SOCIALIST SPEAKER IS
GIVEN GOOD AUDIENCE
Growing Interest in WOrkingman's
Party is Shown in Attendance at
Lecture by State Organizer

The growing strength of the Soc
ialist party in this as in other Sec
tions was well illustrated by the at
tendance at the lecture given at the
Dreamland Pavilion, Wednesday
night, by the state organizer, S. L.
Boldly. Two years ago speaker of
this political faith could not secure
an audience in Kennewick of half
a dozen listeners. The subject of
the discourse was sentence from a
recent speech of President Taft's,
We must either 60 back to compe
tition or ahead to socialism,"
Mr.. Boldly stated that socialism
deals with the two classes only, the
capitalists and the laboring class,
and proved how their interests were
entirely opposite instead of mutual
as is maintained by the capitalistic
press.
The third or middle class, the
man with the small business, is be-
ing crowded into the ranks of the
workers by the big moneyed in
terests.
One point emphasized by the
speaker was that socialism does not
tend to the destruction of the high
ideals of morals established by the
church. Present economic condi-
tions make it impossible for religion
to be carried into business which is
based on a profit system. Mr..
Boldly believes that no one can live
up to the golden rule today because
of the rule of gold, and it is the
duty of every sincere Christian to
make the golden rule practical in
the business world and do away
with the Sunday religion

MRS. HAMILTON WINS
H0N0RS At SPELLING BEE
MIR. and Mrs. Nicewanger and Mrs. Car.
son also Shine at old fashioned Con-
test Given by woman 8 Club

After several days. diligent per-
usal of the spelling book dug out
from among the dusty relics of the
old school days, a good representa-
ton of the townspeople assembled
at the Commercial hall, Wednesday
evening to enjoy one of those spelling
bees so popular half century ago.
Miss Margaret Wetmore and DR..
F. NJ. Crosby were named as cap
tains and the two sides ''spelled
down" three times, at the end of
which Miss Wetmore's side won
through Mrs. Hamilton's ability to
juggle the letters of the alphabet in
the fashion approved by Webster.
Mrs. H. D. Nicewanger and Mrs.
Carson were also able leaders. H.
D. Nicewanger bids fair to become
an photographer of international
fame, provided Mrs. Hamilton stays
out of the race. He was the last to
meet defeat on DR.. Crosby's side.
After the battle of words was con-
cluded candy and popcorn were
served. A short program was en-
joyed which included a piano solo
by Miss Lura Shanafelt, solo by
Miss Eunice Orr, recitation by
Miss Marcella Gould and two selec.
tons by the male quartette rendered
by Messrs. Groom, VaDNorsdall, {,
Davis and Chipperfeld.

STOCK SELLS JEWELRY STORE

Louis F. Stock disposed of his
jewelry business this week to S.
VarCott, recently from the east,
who has taken possession. Mr..
VanCott's parents live in Seattle and
he has been looking over the north
west for the past two months, final
ly deciding upon Kennewick as the
location which looked best to him.
He has lately successfully taken the
examination at Spokane for the prac-
ice in optometry.
Mr.. Stock will leave Kennewick
shortly for visit to his former home
liz Pennsylvania, but plans to re-
turn here in the fall when he will
take up some less confining line of
work.

NEW SURVEY FOR
BENTON PROJECT
Northern Pacific Railway may be
Planning to Construct Big lrn-
CATION Plan

