two-gun dramas of the West that
was, featuring that inimitable
cowboy, Ken Maynard comes TO
the Kennewick Liberty theatre on
Saturday night with the showing
of "The Pocatello Kid To Judge
by the reaction of the audience,
there is nothing that the average
American likes better than fast
action, wild riding and plenty Of
shooting.
Ken Maynard plays dual role
in the Tiffany Productions pic
ture, that of the weak sheriff as
well as that of his rip-snorting
twin brother. The picture offers
plenty Of gun fights, fist fights
and wild riding. incidentally, there
is. just the right amount of ro-
nance running thru the story.
This story would seem to be
just what the doctor ordered to
make us forget the worries Of the
depression. After watching May
nard do his stuff we felt as tho
we had the world by the tail and
could twist it as we pleased.

nation.
1t was "The Famous Ferguson
Case"
The new First National feature
picture is coming to the Kenne-
wick Liberty Sunday and the
Fourth, and if advance reports are
true the local public is going to
have PLENTIFUL supply of chills
and thrills. Also it will get a peep
into the real world behind the
scenes of newspapermaking, such
as has never before been granted
to the great army of newspaper
readers.
Joan Blondell plays the central
role in sThe Famous Ferguson
Case" that of Maize Dickson,
sob sister, or woman reported
for sensational paper. She is as
signed to write sob stuff for
her sheet about the dreadful af-
fair at Cornwall when the wealthy
banker, Mr.. Ferguson of New
York, is found murdered under
circumstances which point the fin
ger Of suspicion directly at Mrs.
Ferguson and her close friend Judd
Brooks.
Wherever "The Famous Fergu-
son Case has been shown since its
recent release, critics and public
have hailed it as the most vivid
and pulsing drama of its kind ever
issued from Hollywood studio.

Seven regular officers were

STOCKS SCORE GAIN
IN LIGHT DEALINGS
Many Issues Are Up Slightly
at Close of Quiet
Session.
BY CLAUDE A. JAEGER,


NEW YORK, December 24-While
the stock market showed slight incli-
nation to indulge in a pre-Christmas
celebration tocay, prices crept irregu-
larly higher throughout the session.
Trading was extremely light, but on
the whole the market gave the best
account Of itself in several days. The
final tone was somewhat Arm. The
turnover for the two-hour session, how
ever, was only about $4,000 shares.
Net gains of fractions to 1l2 points
were numerous. Rails acted better, in
response to the weekly carloadings re-
port. Coca Cola made an exceptional
advance of nearly 3 points, possibly
in short covering, since this issue had
been a bear target recently.
Above Resistance Levels.
Among issues up major fractions to
more than point were Allied Cheni-
CAL American Telephone, Santa Fe
Case, Chesapeake & Ohio, Corn Prod
ucts. Du Pont, New York Central,
North American, Standard Brands and
Union Pacific. United States Steel pre-
ferred lost an early rise. but steel COM
mon was fraction higher at the close.
Tobaccos and oils made little progress
Much Of tie recent selling, brokers
thought, had been tax selling. While
selling Of this character had not been
expected in important volume, owing
to the new restrictions on wiping out
taxable profits or income through losses
on securities, 1t evidently reached size
able proportions. OF course, the ex-
treme dullnesS Of the market made 1t
difficult to absorb such selling, save
at lower prices. Nevertheless. despite
several days of slow recession, the mar
ket as whole held above the lower
resistance Levels of Autumn.
The smaller than expected decline
shown in the weekly car loadines report.
while due almost wholly to sharp in
crease in coal movement, probably re-
sulting from the recent cold snap,
tended to check the decline in the car
rier ISSUES. New York Central, soft
spot earlier in the week, was undoubt-
edly helped by reports that its load
hgs early this week had run above the
corresponding period of last year.
Short Covering.
Evidently much Of the days improve
4nent in prices was due to short cover
ing by traders who wished to tighten
Their commitments over the two-day
holiday. Some brokers were hopeful,
however that with completion Of tax
selling. the market might still have its
traditional year-end rally.
Commodities were not much Of
factor in the days stock trading. since
most of the markets were closed, in
cluding cotton. Foreign exchanges were
marked by some stifIening Of the French
franc. which ruled Is point higher at
800 5-l6 cents. Sterling reacted a
little with cables ruling y cent lower

