PORT ELECTION
DECEMBER SECOND
Will Submit Harbor Develop.
ment Plan to Voters and
Elect One Commissioner

The proposition of adopting or re-
jecting plans for developing the Ken
newick harbor will be submitted to
the voters of the Port District at a
special election, December 2. The har-
Dor plans are the same that were to
have been submitted at special cleo
ton last July. This election was call
ed off because Of errors that were dis
covered in the precinct boundaries.
AS explained at that time the adop-
tion of these plans does not mean that
any improvements will be undertaken
at this time but that whatever inn
provement are necessary to accommo-
date present traffic will be made ac-
cording to definite plan. The state
law requires that a general plan must
be adopted by vote of the people be-
fore the port commissioners can spend
any money on the water front. A
small sum has already been raised by
the 2-mill tax but it is not available
for improvements until it's expendi-
ture has been authorized by the
people.
At this election also, a commission
er to succeed G. M. Annis in the third
district is to be elected. Mr.. Annis
will not be candidate for reelection.
Altho no nominations have been for
mally made it is understood that Ing
wall Smith has consented to become a
candidate and he will probably be al
most the unanimous choice of the
voters in the district.
The polls will be open from one to
eight p. m. The poliing places will
be at the usual places in the city,
while the country people will vote at
either the home of A. Vance on Mob
Hill, C. F. Schenk in Olmsted Addi-
tion, or j. F. Perry in the Garden
Tracts. The complete outline of the
harbor plan is published elsewhere in
this issue.

NO TOWNSHIPS

Township organization lost at the
recent election. There is no longer
any doubt as to this fact. j. r. Ay-
ers, of the Finley Grange, is in re-
ceipt of letter from Attorney Gem
eral Tanner in which he says that to
carry the proposition must receive a
majority of all votes cast at the cleo
tion. A majority of those voting on
the question is not sufficient. In his
opinion Mr.. Tanner quotes a provision
Of the state constitution and cites a
decision of the supreme court.

CLOTHING STORE ROBBED

Sometime in the early hours of last
Saturday morning the Kennewick
Clothing store was entered by burg
lars who carried off nearly $150 worth
of suits, overcoats and shoes. The
store was entered by the back door
which was forced with a crowbar. No
trace of the robber has been found.
The police are of the opinion that the
robbery was committed about 1:30.
Chief c. E. Copeland in the early part
of the night tried the doors in the rear
of the Hover block and found the
clothing company's screen unlocked
and the back door locked. About 1:30
Patrolman J. B. Hayden tried the
doors and found the clothing store
screen fastened. He believes the rob-
bers were in the store at that time.

CARRY OUT THE
PRESENT ROAD PLAN
State Association Wants Present
Roads Completed before any
Others Are Laid Out

Carl Williams, president Of the Ben
ton County Good RocdS association,
E. w. Trc1bath, chairman of the Good
Roads committee of the Commercial
club, Gordon C. Moores, representative
elect, and R. E. Pratt, commissioner
elect returned Sunday from the
club, and R. E. Pratt, commissioner
annual meeting of the Washington
State Go Roads association in Cen
halls.
Altho the association did not at
tempt to make any recommendations
to the legislature as to how the pub
lie highway fund is to be distributed
during the next biennium, it was made
plain that the association is strongly
in favor of completing the state roads
on which work has been started before
any money is diverted from the fund
for expenditure on new roads.
If the same opinions prevail in the
legislature as were expressed at this
meeting there is little doubt but that
Benton county will at least get enough
of the state funds to complete the un-
finished portion of the state road from
Richland to Benton City. In keeping
with this opinion resolution provid-
ing that all state roads be surfaced by
the counties was voted down.
In his address before the convention
Governor Lister urged the early build
ing of State Road No. 8, down the
North bank of the Columbia. He
thinks this should be done to give
Washington a cross-state road that
will be open to travel the year around.
This road as surveyed connects with
the Inland Empire highway at North
Yakima. It leaves the river near
Maryhill and enters the Yakima VAL
ley by way of Mabton.
The following resolutions were
adopted at the meeting:
Lanterns on Vehicles
That the legislature be asked to
pass law to prevent as nearly as
possible deterioration of road surfaces
from overlooking or excessive speed
ing.
The passage of a law requiring all
horse-drawn vehicles to carry
lighted lantern on the left hand side Of
the vehicle at night.
That the levy Of 1 mill for state
roads and TX mills for permanent
highways be continued at least until
the highway system is completed.
That the maintenance fund for state
roads be increased from TX per cent
to not less than 10 per cent Of the to-
tai public highway fund, and that the
maintenance portion Of the perma-
nent highway fund be increased from
5 per cent to not less than tx per
cent Of the total permanent highway
fund.
That all funds provided for road
purposes be made as nearly as pos

To Debate Sunnyside
In the Interscholastic debates TAX

newick high school, on the affirmative
has been matched against the Sunny
side high school on the negative side
of the question, the debate to take
place at Sunnyside on the 18th of De-
cember. The local team is not count
ing upon victory over the Sunnyside
contestants because of the lack of
balance of the question selected by the
state Office this year. That the affirm
ative is very greatly the weaker side
OF the question has been recognized
all season by the debaters and the
coaches, their judgment being borne
out by the results Of the first debates
thruout the state. In this district
out of fourteen teams competing, not
single victory has been won by the
affirmative, while the only affirmative
victory the local team has been able
to hear Of came about partly as re-
suit Of the weakness Of the negative
team combined with the experience in
debating and superior strength as de-

