DANCE PLASTER ON

I 1t is not known yet whether or not
the large crowd which assembled at
the Valley Club house Wednesday
night danced plaster all over the walls
but they surely did dance some on.
The affair was big success both
from the inside looking out and from
the outside looking in. In other words
the club members are well pleased
with the change which jingled in at
the door and those who attended were
equally we'll pleased with the brand
of amusement handed out by the club
people.

NEW CAPTAINS FOR
MEMBERSHIP CONTEST

bath are to Head Opposing
Teams of Commercial Club

With L. E. johnson and e. w.
Trenbath leading the two teams, the
Commercial clubs annual member
ship contest is now on for sure. The
two new captains were named We'd
nesday to take the places Of r. G.
Mounsey and H. R. Vibber, who found
it impossible to assume either the
honor or the responsibility of the job.
The two captains met today, Sc
lected their helpers and the big fight
was on. The details of the contest
will be the same as in former years.
The membership fee will be reduced
to $3.50 as a special inducement for
those wishing to enroll on the clubs
membership during the contest.
An annual banquet will mark the
close of the contest but it has not yet
been determined how much the losing

towards the expenses of the banquet.
The date has been definitely set for
Wednesday evening, December ID.
Governor Lister has notified the club
that he will be here and shall be
pleased to accept a position on the
speaking program. It is probable
that DIR. Suzzalo, of the University,
will be unable to come.

MONTANA CERTAIN
TO BE A WINNER
Gold Mining Property Controlled
by Local Men will Pay Big
Dividends, Says Schmandt

That the Montana Gold Mine in the
Okanogan district with continued de-
velopment will become much richer
proposition than even the most en-.
thusiastic stockholder ever expected,
is the belief of Earle Schmandt, who
returned from the mine the first of
the week. According to Mr.. Schmandt
the property is no longer a prospect
but mine with sufficient high grade
ore in sight to insure its success.
At ninety feet in the east drift and
at depth of 81 feet the ore is show
ing up in well-defined ledge six feet
across the face. There is no doubt
but that the formation here is in
place and the ledge gives every indi-
cation of widening as the shaft goes
deeper. Mr.. Schmandt estimates that
there is now exposed 10000 tons Of
ore and if the ledge holds out at a
depth of 100 feet there will be at
least 25O,O 900 tons which can be gotten
out at an average cost of rs cents per
ton. The average assays of the ore,
mine run, show a milling value Of
$6.45 in gold.
Work at the mine has been shut
down for the winter because of snow
but operations will be resumed as
early as possible next spring. The
stamp mill which was installed this
year has been operated enough to
show the necessity of installing cy-
anide tanks the average values which
have gone over the plates being $3.50
a ton. All of the tailings have been
saved and these values can be saved
when the cyanide process is installed.
He estimates that there is enough
gold in the accumulated tailings to
pay for the installation of three cy-
anide tanks.
Experiments with the cyanide pro-
cess have demonstrated that at least
IS per cent of the values can be taken
from the Montana ore.
Mr.. Schmandt since his arrival in
the city has been conferring with Of
ficials of the company and it is prob
able that plans will be made at once
for installing the cyanide tanks early
next year.

SEASON is CLOSED
WITHOUT A DEFEAT
Kennewick Football Team Scores
13 to 0 on TOuchet and
Ties with PascO

