p. O. is BUSY
PLACE NOW
Delivery Service this Year
Prevents Congestion
Mail Early Now

It's the same old story with the
post office force. Each Christmas
the volume grows and each Christ
mas is bigger and better than the
one before. For the last week huge
truck loads of mail have been leay-
ing the local office and equally
huge truck loads are arriving on
every train, and the regular force,
one extra clerk, and two extra car
riers are doing double duty to see
that it reaches the addresses.
No record of the number of par
cells handled is kept but it is thos
that possibly the number of parcels
sent out is not quite as large as
last year. However to offset that,
the number of letters and Christ
mas cards sent out is much larger,
and the cancelling machine has
been whirring steadily for several
days. The number of incoming par
cells this year is much larger, ow-
ing to increased prosperity over
most of the country, and peak is
expected Saturday morning.
Due to the intensive early mail
| ing campaign carried on through
out the country for several years,
patrons are doing better each year
and as result more and more of
the Christmas parcels are arriving
in plenty of time to be assured
delivery before Christmas. How
ever, there are always few pa
irons who put off until the last
moment the dispatch of their par
cells and then depend on providence
and the postal service to do the
impossible and get them through.
Monday, Dec. 26th the rural car
riers will make their usual trip,
and the city carriers will make one
delivery trip. The parcel post de-
livery will be made as usual. The
window at the post office will be
open from ten to twelve.

Youth Admits He is Much
Sought Fugitive-Has
S14O0 in Twenties
SAYS HE DID NOT 3
KILL YOUNG GIRL
Airplanes Come to Take
. Him to California
:. Mob Gathers

A youth, who admitted that he
was Hickman, was captured this
afternoon at Pendleton. A mob,
the biggest assemblage of people
ever known in the Oregon town,
surrounds the Jail where Hickman
is being held under heavy guard,
awaiting the arrival tonight Of an
airplane from Los Angeles. So far,
the mob has been orderly, accord
ing to a special report received
this evening from there by The
Courier Reporter.
When captured, Hickman was
driving a stolen Hudson coach,
and admitted that this was the
fourth or fifth car that he had stol-
en- since leaving Seattle yesterday.
About fourteen hundred dollars
in twenty-dollar bills, with num-
bers corresponding to those given
in Los Angeles were found upon
his person, and in his grip were
articles of girls clothing. He ad-
mitted that he was the man for
whom the whole nation has been
searching and that he was impli-
Gated in the crime though he main
tains that he is innocent Of the
killing Of 12-year-old Marian Par
ker.
The capture was made by the
traffic officer and the chief Of
police at Pendleton, just outside
of Pendleton on the highway from
Echo. A telephone message to the
sheriff from town down the Co
lumbia. River highway stated that
a man answering the description
Of Hickman had passed that point.
At that time there was a woman
and two children riding with the
fugitive. When captured. there
were two men riding with him.
While the sheriff went on ahead,
the two other officers stopped the
Hudson and captured Hickman.
Word has been received from
California that an airplane was on
the way to Pendleton and would
arrive about nine o'clock to take
Hickman back.
A later report from Pendleton
tonight stated that two airplanes
had arrived and an effort would
be made to get Hickman aboarad
for his return trip to California.
The report stated also, that while
there was a lot of talk about a
necktie party at Pendleton, that
he mob gathered at the Jail was
gradually dispensing and that the
temper was cooling noticeably.
Hickman, afte rfurther question
ing, stated that man by the name
Of Andrew Kramer, fiend had
killed the young girl, assisted BY
an unnamed woman. Hickman said
his only participation was in the
return Of the body.

FINE SHOW

A packed house greeted the per.
formers at the Liberty theatre lasi
Friday afternoon when the pupils
OF the grade school staged their
annual Christmas operetta. It was
mighty fine little show, in the
opinion of those who witnessed the
performance, and a great deal OF
credit is due the teachers and Miss
idol who directed. The kids all
performed their parts splendidly,
from the group dances in the pre-
lude to the final awakening of The
Kitchen Clock.
The school officials and espe
cialy the teachers in the Washing
ton building wish to publicly ex-
press their appreciation for the
donation of the use of the theatre
on this occasion.

VOLUNTEERS
ARE WANTED
Need Men to Help Erect
Tabernacle-Need not
be Carpenters

The Laymen's tabernacle has ar
rived in Kennewick and is await
ing volunteers for it's erection. The
last load of material was hauled
onto the lot just west of the Ken
newick Hotel today and is being
assembled ready for work tomor-
row morning. Those in charge es-
innate that it will take about three
days to put the building together,
ready for the services which will
start the first of the year.
The tabernacle is a knockdown
affair, and is part of the laymen's
program for the valley. The plan is
to hold a series of meetings for
about month or six weeks in each
of the valley towns, ending with
a big campaign at Yakima next
fall. The first series of meetings
was held in Sunnyside, where a
fine attendance was noted. The tab
ernacle was then disassembled and
moved to Prosser, where series
of meetings has just been complet-
ed.
The association, non-denomina-
tional, has hired Evangelist Art
Pope to conduct the meetings. Just
at present Rev. Pope is holding
meetings at Finley and Hover. He
expects to be called to Chicago ov-
er the holidays, after which he
will return to Kennewick for the
series here.
