HUNDREDS OF
ARTICLES TO
GO ON BLOCK
Seasons Last Good viii Auc.
ton Day to be Held We'd
nesday at Theatre; Show to
BE Featured Again.


Christmas candies, toys and 9TH
er articles which will make accept
able Christmas presents are in-
cluded in the list of merchandise
secured for the third and last Of
Kennewick's Good Will Auction
days, in addition to many articles
suitable for more prosaic use.
Flour, canned goods, wearing APP
parel, cooking utensils, furniture
and whatnot are all displayed in
the window of Gascoigne & Fyfe.
Everything in the window, and
more, will be put up for sale next
Wednesday.
On account Of the weather, the
sale will be held in the theatre ON
Wednesday. The sale will start
at ~ o'clock and will last until
the last article is sold. II is hoped
that the stunt will have been COM
pleted by three, after which the
show will open.
As before, the merchants have
secured a complete show which
will run continuously from three
o'clock on and the admission viii
be but ten cents in cash and q
two-bit piece Of scrip. Kids win
be admitted free in the show the
first hour only. After that the adj
mission will apply.
Holders Of the little green scrip
are urged to attend this sale that
they may cash in on their paper,
as this sale will be the last one
this winter. More articles have
been secured for this sale than for
the last in order that everyone
may secure his share.
The auction stunt is a variation
Of that now obsolete practice Of
the merchant presenting the kids
with a sack Of candy when father
paid the weekly bin at the grocery
store or throwing in a pair Of red
suspenders when purchasing 3
suit. In the present plan, however,
the purchaser is allowed to select
J his own bonus and all the merch-
ants, with but one or two excep-
tions, contribute to the cost.
An element Of fun is added By
the method Of selecting the desir-
ed articles at the auction and adj
ditional amusement is provided -
less than cost by the ten cent
show.
in the meantime, be sure to ask
for your scrip from those merch-
ants from whom you purchase,
that your bonus may be the larger
when you come to the sale next
Wednesday. A complete list Of the
cooperating merchants is printed
on the back Of each piece Of scrip.

Today was the last of the duck

number of nimrods will tonight
oil up their trusty old guns and
put them away for another nine

left is the remembrances of the

during the season, and the thrill
of crawling out of bed an hour be-
fore daylight to be on the stamp

Since the sudden cold spell a
number of hunters reported fine

ICE IN RIVER
CAUSES JAM z
MILES LONG
Threatens FaIIon Bridge Over
Yakima River; Causes the
Farm Land to Flood; Ma
rooms Band of Sheep

A great ice jam on the Yakima
river about a mile below the
town of Richland and extends for
over 2 miles above the town, was
today still menace to the high
way and the Fallon bridge.
HI. S. Hughes, county commits
sioner, said he has had a crew Of
men busy with dynamite in an at
tempt to keep the main river
channel open in case that sudden
chinook wind should free the jams
above the structure.
Rushing waters and pyramids
of ice resembling the tops of jag
ged snow capped mountains now
adorn the main river channel.
In the vicinity of the Fallon
bridge the river has become so
badly jammed that the waters
have been forced to find new out
lets, and have covered numerous
acres of farm lands. Most Of this
land has been frozen over and the
water rushes. along under the ice,
much as it does in the main riv-
er, while ice has been piled up
here and there in great jagged
piles.
The rapidly rising waters has
marooned some stock on high
spots and in one place to the north
of Richland, band Of 400 sheep
is said to be stranded with no way
Ct getting them to safety.
Considerable winter hay stacked
on the lowlands is also in danger
of being swept away before the
rising crest. Ranchers were busy
yesterday forcing teams through
the swirling icy waters to hay
stacks that have been surrounded
in an attempt to save them.
With little encouragement for
relief, as the temperatures con-
tinue freezing, ranchers said they
did not know when to expect the
condition to better itself. Grad
ual rising temperatures were hop
ed for as it would allow the ice to
break slowly and drift down stream
to the Columbia.