Pitching quoits seems to be a new
amusement which the boys on the
street are now indulging, an amuse-
ment inherited from the idle rich who
spent the winter with US and who in

Messrs. C. H. and Lloyd Preston
have leased delightfully."- equipped
cottage at Daytona Beach for the
summer, and while the ladies are max

The moving picture theater is the

good paying crowd, though the pay

The town council has passed an or
dmance authorizing the laying of con-

Market street, and for filling in and
grading the street. The cost of this
needed and permanent improvement
will be paid-50 per cent. out of the
city treasury, and so per cent by own
ers of property along the street. The
council is to meet in special session on
July 24th at 1880 p. m. to receive OBJ
jecticns, or protests, which must be
reduced to writing and containing
reasons why the ordinance should not
be enforced. The council is doing
the proper thing. Central avenues

WAUKEENAH" WILL Be
NEW HOTEL IN OLD
TALLAHASSEE TOWN
Mrs. Claude L'Engle Will
Open House Which has
Been Fitted up With
New Furnishings
and Convc-
niences.

At last the people who have occa-
sion to journey to Tallahassee will
have something to remember pleasant
ly after their visits, for Mrs. Claude
LEngle will take charge of the Wau-
keenah, a new hotel, at that place
July A.
The Waukeenah is situated just
across the street from the state house.
Part of it is the old brick building
which has stood there for years and
was the residence of Mrs. L'Engle's
grandfather before the war. Part of
it is new addition consisting of six
teen large, comfortable, airy rooms,
with baths and new furnishings, felt
mattresses and other conveniences
and cohorts which greet the weary
Wayfarer gratefully:
1t S a long ride to Tallahassee from
almost anywhere, and to be able to
stop at such 4 home will be good news
to the travellers, commercial, legal,
legislative and otherwise.
Lloyd'S station, where the trains
stop twenty minutes for dinner, has
for long been the lone bright spot on
trip to Tallahassee and those who
would linger long about that bounte-
Gus and tempting board have been de-
MED the pleasure by the stertorous
"All aboard" of the adamantine con-
ductor. Now, Mrs. L'Engle's hotel
will afford just such an inviting haven.
Her cookery is not excelled in this
broad land, and those students of do
nestle art who wish to see living
example Of domestic art in it's per-
fection would do well to visit the
Waukeenah as soon as they have the
opportunity.
Claude L'Engle, former editor and
congressman, reduced to a state of al
most total helplessness by a trying
physical ailment, will have the help of
his bright and manly sons, Frank and
John, in looking after the office.
Claude L'Engle has the sympathy of
the entire people, with possibly few
exceptions, in his affiiction, and many
will find it in their hearts to help
along this enterprise which is being
undertaken by his devoted wife. But
this is not a sob story, and shall make
no appeal to sympathy Having lived
in the L'Engle home l know that it is
Z fortunate circumstance for the trav-
cling public that Mrs. L'Engle is to
open the Waukeenah.

MNaIlev of Dried Bones"

The island Of Jamaica possesses a
"valley of dried bones" 1t is near the
Cunacuma gap, in the Maroon country.
This valley, though in the heart of the
"wet country" is bare of leaf and life.
The limestone rock is hot. Giant trees,
which seem to have been blighted sud
denly, stand up gaunt and dead. Al
though vegetation seems to have been
dense here in former years, nothing
will grow now. During the hot season
the temperature is almost unbearable.
1t is visited by seismic disturbances,
which cause the dead trees and hot
stones to rattle like dry bones.

THE ART OF SELLING.

The art of selling is a very
important one and should not
be neglected by any young man
who intends to go into business,
even if he does not expect to be
a salesman. He will have to
sell his own services, and that
is one of the hardest tasks any
young man can undertake.

Was it the breaking OF a branch he
had stepped on or thrust aside He
heard the impatient pound OF his
horses hoofs. Then all was quiet. Still
he listened. not wholly satisfied. He
was never satisfied IN regard TO safety:
he knew too well that there never
could be safety for him in this coun-
try.
The bay horse had threaded
the aisles of the thicket. Duane
wondered what had drawn him
there. Certainly ii had not been grass,
for there was none Presently he heard
the horse tramping along. and then he
ran. The mud was deep, and the sharp
thorns made going difficult. He carte
up with the horse. and at the same
crossed a multitude of fresh
horSe-traVks
He bent lower to examine them, and
was alarmed To find that they had been
made very recently, even since it had
ceased raining. They We're tracks of
WeH-Shod horses. Duane Strengthened
up with a cautious glance all around.
His instant decision was to hurry back
to Jennie. Blu he had come a goodly
way through the thicket, and il was
impossible to rush back. Once or twice
he imagined he heard crashings in the
brush, but did not halt to make sure.
Certain he was now that some kind OF
danger threatened.
there came an unmistakable
hump OF horses hoofs off somewhere
10 the fore. Then a scream rent the air.
1t ended abruptly. Duane leaped for.
ward, tore his way through the thorny
brake. He heard Jennie cry again-an
appealing call quickly hushed. 1t seem
ed more to his right, and he plunged
that way. He burst into a glade where a
smoldering fire and ground covered
with footprints and tracks showed that
campers had lately been. Rushing
across this. he broke his passage out to
the open. But he was too late. His horse
had disappeared, Jennie was gone.
There We're no riders in sight. There
was no sound. There was a heavy trail
OF horses going north. Jennie had been
carried off-probably by outlaws.
lSpane realized that pursuit was out of
the q~uestion-that Jennie Y as lost.
