CLUB MAKES PLANS FOR
MEMBERSHIP CAMPAIGN
New Officers Take Seats-President
Johnson Asks for More Ac-
tivity on Committees

That Kennewick will have big
ger, better and more active Com
cial Club during 1913 than ever be-
fore was the sentiment of last Tues
day nights meeting at which the
installation of the new officers took
place. Second Vice-president Des.
oranges called the meeting to order
with about twenty-five members
present and then yielded the chair
to President-elect L. E. johnson
who made a Straightforward, busi-
ness-like talk to the members.
The new president urged, among
other things, greater activity on the
part of the standing committees,
calling attention to the fact that
these constitute the very heart and
life of the club and that the useful
ness of the organization lies very
largely in the hands of those men,
hers appointed to serve on the COM
mittees.
Mr.. johnson also urged that the
deficit in the clubs treasury be
remedied at once and that means be
found to increase the monthly in
come sufficient to cover the running
expenses.
Mr.. Johnson's talk was followed
by brief addresses by Vice-presidents
Desgranges and Vibber, and Messrs.
Richardson, Stewart, Annis, Sly
and others, the sentiment of all the
speakers being that a campaign of
cooperation be instituted with a
view of bringing the club into closer
touch with the other city organiza-
tions, bringing in new members and

awakening a general interest in the
clubs welfare and activities. To
this end a special committee con-
sisting of G.. F. Richardson, E. M.
Sly and E. C. Trip, was appointed
to prepare a prospectus of the
clubs past activities and future aims
and to work with the membership
committee in securing new men,
bers among the business men.
Superintendent A. G. Kamm of
the O-W. r. & N. was present and
responded to a request for talk.
L. S. Grassland also spoke con-
corning the Benton County Crop
Improvement Association and asked
that the club unite with the Prosser
Commercial Club in endorsing and
standing surety for the financial end
of the movement to the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture so that the
work of the association might be
started at once and the agricultural
adviser, or county agent as he is to
be called, be hired for the coming
season. This matter was voted to
be turned over to the governing
board.

TRAINS TAKEN Off

The Northern Pacific announce
that until February 1st they will
discontinue the operation of the
following trains: No. 5 at 1918 D..
M, No. 6 at 4:45 a. m., No. 257
at 1887 p. M, and No. 25S at
1926 a. m. This move was made
necessary by the severe winter and
deep snow making traffic operations
extremely difficult on the noun
tain divisions. Until full service
is re- established, trains No. l and 2
will be operated as locals and will
stop at all stations.

to make proof on this project.

This is the Thirteenth Washing
ton legislature. 1t convened JAN
uary 13, 1918, with 139 members,
the sum of these digits equaling 13.
For the first time two women sit
in the legislative halls of the state.
These are DIR. N. Jolidan Croake,
an osteopathic practitioner of Ia
coma, and Mrs. Frances S. Axtell,
a prominent clubwoman of Belling-
ham. Both are progressives.
There are two socialists in the
legislature for the first time in the
history of the state. One is Peder
Jensen, elected to the senate as a
democrat, who later changed his
political beliefs. Representative
Kingery in the house, secured his
election by beating DR.. w. NJ. Beach,
the most hardshelled standpatter
who ever sat in the legislature.
Harry Van Horn, of Richland, is
here again to fill the position of
doorkeeper of the house of repre-
sentatives.
Women employees and women lob
byists are a feature of the legislative
life this year. Mrs. Rose McCros-
key was chosen postmaster of the
house, while the male candidate
for this position was made her as
sistant. Miss Elizabeth Boschke, OF
Spokane, was made postmaster OF
the senate, also with man for as
sistant. Both came from we'll
known East Side families, Mrs.
Boschke being the daughter of Judge
J. q. Moore, of Spokane, and Mrs.
McCroskey the only republican
member of the family bearing that
name, which has furnished Whit
comb county half its democratic
officials for a score of years.

