Many Attend the
Formal Opening of
RaynOnds' Bldg.

Dated for the Gay OF the big kids
parade, the formal opening of the
new Raymond building last Satur-
day was decided success. An unus-
ually large number of people in
spected the new building and stock
which the Raymonds had provided.
It was the general concensus of
opinion that the new modernistic,
fireproof building was decided as
set to the business blocks in Kenne-
wick and would greatly aid in the
improvement of that side of the
street as well as the upper end Of
the business district.
The Raymonds contemplate the
enlargement of their building and
have made tentative arrangements
for tenancy Of the new mercantile
room just as soon as the erection of
Pillsbury mill has progressed to a
satisfactory point.
The building, of concrete building
blocks manufactured locally at the
Reese Concrete Pipe Factory, is 25x
60 feet, with half basement to
house the heating plant and the
pipe room for the plumbing business.
Construction work was handled by
McReynolds and DeHaven.

Special Session Begged Down

Washington, D. C.-While every
effort is being made to send to con-
ference at least two Of the four
Presidential measures for which the
present special session of Congress
was called, little hope Is held out for
the enactment of Mr.. Roosebelt's
full legislative program. Even when
the Farm Bill and the Wages and
Hours measure reach the floor Of
the House, the strongest kind Of
opposition is expected to develop.
The refusal of the Interstate Com
merce Commission to grant the rail-
roads an immediate increase in rates
has added to the. current industrial
unrest, and Chairman Harrison of
the Senate Finance Committee es-
Inmates that no readjustment of the
taxation laws as affecting industry
could be expected before February !

masses Of things. No, just this once
she would spend with bang all she
had on something frivolous for her
self. Toby had promised to do the
same.
At noon she happened to notice q
tail person standing by the next
store window. He was absorbed in
thought. Kay hardly breathed while
the man suddenly plunged into the
store door. She crept close to a
sheltering pillar while she watched
what happened inside.
She saw the man point to a wom-
ans rich, quilted housecoat. She
saw him pay for it, and leave, but
without package under his arm.
Just the sort Of housecoat for which
she had yearned hopelessly.
She gasped in dismay. For one
hot second she was possessed with
anger. Toby wasn't playing fair.
He had no right to make her feel
ashamed and abject on Christmas
morning!

was, though not quite what Toby
supposed.

81, because of the hazards Of the work.

years rounding up illicit market duck

the chances are that, If he hasn't been
killed, he has been shot at and beaten
up enough times TO crack his nerve and
so sap his physical strength that he no
longer is able to meet the strenuous re-
quirements of his job.
Consider Agents Roahen and Charl-
ton. A few winters ago these two Fed
eral men were patroling the Sawgamon
river bottoms In Illinois, They suspected
that several commercial duck shooters
were plying their trade IN that desolate
swamp region. AS they made their slow
trek through the thickefs, they heard
several shots nearby. and proceeded IN
the direction of the firing Soon they
saw a hunting coat hung on bush AS
they searched il in an effort to discover
the identity of the owner. they heard
slight noise behind them. Wheeling
sharply the game agents saw two men
with leveled shotguns-
t'Take your hands of that coat and
get to hell out of here If you want to
live!" was the command.
The Federal men dropped the garment
and started backing slowly away. their
hands in the air. When they were but
IS yards from the criminals they
jumped behind trees and demanded that
the men submit to arrest Their answer
was a blast of gun fire which the offi-
GERS attempted TO return.
Evidently the lawbreakers were
hunting for game wardens," not ul-
known practice of such hard bitten
characters, for they were using buck
shot on the officers. whose ammunition
consisted of the standard number

way, apparently unhuTt, after wound

and Charlton were shot through the

buckshot having penetrated their hunt

for violation of the game laws. The
market owner, on the other hand, was
palpably guilty, and sought to cover UP
his source Of supply by giving as the
man who did the illegal shooting, the
name OF person who had been dead
for two years. The case is not closed
yet, for the Biological Survey hopes to
learn during the current duck season
the true identity of the hunter who sup
piled the Baltimore market.

&c about their duties in uniforms which
resemble those of border patrolmen and
state police. To fugitive from justice,
a uniform is uniform, and he is just
as likely as not to shoot at sight OF an
officer.
INDICATIVE of the hazards run by
= game law enforcement officers is the
case of a warden in the state Of Wash
ington. On his regular tour of duty he
ran across a youth who apparently was
shooting Chinese pheasar1ts out OF sea-
son.
The officer merely walked across the
field toward the youth, intending TO
question him When he was within a
few yards of the suspect, the young
man raised his double -barreled shotgun
and fired without warning. He practi-
caIIy blew the officers head off, killing
hin instantly.
Later the murderer was apprehended
and sentenced to prison.
In various parts of the country, the
market duck hunters flourish. The thou
sands of Iagoons and streanl-rnouths of
Chesapeake Bay and the eastern Mary
land shore are ideal for them for it is
difficult for game agents to locate them
