OLD M. E. CHURCH
TO DISAPPEAR
Building is Being Dismantled
and will be Replaced by New
Modern Structure

The old M. E. church building at
Second and State streets which has
been a familiar landmark in the city
is being dismantled preparatory to
removal to the rear of the church's
lots where it will be given temporary
location. The tower and the side
rooms will be torn down but the build
ing proper will be left intact and used
for church purposes while the new
church is under construction.
As soon as the old building has been
moved excavation for the new $35, 200
institutional plant will be started.
While the financing of the new church
has not been completed the campaign
has progressed to that stage where the
new modern building is assured.

rolling and $4,000 worth of stock was
sold in few hours. 1t is the inten.
ton of the Yakima committee to pu.

for 81 900 worth Of stock.
Indications are that the campaign
will go over and that the bridge will

FARMERS COUNCIL HOLDS
MEETING AT FINLEY
Ranchers are Showing Lively Interest
in New Organization - Next
Meeting January %

The regular meeting of the Finley
Farm council was held at the Finley
school house, Wednesday evening.
The program consisting of number
of reading and orchestra selections,
was followed by san educational dis
cussion on the subject Of Artificial
Incubation" and was listened to by one
of the largest audiences ever assemb-
led at Finley. This is very satisfac-
tory to the officers and all interested
in the organization in view of the
fact that the council was only orga-
nized December 23d.
The council is strictly a non-profit,
non-political organization, its object
being to cooperate with the county
agent and state college in the spread
ing around of information on better
farming. 1t will also function as a
civic body in studying the needs and
questions of the community as a
whole. While it is named The Finley
Farm council its membership is by no
means restricted to Finley. On the
contrary its membership is open to
every one in the Kennewick valley.
There are no dues and no obligations
all that is necessary to become a
member is to sign your name to the
simple code of bylaws and the con-
stitution adopted at last nights meet
ing. ~ q &aEG liz
1t is our intention to bring speak
ers from the state college whenever
possible and at other times to have
papers read by various farmers who
have made a success of certain lines
of farming after which the meeting is
thrown open for discussion. The lit
erary program is also part of every
meeting. Owing to change in the
meeting night the next meeting will
be held Friday, January %, and every
two weeks thereafter. That meeting
will be devoted to subjects of inter-
est to every breeder and owner of live
stock in the valley and you will be
amply repaid if you attend.

CANNOT PURCHASE
FIRE TRUCK NOW
Voters will be Asked to Pass on
Bridge Proposition Feb
ruary 5

+ At its regular meeting on Tuesday
evening the city council decided that
the purchase of fire truck and other
fire-fighting equipment would have to
be delayed for several months, as the
present state of the city's finances
would not permit of two bond issues at
this time. -.
The question before the council re-
solved itself into a choice between two
necessities, the building of a bridge
across the irrigation canal at Second
street and the purchase of a fire
truck. The bridge was considered the
greater necessity of the two and the
fire equipment was laid over until
next October when some of the city's
outstanding bonds will be retired.
The ordinance officially calling the
special bridge bonding election was
passed and the date of the election
set for February 5. The bridge is to
be built jointly by the county and the
city at an estimated cost of $4,000.
In order that the necessary legal
preliminaries might be speeded the
county commissioners are this week
calling for bids on the bridge. The
bids are to be opened February or
two days following the bonding elec-
ton. In order that the bridge may
be completed before the beginning of
the irrigation season the. commission
ers will require the contractors to be
gin work as soon as possible after
the contract is let.
Machinery for the installation of a
new irrigation system was definitely
put in motion Tuesday evening when
the council gave notice of its inten-
tion of creating local improvement
district for that purpose. A public
hearing on the proposition will be
held the evening of February 8. Plans
for the proposed district are being
prepared by Fred Pyle, manager Of the
Columbia Irrigation district.
Several bids We're received Tues.
day evening for delivery of gravel to
the city for use on the streets. The
lowest bid was that of w. A. Smalley
who will be given a contract for ths
delivery of 200 yards at 80 cents q
yard OH the river bank and maxi.
mum of $1.35 on the city strets.

BOYS PRANK IS
NEAR TRAGEDY
Small Son Of Mr.. and Mrs. J.
III. Seigfreid is Seriously In
jured by Arthur Jacot

Bob Seigfreid, the eight-year-old
son Of, Mr.. and Mrs. J. II. Seigfreid,
has been critically i'll since Saturday
as the result Of injuries inflicted by
Arthur Jaeot, siXteen-year-old son Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur Jacot. The boys
condition became so alarming Monday
that DIR. A. j. Helton, Of Yakima,
was summoned for consultation with
DR.. A. j. Tullar, Of this city, but at
this writing the boy is reported TO be
out Of danger.
According to the story told by the
injured boy and his playmates, Bob,
his brother Joe, and the two small
sons Of Mr.. and Mrs. J.. II. Smith
were playing near their homes on
Second street Saturday about noon
when the Jacot boy came along. He
was carrying a rawhide and when
questioned by the smaller boys as to
what he intended TO do with it he
began to demonstrate its use by crack
ing il ASA whip and chasing the
younger boys. He then made a moose,
lassoed Bob Seigfreid and cinched the
rawhide so quickly and so tightly
around his victims waist that he was
unable TO, cry out. After being re-
leased the hoy made his way home and
at the time his mother did not con-
slider his injuries serious. Later in
the afternoon he became i'll and DR..
Tullar was called.
According to DIR. Tullar's diagnosis
which is confirmed by DIR. Helton,
the cartilage which hold the floating
ribs to the breast bone were torn
loose, the lower part of one lung was
injured and the liver was squeezed
almost to a rupturing point so as to
cause severe hemorrhages Of that or
gan. These hemorrhages which for
two days were very severe caused
considerable alarm but they have now
been stopped and it is thought that no
permanent i'll effects will come from
the injury.