Rowland voted for Howard D.
Taylor, republican, who was elected
speaker. Immediately the fight on
the house rules began and the Ben
ton county man again turned to the
progressives, voting in favor of their
plan for a committee on commit
tees.
WOULD BAR ROWLAND
Tuesday, at progressive caucus,
| a resolution was introduced propos-
ing to bar from all future sessions
of the progressives, Mr.. Rowland,
Representative Darling, another
man elected as republican who
had participated in the progressive
caucuses, and three men elected as
progressives who voted for Taylor.
These were Representatives Stevens,
of Spokane, Gilkey and Sweet of
Pierce county. 1t was declared that
the last named three had proved
traitors to their party, while Row
land and Darling were blamed for
participating in the caucus and then
voting for another man than the
caucus choice.
Before its passage the resolution
was amended so that it did not ap-
ply to Rowland and Darling. The
bull moose decided to hold out the
olive branch to these men because
they had supported the progressive
program otherwise and because it
was thought that since both were
! new members, an honest mistake
might have been made.
However, both the republicans
and bull moose are looking rather
askance at the Benton county man,
wondering in which reserve he real
ly belongs.
Mr.. Horrigan, of Franklin, voted
for Taylor. He was one of the first
men to sign up with last years
speaker. With three exceptions the
democrats all voted for the republi-
can candidate who was elected with
60 votes to Corkery's %.
AS the result of the democratic
votes going to Taylor, the progress
ives have declared war upon the
bourbon members. This fight may
extend also to Governor Ernest
Lister.
In the senate the result was the
same, Pliny L. Allen, republican,
being elected president pro temore
over r. A.. Hutchinson, progress
i've, by a combination of republican
and democratic votes. The follow
ing day, when Ernest Lister sent
personal emmisaries to ask the SEN
ate not to confirm the 80 recess ap-
pointments Of retiring Governor M.
E. Hay, the senate confirmed every
one. The progressives voted against
the democrats because, through
their previous combination with the
republicans, made possible the elec-
ton of Taylor and Allen.
Ernest Lister was inaugurated
governor Wednesday with simple
but imposing ceremonies. Olympia
contained larger crowds than ever
before in the history of the Oyster
City. Their number was estimated
conservatively at 5000.
Retiring Governor M. E. Hay
probably will go to Seattle to en-
gage in business instead of return
ing to Spokane, his home.
Ninety thousand dollars has been
appropriated for legislative expenses
as against an initial appropriation
of S75, 900 two years ago.
Senator D. A. Scott Wednesday
introduced a memorial asking con-
gress to pass the Borah bill appro-
priating s3O,OOO,OOO for the Pa
louse project.

same day introduced in the house a

AGREES TO
ADJOURN APRIL 10
Associated Press.

Associated Press
Denver, March 2e.-The senate
{ fixed the date for a sine die adjourn
ment at April 10 by adopting Helen
Ring Robinson's resolution. The
house will concur in the senate ac-
{ tion, but would prefer to adjourn
sooner
Senator Napier's headlight bill
was finally passed by the senate, and,
when signed by the governor. will be-
come law.
The house has passed Slatery' S
/ Panama Exposition appropriation
bill which provides for giving a
quarter of million dollars for a Col
orado building and exhibit at San
Franchises But few members seri-
ously feel that the appropriation will
ever be paid by the state, especially
wnen the state treasury is already
well depleted.
Governor Ammons has appointed
John b. Field of Denver to be state
engineer to succeed Charles w. Com
stock. The appointment was made
provisional, no certifications for the
position having been made by the
civil service. The governor took this
action prematureiy because of the
pending suit of Wyoming against
Colorado for the use of the waters of
the Laramie river, because he wants
Colorado's interests locked after by
a disinterested engineer.
The governor has issued a procla-
nation designating Friday, April is,
as Arbor and Bird day in Colorado.
He asks that all teachers and school
officials observe the day with appro-
pirate exercises, and by planting
trees and school gardens as well as
the general Identification of public
and private school grounds.
