CARNEGIE LIBRARY
" IS A POSSIBILITY
Local Association will Ascertain
Conditions Under Which a
Building May be Had

A Carnegie Library for Kennewick
in the near future is a possibility. AT
the annual meeting Of the Library as
sociation Monday Rev. w. p. Osgood
was instructed to write to the secre-
tary of the Carnegie fund and ascer-
tain the terms and conditions under
which a building might be secured.
Rev. Osgood had already been doing
some investigating in this respect,
while Rev. K. S. Tontz has been on the
lookout for suitable site.
These two men are of the opinion
that were the building so arranged
that it could be used as city hall and
as Commercial club headquarters the
rentals would be almost enough to
meet the annual payments required
by the Carnegie board.
AT Mondays meeting the following
trustees were elected: F. j. Arnold
M. M. Moulton, w. p. Osgood, X. S
Tontz, C. E. Miller, G. A. Mrs. Stew
art and Mrs. J. L. johnson. The treas
urer's report showed balance of $6.7l
after the years rent was paid in ad
vance. The librarian reported theSfol
lowing periodicals were to be foun'
on the reading Gables each month

gest, Everybody's, American, Wo
mans Home Companion, Pictorial Re
view, and Modern Priscilla. The frs

in the library Saturday evening, Jan
uary IS, at 7:3o o'clock. The boar

ested.

CLUB TO STAGE
A MINSTREL SHOW
Black Face Stunts to Put New
Pep into Organization
To Work for Road

At the regular meeting Tuesday
evening F. r. Jeffrey took his seat as
the new president of the Commercial
club. AS is usually the case at TIE
close of a year the club has been
rather loafing on the job and to put
new life into the organization and new
dollars into the treasury minstrel
show was decided upon. w. N.
Voegtly and E. H. Sherk, the newly
elected trustees, are to take charge
and stage the shows
E. M. Sly and E. w. Trenbath were
named a committee to use their best
efforts to secure state appropriation
to complete the state road between
Richland and Benton City. 1t was
suggested that they secure the coop
Grafton of other commercial clubs in
the Yakima Valley.
Altho it is the states practice to
leave the surfacing Of roads to the
counties, it is thought probable that
the legislature might be induced to
complete this road as there will be nc
county funds available for at least q
year and possibly two years and the
states grade will have been blown
away by that time. As an argument
in favor of the states doing the work
it was pointed out that the county
used its funds for building the road
from Benton. City to Prosser wher
the grade should properly have beer
built out of the public highway fund.

BELIEVE DOG
HAD THE RABIES
Belonging to G.E.Han-
son is Killed After Fight at
Joe Smalley Home

After an exciting chase along the
river front, the Airedale dog of G. E.
Hanson was killed near the VIM.
Dircksen home shortly after dark this
evening. The fatal shot was fired
from a shotgun in the hands of "Bat"
Nelson, who with the Chief of Police
had given chase in an automobile. Mr..
Copeland says there is little doubt
but that the dog had developed rabies
as his eyes were glazed and set and
he was frothing at the mouth at the
time he was killed. '.s.--s.,. ......r. ..
The dog first came under suspicion
last evening when he attacked dog
at the home of Geo. Sargent in the
Garden Tracts. Today the dog was
apparently all right but this evening
he showed up at the home OF Joe
Smalley in the east part OF town and
DTOCeoU0U W CISotC q NASsseA Sss~ASSs
Mr.. Smalley says that the animal was
making toward Mrs. Smalley when he
was attacked by the Smalley bulldog.
It was with great difficulty that the
Airedale was beaten off and then Mr..
Smalley was forced to defend himself
against attack by the vigorous use
of a broom handle. The dog then at
tackled the old family dog at the VIM
Dircksen home. He was finally driven
away from there and was coming UP
the road toward town when he was
met by Nelson and Copeland.
Mr.. Smalley Immediately shot his
dog and the Dircksen and the Sargent
dogs will probably be killed in the
morning. The Hanson dog wore
leather muzzle but it did not prevent
his using his teeth with telling effect
According to Chief Copeland man!
of the muzzles in use, especially th'
leather ones, are mere makeshifts ant
afford the public little or no protection
against the attacks of any dog tina
might become affected with rabies.

