ARTISAN HOTEL IS
DESTROYED BY FIRE
Carelessness of Roomers is
thought to be Cause-Ennis
May Rebuild this Year

Carelessness on the part of
roomers is thought to have been
responsible for the complete
destruction of the Artisan hotel
by fire early last Friday morn
ing. The fire started shortly
after three o'clock and was not
discovered until one end of the
second story was ablaze and the
flames were creeping down the
stairway. The alarm was given
and the fire department turned
out promptly but it was impos-
sible to save either the building
or it's contents.
The fire originated in one of
two second-foor rooms occupied
by three strangers who arose
before daylight to catch one of
the early morning trains. The
men were awakened by alarm
clock and Proprietor X. L. Nc
Clelland doesn't know exactly
the time they departed. He is
Of the opinion that a carelessly
dropped match or cigarette was
the cause of the fire.
The building and part of the
furniture was owned by T. j.
Ennis, whose loss is partially
covered by insurance. Mr.. En-
mis-, who is employed by the N.
P. l. company at flume No. 1,
has been in town since Satur-
day. He announced the first of
the week that he intended to
secure figures on a concrete
building to replace the old one
but is not yet certain whether
he will rebuild this year.

FATE OF RIVERS AND
HARBORS BILL DOUBTFUL
Unless Senate Passes Bill now Pend
ing all Improvement Work on
Columbia will Cease

Work on Cello canal will stop
tomorrow for lack Of money.
The cessation Of work means
that the hopes which the people
of the Columbia river country
have entertained for a navig-
able waterway from the ocean
to Priest Rapids and Lewiston
in 1915, have gone glimmering
unless the national rivers and
harbors bill now pending in the
senate is passed.
More than this hinges upon
the success or failure Of the bill.
If it fails, in a very short time
all government work, not al
ready suspended, on all rivers
and harbors Improvement in the
Columbia basin, will have to
stop for lack of money.
H. q e.r 80 :
The crisis has provoked a
storm of protest from all sec
tions of the Columbia basin and
the wires to Washington, D. c.,
have been kept hot during the
week with messages from the
commercial bodies from Astor-
ia to Lewiston. The climax of
the effort to prevail upon the
senate to pass the bill is ex-
pected at a mass meeting in
the rooms Of the Portland
Chamber Of commerce this eve
ming which will be attended by
representatives Of all commun-
tiles interested in the CONNER
cial welfare of the Columbia
basin. Kennewick will be rep
resented by M. M. Moulton, who
left for Portland this after
noon.
The matter was brought to
the attention of the local Com
mercial club at Wednesdays
luncheon. In a few minutes a
fund was raised to defray Mr..
Moulton's expenses and during
the afternoon a message was
wired to the senator's of Wash
ington, Oregon and Idaho urg-
ing them to give their unquali-
fled, uncompromising and ac-
tive support to the measure.
The bill which is in jeopardy
carries appropriations for Ore
gon, Washington and Idaho
projects totalling $6,018,475.
OF this amount $525, 900 is for
the completion of the Cello
canal; $4,000 for the improve
ment of the Columbia and trib-
utaries above Cello; $25,0O
for the Columbia between
Bridgeport and Kettle Falls;
$4,000 for the Snake river
$4,000 for the Columbia al
Cascades; 100000 for the
lower Columbia and Willamette
and$5, 100000 for improvement
at the mouth of the Columbia
All these expenditures have
been endorsed by army engin.

A COMPLIMENT
FROM HARRY

Harry Giovannoli who is ever true to
Danville pays the following compliment
to this popular couple.
Hon. Robert Harding, of Danville,
was in Lexington yesterday on legal
business. 1t was suggested to Mr..
Harding by Leader man that some of
the leaders in the Democratic party
were seriously discussing him as pos
sible nominee for Governor next year,
but Mr.. Harding was not apparently
inclined to unbosom himself on the
subject. He said he was busy working
for living just at present. Mr.. Har-
ding has always taken an interest in
politics. and has been frequently urged
to run fer Congress, but so far he has
escaped the entanglements of State
wide political activity. If he should
be nominated for Governor and his ex-
tremely lovable and popular wife should
accompany him on his speaking tours.
he would be a mighty hard man to
beat"

JUDGE HARDIN A
PRIME FAVORITE.

Judge Charles A. Hardin is a prime
favorIte, not only with the Democrats,
but with the Republicans. He is the
most popular man, the most available
man, the strongest man in every way
that the Democratic party could nomi-
nate for Circuit Judge in this district.
He is equipped by experience and
knowledge of affairs in a more varied
sense than most men; he has dispatched
arduous and difficult tasks in such a
way as to demonstrate his strength
with the voters of this district, and to
command the confidence and support of
mis- party. Frank and sincere, able
and honest in the practice of law, he
commands the respect of his colleagues
His democracy Is doubted by no man,
his honor is bright and if nominated he
will surely lead a united party.
