SHEEP EATTEN
ON WINTER RANGE
Tacoma Meat Company Buys Fiji
teen Hundred That Were Fed
No Hay During the Winter

The Sunny slopes of the Col
umbia River valley hold the title
for the first ripe strawberry in
the Northwest and they can also
claim the distinction of produc-
ing the first fat sheep. The April
range mutton is as rare a COM
modify as the April strawberry
but it is a commodity in which
Kennewick deals.
The Tacoma Meat company last
week purchased of the Shockey
Sheep company 1,500 head of
sheep that are ready for the
block now. The sheep were win
tered on the open range within a
few miles of this city and were
fed no hay or grain during the
winter.
A Bergheim, president of the
Meat company, who made the
purchase, said the Shockey sheep

HIGH WATERS CAUSE
HALT At CELLO
No Serious Delay in Completion Of
The Canal Is Expected BY
Government Engineers

High water will cause work on
the Cello canal to shut down the
first of next week, installation of
the lock gates having been aban-
ed Friday. The river stood at IL
feet at Umatilla and began pour
ing over the lower cofferdam
early Friday morning. The In
dependent Bridge company Of
Pittsburg, at work on the lock
gates, discontinued work at noon,
says q Portland report.
But few men are affected by
the discontinuance, but probably
Monday or Tuesday about half
the men at work on the canal will
be forced to quit work. tits Ma
jor Morrow's belief that work
will gradually drop off in the
next 10 days till not more than
200 men are employed on the ca
nal. This force will be maintain
ed all through the high waters,
as it is thought the freshet will
reach the third level.
Government engineers are hop
ing that the freshet this year will
not be of long duration. Unless
of unlocked for length, however,
no delay in the completion of the
canal is expected, for work has
progressed to such an extent that
Major Morrow predicts January
/, 1915, as the date for its COM
pletiOn.

cash to spend.
5. The interests of country
people and home merchants are
identical and self-interest calls
for patronizing such stores.
Neither country or town can ex-
list without the other. The bet
ter the country the better the
town and vice versa. A thriving
town is of much material benefit
to adjacent farmers. From pure
selfishness farmers should give
home merchants the preference
when other conditions are equal.
Thorough investigation will show
the home dealer can meet mail
order competition on the same
level and beat it.
In conclusion it might be well
tn state that the arguments that
nave been presented In this SER
les of articles have not been ut
tered in the least spirit of bitter
ness toward either the mail-order
houses or any one who chooses to
patronize them. The sole aim
has not been simply to call your
attention to many phases of the
question that, for obvious rea-
sons, are not dwelt on by them
in soliciting your patronage. If
your interest has been gained
sufficiently to cause you to in
vestigate the subject along these
lines suggested, the object sought
will have been attained.

WORK CEASES TO
AWAIT Low WATER
Steamer Umatilla Goes to Lewiston
for Spring Tie-up--Resume
Operations in July

When Capt. S. v. Winslow took
charge Of the U. S. Steamer
Umatilla several years ago he
looked upon the work ahead of
him as a matter of digging rocks
out of the river channel. He is
still digging rocks out Of the river
but his vision Of the work has
materially broadened and a better
informed or a more thorough
open river enthusiast cannot be
found. The work to him is no
longer a matter Of merely deep
2ning the channel, but a part of
the greatest plan of empire build
ing ever undertaken in the West.
As the work progresses he sees
new and greater possibilities
from a navigable river.
II expect to see the time when
boats propelled by electric power
will be operating along the Col
umbia past Kennewick." said
Captain Winslow. This is by
no means an idle dream. Auto
mobiles are now operated by
means Of storage batteries and
it is only a step to the storage
battery for the steamboat. Some
day there will be in operation
hydro electric plants at the differ
emit rapids along the Columbia
and Snake rivers. These rapids
are only a few hours run by boat
from one another, and frequent
changes of batteries will be pos
sible. OF course, electric steam
boats are not as close at hand as
the opening of the Cello canal,
and only mention them to en-
phasize the ever-increasing posi-
bilities Of waterway develop
The captain and his men spent
two days in Kennewick last week
enroute to Lewiston where
the Umatilla will be tied up until
after the season Of high water.
Capt. Winslow said that he thinks
work can be resumed early in
July and will start on Five-Mile
rapids.
Asked concerning the progress
Of the work at Cello, the captain
said, Unless unforeseen circum-
stances arise, the old Umatilla is
going to be the first steamer
through the locks and she is going
through next February and possi-

LITTLE CAREFUL THOUGHT NI[[
KEEP MANY DOLLARS At HOME
The Larger the Town The Richer Is and The More Desirable Place
to Live IN or Near-Build up Your Own Community
Not Other Fellows
(A.,iele No c..ti..es. cepyish.ed By David Pow.lD

