The Press Is Late---
Gas Engines The Cause

This issue of the Press is lat
extremely late-in reaching oul
readers, but the cause is one over
which we have had no control and
is not due to the fact that no ef-
forts were made by the Press force
to get the paper out at an earlier
date. On Tuesday the engine at
the light plant with which Mr..
Rounds has been furnishing Us
power, went on the "blin., and
new parts were ordered but we
were left stranted with no type set
for the paper and no power with
which to operate our type setting
machines and presses. Not to be
daunted however we overhauled
our old gas engine and hooked up
the betting and got everything in
readiness to go, only to crash up
against the fact that the gol-dar-
ned old engine wouldn't go any
more. We then Jerked the old en-
gire out and borrowed another one

EDMOND LEWIS GILCHRIST

Edmond Lewis Gilchrist was
born near Vermillion, South OAK

ed the call of his Creator on Feb
ruary 18, 1923. A short time later
he moved with his parents to Walk
onda, South Dakota, and in 1906
accompanied them to this commu-
nifty, locating on the ranch south
If Weta where they have made
their home and where the deceas-
ed grew to young manhood. Dur
ing the time of strife Of the
World War he entered the service
and served eight months, receiv-
ing an honorable discharge and re-
turning to his home where he
again took up his work of farming
and ranching. He was a member
Of the Jackson County Post of the
American Legion at Kadoka.
Left to mourn his loss is his
father and mother, Mr.. and Mrs.
w. M. Gilchrist, Of Weta, one Sis
ter. Miss Doris Gilchrist of Agar,
one brother, Harold P. Gilcf list of
this place, and Miss Marion Hansen
of Kadoka, who on Wednesday of
this week was to have become his
bride.
Ted Gilchrist was perhaps one of
the best known young men of the
entire community, and for many
years has played baseball at var
ious places throughout this west
river country, and never in the
years of his activity was ever a
word of suspicion breathed against
him, and his entire life was clean
and wholesome like the true sport
sman of the game he loved SO well.
Ted was popular, respected and
loved by all and worshiped as a
hero by the hosts of small friends
he made of the little people by his
attitude and pleasant way with
them for no child ever passed by
without a pleasant word and smile
from him. In all his business deal
ing he was upright and honest

characteristic of the outdoor life

strong and healthy, and his sudden
passing in this manner is deeply
mourned by all who had the oppor-
tunity and pleasure of his acquain-
tance.
Just why this passing should be
We do not know, why this upright
young man with all the joys OF

young lady who in so few span of
hours was to have linked l.er life

sympathy, like that of all others,
is extended in the fullest measure

life and the certainty cf meeting
again, may bring to them a ray of
sunshine through the deep banked

Girls Win And
Boys Lose In
Philip Games

The lovers of real fast basket
ball were given All opportunity to
witness two such games last Fri
day evening when the Kadcka HI
gh School Girls team took the Phi.
lip High School girls team into
camp by the close score of Is to l6.
and the Philip boys team tork tn
'ong end Of a % to II score in the
game against the local boys team.
The games were played on the loc-
al floor at Victoria Hall and vert
witnessed by a huge crowd. The
girls game was called first and this
was battle royal between the two
teams. At the end of the first half
the score stood l2 to 8 in favor Of
Kadoka, but in the third 4aarter
the visiting ladies took u squirt and
at the end Of the quarter mad the
high. margin by l6 to lg score.
Soon after the whistle started the
final quarter free throw BY Kad-
Okla tied the score and we'll plac-
cd field basket gave the home girls
the lead soon after and from then
on no scoring was done by either
team. The two teams were well
matched and played fast hard
fought game, and especially pleas
ing TO the local fans was the show
ing made by the home girls in view
Of the fact that foi five Of the
members of the team this was the
'econG game in which they had
ever participated. With little
more experience this group of lad.
les will be mighty hard aggreg-
alton to defeat.
In the boys game the Phiho
team played the fastest game and
were entitled to win. The game
was FAST and some mighty nifty
basket ball was shown by the play
ers on both sides, but the visitors
showed better team work and ir.
this lay their ability TO win the
game. The first half of the game
was last and the teams played Z.
practically even game, The Visitors
having the margin of the half by a
7 to 5 score, at the close Of the
rhird quarter the score was IL to :.
but in the final stanza the visitor
rolled in eight baskets for total
Of tenpoints while the locals could
ind me basket but two times for
a total OF four points. the !infd
score being Philip 22, Kadoka L.
Without any desire to detract
from the win of the Philip l,oys to
which they were Justly entitled, IT
s not amiss to say that tho boys
did not leave their rabbits foot az
home, at all, and with n. even
break of luck and little more
team work on the part Of tine local
aggregation, these two teams will
stage mighty pretty battle, and
fans are hoping that they meet
again this season.

