III. L. Wilson, of Walla Walla, to
Make Improvement for 3Sc
Per Square Yard
COUNTY ROLLER AND
OILER NOT AVAILABLE
Contractor Will Use Own Machines
and City to Pay Freight To and
From Walla Walla

H. L. Wilson, president of the
III. L. Wilson Construction COM
pany, of Walla Walla, is in the
city this afternoon for the pur-
pose of closing a contract with
the city for the improvement of
Second street from Washington
street to Pacific avenue. At the
time of going to press Mr.. Viii
son and the public improvement
committee of the city council
had agreed upon the terms of
a contract and the necessary pa
pers were being prepared by City
Attorney Hamlet.
Mr.. Wilson agrees to do the
work at 38 cents per square yard
work at 38 cents per square yard
or the same figure named in the
bid, which was rejected by the
council. Inasmuch as it will be
impossible to get the use of the
county's steam roller and oil
sprinkler until Mr.. Morain has
finished the Kennewick-Fin
state highway, Mr.. Wilson is to
furnish his own roller and
sprinkler and the city will pay
the freight on the two machines
to and from Walla Walla. This
will increase the cost of the i'm
provement to about $2,700.
Mr.. Wilson expects to begin
work next week and unless de-
layed by bad weather will have
the job completed by the first of
May.

the venerable admiral of the cele-
bration fleet.
The parade in Pasco promises
to be hummer. DR.. Fewell has
organized and is daily drilling a
large marching club of Pasco
business men, and the Kenne-
wick committee is busy with
plans to have this city represent
ed by five or six hundred people,
all the automobiles in town, and
several community floats. The
progress of the parade, as will
the wedding and the barbecue,
will be caught by the cameras Of
three of the big moving picture
companies and will be shown all
over the country in the motion
picture weeklies.
In order that the crowds may
be transferred quickly from one
town to the other, the committee
has chartered the ferry for the
entire day, with the understand
ing that it is to carry anybody
at any time free of charge. Sup
erintendent Tyler, of the N. p.
has assured the committee that
his company will put on what
ever special train service may be
necessary to accommodate the
travel between the two towns.
Last nights meeting was held
in the dining room Of the Gun
ingham where the Kennewick
men were dinner guests of the
Pasco committeeman. The best
of good feeling prevailed and ev-
cry man was enthusiastic for
making the celebration a grand
success in every particular.

Walla Walla and Yakima

Representative Grant Stewart,

D. M. Williams of the Kennewick
Auto club are in Walla Walla to-

The purpose of the meeting is
to give publicity to the automo-
bile route through Washington

North Yakima and to offset the
effect Of the recent advertising
matter which carried the inn
preston that the best auto route
across the state was via the Sun
set highway from Spokane to
Wenatchee.
Two automobile loads of dele.
gates to the meeting passed thru
Kennewick enroute to Walla
Walla from North Yakima.

NATHAN THAYER's
WILL IS UPHELD
Judge Linn Decides Case against
Relatives who Brought
Contest Proceedings

The will of the late Nathan
Thayer, in which he bequeathed
all his property to DR.. Mary Hud-
son, of this city, was held to be
valid by Judge Bert Linn in the
superior court last Friday. The
contest case which was institut-
ed by Caleb Thayer, VIM. Thayer
and Laura Thayer, brother,
nephew and niece of the testator,
and in which a score or more of
witnesses were called and sew
eral depositions introduced, oc-
cupied the attention Of the court
from Wednesday morning until
late Friday night.
The relatives sought to break
the will upon the grounds that
DR.. Hudson exerted undue in
fluence over Mr.. Thayer and that
the legacy did not come as a
free and voluntary act of the
testator. In upholding the will
however, Judge Linn held that
the contestants had failed to in
troduce evidence to prove that
Mr.. Thayer was of unsound mind
at the time he executed the will
and that as long as he had no di-
rect heirs nor dependents he had
the legal right to dispose of his
property in what manner he saw
fit.
Mr.. Thayer had not been close
ly associated with his relatives
and at the time Of his death had
not seen the brother who sought
to secure part Of the estate, for
25 years.
1t is probable that no appeal
will be taken from Judge Linn's
decision.

STALLION CASE DECIDED
AGAINST LOCAL MEN
Supreme Court UphoIds Verdict
of Lower Court in Long
Drawn out Case

Litigation, which was the out
growth of local business trans
action of nine years ago and
which has been pending in the
courts of the state since 1912
was disposed of this week when
the supreme court handed down
an opinion confirming the YER
dict of the superior court jury in
the case of T. D. Mclaughlin VS..
]. H. Dopps, Sylvester & Rose
man, Geo. F. Richardson, Fred
Cresswell, D. F. Cresswell, C. N.
Cornelius, O. r. Adkisson, w. j.
Rand, c. I. Irwin and J. F. Irwin.
The case grew out of the sale
of a stallion by the Palo Alto
Stock farm to the above defend
ants, April 8, 1906. The defend
ants refused payment for the
horse upon the grounds that the
purchase was made through
fraudulent representations of the
company's agent and that the
horse was no good.
The case was tried in the SUI
perior court in November, 1913,
and upon direction of Judge
Ralph Kaufman, of Ellensburg,
the jury returned a verdict in
favor of the plaintiff and judg-
ment was rendered against the
defendants for S1606 and costs.
In February of last year an ap-
peal was taken which resulted
this week in the supreme courts
upholding the verdict of the low
er court.
Leonard & Driscoll, of Pasco,
represented the plaintiff and M.
M. Moulton, of this city, handled
the case for the defendants.