ONE THIRD OF
w AFTER TAX
DELIN QUENT
Big Loss is Derived from Dis
trict Property; Collections
from Tolls About Equals
Last Year; Budget Work

& Delinquent lists for irrigation
districts issued today show Col
unbia with q total Of $16,551.25
unpaid from q total levy Of $46.-
642.53. The delinquent figure is
divided to the amounts Of $6,879.-
% in the Bond Fund and 1851 81
in the Maintenance Fund. These
figures include levies against the
state, county and district proper
ty from which no revenue can be
expected, but which must be lev
led according to statutes, accord
ing to Secretary Frank Maupin.
A comparison of collections and
expenditures of 1881 and 1892 ap-
pears as follows:
1891 collections tolls, $21, 997.-
90; miscellaneous, $7,514.26; total
$29,512.19. Maintenance and oper-
alton cost, $23,719.23. Balance
$5,792. SO.
This difference between collec-
lions and costs represents the
amount applied to the payment Of
the old warrant debt.
1882 collections tolls, $2O,416,-
as; miscellaneous, $9,221.84, total,
$29, 638. 80. Maintenance and oper-
alton cost, $2S, 5S5.76. Balance &c.
1926 (applied to old warrants.)
The old warrant debt has been
reduced from q total of approx
mately $4,000 to $9,166 at this
time. The board hopes to have this
entirely cleaned up by the end Of
the 1888 season. The lowered costs
Of labor and material have made
it possible to pay for $4,000
item Of plant improvement last
year within the budget, and q SIM
liar amount will be budgeted for
the coming season. The 1882 bud
get totaled $4,000 and the 1893
budget will be lowered to $4,000
in which is included an item Of
$4,000 for permanent improve
ment.
The levy for maintenance and
operation for the coming season
will be the same as in the past,
$3.50 per acre.
Property having certificates OF
sale issued in January 1892 have
only until January Is, 1888 to pay
and prevent the property from go
ing to tax deed, in which event .
Is percent penalty must be paid

New Order from. n. 2. is that
Railroaders May Still Work
cut of Local Yards; Causes
Much Rejoicing

One of the best pieces OF news
g break here in connection with
the proposed railroad changes was
Given to the public Friday when
vord was received that transpor-
tation men on the Pasco division
would be permitted to retain their
.eniority rights and work from
pasco as the home terminal, states
the lead story in the Pasco Her
aid this week. This cancelled q
nreyious order of November IL
wherein the men had been asked
70 Indicate a preference for as
sirnment to either the Idaho or
The Tacoma division.
AS it now stands the men will
be enabled to retain their homes
here and work the territory coy
cred before with the exception OF
the main line from Yakima to Eli
lensburg which comes under the
Tacoma division. All the branches
out of Yakima, the Mckee, Naches
and Cowiche will be operated and
MANNED by men from the local Pas
co division. Some crews from this
discontinued division will be sign
ed ND for definite periods "a year
at the outset it is understood, TO
work on the Tacoma division be-
tween Auburn and Ellensburg and
Yakima. This is to equalize for
the milage taken from this divi-.
sion and turned over to the coast
unit for operation.
The western terminal for freight
and passenger service crews will
be Yakima instead Of Ellensburg,
conductors and brakeman running
on thru passenger trains will con-
tinue to make the change at FL
lensburg.
Some shifts, to be agreed upon,
II the Yakima yard service will
Be assigned to the Tacoma divi-
sion roster but the balance of the
positions will continue to be filled
from the Pasco roster.
In the case of the yardmen for
merly employed at Ellensburg,
they will be permitted to transfer
their present seniority to the new
work at Yakima, but will take
rank below til emen already work
ing in the Yakima yard.
The general view of this latest
order is very favorable. Only a few
were disappointed, these princi-
pally being employees who had
hoped to transfer to other divi-
sions for some particular reason,
but the vast majority are pleased
by the ruling. Especially is the rul-
ing favorable to home owners
here who had feared a heavy loss
on their homes if forced to vacate
at this time and move to new
fields.
