Another function Of the skin is to
regulate the heat Of the body When
the air is warm the skin relaNes, and
blood flowing freely into its minute
veins or capillaries becomes air-cool-
ed; when the air is cold the skin con
tracts, squeezes the blood away from
the surface, and in that way prevents
too great a radiation Of heat The
surface is also water cooled by the
perspration, which is secreted in
enormous quantity in hot weather
especially during exercise Perspir
ing goes on all the time, however, in
cold weather as well as hot, and its
evaporation keeps the body heat from
mounting to a dangerous height-as
it does sometimes during fever
when the secretion Of perspiration
virtually ceases.
The skin is also the scat Of scnsa-
tons by which II guards the body
against many injuries that might be
severe if they passed the skin and
touched some vital organ beneath.
Since this covering is such an impor-
tant part of the body we should care
for IL with the utmost attention.
Neglect of it is a fruitful cause Of
disease and distress.

SUMMERS GIVEN TWO
IMPORTANT COMMITTEES
Congressman from this District As
signed to Irrigation and Public
Lands Committees

Closely following the recent an
nouncement that he had been assigned
to the irrigation committee of the
House, Congressman John w. Sum
mers today received a telegram from
Congressman Albert johnson notify
ing him that he had also been placed
on the public lands committee, much
sought appointment, says the Walla
Walla Bulletin. Congressman John
son is from Hoquiam and is the Wash
ington member of the committee on
committees.
When seen recently Congressman
Summers stated that he was well
pleased with these two appointments,
as he thereby can work on reclama-
ton projects from two important an
giles. Congressman are usually placed
on one or two committees, so that DR..
Summers already has plenty of COM
mittee work ahead of him.
Congressman Summers has pledged
his support to all meritorious irriga-
tion projects and is taking a deep in
terest in this development work, which
promises to occupy prominent place
in the program of constructive legis-
lation by the sixty-sixth congress.

INVESTIGATION OF. FIVE
MILE DAM AUTHORIZED
State Legislature to Appropriate $10,.
600 to Survey the Snake
River Project

BY the passage last week of house
bill 1876 by Kirkman, of Walla Walla,
the state legislature authorized an
investigation of the feasibility of the
Five Mile power and irrigation pro-
ject on Snake river. The bill carries
an appropriation of $4,000 for the
The Five Mile project has long been
listed among the possible development
projects Of the Columbia valley and
there is apparently little doubt as to
its feasibility. The project will call
for the daming of Snake river at the
rapids, the installation of hydro
electric plant for power and the irri-
cation of large acreage of fertile
lands. The project will also prove a
great aid to- navigation as the rapids
will be eliminated and the first stage
of the canalization of the river begun.
The present action of the legisla-
ture will call to the minds of many
pioneers the efforts of H. S. Anon
to put the project thru during the first
administration of President Roosevelt.
Mr.. Anon succeeded in obtaining the
sanction of the federal congress but
all his plans were upset by the con-
servation policies of Col. Roosevelt.

TO WELCOME THE
RETURNED BOYS
Veterans of G. A.. r.. will Enter
tain Soldiers, Sailors and Ma
rines Saturday Evening

Kennewick's fast diminishing squad
Iof Civil War veterans will rally around
the Old Flag Saturday evening in the
Masonic hall, and as hosts of the eve
ming, will extend the hand of greeting
and welcome-home to the boys who
helped uphold the honor of the nation
which they fought to preserve.
Assisted by the ladies of the w. r.
c., the G. A. r. veterans will entertain
the returned soldiers; sailors and ma
rines at an informal reception to
which every boy who was with the
colors, either ct home or overseas, and
members of his family are cordially in
vited.
There will be short musical and
speaking program, followed by re-
freshments. Amy citizens who wish
to help the veterans provide the "eats"
either by small donations of either
cash or food may do so by communi-
eating with Commander S. M. Hem
derson of the local post
1t is thought that the invitation of
the old army men will be generally
accepted by the returned soldier boys
and that a little military color may be
added to the occasion, all soldiers,
sailors and marines are requested to
appear in uniform in front of the post
Office at 7:15. that formations may be
organized and the guests of the eve
ming march to the hall. The reception
will start promptly at 1850.
The old soldiers are leading the COM
munity in giving some form of form
al recognition of the services of the
young soldiers. The boys have drift
ed in one by one and the dates of their
arrivals have been unannounced so
that any welcome-home demonstra-
tions have been impracticable. 1t is cx-
pected that from now on welcoming
functions will be of frequent occurrence

fair when the boys of the 146th F. A. !
come home.

|BLACKLEG BREAKS OUT
AMONG RANGE CATTLE
St6ckmen in Southeastern Part Of the
County are Alarmed at
Its Spread

According to reports received here
this week blackleg has broken out
again in the southeastern part Of the
county on the range and pastures
along the Columbia river.
AS many as four head of cattle died
in one day from small herd near
the jacobson wells, while many others
are scattered over the range. There
was bad spell Of it last December
when eight head of G. H. Mottinger's
herd died in one week and as many
more belonging to other people died
in the same locality. As none had
died in January and February, stock
men felt relieved and thought the epi-
demic had passed, but the history of
the disease is that it is worst in the
spring months when the stock first
go on the new grass and begin to
thrive and it takes the younger and
stronger ones first. This has always
been considered a healthy range for
stock, as there are no poisonous weeds
on it.
Owing to- the shortness of feed and
the fear of losing them, Mr.. Mottin-
ger sold so head Of his best young
cattle. J. R. Howard sold ten; w. L.
Cochran 80 and Fred Cresswell sold
all of his he could find last week.
Measures are being taken to combat
the disease.
