.SAUk COUNTY
ORDER HOLDS ITS
ANNUAL MEET

The attendance in the court room on
Tuesday afternoon was not so large as
desirable but there were enough pre-
sent to make the proceeding interesting
President Martiny opened the meeting
with Ga spractical talk on seed corn.
He advocates raising.but few varieties
to promote cooperation in selling. Sec
Rotary Davies has sent out many inquiry
cards, andshopes soon to tahulate the
answerssand will he able to answer GUS
toners who may wish to buy Sank coun-
ty grown seed grains.
Mr.. Wright of the college of agricul-
ture talked along these lines, and after
full discussion of various seed corn pro-
blems by those present he gave demon
stration of treating seed oats, with
formalin to prevent smut, by the dip
ping process. Some Of those present
prefer the sprinkling plan'and if care
fully done is equally effective and more
convenient. Those who have treated
their seed oats to prevent smut all agree
that it pays and should be done at least
as often as every three years. One
pint of formalin solution to 30 gallons
of water is the rigat strength. The
same strength is used to prevent pota-
to scab.
Next followed a discussion on the

EO-LICtN TALK
At GEM THEATRE

Hon. D. G. James, of Richland Cen-
ter gave an interesting lecture against
the liquor traffic at the Gem theatre on
Thursday evening. Mr.. James is one
of the leading business men of Rich
LAID Center and the greatest portion OF
his ADDRESS was in relation to the great
progress which has been made by that
city since it voted out liquor eight years
age. The city went dry by l6 votes, the
frat time. Three years later the ma
jority against license had increased to
298, since which the question has never
come up.
Mr.. James gave very practical ar
gument for dry town, quoting both
from his own experience as business
man and from that of others. He not
only proved thai no license lowers the
taxes, but that it also increases bust
ness.
Mr.. James has long been promin ent
in Wisconsin affairs in addition to being
a very prosperous business man. He
has pleasing personality and his ad-
dress was very favorably received.
The following is summary of his ad-
dress
Xxx
Richland Center, ten years ago, had
the notoriety of being the worst city in
a moral, sanitary and physical sense in
thd state. The farmers coming to trade
encountered the worst roads after
reaching the city limits. The street,,

and breeder of disease.
There were eight saloons bringing in
revenue of four thousand dollars year
which was considered essential to run
the town. Our courts were crowded
with criminal and damage suits caused
by defective streets and walks. Muc-
ders, boldups, burg!aries, rObberies, riot
and incendiarism were common. And 10
cap the climax the Methodist church
was dynamited because the pastor de-
nounced the condition of affairs. The
good people from the country were

ulation was at standsti l. One store

Right Time
to Cut Hay

"Make hay while the sun
Shines" is the old rule and is al
ways a good one to follow. Anoth-
er rule which should receive con-
sideration, according to Professor
E. G. Schafer of the State Agricul-
tural Experiment station at Pull
man, is that the hay crop be cut
when the greatest total amount of
digest,ble nutrients can be OBJ
tanned. This condition will be at
tanned somewhat earlier in the BIZ
ennial and perennial legumes than
in the grasses.
Alfalfa makes the best quality
of hay if it is cut Just as it is COM
ing into bloom, say when it is one
fourth in blossom. 1t will be more
digestible if cut at this period and
there will be less loss in leaves
than if cut later. If cut earlier
there will be reduction in yield.
Red clover should be cut at little
later stage of maturity, or just
when the first heads are turning
brown.
Hay should not he cured so rap
idly that the leaves will berome
dry and shatter while the stems
still contain great deal of mois-
ture, but the moisture from both
the leaves and stems should be
evaporated largely through the
leaves. When hay becomes partly
cured in the swath and windrow, it
should be placed in cocks. When
cured in this manner more leaves
will be retained and a better color
will result. Hay should be cured
rapidly enough TO prevent molding.

New Gas Well
Will Soon
Spout

Visitors at the we'll being sunk
by the Yakima Gas & Oil company
out on the Rattlesnake hills last
Sunday report the we'll at that
time as being down 692 feet.
The company shut down several
weeks ago to case off the water
of which at that time they had
400 feetss the we'll being down ap-
proximately. $40 feet. The casing
was done by filling the hole with
concrete, old sacks, etc., which
were tamped in thoroughly, the
theory being that the crevices
through which the water was COM
ing into the we'll would be tamped
full of this mixture, 1t is said
that the company's' first attempt
along this line was unsuccessful
and it was necessary for them to
do the work. all over again.
The we'll being sunk is about
five miles from the one now flow
ing and the altitude about rs feet
higher. Gas in the present we'll
was struck at 710 feet, so. if the
strata underneath run even with
the top Of the ground, the com
pany will have to go from 25 to
100 feet more. Logs, though, kept
on both wells lead to the belief in
many quarters that they may
break through to the gas any time
now.
There was a rumor couple of
weeks ago that the company had
struck gas, but this, when run
down, proved untrue.
1T is said that small flow of
gas was struck IN the we'll LnaC IS
being sunk for artesian in the
same range of hills in the Cold
Creek country. So strong did the
pressure from below get that the
dynamite used for blasting had to
be weighted down with iron to
carry it to the bottom.
| The Walla .Walla Oil, Gas &
Pipe Line company has notified
The Spokesman that they are about
ready to put their big outfit in
the field, and officers say are ready
to go $500 or 5000 feet if nec-
essary.

