PRECINCTS DIVIDED

The county commissioners have
divided the valley precinct into four
parts. The portion lying east of the
center of Section 7 will be known as
Kennewick Valley. All that west of
the center of Section Z, and east of
Section 3 will be known as South
Kennnwick; that lying west Of that
line, and south of the canal, will be
the Highland precinct. The portion
north of the canal, and west of town
will be known as the Kenpewick
Gardens.
The Richland precinct is also di-
vided into four parts. The city Of
Richland, constitutes one, others are
named Vale, Lower Yakima and
Horn Rapids.
A division has also been made in
North Prosser, the new precinct be-
ing known as Grove.

YOU MAY HAVE
THREE CUESSES
On the Significance of the North.
ern PaciGc's Activities on
the River Front

There's mystery afoot in rail-
road doings in Kennewick. The
Northern Pacific officials refuse to
tell what it all means and their
proceedings are left to conjecture.
A branch from the main line of
the N. P. has been surveyed to the
Kennewick docks. In Pasco rails
are laid along their abandoned right
of-way to the docks. Jas. Crowell
has the contract for putting in the
piling for the approaches on either
side of the river. Good authority
gives out that the N. P. has placed
orders for boilers and engines for a
two-hundred-ton boat to be de-
livered at Kennewick.
Now these actions might signify
actual work on one of several plans
about which there have lately been
rumors. 1t might mean that the
electric road that has been talked
Of for so long is going to be built
shortly. backed by the N. P. The
boat in that case would be for fer
riage, or 1t might mean the N. P.
is planning on using boat to handle
their up-river trade. It might mean
that the N. P. officials know of GER
tain development work pertaining
to the river that would make con-
troll Of the river approaches desirable.
1t might only signify that the
Northern Pacific is running a spur
to the docks in both towns. Any
way thestakesaresetand certain grad
ing machinery, of whom none seems
to claim ownership. is now ON the
ground, and it is evident that work
OF some sort or other is being
planned for this territory. Until
the officials see fit to give it out we II
let you put your own Interpretation
upon the matter.

The residence of J. E. Burmaster
on Yakima street was the scene of a
very pretty wedding Tuesday fore
noon, January Z, when their young
est daughter, Ella Laura, became
the bride of J. C. Willis of Richland.
The ceremony was performed by
Rev. G. D. Rarey. Miss Martha
Burmaster was bridesmaid and J.
O. Skirving best man. Only the
immediate friends and relatives were
present. The house was beautifully
decorated in pink and white carna-
tions.
Miss Burmaster attended the pub
lie schools in Richland where she
lived for six years, until last August
when the family came to Kenne-
wick to make their home. During
the short time Miss Burmaster has
been in Kennewick she has gained
many firm friends. Mr.. Willis is a
prominent young farmer of Rich
land, and is a graduate of the high
school and business college in Kal-
ispel, Mont, his former home. The
young couple left for Portland for
their honeymoon on the 1855 train.
They will be absent for ten days,
and will be at home on MIR. Willis

FARMERS TURN attention
TO MONEY-MAKINC P0RKER
Swine Breeders to Organize---R. E. Pratt Says
Local Conditions are Ideal---New
Company Being Promoted

Yes, sir, I believe that any
man who has ordinary ability, and
gets right in and makes a study of
hogs or cattle, can make big money
in this vallay. With proper care
twenty to twenty-five hogs can be
raised to the acre. But it must be
done right of course. The oppor-
tunities are here awaiting the ar
rival of the man who knows"
The Meadowbrook company will
not be alone in the business of swine
raising on a large scale if the plans
of w. J. Harter, of Hatton mater
ialize. Mr.. Harter has been in town
during the past week making the
preliminary arrangements for the
organization Of the Harter Live
stock Co.. a corporation which aims
to 60 into the hog-raising business
on a 4O-acre tract now owned by
Mr.. Harter ir Section 16, about
three miles southeast of town.
Mr.. Harter plans to incorporate
the company for $4,000, divided
into 48O shares at s25 each. He
hopes to place $4,000 of the stock
locally, $4,000 at Hatton and vicin-
ity and will retain $4,000 person.
ally.
Mr.. Harter says:
There is money in hogs. This
assertion is often made, yet few try
the experiment. Like all other
business it takes money to start and
start right. Many a farmer who
has few hogs will say, there is
more profit in the hog than in any,
thing else on the ranch Alfalfa is
one of the best and cheapest feeds
for hogs that can be raised, furnish
ing feed the year around.
"One acre of alfalfa will feed one
SOW and her increase and forty acres
will easily keep thirty sows. The
ordinary SOW will raise two litters
each year and from eight to ten pigs
each litter. If from a bunch of
thirty sows they average only ten
pigs each per year, which is an ex-
ceedlngly small average, this would
make 300 pigs. Before they are a
year old they will bring s15 each or
81, 800. After the land is once in
proper condition and the fences,
outbuildings and other improve
ments are made, the expense will
be small compared to the expense
of other business. There is no rea-
son why a 4O-acre ranch, properly
handled, should not net at least
50, 500.