'O.W. R. 8 \. OFFERS
LAND FOR GARDENERS
Deserving Families Given Priv
ilege of Farming Rights of
WY and Unused Land

Officials of the O-W. r. & N.
have arranged to give to the un-
employed heads of families liv-
ing along their main lines and
branches in Oregon, Washington
and Idaho the free use of COM
pany land, unoccupied for other
purposes, so that they may con-
vert it into gardens.
The products are to be used
either for consumption by the in
dividuals who grow them or FOR
sale on the market. In extreme
cases the company will furnish
worthy families the seed with
which to plant their gardens and
will ask nothing in return.
The plan will-apply to all parts
of the system wherever the COM
pany has vacant property. 1t is
estimated that thousands of
acres can be converted into prac-
tical use this way.
Local Agent j. B. Thomas re-
ceived official notice of the plan
this afternoon in the following
telegram from Superintendent
A. G. Kamm: Canvass situa-
tion as to unoccupied or unused
property as well as outside pro-
perty, with a view to getting it
under cultivation by deserving
employees or other needy or de-
serving persons.
Reasonable care in selection
will be necessary to know that
property will be used for pur-
pose intended. In the case of de-
serving people not having means
to provide seed, notice should be
given. Consideration will be
given such cases and seed will be
furnished by the company. The
matter should be canvassed
among our own men who may be
out of service and with municipal
and county officials.
'The matter is important and
should receive prompt attention
as the growing season is now on.
If anything is to be accomplished
it must be done shortly. Let me
hear from you as soon as pos
sible."

plans for Commemorating Cello
Opening May Fourth Con-
tinue to Grow
pASCO AND KENNEWICK
TO WORK TOGETHER
u.ry New Features Added and Cost
win Be Double Original Estimate
Start Early and Quit Late

The joint celebration to be
staged by Kennewick and Pasco
on May 4, in commemorating
the opening Of the Cello canal,
which at the start was to require
hut q few hours and cost but
s40O has grown and grown until
now it is a regular affair which
win begin early in the morning
and continue until late at night
and cost the two towns just
double the original estimate.
The celebration cost w "a $
'swhooped" last night in Pasco
at q meeting attended by the ex-
ecutive committees of the two
towns and the chairmen Of the
various subcommittee. The
features, the expense of which
are to be borne jointly by the two
towns are the wedding of the
Columbia and Snake rivers, the
barbecue, free transportation
across the river, the publicity,
the entertainment of the distin-
guished visitors, and the music.
The end, however, is not yet.
as these features are to cOnsti-
tute only part of the days fes-
tivities. Pasco is to foot the bill
for the big moring parade across
the river and a banquet and a
grand ball in the evening, while
Kennewick is to dig up for the
attractions to entertain the big
crowds during the afternoon af-
ter the boats have steamed down
the river. 1t has been agreed
that Kennewick is to have a free
hand in the afternoon and Pasco
at night. In order that there may
be no conflicting attractions the
Pasco committee will endeavor
70 close every business house
during the afternoon and bring
the whole town over to this side.
IN return, the Kennewick COM
mittee will strive to return the
compliment in the evening.
1t was the unanimous opinion
ol the committeeman who met
last night that CAS- long as we
are going to celebrate, let's cele-
Orate right" The biggest item
OF Joint expense will be for the
barbecue, the itemized estimate
Of that committee calling for
1850 to finance the big feed. This
estlmate contemplates the pre-
paratlon of about 5000 sand
wlches with coffee and pickles on
the side.
Sune event which was not in
clsded in the first outline of the
uays program is the allegorical
Wedding of Miss Columbia to Mr..
anake. This is to be the big fea-
eure Of the celebration. Kenne-
VIC, WICK has been requested to fur
nlsn the bride and the bride
sloom will be supplied by Lewis
0on. Every town from Spokane
raa Walla Walla to Ellensburg
~ oe invited to send a BRIDES
mad and a best man and the
~eodlng party will probably be
Tue rue largest ever assembled in the
~ ana Empire. The nuptials will
- solemnized on the Kennewick
s.ue immediately after the Pasco
paiaoe and the knot will be tied

nsa,, uvernor Lister, or some other
osaole' while the bride will be

earnestly to the men of the class,
urging those who are not church
members to ally themselves with the

Mrs. Little emphasized the fact
that one cannot be good and live
for himself alone, but on the con-
Strary, must be active in religious
work in order to get the best out of
Christianity, Her talk deeply af-
