PROBABLY START WORK
ON STREETS THIS WINTER
Only Three Property Owners Protest
Against the Improvement of
Washington Street

There seems to be, little doubt but
that the improvement of Second,
Washington, Pacific, Tacoma and Yak
lima streets will be undertaken this
winter. At the hearing on the
local improvement district cover
ing Washintogn and Yakima streets
Monday evening protests were
heard from three property own
ers, J. B. Smalley, Frank Emigh
and Mrs. Harriet Beach. Mem
bers of the council, however, did not
feel that these protests were sufficient
to warrant an abandonment Of the
improvement plans.
The question with the council now
seems to be the advisability of be-
ginning work on the streets this win
ter or waiting until spring. The ma
jority opinion apparently is that the
improvement should be started as soon
as possible while the gravel pits. are
open and men and teams are plentiful.

HUNTINGTON WINS
BY FOUR VOTES
Official Canvass of County Re.
turns Gives Treasurership
to Democratic Candidate

+. By gaining IL votes on the official
count, Horton Huntington lands the
county treasurer job by a lead of four
votes over j. C. McClelland. Com
plete unofficial returns gave the cleo
tion to the republican candidate by
seven votes, but the result was
changed by two errors found at the
official canvass. In Hover precinct
the election officials in carrying the
totals forward had credited McC Clelland
with ten more votes than shown in
the poll books. An error of one vote
was found in the returns from Vale
precinct. Il ..s.... f.. tta.a-.5 .
Other than this the official canvass
did not change the results. In fact
none of the other contests were close
enough to leave any doubt as to the
suit. AS the result now stands two
democrats were elected to Office in
the county, Huntington for treasurer
and Fristoe for prosecuting attorney.
The vote for president and governor
was not changed. Hughes plurality
over Wilson being 10 while Lister led
Mcbride by 231 votes. 1t is a rather
peculiar coincidence that in the ten
Kennewick precincts, namely Finley,
Highlands, Horse Heaven, Hover, the
Kennewick first, second and third
wards, Kennewick Gardens, South
Kennewick and Kennewick Valley
President Wilson and Governor Lister
received exactly the same number of
votes, 442 each, altho the vote in each
of the precincts was not the same fer
the two offices. McBride's plurality
over Lister was ten more than Hughes
plurality over Wilson in these ten
precincts, the total votes being, for
Hughes 568, Wilson 442; Mcbride 57s,
Lister 442. Mcbride carried all of tie
ten precincts excepting Finley and
Kennewick Third Ward, while Hughes
lost in Finley, Horse Heaven, Hover
and Third Ward. Of the other %
precincts in the county Mcbride car
1ied only three, Hanford, White Bluffs
and Wellington, and Hughes carried
nine, Hanford, White Bluffs, Prosser
First and Second Wards, East Prosser
Lower Yakima, Vale, Rattlesnake and
Walnut Grove.
Complete official returns from ali
precincts are given on another page
of this issue.

TOWNSHIP ORGANIZATION
Is STILL in QUESTION
Commissioners Rule that the Prop0-
sition was Lost but Law Reads
Otherwise

Until word is received from the at
torney general, nobody seems to know
whether township organization car
ried at last weeks election or not. To
the innocent bystander it appears that
there is conflict between the provis-
ions of the township statute and the
state constitution, the one providing
that the proposition is carried by q
majority of those voting on the ques-
tion, and the other providing that to
carry, the proposition must have a
majority of all those voting at the
election.
Upon the advice of the county at
torney the commissioners have held
that the proposition was lost and un-
til facts to the contrary are estab-
lished this ruling will stand.

Situation is Serious

That there is hydrophobia among
the dogs and coyotes of the Yakima
valley and along the Columbia river,
Is the conviction of sheep herders,
stockmen and others who are in the
best position of any to know the facts
leading to their conclusions, says the
Yakima Herald. Symptoms of rabies
are pronounced and characteristic and
all the information st hand leads to
the conviction that whether absolutely
right or not in their conclusions the
herders and the stockmen have found
something, whatever it is, threatens
property and human life. Efforts

MRS. CHIPPERFTELD
CALLED BY DEATH
Well Known Kennewick Woman
Dies in Hospital at Pasco-
Had Rare Illness s

Mrs. E. N. Chipperleld died last
Friday morning in the hospital in
Pasco where she had been receiving
medical treatment for nearly three
weeks. Altho she had been i'll for
about seven months only relatives and
intimate friends knew Of her critical
condition and her death came as a
sorrowful surprise to her many
friends. Death was due to very rare
affection of the throat known as the
Hodgkin's disease.
Funeral services were held in the
local Methodist church Sunday after
noon at 2:30 by Rev. c. E. Miller, as
sisted by Rev. w. p. Osgood, of the
Baptist church. Burial was made in
River View cemetery.
Mrs. Chipperfield had made her
home in Kennewick most Of the time
since 1909 when she came here from
the east with her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Robert Gilcrest. She was born
November 30, 1881, at Cresco, Iowa,
where she grew to womanhood. She
was married to E. N. Chipperfeld or
November %, 1911. Since their mar
riage Mr.. and Mrs. Chipperfield lived
for time in California and Seattle
but returned to Kennewick last Janu.
ary last January to make their home
in their cottage in Olmsted addition.
She became Christian when a gir
of twelve and during her residence
here was an acive worker in the
Methodist church. She was the young
est daughter of Councilman and Mrs
Robert Gilcrest and besides her par
ents and husband she leaves one sis

the heads of dead animals for analy-
sis that veterinary science may settle
beyond doubt the nature of the
trouble. @.-.s
Federal government hunters were
numerous last winted in the Oregon
country, where reports of depreda-
tions by coyotes suffering from hypro-
phobia were reported. An effort was
made to kill off all the coyotes in the
rabies district and to keep the infected
animals within bounds. The disease,
it was said, had rot got) across the
Columbia river. Z
Federal hunters have operated in
the lower valley for the past year,
some of them in territory from which
the present reports come. It seems
certain that the disease has gotten
into the Yakima valley and that it
has gotten across the Snake river and
up along the Columbia river north of
the Priest Rapids.
Crazed coyotes such as those told
of last year in Oregon are reported
from numerous camps in this valley
and there is no question that an eff
fort will be made to have greatly
increased corps of government hunt
ers put in this territory this year
Hydrophobia or rabies is one Of the
most feared of all diseases. and those
posted as to its character have beer
dreading its appearance in this ter.

in attendance the entire Washington
delegation in congress that they may
become acquainted with the merits OF
the project before they return to

to the representatives of commercial
clubs and chambers of commerce thru.

Investigations of this project are
now being made by engineers of the

checking the data compiled by the N

good chance of getting the reclama.

Two methods of reclamation have beer
suggested. One is to irrigate the
lands by temporary extension of the

constructed or by the enlargement o1
