DOC. GETS A DEER

"You just naturally have to climb
a tree to keep 'em from running over
YOU" so declares DR.. c. G. Haworth
who returned last week from deer
hunting trip to southern Oregon where
he and A. B. Personette were guests
at the homes of Alfred and Will
Anon. ats a great place to hunt.
We saw ID deer one day and out of
the bunch I got fine big five-point
buck. First deer / ever shot at and
first time / ever shot that gun. He
was so bloomin' big ! simply couldn't
miss him." DIR. Haworth says that If
other Kennewick people are given the
same hospitable reception which await
ed him and Mr.. Personette, the Amons
will be overrun with Kennewick peo-
pie as it is a great place to spend a
vacation Both Anon families are
comfortably located in their new
homes and both have very productive
farms, and there is no homesickness
among them for Horse Heaven.

ORGANIZE AGAINST JAPS
Farmers and Business Men Organize
to Keep yellow Peril" Out

:
Adopting stringent anti-Japanese
resolutions a well attended meeting
of farmers and business men in White
Bluffs last Saturday night went on re-
cord as favoring the employment of
every peaceful and lawful means of
discouraging Japanese settlement in
that valley. There are no Japanese
there now and the meeting was a re-
sultsof report that a colony of them
were planning on coming in from Yak
ina.
The meeting organized itself into
a permanent society with the title:
'sThe White Bluffs Anti-Japanese As
sociation.' In effect the resolutions
mean practical astracism for anyone
who sells or leases the Japs land in
that valley. The membership list Of
the association has been circulated
there and has been signed by nearly
everyone in the district. Plans are
under way to extend the scope of the
antiLJ Japanese movement so as to in
clpde the whole of Benton county,
members of the White Bluffs grange
working thru the county organization
to bring this about. ~

HALT BUSINESS ].
FOR FOOTBALL
Friday, November n, Stores and
Offices will Close from Two
to Four p. M.

IS With one. exception every Kenne-
wick business and professional man
has agreed to close his store or Office
for two honrs Friday, November 21,
during the football game between
the Kennewick and Waitsburg high
teams. The Commercial club last week
went on record as favoring the clos
ing plan 4nd the first of this week
a closing agreement was circulated
by Principal A. L. Marble of the high
school. With the exception of the
Columbia Pharmacy every business
house signed up to close between the
hours of two to four. Not only the
stores, but the garages and the SER
vice stations will close. While the
proprietors of the fruit warehouses
did not sign, they expressed will
ingness to close, provided all the ap-
Piles can be gotten under cover and
out of danger of freezing by that
time.
The game promises to be a close
and snappy one. In Waitsburg two
weeks ago the Kennewick team lost
by z to 0 but the local lads are con-
fident. they can reverse the score on
their own grid.

over the unprotected edge of the dock,
turned completely over and landed on
It's side in several feet of water. The
sides of the car werss uncurtained and
all OF the occupants were gotten out
without difficulty and none of them
were injured excepting Mrs. Price.
The car was only slightly damaged.
AS matter of precaution both GO
ing and coming the ladies alighted
from the car before it was driven onto
the ferry, but they did not consider
similar precaution necessary when a
landing was being made.

VOTERS TO DECIDE
TEACHERS BONUS
School Board Announces Special
Bonus Election for Saturday
November %.

