WING DAM At HOMILLY RAPIDS
Government Work is Completed on
Channel Improvement

The wing dam at the Homilly
Rapids near Hover has been COM
pleted and the water in the
main channel there by sufficiently
deepened to make the river safely
navigable during all stages of water.
In addition many large boulders
which were especially dangerous to
boats were removed from the main
water and this portion of the river
fixed in good shape. The dam is
between 200 and 25O feet long, and
II to Is feet wide at the b4se and
is composed of many hundred tons
of rock boulders which the U. S.
Dredge Umatilla has been at work
putting in place for many months.
The work was completed this week
and the dredge will leave for Lewis
ton Saturday. This stretch of river
has been very troublesome to the
river pilots and one boat, the old
Gerome, was wrecked there loaded
with cargo of wheat. The Com
mercial Club here were very active
in getting the state and the govern
ment appropriation to build the
Umatilla which cost $4,000 and
the cost was bourne jointly by the
state and federal government. This
work which she has just completed
is the result Of that campaign by
the Club.

LOOKING FOR i CITY
HALL LOCATION
Various Sites and Varying Prices. A
Need Difficult to Supply,

The committee of the council ap-
pointed to look up a new site for
the city hall and Jail, through the
chairman, Jas: Crowell, reported
that the committee had investigated
three different locations. Three lots
north of the laundry owned by II.
\. Hover for $4,000; two lots north
of the Kennewick Trading Co..
owned by the samo party, for $1,000
and the Glover lots now owned by
by Otto Hanson for $4,000. On the
last councilman Kruse reported
that Mr.. Hansen had made him a
price of $275O. When this differ
ence in price arose the council laid
the matter on the table to be taken
up for definite discussion later.

new PIPE LINE IN SECTION 7

The farmers in Section ! held
meeting the first of the week and
decided to su ostitute a wire bound
wooden pipe line for the present
leaky fumes and thus greatly i;n-
prove the irrigation system to their
ranches. The main feed pipes from
the ditch will be about 1S inches in
diameter and three big division
wells will feed the individual pipe
lines to the respective tracts. These
pipes will be about 4 inches in dia-
meter. The farmers who are in
terested in this improvement own
about lis acres in Eastern Section
Z and include among others: VIM.
Johnson, C. C. Wilson, J. A. Jones
James Johnston, J. D. Hastings, w
H Thomas L. Grundell, z. V Deck
er and others. The work will COM
mence in the near future and lie
completed before the irrigation sea-
son opens next spring. 1t is plan
ned to have the headgate opposite
the Sweet land and the main pipe
run by the most direct route to the
distributing we'll. By this pipe
system a high percentage of the
water which has been wasted, will
be saved to do its duty on the land.

Farm Residence Burned.

The farm residence of John j.
Bjork four miles north of the city
was burned to the ground late
Wednesday evening. The fire was
not discovered until it had made
such headway that to control it was
out of the question, and none of the
personal belongings in the house
were saved. Mr.. Bjork and Mr..
and Mrs. Peter Olson and baby,
who were sleeping in the house,
escaped with their lives by jump
ing out thru the windows. The
fire started in the summer kitchen
which adjoins the house, but in
what manner is not known. The
only intlammatory material in the
kitchen was a box of matches left
on shelf, and Mr.. Bjork thinks
that possibly the blaze might have
been started by rats gnawing at
them. The loss is estimated at
about $1,000, with only 1920 insur-
ance. Mr.. Bjork will commence
building a new residence as soon as
possible.

SUICIDE IN TOWN
OF WHlTEFIELD
Swan Rasmussen Meets DEATH
By His Own Hand While
Mentally Unbalanced.

