COUNCIL MEETING
IS PLACID AFFAIR
Our Reporter More Interested in
View from Window than in
Doings Of City Dads

The view from the windows of the
city council chamber is inspiring
at night. A visitor may be lucky
enough to get one of the arm chairs,
stick his feet up on the window sill,
after getting his pipe nicely lighted
and enjoy the mysteries of big
city after dark. Last Tuesday night
the scene was particularly good.
The high water in the river reflected
the lights spread out over the desert
on the Pasco side and the switch
engines moving back and forth lent
a variety to the scene. And while
we are speaking of the engines, we
cannot fail to mention those on
this side. Perhaps we should be a
bit tolerant of them here, under
standing that it was in the effort to
move our berry crop that caused
all the racket.
Continually during the meeting of
the city fathers those new alarms
put IN by the N. P. tankled and
tangled, making an uproar that
nearly drowned out the drone of the
city clerk. Every other minute a
train would come shrieking around
the curve and all sounds would be
lost in the mighty rush. But that
isn't what we started out to tell
about. AS we said before the view
from the windows is one that can
hardly be surpassed.
Gazing down one can get lovely
birds-eye view of the back entrance
to one Lung Sans chop house and
the bull pen of the Hamilton COM
pany. The jagged piles of second
hand stuff piled in the back yards
are softened by the darkness of the
June night, and the figures of the
scurrying Cinnamon silho u cited
against the lights lent an Oriental
touch to the scene. The music of
the June bugs and mosquitoes soothed
the nerves of the reporters who are
peeved because the council does
nothing that might be served up
under the guise of news.
The session was late in starting,
owing to the fact that Councilman
Huntington was still selling beans
when the hour struck for the open
ing of the meeting. Mayor Kolb
was unable to be present, owing to
sickness in his family; Fisher was
out of town, Anderson indisposed.
But the rest of them finally arrived.
Desgranges came with hair and tenn
per ruffled up after a big day in the
berry patch, and misery in his leg.
Senator CARRIER was one of the first
to arrive, and he deferred lighting
his cheroot until the city clerk
began to call the roll.
After the city attorney had hung
up his cane and Councilman Hay
don carefully laid aside his new
sailor hat, the council gave the O-W.
their franchise for a spur track. The
usual wad Of bills were allowed and
the various committees made excuses
for not having reports. The motion
! made to adjourn was the only
one during the evening that had
any life to it.

PLAY CONNELL SUNDAY

The game with Connell on the

make any of them hustle. The

2:3O to enable the visitors to catch
No. 4 for home.

With the end of the strawberry
season now in sight the returns
rould indicate that both the yield
and the average price received will
ho far in advance of the early sea-
son estimate. On May 1st it was
animated that the crop would total
% 900 from the Kennewick and
Ricbland districts and would bring
$4,000. On Wednesday night the
associations shipments had reached
15.345 crates and the shipments OF
tho commission houses and indie
nondents should bring the total
above the 10000 mark though the
shipments other than through the
association can only be approx
mated.
The end Of this week will practi-
cally see the end of the shipments
Of first class berries, but it is safe to
saw that before shipments stop
$4,000 crates will have been mark
eted. The strength OF the market
has been a source of delight to the
growers and a wonder to those who
have conducted the selling end.
The price ranged from s4.OO to
$3.50 the first week Of heavy ship
ping, and this week from $500 to
s4.OO was paid until Wednesday
forenoon when the market dropped
under Sc. 90 for the first time since
the season opened. Dealers say
that the seasons average price will
be close to $3.55, which is $1.25
higher than last year and the best
in the history of this district.
1t is safe to say that 5000 more
crates of fine berries would have
been marketed had the hot weather
held off for another week, and at
least $4,000 more would have
gone into the pockets of the grow
ers. As it is, the crop will bring
from 5000 to $4,000.
With barely enough pickers and
packers in the fields to handle the
crop during the cool days of last
week. the growers were up against

The skirt is cut in four pieces. The

Fashion Notes of Interest

A 7 an eaily afternoon occasion Of
"A the week was met a costume
directly from across the sea.
The material was white ribbed silk
combined with old red and. both in
color and in treatment. it serves to
exemplify many important features.
The skirt was one Of the very
simple ones so much affected this
season with apparently no seams but
with finished edges overlapped at the
front. Down these front edges and
around the lower edge was band Of
the red silk, wider at the bottom and
narrowing as it approached she belt
and the skirt was held with gathers at
the waist There was fascinating
little bodice Of white wolfe. tucked
and finished with a rolling, hem
stitched collar and over this bodice
was worn a little belted ooatee Of the
red silk, open at the front to reveal
the white bodice and Of perfectly plain
finish that allowed Of slipping under
the collar Of white wolfe. II was cut
with the elongated shoulder line which
is so generally liked and at this point
we're attached long olose-htting
sleeves. White frills fell over the hands
and a soft sash of red silk was wound
around the waist to be finished with
loops and ends at the left side. Every
thing blouses this season and this soft
little coat falls over the sash in what
once would have been called negligee
style but to be soft and graceful and
pretty. At the front Of the blouse was
a little box plat at the center Of which
was a row Of tiny red silk buttons and
a small pump bow of the red silk fin

and not a few Of these costumes are
showing founcings OF the light flmy
shadow lace that seems so especially
adapted TO summer needs.
Il Is limited that lace wells will be
much worn this season. but the hand

somewhat trying. and the tulle that
envelops the figure makes the better
choice. Arrangements this season are
low and r. the head closely with
punches Of orange blossoms holding
the draped tulle in place.
The dress Of chiffon and lace shows
one Of the newest draped TUNES over
simple two piece skirt. The bodice is
finished with the fashionable Medici
collar. The simple shadow lace is
essentially girlish in effect and especi-
ally well adapted to the brides
attendant while il also will be found
available for a great many summer
occasions, for dinners and dances and
all occasions Of the kind. II would
hardly be possible TO find any model
better suited to the beautiful bordered
fabrics for which the season is remark
able, and bordered wolfe, bordered
tulle or any thin material Of the kind
can be used quite as well a. the lace;
indeed, many OF the embroidered
voiles and marquisette are so dainty
and attractive that they make almost
as pretty an effect as the lace itsell

quisite. Never was there richel

tive toilettes with little labor. fol

sisted of Tam crown of white silk

ming Of old red velvet. ribbon passed
closely around the crown and finished
with a fiat bow and outstanding
fantasy. Where the edges Of the skirt
overlapped at the front. they were
slightly shorter than at the back and
sides and the pretty curved line made
rather an important feature Of the
costume. There were worn pumps,
almost as a matter Of course, and
silk hose but not even glimpse OF
the ankle was revealed.
THE. little coates grow more and
more beautiful every week and
more varied but, almost uni
formly. they are made with kimono
sleeves or with the elongated shoulder
line which gives much the same effect.
To be fashionable. everything must be
loose and dropping and the kimono
model is a favoritc. Il is always
graceful, always pretty and dress
makers have learned TO handle it
with perfect success. The little coatee
idea extends itself into the various
hours of the day and fascinating little
garments are worn as part Of evening

sions while great many Of the pref
