Harry Miller, vice president; H. E.
Compton, secretary; John Erickson
and James Willis, trustees.
B. S. Wadsworth left for Walla Wal
la Sunday evening called there by the
death of an old friend, +. ID. Mottett.
Mr.. Mottett was one of the pioneer
bankers of Walla Walla and very
wealthy man. The funeral was held
Monday morning at 1890, many old
friends from different parts of the
state being in attendance. ~.
Frank Carlson has traded his ranch
north of town to a party in the east
for 160 acres of land in South Dakota.
The deal was made thru the agency
of F. B. Petsel Mr.. Carlson states
that he does not expect to leave here
for some time but will simply hold the
land as a speculation. He retains
possession of his Richland ranch until
April first.
Harry Maupin, who took a promi-
nent part in the Commercial club play
in Kennewick Friday and Saturday re-
turned home the first of the week and
reports himself highly pleased with
the treatment accorded him while
away. Mr.. Maupin has voice of ex-
ceptional range and power and no
doubt more will be heard from him in
the near future should he decide to
make profession of singing.
Max Poindexter is back again; he
says he is not here to stay, but you
can never tell anything about that as
he may take notion to trade all he
has back in Dakota for Richland land
and remain here until he gets some
other trading bug in his bonnet. He
claims that Dakota weather has Rich
lands climate skinned mile and that
he has made all kinds of money since
he left here. Sunday evening he left
for Seattle on big deal which, if he
closes it up, will give him enough in
commissions to keep him without work
for many day to come. There is no
use beating about the bush, when it
comes to engineering a real estate
trade or sale there are mighty few
who can enter into Mr.. Poindexter's
class, and when he left Richland we
lost sure-enough live wire. Of
course if there is more money to be
made in Dakota he should not stay
here but he is good booster and helps
any country that he happens to be
in. Mr.. Poindexter will remain in Sc
attic about week, returning to Rich
land for few days before leaving for
his home in the east. He reports his
family all well and pleased with their
new home; also that Mr.. and Mrs.
Louis Huser, who went east with the
Poindexters are making good and are
thoroly satisfied.

not wish to do anything contrary tc
the wishes of the city council. Some
little discussion of the matter was in
duiged In, Mr.. Relton stating that as
poolrooms were kept open in all the
| nearby towns he saw no reason why
the local room should not be given the
same privilege. Mr.. Hudson was of
the opinion that number of people
mad no other place to spend few
spare hours Sunday and that if the
pool room was open it would give
them chance to keep in off the
streets. Herschel Jameson said that
ne wanted to be sure just how the
place would be run; whether there
would be much noise, etc., as he felt
that Sunday many people were de-
sirous of attending church and they
were as much entitled to their beliefs
as others and that nothing should be
allowed on Sunday which would mar
the quiet of the day. Mr.. Shireman
left the matter in allegiance until the
next session of the council when it
will be discussed at length.
After the allowing of several bills
the motion was made to adjourn until
one month from date.
Mrs. Hopper, the first woman coun-
Gilman ever elected in Richland proved
herself thoroly competent to fill the
office. Her knowledge of the city or
dinances, on which she has been read
ing up for some time past, made sew
eral of the men folks sit up and take
notice and there is little doubt that
she will fill the position to which she
has been called with great credit, not
only to herself, but to the community
at large. A woman on the council will
cause more interest in local municipal
affairs among the wives and mothers
and it is to be hoped that every meet
ing of the board will see number of
women in attendance who will by their
presence show Mrs. Hopper that they
appreciate her able efforts toward civ
lie betterment. The present city coun-
Gil is credit to the town and the pros
poets for the coming year seem to be
very bright indeed.

