DERN-DRUMM0ND

Sunday afternoon. at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. R. M. Durnal in Sec.
Z, a quiet wedding was solemnized,
uniting Frank w. Dern and Miss
Pearl M. Drummond in the holy
bonds of matrimony. The ring
ceremony which took place at 1:3O,
was performed by Rev. G. D. Rarey,
the new pastor of the Methodist
church, in the presence of the i'm
mediate relatives of the bride and
groom. The bride was prettily
gowned in cream voile trimmed
with silver lace and embroidery and
was unattended. After receiving
the hearty congratulations of their
friends and relatives, Mr.. and Mrs.
Dern took their places at the we'll
laden dinner table and the wedding
was celebrated in the good old .
fashioned way with an aftern oon of
merrymaking before the young peo-
pie left on the North Bank train
for Spokane where they will spend
few days with relatives and friends
before going to their new home near
Silver Star, Montana. The house
was tastefully decorated with car
nations, the favorite flowers of the
bride.
Out of town guests were Miss Ella
Dern, who came down from Spo-
kane for the occasion, and Theo.
Drummond, of Seattle, who is a
brother of the bride. Both accom-
panied the bride and groom to the
Falls City, and on the journey were
ably assisted by the trainmen and
fellow passengers in giving the
newlyweds a good time while en-
route.
The bride is the daughter of Mrs.
Durnal and has made friends of all
who knew her during her residence
in Section 7. Attractive in per-
sonality, as in appearance, she has
been a general favorite among the
young people and all are sorry to
lose her.
Mr.. Dern, who is the eldest son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Louis Dern, who
came here from Montana last spring
to establish their home in Section 7,

White BLUFFS JOINS
YAKIMA ASSOCIATION

The Yakima Valley Fruit Growers
Association was further strengthened
this week by the addition of an
other district association, that of
White Bluffs. The up-river fruit

to affiliate with the parent organi-
zation and elected local officers as
follows: H. E. Robinson, presi-
dent; E. N. Loveland. vice-presi-
dent; F. j. Bonn, secretary and
treasurer; M. F. O'Brien and Geo.
w. Shaw, members of the board OF
trustees.

CHANGE PHONE SYSTEM SUNDAY

BY Monday night at the latest,
the new common battery switch
board in the telephone Office will be
in actual operation So stated
Manager Brown today. THE board
is in place and the various connec-
tions are all made, with the excep-
ton of the splicing of the new cables.
This we have delayed until Sunday,
when the traffic is lightest, causing
the least inconvenience to our pa
irons. Last night A. l.. Phillips,
one of the foremost experts on the
coast, in telephone installation work,
came over to assist in the work of
making the cut-over."
As was explained in these columns
a week or so ago, the advantages
under the new board are many.
Quicker service, less trouble in get
ting central, no Interruptions dur
ing conversations, and more privacy
are few of the features, the opera
tors being governed by system of
lights, instead of by listening.
Believing firmly in the future
growth of the town, and having con-
fidence that the people of the valley
will appreciate the improved service
the Brown brothers have gone to
this additional expense of installing
board equal, in everything but
capacity, to those used in the larger
cities today. The Browns have kept
the service of the phone system in
this valley well in the lead of the
growth of the town, but this new
equipment puts the service second
to none in the west.

BEAUTIFY RIVER FRONT ON ARB0R DAY
Everybody will Help in Planting Ten
Mile Row of Trees---Holiday
will be Declared

mercial Hall, Saturday at 1 o'clock,
previous to the farmers meeting,
and come to a general understand
ing of what is to be done and how
they are to go about it.
The plans are to make Arbor Day
in this city a general holiday and
close all the business houses. This
will give an opportunity for the
townspeople, as well as the farmers,
to turn out and help the good work
along.
Seeding cherry trees will be
planted, these having been decided
upon as being the best for the pur-
pose, from the standpoints of shade,
hardness and rapid growth. 1t is
thought that enough trees for the
work may be obtained from the
local nurseries at about one cent
each. In addition to the cherry
trees. each worker is invited to bring
something from his own place to
set out grape vines or any kind of
berry bushes will be especially ac-
|ceptable.
To defray whatever expenses there
may be in connection with the tree
planting day, an old-fashioned bas-
ket social will be held the same eve
ming at the Commercial Hall.
Lunches will be auctioned, pro-
gram of entertainment prepared
and the day ended with general
jollifcation.
Now that the good work has been
started, Arbor Day in Kennewick
will be made an annual event, and
each year concerted action will he
taken in improving some particular
portion of the city.

MI WAuKEE TO BUILD,
BEVERLY TO KENNEW|Ck
r..;,eerine Crews Busy and Actual
C.,.,ruction Work Soon to Begin
on Long-looked-for Line

