SATURDAY is
BARGAIN DAY
Merchants of Kennewick
Cooperate in Offering
Special Prices

Saturday of this week is to be
bargain day in Kennewick. More
than thirty local merchants are
cooperating in offering unusual
ly attractive prices on different
lines of merchandise. In order
that purchasers might be given
the benefit of a wide Iange of
bargain offers and that there
might be cooperation instead of
rivalry between. the merchants
they have gotten together and
selected different articles upon
which special prices will be given.
The specials, will be found list
ed in the bargain day advertise
ment on Page two and in the regu-
lar spaces, of the business houses
in this issue. The Courier-Re-
porter gave up it's space in the
special page to late conner but
in cooperation with the business
houses this paper on Saturday will
accept $1.50 for renewals of year
ly subscriptions and send the paper
for year for $1.00 to any new
subscriber.
If the results from bargain day
justify the effort the Kennewick
merchants hope to make it a
regular trade event and will set
aside one Saturday of each month
for similar event.

sary to carry on the essential ac-
tivities Of the state, over and above
what the 40 mills on real ard tan
gible personal property will pro-
duce," the league declares.

zation also plans q second meeting

BIG MUSICAL
NUMBER NEXT
Cardin Lieurance Next
Tuesday Season Tick
cts to be Sold at So

The first of the Ellison White
attractions on Kennewick's Lyce-
um course will be given at the
high school auditorium next Tues
day evening. The entertainers are
the Cardin-L Lieurance Orchestra
and their program will be the red
letter music event in Kennewick
this winter.
The orchestra is headed by two
Of the finest Indian artists, Fred
erick Cardin, violinist, and William
Reddie, cellist. 1t is an interesting
fact that tbs orchestra was per-
sonally selected and coached by
Thurlow Lieurance, the noted COM
poser and authority on Indian mu-
sic and best known as the com
poser of "Waters of Minnetonka. u
The program too has been chosen
by Mr.. Lieurance and will EN-.
brace symphonic and chamber mu-
sic numbers from Rubenstein, Ver-
di, Rossini and others. Miss Glad
VS. Gooding, soloist, with the or
ganization, has remarkably fine
soprano voice. She possesses q
surprising range and the beauty
of her tone always creates a pro.
found impression. She will use
many of Mr.. Lieurance's own com.
positions.
Prof. Hoppe, Of Belgium Normal
who appeared Tuesday evening as
the first number Of the course, gave
a very pleasing entertainment with
his recital of the play "The Re-
turn of Peter Grimm"
With one number gone the com.
mittee has decided to continue the
sale of season tickets for the -four
remaining numbers, reducing the
price from $3.50 to $500 for adults
and $1.OO for students. The sin.
gle admission charge for the Car.
din-Lieurance orchestra will be 81
and Is cents each for the Garner
Jubilee company, Davis, the ma.
gician, and Tom Skeyhill.
Only few of ticketholders made
their seat reservation for Tues.
days number which led to consid.
cradle delay and confusion at the
door. All ticket purchasers are
urged to make their reservations
at Vibber Gifford's Drug Store
The house plat for Cardin-LAeur-
ance will be placed Friday morn,

SELL LAND ON
EASY TERMS
Northern Pacific Railway
Company Makes More
Favorable Contract

To encourage increased settle
ment in the Northwest and to give
the purchaser of its lands the
greatest possible assistance as he
starts to build up his ranch or his
farm, the Northern Pacific Rail-
way company, through its land de-
parment, has announced a new
style of land contract. Hereto
fore the lands of the company have
been. sold under contracts, the ex-
treme duration of which has been
ten years.
Under the new plan, lands are
to be sold on terms which will
provide for the spreading of pay
ments over q much longer term.
One tenth of the consideration is
to be paid in cash and the balance
drawing simple interest at six per
cent, is to be amortized over a
period of 10 years. This scheme
Of payments will be readily grasp
ed when it is explained that an
annual payment of $S1 per thou
sand If Indebtedness will pay for
the land within the term, includ-
ing 6 per cent simple interest.
This has been evolved with the
intention of enabling the purchaser
to employ his capital in building
up his new business to a greater
extent than has been possible here
tofore when the heaviest annual
payments fell due at the beginning
Of contract, method which has
resulted in slowing up materially
the development Of the agricultur-
al districts of the West. Under
the new contract, the annual in
stallment will be. the same thru
out the. term.
To insure that only honest-to-
goodness settlers and farmers may
be given the benefit of this easy
method of land purchase the con-
tract requires residence on or near
the property and the expenditure
Of specified sums in improvement
upon the premises. The language
of the contract in these respects
is as follows:
Gas material part Of the con-
sideration, the purchaser makes
the following averments and
agreements; that he is now resid-
within a radius Of ten miles of
said premises, or will establish his
residence either upon the premises
or within radius of ten miles
thereof within six months from
the date hereof, and will maintain
such residence during the period
of five years; that he will utilize
the premises for farming or stock
raising purposes, and to that end,
improvements OF value equal 20
five per cent of the purchase price
and, within the second, third and
fourth years, he will, in each year
place thereon additional improve
ments of value to equal to five
per cent Of said purchase price.
When improvements to the value
Of 20 per cent of the purchase
price shall have been placed on the
premises this agreement shall be
fulfilled"
This new contract incorporates
some of the most approved and
modern methods Of land selling
and, so far as known to the COM
pany, is the first attempt Of any
