This is not an advertisement. It's
plain, unvarnished token of apprecia-
ton. To our notion the Princess
Theatre is so far above the usual stand
ard in the movie" houses that there is
no comparison. Kennewick should be
proud of the work and time spent by
Mr.. Baker in putting his show and
house up to so high level. Instead of
approaching Mr.. Bakers efforts the
people Of this town even fail to patron
ize the theatre to any such extent as it
should be. The pictures shown are of
an unusually high class. The machine
and its operator are the best obtainable,
projecting picture that is a marvel of
clearness and steadiness. The curtain
in the new home of the Princess is a
solid wall, especially prepared for re-
f1ecting the views. Mr.. Baker has had
the curtain tinted blue, instead of the
usual gloss white. This innovation is
wonderfully restful to the eyes and the
lack of that flicker prevents any strain
after the evenings entertainment. In
the past month or so the writer has Wis.,
tied scores of movie houses, many of
them in cities many times the size of
Kennewick, and in not one single in
stance has show surpassed the one
Mr.. Baker gives at the Princess every
night. AS l said before, this is not an
advertisement. The ad will be found
in the advertising columns of this
paper, and will be we'll worth your
reading. Look it up now.

The evening session heard an i'm

of the Inland Empire by Wallace

the association, in his illustrated
lecture on Prospective Tariff and
Commerce of the Columbia River
Basin. " Mr.. Struble estimated the
natural resources of this section at
more than three to one as compared
with the New England and Atlantic
States, while our population at
present is less than one-twelfth that
of the Atlantic region. He said:
Given equal population and
equal development it becomes an
easy mathematical problem to esti-
mate the vastness of the prospective
commerce of the Pacific Northwest,
with the accompanying gigantic
enterprises of manufacturing and
the probable growth of world pow
erful cities. Here is room for a
New York, Chicago, a Philadel-
phia, a Boston, a Baltimore, Pitts
burg, a Cleveland, Cincinnati and
a multitude of lesser municipalities,
with all that their growth and de-
velopment imply"

IN APPRECIATION

To the People of Kennewick and
the Columbia River Valley:
The Third Annual Columbia
River Valley Grape Carnival was Or
gained by thee Interpreting citizens
of Kennewick and vicinity little
over sixty days prior to the dates
set for the exhibition of the choicest
fruits, vegetables, grasses and grains
that are produced in the wonderfully
rich and fertile valley of the mighty
Columbia. In that short space of
time there was gathered together an
array of varied products which, In
measure, represented the results
that are attainable by the combined
efforts ola thrifty, energetic, public
spirited community.
In the early inception of this un-
dertaking there was adopted the
slogan Everybody Helps" and
now that the carnival has become
matter OF history, the management
looks back over the brief period of
activity in establishment and pride
at the whole-souled energetic man
ner in which this slogan was re-
sponded to. This is very largely
accountable for whatever measure
of success was ultimately obtained.
Space and time will not permit
of special mention of all the loyal
and willing support that was vol
unteered for the good of the canse
and for which the management is
most deeply appreciative, and we
hope those whose names are omitted
will fully realize their individual
assistance was appreciated none the
less by reason of this fact.
To the queen contestants, under
the able management of the queen
COMMITTEES, there is due an unlimited
amount of credit, the result of which,
from financial standpoint, far ex-
ceeded the most saguine expecta-
tons of everyone.
DR.. L. G.. Spaulding and his
assisted physicians and attendants
had big job in attending to the
details of the Better Babies contest,
and their untiring efforts were re-
sponsible for making this feature OF
of the carnival such an interesting
success.
The fine arts and women's work
committee rendered invaluable ser
vice, and every lady on that COM
mittee, as well as the score of ladies
who VOLUNTEERED their willing assist
ance unoficially, are deserving OF
the highest commendation.
The ladies' rest room and child IS
nursery was contributed by the
Woman's Club, and was presided
over by Mrs. S. M. Henderson.
The carnival booth under the
management of A. H. Wheaton was,
as usual, a financial success and
has its part in making up the nee
esary finances of the institution.
C. l.. Kimble who reorganized
the Kennewick Band in less than
two weeks time is deserving of much

Travellers Aid AT Albany, Ga.

y, EllxhDeth Hukhehsslo haisf
A consciousness Of the importan-
e Of work in this department stea-
div increases. During one summer
month alone one hundred and nine
ty-fve individuals, sevtnty-three q
whom were girls and young women
came into personal touch with the
worker at the station, while the en-
tire numbes reached during the
quarter aggregated three hundred
and eighty-one. Thirty-two persons
women, girls, and children-were
accompanied to hotels or lodgings.
Thirteen lodgings and twenty-five
meals we're furnished at my own
rooms and eleven at the depot res
taurant to those who had long wait
overs between Trains, and who were
unable to pay for meal. The Sal
walton Army also provided five LODI
gings and six meals to persons ] di-
rected to them from the station.
Eleven peesons were aided in find
ing friends or selatives. When these
were girls or young women, ac-
companied them in person to those
whom they were seeking to find.
In one instance a girl Of eight,
travelling alone, was left in my hands
for the entire night. Nine girls, ira
yelling alone, were placed in the care
of conductors Of outgoing trains.
When girls travelling alone are go
ing out on either the 1 or $50 train
| remain with them until they are
safely aboard.
Once, and perhaps it was the
most important instance of this kind
a party Of four motherless children,
en- route to their father, near Lam
sing, Mich, came in at 500 p. m.
andto wait for the Seminole, going
north at $3.50 the next morning.
The eldest OF the children was a girl
of perhaps sixteen, inexperienced
and unsophisticated. The others
were much younger, and the entire
party were Of quite a dependent ma
turt. | not only waited with these
children through the long interval,
seeing them safely aboard their train
at the appointed hour, but gave the
conductor into whose hands placed
them definite information concern
Ing them, requesting that he in turn
pass this information on to success
siye conductors who should have
charge of the train between this
point and Chicago, the latter place
being the only point where a change
would be necessary. A word from
the girls received at an early date
assured me of their safe arrival at
home and told me of the ease with
which the change was made at Chi
cago
All this not only gives encourage
ment, but deepens the conviction
that our work at the station is well
worth while. Contributed by The
Methodist Missionary Society.
