TO TALK ROADS
Meeting Saturday Evening of
This Week Promises to be of
Practical Benefit

An illustrated lecture on good roads
will be given in the Commercial club
rooms Saturday evening of this week
by experts from the government Good
Roads Bureau.
This lecture will be based upon data
secured by T. Warren Allen, chief Of
National Parks and Forest Roads, who
visited Kennewick recently. The pur-
pose of Mr.. Aliens visit was to get
first hand information as to the cli-
matte conditions, soil formations and
road building material in the district
so the lecture can be made to fit local
conditions. For this reason Saturdays
meeting is looked forward to with
more than ordinary interest by men,
bers of the Commercial club and others
interested in good road building.
The local lecture is one Of series
which the government experts are CIV
ing through the eastrn part of the
state, beginning Friday evening at
Walla Walla and ending Saturday Of
next week at N orth Yakima.
No admission fee will be charged
for this lecture and a large attend
ance is desired.

Ed. WARD RESIGNS
AS COMMISSIONER
Second District Member of the
County Board Succeeded by
Alex Mcneil of PrOsser

Last Friday afternoon after the
annual county budget had been adopt
ed and the smoke Of battle had lifted
from one of the most strenuous ses-
sions ever held by Benton county's
commissioners, E. j. Ward sprung q
new sensation by rendering his 'resig-
nation as commissioner from the Sc
cond district.
The resignation was promptly ac-
cepted and the remaining two men,
bers named Alex Mcneil, Of Prosser,
to serve the unexpired term. The new
commissioner is not unknown to the
people of the county nor stranger
to county politics. He is recognized
as one of the county's most active
democrats and has served two terms
as sheriff.
Mr.. Ward, who was serving his
second term as commissioners made
public no reasons for his resignation.
Commissioner F. L. Bash, Of Hanford,
said upon his return from the county
seat that Mr.. Wards action was not
the result of any dissention among
the board members, on the contrary
the three commissioners have always
worked together in absolute harmony
Mr.. Ward has accepted q position
as road supervisor in his district

YEARS WORK BEGUN
BY WOMAN'S CLUB
Interesting Report of Federation
Meeting Given at First Ses-
sion of the Season.

The initial meeting of the Kenne-
wick Womanis club, held Oct. 8, at
the Commercial Hotel, renewed the
activities of the club women for this
season.
About sixty women attended and
after the business routine listened to
an able and stirring address by the
president, Mrs. Grant Stewart. This
being Federation Day" Mrs. Stewart
pictured many interesting scenes from
the meetings held in Spokane last
spring and reflected the inspiration
gained from able and enthusiastic
associations.
The Federation of 17S clubs with
membership of $4,000 women, in
terested in civic betterment, child well
fare, library extension, etc., gives
an added force to such efforts by the
individual club, and YIELDS the work
of the women in the state Of Wash
ington into a great uplifting force.
The practical side Of the work was
touched upon and in Kennewick was
planned and carried out by Mrs.
Stewart in selling fruit at the Grape
Carnival. Kennewick women were
enabled by this means to contribute
to the endowment fund and feel q
part of this body Of statewide work
ers.
The meeting closed after a number
of plans were made for continuing the
clubs interest in the welfare of the
community. The next meeting will
be on the second Friday in November
at the Commercial club rooms. The
literary department will have charge
of the program.

ONE CONTEST At
CITY PRIMARIES
With Exception Of the City At
tOrney There are No Two
Applications for Same Job

