BRIDGE INJUNCTION
RUMOR is A JOKE
Commissioner Pratt Says Bridge
Franchise Ante-Dates that
of the Ferry

County Commissioner R. E. Pratt
characterizes the reported attempt
of the Kennewick-P -Pasco ferry own
ers to tie up the highway bridge
opening as a joke.
It has been rumored that the fer
ry owners will ask for an injunc-
ton to prevent the bridge from ac-
cepting traffic on the ground that
the ferry holds an exclusive IRAN
chise for crossing traffic at this
point on the river.
seIf anybody has any prior rights
at this point on the river said Mr..
Pratt at is the bridge company.
The records win show that the
bridge company's franchise ante
dates the ferry franchise. At the
time the present owners purchased
the ferry from Mr.. Gavin the old
franchise went out Of existence and
q new one was granted. The fran
chise for the bridge had been grant
ed prior to that time

NO INCREASE
IN SCHOOLS
Opening Enrolment Near
Seven Hundred Mark
Same as Last Year

Kennewick's school entered the
second week of the fall term with .
total enrolment Of 686 Of which
500 are in the grades and 1856 in
the high school. The total enroll
ment shows but little change from
the number reporting during the
fit week last year but the high
school student body outnumbers
that at the beginning Of last years
term by about 25.S
ENROLMENT in the several grades
is about the same as last year with
the exception Of the primary grade,
which is not nearly so large.
The maximum enrolment last
year was 800 and it is predicted
that the total will be equalled this
year but there is little probability
Of any material increase over that
number.
Z supt. Lynn H. Smith is well
pleased with the manner in which
school is getting under way. Ev-
cry teacher reported for duty open
ing day and all classes were or.
ganized without delay or interup.

ARE ACTIVE
Kennewick battle-ground
During Closing Days
Of Campaign

With the primaries but few
days away, Kennewick and the sur
rounding country has become the
battlefront Of the candidates. The
warmest fight is centering around
the office of county sheriff. All
three of the aspirants for the re-
publican nomination were in the
city today. This was L. L. Cases
first visit here during the cam
paign. He was accompanied by his
brother, u. S. Case Both Bob
Lord and James Shepherd have
been actively campaigning and .
number Of their friends are active
in their hehalf. Lord has the ac-
tive support of Sheriff Z. G. Rolph
and Deputy C. E. Copeland, while
former Sheriff C. E. Duffy and
former deputy E. L. Baxter are
active workers for Shepherd. It
is conceded that the race between
these two men will be close.
E. o. Keene and E. L. Stewart,
republican candidates for auditor,
have swapped territories. Keene
has been in the Prosser district for
several days and Stewart will spend
the rest Of the week in and around
Kennewick. Ben Rupert, the third
candidate, hasn't been in Kenne-
wick for some time.
E. o. Rice, republican candidate
for assessor, is visiting Kennewick
for the first time since declaring
his candidacy. Mr.. Rice says he
is not making an extensive cam
paign because he feels that to do
so would be taking an unfair ad-
vantage of his opponent, Harry
Forsyth, who is too i'll to meet the
voters. Mr.. Forsyth has been n
poor health for some time.
Representative M. NJ. Mouitor
is making no campaign.
The polls for the primary cleo
ton will open at the customary
places next Tuesday morning al
eight o'clock and will remain oper
until eight in the evening.

JAMES DENIES
GAS STORY
Says Penn-P Pacific has Not
Acquired Control of
Benton Co. Wells

Henry D. James, local manager
of the Walla Walla Oil. Gas & Pipe
Line company, who has returned
to his home in this city following
an absence Of several days, says
his company has absolutely no con-
nection with the Penn-Pacific Oil
company the organization of which
was announced through the Port
land Telegram recently.
Mr.. James says the report that
the PENN Pacific company has Sc
cured control of the gas wells in the
Rattlesnake Hills field is errone-
Gus. The Walla Walla company
owns or controls all of the pro-
ducing gas wells in this field and
this company, Manager James says
has no business dealings of any
kind with the Penn-Pacific Oil
company.
Mr.. James says his company has
negotiations pending for piping the
gas from their several wells t.
Kennewick and that when these ne
gotiations are closed up public an
nouncement will be made from thu
company's head Offices in this city
and not from Portland, Seattle OF
Spokane.

