BARNES CIRCUS IN PAsC0
Six Hundred Wild Animals will be
Shown There Saturday, June IL

Lavishness of display, thrills
amusement and sensational features
all presented in a clean and whole
some manner, marks the character OF
the Barnes Wild Animal Circus which
is to exhibit in Pasco, Saturday, June
IL.
An entertainment fairly bristling
with original ideas, every part OF
which is presented with educated an
imals, marks the Distinguishing fea-
ture between the old-time circus and
the Barnes show.
With the show are sixty lions, IT,
gers, leopards and jaguars; thirty
grizzley, cinnamon, Siberian, polar
and black bears; every species OF
monkey; herds of camels, zebras, zu-
bus and elephants and every one OF
these animals is a performer. They
are not carried about as menagerie
just to be looked at, but each one mas
been trained to act.
Also, one other very great feature
of the Barnes show is the beautiful
horses and ponies. Other circuses
have them too, but none can truth
fully boast of them all being actors
as the Barnes horses are. These
horses and ponies are shown in the
parade presented to the public at
1890 and the special attention OF
spectators is directed to the fact
that during the shows performance
the same horses will appear in 9
brilliant display of military drills
marches, dances, posing and comedy
skits.
Of course some of the old time.
tried and always welcomed circus fea-
lures are retained by this modern
Barnes Circus, such as side shows
sawdust rings, military bands and
pink lemonade vendors. Forty clowr
elephants, mules, goats, ponies, pigs
dogs and monkeys-all rib-ticklers-
provide fun for the kids.
Performances are given at 2 and s
p. m, the doors being opened at l ane

STREET IMPROVEMENT

Matter of Expenditure of Part
of Road and Bridge Fund :.
is Referred to Him

The county commissioners MONDAY
considered the request OF the kenne-
wick city council for the expenditure
on the streets of Is per cent OF the
city's chare of the general road and
bridge fund. AS this expenditure had
been authorized by the board no fur
Their action was needed other than to
refer the matter to Commissioner j.
B. Clements.
Mr.. Clements announced his inten-
ton of being present at the meeting
of the council next Tuesday evening.
He said he was willing to spend the
money wherever it was most needed
provided that the street improved
connected directly with one OF the
main county roads.
He suggested that the only inn
provement possible with the $4,000
available would be surface oiling and
said he was favorable to plan to oil
Columbia Avenue to connect with the
Richland road or Second street to con-
meet with the Highlands road. He is
highly satisfied with the results OBJ
tanned from the oil put on the Rich
land road and is convinced that this
is the most economical method Of up
keep. Commissioner F. L. Bash also
said very satisfactory results had
been obtained from oiling in his dis
trict between Hanford and White
Bluffs.

YAKIMA MEN VISIT
NATURAL GAS WELL
Flames Shoot into air when well
is Lighted and Visitors are
Convinced there's Gas

Sixty North Yakima men who are
interested in the activities Of the
company which owns the gas well IA
miles north of Benton City, made the
trip to the well last Sunday. That is,
As of the 60 who started, visited the
well, the other Is having spent the
day in the sagebrush desert doctor
ing sick automobiles. The trip was
made under the direction Of M. j.
Bond, fiscal agent for the gas and oil
company, which was recently organ
lied with capitalization of 500, 1000.
In reporting the trip. the Yakima
Republic says:
That there is gas in the well no one
who visited it yesterday doubts.
When the valve which confines the
gas in the pinch pipe was opened at
8 O'Clock, there was kissing sound
resembling the blowing of of steam
from a railroad engine. When the
first attempt was made to light the
well the force of escaping gas ex-
tinguished the lighted newspaper
which was being used for the purpose.
After two or three minutes the pres
sure subsidized very slightly and the
gas was ignited. The flames burst
into the air with a roar, and the
blaze shot about 20 feet in the air.
Spectators standing within rs feet
of the well were forced to retire to a
greater distance on account of the
heat.
Men who watched the burning well
for Is minutes saw the flame gradual
~ diminish in size for five minutes,
after which it appeared to maintain
a uniform length of about Is feet.
Men from Hanford, 10 miles dis
tant from the well, were Intercepted,
and A. McConnachie, who has gen.
eral merchandise store there, said
when the well was first opened two
years ago, he had seen the flames
issuing from the well almost every
night for three months from his home
in Hanford. This statement was also
made by a brother of the merchant
and by T. E. Kamarer, also Of Han
ford.
The well is TOO feet deep, 500 feet
Of which are lined with 6-inch steel
casing. The larger pipe is capped
with Pinch pipe, which extends
10 feet above the ground. The well
is at the base Of the Rattlesnake
ridge, four miles from its summit,
and at an elevation Of about 1900 feet
and is IA miles northwest of Benton
City.
Gas is not issuing from the well in
commercial quantities, according to
men of this city who made the trip
Sunday. The owners Of the well ad-
NIT this, but express the hope that
deeper stratas, if penetrated by drill
ling, will confirm their expectations of
greater quantities Of gas or possibly
oil. \.

WIRELESS TELEPHoNY.

When it was announced that after a long period of study and tests it was possible to talk across the United States and actually hold conversation between the individuals directly con- cerned one on the Atlantic and the other on the Pacific seaboard, it was heralded as wonderful achievement, and it was. It was less than a year ago that this was perfected and put into commercial use and the country has not ceased to talk about it. A conversation across the continent, with everyone in attendance equipped with receivers to hear, has been the feature of important gatherings and banquets in the eastern states for months.
 Not any more wonderful was this than the accomplishments of wireless telegraphy covering as it does thou sands of miles without it being nec- essary to have the distance spanned by wires but it marked distinct ad- .vancement in the extension of ser vice which the whole country is de- pendent upon.
 The announcement which now comes from Washington to the effect that radio apparatus has been perfected
 which makes it possible not only to telegraph but to talk via Arlington with San Francisco and Hawaii by means of the wireless telephone and the prom ise that this will soon be possible for
 reaching out across the ocean indicates
 another distinct triumph for science
 It Is the accomplishment of what was promised when a few years ago il
 was found possible to talk distinctly g i distance of fifty miles by wireless and l it has been a speedy fulfilment Ii 1 indicates that the limits to which
 scientific development is confined are l by no means reached and that there l are still wonders to be unfolded a: great as those already disclosed.

merits of the existing governments and to permit of a demonstration upon their part of the ability of the respec- tive leaders to exercise the control which they, are claiming.
 The week has brought forth little which reflects to the credit and stand ing of the factions. Carranza with the idea that he should be recognized and strongly clamoring for 1t on the grounds that he is the strongest and has the army to back up the control which he insists he has. has failed to improve conditions along the border. Instead of lending his efforts to bet ter1nent there. reports continue to come north of the killing of American soldiers and the participation therein of Carranza soldiers entrenched as if the two countries were at war. It has been a demonstration of the lack of control rather than a display of it's possession and of such a character as to make this country wonder whether he is willing to put an end to such border trouble.
 On the other hand Villa has dis played weakness in the withdrawal of his troops from certain important centers and sending them to the Sonora hills. His strength is apparently wan ing, while Zapata is making similar demonstration although still able to cause trouble. Thus the first week of watching lends mighty little en- couragement for any of the chiefs.
