CURIOUS WAYS OF
TELLING THE TIME.

Until recent years a watch or clock
was a curiosity in Turkey. most primi-
tive methods being resorted TO for
calculating time Even today il is said
that only the rich living in the smaller
cities possess these luNuries.
Nature. according TO a writer IN
Armenia. supplies the clock of the poor
Turk. The crow of the cock Is tho
simplest timepiece The sun Is the
most dependable and convenient The
eats eye is the most dithcult Co learn
and the most amusing to consult.
One Of their methods Of telling time
by the sun is 10 make kind Of sua-
dial OF their hands. They hold their
thumbs so that they touch each other
horizontally and extend the foreingess
up perpendicularly. Then they divide
the thumb and forefnger of each hand
INTO six parts-nominal hour points
one hand representing the morning and
the other the afternoon. According 10
this division. where the thumbs Join
is II o'clock the tip Of one forehnger
represents o'clock In the morning.
and the tip Of the other 6 o'clock IN
the afternoon. The hours between 9
and IL fall nj different points between
the junction of the thumbs and the
tips OF the forennscrs.
Telling the time by cats eye sounds
absurd. but It can he done. The shade
Of the cats eye undergoes n progress
sive change during the day In the
morning the pupil is round. but as the
day advances 1t gradually narrows.
until at noon IL becomes merely mar
row streak. From noon TO night Il
reverses its action, becomes oval at
about o'clock. and is again round az
about 6. IL Is common 10 sce old
people, especially. call the cat in order
TO look at it's eyes and thus get some
idea of the hour

0-W. R. & n. OBJECTS
TO SEWER ASSESSMENT

Ellsworth Benham, special right
of-way agent for the O-W. R. & N. p,
was present at Tuesday nights
meeting of the city council with a
remonstrance against the special as
sessment made for the sewers on
Front street. In his talk, Mr.. Ben
ham explained that the policy of
the company had always been in
favor of municipal corporation i'm
provements, that the sidewalk as
sessment bad been paid promptly,
and that they stood ready to pay,
in cash, fair assessment for the
sewers. His principal objection
was that, as his company had only
a narrow strip of right way thru
the town, which would benefit but
little from the installation of the
sewers, he thought that the North
ern Pacific should be charged with
the expense, and as that road de-
rived material benefit from such a
system they should shoulder the as
sessment. The matter was referred
to the city attorney.

ONE FIRM SHIPS 100, 900
DOZEN EGGS A YEAR

The egg industry in the Kenne-
wick valley is assuming some pro-
portions, judging from the showings
made by the houses handling the
product of the hen. The Fruit &
Produce company is shipping up
wards of hundred thousand dozen
a year, and there is no doubt but
that the other houses combined
handle as many more.
This week Mr.. Sly gave an order
for fifty thousand of the cartons
which the firm uses for their guaran-
teed eggs, and stated that the sup
ply would last perhaps as long as
six months.

STEWART & RESER ARE HEAVY LOSERS IN HATT0N FIRE

Stewart & Reser were among the
heaviest losers in the big fire at
Hatton, which occurred last Sunday
morning. Their largest store there,
purchased couple of weeks ago,
was burned to the ground, entail
ing a loss of about 81 900 with
only 81, 900 insurance. Unfortun-
ately larger policy expired last
week and the firm now have their
regrets as scant consolation for their
oversight. Approximately 81, 900
worth Of stock, badly damaged,
was carried from the burning build
ing and this, with the small hard
ware store is all that remains of
the company's holdings at Hatton.
The fire started in the rear of a

HE1IlNeER BARN BURNS

The barn On the Wash Hettinger
home place at Seventh and McKin-
ley streets was destroyed by fire
last Saturday forenoon about eleven
O'Clock. Mr.. Hettinger had been
burnt ng rubbish about the place
during the morning, and it is sup
posed that spark from one of these
bon fires set fire to the barn. The
building burned fiercely and was
practically destroyed before the fire
boys could get stream turned on.
Mr.. Hettinger lost hack and sur
rey, several sets of harness and
many other articles which we're
stored in the barn. His loss was
about $500 with less than one-fourth
of this amount covered by insur-
ance.

butcher shop, presumably from a
cigar stub dropped in the sawdust
which covered the floor, and the
flames spread rapidly, taking the
butcher shop, store, hotel and
other buildings and making a loss
to Hatton's main business block
totaling twenty or twenty-five thou
sand dollars.
The residents of the town were
panic stricken, as the fire burned
for nearly two hours. and, had it
not been for the good work done by
the fire department of Cunningham,
town three miles distant, Hatton
would have been wiped out. The
town has a good water service but
the low pressure handicapped the
fire fighters to considerable extent.

