One of the ranchers from the hills
started for Prosser last week, and
when half way to Kennewick, he dis
covered that his dog had followed him,
so he took the liberty Of locking him
in N. C. Bowles' barn. Now it hap
pens that Cam had just been reading
about tie hyGrophobia scare and had
been dreaming that mad coyote had
him freed on top Of the milk house
when the alarm went off. He crawled
into his clothes and staggered out to
the barn more asleep than awake.
Just as he opened the door the dog
made jump from the top Of the feed
box, struck Cam amidships and they
both rolled in the sand mixed with
milk cans, pals and strainers. Cam
thot he was bitten in dozen places
by the mad coyote and rushed to the
house to phone to DR.. Crosby to come
right out, but once in the hotse, Mrs
Bowles discovered that he hadn't been
bitten at all.
"Back in Iowa" they have had To-
cal option for years and when resi-
dent of dry county returned from 9
wet county with a barrel of "cheer-
'em-up" word was swiftly passed
around that the returned traveller had
a sick horse, and everyone would come
around to help. Well, it happened that
A. S. Goss really had sick horse last
week so he called up Joe Gerards al
noon and told him about it, and asked
him if he could come down. Now, Jot
is from Iowa, tho he never says any
thing about it, and altho he is not
noted for his speed, he arrived Al
Goss' house almost before Goss hae
hung up the receiver. "Where's YOU
sick horse? 2" he asked. "Down at thu
barn." replied Goss, "But you'd bet

replied Joe, "I'l wander down to the

Well, to make long story short prac-
tically every man on lines 40 and AZ

help. Maybe you think it wasn't a
sore bunch when they found out that
it was really sick horse that needed

The daily papers are full of reports
on DR.. John Dill Robertson's diet
squad. The doctor, who is health Of
ficer of Chicago, is making an effort
to demonstrate that the high cost of
living is largely the cost of high iv-
ing and to accomplish his end he has
selected six men and six women whom
he is feeding at an expense Of not to
exceed 40 cents per day for each.
The dieting dozen are weighed daily
and record of the gain or loss is
kept. The doctors aim is praise
worthy and doubtless few may pro-
fit by studying his menus, but 40 cents
per day is $1,000 per month, and for
the average family 1--WE believe the
average is around five) this means $50
per month for food. This is more than
the total earnings Of over 1870 of the
people of Chicago where the test is
being made, yet the rent must be met,
shoes and clothing bought, doctors
and insurance paid before any of the
$4,000 can be used for food, and there
are thousands upon thousands Of
housewives in Chicago who are feed

tective, and what is he doing? Where
is the Finley poet? What became of
Dame Rumor? What has happened
to G. Monroe Ford and his II M T?
How did the Finley Race come out
with Nip or Tuck in the lead? Where
is Bob Perkins, Hair-Raising Harry,
and what have you done to the Coun-
ty Engineer? Let us hear from
some of our old friends once in
while. Anxiously-A Reader"
The t. c. d. is so engrossed trying
to locate the Kennewick Stock Yards
that he has neglected the last two
jobs we gave him so we have not
sought his services for several weeks.
We hope the old sleuth will soon find
what he is looking for because we
have half dozen cases waiting for
him here.
The Finley Poet has started to
charge us for his illusions and since
we think we ought to be paid for
printing them, we are not likely to
have any more of his works unless we
are up against it hard to fill the col.
Dame Rumor jumped the job. We
are rather glad for she came pretty
near getting US into trouble on sew
eral occasions. G. Monroe Ford is
here, but isn't gadding around as
much as he used to. Maybe it is be-
cause he can not find companions as
congenial as he had year or so ago,
or maybe it is because his brother Yer
non has come to live with him and
monopolizes the H. M. T. himself.
The race between Nip and Tuck just
sort of petered out for one of the con-
testants moved away, leaving the con-
test too one sided to be interesting.
Bob Perkins has gone back east to
| visit. Dame Rumor sent us in an
item on it, but as we said, we've dis
continued her services. Hairbreadth
Harry is still in the hair-raising bus
mess but the Oiled Road is getting SO
rough that he can't do as good job
as he used without danger Of wreck
ing his Chevrolet. We finally gave UP
trying to move the County Engineer
for the repairs made to the road were
largely worn out and the season got
too far advanced to apply oil. Anyway
we have a new county engineer to
take Office January first.
