RESPECTED CITIZEN
CLAIMED BY DEATH
Christ kruse, Pioneer Of Kennewick,
Passes Away after Months Illness
Was Former Councilman

Death has claimed one of the
pioneers of Kennewick. Christ
Kruse, who came here when the
town was in its infancy, succumbed
to cancer of the intestines, last Sun
day morning. at his home in the
Garden Tracts after an illness OF
less than a month.
Mr.. Kruse was prominent figure
in local affairs of the day, having
served two terms as member of
the city council. Perhaps no one
in the valley had done more toward
the settlement and building up OF
this community than Mr.. Kruse.
Not only was he satisfied with Ken
newick as a home place, but he in
duced his friends to come, and build
homes in which to spend the re-
mainder of their lives. His death
means severe loss to the commun-
ity in which he has made his home
for the past eight years.
Christ Kruse was born in Han
over, Germany, on July 25, 1912,
and came to this country when a
young man of twenty-four, settling
at Chicago, where he lived for twenty
years. In 1888 he moved to Sylvan
Grove, Kansas, where he resided
until 1905, then coming to Kenne-
wick. Mr.. Kruse was the father oi
nine children, five of whom. with
their mother survive him.
The funeral services were held at
the Bethlehem Lutheran church
Wednesday afternoon, Rev. Woke1
officiating. The business houses re-
mained closed during the funeral
hour as mark of respect to the de-
parted citizen. The body was
shipped Wednesday night to Sylvan
Grove for burial, Mrs. Kruse and
daughter Ida accompanying the re-
mains.

LECTURES ON ALASKA

w. w. Sawyer will give picture
lectures on Alaska in the gymnasium
of the high school building Friday
and Saturday nights of this week.
Mr.. Sawyer has just returned from
summer in Alaska during which
time he visited all parts of the terri
tory of interest both on the coast
and in the interior. He has what
is said to be the finest collection of
pictures of Alaska ever gathered
together, many of them being taken
by Curtis, the famous photographer
of Indian life and scenes. Some of
the pictures are less than three
weeks old, having been taken in the
famous newly-discovered Sushanna
district. They have all been colored
by former New York artist who
has spent the last fifteen years in
Alaska and consequently knows bis
subjects thoroughly.
The lecture the first evening will
deal with the coast and exterior
scenes generally. the second night
the interior views being shown.
Alaska Is new and little developed
territory and this collection of
pictures, over three hundred, will
give the best impression one could
get Of the country without person
al visit there. High School, Friday
and Saturday, 8 p. M, admission

LONG STEP IN C|TY'S PROGRESS
Creation Of Port District will Make Kennewick
Ready for Big River Business--Petition
Soon to be Circulated

The campaign for the establish
msnt of the Port of Kennewick will
soon be on in earnest. Following
the example of the Sound cities and
Astoria and Portland, Kennewick is
going to lose no time in preparing
for the big business which will de-
velop with the completion of the
Panama Canal and the opening of
the Columbia.
The preliminary arrangements for
the creation of the local port dis
trict have been in the hands of the
transportation committee of the
Commercial Club. At last Tues
day nights meeting M. M. Moul-
ton, chairman of that committee,
read the petition which had been
prepared as the first step in the
legal developments and gave an
outline of the more important re-
ouirements of the law under which
the port district must be created.
The first step is to secure on the
petition the signatures of 10 per
cent of the number of county voters
participating in the last general
election.
The signatures must include at
least 10 per cent of the voters
within the district to be created.
The petition sets forth the bound
aries of the district and asks that
the county commissioners call a
special election to be held within
sixty days, which election will de-
termine whether or not the creation
of the district is desired. At the
same election three port commits
sioners are to be chosen to conduct
the affairs of the district, serving
without compensation.
The area of the proposed district,
briefly described, takes in all of the
city OF Kennewick, extending two
miles west from Washington street
and east from Washington street to
the river. The north boundary is

STUDY PROBLEMS
OF SCHOOL LIFE
Parent I eacher Meeting to be Ad-
dressed by Leading Educator
Next Thursday Night

