METHODIST SINGERS
PLAY IS B|o SUCCESS
The New Minister" Given by Local
Musicians, Draws Crowded House
-Characters Well Taken

A crowded house greeted the
musical comedy entitled, The New
Minister given by the members
of the Methodist Choral Union,
under the direction of Chorister R.
H. Briggs, at the Pavilion, Monday
evening.
F. A. Dunlap officiated as the
New Minister and did credit to
the part in his clerical attire, and
Miss Lora Miles, in the character of
leading lady, handled her part well.
Especially interesting were the parts
of the sexton, VIM. Schuster, who
read a poem of his own composition,
and also delighted the audience with
the song, when I shovel in the
Coal;" Delicia Perkins, played by
Miss Winters of Prosser; and Seth
Perkins, joke, by Tom Swayze,
who originated a number of good
hits" on some of Kennewick's
business men and city officials.
The numbers by the Members
of the Music Committee" the "Old
Maids Club" the Ladies Aid"
and the choruses by the entire COM
pany were all well sung. An eight
pi.oo orchestra added to the enjoy
ment of the evening by rendering
several good selections, and Miss
Lura Shanafelt proved competent
accompanist for the singers.
The climax showed the defeat of
the attempt of the Old Maids club
to win the affections of the new
minister, while Miss Lovejoy, the
new school teacher, is the lucky
lady.
Much credit should be given Mr..
Briggs, as the entire play showed
splendid training and careful. work
on the part of all. ~
Although not all tickets and re-
ceipts have yet been turned in, over
eighty dollars will be added to the
church treasury.

tions, and beautiful spectacles.
There are several scenes in which
hundreds of persons take part.

want to miss this production, and

IN LINE FOR COUNTY
DEBATING CHAMPIONSHIP
By Defeating Hover Last Week Local
Team is Entitled to Settle Finals
with Valley Heights

The debate in the county league
series, which was held last Friday
night in the assembly room of the
high school building, was very in
teresting. The opposing team from
Hover, was made up OF Pearl Evans,
Zilda Toothaker and Eugene Walk
er. They had the affirmative side
OF the question of woman's suffrage
and argued that woman had NOR
al, social and economic right to the
ballot, and that their use of it would
make for the betterment Of the race.
The Kennewick team on which
are Dora Williams, John Hamilton
and William Sly, met the conten-
tions of their opponents squarely.
and in a manner so convincing to
the judges that they made an unan-
imous decision in favor of Kenne.
wick. The Hoverites were good
spertsmen and took their defeat
cheerfully. j..
The judges were Superintendent
Kicks, Mr.. Dixon, debate coach;
and Miss Edna Walker, teacher of
home economics; all of Pasco.
This favorable decision puts Ken.
newick in the finals for the county
championship. The last debate of
the season will be held March 20,
against Valley Heights, who won
from Kiona. The place has not
been determined.

BARHAM GOES TO FRISCO

Wayne Barham, who got his early
base ball training on the Kennewick
sand lots, and who is now a pitcher
with major league prospects, will
play with San Francisco this year

was announced last fall. The Post
Intelligencer has the following to

FRUIT EXCANGE OPENS
FOR BUSINESS MONDAY
w. R. Crawford Chosen Secretary Of
New Marketing Organization
Collins Sales Manager

The Kennewick Fruit Exchange
will open for business at the old
stand of the Collins Company, next
Monday morning, March the Sec
ond. W. R. Crawford will have
charge of the local Office, acting in
the capacity of secretary. Mr..
Collins will have charge of the sales
end of the game.
The Exchange reports a cordial
reception from the Richland growers
this year. To handle the products
from that section the Exchange will
open a receiving station at Richland
and will make arrangements to have
the fruit hauled to Kennewick from
that point. Negotiations are now
under way for the installation of an
auto truck to handle the tonnage
that has been guaranteed.
Last year much of the Richland
produce was taken to Pasco, the
business men of that town provid-
ing free ferriage across the river.
Much of the expense of marketing
the Richland crop will be saved the
growers if the Exchange handles the
entire transportation problem from
this point.

EAST END IRRIGATION
DISTRICT STRIKES SNAG
Owners Of Private Pipe Line Want
Their Land Exempted-City May
Buy Present System

At the hearing on the proposed
irrigation system in the Garden
Tracts Tuesday night objections
were filed in such a manner as to
prevent final adoption of the plans
submitted by the city engineer. At
the present time certain of the prop
erty owners in that district own a
private pipe line from the canal to
their land. 1t is this phase of the
affair that makes it difficult for the
district to be created. Certain of
the owners propose to have the city
assume the ownership of the line.
Certain partners in the line refuse
to sell their interest in it.
Chas. Conway asked to have GER
tain parcels OF land within the pro-
posed district left out of the assess
ment rolls, as he is being served sat-
isfactorily by the line he now has
an interest in. G.. CARRIER also has
property situated the same, and Mr..
Conway thinks Mr.. CARRIER would
prefer to be left out of the costs of
the proposed improvement. How
ever, as Mr.. CARRIER is out of town,
the matter was turned over to the
original committees for a further
report.
The matter will come up again at
the next meeting of the council,
next Tuesday night.

RECOGNIZE KENNEWIcK
AS EARLIEST OF ALL

The supremacy OF Kennewick ON
the market as producer of fruit
and berries from two to three weeks
earlier than other northwest dis
tricts was the reason which has
brought about the establishment of
the buying house of the Pacific Fruit
d Produce Co. at this point. Lloyd
Garrettson, who has been the COM
pany's manager at their North Yak
ina house for many years, was here
the first of the week and completed
arrangements for opening the local
branch in time to handle the first
asparagus. The office will be located
in the old Fruit & Produce quarters
and it is understood that R. H.
Houston is to be the local represent
ative.
Mr.. Garrettson stated that in the
past the Pacific people had been able
to get all the carload stuff that they
could use, through their North Yak
ina house, but had been handicap
ped by the fact that the Yakima
products invariably came on the
market about two weeks after the
trade had been supplied from Ken
newick.
