The Dukes Advice.

The great Duke Of Wellington had an
unfortunate experience at Oxford. He
pronounced Jacobus with the second
syllable short and was duly ad-
monished. Shortly after the word
Carolus came in his speech, and, profit
Ing. as he thought, by experience. he
made the second syllable long, only to
be pulled up again. Possibly he re-
flected that there are worse terrors
than those Of the battlefield. This. at
least. was his advice to an aspiring
orator: "Say what you have to say,

1t Is n fact, however. that the tiger

a ram. A soldier owned fighting

State Politics

The suffragets in Michigan are about
10 embark on state wide campaign
for the ballot. Miss Chttenden. OF
Lansing. has been appointed by tbs
executive committee of the stat,
grange to have charge of it, and
March 13 there will be meeting OF
the grange committee. the officers OF
the Federation of Woman's Clubs and
OF the Equal Suffrage association al
the capital. The strongest card the
suffragets so far hold is the support OF
the state grange, which is one of the
most influential political factors i'm the
state. II Is believed that there is much
suffrage sentiment in Michigan and II
is predicted with confidence that the
women viii make much stronger
showing in the next regular session of
the legislature than they did in the
session OF 1911.
A special session of the legislature,
or of congress, is rarely of benefit TO
the state. The memory of Pingree's $
special sessions is fresh Cor the re-
verse OF fresh) in the public mind.
They accomplished nothing. and Presi-
dent Tafts special session brought him
nothing but trouble.
But our own Gov. Osborn, undeterred
by preceding calamities has called n
special session of the Michigan legis .
lature To provide Il presidential prim-
airy, so the voters of this state of all
parties can 90 TO the polls some time
In the spring and express their pre-
ferences as to president.
There seems little doubt that the
law will be passed. Michigan has
been voting steadily for the primary
plan for years. until now only some
of the state officers are nominated
in convention.
Why should we balk at a presidcn-
tial primary? Let Reform proceed -

PROF. KIMBALL TO GO
TO CITY IN MIDDLE WEST
Band Committee Looking for Man to
Fill Directors PIace-Will
Ask City's Aid

The committee appointed at the
last meeting of the Commercial Club
to make the necessary arrangements
for continuing the band work during
the coming year are now in corre-
spondence with musicians in Spo-
kane and Seattle in an effort to find
man competent to fill Prof. G. O.
Kimball's place as director.
Prof. Kimball has decided that
he will not seek a renewal of his
contract for the coming year, but
will proba bly, 60 to the middle west
where he will look into the merits
Of several prospective locations.
From the standpoint of a success,
musically, Prof. Kimball's year in
Kennewick has been all and more
than was the hope of those who
were instrumental in having him
come here. HIS has developed the
musicianship of the band to a de-
gree much higher than is usually
found in small city organizations.
and the success of the choral society
under his training will always be a
matter of pride with the local
singers.
Prof. Kimball feels that he owes
it o himself to seek a larger field
where, aside from any salary he
may receive, he may begin the
building of a retail music business.
He had such venture in mind
when he came to this city but found
that the field is not yet large enough
to make a business of this kind
profitable.
Such a thing as discontinuing the
band work never for a moment has
been considered. Several of the
heaviest contributors to the fund
during the past year have said that
rather than see the work dropped
they would be willing to double their
subscriptions. 1t is the purpose of
the committee, however, to have
the band made a municipal organ
ization, if possible, and a petition
asking that a sum sufficient for its
support be Included in the budget
for the coming year, will be pre-
sented to the council at its next
regular meeting

SCHEDULE ARRANGED
FOR FAST FRUIT SPECIAL
Northern Pacific to Start It's 99-HOur
Schedule to the East On
Monday Next

Arrangements have been made
for Northern Pacific special fruit
train service out of this valley be-
ginning Monday next, August 5th.
Special fruit trains of 25 cars and
more will be run to Fargo and
points east. The cars will be
picked up at the various stations as
far west as Ellensburg during the
nights and dropped at Pasco to be
made up into solid fruit trains.
These trains will leave Pasco at
6 am. and will arrive at St. Paul
at 1 1 am. of the fourth day, which
gives a 99-hour service from the
starting point. This is practically
the same service that has prevailed
the past two years over the Northern
Pacific during the fruit season and
it has been generally satisfactory to
the growers.
Officials of the road say they have
icing arrangements made sufficient
for icing enough cars to carry all
the fruit of the Yakima valley. AS
only IS per cent of the fruit is ex-
pected to be shipped under refrig-
Grafton, there is no danger of the
icing facilities proving inadequate.

