BAND CONCERT HEARD
 BY LARGE CROWD We'll Arranged Programme Finely Rendered Under Direction of John M. Swahn.

Tn spite of the fact that the weather was a little cool it was a good sized crowd that enjoyed the municipal band concert by Tubb's Military band on Union square Wednesday evening. For 9 while during the early evening it looked as if rain would mar the eve- ning's pleasure but the mist held off until after the programme. The well arranged numbers were most excel lently rendered by the band under the direction of Leader John M Swahn and the crowd showed their apprecia- tiOn and enthusiasm with generous bursts of well merited applause. The band introduced a novelty number that gained decided favor with the crowd

WEATHER LEVIES
TOLL ON BIRDS
Farmers who Wish to Assist in
Relief Work Asked to Tele-
phone DR.. Crosby

The weather is no respector Of the
game laws. The deep snow and cold
weather threatens to levy heavier toll
upon Benton county's flocks Of game
birds than the sportsman or poacher.
Altho County Game Warden M. D..
O'Connell is organizing relief COM
mittees and placing feed depots in diff
ferent parts of the county, farmers re-
port quail and song birds dead along
the country roads.
While in the city Wednesday Mr..
O'Connell arranged with DR.. Crosby
to take charge of the relief work
here. The doctor requests the coop
Grafton of the farmers in locating feed
depots wherever they may be needed.
All grain necessary for this purpose
will be furnished by the county and a
telephone call to DR.. Crosby will bring
an order for its purchase.
It has also been suggested that the
farmers erect brush heaps or straw
piles to provide shelter for the feath-
cred sufferers.

NEW SNOW RECORD

Just now the newcomer has an ev-
en- break with the old-timer in recall
ing the worst winter the Kennewick
valley has ever experienced. Altho
the government thermometer lacked
two degrees Of touching the lowest
mark on record all previous records
for continued zero weather have been
shattered and the deep SHOWS Of other
years have Been buried under this last
Offering Of the beautiful" Bill Mar
tin and few other of the old-timers
remember that in the winter Of 1889
80 there was a total snowfall Of three
feet. Altho the exact records Of this
winters total are not available the
pioneers admit this is the worst yet.

HUNDRED FOURTEEN TONS
OF DIRT TO THE SECTION
A. v. McReynolds Measures Amount
of Soil Carried by the Dust
Storm Last Week

A. v. McReynolds should be in line
to receive decorations from some
scientists society for original re-
search work, for so far as is known
he is the only man who ever attempt
ed to measure dust storm. To be
sure it is no trick to measure the We
locity of any old wind storm, but to
find out how much dust it kicks up is
another story. That's just what Mac
did do and he knows that last weeks
storm carried one hundred and four
teen tons of perfectly good soil from
the Adams county wheat fields and
deposited it on every section Of land
in the Kennewick valley. Mac swept
his front porch, weighed the dust and
computed the result. The dust from
100 square feet Of surface weighed
IL pounds.

IMPROVEMENT OF
STREETS PROBABLE
Council to Confer with C0ntrac-
tors Regarding Best Type
of Construction

There is little doubt but that consid-
cradle street improvement will be un-
dertaken by the city next spring.
Members of the city council are unan-
imously of the opinion that some Of
the principal streets should be put into
better shape and unless strenuous OBJ
jections are raised by property own
ers work will probably be started as
soon as weather conditions are IA
vorable.
Altho the improvement of Second
street from Washington to Pacific has
not been entirely satisfactory, it has
demonstrated to the councils salts
faction that this method of construc-
tion is not only economical but can
be made satisfactory with few minor
changes. Plans for this year include
the improvement of Second street
from Pacific and Washington street
from Front to the two canal bridges
and possibly Yakima, Tacoma and Pa
cific streets from Front street to the
alley between Second and Third.
At Tuesday evenings meeting Of
the council Street Commissioner Wal
ter Lodge furnished rough estimates
of the cost of this work. For the pur-
pose Of getting more definite estimates
together with recommendations for
the best type Of construction, the pub
lie Improvement committee was in
structed to arrange a conference with
H. L. Wilson, of Walla Walla, and a
Tacoma contractor who has requested
an audience with the city fathers.
This meeting will be arranged as soon
as possible.

