ENJOYABLE RECTAL

The vocal, violin and piano pupils of
Mrs. T. B. Hopkinson gave an enjoy
able recital in the M. e. church Sat
urday evening. The class, which is
made up of Kennewick, Pasco and
Richland children, gave proof Of the
ability of their instructor. The pro-
gram was well arranged and present
ed in manner that was thoroly en-
joyed by the audience, which filed the
church. Especially praiseworthy were
the selections from Miserere and the
march from Tannhauser rendered on
the violin by Marion Masters and the

. Norman Lynch, who received his
discharge from the army short time
ago, is. visiting Kennewick friends.
1t was just about year ago that
"Bud" and Earl Anderson @cut" the
last few weeks of school and enlisted.
After leaving KenneIicK they hardly
stopped until they were overseas and
in the big scrap. They were in the
same field signal company but were
assigned to different regiments. Bud
saw his first fighting at Ypres last
spring, was mixed up in the KENNEL
Hill scrap and was there when the
Hindenburg line was broken on the
Cambrai-St. Quentin sector. Afer the
arnistice was signed the battalion was
reunited and sent home. Earl, how
ever, remained in France TO attend ono
of the A. E. F. schools. Soon after
enrolling he was taken IN and now ex2
poets to come home soon.

GROSSCUP BUYS
THE TULL CORNER
Yakima Valley Rancher May
Build Modern Business Build
ing in Kennewick i

One of the largest deals in city real
estate in Kennewick for several years
was closed the last of the week when
T. A. Warnock sold the Tull corner
at Second and Yakima streets, to
Thaddeus Grosscup, manager of the
Yakima company's large ranch near
Richland.
The Tull property, which has a
frontage of rs feet on Second and 14O
feet on Yakima, has long been con-
sidered one of the most desirable bus
mess corners in the city. 1t is unim-
proved except for the small frame
shuiIding occupied by the Columbia
Clothing Company. The deal was for
cash, but. the consideration was not
made public.
Mr.. Grosscup does not expect to
give up farming but purchased the
properly as an investment. He is now
negotiating with prospective tenants
and if satisfactory leases can be ar
ranged he, will probably soon begin
the construction of modern business
building. -
Mr.. Warnock also reports the sale Of
the w. H. Mather property at Tacoma
and Third streets. The purchasers,
however, request that their names be
withheld for the present. The proper
ty consists of seven and fraction lots
fronting on Third.
Acreage sales reported by Mr.. War
mock are the Russell Monroe ten acres
and the Sam Stebbins 10 acres in the
Valley to A. Hudson, of Tacoma. Mr..
Hudson later resold the Stebbins ten
to Mr.. Warnock.

tion, Mr.. Mattecheck said that as yet
the community has done nothing to

national holiday but of extending an
official welcome home to all the boys
who were called to colors. His state
ment brought hearty endorsement
from every man present. Even L. E.
johnson, who seldom gets very en-
thusiastic about anything, said, eve
will make the old eagle scream as he
never screamed before"

SAYS COLUMBIA
WILL BE NAVIGATED
Chamber of Commerce Secretary
Says Portland is Determined
to Put Boats On

At the request of the Portland
Chamber of Commerce, the Kenne-
wick Commercial club has voted to In
tervene in case which the CONNER.
cial interests of Portland have brought
before the interstate commerce COM
mission to compel the railroads to re-
cognize the economy Of water level
haul in freight rate making.
Portland claims that mileage is not
a proper basis for rate making in
cases where there is wide divergence
in the cost Of transportation over twd
routes. They claim, for instance. that
the per-mile rate from the Inland EN-
pire should be much less down the
Columbia than it is over the mountains
to Puget Sound points.
Kennewick's intervention followed a
visit to this city last week of Secre-
.tary Dodson, of the Portland Chamber
of Commerce. While we do not expect
any sweeping reductions on freight
rates down the Columbia; even if we
win, our case, it seemed advisable to
bring the action at this time, inasmuch
as the government in its operation
of the. railroads has recognized the
greater economy of water level haul,
and we wish to have the interstate
commerce commission to give official
recognition to this principle.
Cheap freight rates from Inland
Empire points to Portland are not go
ing to come from government regula-
ton of the rate-making machinery Of
the railroads, but from the navigation
of the Columbia" said Mr.. Dodson.
"And the Columbia is going to be nav
igated. We, at Portland, are deter
mined on that AT the last session of
the Oregon legislature the powers of
the Port Of Portland were SO enlarged
and extended that we can now sub
sidize or own and. operate our own
boat lines If we see fit. The personnel
of our port commission has been al
tered and now includes some of Port
lands livest and most progressive
business men. We are going to nayi-
gate the Columbia. but we are not
going to. start until we are prepared
to give satisfactory ( service to shippers
and make river nayiration an unuual.
