Seattle will not have any Pot
latch this year, but an event of
equal Importance will be the Seat
tie Music Festival, to be held July
1916, with musical events in the
larger parks, and in the big Arena,
where Handel's Messiah" rem
dered by chorus of 1000 voices
will be one of the striking fea-
lures. The leading bands, the
Philharmonic Orchestra, choruses
and sololsts of note will participate
in the greatest musical celebration
ever held in the Northwest. The
railroads will grant special rates
from all parts of the Northwest,
and in every sense the Music Festi-
val will be the big midsummer
event Of the year.

on Rampage

The old Columbia is on her an
nual rampage. On Wednesday the
high water mark of 1913 had been
reached and the river was still
raising. Ordinarily, the high wa
ter mark is reached before the 10th
of June, but the exceptionally
backward spring combined with
the excessive amount of snow last
winter to postpone the date this
spring. On Thursday, water was
running into the street in front of
the Boag livery barn and had filled
the slough back Of the old Spokes-
man location, nearly full. A great
quantity of driftwood has been
running and everyone who has the
time to spare has been laying in a
supply. Some have caught enough
to last two or three years.

First Peaches

He shipped 80 boxes this morning.
Other peach shippers this morning
were Geo. w. Shaw, C. o. Wom-
mack, C. A. Whitney and Clarence
Hanford.
There are not a great many of
the early varieties of peaches set
out here, but, like all other early
fruit, they always bring the grow
er big money. Mr.. McFee says he
intends to graft all the late fruit
on his ranch to early stuff
Shipments of early apples will
begin next week.

T ind Body
i'm Columbia

The remains of a man were
found floating in the Columbia by
Roderick Sprague while catching
wood Tuesday this side of the Coy
ote rapids. The body was so badly
decomposed that it was beyond rec
ognition except for gold bridges in
the upper set of teeth that may
serve as a means of identification
Sheriff Duffy and Coroner Green,
accompanied by VIM. Guernsey, ar
rived Wednesday, removed the
bridge work in the hope that the
mans name and the facts of his
death may be determined therefrom
and buried the corpse near the bank.
1t was the opinion Of the coroner
that the man must have been in
the water at least year, and as he
was without any signs Of clothing
was probably drowned while bath
ing.

Agricultural
Conference

During the past fall and winter,
each farmers organization in Ben
ton county selected an agricultural
committee to work with the county
agriculturist for the Improvement
of conditions in that locality.
A conference was held in Kenpe-
wick on Monday, June II, of these
various committees. The different
lines of work of the agricultural
office were taken up and discussed.
Recommendations were made rela-
tive to the lines along which the
work should continue. The policy
of the office working on marketing
problems was strongly favored.
A motion recommending the con-
tinuation of the work of putting on
county exhibit at the state fair
was passed unanimously.
A motion was passed providing
for the appointment of state fair
committee.
Suggestions were made relative
to the organization of county
farm council, composed of the rep
resentatives of the different local
farmers organizations. A COM
mittee was appointed to draw up
plans for the organization of such
council. This committee is to
call the next meeting Of the repre-
sentatives of the several local or
ganizations.
R. B. Coglon, state leader of
county agriculturists, among others,
was present at the conference.

tion who are growing corn this

The past week has been one of
great benefit to our wheat raising
neighbors. The rains that have
only threatened here have fallen in
great abundance in the wheat dis
trict, just in good time, according
to all reports, to insure the har-
vesting Of another bumper crop.
While there has not been such a
heavy rainfall in and near White
Bluffs, there has been enough to
help along the irrigating consider
ably.

New Milknaid
at Bonny Bra e

S. V. Tanning has purchased the
milking machine formerly owned
by Geo. Arrowsmith and has added
it to his dairy. He has had it in
operation now about two weeks and
feels very much pleased with the
results. The machine is operated
by a gasoline engine, and Mr.. Fan
ming says that while it required
two men stationed at the doors in
each end of the stable to pass the
pals back when the smachine was
first attached to the cows, that the
'bossies" have grown accustomed
to it now and give him no trouble
at all. He says he figured the ma
chine saves him the hire of one
man, and that the work is done in
a more sanitary and satisfactory
manner