PLEA FOR PRAYER
Suggested That Watch Night {
Made Night of Prayer

The Kennewick Prayer Circle, re-
Gently organized as a part of the
Great Commission Prayer League, Of
Chicago, has requested the publica-
non OF the following appeal to make
watch Night night of prayer.
Why cannot Watch Night this year
De given over to prayer? Why not
ask God to restore to the church it's
sense Of the Nervousness Of sin, it's
sense of the wrath and love Of God,
lts sense of concern for the lost, it's
sense of the necessity of complete
separation from the world, it's sense
Of the joy of salvation?
Let prayer become fundamental in
stead OF supplemental, and modern
ISM and worldliness and infidelity in
ne church will have to go. The card
ADle and the parlor dance will hive
% go. 1uplicity and suspicion, jeal-
vey and dissension, back-biting and
uvlslon will have to go. Our broken
uOwn family affairs will be re-erected;
os young people will be saved; our
1ers will be filled with consecrated
nuney. Our home and foreign boards

CAN'T HUNT DUCKS
AFTER DECEMBER
State Law Permits Hunting Until
January 16 But Federal Law
Prohibits 1t

Owing to a misunderstanding be-
tween the state and federal game
commissions hunters in the east side
counties will be short changed out
of fifteen days of duck and goose
shooting this year. The federal au-
thorities insist that the open season
must close the evening of December
81 instead of January Is.
County and state game commits
sions at a conference several months
ago agreed to open the water fowl
season Is days later this year and ex-
tend it fifteen days it being under
stood that the federal law would be
changed to conform. Consequently the
state published the fact that the sea-
son would be from October Is to jan
uary 15 inclusive. No change, however
was made in the federal law and
federal authorities have notified the
state and county commission that the
law is to be enforced.
County Game Warden Nick Palmer
said yesterday that while he is not
charged with the enforcement of the
federal law he warns sportsmen that
they are likely to be picked up by
federal wardens if they continue to
shoot after December 81.

MUST HAVE NEW
LICENSES FIRST
State Highway Patrolmen are Going
to Mop-Up Benton County
DIR. Cole Nabbed

Next Monday, December 81, is the
last day upon which automobile own
ers will be permitted to operate on
their 1923 license plates.
Deputy Sheriff Chester McGee says
that an order has gone forth to all
police officers to strictly enforce the
law and to arrest all drivers whose
cars do not have new plates or tenn
porary numbers after January I.
Drivers licenses are required only
each two years and those issued last
year are effective until July 81, 1925.
IL is reported that state highway
patrolmen are starting "mop-up"
campaign in Benton county and in
tend to rigidly enforce the traffic
laws. They are going to give par
ticular attention to the fellow who
forgets to slow down at crossings and
drives at night with only one light.
DIR. B. L. Cole believes he is the
first victim of the mopping-up. Re-
turning Wednesday from Toppenish,
he was picked up by state man and
booked in Bert Plowman's court on
a charge of speeding. The officer
says Doc was coming across the des-
ert this side of Benton City at the
rate of AZ miles an hour. Doc is of
the opinion that the officer has
over-rated him, but admits he was
exceeding thirty.

Was Member of Christmas
Party at Lehnhard Home
On Highlands
LIFELEss BODY
FOUND BY FRIENDS
Was Afflicted With Heart
Trouble But Was Feel
ing Well During Day

Following a Christmas dinner at
4he home of Mr.. and Mrs. A. Lehn-
bard. of the Highlands, DR.. w. A.
dronped dead of heart failure.
Dr. and Mrs. Wright, together with
NJ and Mrs. r. E. Pratt and Mr.. and
Mrs. Averill Beavers were dinner
,uests at the Lehnhard home AL
though DR.. Wright has been afflict-
| "a with heart trobule for some time
his condition was in no sense consid-
ered serious. He was apparently feel
mo we'll Christmas day, ate heartily
and was in excellent good spirits.
After dinner the party visited for
.ome time and about 8 o'clock the
visitors prepared to go to their homes.
d. Wright volunteered to bring Mr..
and Mrs. Pratt into town in his car
and left the house saying that he
would remove a spare tire which he
had left between the seats and put
Il on the rear of his car. When, after
considerable time he did not come
hack into the house, Mr.. Pratt and
M. Lehnhard went out to the car.
They found him lying at the side of
tie automobile with a flash light in
his hand. DIR. Tuller who was immed-
lately summoned said that death had
evidently been instantaneous.
Before coming to Kennewick DR..
and Mrs. Wright made their home in
Spokane where the doctor practiced
dentistry for more than thirty years.
They purchased the Highlands place
several years ago and spent part Of
each year here until two years ago
when they came to make their perma-
nent home on the little farm. Owing
to the fact that he spent much of his
time in Spokane DR.. Wright did not
have an extensive acquaintance in this
community but he was held in the
highest esteem by those who knew
him. He is survived by his widow and
brother, O. j. Wright, of Detroit,
Michigan.
No funeral services will be con-
Quoted here. DR.. Wright's body will
be taken to Spokane tomorrow eve
ming on the same train on which a
sister and neice Of Mrs. Wright will
arrive from California. The funeral
will be held in Spokane Saturday.