By winning the Thanksgiving Day
game from Touchet by score Of 13
to 0, the Kennewick high school foot
ball team finished the seasons sched-
ule without a defeat. They have
played to two ties, both with Pasco,
and it may be that a post-season game
will be arranged to decide honors be-
tween these two schools.
At every stage of today's game the
local boys demonstrated their super
iority over their heavier opponents.
Only once, during the last few min
utes of play, was their goal in grave
danger.
Near the close of the last quarter
with the score 13 to o against them
the visitors took a sudden rally and
by series of line plunges and short
end runs rushed the ball from center
field right up under Kennewick's goal
posts. The game closed with the
ball in Touchet's possession and with
in less than yard of touchdown.
As in former games the outstanding
features of Kennewick's play was the
work of the fleet back field and the
scrapping qualities of the Lincoln
brothers, ends. Owing to the strong
wind Kennewick attempted the for
ward pass but once or twice and then
without success. Earle Johnson was
the most consistent ground gamer and
was equally efficient in finding holes
in the line or circling the ends. Warde
johnson was again in quarterback po-
sition and ran off the plays in man
ner that would do credit to season.
ed high school player.
Kennewick's first score was chalked
up in the second quarter when Behr-
man carried the ball over. Johnson
kicked an easy goal. In the third
quarter, after long end run by john
son, who scooped up a tumble, Ter
rill crossed the goal for the second
touchdown. A kick-out for goal went
wide and the score stood 13 to 0.
Tie with Pasco
In Pasco last Saturday the local
boys played 13 to 13 tie with their
opponents from across the river. Ken
newick started things off with a rush
and made two touchdowns in the first
quarter. Pasco, however, took a
brace and turned the tables in the
second half, their second score re-
sulting from neatly turned forward

RICHLAND ASKS
KENNEWICK TO
WORK WITH THEM
Up River Strawberry Growers
Organize and Request Local
Farmers to Cooperate
COMPETITION UNCALLED-FOR
Ninety per Cent of Up-River Growers
Agree to Market their Berries
Under One Management

Not SatlSned with prices ODtalneC
through the Yakima Valley Fruit.
growers association or from any Of
the independent marketing concerns
in Kennewick, the Richland strawber-
ry growers have decided to market
their own berries next year. For the
purpose of lining all of the growers
up into one organization two meet
ings have been held in Richland and
plans outlined for perfecting the
Richland Strawberry Growers union.
Sentiment in the Richland district
seems to be practically unanimous in
favor of such step and three-days
canvass of the district has resulted in
growers of 80 per cent of the entire
crop pledging themselves to join the
union and stand by it. Definite plans
for marketing the crop have not been
worked out yet but it is certain that
all of the Richland crop is going into
consumption through the same mar
keting channel and there will be no
cases of Richland berries competing
with Richland berries.
]. R. Gardner, of the Gardner Fruit
company, one of the promoters of the
new union, came to Kennewick We'd
nesday for the purpose of interesting
the Kennewick growers in similar
movement. "The Richland growers
are Just as ready to cooperate with
The Kennewick growers as with each
other," said Mr.. Gardner. 1--WE re-
alize that it will be impossible for our
union to get the best results if the
Kennewick crop is marketed haphaz-
zardly with no general control over
prices. We do not expect the Kenne-
wick growers to join our organization
nor ask that they organize along the
same lines we have organized. We
do want them, however, to come to
some agreement whereby prices may
be controlled so far as it is possible
to control them at this end of the line.
"The fruitgrower and farmer is the
worlds greatest advocate for coop
GRAFTON. I have yet failed to find a
grower who does not admit that the
salvation of the fruit business de-
pends upon cooperation at the pro-
ducing end of the line. For once our
growers have reached that state OF
mind where they are going to stand
together and to give cooperative mar
keting a good, fair test. If we can't
win out this way there will not be
one acre of strawberries in the Rich
land district two years hence where
there are fifty now. All we are ask
ing the Kennewick growers is to meet
us half way and to assemble their
crop under one control"
Mr.. Gardner interviewed number
of local growers and business men and
it is possible that some cooperative
plan will be announced within the next
few days.