Is the Northern Pacific Railway
directing the new survey OF the
Benton irrigation project, and will
that corporation build the canal
which will add more than 10000
acres to the irrigable area in Benton
county?
That has been the much discussed
question of the day since party OF
surveyors started work from Prosser
last week. The engineering party
is in charge of William R. King Of
Portland, well-known consulting
engineer who has had charge of some
Of the largest irrigation projects in
the northwest. Mr.. King has filed
2OOO feet of water to be taken from
the Yakima river at Prosser, but
has refused to make any statement
concerning his action other than
that lie had secured the water as a
precautionary measure and was to
make a survey Of the Benton project
along the same general line as the old
Ledbetter ditch, to see if the project
was feasible.
The Benton unit has long been
recognized as the most feasible and
valuable of the unfinished irrigation
projects in the northwest, and its
completion has been recommended
to the reclamation service by the
board of army engineers. 1t is
considered doubtful, however, that
the government will have available
capital to build the canal for several
years; so the present survey, it is
generally agreed, can only be the
action Of the Northern Pacific which
owns practically half of the land
which would be watered.
The completion of this vast pro-
lect would be a boon to Benton
county and to Kennewick, the bene-
hts OF which can only be estimated.
1t would treble the present pop-
ulatlon of Benton county in two
years and to this city alone would
mean a developement so rapid that
our progress during the past few
years would sink into insignificance.

While the price at which the

FARM COURSE IN SCHOOLS

1t has been decided by the d.
rectors of the city schools, after a
consultation with the Commercial
Club, to engage the services of
horticultural expert to teach in the
schools next year and to conduct a
six-weeks course for farmers at
some time during the year. Sew

institute work in Montana may be
engaged. The course as planned
will take the pupil through four
years work.

UNEMPLOYED AFRICA.

More than 100000 square miles
of the continent of African elev-
enth of its total area-still remain
unexplored. About three-fourths of
the unknown country lies within the
desert of Sahara, but there are also
many fertile regions that have never
been visited by a European. The
largest stretch of unexplored country
near the seacoast is in Liberia, about
10000 square miles, all within 200
miles of the sea. The basin of the
upper Nile and the adjoining regions
of the Congo basin, Morocco, parts of
Abyssinia, Somaliland, British East
Africa, and many other districts,
have yet to be surveyed and mapped.
Ample opportunities still await the
pioneer and explorer in the dark con-
tinent.-Youth's Companion.

How Men Behaved Who saw Bonfire
Burning Holes IN the 40.
phalt Pavement

Some urchin had started O bonfire
Of rubbish in The street. A law-abid-
ing woman looked out Of the vim
dow, noted the night wind blowing
blazing fragments about, rcmem.
bored that fire burns holes in az
phalt pavement--and reached for
the telephone. She called up the
nearest fire station, reported the mat
ter and got the assurance that
man would be sent over at once to
put out the blaze. It was rather o
long distance, however, and while
she watched from the window for the
fireman she amused herself observ-
ing how the passcrsby regarded the
fire. Surely, she thought, some
body would stamp it out before the
fireman arrived.
An italian who had chestnut
brazier on the opposite corner
glanced over, lifted something from
his stand and crossed the street. The
woman was sorry she had called up
the department, since there was a
near-citizen who would quickly put
out the blaze. Tony swooped upon
it with the lid Of his chestnut brazier
and scooped up a bunch of glow
ing embers to augment his fuel A
moment later along came a we'll
dressed man carving an umbrella,
a large package and an evening pa
per. As he drew near the fire he
hesitated. He put down his parcel
and his evening paper, stood his UNI
brella against them and stepped
toward the fire. a good citizen! A
philosophical mani He bent down,
got hold Of a blazing stick, lighted
his cigar at the fame, gathered up
his property and passed on.
The the fireman hove into view,
carrying a galvanized iron pail,
which he filed at the nearest hy-
drant and with one well-directed
dash transformed the bonfire into
small heap of charred splinters.

GOING ~A-eooDlNe.-

Going "a-gooding" or "a-mump-
ing" on December 21 Est. Thomas
day. is still practiced by women and
boys in many districts. The idea is
to collect money or eatableS for
Christmas festivity, and sprigs OF
evergreen are left at houses where .
gift is received. This last custom
is thought to be derived from pagan
times, having been the practice of
the Druids to send their young dis
ciples round from home to home
with sprigs of mistletoe or holly as a
peace offering before the great winter
festival.

ed from the board of trade of the valley and the citizens in the shape of bonuses.
 mere was a partial report of the committee at a meeting of the lodge on Friday night when it was stated that there had been an informal offer of eighty acres of land though the location of it was not announced
 The matter was laid before Sec retary Welch of the board of trade who said that in the absence of the trustees he could make no definite reply but he believed that the board would be as liberal in it's treatment of this movement as it had been to- ward earlier ones
 It is understood that the grand lodge of the state will offer an at tractiVe bonus. It is the purpose of the supreme lodge to appoint commission to investigate the diff ferent sites that may be offered. The committee will take into considera- tion not only their adaptability but also the inducements that are offered by the respective communities.

