SALESMAN WALKS BRIDGE
AND MEETS HIGHWAYMEN
Two Unknown Men Relieve Sunday
Night Pedestrian of all of
His Cash

Twelve dollars is the price which
L. Camp, travelling salesman of Port
land, paid to two highwaymen for
the privilege of walking the N. p.
railway bridge between Pasco and
Kennewick, Sunday night.
The salesman, who was headed for
Kennewick preferred to walk the
bridge rather than wait in Pasco an
hour and a half for train. Soon
after he reached the Kennewick side
two men rushed up the embankment
and ordered him to "stick 'em up"
They relieved him Of his pocketbook
but returned it together with several
checks, keeping only the cash. The
robbers made no attempt to take the
mans watch or other valuables.
As soon as he arrived in town the
salesman reported to Chief of Police
Jack Dale, who in company with Dep
uty Sheriff Copeland visited the scene
Chief Sullivan, of Pasco, was notified
and stationed guard at the other enc
of the bridge while the local officers
secured the river shore in the vicinity
of the holdup. No trace OF the rod
bers was found. ..

MERCHANTS SAY NEW -
CREDIT PLAN WORKS
Larger Percentage of Bills Paid Dur
ing First Five Days of May
Than Usual

While it is yet too early to place
definite estimate upon the workings
of the new thirty-day credit plan in
augurated by the Kennewick Mer-
chants association, there are indica-
tions that the new rule is bringing de-
sired results. For the most part local
merchants report that more accounts
have been paid since May than in
any other like period for several
years. All April accounts not paid by
May 10 become delinquent and credit
to all delinquents will be shut off on
the following day.

LAY CORNERSTONE OF
NEW CHRISTIAN CHURCH
Large Crowd in Attendance at Sunday
Ceremonies Conducted by the
Christian Church

1t is estimated that fully one hun
dred people were turned away from
the doors of the crowded Christian
tabernacle Sunday afternoon when the
cornerstone of the Christians new
church home was laid. The afternoon
services We're attended by townspeo-
pie of all, denominations and in the
audience were many visitors from
neighboring towns and cities.
The days ceremonies were started
in the morning at the usual service
hour when Rev. A. r. Liverett, pas
tor of the Central Christian church,
Walla Walla, occupied the pulpit. The
afternoon address was delivered by
DR.. A. M. Meldrum, president of Spo-
kane University, DR.. Fl. Gordon Ben
nett, who assisted in the ceremonies
remained in the city for short series
of evangelical sermons.
At the laying Of the cornerstone of
the new church official greetings
from the city of Kennewick Were ex-
tended by Mayor H. w. Desgranges,
who said:
"The laying of the cornerstone for a
magnificent church building such as
this is designed, is an occasion for re-
joicing, not only for the congregation
but for all good people of the COM
munity.
"Differ as we may on the non-es-
sentials which divides the Christian
peoples into the various denomina-
tions or whether we have no religious
beliefs, the fact remains that the
church is the cornerstone Of our civil
lization, and any act which strength
ems this structure is cause for general
rejoicing.
"We often hear the question asked:
What is the matter with the people
that they do not attend church, This
church seems to have found partial
answer by considering the question in
the NEGATIVES: what is the matter
with the church that the people do not
attend?' The world is starving for
spiritual food. Often, too often, the
hungry soul that wends its way to
church in search of the bread of life,
is offered but stone.
"May / express the hope that the
Gospel that shall be preached from
this pulpit shall be the simple truths
of the Bible as taught by the Savior
when here on earth, unchanged and un-
tainted with political or social intrigue;
Gospel which shall make men, men
seven days in the week, and shall fill
women's hearts to overflowing with
the spirit of the Golden Rule, then will
this auditorium be filled to capacity
and this church become power for
good.

with you. III. as~s

CLUB WOMEN MEET
in GRANDVIEW
State President Gives Interesting
Talk on EducatiOn-Large
Attendance

The semi-annual meeting of the Yak
ina Valley District Federation of
Women's clubs in Grandview last Sat-
urday was largely attended by club
women from all parts Of the Yakima
valley.
Much of the days program was de-
voted to the development of the gen.
eral theme of Americanization. The
clubs plan Of Americanization is di-
vided into the following four depart
ments: Education, health, industrial
welfare, community service.
The clubs were urged not only to
study the subject Of Americanization
but to do all they can to develop the
movement.
Child welfare was another point
made. Hygiene is the foundation of
the coming nation. The United States
is the fourteenth in child mortality.
New Zealand leads the world. In
speaking of the Sheppard -Towner bill
statesman has remarked: "It is not
an expense; it is not an extravagance;
it is an investment" 1t was also said,
s'It looks as if the women of America
are to do the legislation"
Mrs. Griswold, of Seattle, spoke on
Industrial Conditions. She said indus
trial worlsets not on club programs in
general. Club women should have
knowledge Of industrial conditions.
Public opinion is formed in women's
clubs.
Mrs. Wells, of Spokane, is chairman
of industrial welfare. Mrs. Kern
spoke on Education. She disproved
two falacies: First, that we spend
great deal on education; second,
our educational system is something
to be proud of. In 14O years $14,OOO,-
600, 900 has been spent on education
In two years $21 ,OOO, 100000 was spent
killing Germans. In 1920 $22,7OO..
OOO, 900 was spent in luxuries; $s,O0O,.
600, 900 more than was spent on edu-
cation in 100 years.
In 1920, $1,S1O,O 100000 more than
for education blew up in smoke in the
form of tobacco. The tax showed that
women spent ssO0,0O0,OO0 on paint
and powder.
/ People spend more on luxuries than
on educating their children. Jakey's
father asked: "How many is two and
two?" Said Jakey, 'Two and two arc
five" "Now, Jakey, you know two
and two are not five. Two and two
are four" "Oh!" said Jakey, II know
two and two are four, but I knew yor
were going to jew me down." az
So we have been saying two ane
two are five about our education.
/ In going down the long line o,
school teachers we go four-fifths dowr
the line before we reach teachel
who has had any professional training
at normal schools. The state of Wash
ington now stands sixth where eigh
years ago it stood first. 81 per CEN

|lL|PAH PETS NEW
WELL Down 416 Fl.

j. Z. Amenda, manager of the Hi
pah Petroleum company, arrived
home last week from a visit to Phoebe
and other towns in the southern por-
ton of the State, where he met with
substantial encouragement in his en-
terprise from citizens of that section,
says the Ely Record. Immediately
upon his return he visited the COM
panys property at Illipah, and re-
ports that the new well which was
spudded in August % had reached a
depth Of 416 feet on Tuesday last, and
that RUDE Kerr, who is in charge of
the drilling. has laid a wager of $50
that it will reach a depth of 1000
feet within thirty days from date.
The drill is now on the beam and
has separate lines for casing and bail
ing, which proves a great saving of
time, and as two shifts working
twelve hours each are employed, Mr..
Amenda is of the opinion that the
regular oil sands will be reached by
October Is. The new we'll, according
to Mr.. Amenda, has already passed
through the first oil sands, which
showed gas pressure and slight seep-
ages of oil, but as the well is being
cased as it goes down this is not
noticeable. The derrick has been in
creased to the standard size. which
adds considerable additional power
to the tools, hence the work Is pro-
crossing rapidly.
