 After running quite a ways, the Raggedys and little Weekly sat down to rest. Not that Rasgedy Ann s~d Ragge5y Andy had grown tired. Oh no. IL vas because little Weekly had grown tired.

NEW BILL AT LYCEUM.

AS good as was the muS1cal comedy attraction by Jack Shean's company at the Lyceum the first half of the week. that offered by this clever troupe of entertainers for the last half is even better. The program abounds with clever dancing, both ensemble and individual and in duet. while the antics of the comedians are uproariously funny. The novelty specialties introduced throughout the evening make the bill one of the highest order.
 The accompanying photodrama is the William Fox special, Big Dan," featuring Charles Jones.
 Following the double feature spe- cial bill for Sunday night the Lyceum on the first three days of next week will present Sinclair Lewis Main Street" This stars Florence Vidor and Monte Blue as the citified young couple who come to a small town to live. Small town limitations and gos- sip have big part in the play, al though it also has great line of comedy and funny situations. It is a wonderfully fine picture. The latest round of Fighting Blood also will be shown.

Delaney and Albert E. Smith, the pro- ducer has Ms. Delaney's photograph appearing with the title of the film.
 One of the most realistic fights in a ryer is contained in Loyal Lives"
 The scene is one that will bring shudders to spectators, so realistic is 1t. William Collier, Jr., and an actor who played the part of train robber barely escaped drowning in South River, near Perth Amboy. N. l.. dur ing the filming of this dangerou scene.
 Collier, who plays the part of Ter renee, son of letter carrier, is mak- ing his first run as railway mail clerk when two daredevil bandits chamber down from the roof Of the moving train and get into the mail coach. The other mail clerks are over come. Collier succeeds in felling one of the bandits. As the train swings over the bridge, the remaining bandit seizes a registered mail pouch. Collier grabs him and a terrific battle for possession of the mail pouch follows. Both fall off the moving train thirty feet into the water. Here the fighting for the sack continued desperately.
 On this bill there will be four good acts of Keith vaudeville that will be well liked because of their fine enter taining qualities.
 Starting next week Monday the big attraction for the entire week will be The Clark Sisters Revue" with big youthful dream chorus and Harry Myers, a noted comedian.

No Defeats

- & 49,. ~
The Benton City High School
basketball team will play the local
quintet on the home floor, Saturday,
january 20, at 1880 p. m. The Benton
five has made fine showing. Pasco
had much difficulty in winning from
this quintet 1915. The girls from
Benton easily defeated the Pasco

on the Kennewick sextet, the former
winning 32-17, the home team 14-12
from the Pasco girls.
Friday, January IL, the two home
teams romped away from their Rich
land rivals. The local boys won
easily by the score Of 28-17. Witt
and Howard starred and Fraser did
well after replacing Holcomb at CEN
ter.
The Richland girls played game
that nearly overcame the local sextet.
It was a Richland game during the
first half, the visitors leading 8-5.
But the skill of Appenzeller at for
ward and Hudnall at guard, along
with the fine playing of the others
gave the home school another victory.
The visitors were allowed to make
but one point during the last hah,
the score being K. II. S. 16 to r. H. s.
9.

mores are leading in both tourna-
ments.

BRIDGE MEN
GET CHECKS
Stockholders in Kennewick-
Pasco Bridge Receive a
Quarterly Dividend

Stockholders of the Benton Frank
lin Intercounty Bridge corporation in
today's mail received checks for the
two per cent quarterly dividend de-
clared at the last meeting, of the
board Of trustees. The dividend was
paid from the surplus which has ac-
crued from three months operation
of the bridge after all outstanding
Indebtedness had been paid.
In view of the fact that the cor
portation did not take possession of
the bridge until October / after the
rush of summer travel was over and
that traffic was extremely light for
two weeks during December during
the heavy snow and zero weather, this
is considered remarkable financial
showing for the bridge.
The corporation recently took up
all stock on which payments were
delinquent and surrendered the notes
of the original subscribers. This
stock was all resold at ninety without
financial loss to the corporation as the
original purchasers paid ten per cent
of the purchase price at the time the
subscriptions were made. Investors
are now offering ninety-five for the
bridge stock and it is predicted that
by next summer it will be quoted
above par.