FORMER BOAT RATES STICK

The hearing before Commissioner
Harry E. Wilson at Hanford We'd
nesday, concerning the proposed
raise in the fruit tariff on the steam
boats, resulted in an order forbid
ding the raise.
The present rate is twenty cents
per hundred. The Columbia Steam
boat Co., previous to the sinking of
the Todd, had asked permission to
raise the rate to 25 cents. This re-
quest was also made by the Open
River people when the Relief was
put on the run. After an investi-
cation of local conditions the in
crease was denied and the old rate
Of four cents box will continue in
effect.

BAPTIST SOCIETY PLANS
new CHURCH BUILDING
Designs to be Submitted Next Sunday
for an $4,000. 90 Reinforced
Concrete Structure

If present plans do not mis- carry
the Baptist Society of Kennewick
will soon be housed in one of the
finest churches in this section of the
state. U. Grant Fay, an architect,
OF Seattle, was in the city yesterday
to submit plans to the Baptists for
a handsome re inforced concrete
edifce, as a result of the past years
planning.
The plans and estimates will be
presented to the church next Sun
day for ratification. and members
of the committee express confidence
that they will be accepted, and the
work commenced in the near future.
The plans submitted to the COM
mittee by Mr.. Fay call for rein
forced concrete structure after the
Gothic style of architecture, forty
by seventy feet, with a short square
tower and full basement. The
building will seat three hundred
200 in the auditorium, fifty in the
lecture room, separated by folding
doors from the main room, and as
many more can be seated in the
parlour, above the lecture room.
The auditorium proper will con-
tain an open baptistry to the right
of the pulpit, with the organ and
choir loft on the opposite side,
back of which will be the robing
room and the PASTORS study. Space
enough will be provided in the
choir loft to install bui]t-in organ,
should the society decide in the fu-
ture to have one.
In the basement, which will be
under the whole building, there are
plans for a large Sunday School
room, smaller one for the prim-
ary department, a kitchen, and a
furnace room.
If the plans are accepted the pre-
sent pudding will be moved to the
rear of the lot and remodeled for
use as parsonage
Mr.. Fay, the architect, has made
reputation for himself as de-
signer of churches, having built the
new First Baptist church in Walla
Wal!a, and having had the design
ing of several Of the best churches
in Seattle and Tacoma.

REv|S|0NS MADE
IN CONTRACT
Cannery Company Seems Willing
to Meet All Reasonable
Demands of Growers

A fair sized gathering of repres-
entative fruit growers and business
men met at the Commercial haal
Tuesday night to hear Rufus x.
Wilson explain the details of the
proposed fruit products plant. Mr..
Wilson's talk was brief and was
practically repetition of the facts
as stated in last weeks Courier.
In the discussion which followed
Mr.. Wilson's talk several sugges-
tions were made regarding the rela-
ton of the proposed company tow
ard the growers. These new fea-
lures have been worked out and are
now incorporated in the new con-
tract, one clause stating that the
subscription shall become void un-
less the company has completed the
construction at some accessible point,
of a plant adequately equipped to
evaporate, can or otherwise preserve
two thousand carloads of fruit, each
year." This clause was inserted as
result of the complaint at the
meeting that the company had not
bound itself to any definite promise.
Another question, that of the price
to be paid for the fruit resulted in
the adoption in the contract of the
following additional phrase: but
the price or prices thus agreed upon
shall never be less than double the
actual cost of picking the fruit and
Of hauling it to and loading it ON
cars at the nearest railway station"
A transfer option was also incorpor-
ated in the new contract form.
AS chairman of the committee
from the Commercial Club, Mr..
Sly asked for an expression of the
feeling of the fruit growers, which
was unanimously in favor of the
proposition. In fact, since the meet
ing quite few of them have signi-
fed their willingness to sign the new
contract.
The investigating committee has
turned the matter back to the club
as a whole, with the recommends
tion that that body secure attorneys
to look into the legal end OF the
matter, and if satisfactory, use the
influence of the body to back the
proposition.
Mr.. Wilson left for Seattle Thurs
day morning, where he will he pre-
sent at the incorporation of the
company. Before he left he stated
to the Courier that he had made a
tentative agreement with Chas. Con-
way for the purchase of the forty
acres in the triangle formed by the
three railroads as a site for the pro-
posed plant.
The meeting here Tuesday is the
first of a series to be held in the
towns in the Yakima valley in the
immediate future to get contracts
for material signed, on the success
of which depends the building of
the plant.
