Hamill, Baker and Dunlap tried
hard to open the question of new

Hughes had announced that a motion
to adjourn was in order, but owing to
the steam roller methods employed by
the president their three votes were
lost.
Before the vote was taken, how
ever, President Hughes, during dis

through the efforts of the Industrial

dustrial Association had made enc
mics of the south side of the city by
ignoring them when the organization
of the association was first made ana
that it would take a great deal OF
time and work in which the south
side would have sufficient recognition
in the association before anything
could be accomplished there.
Mr.. Dunlap took exception to the
remarks of Mr.. Woolley about the
south side having been ignored and
told Ct the organization of that body,
declaring that the south side Of the
city had had opportunity of selecting
their own men had they wished to
do so. The matter was dropped with

Visiting Nurse Committee.

Mrs. Winona Evans Reeves, Miss
Nettie Younker and Miss Emma
Habenicht, the latter the Keokuk WIS.,
iting nurse, appeared before the board
and asked that body to give, Miss
Habenicht authority, to go into the
public schools, upon the request of
the superintendent or principal, and
examine children for tubercular trou-
BILE, adenoids, defective vision and
communicable diseases
Miss Habenicht talked to the board
for several minutes, telling of her
work here and of the need for such
work in the public schools and held
the close attention of the board. At
ter she had finished the board took
the matter up and decided that hei
request should be granted with the
remuneration to be adjusted later.
Caps and Gowns for Seniors.
The matter of caps and gowns for
the senior graduation exercises was
then taken up and samples, received
by superintendent Aldrich shown to
the board, together with the price list
he had received from the makers. The
board finally, after half hours dis
cussion which seemed more like a
sewing circle than a board meeting,
decided to rent the caps and gowns
for the seniors. The costumes will
be gray in color with the regulation
mortar board cap of the same color.

An order of the post Office depart

raises the weight limit on parcel
post packages from II to 20pounds.
It also reduces very materially the
postal charges on packages mailed
for local delivery or for delivery at
points with the first or 5O.mile zone
and the second or 15O-mile zone.
The rate for local" delivery ap-
plies to packages to be delivered by
R. F. D. carriers or by city carriers.
The department has found that a
very large percentage of parcel bus
iness is done within the first and
second zones and for this reason the
new ruling which creates the local
rate and makes the rates within the
first and second zones identical
should prove popular one.
The following is the schedule:

INSURANCE INSPECTOR
MAKES Recommendations
Says When Water Pressure Question i
Disposed Of City's Protection will
be Efficient

According to c. A. Maury, of
Seattle, who has been here this
week in the interests of the state
fire underwriters, Kennewick's fire
protection conditions are no more
to be criticized than those in the
average city of this size and no IN
crease in the local insurance rates
need be expected.
Mr.. Maury appeared before the
city council Tuesday night and
while making several suggestions
toward the betterment of conditions,
he stated that the city's system OF
fire protection will be an efficient
one as soon as the Pacific Power &
Light company have completed the
installation of their new pumps.
The power company's new pumping
equipment will deliver 125 pound
pressure at the pumps and IS at
the hose nozzle, sufficient to throw
165 gallons per minute to height
of about IS feet.
| Mr.. Maury's suggestions as to a
fire alarm were that bell be pur.
chased and mounted on a tower al
least Is feet in height. He recon-
mended the bell alarm as being the
simplest, most efficient and cheapest.
His other suggestions were that
care be taken to keep the chemical
engine charged at all times, that
rubbish be not allowed to accumu.
late in the alleys and about the bus.
mess places and that where gasolene
is handled in broken packages, the
supply be kept in an underground
tank.

Several Mixed Cars Going Out Daily
Late Peaches will be Large
Expect Seventy-6ve Cars

Although the Elberta peach sea-
son is not fairly under way as yet,
fruit shipments from Kennewick
during the past ten days have been
the heaviest in the towns history
and by the end of this week prob
ably thirty-five cars will have been
shipped. The warehouses of the
Chas. H. Collins Co., and the Fruit
growers Association are humming
with action every afternoon when
the fruit-laden rigs from all sections
of the valley and Highlands begin
to arrive in an almost unbroken
stream, and loading operations con-
tinue far into the night.
The Collins company report the
shipment Of twenty-five full cars
this week and last, which include
three straight cars of pears, the
balance being made up of mixed
cars of peaches, grapes, prunes,
melons and potatoes. In addition
to the carload shipments the Local
express shipments have been run.
ming very heavy. Last Wednesday
night the Collins company shipped
more than 10000 pounds of various
fruits on No. AZ alone.
The Association has been getting
out an average of a carload every
other day and is making up Cal
of straight peaches today. Practi.
cally all fruit from here is being
sold in Montana, Idaho and Dakota
points.
An early season estimate on the
Elberta crop which will be marketed
here was IS cars. This estimate is
now being raised, as it is certain
that the fruit will be of extra large
size. Picking will be on in earnest
in nearly all orchards Monday
The few Elbertas which have come
in so far have been small and greer
and have been bringing from 40 tt
so cents.

mate, of North Yakima, recon-
mending that Kennewick join with
other cities in hiring special coun-
Gil to conduct their case before the
public service commission in the
matter of the P. P. & L. Co. rates,
was laid on the table. Mr.. Shu-
mates plan was to retain Harry E.
Wilson, of Seattle, former. member
of the commission, and have him
conduct the case, working in con-
junction with the various city ell
gineers and attorneys. Manager
Longmuir of the P. P & l.. Co. was
present and advised the council
against taking such action, saying
that the services of a special at
torney would be an unnecessary ex-
pense.
Twenty catch basin covers were
ordered purchased. These catch
basins are to be installed on Front,
Second, Third and Kennewick ave-
nue. to give gutter connections with

9th, September 3rd and September
18th, respectively, for which there
are being prepared specially arranged
ballot tickets which provide voting
coupon designating a specific num-
ber of votes for the purchasers
candidate. One ticket which will
be good for the first two occasions,
viz: August 9th, ,and September 3,

votes, while another ticket good for
either single event will be sold for
s1.00 and will carry value of 800
votes.

on the date of September 18th,
very unique and attractive program
has been arranged which will pro-
vide free admission and an oppor-
tunity for all present to enjoy the
thrills and merriment which this

declared Princesses, to be in attend
ance upon the Queen, all of whom
will be Kennewick's honored guests
during the Carnival.
Tickets for the Queens dance
series will be placed in the hands
of the candidates for advance sale.
ss will also the official Carnival
buttons, which arrived yesterday,
and as the proceeds derived from
the sale of both tickets and buttons
will be used exclusively in financing

exemplifed by the liberal patronage
of those who are solicited by the
various candidates in the sale of
both tickets and buttons.
For the convenience of those
wishing to place a candidate in
nomination the following coupon is
provided, although, in the absence
of a coupon, any form on either
post card or letter will be accepted.
