BEACH ADDITION GETS
WATER MAINS

In response to an inquiry by the
city council as to when the Pacific
Power & Light Company would
have their water mains laid in tho
Beach addition, Mr.. Longmuir
stated that the actual work Of lay
ing the pipe would commence the
first Of the week. Two carloads Of
four and-six-inch iron pipe has
been strdng out in the streets for
the past six weeks but no further
work has been done. The work in
hand will give fire protection to
that portion Of the city as we'll as
aid materially in the convenience Of
the company's patrons. Several
hundred feet of four-inch mains
will be replaced with six-inch pipe,
while the smaller mains will be put
in new territory.
"A main will be run to the ware
house and mill, also, and a fire hy-
drant placed conveniently at hand
for their protection.

QUIETLY MARRIED

Miss Grace C. Richardson and
Archie c. Brown were married at
the home Of Rev H M Byrd in Pasco
Tuesday forenoon, September 18th.
The young couple stole a march
on their families and friends by
arising early Tuesday morning and
walking to Pasco. They left for
Tacoma on No. /, Tuesday noon
and will spend their honeymoon
there and at other points on the
coast.
The bride is the eldest daughter
OF Mrs. R. F. Richardson. For
several years she has been chief
operator at the office of the Kenne-
wick Valley Telephone company
where she has made hosts of friends
among the patrons of the company
as we'll as among the young people
of the city.
The groom was for several years
associated with his brother in the
ownership and management of the
telephone company, but for the
past several months has been pro-
prietor of the Pastime billiard room.
Many friends will join in wishing
Mr.. and Mrs. Brown that the sea
of matrimony upon which they
have embarked may never be
troubled or stormy.

0-W. R. & n. GIVES CUP

The O-W. r. & N. company has
put up a splendid silver loving cup
for an award at the Second Annual
Columbia Valley Grape Carnival.
Thru some oversight in the general
Offices the letters from the Secre-
tary were mislaid and, while both
the Northern Pacific and the Spo-
kane, Portland & Seattle roads had
made donations of cups. no word
was heard from the O-W. When
Superintendent Van Dewater was
in town the first of the month Agent
Thomas made few caustic re-
marks pertinent to the roads over
sight, The Superintendent imme-
diately got real busy, and so Tues
day morning Mr.. Thomas brought
the cup up town, placing it on ex-
hibition in Stewart & Reser's win
dow, along with the handsome cups
given by the S. P. & s. and the
Great Northern companies. It is
expected that there will be some
keen competition between the gro
wers for the possession of these
trophies.

PROPOSETOPA
MAIN SECTION
Council Talks Over the Improve
ment Of City's Principal
Streets

1t was proposed by Mr.. Sheppard
Tuesday night that the city's busi-
ness streets be covered with a per-
manent pavement. His proposition
covered Front and Second streets,
from Washington to State. and the
cross streets from Front to the alley
between Second and Third.
The wretched condition of the
streets at the present made it i'm
perative that some action be taken
at once. For economic and sani-
taty reasons it was considered best
by the council to make a perma-
nent improvement, and the start
was made toward its accomplish
ment.
It seemed to be the opinion of
the council that Mr.. Sheppard's
outline did not cover enough terri
tory-that the entire fire limits
should be included, as well as
Washington street to the ditch and
up Second street to the ditch. These
streets are the main travelled high
ways in this section of the county
and the improvements would work
wonders.
1t was pointed out that Washing
ton and Second streets would need
pavements but thirty six feet wide,
owing to the formation of the park
ing strips on each side of the road.
The cost for TIE work on roads of
this width, would, in the long run
be less than the maintenance of a
dirt road.
The action of the council in has
tening the road improvement is
meeting with the hearty approval
of farmers and business men alike,
and the work cannot be completed
too soon, is the general comment.

BLACK FOR GOVERNOR

Although ten days have elapsed
since the primary election. the
count Of the democratic ballots is
still incomplete. The vote on gov
ernor and lieutenant-governor will
be very close with the practical GER
tainty that Judge w. w. Black Of
Everett has received the nomination
for governor by about $40 majority
and that Lester P. Edge of Spokane
has beaten Harry Collier of Tacoma
for lieutanant- governor by about
the same margin.

