Self Styled Prince Found to Be
 an Undesirable

l New York, Feb. 1S.--Henry ]. Fer guson, alias Gerguson. who called himself Prince Dmitry Michael Alex androvtch. but who was called The Prince of Illinois by the police. was taken to Ellis Island today to await deportation as "an alien, possessing decidedly criminal tendencies and a parasite on society"
 He was ordered there by Federal Judge Winslow. upon dismissal of Q writ of habeas corpus obtained by Ferguson on the ground that he was born at Hillsboro. III. That's where the police got their name for him,
 Besides the alias "E. Ellington" " Ferguson posed in this country and in various European nations as Prince Dmitry, morganatie son of Czar Alex ander III of Russia, q graduate of Eton, of Oxford and of Yaie, the vic tim of io-year sentence in q Ger man prison, and a cousin of tho Prince of Wales.
 While in Paris in 19s2. posing as the son of tho Russian ezar. he be- came financially stranted and. appeal ing 10 tho American consul for aid, was sent 10 this country upon his rep rosentation that he actually was q na- tive-born- American.
 His story on reaching Ellis Island was that he was born in the Illinois city and sent 10 an orphans asylum in New York upon the death of his parents. Ellis Island officials were skcptlcal, however. and Ferguson was detained. So he fled the island. Last November. II months later, he was recaptured.
 Judge Winslow held today that tho prisoner had failed to prove he was not an alien.

FRED GIARD
LANDS BIG FISH
Sturgeon Weighing 272 Pounds Was
Caught in the Columbia Near
Kennewick Tuesday

Fred Giard had some real fishing
Tuesday afternoon when he landed
sturgeon weighing 272 pounds near
his place on the river road. This big
fish gave few exhibitions that the
average of his species seldom indulge
in.
Giard had his line stretched from
the banks and tied to a 40-lb. rock
out in the Columbia, The fish struck
near the rock and Fred and his broth
er took the shore end of the line in
a row boat and went out to "play"
him. When the fish saw the boat
he jumped six feet out of the water
carrying the rock with him. Then
the boys, the rock and the fish all
started up stream together. They
might have been going yet but for
the fact that the sturgeon ran into
a sand banks and gave the boys a
chance to "gaff" him.
This is the second sturgeon caught
in Kennewick this year. orin Brough-
ton landed 300 FOUNDER two weeks
ago.

POWER USERS "
HOLD MEETING
Delegates From Many
Towns Discuss p. P.
& L. Rates

| In answer to call issued by the
Chamber. Of Commerce of Walla Wal
la and Yakima, representatives from
the towns Of this valley and the Wal
La Walla district met at Pasco Mon
day to discuss the advisibility Of
jointly asking the public service
Commission for a drastic cut in the
rates charged by the p. p. & L. COM
pany. ' #"E &'
While most of the delegates attend
ing this meeting had no authority to
act for their respective towns, it Is
understood that all agreed to go be-
fore their home councils and ask for
their support in conducting general
hearing for the whole district.
For several months the Walla Wal
la c. of C. has been collecting data
and figures on their own accord in
an investigation of the rates charged
by the p. p. & L.. These figures were
all presented to the Pasco delega-
tion and were responsible for the de-
cision to take the matter up with the
commission. The Power company had
no representatives at the Pasco gath
ering and whether the contentious of
the protesting towns can be substan-
tiated remains to be seen.
It was charged that valuation Civ
en- by the company as a basis for
rate making were unreasonably high
and were based on war prices. It was
also alleged that an unfair amount
was charged off for depreciation
when as matter of fact the company
was taking care of depreciation costs
in its regular maintenance expendi-
lures. Besides these charges, it was
further stated that the per cent
replacement fund charged off by the
company, was ficticious method of
covering up the earnings, as depre-
Citations, maintenance and replace
ments were in reality one and the
same, and that in spite of these du-
plications the company had at times
returned ~ per cent on common stock.
Mr.. Ross, superintendent of utili-
ties for the city of Seattle, attended
the Pasco meeting and strongly adj
! vised the delegates to present their
claims to the commission.
Kennewick was represented by
H. w. Desgranges and City Attor-
ney c. l.. Holcomb 1t is understood
that both these gentlemen will re-
commend to the council that Kenne-
wick become one of the intervenors
in this case when it goes before the
commission. Kennewick's share of
the expense in the case is estimated
at $3.50.

N. HOOPER TO
OPEN NEW CAFE
Proprietor of Local Confectionery
Adds Restaurant and other
Improvements

N. Hooper, proprietor Of Hooper's
Confectionery is making extensive
improvements at his present place OF
business with view to opening up q
modern cafe. Mr.. Hooper states that
within two weeks he hopes to have
a restaurant in operation that would
be a credit to a city larger than Ken.
newick.
The restaurant is to be similar in
style to Jensen's and College Inn OF
Walla Walla. The dining room is tc
be on a raised floor and will hold
about ten tables.
While Mr.. Hooper has not made
definite plans as to just what service
he will be able to give, much depend
ing on what the public desires, but
he hopes to operate the cafe contin-
uously from $50 in the morning un-
til at least as late as eleven at night
These hours, Mr.. Hooper feels, would
not only take care of local needs, bu:
would greatly add to the accommo.
dation we are able to offer to the
travelling public. Heretofore, many
tourists have been disappointed by
being unable to get anything to eat
in Kennewick after the regular res
taurant hours.
Mr.. Hooper has ordered both a
I.
coal range and an electric stove and
announces that he is ,sparing no ex-
pense to meet the demand of the pub
lie. He has had much experience in
the hotel and restaurant business and
will undoubtedly conduct cafe that
the city will be proud of.

up. Beyond Ritzville tire number two
gave up with a last desparing pop
and here their troubles became SER
ious as a new spare tire was too
tight for the rim. After hours of
pulling and prying two travelling men,
seeing the large crowd of good look
ing femmes, by force of habit, stop
ped. In the center Of the throng
they discovered what the girls had
been sitting on and listened to the
pitiful tale of how unfaithful Henry
had been. "Sure we'll fix it," said
the portly one, who started imme-
diately skinning his knuckles and
breaking finger nails, and using Ian
guage the girls weren't used to. The
less portly one began apologizing as
the circle around the car became wild
er. Then the portly one began con-
serving his strength and finally, with
a last wheeze, jammed the ? tire on
Then this crowd of young women
again cautiously hanging themselves
on Henry and with a more determined
fish look in their eyes started dowr
the road, arriving at Sprague Lake
at Ills. At this resort they found
lust one bed left, but they didnt
mind as they had been making sar'
dimes of themselves all afternoon.
The trip to Fishtrap Lake was fin
ished in the morning without anoth'
er blowout. At the lake no fish were
caught and they started home TO-
ward evening, arriving in Kenne
wick early Monday morning much re
freshed because of their vacation.

PEARS BRING
RECORD PRICES
George D. Peters Ships Four
Carloads of Bartletts
for Seven Growers

George ID. Peters of the Kennewick
Supply & Storage company this
week shipped the first pears of the
season. The shipment is probably the
earliest that ever went out of the
valley and some believe the price
will equal anything received during
the war period.
Mr.. Peters received a cash order
for four cars at $500 for fancy and
$1.50 for C grade. Most Of the pears,
which were supplied by half dozen
growers, were of the fancy grade.