HUNDREDS AT
sY" OPENING
Large Crowd Visits New
Plant of Fruitgrowers
Association

The new cold storage plant of
the Yakima Valley Fruitgrowers
association may oftimes be filled
from bottom to top with apples,
pears and peaches, but it will prob
ably never again be as full of peo-
pie as it was last Saturday night
when it was formally opened. 1t
is estimated that fully 1900 people
visited the new plant during the
evening.
The plant is one of the most mod
ernly equipped storage and pack
ing establishments in the North
west and the people, not only of
this community, but from all parts
of the valley showed their appre-
citation of the Big "Y'sn enterprise
by becoming the guests Of the build
ers during the evening.
Doors were opened at 7:30 and
hundreds of visitors had been
shown thru all departments Of the
plant before a short musical and
speaking program arranged by the
Commercial club was started. H.
w. Desgranges, acting in the dual
role of manager of the plant and
mayor of the city, introduced c.
H. Swigart of Yakima, general
manager of the association. Mr.
Swigart told the people that the
opening of this plant was but the
first step toward the realization OF
one of the goals of the fruitgrow-
ers association, that of one of the
largest cold storage plants in the
Northwest at Kennewick. The pres
ent plant, he said, is but the first
unit and others will be added as the
fruit tonnage increases.
The program was followed by
dancing in the large storage room
on the second floor. Cantaloupes
a la mode were served during the
evening.

Plan to Open Thorofare
Between Second and
Front Streets
MOST OWNERS FAVOR
THE PROPOSITION
Change will Give Better
Railroad Facilities on
Front Street

The proposition of opening a
new street between Second and
Front extending from Pacific to
Washington has been taken up
Jointly by the Commercial club and
the city council.
This question has been discussed
at various times in the past and at
one time the Commercial club ac-
lively undertook to put it thru but
later the effort was dropped. At
a recent meeting the Commercial
club appointed a committee headed
by Chester E. Edwards to confer
with the city council. When the
matter was presented to the council
at the regular meeting Tuesday
evening every member present
voiced his approval of the proposed
street and the public Improvement
committee and the city attorney
were instructed to cooperate with
the club in working out plans for
putting it thru.
The object sought is to provide
the city with one more business
street and at the same time afford
better railroad facilities along Front
street which is becoming more and
more a shipping street.
AS proposed the new street will
connect with Kennewick avenue
on Pacific and extend southeastern
! ly, intersecting Washington at the
alley in the rear of the Emigh-
Howe building. A street 78 feet
in width can be put thru without
much damage to permanent inn
provements. The greatest damage
will be to Pedersen's Groceteria
and the White House Service Sta
tion, both of which are located di-
rectly in the line Of the new street.
These are the only buildings that
would have to be moved.
If the improvement is made
Price g. Lincoln's store and other
buildings along Front street could
be remodelIed so as to face on the
new street, while railroad tracks
could be built along Front street
SO that cars could be loaded or un-
loaded directly into or out of these
buildings in the rear. Railroad
facilities could also then be fur
nished the Grange Warehouse.
Chairman Edwards reports that
members of his committee have in
terviewed nearly all of the proper
ty owners along the proposed street
and the only objector found so far
is E. r. Carnahan, proprietor of
the Front Street blacksmith shop.
Mayor Desgranges says two
methods of meeting the expense of
opening the street can be employ
ed. One is by the creation of a
local Improvement district includ-
ing the property along the propos-
ed street or the expense can be
made a general obligation of the
city.

TURN WATER
FROM CANALS
If Weather is Favorable
Water will be Turned
Out Tuesday

If weather conditions are favor
able water will be turned out Of
the Columbia Irrigation canal next
Tuesday night, September IL, for
the purpose of again killing the
water weeds.
In announcing the shut down
Manager w. C. Muldrow says:
while full deliveries are still be-
ing made-thanks to cool weather
the water stands at the high
est level ever carried in the canals
and we are inviting a break every
day.
"a few days of warm weather
would run our deliveries short at
the lower end.
"Seepage also is far worse when
the water stands high on the
banks. A check of the weir records

GOOD GAMES COMING
Kennewick High Has Heavy Foot
ball Schedule This Year

The K. H. S. pigskin fans are
looking forward to a heavy sched-
ule. On the list are Yakima, Wal
la Walla and Pendleton, three OF
the strongest teams in the south
eastern part of Washington.
Prospects are bright, neverthe-
less, for successful season, be-
cause eight letter men are back and
over a dozen hard-working scrubs.
Most of the positions are likely to
be filed, the only doubtful one be-
ing that of quarterback, which
was left open by the graduation OF
"Speed" Waldorf.

