HOLIDAY TRAFFIC

Our local agents of the N. p. and
U. p. railways concur in the idea
that there has been an increase in
traffic generally over last year at
this time. In the passenger depart.
ment, advantage was taken of the
special rates, and several local people
responded to the privilege.
A new feature of the Western Un-
ion service was that of special holi-
day greeting blanks, with specially
prepared envelopes, whereby anyone
delayed on the road. and unable to
get to their destination on Christmas
day, could send ahead a suitable mes
sage, which would reach its destina-
ton, with all the appearance of }
real Christmas letter, and so COM

Combating the Yellow Peril

Every time the government takes a
census this story is revived, which
means it enjoys rejuvenated popu-

years. When I catch myself laughing
at it, l know that another decade has
slipped by me unawares.
The story has to do with the enum-
in the outskirts Of Cincinnati, and
there found the head of the family
bumped up over large volume. It
developed, in the course of the con-
versation, that the householder some
months before had been induced by
travelling agent to invest in an ency-.
clopedia, and that to get the worth of
his money he had been reading the
books Of the set pretty constantly
ever since. He was now full Of facts,
statistics and data.
In reply to the callers questions he
gave his name and age and his wife's
name and age.
"How many infant children have
your" asked the census taker
I've got three" said the citizen.
"And that's all there ever will be,
too, you take it from me-

margin.
Besides this game Kennewick suf-
fered another defeat last week at
the hands Of strong high school
alumni team. The score was 22-8.
This same alumni team took on the
alumni team from Fasco and handed
them drubbing by the score of

Altho most of the alumni had not
played any basket ball this year, they
worked together as tho they had
practiced for several months.
The High school team is practicing
during the holidays for the next game
at Richland where they expect to
come back strong.
