TRUCK HEARING HELD
Testimony Seems to be Unfavorable
to Granting Certificate

In a hearing held here Friday by
the state department of public works
on the application of Burns & Cork
rum for certificate to operate a
motor truck freight line between Wal
la Walla and Kennewick, the prepon-
derance of testimony seemed to be
in opposition to granting the certi-
ficate.
A total of ID witnesses were called
by the railroad companies to testify
that in their opinion the motor freight
line was not needed and that service
furnished by a former line had not
been satisfactory. Mr.. Burns was
the only witness who testified in fa-
yor of the proposed line.

death.
Under the terms of the will the $4,-

books for the library. Mr.. Moulton
says the investment will earn $500

ing room facilities.
The section of the will governing
the library bequest follows:
~ give, devise and bequeath to my
executor hereinafter named, the sum
of $4,000 in trust for the use and the
benefit of the association now known
as the Kennewick Library association,
provided, however, that if said Ken
newick library association shall re-
organize and incorporate under the
laws of the state Of Washington, then
said fund shall be held by my said
executor as trustee for the use and
benefit of said corporation, and pro-
vided further, that if said association
as it now exists, shall for any reason
cease to exist or shall cease to main
tain and operate reading rooms in the
city of Kennewick, then the said sum
and income therefrom shall be held
by my said trustee until such time as
a Public library association shall be
duly Incorporated and organized in
the city of Kennewick
cit is my intention and direct that
the income derived from the trust
fund herein bequeathed to my execu-
tor in trust shall be used by my said
trustee, acting in conjunction with
the beneficiary herein named, for the
purchase of such books as said trus-
tee, in his discretion, together with
the proper officers of said associa-
tion may select, provided that all
books thus purchased shall thereupon
become the absolute property of said
Library association"
+ The following section provides that
in the event the trustee becomes un-
able to act his successor is. to be ap-
pointed by the superior court.
The will was signd in November,
1917 and Mrs. Bartlett passed away
in 1920 in Washington, d. c., where
she did Red Cross work during and
after the war.
Rev. and Mrs. Bartlett were pioneer
residents of Kennewick where he was
the first rector of st. Paul's Episcopal
church. He developed in the Garden
Tracts the place known as Rest-a-Bit
ranch now owned by M. o. Kitten.
Later Mr.. and Mrs. Bartlett built a
beautiful home on the Highlands, the
disposition of which is still in litiga-
tion.
During her residence in Kennewick
Mrs. Bartlett was an active worker in
social and civic affairs. She took
deep interest in the library and both
she and Mr.. Bartlett gave literally
to it from their large library.

SOME SOUSA RECORDS

Lieut.. Com. John Philip Sousa, the
famous bandmaster, who comes TO
Augusta, City hall for a matinee
Sept. 90, has participated in so many
record breaking events during his
long career at the head of the band
which bears his name, that he has
forgotten great share of the super
lative events in his life. Recently,
however. he took pad and pencil and
jotted down a few facts. Here they
are:
Sousa's greatest audience consist
ed of 10000 people, and was assem-
bled at the American League base
ball park in New York. in April. 1923.
Sousa was invited to conduct the
band for the flag raising which Of
ficially opened the huge stadium to
the public.
The greatest band ever directed
by Sousa consisted of 62S2 pieces. 1t
was composed of the massed bands
of Shriners from all sectionsi of
America, assembled in Washington
for the national convention of the
Order, in June, 1923. The first Sc
lection played by the huge band was
the new Sousa march MOBILES Of the
Mystic Shrine"
The greatest days business ever
done by Sousa and his band, was in
Cleveland, Ohio. September 80. 1922.
The receipts amounted to S17,77S, a
worlds record for a single day for
any musical organization.
The most successful of all Sousa
compositions, judging by sales, Is his
march. "Stars and Stripes Forever"
To date more than 100000 copies Of
the music, and more than 5000 900
copies of the talking machine records
and piano rolls have been sold. 1t is
the largest-selling composition of
any description in the world.
Sousa says his biggest thrill came
the first time he led the United
States Marine Band in one Of his
own compositions. and his second
biggest thrill when he marched down
