FEEBLE MINDED
LAD AT HOVER
Escaped Inmate of State School
at Medical Lake Found
Down Valley

Albert Bell, aged 20, for six years
an inmate of the state custodial school
at Medical Lake, was picked up by
Deputy Sheriff Copeland and Chief Of
Police Jack Dale, at Hover, Monday.
The youth was taken to Prosser and
from there returned to the state
school.
The actions of the strange boy
aroused the suspicious of the Hover
folk, who notified the officers. When
taken into custody Bell freely admit
ted that he had escaped from the state
institution, but said he did not want
to go back because "they treated him
rough" ..
According to his story Bell walked
away from the institution Wednesday
evening and hoofed it down to Cheney
where he caught freight train. He
was first seen in Hover, Sunday morn
ing. He was unable to tell just why
he went to Hover instead of following
along the main line of the N. p. He
told the Hover people he was in search
of work and was given a job hoeing
corn on the Lee Powell farm. His
queer actions in the corn field led to
his apprehension. For several hours
he walked back and forth in one row
but never touched his hoe to the
ground.
The boys home is in Centralia.

ALEX M'NElLL
Is COMMISSIONER
DIR. H. M. French Resigns and
Former Commissioner Is +
" Named AS Successor

At called meeting of the county
commissioners Tuesday, Chairman II.
M. French rendered his resignation as
commissioner from the second district.
The resignation was accepted and
Alex McNeill, Prosser, was named as
DR.. French's successor.
After the oath of office had been ad-
ministered to the new appointee the
board reorganized by electing Com
missioner R. E. Pratt, the ranking
member, as chairman.
The new commissioner is well
known to the voters of the county as
he was formerly sheriff and served
two terms as county commissioner and
was a member of the board at the time
an attempt was made to put across
the rather famous McNeill- Clements
court house deal.
In speaking of the change friend
of DR.. French said: 81 trust the po-
litical enemies of DR.. French are now
satisfied. They have bounded, har-
rassed and slandered him until he has
given up his official position. DIR.
French isn't politician. He is a
busy business and professional man
who never wanted public office but
became a candidate under protest and
at the earnest solicitations of his
friends. The time he gave to the
county's affairs were given at sac
rifice to his own private business. We
now have in his stead professional
politician. ] trust the recall clam
orers are satisfied with their job"

LOST IN THE TWILIGHT
Kennewick Ball Team Can't Win
From Outsiders

Maybe it's the twilight; maybe it's
loafing; or it may be too downright
inferiority, but for some reason Ken
newick's league base ball team can't
win twilight games. Pasco has beat
them twice. Thursday of last week
Richland bumped them 6 to 3 and last
evening at Hanford the Hanford- White
Bluffs team set them down to a.
In the Richland game Kennewick
used three pitchers, Peterson, Kirk
patrick and Morain. At Hanford Pet
erson held down the mound for five
innings and J. kirkpatrick pitched the
last three innings.

OBJECTS TO MNARY BILL
r. X. Tiffany Says Western Reclama-
D tion Not Supported by
.- California -

Kennewick and other western points
should find at least two objections to
the endorsement of the McNary-Smith
bill, which carries appropriations for
reclamation work, according to r. X.
Tiffany of Spokane in letter to the
Commercial club.
The Western States Reclamation as
sociation, which is urging all western
states to request their congressman to
support the McNary bill, is not getting
the cooperation of California in its rec
lamation program for the west. This
is vital, according to Tiffany. He calls
attention to the fact that the McNary
Smith bill calls for the payment of in
terest on projects during the process of
construction which involves long per-
iods in certain western irrigation dis
tricts.

He insisted that the place to begin to
reduce national taxes is the reduction
of ornaments. This can be done thru
some sort of an association of the

TAYLOR LEADS
j THE RECALLERS
Heads Delegation Which Spends
Day in This District-Papers
! Not Filed

A party of recall advocates, headed
by E. w. R. Taylor, Of Prosser, spent
Tuesday in Kennewick and surround
ing country in an effort to arouse SEN
timent in favor of the recall of Com
missioners Pratt and French. During
the hours they were here the commits.
sioners met in Prosser, accepted the
resignation of Commissioner French
and appointed Alex McNeill.
1t is understood that one of the
purposes Of their visit was to get sig
natures to the charges which they
hoped to file against the two commits
sioners and to lay the foundation for
the recall petitions which are to fol
low the filing of charges.
Up until this morning no charges
had been filed with the county auditor.
The delay can be accounted for in the
fact that the resignation of DR.. French
necessitates some changes in the plans
of the recallers.
Mr.. Taylor, who headed the delega-
ton, is best known to people of this
end of the county as the man who pur-
chased the old court house building and
served notice on the commissioners to
vacate or pay $3.50 a month rent. Al
that time it was thought there was no
other suitable building available in
Prosser and the commissioners would
be forced to either pay the exhorbi.
tant rent or build a court house. II
was through the efforts Of Commits
sioner Pratt that a lease on the Gen.
trail Hotel building was secured. Since
that time Mr.. Taylor has passed up nc
opportunities to show his antagonism
to Commissioner Pratt.