new LITIGATION
OVER COURT HOUSE
Three Restraining Orders and
One Contempt Citation are
Now on the Docket

One of the first official acts Of John
Truax after assuming the duties of
the office of superior judge was to is
sue a restraining order citing the new
board of county commissioners to ap-
pear January IL and show cause why
they should not disavow the act OF
the old board in letting the contract
for a court house. The order also
prohibits the new board from carry
ing out the terms of the contract.
This makes three restraining orders
in force on the court house deal. The
supreme court has held up further ne
gotiations in the bond issue until jan
uary Is. The order signed by Judge
Linn January forbade the commits
sioners from completing the purchase
of the site or from letting the contract
for a court house and the order OF
Judge Truax is supplemental to this
one. The hearing on both is to be
held before Judge Truax next We'd
nesday. ...-..ss.Es --.s.. ...... s..-...s ~.
Judge Linn's order was violated by
Commissioners Clements and Nc
Neill last Friday when they let the
court house contract to the Ferro Con-
crete company, of Seattle. As a re-
suit they have been cited to appear in
the superior court January 81 and
show cause why they should not be
fined for contempt. This hearing was
originally set for the 18th, but was
postponed upon request of attorneys
for the defendants.
Immediately after letting the con-
tract for the court house last Friday
Commissioners Clements went to Sc
attic to sign the contract and complete
the deal. According to men who at
tended the meeting Of the board Fri
day the letting of the contract was as

actions in connection with the bond is.

(: Brick & Tile company who was pres

start to finish and a contractor wht
was not in on the deal had no chancs
to get the contract. ...J-.....
He says that while the Ferro Con

peared to be the lowest, in reality j
was not, as it provided for alot OF ex

IeeIandIe Conditions.

Iceland. which has just resumed d.
rect commercial relations with u.s.
after centuries during which no Ice
landic ship ever visited our shores.
furnishes an example Of what can be
done by determined people under nd
verse physical conditions. It has
short growing season, not much soil
and little feed for cattle. yet its peo-
pie live lives of singular freedom and
on the whole are among the happiest
on the globe. There is no national
debt, no paupers. no saloons, and. ac-
cordlng to the Christian Herald, the
schools and churches are prospering,
while libraries are well patronized and
education Is highly valued. Because
of lack Of raw materials the island
can never hope to become a manufac-
turing community and its people never
will be rich In the accepted sense of
the term. but they are contented. The
purpose of the recent visit Of an Ice
landic ship to American shores wns
to develop a market for fish caught in
northern waters. the war having had
an adverse effect on the market in
Europe. Iceland Is now the only
place in the world where the ancient
Norwegian Is spoken. that language
having remained practically unchanged
since It was taken there by the early
settlers some nine centuries ago.

Experiments carried out by Doctor
Faragher at the University Of Kansas
on various methods of laundering col
lars prove that alkalies when used In
proper proportions do only slight dam
age to the fabric provided proper rims

The greatest damage is done by
bleaches and acids. Chlorine bleaches
injure wool and silk, but hydrosul-
phfte Of soda does no harm.
DR.. Herbert NJ. Shilstone, official
chemist Of the Tr-State Launderers'
association, is quoted by the Scientific
American as telling his clients thnt
"the extensive use Of oxnlic acid in
power laundries has been the cause Of
the slow adoption by the average house
wife Of this class Of service"
The object Of laundries that could
not use the sun as bleach was to
turn out white goods. and they chose
oxalic acid as the first substitute.
"It has taken years for you to
awaken to the fact that you have
been producing n nice white table

STRONTIUM ORE PRO-
 DUCED IN UNITED STATES

For the first time in many years suontium ore has been marketed from deposits in the United States, ac- cording to J. M Hill, of the United States Geological Survey, Department ol the Interior Most of the ore mark eted in 1916 was produced in Arizona and California. The ore mined in the State of Washington was not market ed The domestic output was equal to about 10 per cent of the ordinary demand, which amounts to 1000 tons The British embargo on strontium salts need cause little disquiet among American users, for abundant ore is nc doubt available in this country, and certainly American chemists have shown that they can profitably make the salts needed here.
