election carrying, we could not prevail
upon them to order enough lumber to
replace lateral flume or to clean out
the ditch.
So it is now up to the land owners.
If the bonds are voted, the system will
be bought for $35, 900 and $4,000 will
be used this year to clean it out and
repair it so as to make it safe as far
as possible for carrying a double
water right this year. If they are not
voted, there will not only be no double
water this year, but the repairs which
the N. P. 1. contemplate in the opinion
of our engineer and the members OF
the board, will not be sufficient to
guarantee the carrying of one water
right.
l might add that the board consid-
cred seriously the matter Of comprom-
izing, of appealing to the public SER
vice commission, and condemnation
proceedings, but decided that the sit
uation would not permit the delay at
tendant upon any one of these plans;
and even If it did, there might be con-
siderable doubt if we got better deal
than we have settled on now, for
there is no doubt that it is very val
liable property. The governments
price on the It's second feet appropria-
ton owned by the N. p. I. Co. today
amounts to $780,, 500 and the ditch it
self, as originally constructed, was a
fine ditch, we'll built, with enormously
strong levees thruout. Against this,
of course, comes the liens Of the wat
er rights now sold, which are less than
one-third of their appropriations. Our
chief cause of action would necessar-
lily be based on the neglected condition
of the system, and inasmuch as the
company was not making money, the
question as to how much the courts
or the public service commission would
order them to do would always be a
doubtful one, and, the question OF
plant value would be still more doubt
full. Therefore the directors feel that
they have adopted the only wise course
open to them, and trust the land own
ers will approve Of their decision.

Didn't Want His Nan Cut

He occupied a BARRIERS chair
recently and he was drowsy. T;.
eyes could not be kept open and
his head dropped over his sbonI-
der and down upon his chest i
a way that made shaving a diff.
Guilty for the knight of the Iath-
er and a dangerous one for the
patient.
At last the barber said gently
but firmly:
"Look-e-here, sir, I can't nos.
sibly shave you unless you hold
up your head"
To which the response was
made with drowsy indifference.
"Well, then, cut my hair"

BASKETBALL TEAM
SCORES EVEN BREAK
Local Boys Lose to Ellensburg
and Win At Mabton-Hope
for Valley Championship
(School Correspondent


The trip of the basketball team to
Ellensburg and Mabton Melted both a
victory and defeat. The local boys
are not at all discouraged over the
fact that at Ellensburg Friday night
they suffered a severe defeat, as Ell
lensburg is out for the state cham
pionship. They have high school OF
over 800 from which to pick team
and it would be strange if they did not
develop an exceedingly fast team.
The Kennewick team reports that
the Ellensburg boys are as fine a
bunch of fellows as they have played
with this year. After the game they
gave them a dance and the next day
an auto trip thru the surrounding
country.
The next night at Mabton the situ-
alton was considerably different. Nab
ton had previously won six games in
succession from Yakima valley towns
and expected an easy victory over
Kennewick. But from the first sound
of the whistle Kennewick took the lead
playing all around their opponents, in
spite of the handicap Of the six posts
which support the roof of the Nab
ton gym.
At the end Of the first half the
score was 1876. In the second half
Kennewick still further increased its
lead and ended the game with a score
of 29-13.
This victory gives the home team
the basketball championship of the
Yakima valley, if they win from Pas
co Thursday night as Ellensburg is
not considered in the Yakima valley
district.
Next Saturday, Feb. %, the local
team plays Walla Walla here. Try
and have no other date, come out and
root for Kennewick and help her win.
Red Cross Workers
The class in sewing this last week
made nine pajama suits, eight bed
shirts, six fracture pillows and eleven
fracture pillow slips. They also cut
nearly four thousand gun wipes. The
seventh A did most Of the shipping
for the fracture pillows, besides cut
ting over two thousand gun wipes.
The eighth B and the seventh A will
soon have quilt and an afghan fin
ished. The girls are very enthusiastic
about Red Cross sewing, many pre-
ferring to do it rather than to make
garments for themselves.
Test Given
The Trabue Language tests have
been given in the local schools this
week turnout the grades from the third
to tenth. This is the fourth Of a
series of educational tests which have
been taken by the school children re-
Gently covering the subjects Of SPELL
ing, arithmetic, reading and language.
Results of these tests will be published
later.

Motorcycles In War.

From the arrival Of the British en-
pedltionary force in Belgium in the
late summer Of 1914 down to the pres
ent time the motorcycle has steadily
gained in Importance In different
branches Of the military service. It's
use has not been restricted to the al
lied armies. The best authorities place
the number Of motorcycles employed
by the armies Of the central powers at
the time Of the Battle OF the Marine &C
1900. The British had at least 10000
in service In the spring Of 1915. while
the French had about 1000. The Ital
Ian forces up to present have 10000
according to recent estimates. says
Popular Science Monthly.
II has been figured that more than
10000 motorcycles have been IN use
for military purposes by the belIIger-
ent powers since July 1914. This does
not include those at present In the
United States army service. for prior
TO our entrance In the great war the
American army I'D not have more than
perhaps 80 machines In all.

Brooks. But he didn't tell it all-hls
kind never does, not by long shot.
They, the four of them, It seems, held
a meeting as soon as / shipped out
that gold and put through that stock
selling scheme. That was legitimate.

chief object, however, was to let two

OF a good thing; also, they wanted
each good bundle of that stock while
1T was cheap-hguring that with the
prospects l had opened up 1t would
sell high. So they had It on the mar

framed up to reorganlze with a CAPT.

thousand dollars. This oil cut and
dried before I got there. Now, as 1t
originally stood, the five Of US would
each have made small fortune on
these Klappan claims. They're good.
But with quarter of a million In out

right for the fellow with a big block.
But you can see where l would get
of with a flve-thousand-dollar inter-
est. To be sure, a certain proportion
of the money derived from the sale of
this stock should be mine. But 1t goes
into the treasury, and they had 1t ar

fund for operations, with them doing
the operating. They had already indi-
