Among the interesting bills yet to be introduced in the assembly is one to make participation in the throwing of a baseball game crime, chasing it as conspiracy to bribe, and making the punishment the same as bribery. Such bill has been prepared in line with the efforts of the baseball magnets to keep the game clean. Charles Ja- cobson, director of the Little Rock Baseball Association, has pre- pared the bill which has the sane tion of all interested in this sport. It will make impossible a scandal in Arkansas baseball circles.
 Legislation regulating the banks will probably be a rare specimen m the legislative session. The present banking laws nave worked so sat isfactorily that no depositor in 8 state bank has lost cent in the past few years. A bank guaranty feature could give no better pro- tection to the depositors and it's operation would be so much more expensive that the legislators ap- preciate the value of the existing laws. The Arkansas banking laws were drawn with view of making bank failures few and far between, being a preventive more than a remedy, and should bank guaran- ty bill be now offered it's support would come from only the radical members and they are few in this session of the legislature.
 Under the caption, "A Bill to prohibit the sale of cigarettes to minors" a bill has been introduced in the Senate that has such strong educational features that it is sane toned by the Arkansas Public Health Bureau and is expected to

 The Little Rock Automobile show will be held in the early part of March, probably at the Hotel Ma rion. In order to make use of this building it is probable that large plate glass window and portion of the front of the ubliding will have to be removed in order to get the exhibits in and out as the present entrances are entirely too small for the passage of the large cars.
 One of the most interesting mem bers in the 43rd General Assembly is Senator Robert J. Wilson of Washington county, representing the Fifth District. Senator Wilson is the second oldest member of the upper house, being 70 years old. Senator Roddy of Woodruff county is Fl, but no man in either house has more extensive legislative service than Senator Wilson. He was first elected to the house in 1887 and is now entering upon his fourth term as a member of the Senate. He served in the General ASSemDly III loJ0-J0-5 J-IJO1-Uo. Another distinction is that he has never had an opponent.
 It was not generally known We'd nesday that when the oath of of- flee was administered to Governor McRae and other state officials by Chief Justice McCulloch that the officers took the oath of office upon a copy of the Rules of Con- gress instead of the Bible. 1t has not been explained just why there was no copy of the Bible available, but to all intents and purposes the oaths seemed to be as effective. 1t is probable that this is the first time that such thing ever occurred in the state, but since there is no constitutional requirement and the use of the Bible is only in accord ance with an established custom, it would seem that no complications will result.

SUNNYSlDE PLAYS
LOCALS FRIDAY
Business Houses to Close for the
First Home Game of Foot
Ball This Season

At Wednesdays luncheon the Com
mercial club voted to recommend to
the business houses that they close
Friday afternoon from 2:15 until af-
ter the football game between the
Kennewick and Sunnyside high school
teams. Secretary Whitehorn was re-
quested to call upon the merchants of
the city and ask that they close.
The clubs action was taken at the
request of Supt. Smith and Coach Kra-
lowec who urged support for the local
team.
Of Fridays game High School
Sporting Editor Ronald Warnock has
this to say:
The first game at home will be
played Friday when the local boys
meet the strong Sunnyside eleven in
what promises to be one Of the best
game of the season. Sunnyside has
played two seasons without meeting
defeat and expects to emerge victor
ious Friday. Their 10 to o victory ov-
er Toppenish indicates that they are
going strong again this season and
the Kennewick squad will have to play
real football to win.
The Orange and Black eleven has
been showing up good in practice and
strengthened by the return of Waldorf
and Shaughnessy, should give the Wis
itors hard battle. Richter, guard, is
out with minor injuries, but Seward,
backfield man, altho bothered by bad
knee, will probably play part of the
game Several A. S. B. members are
out each night patrolling the field
while Coach Kralowec takes the rough
spots off the attack in secret practice.
Tickets are on sale and a large at
tendance is expected as this will be the
first opportunity for local fans to see
the pigskin artists in action. The
business men will close up until after
the game, which will start promptly
at two thirty.
Byron Johnson, yell leader, is work
ing hard with the X. H. S. rooters and
promises some snappy yelling as well
as several features between halves.
With proper support from the town
the boys will give Sunnyside fight
they will long remember, so let's see
every loyal Kennewick booster out.

RUSH WORK ON
BRIDGE ACROSS
THE COLUMBIA
Union Bridge Company TO Build
Steel Highway Structure
for S426,900
TO WORK FROM BOTH ENDS
Engineers are Now Making Locations
for Approaches and Piers
Assembling Material

