CARE OF THE REEL.
A Few Words Of Expert Advice For the
Man Behind the Rod.

A Few Words Of Expert Advice For the
Man Behind the Rod.
The life Of any reel will be mighty
short II 1t Is not given care and atten-
ton. The finest machine In the world
Will not run without oil, vet many fel-
lows will use reel week after week
and not think Of feeding It little
soothing strip until 1t begins to scrape
and rattle like the 5 :15. When this
stage is reached they will drop a little
oil In the cups, but the damage is done
through overheated bearings and pin
ions, and the reel will never again run
with freedom from friction and as
smoothly as before the rough grind was
handed it.
A reel should be cleaned and oiled
after each days fishing. The ordinary
thin oil Is not sufficient, as no thin oil
will last through the different temporal
lures to which reel is subjected dur
ing days casting. Heated by the hot
sun and chilled by the night air, as well
as drenched with water during the day,
make q combination that would elimi-
nate any thin oil. On the other hand,
the thick oils soon churn into q creamy
paste and hamper and clog the reel so
that you think you are losing your speed
at the game when your casts slow up
You make no mistake when you invest
In bottle Of "reaI' reel oil, and the
best comes from the jawbones and blub.
Der OF the porpoise This Oil is refined
up In the arctic circle, and will stand
the gaff Of any temperature. After you
buy the oil, use it. Don't stand It away
in the tackle cabinet and forget it.
Oiling the reel is not all that is neces-
sary to keep the little old pleasure pro.
Queer in good shape. Like the line, the
reel should be entirely dried after each
days fishing. Although German silver
does not rust, It will corrode, and the
main cause for corroding is dampness.
Be fair to the reel and dry 1t thorough
" In the open air or sunlight and drop
q little oil In each cup before you tuck
it away for the night.
As final tip on the reel, old man,
here's hoping you won't take 1t apart
every once In awhile to see what makes
1t go. The smooth running qualities of
many fine reel have been ruined by
the inquisitive cuss with the itching
palm and screwdriver. OF course you
would never think Of taking your watch
apart and assembling 1t again. If any
thing goes bad with the reel, take 1t
down to reel doctor and let him feel
its pulse. This will save you time and
money, and for practice at mechanics
you can have as much fun tinkering
with an old alarm clock as a victim

RUssIA's ICY MARSHES.
The Vast Frozen Desert Of the Region
Of the Tundras.

The Vast Frozen Desert Of the Region
Of the Tundras.
In the extreme north of Russia, from
the White sea to Boring strait, there
lies the region Of the tundras-waste
frozen marshes stretching inland from
the sea for from 800 to 1000 miles. It
is often difficult to determine the point
separating the land from the sea, for
the surface Of the ground is frozen
some forty feet deep. Even the heat
Of summer can thaw only about two
feet Of top soil.
The only possible vegetation consists
Of moss and few berry bushes-scant
food for the millions of birds and
beasts of all kinds that flock northward
in July and August to escape their en-
envy, the hunter. By the end of Au-
gust, however, the heavy frosts set In,
and the tundras become barren, life
less desert, covered with snow for hun
dreds of miles, with never living
speck of any kind on which to rest
ones eyes.
To the south Of the tundras is the
great coniferOus forest belt, which
stretches from Finland to the Sea Of
Okhotsk. At its western end, where
it is more settled, this is perhaps the
most beautiful part Of the great Rus
sian plain.
The countryside is dark with the
shadows Of the fir trees, but, frequent
~ shot with the light, 1.-THE trunks Of
silver birches. says the Geographical
Review. The aspect Of the land, too,
Is slightly rolling in parts. and Graded
between these slight elevations there
are thousands Of charming little lakes
fringed around with reeds.

Letters from the People
To the Editor:

The front door of the Commercial
club is always open. It invites you to
come right in, tell those that are al
ready on the job how they can do
their work better and then take off
your coat and do your part towards
seeing that the work is done the way
you want it done.
The Commercial club is an assoc
citation where the bank president has
a vote of exactly the same size and de
mension as that of the equally good
citizen who runs the corner store. It
is also an organization where each of
these men, and any other man whose
future depends on Kennewick, has an
opportunity to do any work that he
believes is for the benefit of Kenne-
wick. The only requirement is that
he must be working in an organiza-
ton way, and that he must find enough
men who thinks as he does in order
to create sufficient sentiment really
to do something.
The Kennewick Commercial club is
not an organization-iti is an institu-
ton that exists for the sake Of being
an organization. It is an earnest at
tempt to centralize the ideas of the
city on the doing Of specific lines Of
work that will make this a better city
in which to live, and a more prosper
Gus city for the benefit of all Of US.
| call attention to the above facts
because every once in while some
one speaks of the Commercial club as
"your organization" In the very ma
ture of things it cannot be anybody's
organization. It's work must be the
embodiment of the good of the city
or it is not serving it's proper function
in the city.
/ The officers of the Commercial club
realize that it is not doing anything
like what it ought to be able to do.
No voluntary democratic organization
can ever be fully efficient. If you or
I were given unlimited power we
might go out and do lot of things
that we cannot do when we must oper-
ate thru slow moving channels of unit
ed public effort.
But in spite of this handicap the
Commercial club is doing great
many things that are producing re-
suits for the present and future Of
Kennewick. 1t can do more if you
will help it little.
| I know it is difficult to ask the busy
man or woman to put unselffshly aside
his personal affairs and give real
thought to public problems, but please
bear in mind that you are not unself-
ish when you do this. A very great
part of your future depends upon the
future of Kennewick.
I, You can very directly help make
that part of this future by giving real
thought and real effort towards help
ing to do those things that will con-
s,ructively build Kennewick.
Now, above all times, is when unit
ed public effort is essential, and any
step along this line means that the war
will be over that much sooner.
Think It over, fellow citizens, and
after due elaboration, kind of ask
yourself "Do owe anything to Ken
rewick?" and when you have ans
wered in the affirmative get in touch
with me for membership blank.

Secretary.