EARLY BLAZE
RAZES HOME
Tenant House on Bartlett
Place Is Totally Destroy
ed By Fire

The tenant house on the Bartlett
farm, occupied by Joe DeBuc and
family was totally destroyed by fire
at six o'clock this morning. Famed
by a strong wind the flames spread
so rapidly that the only personal ef-
fects saved were the morning clothes
of Mr.. and Mrs DeBuc and children,
Mr.. DeBuc is of the opinion that
the fire started from sparks from the
chimney. Soon after he lighted the
morning fires heard cracking on
the roof and when he went outside
to investigate he found the whole
roof ablaze.
Mr.. DeBuc carried insurance on
his household effects and 1900 boxes
of Winesap apples stored in the base
ment, which were also destroyed. The
loss on the building and its contents
is being adjusted through Gascoigne
& Fyfe.

BIG .Y' HOLDS
ANNUAL MEET
Traffic Manager Says Apple
Price will Rise after Dry
Stocks are Gone

The first of the Yakima Valley
Fruit Growers associations annual
get-together meetings was held today
in the American Legion rooms. The
activities of the past year We're re-
viewed by officers of the association
and plans for the coming year dis
cessed. Presiden Fl. p. James, Ger
eral Manager C. H. Swigart, Field Su-
perintendent L. o. Cockrill and Sales
Manager J. w. Hebert were in at
tendance.
In his annual report. President
James said that all of the associa-
tion's 13 plants had been operated this
year at capacity and that it will be
Impossible for the association to take
on any more tonnage without the en-
,largement Of it's present warehousine
and cold storage facilities. The as
sociation will handle 1925 cars this
year. 80
The soft fruit deal Mr.. James said,
had worked out much more satisfac-
torily than was thought possible at
the beginning of the shipping season,
This was particularly true of pears
which were held in storage and sold
on rising markets. The president
declared that the difference between
the total price which the association
received for pears and the amount at
which they could have been sold for
at picking time was sufficient to pay
for the cost of all the associations
cold storage plants.
Sales Manager Hebert said the out
look is good for q fair apple market
but high prices cannot be expected,
until the large quantities of apples
held in dry storage have been dis
posed Of, After these have been
cleared up he hopes for fairly good
prices for cold storage stocks.
The only business transacted was
the nomination Of C. Simensen for re-
election as a trustee from this dis
trict.
In addition to the associations
general officers Austin woodward,
member of the executive committee
from Sunnyside, was in attendance.

Large Crowd Attends Street
Ceremonies To Usher
in Holiday Season
KIDDIES ARE GIVEN :.
PACKS OF SWEETS
Santa Claus Makes Little
Ones Happy And Elders
Rejoice With Them

With simple but effective ceremon-
les the holiday season was ushered
in at the community Christmas tree
Sunday afternoon at five o'clock. The
street intersection at Second and Yak
ina streets and the area around was
packed with townspeople and country
folk who came to express the true
Christmas spirit in the singing Of car
OILS and the distribution of gifts to
the kiddies.
Packages had been prepared for
500 children and after the little folk
had filed past Santa Claus station
few packages remained. The occasion
was delight to the youngsters and
their elders experienced almost equal
delight in the happiness of the child
rem.
TIL community sing was led by r.
H. Briggs, leader Of the M. Z. church
choir. A short talk on the Spirit of
Christmas was given by Rev. A. III. F.
Watkins, rector Of st. Paul's Epis-
copal church. He used the lights of
the tree as an illustration of the new
light that came to the world at the
birth of Christ and called attention
Of the little folk to the fact that the
distribution Of the Christmas pack
ages was symbolic of Gods great gift
to the peoples of the earth, in the
person of His only son.
The tree was the gift of the Paci-
fic Power & Light company whose
workmen erected and illuminated it.
The program was in charge of COM
mittee composed of representatives
of the civic, commercial, religious,
fraternal, social and farm organiza-
tions of the community.
One phase Of the community Christ
mas observance was the distribution
of gifts to those families visited by
illness and misfortune. For the most
part these gifts were little remem-
brances intended to bring happiness
by the children. These, however, We're
supplemented by a number of sacks
of flour donated by the Kennewick
Flour Mills.
Generally the community tree is re-
garded as a success and undoubtedly
lit will be made an annual custom.