Women Urging
Store Closing
Christmas EUe

A formidable array of women s
organizations have lately been agi-
tating the question of closing the
down town stores on Christmas eve
so as TO give the clerks opportunity
to enjoy that evening with their
families and now the following or
CARNATIONS come forward with a
Joint resolution urging the compile
ton Of Christmas shopping before
Christmas eve: Womens Civic
league, Progress club, Thursday
club. Impromptu club, Women's
Dining club. Mothers club. Shakes
peare circle. Women's Christian
Temperance union. Florence Critten-
ton circle, First Baptist Ladies Aid
society. First Presbyterian Mission
airy society, Foreign and Home Mis-
sionary societies of the First Vi. f.
church, Ladies' Aid and WOmen's
auxiliary of Westminster Presby-
terrain church, W0mens auxiliary Of
St James Episcopal church.
Women have put off their Christ
mas shopping until the last week,
indeed until the last day. said one
clubwoman. until it has become a
nabit. Merchants are not in favor
of late shopping. On the contrary,
they advertised long before the holi-
days urging early shopping, but as
long as the public, particularly the
women, demand it, the stores will
be kept open on Christmas eve.
Not long ago the stores kept
open two nights every week, but as
soon as the public decided it could
do all it's shopping in one evening
the stores closed on Thursday
nights AS soon as the women de-
cided they could order groceries
once a week for two days instead
of one, the groceries and meat mar
kets closed on Wednesday afternoons
during the summer months. Like
wise as soon as the women decide
that they can complete their shop
ping before Christmas eve, the
clerks will be enabled to enjoy this
evening of evenings with their fam
lilies"

INTERLUDE ISSUED
High School Magazine is Placed on
Sale Friday.

The Interlude has at last made
it's appearance to the high school
students, being issued yesterday af-
ternoon. After four months dick
ering and talking over the matter,
II was concluded that the Interlude
would be published through the
efforts of the senior class. which
voted its treasury away to finance
the monthly. The first edition is
combined, both the November and
December number being in one. The
magazine is much smaller than
usual, but this is accounted for by
Principal Sims as being up to date
with the other high schools in this
section.
The Interlude has been since it's
birth up to last year a monthly
magazine, and last year it was pub
hshed weekly. This year it has
returned to a monthly and the pro-
ject seems to find more favor with
the pupils.

MAN STABBED IN
BACK BY NEGRESS
Harry Burk Suffers Knife
Wounds and Claims Woman
Tried to Rob Him.

Stella Brown, colored. AIS s. Main
St, and Harry Burk, SOC S. Michi-
gan St. were the star performers in
a cutting ARRAY which aroused the
neighborhood in the vicinity of S.
Michigan and Tut SITS. last night
soon after 10 o'clock. AS the re-
suit Of the fight Burk received an
ugly cash between the shoulder
blades, inflicted, he alleged. by a
knife in the hands of the woman.
He charged that the womtn robbed
him of 1924 in money. After having
his wound dressed Burk was sent
home in a taxicab.
Owing TO the inability OF Burk to
appear in police court Saturday,
Judge Warner ordered a continu-
ance until Monday. Bonds were
placed at $500.
The police ambulance was called
to the scene of the fight at 1915
O'Clock. Officers Parker, O'Connel
and Bulhand made the arrest.
When the officers arrived on the
scene they found the Brown woman
trying TO escape capture by Burk
and a crowd of men. The crowd
had congregated in front Of the
Shafer livery stable on the west side
of Michigan St. where they had been
attracted by Burks call for help.
1t was with difficulty that the wom-
1A,fraflnd
ing the trip TO the police station.
Burk's version of the affair was
that as he was walking on the east
side Of Michigan st. the woman ac-
costed him and as he stopped to talk
with her, near the yards of the In
diana Lumber Co, she took the
money from his pocket and then
struck him with the knife when he
attempted to get the money back.
The woman alleged that Burk as
saulted her and that in order to pro-
tect herself she got the knife from
his pocket and, opening it with her
teeth, sought to scare him with it.
She admitted that she stabbed him.
Evidence from the bystanders went
10 show that the stabbing occurred
after the two had crossed the street
from the lumber yard, according to
the police.
Burk's wound was dressed by DR..
Edgar Myers. The man apparently
was not seriously injured but he was
weak from the loss of blood. The
knife with which the cutting was
done was an ordinary pocket knife
having an extra long blade with
keen edge and point. Burk main
tanned that he had never seen the
KNIT before. The idea that either
money or a knife could have been
secured by the woman from Burk's
pocket inasmuch as he wore an over
coat, was secuted by the police.
1t is believed that the woman is
stranger in the city particularly as
she at first gave her address as 10
Madison av. She gave her age as
22 years. Search of the woman and
of the vicinity Of the fight failed to
disclose signs Of the money that
Burk said he had LOST.