Suppose that the catalogue
houses of the country should
eventually accomplish their de-
sired ends -the closing of all the
fine big stores in the country
towns, would you be proud when
your friends visited you to show
them a lot of little Junk shops"
with stocks that look like they
were placed on the shelves by a
cyclone? Keep the good stores
busy in your town and make them
better by boosting for them and
pushing for home trade all you
can and be proud of your town
instead of ashamed of it.
There are many ways that you
are indirectly benefited financial
ly by keeping your money at
home. There is no getting away
from the fact that the larger a
town is, the richer it is, the more
desirable place it becomes to live
in and near.
Quality of soil and improve
ments being equal, the value of
q farm is determined from its
distance from a good live town.
The larger and richer the town
the more it affects the value of
nearby farm land. Anything
whatsoever that adds to the
prosperity of the town inevitably
increases farm values.
If you consider yourself an up
to-date and progressive citizen
stop and think for a moment be-
fore sending your order away
that the one who spends his mon
ey at home contributes just so
much to the up-building of the
community in which he expects
to make his living and as much
more as possible. Every dollar
you send away is that much Ia
ken out Of circulation in your
section.
Anything you can possibly do
to increase the property value of
your locality is bound to react to
your own individual benefit. In
creased property values mean
larger tax returns, with conse-
quent benefits which follow in

every progressive community.
A Case IN Nutshell
In summing up the evidence
that has been gathered and which
has formed the base of the series
of articles of which this is the
last. it seems to the writer that
five concise and potent reasons
have been established why the
consumers of a district should
patronize their home merchants:-.
l. Considering quality, freight
and service, home prices are as
low or lower than mail order
prices. Statements by mail-order
house attracts business through
playing upon mans weakness to
look upon distant fields as green
er than those at home.
2. Home merchants are in posi-.
ton to render incomparably bet
ter service than distant houses
and they do give such service.
This is true because one who buys
of a home merchant may see the
goods in person. discuss merits
of articles and prices, may readi-
ly exchange articles and have
other privileges that are not pos
sible when one deals with a mail
order house.
8. BY the nature of things one
may rely upon home merchants
more than upon distant mail-or-
der houses. This because the
home merchant meets his patron
face to face and has to make
good. If a bad purchase is made
it will be brought back or q per-
sonal complaint m a d e. The
mail-order house is virtually free
from such troubles. You know
what that means.
4. The home merchant is in
position to extend credit accom-
modations and is generous and
courteous in doing so; not so the
mail-order house. In this coun-
try where men and money are
both busy, credit accommodations
mean much. The home mer-
chant is your friend when you
are in need; he is at least entitled
to fair treatment when you have

MILWAUKEE BUYS
LANDS UP VALLEY
1t is Thought Railroad Company is
Getting Ready To Construct
Priest Rapids Dam

Agents, supposedly of the Chr
cago, Milwaukee & st. Paul rail-
road are busily engaged in pur-
chasing lands on both sides OF
the Columbia river below Priest
Raids, having in view the con-
struction of a dam across the r.
yer about Is miles below Bever-
ley, says the Wenatchee World.
The agents have been in the field
about six weeks, according to re-
port, and already have taken OPP
tons on a number of ranches, in
some cases at prices very advant-
ageous to the owners.
Information is to the effect that
the railroad is promoting the dam
project principally for the pur-
pose Of securing power to cleo
trify its lines in that section, but
with the enormous amount OF
power that could be developed at
that point it is purposed to use it
for irrigation also.
It has been known for year
or more that the Milwaukee was
planning a dam somewhere below
Priest Rapids, but permission OF
the war department has been
withheld until the road could show
that the building of the structure
would not interfere with the
rights of land owners along the
river by flooding their property
with back water. According to
reports received from White
Bluffs and Hanford yesterday the
corporation has so far progressed
in its acquisition of land that
might be damaged that it is in a
position to apply with some de-
gree of assurance for permission
of the government to construct
the dam. The power plant will
be erected so soon as that per-
mission is granted according to
statements of persons Twin g
there.

Inspection of Meats

That part of tn Pure Fod and Drug Ad as passed by congress IN June I96 relating to
the inspection meats has proved most successful and the other sections had accomplished the work
which thew were framed to do with an equal degree of success the people oHe United States would
be able to buy pe and wholesome foods at any store in the land and know Just what they were
getting
The one thing that is needed to make the packing industry mode for all others is to require
inspection only when the products are intended for interstate DINNERS This allows thousands of
small slaughter houses to cuhueb place meat on the market with little or no inspection And where
there na local ordinance requiring inspection it's usually conducted by political appOntee with
not the slightest qualifications for the position
Some cities and states have made a conscientious effort to provide a thorough and effective IN

by the lack of funds The salaries that team b. offered are not sufficiently large to attract highly
trained mel and those that are employed are in most cases sadly ovewOhed that is if they feel the
responsibilities of their poihon and make an effort to do their duty to the best of their ability.