TOUCH OF LAMP
CORD KILLS GIRL
nsuchter Of Richland Man Meets
Death in Unusual Manner
Inquest Blames No One


Allie Mardieze Fish, thirteen
vear.old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
David Fish, of Richland. was al
most instantly killed by. a shock
f,om an electric light wire last Sat-
urday noon.
The girl was assisting her mother
lin the preparation of the dinner
and had gone to the cellar to get
ran of fruit. She took the cellar
light, which was suspended by an
ordinary lamp cord, carried it
across the basement and turned it
on. Shortly afterward her mother
called to her and receiving no ans
wer went to investigate and found
the girl on her knees. unconscious.
and grasping the lamp cord. The
bulb had become disconnected and
!. Mrs. Fish testified at the inquest
that the current as it came from
the end of the cord made a pecu-
liar kissing sound.
The girl was taken upstairs, still
alive but unconscious, and a doctor
hurriedly summoned. The doctor
was unable to restore respiration
and death resulted within few
moments. Beyond a slight burn
on one hand and wrist the eiri's
body was uninjured.
Justice G. Staser of this city held
an inquest at Richladd Saturday
night with a jury Of six ladies. The
jury could secure no evidence that
the wiring in the house was faulty,
nor was it shown that the lighting
voltage throughout the town was
out Of the ordinary at the time of
the accident, 80 that their verdict
atsolves the power company from
blame.
The lighting service was turned
of at Richland on Saturday and
Sunday and a trouble search was
made by employees Of the company,
as it was thought that during the
high wind of Friday night and
Saturday the light wires might have
been crossed by the high voltage
power cables. Nothing of the kind
was discovered. nor was anything
found amiss by the transformer ex-
pert who was summoned from
Walla Walla and with Manager
Longmuir made a thorough investi-
cation of all apparatus that might
hyve flooded the light wires with
an extra high voltage.
Under ordinary circumstances
the low voltage carried by the light
wires is harmless and how the girl
could have received enough of a
shock to cause her death is still a
mystery.
The funeral was held at St.
Joseph's Catholic church at this
place Monday morning at 10
o'clock. Rev. Father Jones of Pasco

fore getting into action.
The big tent arrived Saturday
night and by Sunday night was
erected. Monday morning Thos.
McKain and his force of carpenters
got on the job and made quick and
thorough work of putting up the
platform, seats, booths and exhi-
bit banks. This work was followed
by Chief Decorator March and his
assistants, and the electricians who,
by Wednesday night had the car
penters' work covered by an artistic
draping of bunting and big arc
lights hung which light the huge
tent brilliantly.
Thursday noon the delegates from
the various commercial clubs COM
prising the Yakima Valley Fedora
ton arrived on the O-W. r. & N.
and were met at the station by the
band. At 2:3O the Federation held
its monthly meeting at the Com
mercial Hall, after which they were
taken on an auto tour of the valley
and Highlands.
Dinner was served by the ladies
of the Presbyterian church at the
church parlors at 6 O'Clock for the
visiting delegates and citizens, about
100 plates being laid.
The 'crowning''. event of the
day, Of course, was the coronation
ceremonies and ascension of Queen
Roumania I which took place at
$3.50. The coronation procession
formed at Front and Washington.
Scott Henderson was marshall of
of the day, then came the band,
then the royal float carrying the
Queen and retinue, then city Off
cials and citizens in automobiles.
Arriving at the tent the corona
ton ceremonies were celebrated with
all the pomp and splendor due this
auspicious event and was witnessed
by a large throng of Her Majesty's
loyal subjects. After the crown had
been properly fitted and the royal
proclamation read, Mrs. G. E. Han
son sang Hail to the Queen" and
the balance Of the evening was made
lively by confetti frolic interspersed
betimes with selections by the band.
Miss Ethel Tompkins. in her court
robes, looked every inch a queen,
whilethe following attendants helped
make the ceremony both beautiful
and impressive:
Maid of Honor Miss Georgia
Bower.

! Fork. Now, angry with baffled ambi-
ton, and a victim of her trickery.
there was no guessing to what ex-
tremes the desperate might resort.
The possibilities of such situation
made the slightest delay in rescue an
agony almost unbearable. Reaching
Carson City, and perfectly reckless as
to his own safety there from arrest,
the plainsman lost no time in perfect
ing arrangements for pushing for
ward. Horses and provisions were pro-
cured, and he very fortunately discov-
cred in town two cowboys belonging
to the Bar x" outfit, their work there
accomplished and about ready to re-
turn to the ranch on the Canadian,
who gladly allied themselves with his
party, looking forward to the posi-
bilities of fight with keen anticipa-
ton. Keith was more than ever de-
lighted with adding these to his outfit.
when, on the final arrival of the 9TH
ers, the extra man brought from Sher-
idan announced that he had had
enough, and was going to remain
there. No efforts made revealed any
knowledge of Hawley's presence in
Carson City; either he had not been
there, or else his friends were very
carefully concealing the fact. The ut
ter absence of any trace, however, led
Keith to believe that the gambler had
gone elsewhere-probably to Fort
Larned-for his new outfit, and this
belief left him more fully convinced
than ever of the fellows efforts to
conceal his trail.
The party escorting Waite reached
the town in the evening, and in the
following gray dawn the adventures
forded the river, and mounted on fresh
horses and fully equipped, headed
forth into the sand hills. The little
company now consisted of Keith, Fair
balm, who, in spite of his rotundity
of form had proven himself hard and
