STATE MEN SEE
RICHLAND ROAD
Group of State Engineers
to Estimate Cost of Paw
ing River Road

1t seems to be serious this time.
There has lots been said and promised
and threats made but very little has
yet been done on the road which we
all would like to have.
The last concrete move was the
coming here of H. o. Mills, state en-
gineer, with a group Of four others,
for the purpose of estimating the
cost of construction Of the piece of
paving between here and Richland.
Work was begun On the road Tues
day morning when the engineers took
their instruments and started sur
veying the right of way. 1t is their
work to pick course for the road
as straight as possible. survey and
cross section it, figure the cost of
construction and hand their report to
the state highway engineer. This
work will probably be completed in
two months.
The report made by these men will
go to Mr.. Allen, or who ever the
state highway engineer may be, and
from there referred to the highway
commission.
The road will start from the city
limits of Kennewick and extend up the
river five and one-half miles.

VOLLEY BALLERS
TO START SOON
Captains Picked and Schedule made
out for Volley Ball
Season

The local schedule for the basket
ball teams has almost expired and
now the volley ball enthusiasts have
taken up their activities.
After all the games of basket ball
have been played in the local tourna-
ment, two teams will be selected FROM
all four and will be coached to play
outside games. Letters have been
written to Prosser, Connell, White
Bluffs, Pasco and Wallula for games.
1t may also be possible to get some
games with the Y.M.C.A. of Walla
Walla.
The schedule for the coming volley
ball season has been compiled and
the captains of the teams have been
chosen. The captains of the teams
are. Albert Haas, Milan, w. l..
Marsh and Ed Tweedt. They are get
ting their teams together and it won't
be long before the public will be see
ing the best grade of volley ball ever
exhibited in this city. All that is lack
ing now is the line up for the differ
ent teams and the naming of them.
As the schedule reads there will be
sixteen games played by every team
or thirty two games played during
the season. The plans are to play no
games with outside teams, meaning
that all people will be able to see all
games admission free.
If there is anyone that is not a
member of the association and wishes
to play in the games he should make
application at once, making it pos
sible to get on teams being made up.
Members of the association that
have taken part in any of the activi-
ties express that there is nothing like
it and urge all other tired business
men and others to join in the fun and
exercise.

CRAVER APPOINTED
STATE SECRETARY
Assumes Position at Walla Walla
Penitentiary Early Next
Month

w. L. Craver has been appointed
state secretary by the board of busi-
ness control. His work will be super
vising the bookkeeping and account
ing at the penitentiary at Walla Wal
la and he will report on the new job
February ninth.
The offer of the position came as
complete surprise to Mr.. Craver
and the opening came as the result
of the resignation of the present in
cumbent who desires to return to his
home on the coast.
The work offers a substantial in
crease in pay over the position he now
holds with the Kennewick-R -Richland
Fruit Growers company and Mr.. Cra-
yer has rendered his resignation to
headquarters at Yakima.

GOLF CLUB TO
HAVE BANQUET
Big Dinner, Election of Of
ficers, Business to be
Features of Meeting

The fellows that swing the mean
golf clubs are beginning to think of
the new golf year and as result are
making plans to have big banquet
and business meeting next Tuesday at
the Commercial club rooms.
It is the talk Of the members of the
golf club that there should be at least
one feed and program each year for
the purpose of rejoicing over the sue
cess of the year and to cope with the
problems of the coming year. 1t is
the general opinion that there will be
such an annual affair and they are
going to have the first one next week.
The banquet will be served in the
Commercial club rooms and it is the
urgent desire that every member Of
the club reserve seat at the table
for himself and his lady. Reservations
can be made through G. H. Shana-
felt or by filling out the card that
will be sent to all members. The feed,
entertainment, and the general good
time will only cost seventy-five cents
per attendant.
Aside from the banquet proper, Of
ficers will be elected for the coming
year and general busines will be taxi
en- up. Included in the business is the
matter of improving the grounds
thru definite program, the appoint
ment Of the different committees and
the membership campaign that is
hoped will double the number on the
course this year
The report of the financial end of
the club indivates that there are no
unpaid bills and the club is in cool
staining. There are seventy-five MEM
bers enrolled in the club at the pres
ent time and all of them say they
like the course and all of the men,
bers but would like to double the
and have twice as good
course.

NO BAD SHEEP

State Sheep Inspector Henneberger
States There is No Scab on Sheep
After working in this district for
nearly two months and inspecting all
the sheep, w. B. Henneberger states
in his report that the district is alb
solutely clear from any scab.
The investigation followed the re-
port Of scab in the Yakima district.
1t was thought that possibly the scab
had followed down the valley and had
attacked some of the bands in this
district.
Mr.. Henneberger is now a guest
of the Kennewick Hotel and is glad
to send in a favorable report of his
investigation.

TEST BERRY PLANTS
FOR FROST DAMAGE
Samples are Sent to State College
Laboratories for In
spectiOn


There has been report going
around that the Strawberries were
frozen. Thinking that there may be
some seriousness to the report, COM
mittee gathered some roots and buds
from the plants from different places
in this vicinity and sent them to the
W.S.C. laboratories for inspection.
The investigation of the plants
made here shows that the plants have
gone too far and that strawberry crop
is not in danger but to be sure there
is no mistake, the samples have been
sent away and the reports will be
published in this paper in an early
issue.

KENN-HI TEAMS
TO PLAY PASCO
Second Game on Pasco
Floor Promises to be
Close Contest

The last time the two teams met,
the fight was on from the beginning
to the end of the game. In no instance
was either side confident as to the
outcome of the game. Kennewick won
that game by the margin of two field
baskets, or by score Of 1911.
Next Friday the two boys teams
meet again but this time on the Pas
co floor. Between these two games
Pasco has defeated Benton City while
Benton City won from Kennewick last
Friday. One the other side stands the
trouncing Prosser gave Fasco &c.
IL, while it took all their power and
cleverness to win from Kennewick by
the score of 1913. Then, by the gener-
al run of the "dope" it looks as if the
next game between the Pasco and
Kennewick hoop sharks would be a
real game.
The girls game also promises to be
well worth seeing. The Kennewick
girls won on their own floor but since
that time they lost to Prosser who in
turn were tied by Pasco, both teams
having lost to Richland so if we be-
lieve that mix-up, Pasco is really
favored slightly for the privilege of
using their own floor.
Last Fridays game went to Ben
ton City by the score of 15-11. Ken
newick had great trouble in finding
the basket therefore making many
wild thows. The game was rough
one. Anderson and Elliott were TAX
en- out of the game on personals while
trying to hold up their end of the
game. Benton City played fast clean
brand of basket ball and led from the
start.

The Dionysians being chiefly inter

history and literary significance, their
first Offering was the immortal

Their work in it was most creditable.
Katherine Wright put herself whole
heartedly into the role of the duchess
and Tom Bentley matched her excel
lent performance as Ferdinand, Duke
of Calabria. The other roles were well
played by Everett Johnston, Robert
Pollock, Gertrude Phillips. Roy Dugan
and Gertrude Young. The lighting of
the play was effective and added much
to the general impression of the play