BUSINESS ON INCREASE
At COLUMBIA CREAMERY
March Shows Ten Per Cent Gain-Ice
Cream Machinery Arrives-New
Butter-Maker Coming

Business is steadily on the increase
at the Columbia Valley Creamery
and accounts of the past month show
that S2O27 .98 has been paid out in
the last thirty-one days in cream
checks, an increase of nearly three
hundred dollars over the checks of
the previous month.
The demand for COWS at this time
is greater than. ever before and the
creamery management finds it i'm
possible to secure the great number
Of cows which the valley farmers
would like to have in their dairy
herds. With the coming of spring
and wealth of young alfalfa and
other herbage, the farmers are TAX
ing great interest in dairying and
each man sees where his alfalfa or
clover fields could be bringing in a
tidy income through the medium of
the COWS. Jerseys are wanted most
and in this section, at least, their
popularity is likely to be lasting as
the small alfalfa tracts are ideal for
keeping this breed.
Machinery has arrived for install
lation in the new ice cream plant Of
the creamery which is to be in op-
Grafton within a few days and will
have an output of high grade ice
cream that will be sufficient to sup
ply all towns of the valley besides
shipments to neighboring cities.
The resignation of John B. White
head, who has been working as but
ter-maker for some months, left a
vacancy which has been filled by
Gustav Hanson, who came to the y.
s. some six years ago after receiving
his education in Denmark. For
five years he has filled a trusted
position as butter and ice cream
maker in the Cooperative Creamery
at Winlock, WASH, and comes to
Kennewick highly recommended as
a capable workman. Mr.. White
heads services have been above re-
proach as he has given entire satis-
faction and is only leaving the COM
pany's employ at this time because
his ranch near Prosser requires his
whole attention.

USE kENNEW|Ck
AS A SUPPLY BASE
Acme Milling Co.. of Portland, Will
Distribute from Here-Repre-
sentative on the Road

Another step was taken this week
toward establishing Kennewick as
the distributing point for the Inland
Empire, when the Chas. H. Collins
Co., secured from the Acme Milling
Co., of Portland, the distribution
Of their lines of goods.
Two carloads of their products,
consisting of cereal foods, are now
on their way to the warehouses in,
Kennewick, and will be shipped
from this point in the future, in
stead of from Walla Walla and
North Yakima. A special sales
man will 60 on the road with one
of the Collins men, and will have
his headquarters here.
This one house will be the means
of bringing into Kennewick many
thousands of dollars during the
year, and like all other home houses,
should have the liberal support of
the merchants and consumers.
As Mr.. Collins explained, Mo-
raj support is fine-and necessary
but it is not worth a tinker's
dumdiddle alone. The actual cash
support is needed as we'll" By
giving the local concerns the pre-
ference, it will be possible to have
them put in larger stocks, and en-
courage other firms to put in stocks
to compete with them. But on the
other hand if the firms that do make
an effort to use this town as sup
ply base, fail to receive the support
of the townspeople, it will be harder
than ever to get others to put In
stocks. The encouragement OF such
concerns means much to this town.
The best of service to the people here
and much additional business for
every business man of the town
will be the result.

Little but scrap-iron is left of the
five passenger Maxwell car owned
by Mayor S. M. Lockerby. While
the car was being driven from Rich.
land to Benton City Monday night
by Arthur and Perry Tulles, it
caught fire and was burned to the
iron. The fire originated in the
carbide lighting system and, spread
ing to the tank, enveloped the
machine in flames in an instant.
The car cost 81 800 two years ago
and was practically good as new, as
it had received very light usage. 1t
was insured for $500.