Grain Market
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, December n.-Forecaste
of cold wave In domestic Winter wheat
territory helped to strengthen grain
values today.
There was no material pressure to
sell either wheat or corn. A firm un-
dertone in the Winnipeg wheat market
attracted some notice here.
With a double holiday ahead here
and with foreign markets closed. Chi
cago wheat traders devoted themselves
largely 70 evening up Of accounts. In
some quarters much stress was put on
assertions that sellers Of wheat future
deliveries In Chicago were virtually CIV
ing away cents q blsfel for the privi-
lege OF being short. 1t was contended
that Chicago May wheat should nor
the cost OF wheat from Kansas City
laid down here. Instead, however. cash
wheat Is commanding cents premium
over Chicago futures.
Bears urged that under such circum-
stances the Chicago market for wheat
futures must eventually seek a world
level Traders who we're bullish as
serted, nevertheless. that wheat futures
would tend to seek the higher price
levels prevailing for wheat available to
be used at once. Predictions were cur
rent that with improved milling de-
mand after the year end. still stronger
cash markets for wheat would be wit
messed. Unfavorable weather condi-
tions tended to uphold corn and oats.

Of the heats there are spills, and they go down,
sometimes one after another Sprawling on the
ice.
IT Is stirring, competitive sport, . style OF
] racing which works to American advantage
in the Olympics. The Europeans have not had
much experience with the peculiar strategy of
group racing. The veteran Clas Thunberg Of
Finland, who has held most of the world and
Olympic championships for the past decade,
has spent q season ON the American tracks,
and gained some knowledge of this mode of
racing.
The classic event of this Olympad will in
volve the meeting Of the veteran Thunberg and
the schoolboy Jack Shea, Americas greatest
speed star, who won the North American cham
pionshp at the age of 18 and who will be in
his prime for speed skating in the 1882 Winter
games
1t is no idle rumor to predict that he will
wrest some Of the Olympic laurels held so long
by the perennial Finn; Shea is marvel at all
distances on the ice.
The outstanding speed skating stars for the
United States are Valentine Balls, captain of
the 1928 Olympic team; Allen Potts of Brook
lyn Eddie Schroeder of Chicago, Ray Murray
and Walter Rutter of New York. All Of these
have gone through long siege of training at
Bear Mountain, New York and Lake Placid
Norway, always strong in speed skaters, has
and Ivor Ballingrud, holder of the worlds
record for 5000 meters. Canada has star of
the first rank Ross Robinson of Toronto, the
present North American champion. The
competition will be keen in this most popular
of the Winter sports
THE figure skating competitions will take
| place in the new Olympic Arena, the only
indoor sports arena at any resort in the world
In the event of inclement weather or thaw at
Lake Placid the insureS full Winter
sports program of hockey, figure skating and
curling on every day.
A great many international stars are COM
peting at Lake Placid in the figure skating for
men, for women and for mixed pairs.
The brilliant Miss Sonia Henie Of Norway,
world and Olympic champion for the past four
years, is the most sensational performer, and
will defend her laurels against such contenders
as Miss FRITZ Berger of Austria, Miss Maribel
Vinson and Miss Beatrix Loughran of the
United States
Miss Loughran competed for America in 1924
and 1928, placing second and third In these
respective meets.
The international series of hockey at Lake
Placid will embrace 18 games. Hockey Is the
fastest game in the world
The leading sextets Of the world Will be IN
action during the games. The Winnipeg team
of Canada looks the best on past performances.
Canada has shown a marked superiority IN the
past Olympic hockey tournaments.
The best of the competitors seen in the
United States are Canadians. and therefore
ineligible to compete for the United States.
While the college teams like Princeton and
Yale have lifted the amateur sport to high
plane it would be a surprise to see an Amerl-
can team win over the Canadians.

The Olympic bob run at Lake Placid on
which the four-man and two-man races will be
held is the fastest in the world. 1t is over
miles, and drops with an average grade of 10
per cent in a circuituous route including
ma jor curves and IA minor ones.
The track is snow and ice packed through
out Some of the curves are 25 feet high, their
towering banks running up almost at right
angles to the bottom. Zig Tag, which Is the
principal IS" curve, and Shady Corner, a
hairpin turn with preceding reverse curve, are
the most thrilling points Of the run.
In the worlds championships last Winter in
Germany all the American entrants were in

Van Hoevenberg run and the type of sled to
be used in the Olympic races, the Americans
are expected to retain their Olympic laureis

Canada, Great Britain and France are among
the entries IN this thrilling event.
THE speed skating events win be held In the

last Winter, the stadium affords one Of the
finest layouts for outdoor ice sports to be found

An amended estimate of the dead In the