new COUNCIL
TAKE SEATS
No Ceremony Marks Inauguration
Of City's Solons Mayor
Asks for City Park

The Inauguration of the Mayor and
the new members of the city coun-
Gil was of Jeffersonian simplicity.
Their oaths of office having been
previously signed the new members
took the places vacated by the out
going members and the board was
Immediately called to order.
The old body met for the last time
Tuesday night, Jan. 7, with Coun-
linen CARRIER, Fisher and Hayden
absent. But one action was taken
by the old board before adjourn
ment. They purchased sump boxes
for the draining of the city streets.
After adjournment Messrs. Sheppard, 4,
Annis and Reed retired ap-
parently tickled to get out. They
left the hall Immediately, after wish
ing the new members many happy"
evenings.
The new members of the city 5
governing board-Mr. Behrmann, of
the Garden Tracts, Mr.. Desgranges,
OF the second ward and Mr.. Hunt
ington, councilman at large, took
their places, Mr.. Anderson of the
first ward having been reelected.
In a short speech of welcome,
Mayor Lockerby briefly reviewed
the progress made during the past
year and the harmony that had pre-
vailed among the city's solons. He
hoped that the coming years work
would be marked by the same court
esy. He outlined the work done
in the past year on city improve
ment, the actual construction of the
sewer system, the installation of
street lights, the building of the
best system of sidewalks ever put
in, in a city near the size of Ken
newick; the grading, parking and
improving the streets, and the ex-
ceptional moral condition of the
city; and as a recommendation sug-
gested that the council continue the
work of improvement. He asked
that the new body take steps in the
near future toward the securing of
site for a city park, a recreation |
ground for the people. He also
stated that from talks with the COM
he was assured that every
time the city would build good
road to the city limits the county
would continue the work. He sug-
gested that the new council get i'm
mediate action on the securing of
the state highway, and in conjunc-
ton with the city of Pasco, work
toward the securing of a bridge
across the Columbia at this point.

meeting for the purpose of organ
;zing the Kennewick Valley Swine
BREEDERS Association has been called
for Saturday, Jan. IS, at two O'Clock
at the City Hall.
The need of such an association is
even now being felt. With more
and more Of our ranchers turning
their attention to this branch of
farming, the supply of porkers has
already exceeded the local demand
80 that concerted efforts toward
shipping in carload lots to the city
markets is now necessary.
The buying of feeds and supplies
in large quantities for local distribu-
ton is another Item in which an
association may save money for its
members, and in various other ways
haphazard methods and consequent
losses may be guarded against by
CO. operation.
The first carload of locally-raised
hogs ever shipped out of Kenne-
wick was sent to Portland Wednes-
day by R. E. Pratt of the Meadow
brook Farm and W. E. Campbell,
whose ranch adjoins the Meadow
} brook property.
In discussing the shipment and
also the movement for the organi-
zation of swine breeders associa-
ton, in which he is one of the
prime movers, Mr.. Pratt said:
ION the Meadowbrook Farm, so
far, we have been raising about
fifty good COWS and about a hum
dred and fifty hogs. | think that
there is more money in swine than
in cattle, according to the energy
expended, so we are going in for
hogs almost exclusively. We are
striving toward securing none but
the very best stock. And by the
way, we secured four fine gifts
! Tuesday from the Overbrook Farm
J in Miner, Idaho. They are deep
cherry red and are known as the
Little Wonder" strain. With
these new pigs we expect to bettet
our breed considerably, as they
are pedigreed stock.
The Kennewick Valley enjoys
the best climate and the feeds
raised here are the best for our
purpose that could be imagined.
According to the best authorities,
the ideal ration for either cattle or
swine is alfalfa with wheat for a
balance ration. The valley can
produce the alfalfa and the hills
the wheat. I'll put my hogs along
. side OF the best that Iowa can pro-
duce. Right now, if my hogs were
IN Iowa and were not actually los
ing flesh on account of the cold, I
would consider that | was doing
well. Here every porker is adding
at least two pounds to his heft every
day. 1t is our mild climate that
does it. Here the feed doesn't all
go toward keeping the beast warm
It's building fat-and a fat hog

- Now again, we have the very
best kind of markets on all sides

get the very best profit from rails

however, and am not worrying in
