TWO DEATHS IN SAME
FAMILY WITHIN AN HOUR
Father and BrOther-in-Law of Mrs. H.
A. Bier Pass Away Within Few
Minutes of Each Other

Ferdinand Ebener, father, and Ju-
Illus Nelson, brother-in-law, of Mrs.
H. A. Bier, of this city died almost at
the same hour Saturday evening.
kilograms announcing the deaths Of
the two relatives were received by Mr..
Bier within a few minutes of each
other.
Mr.. Ebener, age 70, died at the home
of his daughter near Cheney. He was
a pioneer resident of Washington,
coming to Ritzville 33 years ago from
Baden, Germany, where he was
born January IL, 1843. Three years
ago he gave up his trade of black
smith and went to make his home
with his daughter. He was veteran
of two wars, having fought in the
German army against Austria and Bo-
hemia in 1866-7O and during the
Franco-Prussion war in 1901, being
awarded several medals for valor.
Mr.. Nelson, who had been in poor
health for some time, died suddenly
at his home in Lead, South Dakota
Mrs. Nelson was formerly Miss Edith
Ebener, of this city. The two became
acquainted here when Mr.. Nelson was
employed by Edward Sheppard in the
Columbia Pharmacy nearly ten years
ago.
Mrs. Bier was at her sisters home
near Cheney at the time of her faith
er's death.

HARVESTING DRIFT WOOD
WITH ALFALFA DERRICK
Valley Farmers Operate Ingenious
Device for Laying in Their
Years Supply of Fuel

The annual wood harvest is in full
swing. All along the Columbia river
which threatens to refuse to stay put
within the confines Of it's banks, lit
tie parties of farmers are to be. seen
daily fishing out the drift wood which
is coming down in plentiful quantities.
Already many of the farmers who live
at the more advantageous points have
more than a years supply Of fuel
safe on the banks.
Of the many novel contraptions
employed by the farmers for harvest
ing the wood perhaps the most ingen-
ious is one that is in operation at the
boom of w. E. Campbell about two
miles down the river. The hay der
rick of E. F. Reese has been stationed
on the bank near the boom. An i'm
provised barge and men with pitch
forks complete the equipment. The
barge is floated out in the eddy and
after it has been piled high with small
drift it is hoisted by the derrick and
dumped into wagons.
In two days, Mr.. Campbell, assisted
by Mr.. Reese and A. E. Dague, has
harvested more than fifty wagon loads
of fuel. It is no difficult matter tt
losso a log and haul it out, but this
method lands the smaller stuff which
has the superior quality of being al
ready split.

THREE AWKWARD SQUADS
PUT THRU MILITARY PAGES
Thirty Men Turn Out for First Prac.
tice of Local Drill Corps
Everybody Eligible

About. thirty men, whose mammas
didn't raise them to be soldiers, but
who believe that every citizen should
be familiar with the rudiments. Of
military drill, reported for duty at
the Knights of Pythias hall last Mon
day evening and took their first les
son. The men were divided into three
squads and for three hours were put
thru marching maneuvers under the
direction Of, Drill Master F. R. JEFF
frey. 49,
In the bunch were several men who
have had military training either in
the national guard or in school and
thru their efforts all serious accidents
in the ranks of the raw recruits were
prevented.
The squads will drill regularly ev-
cry Monday night from z until o.
clock and the ranks are wide open to
every man in the community between
the ages of ..16 and SO. There is no
1
membership fee to pay and no obi
cation to take. All who wish to drill
may and all who don't want to, need
| not.
Present plans contemplate nothing
further than drilling just for exer-
else and amusement, but if the boys
show sufficient interest it is the inten-
ton of Mr.. Jeffrey to conduct school
for non-commissioned officers and to
later organize squad sufficiently of
ficered and disciplined to meet the re-
quirements of regular army service.
AS one of the teachings Of the
Knights of Pythias lodge is patriot
i ism, and believing that the drill corps
will tend to stimulate patriotism in
the community, the local Knights are
making no charge for the use of their
hall.

w. v. VanAlstyne, who is receiving

market outlook is excellent. Idaho
has closed its doors absolutely to po-
tatoes from California, Texas and
Florida because of tuber moth and this
state and Oregon are enforcing al

This has forced the three early po-
tato states out of the Northwest mar
ket and the Kennewick spud has al
most as clear field as does the Ken
newick strawberry.
"What is happening to the southern
potatoes should be striking object
