Mrs. Austin and Mrs. Held, whose

Although the Kennewick Hardware
Co. has been delayed several days in
the completion of their new building,
they are now in position to lay claim
to the finest and largest mercantile es-
tablishment in the town. We doubt
very much as to whether there is a
finer store of it's kind in Yakima county.

NARROW ESCAPE

c. H. Lewis, engineer at the
Twin City Ice & Cold Storage
company's plant, narrowly escaped
death by asphixiation, Tuesday
morning while working with frozen
pipes. A bad break occurred in
the condensing room and after max
ing repairs elsewhere, Mr.. Lewis
stepped into the room. The ice
had melted allowing the amonia
fumes to escape in the meantime,
and he had scarcely gone two feet
before he dropped, unconsc ious.
By fortunate circumstances, other
workmen, stood near the door, saw
him fall to the floor, and were able
to drag him out into the open air
before being overcome by the amonia
themselves. It was some time after
his rescue had been affected before
he regained consciousness. A few
minutes spent in the condensing
room would have meant certain
death, and it was narrow squeak
as it was. The pipes throughout
the plant are now in order.

urday night, the sixth, at 8 O'Clock.

room. OF these, about half have
already been reserved for the band
and distinguished guests from out
of town. The remaining half are
expected to be taken up quickly by

be given subscribers to the rate fight
fund.

conducted Kennewick s case before
the commission; Pres. Guy w. Tai
bot of the Pacific Power & Light
company; Capt. w. S. Buchanan,

kane, former editor of the Spokes-
