KENNEWICK WINS
AT NORTH YAKIMA
High School Debating Trio Has
Won Three Straight Vic
tories in State Series

In the third of the series of the
state interscholastic debates held last
Friday night, the Kennewick high
school team, upholding the affirma-
tive of the Monroe Doctrine question,
won from the North Yakima debaters
by unanimous decisi on of the
judges. Their decision gives the local
team three straight victories and it
places them well in the running for
the championship of the district, an
honor won by them last year. Should
they prove successful in their fourth
and last debate they will have won
the district championship for two sue
cessive years, feat not yet performed
by any high school team in the state
since these debates were instituted
ten years ago.
The contest took place at North
Yakima, the team representing that
city's high school being by far the
strongest opposition the Kennewick
team has encountered this year. The
result of the main speeches left little
choice between the teams, but the SUI
perior work of the Kennewick debaters
on rebuttal earned them the coveted
victory as we'll as the high commenda-
tion of the North Yakima school au-
thorities, whose good sportsmanship
was evidenced in generous approval
of the work done by the visiting team.
Leading honors on the Kennewick
team belong to Ruth Cresswell, while
Mr.. Douglas was the strongest speak
er for North Yakima. The members
of the teams are, Kennewick: Ruth
Cresswell, Barton Sherk and William
Sly; North Yakima, Mr.. Clithero, Miss
Williams and Mr.. Douglas. The
judges were Attorney Lon Boyle. Of
Prosser, Attorney Stephen L. Chaffee,
of Sunnyside and C. D. Foster, editor
of the Grandview Herald.
In reporting the debate the Yakima
Daily Republic says: "The Kennewick
debaters showed themselves thoroly
at home, even in the high school audi
torium, where speaking is difficult.
They gave their points simply and
clearly, without any tendency to rant.
but with effectiveness. They showed
every courtesy possible to their oppo-
nents, tho it is but fair to the local de-
baters to say they did likewise. The
Yakima team did effective work but
could not combat the more finished
work of their competitors"

INDIAN SAME AS WHITE
MAN OFF RESERVATION
Supreme Court Holds that Red Men
are Subject to the Game Laws
of the State

Olympia-The supreme court has
handed down two important decisions
affecting the rights of Indians under
treaties made in 1859, which the In
dams claim gave them the right to
s'fish in their accustomed places" !"
The Supreme Court, affirming the
Whatcom county superior court in the
case against John Alexis, a Lummi
Indian, and reversing the Benton coun-
ty superior court in the case of the
state against Alec Towessnute, a Yak
ina Indian, says the state has police
power granted under the enabling act
to restrict fishing rights of both the
whites and Indians and in spite Of the
treaty both are to be considered on
the same basis excepting in so far as
Indians have exclusive rights on their
reservations.
Alexis and Towessnute were charg-
ed with fishing off their reservations
without complying with state regula-
tions.

SHERIFF DUFFY MAKING
CLEANUP OF OLD TAXES
AS Result of His Efforts But Few
Hundred Dollars Remain on
the Unpaid List

The sheriff's office has all but clean
ed up the 1914 personal taxes certified
to it by the county treasurer. Out Of
$1627.69 all but $379.91 has been col
lected, and out of this sum Sheriff
Duffy is certain of getting 5000 more.
This will leave $179.91 unpaid out Of
the total sum handed to the sheriff to
collect. The only reason this will not
be collected, is because service cannot
be made, the parties having left the
country.
In addition to the 1914 personal
taxes Sheriff Duffy and his force has
collected 1886 on 1915 migratory
stock and s447.22 from 1911-12-13
personal taxes which accounts Sheriff
Duffy fell heir to when he assumed
Office. He expects to get in about $3.50
more on these old bills and will GER
tify the balance back to County Treas
urer Harper as uncollectable.
The sheriff's force is justly proud
of the showing so far made, as it is
the best record ever shown in Benton
county and, measured collections
against expense, few counties in the
state can equal their showing.-Re-

larger than was thought week before
last when the committee reported the
signatures of SO per cent of the grow
ers and 85 per cent Of the acreage.
Some new acreage has been found
since then and the total still outside
the association is estimated at Is
acres. This reduces the percentage
pledged to the union to Is per cent.
Fully half of this independent acreage
is in the hands of four or five promi-
nent growers who have stood out
against the overtures of the organiza-
tion men. However, still greater ef-
forts are to be put forth to bring these
men in. The originators of the organ
ization idea are still hopeful that they
will bring the total up to more than
85 per cent.