The school board has called spec
ial election for Saturday, November
20, for The purpose of submitting to
the voters the proposition of raising
money to grant the request of teachers
for bonus of 5000 each. It is now too
late to include this additional sum in
the annual budget. The question will
be whether or not the voters wish to
authorize the board to issue warrants
to- meet this increased expense. To
pay the bonus will mean an additional
tax levy of two mills.
In speaking of the special election
E. O. Keene, clerk of the board, said:
ssThe members Of the board are call
ing the election because we. believe the
Btachers are entitled to more pay, and
not to forestall or prevent strike
of the teaching staff. AT no time has
the board looked upon the request of
the teachers as an ultimatulm, nor do
we consider that the board nor the
voters are being held up by unjust and
unreasonable demands on the part Of
the teachers. The boards negotia-
.tions with the teachers on the question
of increased pay have been entirely
friendly.
"Since the request for the bonus
was made we have investigated condi-
tions more fully than before. There
is no question but that the teachers
are underpaid. And the pay here is
less; than in other schools Of similar
/ size in the state. While the present
salary is enough to meet the actual
living expenses of the teacher it means
that at the end of the school year she
has no funds left to carry her thru
vacation, It, means that instead Of
going to summer school and pursu-
ing her studies so that she may rise
in her profession, she will be forced to
take up other labors to provide her
self with livlihood until the begin
ming of the next school year.
"Our Investigations have convinc-
ed us that there is no injustice in the
request Of the teachers, consequently
we are passing it on to the voters of
the district who under present condi-
tions are the only ones who have pow
er to grant the request"

FOR BETTER IRRIGATION

Upon the petition of a number of
farmers in Section Seven the direc-
tors of the Columbia Irrigation dis
trict has declared its intention to ere
ate local Improvement district in
that section for the purpose of put
ting in an underground irrigation dis
tributing system. A former effort to
create a Section Seven local improve
ment district met failure when it came
up for hearing. That this effort will
succeed seems certain as nearly all of
the farmers interested have signed the
petition. Legal notice Of hearing
on the matter is published elsewhere
in this issue.

MRS. W. I. MANN
PASSES AWAY
Well known Highland Woman is
Called by Death Following
Long Illness.

Following an illness of more than
a year, Mrs. w. T. Mann passed quiet
ly away at her home on the Highlands
Saturday morning. Funeral services
were conducted at the home at 2:3O
O'Clock Monday afternoon by Rev.
Leonard K. Smith, former pastor of
st. PauPs Episcopal church. The
body was shipped for burial at the
Manns' former home in Wisconsin.
Up until Mrs. Mann became too i'll
to leave her home, she had been an ac-
tive worker in church, social and civic
organizations of the city and High
lands. In fact her death was undoubt-
edly hastened BY her faithful and
patriotic devotion to the Red Cross
during the war. In spite of her ill
health she became the vice president
Of the local Red Cross branch soon
after its organization and as such had
entire supervision oyer the work
rooms. She labored tirelessly and far
beyond her strength and gave up un-
willingly only after she had suffered
q complete constitutional break down.
Altho at times during the past year
she regained strength but little hope
had been held out for her recovery
and her passing was not unexpected by
members of the family and near
friends.
Mrs. Mann was born November IL,
1856 at Sun Prairie, Wisconsin where
she grew to womanhood. January 22
she was married to ". T, Mann to
whom two children were born, Edwin
III. and Dorothy, both of this city.
Besides her husband other relatives
who survive are her aged father, J.
M. Hayner, two. brothers Frank and
Uriah, two sisters, Mrs. Earl Cobb
and Mrs. Emma Berkenfine, all of
Sun Prairie and one sister, Mrs. Geo.
Meyers, Of Ashland, Wis.
Mrs. Mann was an active worker
in the OAR, being q direct decendent
Of John Alden who was one Of the
little band of Mayfowera Pilgrims.
She was a member of the Episcopal
church, the Eastern Star, the. Kenne-
wick and Highlands sWomen's clubs.
The Manns came to Kennewick
from Wisconsin nine. years ago and
their attractive home on the Highlands
is testimonial to Mrs. Mann's artist
ic taste and love Of the beautiful. Size
was graduate of the Art Institute
Fof Chicago and not only her own home
but other Kennewick homes are adorn-
ed with creations Of her brush beth on
canvas and china.
Her body was accompanied east by
her husband w. T. Mann and her
daughter, Miss Dorothy.

CELEBRATION
LACKS NOISE
But HAS HEART
Kennewick People Cease LabOrs
and Observe Anniversary
of Armistice
LEGION BALL is A WINNER
Large Crowd Goes TO PascO TO Wit
ness Football Came Between
Two High Teams.

