WILL BUILD '
DAIRY BARN
B. Kempe Starts Modern
Structure on Farm
East of Town

B. Kempe, started construction
this week of large 46x50 foot
dairy barn which he plans to have
finished in about six weeks, the
cost of which will be approximate
ly $1,000. The structure will be To-
Gated on his ranch two miles east
of Kennewicls and will provide
space for twelve cows in STAN
chions and box stalls. Practically
half the space of the interior will
be utilized as storage room for
farm implements. There will be
ample room in the center of the
building to store 35 tons of hay
during the winter, seasons sup
ply for his herd. The building will
have a concrete foundation, floor
of the same material and the gable
will be twenty feet in height.
Mr.. Kempe, like many other
ranchers Of the valley. has arrived
at the conclusion that there is
good money in dairying if proper
ly conducted and is planning his
course accordingly. The story of
his ranch during the last few
years has been one of constant
improvement. When visiting the
place, or merely passing by, one
is impressed by the manner in
which all the out-buildings as well
as the residence, have been care
fully arranged, well constructed,
and planned. The modern dairy
barn and storage building which
he is now constructing will be a
big asset. A dozen Jersey or
Guernsey cows such as Mr.. Kempe
plans to keep will provide an in
come ofno small proportion the
year round.

HIGHLANDS HOME
TO BE MOD e r N
Local Fruit Grower to have City
Conveniences in New Res
idence on Hill

Electric lights and power, tele-
phone, water under pressure, bath.
These are, perhaps, the four most
important items that will add COM
fort and convenience to the new
home of j. Kleinknecht, fruit
grower of the west Highlands
which is now being built. The
house will be 24x34 feet, five rooms
and basement, and when finish
ed, will contain the best improve
ments that go into the makeup
of a modern farm residence. The
building will not be completed at
once as the owner expects to dc
a great deal of the work himself
during his spare time this spring
and summer.
Mr.. Kleinknecht came to Kenne.
wick in the spring of 1924, at
which time he purchased fifteen
acre apple ranch on the west High
lands. Since then he has removed
the apple trees from seven and
one-half acres in order to set this
portion of his farm in cherries. He
has also devoted one acre to
Thompson Seedless grapes.
The new house which he is now
starting will cost about $500.

REGRADE ON HILL
is IMPROVEMENT
Slightly Location Undergoes Some
Changes - is Singularly
Free From Frost

Anyone driving out to the golf
course recently or over the road
leading to the west Highlands,
could hardly have failed to note
the extensive improvement being
made in the tract of land lying
directly north of the road at the
"Kadow" hill. Many horses, scrap
ers, and men have been busy for
the last month moving good siz-
ed hill, mostly of rock, and filling
up several gullys that once de-
faced this particular corner OF the
Nelson peach orchard.
i Approximately two acres OF land
have shared to a more or less de-
gree, in the extensive revision OF
the Typography of the land at this
point. The steep bank which at one
time fronted abruptly on the road
is no more; in its place is gentle
slone over which an automobile
could be driven. New soil is being
brought to replace that removed
by the grading and the ground
being fitted, so twas said, for
planting cherry trees.
1t has been pointed out that the
corner is particularly valuable,
partially because of the magnif-
cent view which is to be obtained
which one may obtain from here
of the Kennewick valley, and par.
tally due to its singular freedom
from frost.
w. A. Smalley, contractor ir
charge of the work, estimates that
revising the face of the hill, BY
the time it is finished and an or.
chard growing once more, viii
have cost the owner somewhere il
the neighborhood of $4,000.

WILL REPEAT
VODVIL SHOW
Business Girls to Stage
Their Big Success in
Pasco Soon

Yes, sir; it was fine show. is
the universal opinion of every one
who attended the show put on by
the Business Girls last week. And
there were plenty of people. to
make the remark, too, for the
house was packed.
Following the feature picture,
the girls had a minstrel skit with
black faces and dress suits of var
ious vintages topped by silk hats,
In which they made a fine appear
ance. Song and dance numbers in
tersperced with gags on local >peo-
pie found high favor with the ap-
preciative audience.
The audience also evidenced a
degree of humor when Madame
Seesit (or Knowsit, or something
like that) described Lee Semon, as
the best looking man, now stand
ing, in town. This wonderful per-
sonage, captured in the heart of
darkest, Africa, by the light of a
diamond, also performed the mys-
terious feat of having real live
boy disappear-or something.
A group of beautiful young la
dies, in most attractive costumes,
staged several songs and ballet
numbers which were so enjoyed by
the. audience that most of them
were slow to leave the theatre.
!, The girls have secured an en-
gagement to repeat the perform
ance in Pasco some time in the
near future.

