COLLINS STILL BOOSTING

The following appeared in a re-

of our former townsman. It was

written from different parts of the

EDITOR GOLFERS.
Sir:-I am a travelling man, from the
State of Washington, and / know posi-
lively that there are good chances for
the man with 81, 900, strong back and
the right kind of a wife, in my state
l would say to him: Get as near as
possible to good market, deliver your
products direct to the consumer, and
stop buying out of paper bags and cans.
There was never a time when the pro-
duction of food stuffs offered such pro-
fits as today.
Professors, doctors, office men and
those unframed in farming are making
good in the western country-after
they get started they make the best
kind of farmers.

OLYMPIA LETTER
Continued from first page


energies to see that the route of the
cross state trunk highway is located
so that it crosses the Columbia river
at Kennewick to Pasco. It is felt
that if this road can ever be defin-
itely located to pass through these
two cities, the state bridge will be
bound to be supplied eventually, il
not at this session. There has been
some talk of crossing the river with
the road at a point farther to the
southwest but the general opinion
is it must touch Pasco and Kenne-
wick.
MATTERS POLITICAL.
Considerable cessation in the hos
titles between the progressives and
the older parties has marked the
last ten days.
As the members are getting bet
ter acquainted the bull moose are
getting to realize that there is some
merit in the contentious of the old
party men and the latter, too, are
indicating a desire to treat the pro.
gressives right in many particulars
The one sharp fight came when
Representative House, progressive,
demanded an investigation of har.
Dor land matters after making sen.
sational charges of tide land thefts
This was voted down, republicans
voting against it, progressives fol
the investigation and the democrats
splitting.
On the other hand the first bill
placed on the house calendar was
the Wray lazy husband" bill,
much advocated during the com.
paign by progressives. 1t makes
wife desertion a gross misdemeanol
and provides for the payment of the
wife by receiving her husbands earn.
ings while he is being punished.
In the senate the first bill passed
was offered by a progressive, Sena-
ator Fairchild. It reduces the rate
of contractual interest from II to
10 per cent.
This bill was opposed strongly by
Senator Scott who charged that it
would make it hard for the farmers
of some of the newer communities
to obtain money with which to
operate.

LEANS AND FATS HAVE
A TITANIC STRUGGLE
Great Basket Ball Victory Goes to
Former by Score Of Il to g.
Fats Want Revenge

Last Friday nights game between
the Fats and Leans was a scream.
The game was prefaced by grand
parade, a wild burst of applause
greeting the contestants as they
made their appearance. Both teams
seemed to be in the pink of condi-
zion, the Fats having a shade the
better in the matter of color.
Referee Arnold Burmaster put the
ball in play promptly at eight o'clock
and Immediately sought safety in
flight. This undoubtedly saved his
life as these two natural enemies
were not to be thwarted by a mere
official in their desire to work havoc
upon each other. Round one was
hard and closely fought, the strug-
gle working from one end of the
field to the other with amazing
swiftness. The Leans, demonstrate
ing the inability of the Fats to re-
cover the ball when it was on the
floor, played rolling game entirely.
In order to overcome this disadvan-
tage Spike Terrell tried kicking the
ball and almost made a basket from
placement. Crosby put Wheaton
out for the count, and Johnson drew
color on Gardner. While this was
in progress Matchbox bowed grace
fully to the audience, heaved the
ball nightly over one shoulder and
made a basket. Here an armistice
was declared with the score stand
ing 8-8.
The superior condition of the
Leans began to tell during the Sec
ond period. Beste, thirsting for
satisfaction because of false accusa-
tions concerning one baby chair,
stretched to his full height and east
ly dropped the ball through the
basket. Immediately afterwards his
colleague ran the full length of the
floor for the second and final score
of round two. With this Referee
Burmaster reassumed his official
position and declared the Leans the
viotors of the contest. Final score:
Leans ~, Fats s. The lineup was
as follows. Weights given are ap-
proximate:
Fats-Crosby $50, center; John
son 225 and Matchbox $50, for
wards; Terrell 26O and Summers
265. guards.
Leans-Nichoson 1870, center;
Henderson 100 and Beste 1872, for
wards; Gardner 100 and Wheaton
SO, guards.
A CHALLENGE
We, the undersigned, do hereby
the Leans to a finish con-
test on any date to be arranged by
a committee for this purpose and
do hereby authorize the Courier to
publish said challenge.

HIGH SCHOOL BOYS LOSE
TO STRONG PROSSER FIVE
Locals Hold Visitors Even in First
Half but Weaken in
Second

Friday evening the high school
basket ball team met their old time
rivals from Prosser. For the first
time in the basket ball history of
the two schools, the visitors won on
the Kennewick floor. The boys
went into the game with the know
ledge that in order to win they must
play their best. Prosser has this
year the best team they have ever
put out and that means something.
The first half was the prettiest
exhibition of basket ball ever seen
on the Kennewick floor. For twenty
minutes neither side led by more
than two points and the period
ended a tie, 8-S. During this half
Kennewick threw two baskets and
four fouls while Prosser had to be
contented with one basket and six
fouls. This shows the strength of
the local guards. Their tendency
to foul, however, permitted Prosser
to tie the score as to foul was to
give the opponents a point with
Stewart not taking time to miss any
The change of baskets in the Sec
ond half seemed to help the visit
ors. Possibly the Kennewick guards
were over anxious. At any rate
Prosser made two baskets in as many
minutes and then it was all off.
When it was over they had rolled
in nine baskets and gathered three
fouls, making the score for the half,
Prosser 81, Kennewick 6. Final
score, Prosser 20, Kennewick IA.
Fumbles worked havoc with the
local team and inability to handle
passes quickly lost them several
baskets. The boys would rather
win from Prosser than any other
team in the valley. What might
have been does not count. Every
one played hard; the officials were
good; the visitors were gentlemen
off and on the floor; and the best
team won. Kennewick still leads
by one game. That helps some.
Stewart for Prosser threw three
baskets. His foul throwing was
spectacular. Kennett, forward,
Hamilton center and Lindin guard
threw two baskets each. Hough-
ton, who replaced Kennett in the
second half, threw one.
Barquist for the locals threw two
baskets and Carnahan one. Cope
land, who replaced Barquist, threw
one.
