DREDGE "UMATILLA" CLEARS ICE
FROM CHANNEL

Navigation up the Columbia river
opened Saturday when the Steamer
Mountain Gem made the regular
trip to up-river points as far as
Wahluke and was hailed with de-
light by residents of the up-river
country. This is the first trip since
the ice shut off navigation on Janu.
ary 9th. This trip was made pos
sible two weeks earlier than other
wise on account of the good work of
the government dredge Umatilla"
in clearing the channel.
The dredge first cleared its way
through the jam at Richland and
worked on up to Savage Island
where the second large jam was en-
countered. At this point the crew
had an exciting time. The first
rush they made broke off Il large
part of the jam, perhaps half acre
in extent and the dredge went on
past it to work on the much larger
part remaining. This also broke
loose and started down stream at a
much faster rate of speed than the
first one and for a time it looked as
though the dredge would surely be
caught between the two foes and
badly damaged. But by working

ten days will begin the erection of
a brick or stone building in which
their plant will be installed. They
have an up-to date equipment and
will give the Kennewick, Richland,

best service. Both gentlemen have
been residents of the Yakima Val
ley for several years and come to
kennewick with the very highest
recommendations. Kennewick peo-
pie have been wanting a modern

will receive loyal support
from the start.

backward and forward and causing
the swell of the wave to accelerate
the speed Of the lower ice section
and throwing the wave against the
upper one to retard its progress it
was finally possible to get to point
where it was possible to slip around
the floating ice field and continue
the TRIP up stream. The dredge
worked its way slowly through
about mile of ice in clearing the
channel at Savage Island.
For breaking down the ice the
Umatilla uses its big iron rake
weighing five tons which is lifted up
ten or twelve feet above the ice on
the swinging crane by the hosting
engines aud dropped. Sometimes a
second drop was necessary to break
through the ice SO tightly was it
wedged and frozen together. At
other times large sections were dis
lodged which required the utmost
skill of Captain Winslow's maneuv-
erng to get out of the way Of. The
people Of the Columbia Valley
should appreciate this work of the
dredge and see to it that it is kept
on this part of the river to do much
needed work on the channel i'm
prOyement.
After clearing the channel here it
WAS found that there was nothing to
hinder the steamers, the dredge re-
turned to Kennewick to report the
good news that the river was open
and make preparations to continue
the work at Homily Rapids.

BROWN BUYS TELE-

EXTENSIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS
PLANNED

The last of the week A. T. Brown
closed deal with the other mem
bers of the Twin City Telephone
System whereby he becomes the
owner of the franchises, lines, terri
tory and all property personal and
real which that system owned on
this side of the Columbia river.
The property was transferred to the
new company, which is called the
kennewick Valley Telephone Co.
without incumbrance. The terri
tory includes the Kennewick Valley
complete and includes Richland,
Finley and Hover as well as the
local and suburban lines.
A. f. Brown, the manager Of the
new company, will at once begin
the work of improving and extend
ing the system. A new switch
board and a car load of poles have
already been ordered. In the near
future a line will be strung to Fin
ley and give a large number OF con-
nections down the Valley. The
system will be greatly improved and
strengthened in the town limits and
the number Of subscribers increased.
Mr.. Brown is now in Portland to
investigate the merits Of new ap-
pliances which will bring the system
up-to-date. By this change
the system becomes strictly home

DE|CHTON WINS
DAMAGE SUIT
JURY SAYS ARIE HOVER MUST
PAY S1,400

The damage suit brought by c.
II. Deighton against Arie Hover
was decided in plaintiffs favor last
Saturday at Prosser and the jury
fixed Deightons damages at 81 400.
This result was reached after three
days hard fighting in the Court in
which Deighton was represented by
II. J. Snively Of North Yakima and
Humphrey & Cole. Hover's at
torneys were Happy & Hindman of
Spokane, and E. l.. Kolb, prosecut-
ing attorney for Benton County.
The case arose out of a land trade
between the parties iii February,
1905 in which Deighton traded a
timber claim in Oregon to Hover
for land south east of Finley and
lots in the Fountain Park addition.
Prior to this time DeightOn through
his father-in- law, Mr.. Willets, of
Duluth, MINI. had been carrying
on negotiations to sell this claim to
the Wcyerhauser Lumber syndicate.
Willctts sent telegram advising
Deighton that he had first offer of
s. 900 for the timber claim and
asked instructions. Arie Hover re-
ceived this telegram and receipted
for it on a certain Wednesday. He
kept it in his possession, and alter
a couple of trips to Section 7 where
Deighton was living and before the
end of the week had pushed his
trade through. The papers beil G
made out on Sunday but dated
back to Friday, Feb. 21, as Satur-
day was Washington's birthday and
a legal holiday.
In the following week Deighton
received a letter from his father-in-
law telling about the offer and ask
ing why there had been no response
to the telegram. Deighton went at
once to the telegraph ofHc and from
their records learned of it's delivery
to Hover. At the trial the telegram
was, its own evidence that it had
been tampered with. Circumstan-
tial evidence was also adduced to
show that Hover knew the contents
of the message. On the other hand
Hover testified that he had placed
it in his coat pocket and had com
pletely forgotten its existence. In
addition to this vital evidence, both
sides introduced much evidence as
to the value of the claim and also
the land in the valley.
The case was submitted to the
jury after one argument by plaintiff
and in less than an hour the Jury
agreed on a verdict of $14O0 dam
ages to Deighton. Much popular
interest has been taken in this case
ever since its inception.