So far as surface indications are
concerned Kennewick's city election
will be as devoid of excitement as a
pink tea on July afternoon. With
the exception Of the Office of city
attorney, which will be contested by
City Attorney C. B. Hamlet and F.
R. Jeffrey, the filings which closed
Saturday evening furnish no inter-
esting features. L. E. johnson, who
since the municipality was incorpor-
ated has occupied the mayors chair
for four terms, has again filed for the
office. Mr.. Johnson became candi-
date under protest and only at the
earnest solicitation of a number of
the business men who pressed their
demands in the form of signed pc
tirion.
There is but one applicant for each
of the four councilmanic jobs and none
of the retiring councilmen are seeking
reelection. H. A. Bier, who has seen
service at the council table both as
councilman and mayor, has filed for
councilman at large. S. r. Harper,
Geo. Tweedt and Geo. Egbert are can
didates from the first, second and
third wards respectively.
Charley Haas, who retires as coun-
Gilman at large, filed from the first
ward, but later withdrew. City Clerk
Mrs. M. E. Soth and Treasurer j. l..
johnson are candidates for re-elect-
tion to their respective Offices.
According to new law governing
elections in cities Of the third, class,
passed by the last legislature, the
ward councilmen this year are to be
elected for three years instead of two.
Next year the ward candidates will
be chosen for four-year terms and all
other officials for two years and there
after city elections will be held every
two years instead Of annually.

ENCOURAGING REPORT
MONTANA CO.'S PLANT
Stamp Mill is Running Regularly and
Sweepings Pay the Operat-
ing Expenses

There were some new rejoicings
this week at the head Office of the
Montana Gold Mining company in this
city, when President D. L. Taylor re-
ceived message from Supt. w. v.
Looney to the effect that the mine
near Mazuma is showing up better
than ever.
Mr.. Looney says the stamp mill is
now running daily and that although
no cleanup will be made before the
first of next month the daily sweep
ings from the plates are more than
sufficient to pay the operating ex-
penses of the plant.
President Taylor is enthusiastic
over the report and expects some big
returns in the near future.

New Tax Rate for Property In
side Corporate Limits Shows
Increase of 5K Mills
COUNTY GENERAL BIGGER
BY ALMOST TWO MILLS
County Commissioners Prune Budget
Some But Not as Severely as
Tax League Requested

Although the county commissioners
applied the knife to some of the items
in the annual tax budget they refused
the prune according to the instructions
of the tax league and the final draft
of the budget adopted Friday after
noon is not materially different from
the published estimates.
The biggest reductions were made
in the general road and bridge and
district No. road funds. The general
fund was reduced from $4,000 to $780,
S17.24 and the district fund from $40,-
900 to $24,171.02. Twenty-Five hum
dred dollars We're Topped off the cur
rent expense fund.
Chairman j. B. Clements of the
board was appointed purchasing agent
for the county and after January /,
1916 all supplies and materials for
county use will be purchased by him
upon acquisitions from the different
departments. The tax leagues recon-
mendation that all items for the pur-
chase of supplies be stricken from the
budget and lump sum of $500 be
allowed the purchasing agent, was
turned down. The leagues attempt
to have the county purchase the pro-
perty on which the county Jail is To-
Gated likewise fell by the wayside.
Although there is reduction of one
mill in the state levy, taxes in all
parts Of Benton county, except in the
towns of Prosser and Richland, will
be larger this year than last, the in
crease being due to bigger levies for
road building purposes. A compari-
son of this years total with last in
the cities of Kennewick, Prosser and
Richland follows:
Kennewick ...34.54 mills 1000 mills
Prosser .... .34.80 mills 32.18 mills
Richland ....34.14 mills 34.07 mills
Kennewick's total levy of 40 mills
includes the Port Of Kennewick levy
of 1.88 mills. The levy for territory
in the Kennewick, Prosser and Rich
land school districts but outside the
corporate limits Of the towns follows:
1914 1915
Kennewick 1886 mills 2S.12 mills
Prosser ..... .21.83 mills 23.18 mills
Richland .... .26.56 mills 27.07 mills
Kennewick's levy of 28.12 mills does
not include the port district levy
which will apply to some of the ter
ritory outside the city limits.

