hope of the
committee in charge that this first
sale will be such bargain event
that market day in Kennewick will
be made a monthly feature.

1t is to be doubted if ever an Ar
Dor Day was observed more fitting
ly and Systematically than was the
day in Kennewick yesterday. The
task of planting 5000 trees of vari-
Gus kinds along ten miles of the
river front from the Hoyt place west
of the city to the O-W. R. & N
bridge five miles east was taken up
and carried through without a hitch.
Practically every able-bodied man
in the city took advantage of the
general holiday which had been de-
clared and nine O'Clock found the
gangs marshaled at their stations
along the river front ready for busi-
ness.
The work was in charge of ten
captains, with R. A. Oliver as mar
shall of the day. Each captain had
mile of the stretch to oversee and
each knew just what was to be done
and how they were to do it, so there
was no confusion. The trees ar
rived from the Montana nursery on
Wednesday morning in plenty of
time to be sorted, apportioned and
distributed to the various captains.
AS if in commentator of the
effort at beautifying our environs,
old Mother Nature smiled and sent
as perfect day as one ever enjoyed.
1t was day to create in the cooped-
up business man a desire to grab a
shovel and get out-of-doors. even at
the expense of few blisters and a
lame back the next day.

EASTER AT ST. JOSEPn'S

A large congregation celebrated the
early morning mass at St. Joseph S
Roman Catholic church on Easter
Sunday. This was the first time that
Easter has been celebrated in St. :
Joseph's church. The Rev. Father
Jones addressed the congregation on
Loyalty to God, to the Nation and
to the Church" Under the leader
ship of Mrs. Clifford, the choir of
eight voices rendered "Salva Regina"
and other we'll known hymns.
The altar was decorated with
white carnations and green potted
plants, the latter being loaned for the
occasion by Mrs. Ellis.
This Easter celebration marked the
success of the efforts of few faith
full members who for two years have
been labouring to perfect a Roman
Catholic organization in Kennewick.

Beavers WELL A SUCCESS

At a depth of 452 feet, splendid
flow of pure water has been secured
in the we'll on Averil Beavers 16O
acre homestead on the western
Highlands. The pump was con-
nected up last week and operated
for four hours without appreciably
lowering the stand of water which
rises to within 176 feet of the surface.
When his plant is fully completed
Mr.. Beavers will have one of the
finest wells in this section of the
county. The hole, which is 124
inches in diameter, was drilled by
Miller & Son, who have been on the
job for many months. Mr.. Beavers
has installed a 40 h. p. NJ. & w.
oil engine and a 1O-inch pump
which, at % strokes to the minute,
throws a 400 gal. stream. The
we'll and plant complete will prob
ably cost the owner in excess of
$500.

WHOLE CITY OBSERVES ARB0R DAY

hot coffee and doughnuts had been
prepared by the women's clubs and
were taken to the scenes of action
in auto loads at noon so that none
of the planters had the opportunity
to 60 home for lunch and forget to
come back.
So far as possible the trees were
set just inside the property line
where in a majority of cases they
will be watered, sprayed and prop
erly cared for during their infancy.
All in all it was job to be proud
of, and five or ten years from now,
we may all drive along the river
boulevard in our autos and swell
with pride as we point to the mag
nificient ten mile row of shade trees
and say: Il helped put them there. :"
The committee on the Arbor Day
plans made just one mistake-that
of planning a big basket social as a
wind-up of the days celebration.
They did not stop to reason that the
average man, unused to manual
labor, would have had about all the
festivities he could stand for one day,
by the time he had finished digging
holes and planting hundred or 80
trees.
So the basket social was very light
ly attended and no attempt was
made to auction off the baskets
which had been prepared. After a
short band concert and some speech
making the lunches were shared
with the visiting Pasco delegation
and everyone went home to get a
we'll earned rest.

