SHOW HERE
NEXT SATURDAY
If Kennewick Makes Good at
Robin Hood Other Travelling
Shows May Come

Ralph Dunbar's robin Hood" COM
pany which comes to the Liberty thea
tire Saturday night of this week, is the
same company that played in Pasco
last year when many Kennewick peo-
pie were in attendance.
"Robin Hood" is one of Americas
most popular comic operas and the
show as it will be given here is one of
the best that will come to the North
west this season. This company goes
from here to Seattle where they will
open weeks engagement at the Met
ropolitan.
The night in Pasco last year was an
experiment on the part of Mr.. Dun
bar. The experiment was successful.
The Pasco house was filled. This year
Mr.. Dunbar is trying the experiment
on Kennewick. Whether this city is
to get any more real shows will be
determined very largely by the size of
the audience which greets the "Rob-
in Hood" players Saturday evening.

TIME TO HIT
THE BALL FOR
LOCAL PROJECT
Moulton says Active Campaign
Should be Organized to Has
ten Irrigation s.n
THE COMMERCIAL CLUB ACTS
Kennewick High Line Project has Ad-
vantage over any Other in
Washington

According to M. M. Moulton now is
the time for Kennewick to "hit the
ball" for the construction of the Ken
newick Irrigation project. 49,.
At Wednesdays luncheon Mr.. Moul-
ton asked the Commercial club to in
augurate campaign to enlist the
support of the Commercial bodies Of
Spokane, Seattle, Tacoma, Yakima and
other Washington communities. He
said there was no hope that any mon
ey would be available for this project
from the last reclamation appropria-
tion. This carried an item Of $780,
600 for the Yakima project Of which
$S00,000 would be for new work
Owing to decreased revenues the rec
lamation fund has fallen away below
the estimates and there will be no
money available for new work.
Mr.. Moulton pointed out that for
the present the Columbia Basin pro-
ject is dead issue and it should not
be difficult to enlist the support Of
Spokane. He called attention to the
fact that there is not now building in
the state of Washington any irriga-
tion project and there is practically no
undeveloped irrigated lands on the
market in the state. To await the
slow processes Of ordinary reclamation
appropriations it will be years before
any new irrigated sections in the state
will be opened up.
The Kennewick project, he said, oc-
cupies unique position in that it is
ready for actual construction to be-
gin as soon as finances are available.
He predicted that within a few weeks
the irrigation district will have ac-
quired the rights to the water in the
Yakima river to be diverted at Pros
ser. Other uncompleted units of the
Yakima project and other proposed
projects in the Yakima valley, he said,
must await the further development
Of storage in the Yakima watershed
while the local project does not have to
be so delayed as its water supply is
from the return flow into the river
from the irrigated districts further up
the valley.
The project as it has been surveyed
in detail by the u. S. and the State
reclamation services comprises $4,000
acres Of high class agricultural lands
all Of which is within five miles of a
railroad, while the entire project is
almost entirely surrounded by i'm
proved land where agriculture and
horticulture is being successfully car
ried on.
Upon Mr.. Moulton's recommends
ton the governing board of the club
is holding special meeting this af-
ternoon for the purpose of naming a
committee to organize the campaign
as suggested.

TURN WATER OFF
OCTOBER FIFTEENTH
Irrigation Season to Close Mid
die of Next M0nth-Using
too Much Water Now

Water will be turned out of the Co
lumbia Irrigation District system on
Octhober 18th.
"This system is now carrying about
So per cent of the head carried in
August but it is doubtful if the farm
ers are making more than so per cent
use of what they are receiving" says
Manager Fred d. Pyle.
"a given quantity of water irri-
gates more land now than in August
and after the land is irrigated the
water remains in the soil much longer,
yet there are many places where ir-
rigators get water for twelve hours
in August and are now leaving it run
for twenty-four hours or longer thus
losing one-half the water.
"There are many other places where
they are irrigating nearly as often
now as during the hot summer sea-
son.
"All unnecessary water applied to
the land is a detriment to the land, to
crops and adds to the seepage prob
lens of the community which are al
ready very serious"

MAINLAND RUBBISH DUMPS
MUST BE DONE AWAY WITH
City Health Officer Orders Police to
Arrest all who Violate the
Health Rules

DR.. f. M. Crosby, city health officer,
says dumping of rubbish along the
mainland water front in the city limits
absolutely must stop.
One large dump has been started
near the end of Tacoma street and re-
gardless of the fact that the place
has been posted by the police depart
ment dumping here continues. DR..
Crosby advises haulers of rubbish to
haul their loads to the east side Of the
dry channel and dump near the island
"At this time of year these main
land rubbish dumps are not so much a
menace to health but next spring they
vii become fly breeders and disease
spreaders and they cannot be tolerat-
ed" said DR.. Crosby. "This announce
ment is to be considered fair warning
and in the future all who violate the
order will be arrested and prosecuted"

Big SQUAD OUT
FOR FOOTBALL
Kennewick High School Round
ing Team into Shape for
Pendleton Game
(By R. Warnock, II. S. Sporting
Editor.)

