An old local favorite who will
return to the ring at the next
Eagles smoker Is Harry Jewell,
the South Tacoma lad, who has
been away for some time. Dur
ing his absence, Harry has taken
on number of good men, and is
said to have made great strides
In the mitt game. Among those
whom he has hooked up with is
Sammy Good, and he is said to
have given Sammy the time of
his life.
Jewell will meet Steve Gard
ner of Minneapolis at the smoker
Thursday. Although Gardner is
not well known here he has O.
reputation for cleverness and
speed that denotes he is a good
man. Many fans expect this bout
to be the topliner of the evening.
There is much interest in the
Miller-O' Brien go, and a corking
battle is looked for If Miller is
as good as Seattleites claim he
is.
Mike Pete, the Wilkeson box
er, will have to go some to win
over Billy Wright of Illinois.
From4what has been seen of the
Eastern lightweight in previous
smokers, he is good enough to
tackle the best of the 133-pound-
ers in this section.

Dame elevens completed their
schedules unbeaten-and, in ad-

in every important game.
Although Camp decries the
lack of forward passing in the
east and points TO the Notre
Dame-Army game as an example
of how well-coached team using
the forward pass can handle a
team not well up in its use, he

game made Michigan a real foot

Camp points out that line ma

Florence Katherine Hewetson
was born in Valley City, North
Dakota, Jan. 20, 1902. For several
years she has lived in Kennewick,
where her keen mind, bright face
and winning ways won for her many
friends. Always rather delicate in
health, it has been feared for some
months that she had tuberculosis,
and last November she gave up her
work in school. A cold contracted
early in January confined her to her
bed, after which time her failure
was very rapid. Her death came
as great shock to many friends
who had not realized she was so ill.

BOTH YOUNG AND OLD"
Death Enters Two Homes During Past
Week and Calls Aged Citizen
and Little Girl
SAMPSON THOMAS HOLIDAY

Thomas Holiday, died at his
home east of this city last Friday,
Feb. 7, after about weeks illness
of ptomaine poisoning, aged "a
years. The funeral was held on
Sunday, with Rev. H. M. Bartlett
of St. Paul's Episcopal church
officiating. Interment was made
in Riverview Heights cemetery.
Sampson Thomas Holiday was
born at Dudley Hill, England,
September 81, 1889. when 21
years of age he came to the United
States and for one year resided in
New Jersey, afterward going to
Minnesota where he was engaged
in farming for many years. In
Feb, 1905. he changed his residence
to the Kennewick Valley where he
remained until the time of his death.
He was the father of two children
by his first marriage, one of whom
died in infancy and the other,
Chester Holiday, resides on the old
homestead in Minnesota. In June,
1895, he married Miss Louise Moul-
ton, of LIE Sueur, Minnesota, who
survives him. Mr.. Holiday was a
man of unquestioned integrity and
uprightness. In his, dealings with
his fellowmen. his measure was
always pressed down and overflow
ing. By his death the community
has lost an upright citizen and a
generous neighbor, and his family
a devoted husband and father.

IMPROVEMENTS AT ICE PLANT

The Twin City Ice & Cold Stor-
age Co. will shortly begin quite ex-
tensive additions to their plant.
Amoug the improvements coutem-
plated is the insulation of the room
on the east end of their plant.
This room will be made into two
story compartment, the upstairs
half to be used as storage room for
their grape juice tanks, and the
lower half for the storage of ice.
Later in the year they are
planning to build 3Ox4O addition
on the north side for the accommo-
dation of their growing grape juice
business. The Twin City grape
juice has met with such success
locally that the company is prepar-
ing to push its sale in the larger
cities and are confident that they
will be able to market it in big lots
within a year or two. Just now
the problem seems to be to secure
the grapes. Concords or similar
varieties are what are needed and
the local acreage of these kinds is
comparatively small.
The company will also install a
3O-h. p. electric motor during the
present month, keeping their pres
ent steam power plant merely as an