SHOW
PACKS HOUSE
Mrs. Rodgers Style Event
Brings People From
Many Localities

Mrs. D. G. Rodgers' annual Fall
Fashion show filled the Liberty
Theatre to capacity Wednesday
evning., Not only was every seat
in the lower floor and balcony tax
en- but I number stood in the foy-
ers during the performance.
with = well arranged program
Mrs. Rodgres succeeded not only in
very atrractively displaying the
latest creations in ladies' and chill
dren's wearing apparel but IN
bringing together nearly two score
Of the Columbia Valleys charming
misses and young matrons and in
presenting some Of the valleys best
musical talent.
In the selection Of both models
and musical talent Mrs. Rodgers
went beyond the limits Of Kenne-
wick and brought here young lad
les from Richland, Pasco, Finley,
Hover, White Bluffs, Hanford and
Benton City.
The fashion show was staged in
four acts the first Of which was de-
voted to an exhibit Of the new fall
stvles in millinery. This was fol-
sloved by q revue Of "Modes OF the
Moment" in which were presented
the most popular creations IN coats
capes. suits and dresses. Features
which appealed most strongly to
the audience, especially the femin-
inc audience. were the exhibitions
Of afternoon dresses and dance
frocks.
To the innocent bystander, the
show brought home conviction tnat
short skirts and bright colors are
IN the minority among milady's
frocks this fall. Skirts are once
more getting in hailing distance OF
shoe-tops and the colors nave staI..
ed to fade out Of the fashion plates
and modest blacks, browns ano
blues are once more predominant
Altogether the show was q mos'
creditable affair and one tna'
would be worthy of city shop.
Between the fashion acts there
were some exceptionally fine en-
tertainment numbers, by Mrs. A
M. Chellis of Richland, Miss Jessie
Maxfield of Pasco, Miss Elizabeth
O'Neil of Benton City, Misses Mar,
Harvey and Lulu Moulton, Genevs
Broughton Of Kennewick, and little
Dorothy Warden Of Pasco. Instru
mental music was furnished by ths
Del Monte Four while Mrs. G
Brunn of Kennewick and Miss Nc
Bean of Benton City. were accom-
paniests for the soloists.

Pleasing And Enjoyable En-
tertainment.

"The Microbe IF Love" the mu-

The play was snappy and full Of
pep and the cast of characters, AZ

Miss Wrenne Hopkins, was most
ably and Interestingly presented.
Each and every one taking part did
exceedingly well and deserve praise
for their cleverness and most excel

Water Valley business men.
The gin plant and lot containing
about two acres Of ground is located

in the county.
The new firm is composed of the
following well-known Water Valley

yer and J. w. Thorne. The new
firm have taken possession Of the
plant and Manager Kelley is busy
getting the machinery in first class
order for early operation.

Miss Kearney entered the race,
think, because she wanted to eliminate
factional politics in the state, to unite
the people. But it seems now that
factional lines are drawn more close
ly than ever before and if we support
either candidate we cannot eliminate
factions.
81 think now we should consider
the man. And / hope all of Miss
Kearney's supporters will consider
that we are not supporting either fac
ton, but we have two men in the con-
test and we must consider their rec.
ords.
"Up to the time when Mr.. Ste
phens entered the race ! knew moth.
ing of his record and doubt whether
had ever heard of him before. But
I know him now and know his rec
ord. also know Senator Vardaman's
record. After considering the two
men and their records / shall support
James X. vardaman for United States
Senator!
"The women of Mississippi will
never forget Mr.. Stephens opposed
woman suffrage and those measures
in which women are mostly interest
ed. Senator Vardaman has always
supported every measure dearest tc
woman, woman suffrage and prohibi-
ton.
"Miss Kearney is woman OF very
broad mind and desires that everyone
vote their honest convictions, and
am therefore with you, the friend OF
Senator James X. Vardaman and the
friend of Mississippi until we have
crossed the last ditch and the last
gun has been fired in the battle o.
ballots"
Mrs. Clark was elected assistant
manager of the vardaman campaign
committee.
The north Mississippi herald., 1922-08-25

"After discussion, the following
resolution was adopted:
Resolved that the committee is to
meet the representatives of the train
and engine service brotherhoods
again and state to them that the
railroads adhere to the position here
tofore taken, namely that the strik-
ing former employees cannot be Civ
en- preference to employees at pres
ent in the service without doing vio-
lence to every principle of right and
justice involved in this matter and
without the grossest breach of faith
on the railroads toward the men in
their service. Under these circum-
stances it becomes apparent that the
railroads cannot consider any settle
ment of the present strike which
does not provide protection in their
employment both to the loyal en-
ployes who remained in the service
and the new employees entering it.
Resolved further that unless the
representative of the striking for
mer shop employees are prepared to
accept that proposition the railroads
are unable to see where the efforts
at mediation by the chiefs of broth
erhoods can harmonic the funda-
mental differences.
Appreciative of Friendly Intent
Resolved that the railroads ex-
press their appreciation of the
friendly intent and the earnest eff
forts that have been made by the
chief officers of the train and en-
gine service brotherhoods to COM
pose the present situation and ex-
press their sincere regrets that the
situation has not permitted sue
cessful termin ton of those eff
forts"
Adjourned at Midnight
The conference of big five brother
hood chiefs with committee repre-
senting number of roads held to-
night in an effort to reach individual
agreements in accordance with the
brotherhoods proposals, adjourned at
midnight.
