WATER PURE
State Board of Health Finds
No Contamination in
Specimens

That Kennewick is drinking good
water is proved by recent analyses
made by the state board of health.
Reporting on the results of the exam
ination City Health Officer A. c..
Tullar in a letter to Mayor H. w.
Desgranges says
In accordance with your orders and
the rules of the state board of health
the water furnished the City of Ken
newick was tested on May %, during
high water.
Specimens were taken from the
river at the intake, from the reser-
voir and from the faucet.
The department Of health reports
that the water is good.
The water at the intake before be-
ing treated with chlorine shows con-
tamination the same as existed for
years before the present plant was
put in; here at the intake, before it
reaches the pumps the water is treat
ed with definite volume of chlorine,
by an apparatus which works auto
matically every fifteen seconds.
The gas is then thoroly churned
into the water By the pumps and the
chlorinated water Is pumped to the
reservoir, whence it is distributed to
the consumer.
The reservoir is large concrete
basin covered with two layers Of
boards between which is placed tar
paper and is as near dust proof as is
possible and consistent with proper
ventilation.
The second specimen Of water was
obtained from the surface of the res
ervoir and would contain much great
er contamination than the ordinary
tan water.
This water, with all the dust on the
surface was pronounced by the lab
oratory "good water" "now safe for
drinking and culinary purposes"
The water from the tap was of
course still better.
The power company furnishing the
water has a very efficient plant, the
men are courteous and anxious to
continue giving what they are now
giving, viz: a perfectly safe drinking
water.
In this connection l am glad to
state two facts:
First. that the present plant was
put in by the company of their own
accord with an idea solely to improve
the service.
Second, that since its installation
about two years ago there has not
been case of typhoid fever in Ken
newick, to my knowledge. AS you
will remember that disease was pre-
vious to that time endemic here and
continuously exacted it's toll of sick
ness and death.
| believe that we are very fortunate
in having such safe supply of water.

New Home of Kennewick
Methodists Admired by
Many Visitors
FIFTEEN THOUSAND
DOLLARS PLEDGED
Sermon of Bishop Shepard
and Singing of Colfax
Choir Features

1t is estimated that one thousand
people attended the dedicatory SER
vices of the First M. E. church here
Sunday. At the morning services be-
tween 600 and TOO people were seat
ed in the big auditorium and many
visitors from other towns who were
unable to be here in the forenoon at
tended the evening services. Dele
cations from other local churches and
N. q. churches of other towns were
in attendance. Among other COM
munities represented were Yakima,
Mabton, Sunnyside, Grandview, Pros
ser, Benton City, Richland, Pasco,
Walla Walla and Colfax.
The dedicatory ceremonies were car
ried out under the direction of Bishop
W. O.. Shepard, of Portland, who
preached forceful sermon in the
morning and shared the pulpit in the
evening with DIR. U. F. Hawk, dis
trict superintendent. At the close OF
the morning sermon Bishop Shepard
announced that the new church had
been built at a cost of 100000 and
that all but $4,000 had either been
raised or pledged.
When q call was made to meet the
deficit the M. E. ladies led off with
q pledge of 81 900. A. v. McReynolds
builder of the church, pledged $500,
the Epworth League $500 and A. c.
Anon $500. Other smaller subscrip-
tions secured during the day brought
the total to $4,000 and the remain
ing $4,000 was guaranteed by the
board Of trustees.
One of the features of the dedica-
tory program was the singing of the
choir of the M. E. church of -Colfax,
where the Rev. A. A. Calender was
pastor before coming to Kennewick.
This is splendid musical organization
and their singing was greatly appre-
ciated at the banquet Saturday eve-
ming and at the Sunday services. AT
the morning services the singing was
led by the combined Colfax and Ken
newick choirs directed by R. H. Briggs.
In. the afternoon the visiting choir
gave concert but left for their
homes before. the evening services.
The banquet Saturday evening
which was in the nature of a good
fellowship gathering with pastors of
other denominations and representa-
tives of local organizations taking
part in the program, was attended by
more than $50 people.
The entire program which started
Thursday evening with a homecoming
meeting, was carried out in a most
satisfactory manner and the local
Methodists were warmly congratulate
Cd by the out-of-town visitors on
tnelr magnificent new home.

ing splendid spirit of cooperation.
Through their generosity and at the
solicitation of Art Hodge and Herman

scribed to put over the celebration in
fine shape.

for something doing every minute
from early morning until late at night.

An excellent program of athletic
events is being worked up and the
youth of the district will have an op-
to show their skill in sprint

is to be emphasized with speaking
and musical program. An invitation
has been extended to Scott z. Hen

in the firstttwo hours trading on
the stock exchange today. Senti-
nent, although still mildly bullish
underwent considerable change since
yesterday when stocks gave way so
easily under a comparatively small
an1otlnt of selling.
Encouraged by their success bear
operators sought to create renewed
liquidation by offering stocks down
right from. the outset. Again they
singled out the northwestern rails
as their main target for attack, in
which efforts they were -unquestion-
ably helped by some genuine Iiquida-
ton appearing in Northern Pacific
and Great Northern preferred.
Doubt as to the next dividend pay
ment. due to loss of traffic suffered
by these roads because of unsatis-
factory agricultural conditions, and
the possibility of lower freight rates,
caused a great deal of switching to
stock of roads with brighter outlook.
Both Great Northern and Northern
Pacific made new. lows for the year.
st. Paul preferred and Rock Island
were also pressed for SALE
The lack of buying power in the
petroleum group was seized upon by
the bears as an excuse to depress
values, but, apart from a sharp de-
cline in Cosden to new low for
the year, losses were limited to frac-
tions.
AS the market went into the
second hour, selling pressure was
met with increased resistance
judged by the quick rallies follow
ing each setback. Apparently the
bears had exchanged their ammuni.
ton for the time being, at least.
Prices stiffened all around, but there
was no inclination to follow up the
Improvement, resulting in growing
dullness around the noon hour.
Steel, copper and equipment is
sues retraced the ground lost earlier
In the day. Rubber and sugar
stocks ruled heavy, due to the easier
trend reported in both commodities.
Losses of about a point were sus-
tanned in Corn Products, American
Wooden, International Harvester and
American Tobacco. Dupont De
Nemours and Stewart-Warner were
firm spots.

Going Back to Nature for Colors
ny ANNE RITsTENHOUsE.

Flowers. fruits. vegetables, leaves

minerals give the colors that seem
to be most favored this summer.
To be sure we still read In the
dressmakers' descriptions OF the

Ophelia, blue roy. and there is still
reference to Lanvin green and some
times Irish green or Sim Fein green

But the colors that have gained
and held enormous favor within the
last season or so have seemingly been
taken more directly from nature