KENNEWICK WINS
( FROM PROSSER
Kirk Does the Whirling and
Pitches Second ShutOut
Game This Year

Everett Kirkpatrick, better known
as "Kirk," who has played mostly on
the bench on the Kennewick base ball
team for two years, treated the fans
to an exhibition of real shutout ball
in the game here Sunday with Pros
ser.
At no time during the game was
Kirk ever in trouble and the official
score credits him with IL strikeouts
and debts him with only two hits,
one of which was scratch affair. For
six innings no Prosser batter got a
ball out of the infield and only three
times during the game was the sphere
heaved to the outer garden.
When the word that Morain would
be out of the game noised its way
along the sidelines gloom clouds arose
for local fans but as the goose eggs
began to form across Prosser's score
board the sun shone again and new
opinions were formed of Kennewick's
sub-pitcher. This was Kinks second
game this season and both have been
shut-outs.
The Kennewick boys played with the
same fighting spirit which has char
acterized their games since they first
hit their stride and broke into the win
column.
Next Sunday Kennewick plays in
Prosser.
In the first inning Wilson started
the ball rolling with single, going to
second on a wild pitch. Copeland
flew out to first. Willsey hit to third
who muffed it and then threw wild
allowing Willsey safe on first and Will
son on third, both scoring when La
Vera connected with the first ball
pitched him and drove out over right
center for three bases, scoring when
Gatchell singled.
In the second inning r. Copeland
hit one down the first-base line for
two bases and crossed the plate when
Kirkpatrick knocked one between the
shortstop's legs.
In the seventh Wilson led off with
single, went to third on Copeland's
sacrifice, and scored on Willsey's
fielder's choice to second.
JOY was brought to the hearts of
Kennewick fans this week when it be-
came known that Jeff kirkpatrick,
brother to our Kirk, had signed up
for the rest of the season. The new
Kirk has been playing ball in the
northwest for several years and has
been performing in pretty fast COM
pany. This year he has been pitching
for Ritzville and has lost only one
game. He will be ineligible to play in
any of the league games until July
10 but he will probably go into the
box against Pasco the Fourth.

LET US GIVE THANKS!

Let US give THANKS this Thanks
giving Day, Thursday, November "a.
With the close Of a years harvest,
and as we start upon the winter
months, when that which we have gar
nered must stand US in good stead, it
is but fitting that we pause for few
moments on the day set aside for that
purpose and give thanks to Him, who
knoweth all things, and has made our
harvest abundant.
The people of Julesburg and Sedg-
wick county will not lose sight of the
fact that while our country has pass
ed through year more or less dis
tressing insofar as labor is concern
benificently, and the proper proper
tions to make successful the efforts
of those whose duties keeps them close
to the soil. For those who have been
idle through no choice of their own,
those who have labored are sharing
their harvest. And as the clouds roll
away and the workers are once again
on a normal basis, it will be returned
in kind. We should be thankful that
drought and temptest has not destroy
ed, and that we live in a land big
enough, and broad enough and brainy
enough to keep going even when a
part of its people are forced into un-
employment.
All over the land there is something
to be thankful for, and here at home
we have much. From across the seas
comes the same sad stories of suffer
ing which were being waited to US one
year ago. True, conditions show an
improvement since arms were laid
aside, since swords were beaten back
into plowshares. And for this we are
thankful. But even when we COM
pare conditions there with our harvest
at home, we still have cause for thank
fulness. Living always in the hope of
a brighter tomorrow, America has
gone forward through the year, and
today finds herself not only at peace
with every other nation, but the CEN
ter of great conference out of which
may come some suggestion which will
do away with wars for all time to
come. Let US be thankful that what
ever good may come from such a
gathering America is to have the full
est measure of credit, since it was
suggested by an American and is be-
ing staged on American shores.
So, all in all, one thing measured
against another, We have much to be
thankful for. Let US. therefore, give
those thanks in an appropriate way
and let us not forget to continue
strong in our hope that the year to
come will bring to our sister nations
across the sea even more cause for
thankfulness than they, too, have ev-
er had.

FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT.

The subject of law enforcement is
one which commands the attention of
all law-abiding citizens, particularly
at this time when much is heard con-
cerning the so-called wave Of crime.
Not long ago a prominent prosecutor
of our state spoke in Sterling on the
subject of law and its enforc ement
The district court of Logan County
has just closed its criminal docket,
and the results obtained by the dis
trict attorney are worthy of comment.
Within two weeks eight cases were
tried to jury, during seven days
of actual work. In these cases the
jury returned verdicts of guilty in
four instances; two resulted in dis
agreements and two were acquittals.
In addition to these cases. there were
seven pleas of guilty entered by other
defendants. Out Of total Of six
teen cases, twelve were disposed of
either by pleas Of guilty or by YER
diets of the jury to that effect. and
but two cases remain to be tried again
on account of jury disagreements.
The record just referred to will
bear comparison with that of any dis
trict attorney in the state. District
Attorney Roy T. johnson has been
without a deputy or assistant in this
county, and he himself conducted the
trial of the cases. He is to be con-
graduated on the efficient manner
in which he handled the criminal dock
ct this term, and is entitled to the
commendation of all who desire to see
justice speedily, impartially and ef-
fectively Misunderstanding Eve