The Union Bridge company of Sc
attic was Friday awarded the contract
for building the steel highway bridge
across the Columbia river between
Kennewick and Pasco. Its bid, which
was the lowest of the four submitted,
was $426,900.
Charles G. Huber, president Of the
company, announced after the award
that work would be started on both
sides Of the river within ten days and
that every effort will be made to have
the crossing open to traffic in July
of next year. In carrying out this
prediction the company's engineers
are now at work making permanent
locations for the approaches and piers
and the work of assembling equipment
and material is now in progress.
While no definite announcement to
that effect has been made, the Cour-
ier-Reporter received information this
afternoon that construction headquar-
ters will be established in Pasco, but
that working camps will be maintain
ed on both sides Of the river.
The bridge has been financed by SUBJ
scriptions to stock. in the Benton
Franklin Intercounty bridge company
in the sum of 100000. Subscriptions
were secured in virtually every com
munity in the state along the route
of the Yellowstone Trail. In all there
are 1000 subscribers.
The bridge will be toll structure.
1t will be 1920 feet long on six piers
Of reinforced concrete and will require
995 tons Of steel, $50 yards of con-
crete and 100000 feet of lumber.
1t will be SO above the high tide of the
Columbia and will be strong enough
to sustain a concentrated load Of 40
tons on given spot. It will have
20-foot roadway clearance. 1t was
designed by M. M. Caldwell, chief en-
gineer of the Union Bridge company.
The contract for its construction
provides that the Union Bridge COM
pany is to accept stock in payment for
the amount of its bid in excess Of
$3.50 This leaves the bridge cor
poration in the clear, as sufficient
funds have already been raised to car
ry out the provisions Of the contract.
At Fridays meeting after the bids
were received, but before the contract
was awarded Mr.. Huber resigned as
director and president of the bridge
company. j. M. Crawford, general
manager of the Tum-A-Lum Lumber
company was chosen president and At
torney f. Grove, Of Walla Walla, was
elected director.
Other bidders were A. Guthrie e.
Co., or Portland, S430,000; r. j. Cam
eron, Seattle, S437, 900; and Illinois
Steel Bridge company, $438,000.

NEARLY TWO MILLION RECOMMENDED
FOR THE KENNEWICK HIGH LINE DITCH

The Kennewick High Line project
was advanced one step nearer the
realm of reality last week when the
acting director of the U. S. reclama-
ton bureau recommended that con-
gress vote loan of $9O,O0O,000 to the
fund for construction on
eleven western projects as part of
the national program to relieve unem-
ployment.
The directors recommendation spec
flied that s3,6O0,000 be allotted to re-
clamation work in this state, half of
which, or s1,sOO,OOO is to be expended
on the Kennewick project which he
says is one offering exceptional op-
portunity for development.

NEW SHIPPING TRACKS

The O-W. r. & N. railroad has just
completed two loading tracks down
railroad street to serve the fruit ware
houses. One of the spurs serves the
plant of the Yakima Valley Fruit
Growers association and the other the
plants of the Cascade Packing comp
any and Pennington & Company. The
new extentions affords these houses
direct shipping facilities over two
roads. At the request of the Kenne-
wick-Richland Fruitgrowers company
no track was laid along their ware
house.

OPTIMISTIC in
SPITE OF STRIKE
Kennewick Fruit Shippers Re-
fuse to Worry About the
Railroad Situation

In spite of a car shortage and an
impending railroad strike, spirit OF
optimism prevails along Kennewick's
apple row. Shippers generally are of
the opinion that the strike will be
averted or that if it does come it will
be of short duration.
None of the local agents has YET
received any notification of an en-
barge on outgoing freight shipments.
This is regarded as hopeful sign and
an indication that the railway execu-
tives areSof the opinion that the strike
will not materialize.
While the car shortage continues
enough REFERS have been supplied
local houses to prevent tie-up in any
of the packing plants. In only few
instances has it been necessary to use
box cars to keep the apples moving.
Except in a few orchards the apple
crop has been harvested and is rapidly
being put under shelter. Weather has
has been ideal since picking started
there has been little or no loss from
wind or other storms. The Winesaps
are running exceptionally large and
on the whole buyers and shippers
consider the crop one of the best and
biggest Kennewick has ever produced,
If worst comes to worst and ship
ments are suspended it is thought that
most,if not all, of the local apples can
be gotten into dry storage and unless
the strike is prolonged, extending over
into the cold weather, it can be wealth
cred without any serious loss to Local
producers.

HORNBY'S ASHES
ON COLUMBIA
Eccentric Highland Rancher Re
quests that Mortal Remains
Be Given to River

At his request the ashes of c. F.
Hornby, Highland rancner, who died
last night, are to be strewn upon the
waters of the Columbia river.
Mr.. Hornby was an eccentric and for
eleven years has lived the life of a
recluse on his little 5-acre orchard
home on the Highlands. He wanted
nor made but few friends and with
the exception of F. R. White, no neigh
Dor shared his condolences nor learned
anything of his former life. 1t was to
Mr.. White that the strange request
for the disposition of his body was
made.
He was 76 years of age and ma
tive of England. He came to the Pa
louise country forty years ago and in
1909 purchased tract on the High
lands where he has since made his
home. His home overlooked the Co.
lumbia and during the lonely years he
came to hold sort of mystic COM
munion with the great river, hence
his request that his body be cremated
and his ashes fed to the flowing wa
ters.
The aged man had been in i'll health
fused to receive medical treatment
eor several months but steadfastly re-
and keenly resented any reference by
his neighbors to his infirmities. On
Wednesday morning M. G. Clark, who
has been taking care of his place,
found the doors of the little house
locked and the windows barred. When
there was no response to his repeat
ed knocking Mr.. Clark forced an en-
trance and found Hornby unconscious
on the floor. He was Immediately
brought to the McGregor hospital and
given medical treatment.
As far as is known Mr.. Hornby has
no living relatives.
Funeral services will be conducted
at the Mueller parlors this afternoon
at o'clock and the body will be sent
to Spokane tonight for cremation.

This sum, the director points out,
will be sufficient to build the diver
sion works at Prosser, the power canal
and the turbine pumping plant at
Chandler.
Whether this recommendation will
receive favorable action nobody knows
1t is expected that the matter will be
formally introduced in the house with
in short time and there is posi-
biltiy that favorable action may be
taken before the end of the special
session. If not, the biennial budget
of the reclamation service which will
come before the regular session will
again carry recommendation for an
appropriation for the local project.
