Ten Plaques of Egypt

Contrary to the popular notion,
there were ten plaques of Egypt. 1t is
common error to speak of the "sev-
en- plaques of Egypt" The ten plaques,
according to the Bible, were as fol-
lows: The turning Of the Nile into
blood, covering the land with frogs,
turning the dust into lice, sending
swarlns of flies, killing of the cattle
by murrain, afflicting the Egyptians
with boils, raining fire and hail, COW
ering the land with locusts, covering
the land with thick darkness for
three days, and the destruction of
the first born man and beast.--Ex-

PROSSER SUPPORTS
BRIDGE PURCHASE
Community Club Drafts Resolution
Favoring State Buying Ken
newick-Pasco Toll Bridge

Discussion of the proposal that
the state take over the toll bridge
between Kennewick and Pasco oc-
cupied much of the time of the
Prosser Community club executive
meeting Tuesday of this week.
E. c. Burlingame Of Walla Wal
la. one of the pioneers who came
to the state with an OK team, was
guest of the Prosser club and
spoke both at the luncheon and at
the executive session. Burlingame
advocated state ownership of the
toll bridge, saying that the bridge
should be free as an aid to tourist
traffic. The route through the val
ley from the east is better and
more attractive than the Spokane
Vantage Ferry route to the west
side, he declared. He believes that
removal of the toll charge will
draw considerable tourist travel.
At the request of the Kennewick
Commercial club, the Prosser Com
munity club authorized its road
committee to draft a resolution
favoring state ownership of the
bridge.

BUS SERVICE
TO SPOKANE
Big Company asks for Elk
tension - Two Trips
Daily Each Way

Bus service from Kennewick to
Spokane. with two round trips
day, is a proposition that has
been put up to Kennewick busi-
ness men at meeting held last
night at the Commercial club
rooms. The proposed service will
be given by the Auto Interurban
Co., of Spokane, which company
operates fleet of high class bus
es in and around the Spokane
country.
The proposition was talked over
last evening and the promoters Of
the extension received enough en-
couragement that the matter was
brought before the regular meet
ing of the club today, and a priv
ate petition is being circulated to-
day for signatures to submit to
the state department, when they
seek a certificate of convenience
and necessity.
There will be a special meeting
at Ritzville next week when rep
resentatives from all towns on the
route will assemble to dis
cuss the advisibility Of the estab-
lishment of the new route.
The new service will give two
round trips to Spokane and inter-
mediate points and an express ser
vice will also be maintained. This
will enable merchants and resi-
dents to get to Spokane, transact
their business and return to Ken
newick the same day. It will also
permit one day service on express
shipments.
The Commercial club went on
record as endorsing the petition to
the state board.

SIGMA CLUB TO
HOLD SMOKER
Twenty-Five Rounds Box
ing in Show Saturday
Night at Howe Hall

"One of the best. smokers ever
staged in Kennewick will be held
at the Howe hall, Saturday, April
% at nine o'clock" Such, at least,
is the proud boast of the promot-
ers. Besides the pick of local tai
ent, this smoker is featuring sew
eral semi-professional fighters who
have achieved reputation in var
ious outside rings. Twenty-Five
rounds of boxing is called for by
the program, twelve of these being
in the nature of preliminaries.
One of the main bouts is between
Harry Lytel, who has gained no
little recognition on the Pacific
coast, and Eddie Hammond who has
covered practically the whole of the
western United States and is
well known. Another bout that
should be good is that Of Freddie
Garrett and Ray Rich of Finley,
200 FOUNDERS. Freddie was to have
battled "Unc' Johnson of Pasco,
but because of physical disability
of the latter the bout had to be
cancelled. Others on the card are:
"Red" Barr, Finley VS.. Don Woods;
"Dutch" Lincoln, VS.. "Hank" Mel
son; Gerald Cox, VS.. "Hank" Cott-
man; Elmer Faulds VS.. Bill Fra
zier.
The smoker is being sponsored
by the Sigma club, the athletic
organization of the Kennewick
high school. All proceeds go to the
high school athletic fund. Because
of lack of funds the athletic equip
ment has been ins efficient the last
season and the Sigma club thru
this smoker, hopes to make pos
sible plenty of equipment for next
year.
Such good smoker as this one
is rarely held in Kennewick," says
Joe Kerchel who is managing the
affair, "no one should miss this
chance to see some clever action.
The Sigma club extends a special
invitation to ladies"