PLAY At PASCO SUNDAY

Kennewick will journey across the
creek next Sunday and cross bats with
the Pasco aggregation. 1t is expected
that quite bunch of the local fans
will accompany the team, anxious to
get line on how the old rivals will
size up this season.
Last Sundays game with the P. P.
& L. team degenerated into rather a
listless affair after the first few inn
ings and was won by the locals by a
9 to 0 score. The Power Company
boys were weak on battery work,
while they could do little with Lark
in's offerings. Punk pitched the
full nine innings, allowed but two
clean hits and struck out fifteen men.
The baseball association wish to
thank the many who so generously
patronized their dance given last Fri
day night. They feel that they are
especially indebted to the orchestra
who donated the music and to the
Commercial Club for the use of the
hall. About SIS was netted to be
used in purchasing equipment for the
team and in putting the grounds in
shape.

Last evening delegation of about
forty live ones from the Pasco Cham
ber of Commerce came to Kennewick
via auto and ferry. There was no.
thing coy and retiring about this
Pasco bunch, and within five min
utes from their arrival nearly every
body within a radius of two miles
knew about it.
They were finally quieted some-
what and escorted to Commercial
Hall where they were made ac-
ouainted with members Of the local
club, and their wives, who had
gathered to close the Arbor Day
celebration with basket luncheon.
The Pasco men were here to arouse
interest in the big open river rally
which will be held in that city next
Monday. The purpose of the rally
and the program which has been
prepared were fully explained in
short talks by several of the Pasco
business men, and their visit will
undoubtedly result in large dele
cation being present from here next
Monday. The results of the rally
will be of as direct benefit to Ken
newick as to Pasco, and everyone
who is interested in the upbuilding
of a great river commerce should
attend.

MORE CONTRACTS
TO 2-M|RACLEC0.
Will Build Walks in Districts No.
5 and 6 at a Cost of
$l6,385.OO

Tuesday nights called meeting OF
the city council had nice audience,
the majority of the spectators being
present to witness the letting of two
additional contracts for the city's
new concrete sidewalks. Repre-
sentatives from six contracting con-
Germs of Portland, Seattle and Spo-
kane were present and submitted
bids.
In the two districts, Nos. 5 and 6,
the estimates called for 1925
square feet of four-inch walks, and
5,317 square feet of six-inch walks,
with the curbing, corner irons and
electric conduits in proportion.
The bids for both districts were
let to the 2-Miracle Corporation, on
the basis of 111 cents per square
foot for the four-inch walk and 134
cents square foot for the six-inch
walk. The total for district No. 5
amounted to sS,46O.74, being
S11O.O3 lower than the next lowest
bid, which was made by the Naylor
& Norlin Company, Of Spokane.
In District No. 6,the 2-Miracle con-
Germ bid $7924.92, but $55 lower
than the Naylor ::& Norlin firm.
In District No. 6, 61,721 square
feet of four-inch walk and 1904
square feet of six-inch walk were
called for, with the accompanying
curbs and conduits.
After the letting of the bids for
the two districts, another batch of
were ordered by the third
reading Of Ordinance No. 139,
which same is published in this is
sue of The Courier giving in detail
the proposed improvement. This
district will take in blocks s and 9
in the first addition to Kennewick
and Menhinick's, Morain's and
Weisel's additions to the city, COW
ering Washington street nearly to
the second bridge across the canal.
Resolutions of intention were
passed on the two proposed inn
provement districts for the layingof
curb in the city and the date for
hearing the objections set for the
26th day of April at eight O'Clock.
It was reported that the fire
belonging to the city has
been neglected, the case in particu-
lar being that the chemical was not
charged when it was wanted at the
Hettinger fire recently. This
brought up the discussion of suit
able alarm. The fire committee
will be sent to Walla Walla in the
near future to inspect the apparatus
now in use in that city, as well as
the big siren. 1t was also recon-
that the city organize fire
department..
The bills that were passed by the
finance committee were ordered
paid, but there were one or two,
which related to the stenoerapher's
bill, which were rendered by the
city clerk and the city attorney,
which were laid over. An effort
will be made to combine the two in
The future.
