and rather sudden turn last Thursday
when ]. s. Andrews president of the
Ferro Concrete company, of Seattle,
wired Chairman F. l.. Bash, of the
county commissioners asking that the

celled and the company released from
it's bond.
Complying with the request, the

gal fight is now narrowed down to the

ing in the supreme court.

LOCAL MEN in
OFFICERS RESERVE
F. r. Jeffrey Enlists as Captain
and John Lauterbach as
First Lieutenant

City Attorney F. R. Jeffrey and
John Lauterbach are receiving the
congratulations of their friends on
having successfully passed the exam
ination in the Officers reserve corps.
The two took the examination at Fort
Vancouver Tuesday. Mr.. Jeffrey ap-
piled for captaincy and Mr.. Lauter-
bach for a first ieutenancy.
Both met the requirements without
difficulty and are now enrolled to await
orders. It is probable they will be
called next week to go to the Preside
at California where they will receive
three months training before being
given their commissions and assigned
to duty in the U. S. infantry.
Of the local boys who left last week
for, the navy, VIM. Peckenpaugh and
Austin Robinson i returned, having
failed to pass the physical examina-
tion in Seattle. Young Robinson was
rejected because of broken foot arch.
At the suggestion of the examining
physician he is taking corrective treat
ment and thinks there will be no
doubt of his being able to pass the
examination within few weeks. Gene
Mitchell, who was rejected here, went
to Seattle and was permitted to enter
the naval hospital for a slight opera
tion for rupture which, If successful,
will enable him to complete his en-
listment.
Postmaster Averill Beavers has lin
ed up some new recruits and naval
officer will be here again next Tuesday
A recruiting officer for the U. s. Ma
rines is in town today. This branch
of the service has opened recruiting
station in Walla Walla and applicants
may take the examination there at
any time.

CHAUTAUQUA Is
LAST OF JUNE
Kennewick Has Been Given Sat-
isfact0ry Dates for Weeks
Program - Meeting Friday

Altho the annual chautauqua has
become a fixed and permanent part Of
many towns in the Yakima Valley,
Kennewick is to have its firsS Chautau-
qua experience this year.
Last fall a number of local business
men signed up with representative
Of the Ellison-White company as a
guarantee for the six-day Chautauqua.
Word was received recently from the
company that Kennewick had been
given the dating, June 1921 inclusive.
These dates are regarded by the To-
cal committee as very satisfactory as
they come at the time Of year when
farm operations are not going forward
under high pressure. The strawberry
crop will have been harvested by that
time and the peach season will not
have opened.
Some Of the attractions included in
the program are: Lo Zito's Royal We
netian Band, Military Girls Orchestra,
Fillion Concert Party, the Wossers
Company, Lyric Male Quartet, Swiss
Alpine Yodlers, Senator Jas. X. Yard
aman, DR.. G. Whitfield Ray, Lorene
Wiswell Wilson, VIM. A. Bone, Wood
Briggs, Francis Hendry, DR.. Andrew
Johnson, w. L. Mellinger, Mary Adel
Hays. One of the big features will be
the Mawson Antartic Expedition, Sir
Douglas Mawson's own, lecture illus
trated by the most wonderful motion
pictures ever taken.
E. w. Trenbath has been placed in
charge of local arrangements and he
has called meeting Of all those who
signed the contract for Friday evening
of this week in the Commercial club
rooms. At this time committees will
be organized and plans outlined for

SENIOR PLAY
. MAKES Big HIT
High School Youngsters Please
Large Audience with Clever
Little Comedy

Altno the clever little comedy, "All.
of-a-Sudden Peggy" fairly bristles
with surprises, none written into the
lines by the author is greater than the
surprise which took unawares the
large audience that packed the high
school gym last Friday evening. The
audience was surprised because the
little comedy was staged by members
of the senior class in manner that
put it far and away above the usual
high school play.
The writer fully realizes that the
reader fully expects him to say just
what he has said regardless of the
merits Of the show, because criticizing
a "local talent" is almost as hazard
GUS pastime as playing German spy.
But really, "All-of-a-Sudden Peggy
was-no, we can't say the best, local
talent show ever given in Kennewick,
survivors Of other events are too num-
erous, but-well, it was exceptionally
good. Yt
It was not exceptionally good be-
cause any one character was excep-
tionally good, but because every char
acter was exceptionally good. The
youngsters seemed to fit so perfectly
and naturally into their parts that
consequently the high honors of the
evening must be awarded to Miss Mary
L. Nelson, who directed the play.
As has been said, to give special
mention to those who were exception
ally good would mean the wreathing
Of a little verbal bouquet for each one
in the cast. Dora Williams as Peggy
and Jas. Reed as Jimmy were just
what Peggy and Jimmy were expected
to be and the characters were not so
different from the players as their ev-
ery-day selves. Now it was little
hard on a handsome youngster like
Bill Sly to expect him to fuss around
like a bug professor and make love
gently. lie did it, however, very sat-
isfactorily. 1t was a shame, too, to
powder Perry Soth's red hair and
plaster him all up with side burns and
step him around as a flighty old man,
but it was all for the good Of the fam
lily. Perry seemed to like it and the
audience certainly did.
Now the audience was not greatly
surprised at any Of these. All of
them had been seen in action at numer-
Gus school functions and everybody
knew they were good, but the big sur
prises were Miss Annie Halverson
and Miss Bess Hendricks. Miss Hal
verson, as the smelling-salts, aristo-
cratic mother, without doubt, had the
most difficult role in the play. She
did it admirably, with never a bobble.
A professional could not have kept
her nose any more perfectly in the air
and her high-flown English accent
could not have been improved upon.
But even this high-f1own English ac-
cent found its equal in the high-strung
Irish brogue of Miss Hendricks, who
took the part of the Widow O'Mara.
They were all good. The show was
more than worth the money. Every
body was satisfied and the young peo-
pie are to be congratulated.