While it lacked the spontaneity and
the noise of the celebration Of a year
ago when this community, along with
every other community in the U. s. A.
went wild with rejoicing over the
cessaction of hoetilities in the great
war, Kennewick's Arnistice Celebra-
tion Tuesday was from the heart. 1t
bespoke alike the community's Amer
icanism and its pride and appreciation
of those of it's boys who wore the uni-
form at home and abroad during the
war.
With only few days preparation
the committee in charge made no at
tempt to carry out an elaborate pro-
gram. Business, not only up in the
business section, but down on apple
row, was suspended and the town took
full holiday.
The special train which left the N.
P. station at 1:3O o'clock for Pasco,
drew crowd of about $50 people,
while scores went over ferry.
Upon the ar rival of the train in Pas
co the Kennewick celebrants, headed
by the boys of Robert w. Ely Post,
American Legion, lined up in parade
formation and marched up town.
While there was a general observ-
ance Of the holiday in Pasco, no pro-
gram was carried out and the chief
attraction Of the afternoon was
the football game between the
Kennewick and Pasco high school
teams. The teams were evenly matched
and the play fast and close enough 10
keep the crowd up on its toes from
start to finish. The, game was not lost
nor won until the final blast Of the
referees whistle. In touchdowns the
two teams were even with two each,
but the home boys won out thru Ken
newick's inability to kick goal, the a.
nal score being IA to ~.
The special brain returned to Ken
newick between FIVE and six o'clock
and the ex-service men went immed-
lately to the Congregational church
where they and their families were
the guests of the business men at dim.
'ner. Many Of the tOwnspeople came
also to the church to dine and mingle
with the soldier and sailor lads.
Following the dinner q parade was
formed at Second and Pacific streets
and marched to Washington street
near the canal bridge where two large
Victory bonfres were liKhted. Later
in the evening thss ex-service men
changed from the role Of guest to that
of host and entertained at an Armis-
tice Day dance in the X. OF P. hall.
Attendance at the dance brokE all
former records and while the floor
was too crowded for comfort IL was
a happy, celebrating crowd that STEP
ped on each others toes to the bois-
tarous offerings of jazz orchestra.
The hall was attractively decorat-
ed and all in all the social debut Of
Robert w. Ely post, American Legion,
was all to the good and greatly to the
credit Of the boys who planned and
managed the function.
In addition TO being a pleasant So
eial function the dance was a good
revenue producer and the treasury of
the post has begun to thrive as a re-
suit of the first setting up exercise.

LOCAL LEGION
MEN ARE ALERT
Members of Robert Ely Post De-
termined to Keep Kennewick
Free of Reds

The killing of four and wounding Of
three American Legion men in the
Armistice Day parade in Centralis
by members of the /. w. w. has arous-
ed the deepest Indignation of mem
bers of the local Legion post. Nc
sooner had the news of the Centralia
affair reached Kennewick than mem
bers of the local post became busy to
put themselves on. record as solidly
back of any movement to rid the
country of the "red" element.
Several of the Legion men called
upon Post Commander vickers at the
Commercial club luncheon Wednesday
and at their solicitation the following
telegram was Immediately dispatched
to F. r. jeffrey, state commander,
who is attending the national Legion
convention in Minneapolis:
#. r. jeffrey,
State Commander of Washington
sa American Legion; S
Robert Ely Post SS, State of Wash
ington urges you to bring before ma
tional convention the necessity of inn
mediate and drastic action by govern
ment against /. w. w. organization,
Reference shooting of American Le-
gion men in Centralia on Arnistice
Day. 81 I,
J.w. vICKERS, Post Com.
While sKennewick has been excep-
'tionally free from /. w. w. activities
and few red card men have ever lin
gered long in the community, mem
bers of the American Legion have ex-
pressed themselves as determined to
see to it that this community does not
become a red rendezvous. While no
official action has been taken by the
post, every member of the. Legion
since Wednesday has been on the alert
it teing feared that the raids in the
Northwest cities would have ten
dency to scatter the reds and drive
them into the rural communities.
