Youths Respond to C0untry's
49,. Call for Men II :.

When N. P. train No. pulled out
yesterday it carried seven of this val
ley's youths who had answered their
country'ss call and will do service in
the U. S. navy. The boys were ac-
,companied by Recruiting Officer Wake

from Seattle. In the party were Har-
old Taylor and William Peckenpaugh,
of this city, Harry Maupin, julius
Hopp, Clarence Yedica and Gene Nit
chell, of Richland and Austin Robin
son, of Finley. Young Mitchell was
rejected in the examination here be-
cause Of a slight rupture, but he hopes
to be permitted to enter the naval
hospital for minor operation that
will permit him to make the physical
qualifications.
Three other Kennewick boys, Will
liam Sly, Bryson Lausch and Allen
Paul passed the examination given by
Officer Wakeman and expect to leave
to join the colors within the next few
weeks. Howard Paul was rejected.
The first Kennewick boy to enlist was
Harvey Barrick, who left with Re-
cruiting Officer Wilson two weeks ago.
The boys go from here to Seattle
where they will be given a more thoro
physical examination. They will then
go to the Navy Yard at Bremerton
to receive their clothes and from there
to the U. s. Naval training school at
San Francisco.
When these boys get into their sail
or clothes this valley will be pretty
well represented in Uncle Sans sea
fighting forces. Henry Rich has just
finished his studies at training school
and has gone aboard ship. Jay Smith
has been in the navy some time and
Ellis Lincoln, Lowell Kimble and
Christopher Wilkinson, son Of Rev.

MARKET MOVES

Frank Spofford has moved the Ken
newick Market from the temporary
location at Second and Yakima streets
to the new Dircksen building on Sc
cond street. The market is unques-
tionably the neatest and best equipped
one Kennewick has ever had and it is
doubtful if its equal is to be found in
any town Of this size. Mr.. Dircksen
spared no expense in the appointments
of the new building and Mr.. Spofford
has installed new and modern fixtures
thruout. It is business place in
which the people of Kennewick should
take considerable pride.

TRANSITION FROM
WAR TO PEACE in
TRADE STARTED
Secretary Redfield Tells C.
of u. S. Munitions Orders Are
Being Supplanted

Washington, Feb. 2. Secretary
Redfeld told the Chamber of Com
merce of the United States in an ad-,
dress to-day that the period of tran
sition from war conditions to peace
conditions in our Industries has al
ready begun" lie declared mupi-
tons orders are being supplanted by
demands for products which compose
normal exports in peace times.
THE change has come almost un-
noticed" said the secretary, "at the
very time when many voices were
raised to say it could only come with
a shock. The drift on this side of
the sea has been toward placing muni-
ton orders in Canada rather than
with us. In our own land the orders
have changed from finished munitions
to demands for the materials out of
which munitions can be made. These
materials are in chief part our nor
mai product in times of peace.
Rurthermore a saner view has
come of what we may call future war
conditions. 1t is now well under
stood that ,belligerent nations are
looking rather toward guiding their
imports than toward pouring forth
upon our feeble and unprotected
heads vast volume of finished pro-
ducts, accumulated with well intent"

QUIETEST WEEK
in STEEL TRADE
Traffic Troubles Are Given as
the Cause of Falling
Off

Still beset by traffic troubles. the
steel trade trade has had one of the
quietest weeks in many, as though
January ends with even more assur-
ance of full operations far into the
year than existed at its opening.
In summarizing the situations the
Iron Age of to-day says:
That the United States Steel Cor
poration, with all the construction of
traffic late in the year and the short
age of coke, earned S106,00O,0OO in
the last quarter of 1916. or far more
than in the previous three months, in
dicates the advance the steel COM
panies have made into their higher
priced orders. But even so, consider
able shipments are still going out at
close toNa &c basis for heavier prod
ucts; hence larger earnings are yet
to come.
In the Pittsburgh district some
mills are believed to have shipped
more product in the past fortnight
than they booked in new business, but
generally the cutting down of ship
ments has caused slight gain in un-
filied orders in January. At Chicago
consumers of the heavier forms of
rolled steel have crowded the mills
with specifications and emergency or
ders, so that even in the absence of
large new contracts the accumulation
on the books has increased.
= In the Central West there is some
easing up of the pressure on sheet
and bar mills. Some sheet mills that
nave been quoting the top of the mar
ket for prompt shipment are now talk
ing such business at So lower. on
heavier products, however, prices ON
both early and later shipments are
firm if not higher.
The desire of foreign buyers to
get all the steel possible from this
country is seen here and there in the
acceptance of more steel with upper
limits in phosphorous and sulphur.
In recent inquiry for 900 tons of
X inch rounds 0.07 was allowed on
phosphorus and sulphur.
"ltaly's inquiries for barb wire, steel
bars and ship plates continue. but
ocean freights are q distinctly ,Iimitina
factor in all export trade"
