LONDON PAPERS
PRAISE TEDDY IN
MOURNING DEATH

LONDON, Jan. In discussing the
death Of Theodore Roosevelt. the Times
this morning says:
In politics. as in all else. he was
a vigorous, fighting man and dealt hard
blows. His opponents smarted under
them, but the most determined enemies
IN that field we're just as proud of him
as a great citizen as were the rest OF
the American peoples
He can not be ranked with the lofty
creative geniuses of politics, but his
name will go down among those Of
American presidents with something or
n character that attaches to the nane
Of Lincoln, az one who was a great
abiding force in morals as well as poll
tics. and who served his country with
unwearied earneStness aud zeal"
The Post says;
III Is not every voice that carries
across the Atlantic, but Roosevelt's did.
1t was listened to here almost as at
tentively as In America, and its famil-
lar, downright accents will be missed
The world can i'll spare its big men
now"
The Chronicle says.
History places some big things in
his record, hut bigger than any, per
haps, was the challenging impact OF
his personality on the world in which
"Wlth Roosevelt there disappears

Daily Mail. HE vas ever a fighter.
continuously challenging criticism, as
must a man whose primal quality Is
pure energy rather than pure reason.
We think of him as a man who also
made II great place IN the world by
dint Of his great and very American
qualities
The Daily Telegraph says:
I'm Roosevelt the world loses one of
Its elemental figures, one Of those who.
not more than twice or thrice in a
generation strike the imagination Of
mankind as personifytng to IL supreme
degree some human force at work on
history"
The DAILY Graphic says,
Theodore Roosevelt was nearly as
complete a man AZ car he imagined"

SHOWED UP WELL
In FAST COMPANY
Local Basketball Team Gave
North Central Close Rub for
Place in the Finals

Altho Kennewick's basketball team
did not bring home the bacon from the
state championship tournament at
Pullman they received the plaudits of
the home folks upon their return for
the excellent showing they made. They
got into the semi-finals and gave the
crack Nortl. Central high team of Spo-
kane close rub for place in the
finals.
In the first game Of the series the
local boys paired off against Chewelah,
and scored an easy victory, % to IL,
and incidentally rolled up the biggest
score made by any team in the tourna-
ment. Ward Johnson, center, starred
in the game, scoring half the total
points.
In the semi-fnals the Kennewick
lads took the lead over North Central
and held it up to the last five minutes
of play, but lost the game by mar
gin of five points, the final score being
21 to 16. In the finals North Central
lost the championship to the Pullman
five by score of 10 to Is.
The boys express themselves as well
pleased with their trip and have no
alibis to offer, as they made even a
better showing than they hoped to.
On the return trip they stopped in
Prescott Monday evening and lost the
game, 35 to "a.
The boys will close the season here
Saturday evening when they play
Walla Walla. While they have lost
one game to this team they hope to
be able to even the score with them
because of the advantage of their
home floor, which is smaller than the
one on which they played in Walla
Walla.

CITY JEWELLERS
MUST SPRAY TREES
Luke Powell Orders All Home
Orchards Sprayed or
Pulled Out

Henceforth the city bugs are going
to have nothing on the country bugs.
They have got to roll out of their
comfortable hunks and go up against
this lime-sulfur and arsenate dope just
the same as their country cousins.
Thus has Horticultural Inspector Luke
Powell decreed and to enforce that de-
cree he has sent his assistant, M. E.
Hazleton here with instructions to
clean up the towns orchards or force
the owners to pull out the trees.
The one old apple tree In the back
yard enjoys no more immunity under
the state law than do acres of trees
out in the country. Heretofore spray
ing regulations have not been clamped
down tight in town with the result that
all Mr.. and Mrs. San Jose Scale and
Mr.. and Mrs. Coddling Moth have had
to do to escape the law was to take
up residence in the city and keep
right on coddling. And with the city
feather-edging out into the country in
such manner as to render it imposs-
ible to tell where the city backyards
leave off and the country orchards be-
gin, the fruit grower has been handi-
capped in his efforts to keep his or
chard clean.
All city tree owners who wish to
save their trees and escape the wear
ing of blisters on their hands with a
hand spray pump can save both their
trees and their hands by hunting up
James Shepard, who has purchased a
spray outfit and will make specially
of city spraying.

