School Slows Up Borrowing of
Books; Library Has Grown

a book, and in this way a start
was made. Through donations Of
money and used books, the collee-
ton grew. When Mrs. Amy g.
Bartlett died, she bequeath $4,000
to the library. The interest from
this sum, amounting to an average
og $500 a year, added to the $3.50
monthly given by the city, provides
money for the purchase Of new
volumes.
Several valuable sets have been
donated, sets which the state L.
brarian declared could not be af-
forded by the state library at
Olympia.
The library has travelled around
town quite a bit since it settled
down in the city hall. It was first
in the basement of the Commercial
hotel, then in the building now oc-
cupied by the mortuary, and mex
in the old city building that stood
on the corner where the Richards
Gest garage now stands. Mrs. Me-
Kain has been Librarian since 1871.

NIGHT FLIGHTS
OBRING EAST
NEAR BY MAIL
Chicago Just 26 Hours Away,
New York, "a; Delivery to
Texas Points Even Swifter; ;
No Gain to Western Points

With the beginning of night fly
ing on the Pasco-Salt Lake line,
effective September Is, Kenne-
wick business men are brought IL
hours closer to their wholesale
houses in the East.
For example, mail for eastern
points deposited before a p. m.
will reach Chicago at 6 p. m. the
next afternoon, and New York al
$40 a. m. the second morning. The
mail for southern points such as
Dallas or Fort Worth, Texas, if
deposited at the office by a p. m.
will reach its destination about
$3.50 the next afternoon.
Air mail service, effective on
the same date, has been establish
ed to Spokane, Portland and Sc.
attic, with an early morning SER
vice to Pasco to these points, but
as far as Kennewick is concerned
no time is gained over the present
train service, as mail for these
points deposited any time during
the day at the Kennewick office
is received in these cities the next
morning in time for the first de-
livery.
The new connections with the
East, however, will prove a de.
cided advantage in time-saving in
business correspondence.

FIRST SQUAD
LOOKS GOOD;
TO PLAY SOON
Coach Linden Pleased With
Work of First Team; Re
serves Not so Good; Game
With Hermiston, Sept. ~.

With 25 men in uniforms and
four or five more expected next
week, the first team of the Kenna-
wick high school football squad is
shaping up well, in the opinion of
w. E. Linden, coach. Five letter
men were eliminated last year by
graduation. In spite of the promis-
ing material in the first team, the
reserves are showing up rather
poorly, Linden said.
Those who stand out in the prac-
tice this week are Boyd Rupp, ITO
pound guard, Harold Nelson and
Otto Brue, tackles, Kenneth Hitler
and Henry Scott, sophomore,
guards, Herb Crawford, letter
man from last year, Bill Frazier,
Bill McGahey, who is good kick
er and a reserve from last year,
and Bill Preston and Bruce Will
liams, quarterbacks.
The first game of the season
will be played September ~ with
the team from Hermiston, Oregon
on the field here. Season tickets
for the football and basketball
games will go on sale Monday
morning, September 16, at So. The
purchase of one of these season
tickets admits the holder to ap-
proximately Sc worth of football
and basketball games. The Asso-
ciated Student Body is handling
the sale of tickets as before.

fun, Mildred, to think that all of
those things were used by our
grandmothers, great-grandmothers
and ever so many great-greats.

WORK IN GAS
FIELDS GOES
AHEAD FAST
Foundations For Compressor
Completed, Cooling Pond
Ready, Station Foundations
Built; Roads Bad

Work in the Kennewick gas
fields is progressing rapidly, even
under present handicaps, accord
ing to Edwin Hurst, superintend-
ent for the Northwestern Natural
Gas company. Hurst reports that
the foundations for the compress
ors have been completed and a
cooling pond, built of concrete has
been poured and is ready for use.
Foundations for the main sta
ton and the auxiliary stations
have been built and as soon as the
material can be put on the grounds
these buildings will be rushed to
completion. A complete electrical
plant will also be built, the equip
ment for which has already been
ordered and shipped.
Residences for the operators will
be erected. These residents will be
modern in every respect, including
conveniences permitting the use of
natural gas from the fields.
Hurst reports that the contract
ors are having a great deal of diff
ficulty in getting the material on
the grounds owing to the condition
of the roads. With the heavy haul
ing that has been necessary, the
dirt roads have rapidly gone to
pieces, and until the fall moisture

material is being hauled over the
steep grades from the west, tho
this road is also being cut up rap
idly.
The big ditching machine, fol-
lowed by. the welding crew, has
completed the assembly lines and
the main pipe to the upper valley
towns is now being put under the
ground. Work is also being pushed
on the distributing lines in Pros
ser and Grandview.

