HOLLAND WILL BOOST
FOR PROSSER STATION
President of Washington State College
Says Its Development is of
Great Importance

President E. o. Holland of the
Washington State College, who spent
some time in the city yesterday, will
boost for the development of the ir-
rigation experiment station at Pros
ser during the coming biennium and
will ask the 1919 legislature for sub
stantial appropriation to be devoted
to its development.
"The Prosser experiment station
site is now in shape so that the build
ings needed should go up" says DR.. .Hol-
land. 81 regard the development of
the station as one of the most import
ant pieces of work to be done by the
college. The state legislature will be
asked to appropriate enough money
SO we can buy 16O acres of land in
addition to the site already purchased
and the so acres given by the North
ern Pacific. An experiment station
is greatly needed for the devopment
of the irrigated lands Of the state and
/ have no doubt but what the station
will come to be regarded as one of
the most valuable development fac
tors in the valley."-Y Yakima Republic

TULLAR SAYS FLU
SITUATION DESPERATE
Declares that Unless Spread of
Epidemic is Checked it will
Get Beyond Control

Simply desperate" said DR.. A. G.
Tullar this evening when asked con-
corning the influenza epidemic in the
community. "The situation is acute
and | know of no better way to des-
cribe it than to say that it is getting
desperate. / have been going contin-
uously since $3.50 this morning and
| have yet "a calls to make and am
calling only on such as consider Sc
rious. Unless something is done
within the next few days to check it's
spread the epidemic is going to get
clear beyond our control"
In the earlier stages the epidemic
seemed to be confined largely to adults
but now it has spread to the children
and as result school attendance has
dropped off repidly. Supt. H. Fl. Hoff-
man said this evening that there was
about 35 per cent attendance at the
Washington building and 60 per cent
at the high school building.
For the purpose of deciding whether
or not the town is to be closed up
again and to provide for additional
hospital facilities a meeting will be
Leld this evening by Mayor Sherk,
Supt. Hoffman, the city board of
health, the school board and others.

IRRIGATION
BONDS ARE
... SOLD AT 90
Lumberman's Trust Company
Contracts for Entire Issue
of $44O,OO0.O0
DRAW 6'PER CENT INTEREST
Deal is Closed Subject to Approval Of
Company's Board of Trustees
who are Coming Here

The board Of directors Of the Colum-
bia Irrigation district yesterday en-
tered into . contract with the Lum-
berman's Trust company, of Portland,
for the sale of the districts entire
first bond issue of $4,000. The
bonds are to draw 6 per cent inter-
est and the purchasers are to take
them at SO, which is equal to 6sz per
cent at par.
The contract for sale is made sub
ject to the approval Of the Trust COM
pany's board Of trustees, who are Civ
en- seven days to look over the dis
trict. While there is bare possibil-
ity that the board of trustees will not
give their approval, the directors of
the district and representatives of
the company are of the opinion that
the deal will go thru. In the event
the deal is approved it is thought the
bonds can be delivered and the money
for construction become available by
December 20.
While the contract is for the sale
of the entire issue Of $4,000, it is
estimated that not to exceed 100000
will be expended on the canal this year.
1t is understood that the company is to
furnish the district money in such
amounts and at such times as it may
need it up to October 1919. The COM
pany has the option, however, Of TAX
ing the entire issue at any time and
is to pay the district Az per cent on
such sum as the district has not used.
Yesterdays deal makes it practical
ly certain that there will be an abund-
ance of water to meet all irrigation
needs next year. Engineer C. H. Swi-
CART and his assistants have been busy
for weeks with specifications for the
proposed improvements and there
seems little doubt but that actual
construction can be started by the
first of the year. The directors for
some time have been figuring with diff
ferent contracting firms and believe
they will have no difficulty in letting
a satisfactory contract on cost-plus
basis.
This years improvement program
provides for the rebuilding or replac-
ing of all fumes or other structures
necessary so as to secure reliable de-
livery of water next year; lining GER
tain dangerous stretches of the canal
with concrete; enlarging and improv-
ing certain parts of the laterals and
building more complete distributing
system.

BOYS TO GIVE A
SMOKELESS SMOKER
High School Youths Plan ROus-
ing Entertainment to Usher
in Basketball Season

Student activities at the kenne-
wick high school, insofar as contests
with other schools is concerned, are
to be limited this year to basketball
and the boys are going to make a
strenuous effort to turn out a VIM
ming team.
Prospects for such team are truly
promising. The high school has lost
but one of last years players, Earl
Anderson, who has taken up the mucn
more exciting recreation OF lighting
the Boche. The boys have surmount-
ed the handicap of having no faculty
coach by getting George Tweedt 70
show them how it should be done. VI
last years team Warde Johnson, Ross
Willsey, Byrd, Joe Anderson and Al
len Paul are back and are playing In
good form. With Tweedt as coach
three teams have been turning out Tor
practice and a schedule of games is
being worked out.
Owing to the pooling of debate and
basketball finances last year the sea-
son closed with small deficit. 10
wipe out this deficit and to arouse
public interest in this years activities
the boys have planned a "smokeiess
smoker for the evening of December
20. A good program of boxing, wrest-
ling and singing is being lined up and
an evening of genuine entertainment
is promised. Further details VIII De
given later.

CAPTURED HUN
"MELTING POT"
Earl Anderson Writes that with
Souvenirs is Human Rem
dering Vat

Several weeks ago the Courier-Re-
porter published an interesting letter
from Earl Anderson telling Of his
experiences in one of the big drives
against the Hindenburg line. In a
recent letter to F. ]. Arnold he gives
some details of the scrap not contain
ed in his former letter. He writes:
October 20
Dear Mr.. Arnold:
| Well, business is a little slack at
present, so Pm going to answer your
letter which came to me the other day.
I was certainly glad to get, the letter.
The only civilians I've seen in the
last month were some that we recap
tured. They certainly were tired,
worn-out looking bunch of people.
They have been living behind the Ger
man lines for almost four years and,
judging from their looks don't think
they had much to eat and but very
little clothing.
Mr.. Arnold, / wish you could have
been with me September 20, and could
have come thru the whole thing as
lucky as I. We hoped over the top
and / must say that was the largest
and hardest battle / ever expect to
go thru. The barrage opened at $3.50
a. m. and it was one of the largest put
up since 1914. We started down the
white tape and were soon covered
from sight by smoke and fog. We
signal boys were following the major
until the smoke became so thick you
couldn't see two yards ahead of you.
About dozen of us got tangled UP
in Jerry's barbed wire and were lost
from the major. There was no chance
to find him because we couldn't see far
enough and the noise was so great he
couldn't hear us call. Well, the shells
soon began to burst real close at hand
and we decided there wasn't any room
for us. We started by ourselves and
soon came to a big trench which
proved to be the first of that noted
Hindcnburg line. We kept on going
and the shells were something ter
rible, bursting, it seemed, right on our
heads. We still went on and about
noon ran on to another regiment. The
reason we hadn't run across anyone
before was because we had gone so
fast we were in our own barrage ahead
of our tanks and machine guns.
don't see yet how we came thru
that but it seemed that someone was
looking after us besides the Hun. One
interesting feature of the whole thing
was that I gathered in some prisoners.
OF course the big thing was smash
ing of old Hindenburg's line and we