Another Handicap Game Coming
with Trip to Walla Walla
to Follow Soon

The perfect day last Sunday
brought out a good crowd to the
golf course and several of the
players have suffered amputation
of the handicap as a result of the
scores turned in.
There will be another similar
contest next Sunday, followed by
by a game with Walla Walla there
the following Sunday. Inasmuch as
the players in all future contests
will be paired with opponents ac-
cording to their handicaps it is
that the local men get
in their cards. Otherwise their ham
dicaps will likely be too low.
The following is the handicap
list as will apply to the game Sun

TAKE
FINLEY GAME
Gregerson Pitches Well
for Visitors - Play
Richland Sunday

The Kennewick baseball team
swept to new heights last Sunday
when the Berry Pickers triumphed
over their ancient and persistent
rivals of the lower valley, the Fin
ley Sand Rats, 1872. Altho Greger-
son, the man who pitched such
a tight game the week before, was
in the box once more for Finley,
he received very poor support from
his teammates and after the Sec
ond inning the game was uninter-
esting. Bill Smith did the twirling
for the Berry Pickers and found
plenty of holes in the Finley bats.
The ball team Penney Ferrell
had in the field Sunday was per-
haps the best array of local talent
ever seen in baseball game here.
The Kennewick team cosisting of
Bill Smith, Montgomery, Warde
johnson. Geo. Broughman, Cecil
Boyer, REGGIE. Joe and John Alex
ander and Martin Hudnall, was
equal to much greater competition
than anything encountered this
season. This same lineup with the
exception of Montgomery travels
to Richland Sunday to play the
Richland team. MONTGOMERY was
injured in the game last week when
he was hit on the arm by a pitched
ball. While the injury was not SER
ious it will probably keep him out
Of the game for the next few
weeks.
Just what the future holds for
Kennewick baseball is unknown.
There is hardly enough interest
taken in the game at present to
make it paying proposition and
yet there are a number of people
about town who greatly enjoy
amateur baseball. According to
Penney there will probably be at
least one more game in Kenne-
wick, Pasco playing here either a
week from next Sunday or a week
later.

JURY GIVES
TOZZI S2225
Suit Against Church Mfg.
Co. for Freezing Pears
in Storage Cut Down

A jury at Prosser yesterday brot
in a verdict for the Tozzi Fruit
Co., against the Church Mfg.
Co. for $2225 and costs of the
case.
The Tozzi Co. claimed damages
Of over eight thousand dollars on
account of the defendant company
allowing some of their pears to
freeze while in storage. The al
legged damage was sustained in
August, 1926, while the plant was
under the management of M. HI.
Church, who has since retired from
the company.
The second case on the court
docket was that of Earl Clements
who was arrested on the charge
of liquor in possession. He plead
guilty and received a fine of $3.50
and costs and sixty days suspended
sentence. The trial of WV. Rice,
charged with grand larcency and
second degree perjury is now being
tried at Prosser.
This case is over Mr.. Rice re-
ceiving eight hundred and fifty
dollars insurance money for the
destruction by fire of building
to which he did not hold title, it is
alleged. 1t is expected that the case
will not go to the jury until late
this evening.
Several of the cases which We're
on the docket at the beginning of
the term have been settled without
being submitted to a jury. Joe
Piccatti, charged with larceny,
plead guilty. Fulton Ward on a
bootlegging charge, is to appear
Monday. Court will be continued
all next week, as there are several
civic cases which will require a
jury settlement.