WEIGH PLANT
MAY BE BUILT
IN KENNEWICK
Western Manager of Grape
Juice Company Looks Over
Territory; Indicates Report
Will be Favorable.

Kennewick is being considered
as good location for an addition
al factory for the manufacture Of
grape juice by the Welch people.
A representative Of the company
was in Kennewick the last Of. the
week making inquiries concerning
the grape acreage, the possibilities
for increasing it, the gallonage Of
the crop, the average yields, and
so forth. This information has been
gathered by the Commercial club
and submitted to the company.
Due to an increase in the Welch
distribution and some contemplated
changes in their products, the COM
pany finds it necessary to secure
additional manufacturing facilities.
For the western trade particularly
plant out here is considered a
necessity.
E. w. Fenton, manager for the
western division for the Welch
company, who was here Friday,
was surprised at the acreage now
in vineyards in Benton county.
When told that, under proper con-
ditions and suitable contracts with
growers that this acreage could be
increased to several thousand, he
appeared satisfied on that score.
The quality of the product grown
here, the yields and the gallonage
as well as the transportation facil-
tiles afforded all came in for fav-
orable comment from Mr.. Fenton.
A report Of his Investigations will
be considered by officials Of the
company, with a reasonable as
sumption that the possibilities at
Kennewick will make favorable
impression.

Life of Sick Child

Nineteen minutes after Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles Warter decided to
send their sick baby to Spokane
by airplane for treatment, plane
piloted by Lieut.. George Hallett,
carrying Warter, the child, and
Zona Paulson, was in the air and
winging its way toward hospital
$50 miles away. This was Satur-
day.
After an hour and a half, the
plane landed in Spokane, and the
passengers rushed by automobile

no chance of life here, has a good
opportunity to recover under spec
ial treatment in Spokane. Mrs.

DUCK SEASON TO
OPEN. NEXT WEEK
Birds Will not be Good Eating Un-
til Frosts; Bag Limit on Water
fowl Same as Last Year.

Hardly seems possible, but next
week duck season opens. Hunters
may start banging away at 5:02
next Tuesday morning, according
to Game Warden Nick Palmer, who
was down from the county seat
yesterday to get the boys lined up
on the shooting for this year.
Owing to the warm weather,
however, Palmer states that the
birds will not be fit to eat, so,
aside from the sport, there is no
sense in shooting until we have a
few frosts. The season on water
fowl will open Tuesday morning
and remain open until sundown
December 81. The bag limit and
other conditions regarding this
class of shooting will remain the
same as in previous years.
There has been some little agi-
tation by few of the counties in
the central part of the state to
postpone the opening of this season
for a couple of weeks, inasmuch as
the birds are not fit to shoot at
this early season. The northern
counties of the state have SO far
succeeded in preventing this move,
according to Palmer.
There will he seven days for up
land bird shooting this year. How
ever, it will be legal to bag quail
this year on October 81 and 80,
only, along with the pheasants and
Hungarians. The open days will be
Sunday and Monday, October 13
and IA, then Wednesdays and Sum-
days for the balance of the month,
seven days in all. The bag limit
will be seven birds, with no more
than three pheasants, with four of
the other birds, not exceeding sew
en- in all.
Palmer states that there will be
a normal crop of birds this year,
though there are not as many
pheasants in this end of the county
as there are further west. He lib
Grated some three hundred from
the state farms, ITS of which were
below Kennewick. He says that the
numerous house cats in the vicin-
ity, as well as q larger number OF
hunters in this section, has kept
the birds thinned down in this end
of the county.