JOHN ENGELBERT
KILLED BY TRAIN
Laborer is Run Down by O-W.
Passenger Near the Western
Limits of the City

John Engelbert, a laborer who has
made his home in Kennewick for eight
or nine years, was run down and kill
ed by an O-W. passenger train near
the western limits of the city yester-
day noon. The body was taken to the
Mueller undertaking parlors where it
is still held to await word from the
dead mans only known relative, a
brother living at Fairbanks, Iowa.
1t is the opinion of those most in
timately acquainted with Engelbert
that the fatal accident resulted from
his becoming temporarily unbalanced
mentally. For nearly two weeks he
has been i'll of lagrippe and under a
physicians care. He left his little
shack near the city Jail yesterday
shortly after eleven o'clock and was
walking along the railroad tracks the
other side of the cut where the O-W.
crosses under the N. p, when the
noon westbound passenger bore down
upon him. The engineer blew his
whistle several times but the blasts
were unheeded by the man ahead,
He was knocked from the track and
died about two hours later from in
juries to the spine and skull.
Engelbert was about go years of
age and unmarried. He came to Ken
newick when the s., p. & S. railroad
was building through here.

CAUGHT
At TOPPEN|sA
Four Men Suspected of Having
Blown Lumber Company's
Safe Now in Jail

Four of the hardest looking individ-
uals that have graced the interior Of
the county Jail in many months were
lodged in Sheriff Murphy's steel hos
telry last night following an exciting
chase at Toppenish, says Tuesdays
Yakima Republic. When taken into
custody by. Deputy Sheriff John Ed
wards and members of the Toppenish
police department, the men were all
heavily armed and had in their posses
sion quantity of tools used by safe
crackers.
The suspects gave their names as
Dick Murry, George Barry, George
Drysdall and George Ward. When ap-
preached by the officers at Toppenish
the men ran, but were overhauled at
ter short chase and landed in Jail.
Sheriff Murphy was at once notified
and a posse was sent from this city
under the leadership of Ralph Bailey
to bring the prisoners to North Yaki-
ma. Upon their arrival here none of
the quartet would talk.
In the arrest of the four suspects,
Sheriff Murphy is confident that he
has the yeggmen who wrecked safe
in Kennewick lumber company's of
flee October and who later blew the
safe at Herod's store at Zillah Octo-
Der 8, obtaining 1925. A watch taken
from the Kennewick safe was found
on one of the prisoners.
A letter written by Murray to a
confederate in Seattle indicates that
the former is a member Of an organ
lied gang of safe blowers that has
been operating out of the metropolis
for six months past. Sheriff Matthews
of Montesano, is Of the opinion that
the men under arrest here were i'm
plicated in the robbery Of the N. p.
depot at Montesano about three weeks
ago.

RACE QUESTION
BRINGS A WARM
SESSION IN the
FRENCH CHAMBER

Paris, July s.-G,o5 P. M).-The race
question raised recently in the French
chamber Of deputies by the bill of the
Negro deputy NJ. Diagne, providing for
the extension of general compulsory mil
itary service in France to colonial nu-
inequalities, was presented in numerous
Der this afternoon.
The minister of war and the military
committee of the chamber approved the
general provisions of the Diagne bill.
This action was Immediately attacked
difficulties arising from the presence in
the French army of soldiers unable to
speak French and of different religion
and social customs. The deputy also
raised the question of confusion in the
payment of pensions to the widows of
polygamous Senegalese
The speaker frequently was interrupted
by protests from the Negro deputies.
Deputy La Grosilliere cried amid fractic
applause: Our fellow citizens ask only
to be allowed to serve the mother coun-
try. for whom they already have poured
out their blood"
Paul Deschanel. president Of the
Chamber. was forced to quell the tu-
mutt by declaring that the entire
Chamber felt the same respect and
the same love for all whatever their
race or religion who are ghting under
the folds of the tri-colored flag"
Deputy Labroue insisted on special
regiments for Senegalese who do not
speak French. Deputy Boisneuf inter-
rupted crying Il then demand a spe-
cial regiment for French soldiers un-
able to read and write.''
Deputy Diagne then secured the
floor and made an eloquent appeal on
behalf Of blacks. Deputy Diagne said
that widows of soldiers ought to re-
ceive pensions even when there are
several, but he added:
Native soldiers are not as rich as
the average French soldier who is al
so poor and therefore only has one
wife. Polgamy is a luxury of wealth.
The bill was passed without change