Swan Rasmussen Of Whitefield
committed suicide by hanging yes
terday between 10 and II o'clock.
at the home Of his son Ed, with
whom he was making his home.
He left the house shortly after 10
O'Clock, saying that he was going
over to the farm of another son,
Ole, but towards noon, when q tele-
phone message revealed that he was
not there, the people commenced to
search for him.
His body was found in a thresh-
ing machine shed suspended by a
rope thrown over the end Of the
separator. He was dead, and all
the coroner could do when he ar
rived was to pronounce the case a
suicide. Rasmussen had been ailing
for some time, and it is thought
that mental worry over his condi-
tion finally impaired his reason,
and that he took his own life in a
fit of insanity.

JOHAN DAHLHAUG.

The people of Irving were
shocked last Saturday morning by
the announcement of the death of
Johan Dalhaug, a we'll known resi-
dent in that locality. Altho he had
been ailing for several years, he
was seriously sick only a few hours
before he died. Funeral services
were held Sunday forenoon from
the Nordland church, Rev. C. E.
Nordberg officiating. It was with
out doubt the largest funeral from
that church for many years, about
five hundred people attending.
Johan Martin Dalhaug was born
in Throndhjem, Norway, June IS,
1865. He came to this country in
1886. He settled in Irving, where
he has resided ever since. He took
an active part in church work, be.
ing a member of the Nordland Lu-
theran church. but Mr.. Dalhaug is
probably better known as temper.
ance worker. He was of late years
a strong agitator of temperance and
prohibition. His influence as such
was felt in the neighborhood. He
has been a faithful member of the
Nordland Total Abstinence society.
Last July he was elected presi.
dent of that organization and
served until his death. He was al.
ways friend of temperance speak.

ranging temperance lectures and
meetings. He will be greatly
missed by the temperance forces o1

and few enemies. He leaves to

BAD FIRE IN THE
POSTOFFICE BLK
The Building and Chase'S Store
Damaged. .--Postoffice is Tenn
p0rarily Forced Into Street.

Fire last Saturday afternoon de.
stroyed about two-thirds of the
stock at Chase's notion store, and
caused between $1,000 and $500
damage to the johnson block in
which the store is located. Harry
Odell, clerk in the post office, dis
covered the fire about / 40 O'Clock,
and a few minutes later the depart
ment had three streams playing on
the blaze, which had started in the
basement, apparently in partition
between the furnace room and
Chase's store room. The thick
smoke at first made the work of the
boys difficult, but when the exact
source of the fire had been deter
mined they soon had it under con-
troll. Most of the damage was done
in the store part of the building.
The partition between it and the
post office as we'll as the ceiling
was badly charred by the flames,
and the stock located nearest the
partition and consisting of small
dry goods, tinware, stationery,
books. dolls, etc., is a total loss.
The south one-third of the store
Jared better, and the damage done
to the fancy china and glassware
located there is comparatively
slight. The stock was valued at
$500, with $4,000 insurance. The
fixtures were insured for 5000.
The vernme Mt department
suffered no loss whatever, except an
old clothes brush and duster, do
mated to the force. AS soon as the
fire was discovered, every piece of
mail was put in pouches and car
ried to a place of safety, and all
furnishings and furniture were also
removed The registered mail, in
cluding package containing $45OO
in stamps, was taken to the vault
at the First National bank and kept
until the excitement was over. All
the tenants on the third floor also
moved their belongings out. The
wall paper and painted surfaces in
the third story were somewhat dam
aged by the thick smoke, as were
some of the books in the law librar-
les of Attys. Stanford and Rachie.
The damage to the building is fully
covered by insurance, the block be-
ing insured for $4,000.

Lifted q Razor.

A certain local youthful character
stole razor from a grip at the de.
pot between 9 and 10 O'Clock last
Wednesday evening, but he kept it
only about one hour. The sheriff
was notified and also supplied with
a description of the guilty party.
and about II O'Clock the two had
an interview which ended in the re-
turn of the stolen article. The
thief had taken the grip, which be-
longed to a man from Morris, into
the depot washing room, and had
carefully examined all of the con-
tents, deciding to keep the razor
only.
