COAL BINS ARE
EMPTY AS BIG
STRIKE LOOMS
Kennewick Dealers Have Not a
Pound of Coal on Hand-De-
liveries Expected
SCHOOLS CAN RUN A MONTH
On Whole Community has Smaller
Supply of Fuel than Last Year
at this Time

With the bins OF every coal dealer
in the city empty, Kennewick is in no
condition to face the nationwide
strike of coal miners which has been
set for midnight Friday of this week.
While Kennewick, with its mild eli
mate and the possibilities for getting
wood, will probably be able to weather
thru a strike cf considerable duration
without actual suffering, business will
undoubtedly be badly crippled because
of the lack of an adequate fuel sup
lply.
Entirely aside from the. strike the
fuel situation is anything but promis-
ing. Not pound of coal can be pur-
chased in the town today and altho all
of the dealers are awaiting deliveries
not one of them can hold out any pro-
mise as to when any more coal will
arrive. The present shortage, the
dealers say, is not due to rush of
consumers to stock up in advance Of
the strike, but rather to the delay in
the arrival of long past due shipments.
1t is believed that on the whole the
community is not so well supplied
with coal as it was at this time last
year.
One of the first institutions to feel
the effect of the strike will probably
be the public schools. E. o. Keene,
clerk of the district board said today
that the schools have on hand not
more than a months supply Of coal.
The district has, as in former years,
contract for the seasons supply, but
If The dealers are unable to get ship
ments the contract will be Of no avail
and the schools will be forced to close.
2 The ten businesses in the Hover
block are looking out on rather chilly
world. The big bins at the rear of the
block, which usually at this time Of
year are piled high with coal, are en-
PITY and there lis not more than
months supply in the basement. Like
the school board, the owners OF the
block have had the years, supply Of
coal ordered for months, but have been
unable to get deliveries.
Kennewick may shiver some, but it
win not be left in the dark If the
strike does materialize. Fortunately
The supply of electricity comes from
hydro-electrie plants which are not
dependent upon coal for their opera
lion. Fl

EVERETT MAN
OPENS LAW OFFICE
Phillip G. Warnock Comes to
Kennewick After 20 Years
Residence i'm Everett


Phillip G. Warnock and family ar
rived last week from Everett and Mr.
Warnock has opened law offices IL
the Kennewick Transfer company's
building on Second street.
Mr.. .Warnock has been resident Of
Everett for many years and of his
leaving the Everett Evening Herald
says:
sPhil G. Warnock is saying goodbye
to Everett. A resident of Snohomish
county for 81 years, active in many
public movements, and probably as
well known personally as any man in
the county. He is leaving Everett for
Kennewick, where he will take up the
practice of law.
"Warnock's life in Snohomish coun-
ty reads almost like book. He came
here in 1899, when the town was wild
and woody, journeyman barber; and
followed his trade for IL years. Then
came the day when he was drawn for
jury service, and got his first touch
of legal life. That settled his future.
1t didn't matter that he had little edu-
cation and absolutely no legal know
ledge. He was going to be lawyer.
SIN the back of his barber shop,
nights and spare moments during the
day, he started his studies. 1t was
necessary for him to go pretty much
into fundamental learning, but he did
that and added touch system typewrit-
ing and shorthand as well. And he
read law. 1t was hard work, hard
study, but Warnock had made up his
mind. To those who know his deter
there was little of surprise
in the news item, one morning in 1909
that Warnock had been admitted to
the state bar. He had made good.
"But he was not yet destined to en-
ter active practice. Warnock was pre-
pairing to hang out his single when
the chance came TO him to enter the
office of the county clerk. Realizing
the opportunities the position would
give in the first hand study of legal
procedure, he accepted the position,
selling his barber business. For the
past eight years he. has retained his
position there. During the war he
was one of the foremost of the Four
Minute Men, and took active roles in
Liberty Loan and Red Cross drives.
"He laid down that work to go over
seas with the Y. M. C. A, he being a
charter member of the local organiza-
tion. He was some time at Camp
Lewis, and was then sent to France,
where he was in charge of all Red Tri-
angle work with the Fortieth Division
from Camp Kearney. He returned
home May g.. eight months in France.
"The young lawyer is member of
the Odd Fellows, the knights of Py-.
thias and the Woodmen of the World. |.
in which organizations he has been
very active

