has received:
His performance was entertaining
and instructive, being full of wit, good
sense and inspiration. His pictures
were exceedingly inter sting and sur
prising, always surprising the expecta-
tions of the audience in their rapidity
of execution and artistic merit. Faces.
| figures, character studies and scenic
views were shown in life-like likeness.
Mr.. Parker sometimes uses both hands
at the same time and making two diff
ferent pictures.

PROVIDE SAFE CROSSING
At O-W. R. & n. BRIDGE

The Board of County Commits
sioners have ordered the immediate
construction of road crossing at
the end OF the O-W. R. & n. bridge
east OF town. There has been some
controversy between the Commits
sloners and the railroad officials as
| to the kind of crossing needed.
Owing to the deep cut at that place,
the commissioners held for an over
head crossing, which the railroad
desired not to have.
A compromise was effected and
the crossing will be completed at
once. The road will be twenty
ieet wide and not exceed 4 per
cent grade, the roadway to be fine
gravel or dirt surface, and protected
oy a stout four-foot fence on the
river side.

KENNEW|CK HAD NO PART
IN ORCHARD FAILURE
Misstatements Made by Daily Papers in
Representing that Wahluke Com
pany hid Local Connections

The odorous post-mortem attend
ing the remains of the Columbia
River Orchards Company, whose
lands are at Wahluke, sixty miles
up the river, has given Kennewick
some bad publicity during the past
few days which this city in no way
deserves.
In their accounts of the failure
the Portland and Seattle papers
have repeatedly referred to the Com
pany as being Kennewick concern,
which statement is absolutely un-
true. No offices of the company were
ever maintained here and no citi-
zen of Kennewick so far asis known,
was connected with the concern
either as salesman, officer or even
as stockholder. On the contrary,
the management of the Columbia
River Orchards has been in the
hands of Portland and Seattle men
and the affairs of the concern have
been handled from offices in those
cities.
At the last meeting of the Com
mercial Club the secretary was Or
dered to draw up resolution setting
forth the above facts, to forward
same to daily papers throughout the
state and otherwise give the true
facts of the matter as much publici-
ty as possible.
The only manner in which Ken
newick may be connected with the
gigantic steal is through the fact
that H. H. Humphrey, who, for
several months was a director in
the company, was at one time
practicing attorney in this city,
but for the past two years has made
his home in Portland. Mr.. Hum
phrey, together with A. J. Beihl of
Seattle, was placed under arrest
Tuesday charged with using the
mails with intention to defraud.

EASTERN STAR
ENTERTAINS MASONS

Wednesday evening, following
their regular business session, Alma
Chapter No. 100, O. f. S., enter
tanned the Masons and their families
in the Masonic hall, which was
tastefully decorated with hearts and
other valentine suggesti ions. Mr..
Shafer, of Walla Walla, was here
displaying his electric player piano
and furnished music all evening,
part of the time playing the violin
accompanied by the piano. The
music was greatly enjoyed by every
one. Eight tables of progressive
whist were leading features, Grant
A. Stewart and Mrs. Yost received
the prizes, which consisted of val
entines. Shooting hearts with bow
and arrow afforded much pleasure
to the younger members present.
Late in the evening refreshments
were served by the ladies. 1t is
hoped that many more such social
gatherings may he held during the
wear.

BAND WILL GIVE CONCERT

The Commercial Club band is now
practicirg for concert which they
expect to give on Friday evening,
March 1st. After the concert they
plan on giving a big public dance.
Several new members will be added
soon to the ranks of the bandboys.
1t will be much appreciated by
those at the head of the band work
if they may be notified whenever
any vacancy occurs in town, either
in clerical work or any of the skilled
trades. Many applications from
bandmen looking for such positions
are now on file and in most cases
a man can be secured on short
notice.

ADJOURNED MEETING
IS A QUIET AFFAIR
City Officials do Little but Routine
Busines at their Last Session
New Cops Employed

The business of the City of Ken
newick, Inc, was transacted last
Tuesday night, in the presence of
empty chairs, with the exception of
the one occupied by a newspaper
representative. Perhaps that long
row of empty chairs had a depress-
ing effect upon the councilmen-
leastways there was nothing of i'm
portance accomplished.
One of the new fire hydrants
could not be worked the other day,
and in the discussion a motion was
made to have the water pressure
tested at intervals, to guarantee
adequate fire protection. While
they were on the subject a motion
was made to have the city clerk get
into commission with the general
manager of the Pacific Power &
Light company, asking why GER
tain water main extensions, ordered
about year ago, were not installed.
Something too, was said about the
lack of brilliancy in the city's new
lights, since the first night or two.
They claim that the meters will run
just as speedily with low voltage
as they will when the lights are
brighter.
A secret ballot was held to NOM
mate the two policemen. Chas.
Copeland and c. T. Irwin were
chosen from a list of eight or ten.
Both are now wearing their bright
new stars, and are studying that
thoughtful stare affected by the blue
coated minions of the law.
Mr.. Annis thought that in few
years Third street would be in the
heart of the business district of the
city of Kennewick, and made q
motion that the size of the sewer
pipe, when it was laid, should be
increased from eight-inch to ten.
The motion carried.
Those farms in the Garden Tracts
and that section east of town, taken
into the city recently, think they
are entitled to little consideration
in the matter of city conveniences,
and they have applied to the coun-
Gil for lights. 1t appears that the
contract made with the power COM
pany calls for lights at each $50 feet
of line. There were but a few lights
asked for in the Garden Tracts and
only two at the Northern Pacific
bridge. A mile, anyway, of new
line would have to be erected, max
ing the cost prohibitive. A consul
tation with manager Andrus may
help solve the problem.

ANDRUS RESIGNS

R. J. Andrus, manager at Ken
newick and Pasco for the Pacific
Power & Light Company, has ten
dered his resignation, to take effect
March 1st, and his position will be
filled by George D. Longmuir, now
manager at Prosser.
Mr.. Andrus is severing his con-
nection entirely with the P. P. &
L. Co. He is not yet ready to state
what he is going to do or where he
is going, but has three different Of
fers under consideration.

Features of Wednesday nights
smoker at the Commercial Hall
were the lively boxing bout between
Hayes, "Pasco's PRIDE" and Hugh
Oothot, local find;" and the
whirlwind start and sudden finish
OF the bout between the aforesaid
Hayes and Carnahan, the local
white hope"
Hayes came over from Pasco tout
ing himself as the real and only
wizard with the gloves around these
parts. He hired out to the athletic
committee at so much per round to
60 on in the main event and show
us some real class. He was pittied
against Oothot, much smaller
man, and made a poor showing,
after what his talk had led US to
expect. Though small, this man
Oothot was there" every minute,
and a match between him and a
good man of his size would be in
teresting to watch.
Hayes thought he might redeem
himself and went On in two round
bout with our little Marvin. This
mill was full of action while it lasted
which was exactly twelve seconds.
By that time Hayes had enough,

heated with anthracite coal, instead
of oil. Anthracite is a rarity in
this section and a ton of it shipped

cost about SIS per ton. One ton of
