WALKED in SLEEP
FALLS FROM WINDOW
RailrOader Only Slightly Bruised

Sidewalk

Railroaders must be tough birds. j.
A. Leach, an employee of the O-W. R.
& N, sleep walker, climbed thru a
second story window and fell to the
concrete sidewalk below, with no SER
ious injuries, last Sunday night.
Leach awoke to find himself in a
cold heap in his night clothes out on
the sidewalk directly under his bed
room window. How long he had been
there he had no means of knowing.
He was more or less bruised, but not
seriously injured, his fall having been
broken by hitting a sign hanging over
the walk, which came down with him.
He was able to walk to the station,
but decided he had better take a few
days off, resting up at the company's
hospital.

FINANCING FOR THE
CREAMERY SUCCESSFUL
Plant Will Not Close for Lack of
Funds-Ship in
Cows

Call the outstanding cream checks
have been paid, we've shipped in two
cars of good cows and the plant is now
self-supporting," stated Manager Dun
bar of the local creamery this after
noon. "And the way the farmers are
taking hold of our plan for financing
the purchase of cows, it looks as tho
we would have to rustic a couple more
ear loads of cows. That's pretty good
news, isn't it?"
And he went on to explain that
while the cream checks were all paid,
some of the open accounts around town
had not yet been paid, but that the
plant was beginning to make a little
money and with the gradual cashing
of the notes for stock those would
not much longer be outstanding.
He also wanted stated that they
were still able to secure good cows and
those wishing them should make appli-
cations before September 1.

TRENBATH SELLS
TO HAROLD FYFE
Insurance Man Now Hunting Job
-Fyfe Retains Interest in
Concrete Plant

The editor is on his way home, praise
be. He probably wouldn't have mis-
laid the only real, right hot news story
of the week. Wednesday night of last
week E. w. Trenbath, Of Trenbath &
Gascoigne, Inc, sold his interest in the
concern to Harold G. Fyfe, partner
in the firm of Edwards, Fyfa & Co.
This announcement was written in
time to have been printed I'M last
weeks issue issue, but as our linotype
operator was also off on vacation"
there was some rush around here in
gathering the "dope," writing it and
then getting it into type, and in the
hustle it was mislaid and failed to get
printed.
Mr.. Trenbath has turned over his
duties in the firm to Mr.. Fyfe and is
now scouting around to find him fat
pay check and enough leisure time to
enable him to keep up his work as
president of the Commercial club and
other civic duties. In the meantime
he will remain in Kennewick, as he has
had several offers and is yet undecided
as to what he will do.
Mr.. Fyfe still retains his interest in
the cement products factory, but his
former office duties will be assumed
by others and he will devote his en-
tire time and energy to the insurance
and real estate business.
For the present, at least, the firm
name will remain the same.

ford-P. p. & L. Employees
Issue Challenge

The Sims have a pretty good opin-
ion of their ball playing ability since
they took the second game from the
fats Monday evening. Their boasting
has pestered local Manager L. A.
Stafford of the p. p. e.. L., and he said
he could beat the Sims with a team
composed of employees of the local
office for money, marbles or chalk. A
game is on.
A challenge has been sent and ac-
cepted and the two teams will clash on
the local grounds at three o'clock next
Sunday afternoon, the proceeds to
be added to the park fund. Both team
managers are trying to get Roy Wink
enwerder to pitch for the other team.
Mondays game netted something
over $50 toward the park fund, but the
score was lot more than that.

P. p. & l. DON'T FLUSH
WATER MAINS ENOUGH
City Health Officer F. M. Crosby Says
Plant Needs Cleaning
Oftener

City Health Officer F. M. Crosby
says he is going to try higher author
ity in compelling the Pacific Power &
Light company to flush the city water
system more thoroly and at shorter
intervals.
"The city water system has not been
flushed for over six weeks that know
Of" said DIR. Crosby this morning.
"And when they do flush the mains,
the Job is not thoroly done. The job
may pass muster in city where the
mains are bigger and deeper, but in
this hot climate, with the poorly con-
structed wooden mains laid just deep
enough to be covered, the job should
be done and done right every ten days
or two weeks at the outside. All they
seem to do now is to stir up the mud
that has accumulated. If we can't
have it done properly without higher
authority than mine, it is quite pos
sible that we can secure the higher
authority"

RANCH HOME TOTALLY
DESTROYED BY FIRE
Residence, Milk House and Wind Mill
of 'Old Griffith Place" Burn
No Insurance

Fire of an unknown. origin COM
pletely destroyed the residence, milk
house and windmill on the place be-
longing to Ben Regal, five miles up
the River Road last Wednesday night,
causing loss in the neighborhood Of
$4,000.
The house was located on the farm
known as the old Griffith place, and
was occupied, temporarily, as the
sleeping place of the owner, as he was
employed away from home. AS there
had been no fire used for couple days
the origin is mystery. Mr.. Regal
slept on the front porch and as the
fire started in the rear Of the place the
whole building was blazing before he
awoke, and he was unable to save any
thing from the building. BY strenu-
Gus work of neighbQrs the barn was
saved.
Among other articles lost in the
fire was $3.50 in money and war saw
ings stamps. There was no insurance.

seen-and they didn't spoil.