price OF the bridge across the Snake
river, connecting Lewiston, Idaho,
and Charleston, Wash. This bill
has been before the legislature for
several sessions but this is the first
time chances for its passage appear
bright. For eight years the bridge
has been operated on toll basis.
1t is hardly likely that any fur
ther bills for bridge appropriations
will be passed, but the Kennewick-
Pasco bridge comes next in the list
in point of seniority of claim for
favorable action by a succeeding
legislature.
PASS PENSION MEASURES
The senate saw the hardest fight
yet in that branch of the legislature
Tuesday when the teachers retire
ment fund measure was up. The
bill was passed but referendum
clause was added providing that it
must be approved by the voters gen.
orally at the next election before it
can take effect. Another amend
ment reduced the states portion of
the fund by lowering the assess
ment from 20 cents for each child
of school age, the original figure in
the bill, to 123 cents.
The house on the same day passed
the mothers pension bill almost
without debate and with only four
dissenting votes. This bill provides
that any destitute mother may Sc
cure aid to the extent of SIS per
month for one child and IS for each
additional child.
HALTs ROAD LEVY
Governor Lister has halted, for
the time at least, the effort to in
crease from one-half mill to one
and one-half mills the levy for
state roads.
In a statement issued Saturday
the governor intimated that he would
veto the bill if it came before him
bearing any such radical increase.
He stated such marked raise in
the amount appropriated would be
a detriment to the good roads cause
since it would be practically impos-
sible to effect Immediately the or
ganization that would be needed for
economical expenditure.

spent in hearing the report of the
committee on legislation as regards
bills nov pending at Olympia and
affecting this section. The prin-
cipal ones with which the club is
concerned are the Truax bill pro-
viding that residents of a given area
in one county may secede from that
county and join with a contiguous
county. The secretary was in
structed to forwad the clubs pro-
test against this measure to Repre-
sentative Rowland and to offer him
the services of a man or men to
work with him against the bill
should this be necessary to defeat
it. Our correspondent at Olympia
seems to think that the Truax bill
has been dehorned'' since being
amended SO as to require the sig
natures OF IS per cent of the voters
on the petition asking for county
boundary changes.
Of the various senatorial reap
portionment bills now before the
legislature, the club endorsed the
one submitted by Walker Moren, of
North Yakima. The bill places

land to get action on the appro-
priation for the Pasco-Kennewick
bridge and the location of the state
highways to cross the Columbia at
this point. While it is felt that
there is small chance to get the
bridge appropriation through at
this session, it is possible to do the
next best thing-secure the per-
manent route of the state highway
through these cities and perhaps
secure a small appropriation for
preliminary survey and soundings
for the bridge.

HOPE TO ADD MANY
TO CLUB MEMBERSHIP
Start Two Months Campaign for New
Members-Endorse the Efforts
Of Legislators

At last Tuesday nights meeting
the Commercial Club voted to open
two months campaign for new
members. The details of the cam
paign, which probably will be in
the form of contest, were left to
the membership committee to work
out. If conducted along the lines
of the membership contest OF two
years ago, the club will be divided
into two teams, with captains, the
losing side to set up feed for the
club at the close of the contest.
To make the work of securing
new members somewhat easier, it
was voted that the candidates may
have three months in which to pay
the five-dollar membership fee and
that they be allowed the privileges
of the club from the time their ap-
plication is received.
The report of the special COM
mittee appointed last month to ar
range a prospectus for the use of
the membership committee, was ac-
cepted, endorsed and the report was
ordered published in both local
papers, which will be done next
week.
A large part of the evening was

wednesday marked the beginning
:, the second half of the legislative
.sss;on. During the first thirty
d.,s nearly 700 bills were introduced
md lust four passed both houses
and received the governors sigma
turs. All were minor approprla
ton bills.
Duripg the last week among the
chief subjects of interest before the
leoislature have been the Wende-
Rowland bills intended to prevent
the use of the waters of the Klicki-
tot and White Salmon rivers for
! generating power to be used at Port
land, Ore.
Officers and attorneys OF every
bip power corporation in the state
have been to Olympia to fight the
hills, but Judge Carroll B. Graves
and Attorney George F. Vandeveer,
representing the Horse Heaven ir-
rigation project, have prepared a
complete substitute bill which, while
preventing the use of the Klickitat
and White Salmon water for Ore
gon power, will, it is claimed, not
interfere with Spokane and other
eastern Washington power COM
panies.
As originally drafted, the bills
would have stopped the Spokane
: Ninterurban electric trains at the Ida
ho line and would have prevented
the sale of Spokane power to Idaho
mines. These points have now
been smoothed out, however, the
bill will be recommended for pas
sage by the irrigation and arid lands
committee, of which Mr.. Rowland
is chairman, and there is a good
chance Of its enactment.
In some quarters it is felt the
bitter fight engendered over the
de-Rowland bills has endan-
gered the passage of the water code.
The senate and house committees
are both divided as to the merits OF
the new general water laws.
