Father Callahan Is
Honored by Parishes

A joint picnic of st. J0seph's
parish, Kennewick and st. Mary's
Mission, White Bluffs, was held
last Sunday on the banks of the
Yakima river at the John Citron
ranch at Richland. The occasion
was to celebrate Father Callanan's
tenth anniversary as a priest hav-
ing been ordained in his native
land, Ireland, June 8, 1919.
The program consisted of a pic
mic lunch followed by athletic con-
tests, baseball, games.
A spirited contest was waged
between the young boys of Ken
newick and White Bluffs, result
ing in a win for the st. Joseph's
boys, five to one. The single men
easily outplayed the married men
the score being eleven to one.
In the athletic contests the fol.
lowing were winners: Boys race,
100 yards, Francis Shanahan 1st,
Raymond Walker, End. Girls race
Dolores Mccarthy 1st, Florence
Dupuis, End. Married women's
race-Mrs Will Slaughnessy 1st,
Mrs. Frank Friedman End. Mar
ried men-John Dam 1st, John Cit
ron End. Men over so years of age
Frank Lincoln 1st, j. D. McCar-
thy End. Fat Women's race-Mrs,
Walter Murawski 1st, Mrs. Ernest
johnson End. Ladies free for all
race-Mrs. Frank Friedman 1st.
Mrs. Will Shaughnessy End. The
Richland men easily won the tug
of war contest. Mr.. and Mrs Mar
eel Dupuis and their twelve child
rem had very little competition in
winning the sack of flour donated
by the Kennewick Flour Mill for
the largest family on the field.
The day was brot to happy con-
clusion by short talk by Charles
F. Wooten, who on behalf of the
entire parish, offered his conprat-
ulations to their pastor and pre-
sented him with token of ap-
probation and good will. This was
Ia surprise on Father Callahan, who
replied in humorous manner by
saying he was only eight months
in his new parish and he hoped he
would remain in eight years and he
was sure he would then feel as
bad leaving Kennewick as he did
leaving Newport. Patrick Condor,
who is visiting Father Callahan,
was an honored guest at the party.

TOLL HOUSE
ROBBED LAST
FRIDAY NIGHT
Floyd Hutchins on Relief
Duty When Hold-Up Oc-
Cured; $29.50 Secured by
Thief; Full Insurance

A hold-up occurred at the toll
house of the Kennewick-Pasco
bridge Friday night about HAS.
Floyd Hutchins, of the local post
office, was on relief duty when
the hold-up occurred.
Only $29.50 was secured by the
robber. The loss is covered by a
hold-up policy. This is the first
hold-up of the bridge since it was
built seven years ago. 1t is the
policy of the Northwest Toll
Bridge Co., owner of the bridge,
to carry only small sums Of cash
ON hand and in no event over $50.
Floyd had just finished eating
a sandwich when he heard a tap
on the window and looked out to
see a gun pointing at him. He was
commanded to "Open 'er up!" This
he proceeded to do, fumbling with
the cash register until the robber,
who wore a red bandana handker-
chief over his face, objected. Then
Floyd tried to count out the bills
but two cars were approaching in
different directions and the man
grabbed the money and leapt over
the side railing and disappeared.
There were apparently two men
in the hold-up. Rev. E. H. Edwards
of Kennewick, who was driving
the car which approached from
the Kennewick side, with Mrs. Ed
wards, thought he saw a man lurk-
ing in the rear of the house. Both
men disappeared in the darkness.

MENINGITIS BAN
STRICTLY ENFORCED


Rigid inspection methods in Asian
ports are expected to keep ships en-
route to America free of spinal men

disease last Spring on several of the
steamers en- route to American ports
from the Orient, plans have been
worked out for such an inspection. The
medical department of the University
of California is cooperating with the
Dollar Steamship Co. in setting up a
far-fiung defense line along the Asian
coast At every Asian port where a
transpacif1c steamer touches there will
be safeguards against Introduction of
the disease. Shanghai is said to have
been the port of infection last Spring
japanese ports are said to be free of
the disease. United States Government
orders cutting down the number of
Steeragee passengers carried IN liners
from the Orient are expected to aid
still further in keeping these liners free