AN ALASKA MILITIA.

large number of recruits could be secured in Alaska fo the federal service where but few would the Alas ka militia be used in the governs in the states where the militia is called out to que local trouble tC assist the civil authorities
 In case serious trouble again law and order and the welfare camp Alaska there be quickly gathered enough volunteers to assist the civil officers More over the United States troops handy for that purpose Therefore Alaska militia for purely local purposes not needed and would be difficult to maintain
 On the other hand if Alaska militia could be organized for federal service aone be depended upon in time of trouble emergency there would be trouble in organizing active companies in every community.
 Should the United States be unfortunate get into trouble with foreign nation Alaska would be the mercy of the In fact pirate ship might along and loot homes and levy tribute upon the different coast communities. In such Alaska militia rather an Alaska federal would prove necessity To wait until the danger threatened and to meet invaders with uorganzed would be pay dear price from the lack of pre- paredness-Juneau Dispatch

ROWING.

Coach Hiram Conibear, of the Uni versity of Washington crews. who has arrived here for the Intercollegiate and Harvard Yale regettas, is plan ming to invade Poughkeepsie next June with an eight pared varsity crew, which is said to be the fastest ever developed at Washington, so far as can be judged from the material and performances of the season just closed. Stanford also desires to race on the Hudson again in 1917, and it may be that both crews will take part in the regatta next year, unless it should be shown that one is consider ably superior to the other.
 WEST TO GO EAST.
 The intercollegiate and Conference Athletic Association officials have been given to understand that Stan ford, California and possibly a third Pacific Coast university track team will try for eastern honors in 1917, provided the athletic material in sight performs up to the marks ex, pected by the coaches. A football game or games between one or more of the leading eastern elevents and a university team from California or the Northwest is also among the pos abilities. Correspondence looking to. ward such a contest Is under way, and the indications are favorable at this time.

yachting will be inaugurated at the end of the month in an inter-club cruising week, open to the members of the Yacht Racing Association of Long Island Sound, the Long Island Sound Power Boat Association and the New York Yacht Club. It is the first time in the history of the sport that yacht owners have invited the power boat men to take part in a cruise and the novelty has created enthusiasm among the followers of both types of yachts.
 The committee has arranged a very interesting program. It is made up of short daily runs, so arranged that the yachtsmen all will be at anchor in plenty of time to allow them to take part in shore events. In the case of a calm, the motor boat fleet will be used to tow the sailing craft to the finish line. The most interest ing feature of the week will be the racing among the new forty footers of the New York Yacht Club. Twelve yachts compose the division. They were built during the winter and form the star class of the season. It will be the first opportunity of their owners to try out the new craft fin cruising trim.
 CANOEING.
 The American Canoe Association has also planned for an innovation in connection with the international meet, open to all amateur canoeists in the United States and Canada, at Sugar island, August to 12 of this year. It will be the first meet open Ito all amateur paddlers regardless of whether they are members of the | American Canoe Association. The Ichamnionships of North America will be awarded to the winners of con tests of single blades, singles, tan dems and fours in the junior, inter mediate and senior classes. The meet will be under the auspices of the American Canoe Association, which owns the 35-acre island known as Su gar island, located on the St. Law renee river, between Clayton, N.

INCREASING TO AN
ALARMING EXTENT

Hog cholera is sweeping over Ma
rion county, and is particularly pre-
valent in the northern part. r. w.
Blackjack, county demonstration
agent, says that the disease is in
creasing to an alarming extent, and
the situation is the more serious be-
cause of the fact that the free serum,
supply has been cut off. The farm
ers are urged to look to the sanitation
Of their farms, to guard their hogs
against infection. 1t is now neces-
sary for the farmers to purchase the
serum, but the saving of hogs will
more than pay for the treating of
them. Mr.. Blackjack has inocculated
something like 5000 hogs in the last
few months.

A FLAT REFUSAL

The situation is understood to be
that the railroads fatty refuse to
concede the eight-hour day, but are
willing to arbitrate that and all other
matters. The men are willing to ar
bitrate some questions, but unwilling
to arbitrate others.
Among the railroad managers COM
mittee it was said the railroad presi-
dents were being constantly advised
as to the progress of negotiations and
it was thought they took the same
position the managers did. It was said
in case some railroad presidents can't
speak absolutely for their railroads,
the president may invite the financi-
ers controlling the roads.
The statement is also made that the
brotherhoods may try to bring out
through the new turn of negotiations
their cdaim that the larger railroads
actually control many smaller ones.