Have you noticed the well-fed,
satisfied appearance of the editors
family lately? 1t is due in no
small part to the luscious fruit of
which they have been partaking,
the last contribution being a most
delicious and palate-pleasing box
of red raspberries from the Blair
ranch. Mr.. Blair informs us that
the plants which produced this ex-
ceptional fruit were obtained
IN Portland and set out just
a year ago. And just now Rod
Sprague fetched in a great big
bucketful of Mayfower peaches
the finest we have seen this year.
Say! This is a great country and
we like it!

Fourth 8 July

IL Is SeluOn luueGu LIldL Lle
weather man passes us out such an
ideal day for the Fourth as he did
this year. 1t was neither too
warm nor too cool but as near per-
feet for picnicking as one ever
sees.
! Neighbors gathered together in
some shady nook in a great many
places in the valley with full
lunch baskets, many a bright and
promising young rooster having
been butchered to make a White
Bluffs holiday.
The picnic parties coming to
the notice of the Spokesman were
the one at the Malone ranch; the
one at the school house; the one
under the trees in the old town
site; the one at the D. j. Boag
home and the one on the Kincaid
lawn.
In the evening. everybody-not
only from White Bluffs, but from
Hanford, Priest Rapids, Allard,
Arrowsrnith- gathered to dedi-
cate the handsome new Andrew
Codding hall. the first really mod
ern amusement place in the valley.
The town was brilliantly lighted
for the occasion and the hall it.
self was bower of beauty. The
crowd gathered early and for
three hours there was a constant
stream of automobiles, carriages
and wagons the railroad
speeder being requisitioned by part
of the Priest Rapids crowd-and
by 10 O'Clock the big hall was full
of orchestra music and happy
dancers.
The pretty and patriotic stunt
that had been planned was spoiled
when a rifle hidden in drapery at
the top of the hall. failed, when
discharged by means Of concealed
string attached to the trigger, to
unfurl the American flag over the
heads of the dancers, as per sched-
ule. Everybody looked up to see
where the noise came from, and
the orchestra played 'The Star
Spangled Banner" but the flag
unfurled only when assisted by a
long pole in the hands of Lou
Helpenstell.
At midnight the crowd focked
to the Boag hotel. where a light
lunch was served. The ladies ha,
ing the lunch in charge, Mrs.
Maltbie and Mrs. Woods, expect
ed only an ordinary crowd of rs
or 100 people and were hardly
prepared for the throng.
Day was breaking in the east
when the crowd finally dispersed,
all of the same mind-that it was
the best dance they had ever at.
tended in the valley.
The orchestra from Pasco, under
the direction of A. Reider, cap
tured the hearts as well as the feet
of the dancers, and furnished the
finest music ever heard at a dance
in White Bluffs.
Much of the credit for the hall
decorations and street lights is due
Lou helpenstell, local representa-
tive of the z. P. & L., and Fred
Gilhuly, who both worked night
and day to bring out the big idea.
The ladies who assisted in draping
the bunting and flags and the 9TH
ers who helped in different ways,
also deserve praise.
1t was great night, long to be
remembered.

Unless the warm weather of the
last couple of days continues and
causes her to change her mind, it
is probable that the old Columbia
has hit the peak load Of high wat
err for this season. 1t began drop
ping the first of the week and is
now several inches below the high
mark. Whether or not it was high
er than in 1913 seems debatable
question. Some contend that it
was just as high, if not higher,
while others are just as positive
that it lacked several inches. At
any rate, it was high enough and
everybody is glad it is recedlng.

Pumping PLANT
Giving Trouble


When Watermaster Barge shut
the Write Bluffs Water company's
plant down Thursday noon to clear
the pump of drift wood, he was
unable to get the salve in the in
take closed tight enough and the
water rushed in, flooding the pit
where the motor and pump are
located before he could get the
top of the pump replaced, and put
the pump out of commission. A
pump was secured this morning to
pump out the pit and it was be-
lieved that by noon the plant
would be running again.

According to advices received by
the secretary of state, Initiative
No. "a has received enough sigma
lures on petitions in Seattle alone
to place it on the ballot this fall.
No. "a is the brewers amendment
to the present prohibition law.
which will, if adopted, make it
lawful to manufacture and sell
beer in this state. No. 25, a bill
proposing to repeat the prohibition
law entirely, has been abandoned
apparently, and it is evident that
the brewing interests will combine
in an attempt to carry No. "a at
the fall election.

was the horizon, and he was try

mare, who had become peeved at

wandered off. He finally caught

one. With few weeks more training
the teams should be in even better trim.
The game on August l9 will be played
in American League Park and all tickets
out will be considered as rain checks.
The proceeds will go TO the Guard relief
fund.