FRATERNAL BROTHERHOOD

The meeting of the Brotherhood last Saturday evening was well attended. and every member seemed to realize the great responsibility of protecting ihe banner Although four new ap piications were read. and a number of members have their eyes on several prospective candidates, the feeling is not so high as a number of the more enthusiastic members would have it, and the general opinion is that a visit by the state manager, Anna E. Bourne, IS very much needed a: this time. Miss Bourne has genuine spirit of frater Dalism that seems to stimulate and e. vive the love for lodge work wherever sine goes, and it is that divine spirit fllat is needed dovI: here in the Mari cOpa lodge for the benefit of a few who seem to fear the heat, and have taken a place in the shade. The greater number of the members Of Maricopa lodge are certainly not shade hunters. and before the present campaign is over it is hoped that those lovers of shade and cool breezes, will have ventured far enough into the sunshine to induce their best friend to join the ranks.
 The secretary has been authorized to construct a letter containing many val uable ideas on how to secure the mem- bership of worthy young men, and q tip as to what constitutes a worthy young man. Every member should be armed with such knowledge before entering the field.
 MT. B. J. Heyne, Mrs. Petra Ekre. Clifford Duclow and George Huunicutt lad the pleasure of trip down the bump the bumps" into the mysteries of the second degree. Mrs. Grace Wolf was given the work of the first degree, and breathessly awaits the coming of the second.
 Last Tuesday morning the charm ing and dopular musician of the Bro therhood Miss Edith Stephens, and MT. Earl Wiatt took the solemn oath and was initiated into the mysteries of the greatest fraternity on earth-a mar riage.

An Effort Is to Be Made to Secure National Institu tion Costing Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars for the Valley

J. F. Cleveland and J H Lang ston representatives from the grand lodge, Knights of Pythias of this state left last night to attend the supreme lodge which will convene at Denver tomorrow. They will be joined by Harry A. Drachman of Tucson supreme inner guard.
 The representatives have a much greater interest in this meeting of the supreme lodge than in any previ- ous one for the question of locating national sanitarium of the order will be settled at this session to the extent of leaving the matter in the hands of a committee of the su- preme lodge
 This matter has been under con sideration by the supreme lodge for now that it was fully determined to establish sanitarium at d cost Of several hundred thousand dollars. It has been estimated that it win cost SS0.000 a year to maintain it.
 Arizona members of the order who have discussed the subject ever since it became acute have agreed to work for it's location somewhere in the valley and MT. Drachman though a resident of Tucson and without any interest in the valley says that he is willing to sacrifice his supreme lodge ambitions, if necessary. to se- cure it for this valley.
 Resolutions relative to the mat ter have been before the three lodges of the county and a committee has been appointed to ascertain what en- couragement, if any. could be secur-

The Knights of Pythias are soon to have a home for crippled and aged knights. which will also be used as a national hospital for the order.
 A circular received by Phoenix lodge states that a home will be built that will cost seventy five thousand dollars to maintain for one year. and that no less than forty acres of ground will be considered as d build ing site.
 Members of Phoenix lodge are do- ing everything possible to induce the grand lodge to build here in the val ley. They have offered to give forty acres for the building site. and are willing to allow a small financial con- sderation
 J. H. Langston and J. F. Cleveland left Saturday evening for Denver to attend the convention which convenes August 9th. They are prepared to make a keen fight for the interests of all Arizona.