TAKE MOVIES
IN OUR FIELDS
Scenes in Grass and Berry
Patches to Entice
Settlers Here

Next Thursday the asparagus
cutters of the lower valley are ex-
pected to don their most pictur-
esque and attractive attire, for
on that date a party of N. P.
Railroad officials are coming here
to take moving pictures of the
states first crop. Later in the
season the various other products
of the valley will be recorded on
the flickering films. The picture
outfit is not, however, one of the
newest contraptions which records
the voices as well as the actions
of t're subjects. Cuss words, there
fore, need not necessarily be de-
leted.
Following the asparagus, the
strawberry harvesting operations
will be taken, then the other crops
as fast as they are ready. The
completed record of life in this
favored section will be used as a
lure to entice the farmer of the
middle west from his snow-bound
storm-wracked and flooded home
to our valley of Sunshine.
In addition to the movies, which
as yet are more or less in the
experimental stage So far as the
railroad is concerned, first hand in
formation will be secured by John
w. Haw, director of the depart
ment Of agricultural development
of the railroad. This dope will be
used in printed publicity. He will
be accompanied by A. L. Campbell
E. F. Benson, of Seattle, Sam
Miller of Walla Walla, C. R. Craw.
ford, and Harry Glenn of Yakima
These men have for their purpose
the settlement of the idle land II
the projects tributary to the N
p. railroad. They will be guests
at the Commercial club luncheon
next Thursday, where Mr.. HaW
will explain his purposes to the
businessmen of the community.

BEACH BLOCK
UNDER REPAIR
City Starts Alterations on
New City Hall -
Lodge Upstairs

The city last week officially
closed the deal for the Beach build
ing, located on the southeast cor
ner of Washington street and Ken
newick Ave. East, and the lower
floor is being rapidly remodeled
to fit the needs of the city's var
ious departments. The building
will be completely fitted up and
moved into just as quickly as it
is possible to do so, Mayor C. A..
Crawford, stated today.
The office of the city clerk,
council chamber and public library
will front on Washington street.
They will occupy about one-half
the space of the main floor. The
police station is to be located in
the southeast corner. The remain
der of the space in the rear will
be given over to the fire depart
ment. An opening on Kennewick
Ave. will make 1t easy for the fire
truck to obtain a quick getaway.
At some time in the future the
city Jail may be transferred to a
position in the rear of the building
where it would be more convenient
than it is at present.
The Masonic lodge has leased
the upper floor and intends to fit
it up for use ready for occupancy
by June 1st. Plans for the new
rooms have already been prepar-
ed. The arrangement of the floor
is modelled somewhat after the
Pasco and Walla Walla Masonic
halls; when completed will equal
either of these. The main lodge
room will have adequate seating
capacity for all occasions, except,
perhaps, very unusual ones. There
will be a large banquet hall, kit
chen, three locker rooms, cloak
room, and preparation rooms. The
plans also call for built-in cabinets
for the keeping of official records.

only two changes have been
made in the operating force of

nlaced Arthur Hanratty as night

beat formerly patrolled by S. G..

Nj. Wysong by calling 2374," Mr..
Souderman said. "He is a new man
and will endeavor to give salts

Is soon as he becomes familiar
with his section of the ditch"
The directors of the association
originally planned to start pump
inc on the 18th of this month, but
because of the warm weather and
owing to the fact that many per-
sons desired to set strawberry
plants it was deemed more adj
vsable to start the first of the
week.
It is interesting to note that the
Highland pumping plant is one of
the largest of its kind in the state
Of Washington, supplying water
for some 2600 acres of land. Water
for irrigation costs the average
apple grower less than two and a
half cents a box, it was pointed
out by Manager Sonderman.