That the Chicago, Milwaukee q
Puget Sound will build this summer
over its right Of way from Beverly
on the main line down the west
lido Of the river to Kennewick
seems evident.
Engineering crews have been at
work during the past ten days cross
sectioring the right Of way in the
vicinity of White Bluffs, and latest
reports are that grading crews are
now establishing camps and prepar-
ing for actual construction.
The railroad secured a greater
norton of its right of way through
the White Bluffs and the Hanford
country more than two years
AGO. but never made any further
move until last week when the
surveyors appeared on the scene at
Beverly.
The following dispatch from
White Bluffs indicates that one i'm
mediate effect of the Milwaukee, s
activity will be the immediate i'm
provement of the properties of the
Pacific Power & Light Company in
the up-river territory:
THE Pacific Power & Light COM
pany placed large force of men
and teams at work Tuesday on
general improvement of the low line
ditch watering the western half OF
the valley of the White Bluffs
country. Most Of the ditch which
remains uncemented will be coated
with a heavy plaster of cement this
spring before the opening of the ir-
rigation season.
"One hundred men are also en-
ploved at Coyote rapids building a
Golfer dam for the laying and pro-
lection of the new intake at the
electric pumping house.
Work on the high line ditch
will be commenced within Is days
and will be rushed by large crews
OF men and teams until completed. "

nor's proclamation and the day will
be ittingly observed as a holiday in
Kennewick by the planting of from
1900 to 1000 trees along ten miles
of the river front adjacent to this
city.
The matter of beautifying the

PROBLEMS OF FROST
FIGHTING DISCUSSED
Experience of Growers Shows that
Eternal Vigilance is Necessary to
Success in Orchard Heating

"Orchard Heating" was the SUBJ
ject discussed at last Saturdays
meeting of the Kennewick Farm
ers' Institute. Owing to the illness
of his wife, D. J. Beinhart, the ap.
pointed leader, was unable to be
present and E. M. Sly acted in his
place. Mr.. Sly has had the benefit
of two seasons experience in smudg-
ing and opened his talk with brief
sketch of this feature of orchard
culture in the Kennewick valley.
According to his many illustrations
and instances of fruit salvation,"
orchard heating is unquestionably
a necessity here. A combination
of ECONOMY and prudence is neces-
sary in making a success of it as
too little midnight oil" burned
is expensive because of the conse-
quent loss of the fruit and too much
is also expensive because of the
waste of the fuel. Huntly heaters,
fuel oil and Tycos alarms were
recommended as the best brands of
weapons in the frost fight.
As considerable space is devoted
to an article on orchard heating
elsewhere in this issue, the discus
sions at the meeting will not be
given.
Through the hard route Of exper-
fence which has been travelled by
not a few of the fruit growers in the
valley, several spoke of the necessity
of constant vigilance in watching
the weather conditions and keeping
a large enough supply of oil on
hand to guard against an emer-
gency such as has been seen here in
the past, sudden and extreme cold
dealing death to the fruit buds.
The man who smudges faithfully
all spring and then, on the last cold
night, gets a little lax and sleeps
ten minutes longer before going out
to look at the thermometer is fire.
quently the man who knocks the ef-
fciency of orchard heating. It is
an established fact that it does work
if properly handled and is a profit
able insurance of a fruit crop.
According to the several testimo-
nies of the farmers in their study of
this big subject, the caprices of tenn
perature and freezing stages is one
of the unsolved mysteries. Buds
will freeze at a certain temperature
one time or in one place and at
another time or place they escape
unhurt. Sometimes it is colder on
high ground than on low, often the
reverse, hence the importance of
having several good Thermometers
scattered over the place. Success
full orchard heating is a science in
itself and one speaker expressed it
we'll, After two years smudging,
l don't know a darn thing about it,
and the more l learn, the more
there is to learn"
The next meeting, Saturday af-
ternoon at the Commercial Hall,
will be given over to study of The
Efficient and Economical Use of
Water"

BAND TO GIVE CONCERT
AND DANCE next week
Henry Filler, Famous Tenor. to Assist
Local Organization in Presenting
Musical Treat

Friday evening, March 1st, the
Commercial Club Band, assisted by
excellent soloists, will give a fine
concert of twelve numbers at the
Commercial Hall. The proceeds of
the concert and dance will be used
to purchase new music for the sum-
mer concerts, in order that the
people of this city may enjoy many
programmes of new and up-to-date
selections, the same as played in
our large cities. A real treat is
promised the public for March 1st,
and the project deserves splendid
patronage, especially as the price
for the concert will be but 25 cents
a ticket.
Henry Filler, the tenor singer who
became so famous in Seattle as a
soloist during his student days at
the University there two years ago,
has been engaged for this concert
and will delight our Kennewick
public with his beautiful high tenor
voice and artistic Interpretation.
Filler is a great tenor and has a very
promising future, as all agree who
hear him sing. He stands over six
feet high, is a powerful athelete,
has splendid stage presence, and
was one of the most popular men in
college.
Among the special numbers on
this programme will be a baritone
solo played by C.. Allan Trip en-
titled "Silver Stream" Polka, and
ia uba solo, "Barbarossa" played
on the big bass horn by his brother,
R.-G. Trip. Each of these solos
are difficult numbers and are so
we'll rendered by the soloists that
they would be credit to any band.
Kennewick now has the best band
in the whole Yakima valley and it
is constantly improving. The leader
and the band boys are hard at work
with rehearsals and are determined
to make this concert eclipse any Of
their previous efforts.
At the close of the concert, the
floor will be cleared and dancing
to the music of the full band will
be enjoyed until past midnight.
Tickets will be collected for each
dance and will be sold for 10 cents
each, three for 25, seven for so cents
or fifteen for 81. The latest hits
will be played for dancing and each
dance will be of good length. This
arrangement will permit the patrons
to dance as often or as little as they
desire.
A jolly good time is promised and
the boys plan to give an entertain
ment that will be long and favor
ably remembered. Don't forget to
reserve the date, Friday evening
March 1st. Complete programme
Of the concert will appear in the
next issue of The Courier.