The first meeting of the Kenne-
wick Parent Teacher Association will
be held the evening of Thursday,
the 23rd, in the high school gym
nasium, beginning promptly at
eight O'Clock, and will be addressed
by N. D. Showalter, principal of
the State Normal school at Cheney.
Aside from Mr.. Showalter's address
an interesting program will be rem
dered, consisting of piano selections
by Miss Shier, songs from a semi
chorus from the high school, and
orchestra numbers by Mr.. Lincoln's
orchestra. All patrons and residents
of the district are cordially invited
to be present and avail themselves
OF the opportunity to hear Mr..
Showalter, who is one of the lead
ing educators of the northwest with
wide range of experience as coun-
try school teacher, high school
teacher, high school principal, city
superintendent, county superintend-
ent and principal of the leading
normal in the state. Mr.. Showalter
is ready and sincere speaker, thor
oughly acquainted with all prob
lens of child-life and parenthood,
and will not fail to have an inter-
esting message.
The Kennewick Parent Teacher
Association was organized last spring
with Mrs. L. w. Soth as president,
Mrs. J. L. johnson as vice. president,
Mrs. Gordon Taylor, secretary and
Mrs. Yost, treasurer. The COM
mittee in charge of programs con-
sists of Mrs. Sly, Mrs. Gray and
Mrs. Stewart. The organization
expects to affiliate with the State
Association. The movement has
for its primary object to bring into
closer relation the home and the
school to the end that the parent
and the teacher may cooperate in
telligently in the education of the
child. A thorough discussion of all
subjects related to the making of the
best moral conditions for child life
will be part of the years work,
and Mr.. Showalter's address may
be expected to deal with some of
the most important of these condi-
tions.
Mrs. Ella Flag Young, superin-
tendent of the Chicago schools, says
of the Parent Teacher movement
that it is the cornerstone for that
structure which will make the life
of the child, in the home and in
the school, unity, not life div
ided between two neutral, if not
hostile, camps"

A Queer Proceeding.

After being exonerated of all
charges OF Partially toward the
water users, John Bailey has been
removed by the government, from
the position Of water master
under the Boise project. One
charge was of negligence in CON
nection with the break IN the
Mora canal. While the Times is
not appraised Of the merits Of the
case, it seems strange that after he
is given a clean bill by the water
users, the government should step
in and order his discharge, as
Bailey was faithful officer and
was making good record under
trying circumstances.

DISTRICT NATIONAL
BANK SHARES MOVE
Consistent Purchaser Takes 78
Shares-Bump For WASH
ington Railway.

A total of seventy-eight shares of
District National Bank stock were sold
today at 1851 on the Washington Stock
Exchange, the purchaser being the same
broker who has been supporting the
stock at this figure for some weeks,
though he has occasionally sold small
lots at higher figures. The stock was
not sold in one block, but was cut up
into blocks of ten shares each, with two
sales of three shares each and one sale
of two shares.
Washington Railway and Electric
common was bumped by its friends to-
day, the same broker who had pushed
the price up by persistent bidding to
its recent high levels selling five shares
at IS and offering more at the same
figure There were no takers, so that
the bid and asked stood 1886 at the
close of trading.
Twenty shares Of the preferred sold
at SO, that price being bid for more,
with the stock offered at 80.
Capital Traction transactions were &C.
centric, three shares selling, one at
time, at u511, 115k, and 1151s. Quotation
lots were offered all through at 1l5As.
while 115 was bid for quotation lots.
Five shares of Continental Trust sold
at 116. One share of United States
Trust was offered at 1S1, with no

Uncle Henry Hurt expects to be the
recipient of fine hat tomorrow, and up
TO the closing of the stock exchange this
afternoon he could not figure out any
way by which he could be deprived OF
it. For, unless w. B. Hibbs offers Mr..
Hurt 100 shares of Capital Traction
common at 114%, and that offer is re-
fused by Mr.. Hurt, Mr.. Hibbs must pur-
chase Mr.. Hurt a hat, according to the
terms of wager made between the two
sixty days ago.
Since that time the price of Capital
Traction has dropped from 1161z to 115b,
offered prices in each case, but for many
weeks now Uncle Henry has been
calmly bidding lis for blocks Of the
stock, with 20 one Offering it to him at
that figure.
So he does not see how he can help
getting that hat tomorrow.
'I needed a new hat That's why
I made the bet" he explained today.

SENATORS IN FAVOR
OF j. s. BANK PLAN

The Senate Banking and Currency
Committee will make a report to the
Senate In favor of a great Federal re-
serve bank with branches to be owned
by the public and controlled absolutely
by the Government without the banks
having hand in II. This is the infor-
nation which came today from one of
the foremost members of the committee.
Officially the comittee has not ade
such a decision, but there are any in
dications that sentiment in the commit
tee Is veering in that direction.
This means that there will be a sharp
conflict in the Senate, and probably
whether the country. is to have a pub
licly owned and publicly controlled sys-
tenn with a single head, or whether 1t
will have regional bank system to be
owned by the banks themselves instead
Of the people.
President Wilson will stand by the
main features of the House bill. This
was made known at the White House
today. 1t is reported as a declaration
that he will oppose the Federal re-
serve bank plan. 1t was given out in
response to inquiries as to how the
President stood on the Vanderlip plan.
Whether the development of support
for a banking plan with a single central
head will delay report from the COM
mittee is not yet clear. 1t will probably
tend TO do so. III the committee reports
for the Federal reserve bank, as we'll
informed members of II predict, the
plan will ucommand powerful Senate
support. and it will be a clase question
whether the Administration can pre-
vent its passage in that body.
Frank J. Kent, of the Bankers Trust
Company, of New York, was before the
committee today on the subject of for
eign exchange.

the Administration currency bill. which
is also called the Glass-Owen bill, at