From twenty-five to thirty football
candidates are working out every
night in preparation for the first game
next Saturday at Pendleton. With
six letter men back the outlook is fair
for strong eleven this year, in spite
of the fact that the line will consist
of nearly all new men.
Witt, Bass, Mattecheck and Pangle
are fighting for positions at end on
the first team while Halliday and
Waters are playing at tackle with lit
tie opposition. The guards that are
showing up well are Elliott, Clodfelter,
Beste, and Richter. The position of
center is the hardest to fill as several
of the candidates for this place are on
the injured list. Winkenwerder, last
years guard, and Roy Johnson are
out for the season and Rasmussen is
out fer a while with minor injuries.
The backfield jobs are being contested
by Captain Waldorf, Hawkins, So
ward, Lawrence Johnson, Brink, An
'derson, Fraser, Terril and Stoops. 9th
er candidates that are showing up well
in practice are Broughton, Woods,
Holcomb, Bergman, Campbell and
Soth.
The first game at home will be
Friday, October 7th when the Sunny
side footballers will do battle with the
home team. Last year the Orange and
Black went down to defeat at the
hands of Sunnyside and the local boys
are out for revenge. This is going
to be hard fought game and the
team needs the support of every 10y
al citizen, so remember the date and
be out to boost for your home town.
Negotiations are under way for a
game with Yakima and big games will
be played with Prosser and Pasco.
We play Pasco on their field Armistice
day and return game is scheduled
here for Turkeyday. This promises to
be Kennewick's biggest year in foot
ball so don't miss the first game, FRI
day, October 9TH.

BURGLARS ENTER
CLOTHING STORE
Columbia Clothing Is Robbed of
Silk Shirts and Other
Wearing Apparel

Between the closing hour and mid
night Tuesday night burglars entered
the store of the Columbia Clothing
company and carried off merchandise
valued at more than $100.
The burglars effected an entrance
by breaking window in the wash
room at the rear of the store. The
missing articles include several silk
shirts, sweaters, neckties and other
small articles.
The burglary was discovered by
Special Policeman c. F. Devenney,
who was making the customary mid
night inspection of the back doors Of
the business houses. Manager A. ].
Copeland was Immediately summoned
by telephone and search instituted.
In the darkness the searchers thought
they detected tracks leading from the
rear Of the store to nearby rooming
house. Judge C. Staser was gotten
out of bed and search warrant is
sued.
A thorough search of the rooming
house, however, revealed nothing and
to date the police have no clue as to
the identity Of the robbers.
The store was entered while the
Kennewick Club, which occupies an
adjoining room in the same building,
was still open.
Rev. E. I. Mitchell reported to the
police this morning that his home had
been entered during the night. The
only missing article was Rev. Mitch
ell's watch, which he left on his study
table when he retired last night. This
the outside study door was

TEACHER HIRED
Large Number of Beginners Makes
Three Primary Divisions Necessary

of the school year the first

pupils into three primary divisions.
This has necessitated engaging anoth-
er teacher, Miss Margaret Mearns, of
Sunnyside, who will have charge of
the fifth grade at the high school re-
lieving Mrs. Lydia j. Mccormick for
the second grade. Miss Marian Nor
gan, who had charge of one division

to Evade Paying $500 Dam
ages, It Is Alleged
WOMAN EMPL0YE HURT

Submitting himself to bankruptcy In
New York courts in an alleged fraudu-
lent attempt to evade payment Of $500

ing in his shops, is the charge made
against Max Clair, manufacturer, 3213
WcsteOxford street. this city. ..'
Judge Barratt, Of Court Of Common
Pleas No. 2. has sent the case to the

vestigation.
The origin Of the case dates back to
November 10, 1911, when Mrs. Cath
crime n. Schock and her husband, Harry
J. Schock brought suit against Clair
to recover damages for injuries received
by Mrs. Schock while working for the
defendant. 1t appeared she was operat-
ing machine not safeguarded by the
appliances required by the act Of As
sembly and as a result her hair was
caught in the whirling wheels and she
was literally scalped.
Clair resisted the payment Of dam
ages, but the jury, which heard the case
u EtbIudEy 10, 1910, dWuIucu hIos
schock $500 damages and her hus-
band S1S24 to compensate him for the
loss of his wife's services and to pay
medical and other expenses incident to
the accident.
After judgment was entered by Court
No. on the verdict, Clair appealed
to the Supreme Court and on January
9. 1914, the appeal was nonprossed.
December ii Of the same year, still
with the purpose of evading the judg-
ment, il is alleged. Clair went to New
York and filed voluntary petition In
bankruptcy and was accordingly ad-
Judged a bankrupt.
James g. Wobensmith, representing
the injured woman and her husband
stated that neither the plaintiffs mol
their counsel ever had any notice ol
knowledge of the bankruptcy proceed
ings invoked by the defendant until sew.
eral years after they had been termi
mated and the defendant, Clair, had re-
ceved his discharge in bankruptcy
which he now sets up as a bar TO tn,
plaintiffs present proceedings to collec
their judgments.
