OLD EAKIN BUILDING
DESTROYED BY FIRE
Front Street Land Mark Furnishes
Some Excitement for Quiet
Fourth

The Eakin building, one of the
land marks of the town, was totally
destroyed by fire the afternoon Of
the Fourth. The building had been
used as a rooming house for the
past three or four years, and a
couple of the dodgers who had
looked too longingly upon the wine
while it was red, are supposed
to be responsible for the fire, as the
blaze started in the room where the
two men had been put to sleep off
the effects of the intoxicants.
The loss is estimated at about
$4,000 and was covered by insur-
ance. The building was owned by
w. J. Eakin, of Seattle, one of the
early Sc ttlers of the valley, and was
insured for $500. The furnishing
belonged to F. H. Patten, who ran
the rooming house, and was insured
for 500.
Except few rolls Of bedding and
some grips, nothing whatever was
saved from the building. Mr.. Pat
ten was one of the first men to ar
rive at the fire, he having been ab-
sent at dinner when it started. He
managed to get the bedding and
grips out but sustained a rather
severe wound in the wrist while
breaking through window.
The fire department, owing to the
lack of water pressure, was unable
to do anything in the way of effect
i've fire fighting, though they ar
rived in plenty of time to have
done good work had they been pro-
perly equipped.
The building burned fiercely,
forced by brisk south wind, and
the flames came dangerously close
to the string of box cars standing
on the side track. The n. P. fire
train was brought over but the
building had burned before they
could be of much use.
The building was erected some
nine or ten years ago to provide a
meeting place for the young COM
munity and was used as a city hall,
opera house and general meeting
place for several years. Business
T, houses finally chose Second street
for the main thoroughfare and the
Eakin hall was remodeled into a
rooming house, which has had many
owners and a varied career since
the time when it was the principa'
building of the new town.

TENNIS HONORS
co To JOHNSON
Banker Best in Local Tournament
Singles-Doubles Won by
Johnson-Crosby

In the tournament at the courts
of the Tennis Club last Friday and
Sunday, LIE johnson demonstrated
to the youngsters of the club that
they have yet few things to learn
about welding a racquet and that
few gray hairs are no drawback
when it comes to activity and en-
durance in chasing the ball.
By steady, consistent and accur-
ate work Mr.. Johnson disposed of
his opponents withou, much trouble,
losing but one set in ten played.
His hardest match was with DIR.
Cole in the semi-fnals when he lost
the first set by 4-6 but won the
next two, GA, Ga.
Dave Williams, who had disposed
of Tweedt in the semi-fnals, was
Johnson's opponent in the final
match Of the tournament which was
played Monday evening, the high
wind of Sunday preventing the
match being played that evening.
Johnson won in three straight sets,
the score being 6-3, 6-2. ga.
In addition to capturing the
prize in the singles, Mr.. Johnson
and his partner, DR.. Crosby, won
the honors in the doubles, winning
seven out of eight sets and defeat
ing Trenbath and Mckinney in the
finals by GA, GA, 6-3.
The club plans to hold another
tournament on Labor Day, provid-
ing they do not decide to send
representation to Sunnyside at that
time. There are now twenty-one
names on the clubs roster and en-
thusiasm in the game is increasing.
1t is probable that another year will
see small club house erected and
shower baths installed.
The sets won and lost by each
player during the recent tourna-
ment are shown by the following

LOSES THREE
STRAIGHT TO PASCO
Locals Don't Get a Look-in for $50
Purse-One Game Won
by Umpire

Pasco won all three games in the
series played Friday, Saturday and
Sunday for the $50 purse given by
the Pasco celebration committee.
Fridays game was shut-out for
the locals, Pasco making all of her
runs in the first inning on single,
an error by the shortstop and a
couple of errors on the umpire's
part. The score: RH
Pasco 3 10000 OOOO-3 3
Ken. 0 600 5000 90 4
Saturdays game was chiefly re-
markable as the rankest exhibition
of deliberately unfair umpiring ever
seen in this section. Mayor Syl-
vester was the man behind the in
dicator and some of the decisions
he handed to Kennewick were a
scandal on the name of fair play.
Aside from the coarse work of his
jumps" the game was a good one
and was finally won by Pasco in the
last half of the ninth, when a single,
an error and a double put over the
winning run. The score: R H
Pasco 0 OO2 8 600 1-6 L.
Ken. l 0 O l 2 0 0 O-5 8
Sundays game was played in a
dust storm and was therefore any
thing but good exhibition of base
ball. Kennewick played the loosest
game of the season and found it
hard to locate the ball when hits
meant scores.
Pasco landed on Larkin hard and
often and their clouts seemed always
always to go where the felders
amt" With the score II to
against them Kennewick raised a
furry of interest in the seventh
when they got hits and two passes
from Seaman, scoring six runs.

MANY VISIT
FARM train
Hear Lectures and See Model
Farm Equipment, Fine
Stock and Poultry

Probably $50 of our farmers and
business men visited the farm dem
onstration train during its two-hour
stay at this place Monday forenoon
and no doubt all came away i'm
pressed by the scope of the exhibits
and pleased with the spirit and en-
thusiasm which was characteristic of
those in charge of each of the several
departments.
The train, which was under the
management jointly of the Northern
Pacific Ry. and the Washington
State College, consisted of six cars
and was in charge of w. J. Jordan,
general agent for the railroad, and
Prof. George Severyns, instructor
in agriculture at the college. Those
in charge of the several departments
were: Live Stock, G. F. Monroe;
Horticulture, O. M. Morris; Plant
Diseases. J. G.. Hall; Home Econom-
les, Mrs. A. B. Nystrom; Farm
Power and Cement Construction, l.
D. Charlton; Dairying, A. B. Nys-
from; Irrigation, S. 0. Jayne,
Poultry, Mrs. II. D. Whitaker;
and College Exhibit, J. L. Ashlock.
Indicating the trend of interest
locally among our farmers, the live
stock car received it's full share of
attention and was crowded most of
the time. Good and bad types of
dairy animals were shown and
some fine specimens of sheep and
hogs. In addition to the Berkshire
and Duroc Red, a specimen of a
breed of swine little known in this
locality was shown, called the Tam
worth, a long-legged bacon type'
which is said to be very hardy and
prolific.
Next in interest, perhaps, was the
exhibit of dairying utensils, while
the exhibits of concrete construction
for the farm, the model lighting
, plant and the poultry received their
full share of attention. The lady
visitors found much of interest in
the home economics department
while the exhibit of the work of the
college students was much admired
A passenger coach in the rear of
the train was used as a lecture room
and this was crowded by farmers
interested in the brief lectures which
were given by various of the de-
partment heads. Prof. Morris spoke
on Horticulture, Mr.. Jayne gave an
interesting talk on the proper and
economical uses of irrigation water
Prof. Nystrom told how to make
money from the dairy herd and gave
some excellent advice as to rations
and Mr.. Charlton advocated more
extensive use of concrete on the
farm, making the statement that
he knew of no other community
where concrete could be mixed al
as low cost as here in this valley.
The train left about 1915 much
to the regret of many who felt that
they could proftably have spent
several more hours among the ex.
hibits. On this present tour the
train will visit about twenty five
towns in the Walla Walla and Yak.
INA Valleys, starting at Dayton anc
going as far west as Ellensburp.
