DOUBLE BILL
TO BE SHOWN
AT LIBERTY
Premier of New Star is Fea-
ture of Merchants Offer
ing to Customers; Many
Specials on Display

With what is probably the first
movie premier ever to be staged in
Kennewick the merchants of the
city are extending a cordial invi-
tation to everyone to be their
guests at the Kennewick Liberty
theatre this Saturday.
Arrangements have again been
made with the theatre manage

but will pay 5 cents admission
and will not need the merchant
coupons. The doors will be opened
at two o'clock for continuous
performance.
In addition to the gala movie
attraction, merchants have loaded
their stores and shops with many
bargains advertised in this edi-
ton, of every description that no
household can afford to miss.
A double feature program is
scheduled at the theatre, and the
first showing in the Northwest Of
Blonde johnson" starring Joan
Blondell, Chester Morris, Earl Fox
and Mae Busch will give everyone
the first chance to see this famous
picture. Advance information on
the picture says it is a fast-mov-
ing comedy-drama that will appeal
to everyone. While the public is
ordinarily tired of so-called "gang-
ster" type of pictures, this cinema
carries a new twist never before
used. 1t will show here ahead Of
theatres in Seattle, Tacoma, Spo-
kane and Portland.
The second feature, "The ANA
zon Head Hunters" is a feature

count of the expedition, and was
made for scientific and photo
graphic purposes.
At the last show two weeks ago
much difficulty was encountered
in an effort to heat the show due
to its long period Of vacancy, but
the management has managed to
overcome this obstacle and prom

WALLA WALLA
CANNERY MEN
TALK STOCK
Urge Kennewick Interests to
Back New Factory; to Take
Tomatoes and Pears from
this District

Representatives of the Walla
Walla cannery were guests at the
chamber of commerce luncheon
this noon. p. j. Burk, manager Of
the plant, and j. G. Kelly, publish
er of the Walla Walla Bulletin,
both spoke on the accomplish
ments and prospects of the new
plant.
Mr.. Burke told of the sales he
had made and the possibilities for
taking all the cannery grass this
district would produce. He said the
company had firm orders which
would require an expenditure of
$122 900 to fill in grass alone. He
also said that the grass tonnage
was not the only product which the
plant would require from this
area. Last year, he said, his books
showed that 800 tons of tomatoes
were shipped to his plant from
here. This year he had orders for
three times that tonnage already
booked. He also stated that the
company expected to get them en-
tire tonnage of pears from this
district.
Mr.. Kelly asked financial sup
port from the district, basing his
plea on the value of such an insti-
tuition to the district in the way
of creating a payroll, as we'll as
an outlet for the growers pro-
ducts. The chambers special can
merry committee was called to con-
fer in the afternoon with the del
egation from Walla Walla in re-
gard to the possibilities for the
sale of stock in the Walla Walla
plant locally.

COUNTY TOGET
PAYMENT FOR
RAILROAD TAX
Nearly Sixty Thousand is
Size of N. p. Check; Pays
Delinquencies Held Up in
Court Proceedings

All legal preliminaries have been
cleared away for the final settle
ment of the controversy over the
payment of the Northern Pacific
railroad delinquent taxes. A for
NAL order signed in Judge ]. STAN
ley Webster's court in Spokane
the first of the week was followed
by the immediate payment to
those county officials who were
present at the meeting.
Payment of the Benton county
portion will be made tomorrow,
according to word received by the
local officials. The amount of the
check which the N. p. will deliver
to the county treasurer is just un-
der sixty thousand dollars. This
sum will clear up all the unpaid
railroad taxes up to and including
1881.
The payment will be allocated
to the various school districts and
municipalities, according to the
delinquencies in the years in con-
troversy. City officials estimate
that something over five thousand
dollars will come to the city's
funds, while the school district
will receive in the neighborhood of
eight thousand dollars. In both
cases the money will be used to
retire outstanding warrant indebt-
edness.
While the compromise figure ar
rived at is much lower than the
county expected to receive, new
ertheless, the settlement Of the
case will establish a basis upon
which future assessments can be
made, and the figures so estab-
lished will permit the railroads to
make their payments without the
delays occasioned by the habit of
protesting.

Newport, II. l., Feb 6-Minus the services of the widely-heralded Johnny Griffin, who watched the games from the sidelines, the Crosby High quintet of Waterbury, Conn, leaders of the Naugatuck Valley league, defeated Rogers High Saturday night in the most sensational game played here in years, turning what appeared a one point defeat into a one-point victory in the final 15 seconds of play when Eddie O'Donnell cut the lacings with a beautiful long shot from midcourt giving the Nutmeg State boys a 31 to 30 triumph and their 11th victory in IA starts.