WANT FINE SPECIMENS
FOR THE STATE FAIR
Inspector Lists Articles Needed
to Complete Benton County
Exhibit

Fruit growers and others interest
ed in the State Fair and especially
Benton county's role, will greatly in
crease the chances of the county win
ming first place if they will bring in
their choice specimens of fruit and
vegetables. These can be left at the
Church Mfg. Co.'s cold storage plant.
The following are some of the ma
terial that we will need in order to
meet the entrance requiremnts of the
State Fair: Apples, 10 varieties, five
each; pears, four varieties, five each;
plums, two varieties, IL each; grapes,
three varieties, four punches each.
Potatoes, five varieties, peck each;
cabbage, two varieties, two heads of
each; onions, two varieties, one dozen
each; squash, two varieties, two each i:
pumpkins, two varieties, two each;
tomatoes, three varieties, one dozen
each; miscellaneous vegetables and
fruit, ten varieties.
Last year Benton county put on a
very creditable exhibit, due in the
most part to the efforts of the former
district inspector, F. E. Bailey. Mr..
Bailey having left the district, it re-
mains for the people of the county to
put forth some little efforts of their
own in order that Benton county NAV
stand in the front row with the other
county exhibits.

THE PRICE OF GAS
DON'T BOTHER HIM
Horse Heaven Farmer Discards Gas
Engines-Uses Siphon in
His Well

eff you could get water on this land,
it would be the most productive terri
tory in the world" is the exclamation
made by nearly everyone who visits
the Horse Heaven country. And eng
ineers have worked on the plan for
years, and some action has been taken
to put water on the hills already. But
the job will take years to complete, at
best, and some of the residents have
become impatient and taken things
into their own hands. For instance
several of the hill farmers have bonded
themselves to put down community
well in the hopes of securing artesian
water. This well is now under con-
struction,
But there's one farmer living in the
hills who has managed to solve the
problem for himself. Joe Svatonsky
has a ranch Is miles southwest of
town, where he pastures many head of
cattle, horses and sheep. His big prob
lem has always been to secure suffic-
lent water for them. Hauling from
the ditch in town, or the river was
much too expensive, so he dug couple
wells on his place.
He got some water in each well, and
then his problem changed to getting
the water out of the wells. Windmills
proved too undependable. Gasoline
engines were costly to operate and
We're extremely short-lived. Finally
he had three, in the hopes that he
could keep one on the job.
He solved the problem for good by
siphoning the water to his tanks. Much
experimenting was done before he
succeeded, but he now has A-inch
pipe running continuously day and
night, and thinks he could fill an inch
pipe as well.
Fortunately his wells were located
on a slope and by running his outlet
something over quarter of mile he
could make it lower than the bottom
of his wells. BY an ingenious arrange
ment of inverted "goose-necks" and a
water barrel he filled his siphon, which
when opened, started his flow.
The scheme provides more water
than his stock can consume, and his
three $4,000 gallon tanks are kept
overflowing. This winter he plans on
putting in still more pipe to carry the
overflow to a point where it can be
used for irrigation.

pected and it will now be possible,
probably, to find parking space around
the pavilion for the cars of spectators.

TUMBLES BETWEEN
TRAIN AND PLATFORM
Pat Mooney Narrowly Escapes
Death and Mutilation-''Not
My Day to Go"

Pat Mooney bears a charmed life.
Last Friday morning he escaped a
horrible death by the skin Of his teeth
or rather the skin Of his shoulders
and legs. Attempting to board the
engine on a freight train he missed
his footing and fell between the
wheels and the depot platform, being
rolled over and over, Hopping his arms
and legs repeatedly across the rails,
but each time miraculously managing
to jerR them out Of the way just in
the nick of time.
While another trainman was stand
ing close to the edge Of the platform
when Mooney fell he could do nothing
to help him, because Of the very linn
tied space between the moving cars
and the platform, except run along
shouting, "Keep off the rails"
The engineer, seeing the tumble,
brought the train to a stop as quickly
as possible, but not until after Pat
had lost lot of skin from his should
ers and legs and had bruises scattered
all over him from his head to his feet.
Operator j. G. Kelley, who was on
the platform at the time ran for the
phone and DIR. Crosby was at the sta
tion almost as soon as Mooney was
brought in. Mooney came to in few
minutes and after feeling of himself,
said: "Well, ] guess you guys won't
get to go to my funeral this week,
anyway. This certainly wasn't my
day to 60"
