CHEST CLINIC
TO BE GIVEN
NEXT w EEK
Tuesday and Thursday Set
For Free Examinations /;
Plan is Part of State Pre-
vention Campaign

A free chest clinic will be held
in Kennewick in the mornings of
February 2 and A, 1892, and in
Prosser the afternoons of the
same days, under the auspices of
the Washington tuberculosis as
ISOLATION. The clinic will be con-
Quoted by DR.. Seth L. Cox, dag
nostician for the association.
Mrs. Ida Cullen, county nurse,
will assist at DR.. Spaulding's Of
flee and the court house at Pros
ser.
Since examinations will be linn
tied to Is persons daily, appoint
ments should be secured early thru
the county nurse. Information
must be given previous to the
clinic date to secure the best re-
suits.
DR.. Cox, who succeeds DR.. Les
lie p. Anderson, and who has had
an extensive experience in clini-
cal work, states that tuberculosis
infection in children is practically
always accompanied by enlarge
ment of the Emphatic glands at
the rot Of the lungs. Such con-
dition does not invariably mean
that the child has definite tuber-
culosis. However, an examination
followed by observation at inter-
walls, will reveal whether or not
tuberculosis is present, which is
the first step in the prevention of
the disease. Children appearing at
the clinic for examination should
be accompanied by an adult, pre-
ferably parent, so that the con-
dition of the child may be more
accurately determined.
The clinics are held periodically
in those counties of Washington
which maintain a county nurse and
are sponsored by the local league.
Preparations for them are in
charge of the county nurse, the in
terval between clinics being de-
termined by the nature of this pro-
cedure. Any one desiring a chest
examination should therefore con-
suit her without delay.
These clinics and literature about
tuberculosis are part of the nation
wide campaign against tuberculo-
sis made possible by the annual
sale of Christmas seals.

Sale of two tracts of land on the

pie is an evidence of the faith Of

sibly,the most slightly building site
in the entire valley. Mr.. Wray in
tends to plant the tract to cherries.

IN COMPROMISE,
R. C. Bremmer at Service
Station Talks Masked Youth
Out of Demands; Heads for

A masked youth, armed with a
big revolver, stepped up to R. C.
Bremmer at his service station just
west of town last night and de-
manded ten dollars. Bremme1
compromised with the youthful
bandit and handed him $1.5O.
Bremmer had stepped out to

covered with a mask and brand.
ishing a big gun. "I'm on my way
to Spokane, and haven't had q
thing to eat for three days." he
said. "Give me ten dollars"
Bremmer, unarmed and alone
replied: "Well, if you're hungry
come on in and I'll give you some
thing to eat on" Walking around
to the cash register he picked up
d dollar and a half and gave it to
the bandit, who Immediately slip
ped out of the door and ran across
the fields toward the railroad.
The robber was not up on the
latest in highway technique, &C
cording to Mr.. Bremmer, for there
was more money in the till which
the robber might have been able
to get, even tho he didn't want to
spatter blood all over the service
station.
The same evening another SER
vice station was robbed. The sta
ton on the highway to Pasco OPP
Grated by Halliday has an open
front in which small items Of mer-

arettes. Taking down the pavement
in the direction Of the bridge, he
scattered packages as he ran, fin
ally distancing Halliday who had
taken after him. The cigarettes
were recovered.

SPRING HAS COME, TRA-LA.

Saturday morning when Mrs. E.
A. Miller found a daisy growing
and blooming in her yard on Third
Avenue, in the open, unprotected,
is showed that Kennewick had en-
joyed mild winter, but upon q
little inquiry we found that the
Robins considered this a good place
to winter. Several flocks are stay
ing here-one at Church's plant,
another on Washington street and
others in the Highlands. j. r.

finding green asparagus growing
in his field, while many flower

CHANGE PLANS
ON HIGHLNDS
POWER CANAL
Ditch to be Raised to Provide
Greater Drop at Power
House Site; 160 Days to
Complete Work

Authorization to purchase 20 ad-
ditional acres for right Of way
along the Prosser power canal Of
the Kennewick highline unit was
received this morning by Superin-
tendent J. S. Moore Of the YalSi-
ma reclamation office. Moore has
been engaged for several weeks in
lining up details. Alterations in
engineering plans for the canal
make the transaction necessary.
Higher Land Needed
The property is scattered along
the northeast boundary Of the
present right Of way over the last
mile Of the canal survey, the sup
erintendent says. The original
right Of way was purchased from
the Kennewick irrigation district
under the plan for the development
of the 4000-acre Kennewick high
lands. Owing to changes in the pro-
posed drop at the powerhouse site
and the slope of the canal, more
land higher up on the river bank
became necessary and Moore ar
ranged the purchase. Several own
ers were dealt with and the total
to be expended for the 20 acres is
about $4,000, Moore declares. For
malities of the purchase will be
completed soon.
In the near future Moore con-
templates arranging details for
construction Of the mile-long pow
er line which will carry power from
the proposed hydro-electric plant
to transmission wires Of the Pa
cific Power & Light Co., which
will carry it to the highlands
pumping plant near Kennewick.
Official Notice Given
Yesterday Moore served official
notice on the General Contracting
Co. of Seattle to start work on
construction of the power canal.
The company will have 100 days
! in which to complete the work un-
der the contract.-Yakima Herald.
