The old idea of parks was that they
are luxuries and are chiefly for those
who had time and taste to enjoy the
beautiful. A city or town that could
afford parks was regarded much in the
same light as a rich man who pos.
sessed in his own home beautiful
paintings, statuary and other works
Of art. These were obtained chiefly to
crafty the pride of the owner or to
crafty the taste of the family and
friends capable Of enjoying such
things.
Soon it was seen that parks not only
furnished pleasure. but greatly in
creased the health and happiness of
the people and improved the social and
moral conditions of the communities,

Shirley Holmes and Superintendent
Lewis were the winners in this con-
test. A clever arrangement of purple
and gold ribbons paired the guests
off for supper. The class flower, the
marguerite, was used very artistic
ally in the dinning room and a
miniature lake was the center piece
at the dinner table. The placecards
were marguerites. The guests re-
port very merry evening, the only
element of sadness being e
knowledge that their beloved host

and honored by all her pupils and
her loss is a matter of personal regret
to each of them.

WALLOP THE INDIANS
IN INTERESTING GAME
Good Stick Work by Locals Defeats
Team from OREGON
Indian School

Before a big crowd the Kenne-
wick team pounded out at 9 to 4
victory over the team of Chinook
Indians from the Chemawah, Ore
gon, Indian school. This is the
third game the visitors have lost,
out of eight, so far on their tour.
They play a team from the Spokane
city league today and 60 on east
from there. Though the men on
the Indian team handled themselves
as though they knew the game,
they displayed very little pep"
in their contest here, indicating
probably that they are finding their
schedule of playing during the day
time and travelling nights a trifle
too strenuous.
The visitors looked dangerous in
the first inning only, when three
hits by the first three men up and
and a base on balls forced in a run.
Luckily the next Indian hit into
a double play and this was followed
by an easy out, so one run was all
the damage that was done.
Kennewick did some clouting in
their half of the first, putting over
two scores on trio of two -baggers.
After that the locals were never
headed, hitting the ball consistent
ly in every inning. Stull led in the
batting, connecting with the ball fol-
a triple, a double and single. Shinn
got a double and two singles, Howe
got two doubles, Larkin double and
a single and Perry three singles.
Larkin was wild, walking seven
men-more passes than he has is.

APPEALS TO SECRETARY FISHER

Harry Beach has filed for rehear-
ing in his homestead contest with G.
E. Hanson, for hundred and sixty
acre tract on the Highlands. The
case was passed on a month or so
ago by the assistant Secretary of the
Interior, with an inference that Mr..
Hanson had prior right. However,
Lockerby & Kolb, attorneys for Mr..
Beach, petitioned that rehearing be
given before Secretary of the Interior
Fisher, and they expect the decision
will be reversed.
The case was heard before Land
Commissioner Gillis, at Walla Walla,
Wednesday, Sharpstein & Sharp
stein representing Mr.. Hanson's in
terests, and Lockerby & Kolb Mr..
Beach's. The contestant claims an
insufficient amount of improvement
work had been done on the claim
the first year, and that those were
sufficient grounds for contesting, out
side of the ruling of the Assistant
Secretary.
Quite a few local people were pre-
sent as witnesses. A definite decis-
ion will be delayed for a month OF
50, when Mr.. Beach expects to re.
ceiye title to the land contested.

One feature of the contest was
that the training of the participants
was largely in their own hands as
the teachers gave them NO assist

The donor of the prizes, who pre-.
fers to conceal his identity. may feel
highly gratified at the success of the
contest as it has stimulated the in.

which will be especially beneficial tc
them in training, and while all
could not win, each participant has
been more than repaid for his work
in the experience gained and diff
dence overcome by speaking in pub

Sewer AND walk
CONTRACT LET
Local Contractor Gets Cement
Job, Sewer Work Goes to
Spokane Firm

Six contracting firms bid on the
construction Of the city's sewer sys-
tenn last Tuesday night. The con-
tract was awarded to the Northwest
ern Construction Co., of Spokane,
on a bid of S37 1893. 20, which was
just about half the amount asked
by the highest bidder.
The work includes all the laterals
and the main on Washington street
and will cover all the city west of
Washington, south of the n. P.
tracks and east of the Northern Pa
cific Irrigation company's canal, as
well as the larger portion of the
Beach addition. The job, complete,
will include the excavation, fur
nishing and laying the pipe, with
brick man-holes and flush tanks.
Engineer Smith estimates that
the work will be completed not
sooner than tho first of December,
allowing for no unforeseen delays.
The firm to whom the contract
was given is composed of Burns Il
Hall. who have had many years ex-
perience in the contracting line, in
Spokane and elsewhere. Mr.. Burns
is also a property-owner in the
Kennewick valley, having a place
south of town, which produced
prize-winning specimens last year.
Active work will be started as
soon as the equipment and material
can be procured.
The contract for the sidewalks in
improvement District No. 8 was
let to F. J. Mayfeld. a brother-in-
law of w. A. Morain. Mr.. May
field is new conner in the Kenne-
wick valley, who will make his
home here, following the contract
ing business.
His bid amounted to 81 ,828.5O,
while the 2-Miracle Concrete Co. =,
the successful bidder on the three
preceding contracts, bid 1888. .O5
Mr.. Mayield's bid included an es.
timated amount ola thousan nd yards
of excavation, for which he has
made no charge.
Attorney Rider, representing the
O.-W. R. & N, appeared before
the council in regard to the sewer
assessment against their Front
street property. He offered to COM
promise with the city, asking in re-
turn that the city limit certain
sections in their franchise or
dinance. No action was taken,
other than referring it to the city
attorney.
An ordinance creating the office
of street commissioner came up fol-
final passage, but failed to get thru,
the vote being a tie, Councilman
CARRIER being absent. There can
be no doubt but such an officer is
needed, and probably will be hired
as soon as arrangements can be
made to pay him. Councilman
Anderson voted against the ordi.
nance, but said that he would favor
it if the police force could be cut