fruit industry could not succeed until
sound business principles were adop-
ted by the growers. The first step
toward the adoption of business prin-
ciples, he said, is bringing the crop
under one control and marketing it
thru one channel. He likened the
strawberry business here to large
manufacturing plant, saying it would
be just as good business for Henry
Ford to take Jim Jones and Tom Smith
away from their work benches in the
factory and send them out to sell
the Ford each had made as for the
berry grower to attempt to market
his crop independent of and in COM
petition with his neighbor.

INTEREST SHOWN
IN RIFLE CLUB
Indications are that Local Or
|. ganizati0n Will Start With a
Membership of Seventy-five

Maybe it is because the men OF
Kennewick have become inoculated by
the preparedness germ; maybe it is
simply because they see chance to
have some good sport at small outlay
maybe both. At any rate the or
ganization of the Kennewick Rifle
club was accomplished Monday night
in jig time.
There were about fifty present when
C. L. Holcomb, acting as temporary
chairman, called the meeting to order.
The bylaws of the National Rifle as
sociation, under which the local club
must be conducted, were first read and
then the purposes, privileges and con-
diticns of the proposed organization
were explained after which the char
ter membership rolls were opened for
signatures. Practically everyone pre-
sent signed and to the list of Al men,
bers signing up Monday night there
have since been added over 20, so it
is probable that by the time work is
started in getting the rifle range in
shape, the club will have member
ship of Is or eighty men who want to
learn the knack Of handling a high
power rifle and plugging the bullseye
at all ranges up to thousand yards.
A membership of Is means that the
local club will receive from the gov
ernment, thru the National Rifle as
sociation, the loan of Is Krag-Jor-
genson rifles and the gift Of not to
exceed 5000 rounds of ammunition a
year. Many of the members will pur-
chase their own rifles which can be
obtained from the government arsenal
for from $3.50 to $500 each, according
to the style of arm and whether used
or new. Ammunition, in addition to
the 12O rounds free to each member
per year, may be had for $500 per
thousand and it is the purpose Of the
club to purchase this, couple Of
cases at a time, and sell it to club
members at cost.
A fairly level range can be located
south of the Olmsted addition and al
though the detail Of securing the
charter and supplies may take a
couple of months, members may ex-
pect to be called out to put the range
in shape as soon as weather permits.
Officers elected at Monday nights
meeting were: Edw. Sheppard, presi-
dent; Wilmot Gravenslund, vice pres
ident; C. L. Holcomb, secretary; John
Brog, treasurer; and F. r. Jeffrey.
member of executive board.

POLICE JUDGE DID NO
BUSINESS in JANUARY
Prohibition May or May Not Have
Been Resnonsible-No Busi-
ness Last Year

The peace and quiet of Police Judge
Staser's chambers was unbroken dur
ing the month of January and the
court docket came thru the first 81
days of the year without a scratch.
The judges monthly report submitted
to the council Tuesday evening COM
prised just two words: "No business" !"
Prohibition may or may not have
been responsible for the lull in police
circles as the records show there were
no arrests and no cases in police court
in January 1915.