ANOTHER DRIVE
FOR CLOTHING
Red Cross Has Again Heard Call
of Suffering Humanity and
Will Gather Clothes

The Kennewick branch of the Red
Cross has received letter from the
chapter headquarters announcing the
third drive for used and surplus cloth
ing for the distressed peoples of Eu-
rope, excepting the Central Powers.
According to authentic reports there
are hundreds of thousands of people
in the devastated countries who are
wanderers on the face of the earth,
with no homes nor facilities for MAX
ing clothing even tho they had the ma
terials. Consequently the need now
for clothing is greater than ever be-
fore and the demand that is being
made upon the American Red Cross
is just double that of the last drive.
The Yakima Valley chapter, of which
Kennewick. is branch, is asked to
furnish 20 tons. In the last drive Ken
newick furnished three tons and it is
hoped that this tonnage can be ex-
ceeded this time.
The drive is to start Monday of next
week, March "a. Altho details for
handling the local campaign have not
yet been worked out, insofar as pos
sible the soliciting committee will be
the same as in the last campaign. Ow-
ing to limited space it will be imposs-
ible to assemble the clothing in the
Red Cross rooms this time and an eff
fort is being made to get the use of
one of the vacant buildings on Second
street for that purpose. Regulations
regarding the kind. of clothing are the
same as before.

WATER FOR
IRRIGATION
APRIL THIRD
Farmers will Not Be Handicap
ped by Delay in Opening of
Irrigation Season
COST SAME AS LAST YEAR
Water will be Supplied to About
Thousand Acres of NOn-Water-
Right Lands this Year

The irrigation under the Kennewick
canal will open on April 3rd when
water will be available for all lands
along the main canal west of Kenne-
wick including the Highlands pumping
plant. Between the third and the
seventh water will be available for all
lands east Of Kenncwick except the
lower end of lateral on the extension
and lateral 2 below flume A. Water
will be available there on the 9Th or
9th. The charges for this year will
be the same as for last year. On
water right lands the charge for two
water rights will be $4OO per acre,
$500 Of which has already been paid
under the assessment made last year,
and the other $500 win have to be
paid prior to receiving additional
water.
sFor non water right lands the price
for the two water rights will be $4.O0,
so cents of which has already been
paid under the assessment made last
year. The balance Of the $4.00 per aero
will have to be paid prior to receiving
water. These assessments can be paid
at any time at the irrigation Office in
the Kennewick Hotel building and it
would facilitate matters considerably
if as much as possible Of these pay
ments were made before the beginning
of the irrigation season. as there is
no special advantage of delaying pay
ment if it is intended to take two
water rights out at any time during
the season.
The assessment for the next year,
the season of 1920, will be made on
December 1, so per cent Of which will
be payable before Dec. 81 and the
balance before April 1, 1920. The
amount of this assessment has not yet
been determined, but will be on the ba-
sis of estimated cost of operation, plus
interest on bonds. No assessment will
be made at this time for payment Of
building charges.
An attempt will be made to deliver
to limited amount Of land this year
not having a water right from the
Northern Pacific Irrigation company,
but on account of the enlargement and
reconstruction on the canal not being
completed this amount will have to be
limited to something less than 1000
acres and applications viii be ap-
proved in the order in which they are
received and when the limit of the
canal capacity has been reached we
will take no more applications fors
water for land without water right
this season. Next year water viii be
available for all lands in the district
and all lands viii be on the same ba-
sis as far as the ability to obtain wa
ter is concerned.

ing to Kidnap Own Children

James Harrakas, a Greek, was fined
one dollar and costs in Justice Staser's
court Tuesday morning for threats
against his family and an alleged at

ilys and to appear in the superior court
March 26 and show cause why the or
der should not be made permanent.

has not lived with her since last July
and in the meantime has only contrib
uted $40 to the support of her and
their three small children. He has
been working in Oregon and returned

Walla, where he was arrested and
Tuesday was brought here by Deputy

Attorney C. L. Holcomb was called.
Mr.. Holocmb contended that the de-
fendant had violated no law in at
tempting to obtain custody of his own
children in whom he had equal right
with the mother, but he advised his
cient to pay the nominal fine rather
than fight the case in the superior
court. fs