WALLA WALLA co.
TO MOVE HERE
Gas and Oil Company will be at
Home in New Building on
Second Street

Tie headquarters of the Walla Wal
la Gas, Oil & Pipe Line company are
to be moved from Walla Walla to Ken
newick and will be housed in neat
Office building of the bungalow type
which viii be erected on Second street
just west of Hotel Kennewick. The
contract for the building has been let
to A. v. McReynolds and excavation
started this week.
Not only will the building be the
headquarters of the Walla Walla COM
pany, but it will be the home of Henry
D. James, general manager of the
company. The building will be of tile
and stdcco construction with office
rooms at the front and living rooms
at the rear. 1t will have basement
and a hot water heating plant. Mr..
McReynolds expects to have the build
ing completed within sixty days. The
site of two lots was recently purchas-
ed by Mr.. James from the Hover IN
yestment company. 8
Mr.. James is coming to Kennewick
with the headquarters of his company
because he has great faith in the fu-
ture of this city and because he be-
lieves Kennewick is the logical gate
way to the Benton County Gas and Oil
company. The operations of his COM
pany make it necessary for Mr.. James
to make frequent trips to the field
and for some time he has felt that
with headquarters in Walla Walla he
is not in close enough touch with the
activities in the field.
The Walla Walla company is one of
the pioneers in the local field. 1t was
their large standard rig, which was
under lease to H. C. Wrightsman of
New York, with which the large gas
well was drilled and they are the own
ers of this well. They are now drill
ing another well and it is understood
that the big drill is getting down near
the gas level.
From the very beginning Mr.. James
has been firm believer in the ulti-
mateesuccess of the field and believes.
that Kennewick will profit more large
ly from the development of gas and
the striking of oil than any other town
in the state.

IKENNEWICK GETS
SHARP CALL-DOWN
Insurance Rating Bureau Says
ssRear-End" Conditions are
Reprehensible

According to letter from G. A.
Maury, of the Washington Surveying
and Rating Bureau, to Mayor Geo. E.
Tweedt, the rear view of Kennewick's
business district is one Of the worst
that has ever come to the notice of
that bureau. The letter makes it
plain that unless the rear Of the bust
ness premises are cleared of empty
boxes,. etc., Kennewick is due for
another Boost in insurance rates.
The letter was read at an adjourn
ed meeting of the council Tuesday eve
ming. The, council passed the buck to
the mayor, saying that there is an or
ldinance prohibiting the accumulation
of rubbish or inflammable material at
any place within the fire limits and
that it is up to the mayor to see that
this ordinance is enforced.
Mayor Tweed has accepted the re-
sponsibility and expects very soon to
serve written notice upon such busi-
ness men as have been violating the
ordinance that they viii be prosecut-
ed for any further violations.
The letter to Mayor Tweedt follows:
The Undersigned visited Kennewick
about two weeks ago. You were abb
sent from the city, in the East, we un-
destand, at the time of his visit. Up
on the return of the undersigned to
his office we are now writing you in
regard to serious and widespread con-
ditions of neglected rubbish, such as
refuse, discarded packing material,
boxes, etc.. which our representative
ative observed at the rear Of and adja-
cent to many premises in the mercan-
tile district. Such conditions, for in
stance were regarded as especially re-
prehensible, in rear of buildings shown
as Nos. 43, A and 45, Blk. 103, San
born map and in rear of buildings Nos.
80 and 32 Blk. 100 of that map, also
to give other instances, rubbish con-
ditions are bad in rear of buildings
in Blocks 119, 120 and 121, and such
conditions obtained in rear of other
buildings.
"We regard the rubbish situation
at the time of our representatives Wis
it as one of the worst that has ever
come to the notice of this Office. There
was a strong wind blowing, as fire.
quently happens in Kennewick, at the
time of that inspection. It was just
under such conditions of neglected rub
bish that largely destroyed the town
of Gle Elum in June, 1918. It was
just under such conditions of rubbish
as promoted the destruction of Aber-
deem by fire. There is clearly lacking
in Kennewick any intelligent or reg
ular system for the removal of rub
bish. We were recently compelled to
make an advance of 25 per cent in the
insurance rates of a town about the
size of Kennewick in the western part
of the state owing to persistent rub
bish conditions which obtained there.