CITY THREATENED
WITH COAL FAMINE
Less Than Weeks Supply Now
on Hand and No Shipments
are Coming In

With less than a weeks supply ot
coal in the bunkers of local coal deal
crs, with nearly all of the mines weeks
behind in their orders and with the
freight shipments at a standstill
Kennewick is facing a coal famine
which threatens to become acute with
in the next few days. Should the sup
ply of coal become entirely exhausted
before the bins can be replenished
the town will not be compelled to go
cold as nearly all the local yards
have large supplies of good dry wood
on hand.
At noon today there was not to ex-
ceed 100 tons of eastern coal in the
city while stocks of Roslyn mine-run
and steam coal were. more plentiful.
The Tum-A-Lum Lumber company
reported no coal of any kind, the st.
Paul & Tacoma had one car of steam
coal, the Superior Lumber company
had car of steam and about 80 tons
of the better grade, the Church Mfg.
company had car of Roslyn and
about ten tons of Bear Creek, the
Transfer company had less than a
weeks supply and The Produce COM
pany's stock were running low.
Lights May Fail
If the threatened coal famine ma
terializes our householders may not
only be put to the necessity of split
ting wood for a while, but they may
have to resurrect the old coal oil lamps
from the garret or lay in a generous
supply Of candles. It is reported that
the Pacific Power & Light company
have coal in their bunkers sufficient
only to operate their steam plant Cor
three or four days longer. The local
plant is now running on two carloads
which had been consigned to the Wal
la Walla plant and diverted to this
point.
Should further spell of bad wea-
ther hinder the railroads from getting
some coal trains thru within a few
days, we will almost certainly have
to fall back upon the old-time aids in
finding our way about after dark.

CLASS GAMES AT
HIGH ARE CLOSE
Juniors Defeat Freshmen and
SOph0mOres Trim Seniors in
Holly Contested Matches
(By School Correspondent

10y SCIiOOi SOTTeSpOnueuID
Three basketball games have been
played between the seventh and eighth
grades. In the first game, the sew
enth grade won, the second was tie
and the third was won by the eighth
graders. Another will be played to
decide the championship.
The basketball games between the
freshmen and junior teams were ex-
ira good and in many ways developed
some interesting surprises to both
spectators and players.
The first half of the freshman-jun-
ior game ended in 80 tie; the first
half of the sophomore-senior game
ended in TT tie. In the last half of
the freshman-junior game the fresh
men weakened and the game ended in
a 21-9 score in favor Of the juniors.
In the last half of the sophomore
senior game the "invincible" seniors
failed to get up action and the deter
mined sophomores sprung big sur
prise by ending the game with 20-15
score in their favor. A quick shift in
the sophomore lineup proved to be
the undoing of the seniors, Christen-
sen going in as center and outplaying
his opponent at every turn of the
game.
Five big games have been scheduled
for the local gymnasium. Tickets for
the five games are now being sold by
a special committee under the direc-
tion of William Sly, the local business
manager. The price of the tickets is
fifty cents for the students and one
dollar for others.
Mabton Plays Friday Night
The first matched game of the sea-
son will be Friday, at 8 p. m, with
Mabton. No information has been
received on which to make compari-
son of the strength of the two teams.
In the past the two teams have been
quite evenly matched, each town hav-
ing won and lost an equal number of
games.
The manual training boys have built
a very neat-looking and useful cabinet
which combines a window shelf and
a closet for containing the soil sup
plies. It was designed by Prof. VIM.
Meikle.
The students of the high school
have exhibited at various times very
fine ability to assume responsibility
when the occasion demanded it. One
days last week one of the instructors
was unavoidably detained thru the
greater part of recitation period by
other business. When she returned
to her class room she found the reci-
tation going on as satisfactorily as if
she were present, in fact, her entrance
did nit interrupt the work. One Of the
students acted in the capacity of
teacher.
Instances of this kind have oc-
Cured before in different classes. It
often happens, too, when all the in
structors have class work that no one
can take charge Of the study hall. In
such cases reliable student is left in
charge.
These instances go to show the at
titude of the students, at least part
of them, toward their work and school
life. The boy or girl who can in a
satisfactory manner assume a respon-
sibility at time when there is de-
mand for it and will not let such an
opportunity pass, will later be the
man or woman who will assume lead
ership in the world Of affairs. We
are glad we have boys and girls Of
that type in our high school.
