NEW SIREN FIRE WHISTLE
INSTALLED ON BANK BLDG.
Was Purchased for Purpose Of WAX
ing People Up in Case of
Fire

If the Siren Of mythology was any
relation to the one on top Of the First
National Bank building, Odyssus took
an unnecessary precaution in stufiing
his sailors ears with wax. Had he
put soft lullaby on the Victrola he
would have had the lady cheated a
mile.
The siren on the top Of the bank
building is the new fire alarm whistle
installed for the purpose Of waking
up the town when there is a blaze.
It was put in place Tuesday and given
an official tryout Tuesday night. Mem
bers of the city council heard it when
they were in session in the adjoining
building and Doc. Crosby could hear
it distinctly in his Offices on the Sec
ond floor Of the bank building, pro-
viding Doc. Brogunier silenced his
purring dental motor.
The whistle was purchased by the
fire committee on thirty days free
trial. The council may decide to re-
turn it.

PEACHES ESCAPE
IN A FEW SPOTS
Inspector Finds Occasional Nook
Where Trees were not In
jured by the Cold

When it comes to leaving freakish
trail behind it, state legislature has
nothing on the zero weather which
visited this valley last winter. Ac-
cording to Chas. Hagler, assistant to
Horticultural Inspector Luke Powell
there are spots here and there where
orchards weathered the cold snap
without much damage. Altho the FL
berta peach crop will be almost q
total loss there is an occasional nook
around Richland and on the Kenne-
wick Highlands where the peach trees
will bear almost full crop. This is
true of the section on the Highlands
near the cemetery.
Among the different varieties OF
peaches the Elbertas were the hardest
hit. There will be fair crop Of De.
weys, Carmens, Slappys and other
early varieties.
Since being put on the job a month
ago Mr.. Hagler has been devotine
most of his time to the blight situa.
tion. He reports that with few ex
ceptions orchards in this end of ths
county are in good condition. There
was considerable hold-over blight bu'
orchardists have been continuously OF
the job and have it we'll under control
The only exceptions have been in or
chards of nonresident owners.

AUTO RIDE ACROSS STREET
COSTS THREE AND A HALF
Manager of Auto Company Fined for
Driving from the Garage
to the Bank

A ride in a new Chevrolet from the
Kennewick Auto company's garage to
the First National Bank cost Manager
B. E. Reser $3.50 this forenoon. Mr..
Reser had sold the Chevrolet to Frank
Harrie and drove across the street
with Mr.. Harrie to put the finishing
touches to the deal. When he came
from the bank R. j. Catlow, deputy
sealer of weights and measures, STEP
ped on the running board of the car
and placed him under arrest for run
ming the car without license and re-
quested that the auto man accompany
him to Justice Staser's court.
Mr.. Reser explained that because
he was going only as far as the bank
where he was to deliver the car to the
new owner, he had thought it unnec-
essary to take the dealers license
plate from another car and put it on
the Chevrolet. He plead guilty to the
formal charge brought by Catlow and
was fined one dollar and costs.
Mr.. Harrie had intended to drive
his new car home but with the deputy
still on the job he was afraid to take
any chances, so he stalled his car in
the garage to await a permit from the
county auditor.

TUM-A-LUM BUYS
SUPERIOR YARDS
Walla Walla Lumber Firm Adds
Five More Branches to its
Retail Business

The Tum-A-Lum Lumber company
has purchased all the Superior Lum-
Der company's retail yards in the low
er Yakima Valley and the two Kenne-
wick yards are to be- consolidated un-
der one management. Other yards in
cluded in the deal are at Benton City,
Buena, Byron and Donald.
The local Offices of the purchasing
company will be moved from the pres
ent location to the Superior offices
and M. N. Hudnall will be retained as
local manager. In fact, Mr.. Hudnall
seems to have become q permanent
part of the local business as he has
weathered several changes Of owner
ship having been local manager for
the Crab Creek, the Hudnall, the Su-
perior and now for the Tum-A-Lum
company. r. C. Mounsey leaves the
employ of the company but has not
vet decided whether he will remain in
Kennewick or not.
At the time the Tum-A-Lum COM
pany purchased the retail business OF
the Cascade Lumber company, Presi-
dent J. N. Crawford, Of Walla Walla.
announced that the deal was made
because of the company's great faith
in the future of the Yakima Valley
The present deal he says is evidence
of still greater faith in the future OF
the lower end of the valley.

COURIER REPORTER READERS
GET FIFTY-THREE ISSUES
But Because We Did II Once Don't
Expect Us to Repeat the
Performance

~ see you fellows have revised the
calendar and stuck So weeks into one
year instead of 81" said an observing
subscriber who likes to make us feel
badly whenever opportunity offers.
When asked what he was driving at
the subscriber explained that last
weeks issue of the Courier Reporter
was sent out as Volume 2, Number So
and guessed we must have our wires
twisted as there couldn't be So weeks
in year.
After we led the subscriber up to a
calendar and talked to him a half hour
he bought the smokes. We didn't
convince him there are So weeks in a
year but we did show him there were
So issues of the Courier-Reporter in
the fiscal year from April /, 1915 to
April 1, 1916
Now we claim to put out So issues
of a weekly paper in one year is some
stunt, and because we did it last year
don't expect us to repeat the per-
formance. In fact, it wasn't our do
ings at all. The calendar read that
way and we simply couldn't help it.
We are not going to charge our GUS
toners anything for that extra issue
but we may decide to lay off one week
this year to even things up.

HAMILTON BUYS ANOTHER
FINE PERCHERON STALLION
Purchases Sultan from Farms Of One
Of Country's Foremost
Breeders

Gavin Hamilton, of the Hamilton
Supply company, believes he now has
the finest Percheron stallion that was
ever brought into the country. The
new horse, which Mr.. Hamilton pur-
chased in Pendleton last week, is q
big black fellow weighing about q
ton. He is known in the official re-
cord of the Percheron family as "Sul-
tan" and was bred in Wisconsin by one
Of the country's foremost breeders OF
thorobred Percherons. He was only
recently brought into Oregon from his
native state.
Mr.. Hamilton is a consistent horse
booster and as a result of his efforts
in bringing high bred stations into
the valley the quality of horseflesh
on the farms around Nennewick has
materially improved within the last
few years.
