PRISONERS
MAKE GETAWAY
Men Let Into Jail Corridor
to See Fireworks Unlock
Outer Door


So far as the sheriff's office is ad-
vised Eugene Biart and Jake Gordon
former inmates of the county jail
at Prosser, are still celebrating. The
evening of the Fourth the two pris-
oners were let out of their cells into
the corridor that they might witness
fireworks display. They had es-
capped by unlocking the paddock on the
outer door. They left behind them a
note thanking the sheriff for his kind
ness.
The supposition is that the key was
one made by the three men who were
convicted of robbing the White Bluffs
bank. A former prisoner who was in
carcerated with the bank robbers told
the sheriff they had made three keys,
only one of which was found.
Jake Gordon, who is SON of VIM.
A. Gordon, of this city, was held on
charge of having burglarized the
Granger store at Prosser and his COM
panion was held on horse stealing
charge.

KENNEWICK LOSES
CELEBRATION GAME
Pasco Noses Out Winning Run in Last
Half of Ninth-Play HanfOrd
Here Sunday

1t was a disappointed bunch of
baseball fans who journeyed back from
Pasco Tuesday after the Independence
Day game. At the beginning of the
last half of the ninth the score was
to 3 in Kennewick's favor, at the
finish it was to a in Pasco's favor.
Hits by Head and Gill did the trick.
Kennewick started the scoring in
the first of the second by putting two
men across and Pasco came back in
this frame with one run. In the fifth
Kennewick annexed two more which
completed their scoring. Pasco made
two in the sixth which left them one
run behind when they came to bat
the last time.
Hanson who pitched for Kennewick
was hit for total Of II safeties, while
Morain held Kennewick down to 6
good ones. Each team was marked
up for three errors.
Kennewick's next game is on the
home grounds next Sunday with Han
ford.

Congressman Webster Says
Bill Will be Passed Be-
fore Next March
TARIFF MUST FIRST
BE DISPOSED OF
Blaine Says Presidents Veto
On Bonus Measure Can
not Stop 1t

Friends of the SmIth-McNary bill
have by no means lost hope that it will
be passed by this congress If not at
the summer session at the short ses-
sion next winter.
Congressman j. Stanley Webster
who returned last week to his home
in Spokane brings an encouraging re-
port. He says:
81 prefer the bill to stand on its own
merits, rather than have it tied up
with the bonus or any other measure.
He said it was not practical to take
up the bill until the senate was free
of the tariff and delay would be bene-
ficial to the passage Of the measure.
"We have an organization per-
fected of representatives OF the re-
clamation states, members Of which
are assigned to discuss reclamation
with delegations from every state in
the Union" he explained. eve main
tain check on every representative
and efforts are made TO explain the
merits of the bill and the need Of re-
clamation to every representative who
might be opposed.
"There is more sentiment in con-
gress in favor of the reclamation Of
arid lands than ever in history and
this campaign for the Smith -McNary
bill will be carried on. The better the
bill is understood, the better its chance
of passing, and believe the Smith
McNary bill will be passed on before
March,"
E. F. Blaine, director Of the West
ern States Reclamation association
writes that if the Smith-McNary bill
and the bonus bill are joined into one
measure it will be passed by big ma
jorities in both houses and that ma
jority will be large enough to pass il
over the presidents veto.
sT am sure," says Mr.. Blaine, shat
if the Smith -McNary bill passes as
part of the bonus bill, the ex-service
man will be power in appealing to
congress for very large appropriations
for reclamation work. Should this
prove true there is no reason why the
largest of the projects should not be
completed within a comparatively
short time"

EARLY BLAZE
IN HOSPITAL
Fire Department Does Ef-
fective Work With New
Fighting Equipment

Kennewick's fire department dem
onstrated the usefulness of the new
fire truck ct three o'clock Friday
morning when frie broke out in Mac
Gregor hospital. Before the siren had
finished sounding the alarm, the truck
driven by Ray Copeland, was out of
the station and on its way. The
flames which had enveloped the attic
of the hospital were soon subdued with
out great damage to the building, the
however, were badly DAM
aged by water. Fortunately there were
no patients in the hospital.
The fire which originated on the
interior between the ceiling and the
roof is thought to have been caused
by defective wiring.

KENNEWICK SPENDS
VERY SANE FOURTH
Hot Weather and Neighboring Cele-
brations Make This One Deadest
Towns on Globe

The Fourth of July came and went
in Kennewick exactly according tc
schedule. 1t was perhaps one Of the
deadest places on the globe. Those
of its citizens who didn't go to Rich.
land, to Pasco, to Finley or to some
other place where celebration was
in progress, stayed pretty close under
the shade in their own back yards OF
took part, puiet and easy like, in pic.
mics with few of their friends.
While the ball game drew a large
crowd to Pasco for the most part the
all-day celebrants went to Richland
where an excellent celebration was
staged under the shade trees in Rich
land park. Hundreds of families
spread their lunches in the park and
otherwise enjoyed the festivities which
were admirably handled by the Rich
land folk.

RIVER CLAIMS
w. SHOEMAKER
One of Pasco's Best Swim
mers Swept to Death by
Strong Current

William Shoemaker, of Pasco, was
drowned Saturday afternoon while
swimming in the Columbia river and
there is little hopes Of recovering the
body unless it is caught in some of
the big eddies farther down the river.
Shoemaker was an expert swimmer
and his death was due to one of the
treacheries of the terrific current of
the big river, especially at the present
stage of water One of this years
water stunts of a number of Pasco's
strongest swimmers has been to walk
out on the false work of the new high
way bridge, dive off, and swim from
one pier to another. They had discov-
cred that by bucking the current they
were easily carried back to the Pasco
side.
Saturday Shoemaker swan out as
usual but to his death instead of to a
safe landing. The supposition is that
he was caught in different run of the
current and was carried into: mid
stream instead of toward shore. The
first warning the other swimmers had
that Shoemaker was in trouble is when
he reached one of the mid-channel
piers. He called for help as he clung
to the pier but only for an instant
when he was snatched away by the
swirling waters and was not seen
again.
The drowned man, who was about
80 years of age, leaves wife and s.
year-old daughter. He is brother
of G. B. Shoemaker, manager of the
Kennewick Flour Mills company and
of Mrs. B. King, of this city. Before
going to Pasco to become warehouse
man for the Pasco Four Mills, he was
employed for year in a similar ca
pacity in the Kennewick Mills.

HITS
HIGH SPOTS.
Government Thermometer
Registered 100 Monday
Hotter Down Town

Hot it was and hot it is. Not
to be outdone by last winter which
shattered some recrods, the summer
is warming up evidently for some rec
ord stunts of it's own.
Last Monday the mercury in the
government thermometer crept up the
tube to the 100 mark while downtown
Thermometers were batting around LIZ
and la. Some OF the old timers claim
it was the hottest day the valley has
ever experienced. The government
thermometer however in 1907 regis
tired a maximum of LA. Conditions
then were far different. The desert
was close up and there was little or
no irrigation or vegetation the gov
ernment thermometer was in sand
lot back of the old Courier Office where
as it is now located on the lawn at the
Spiegleberg home on the Highlands.
Mondays heat was accentuated by
hot wind which blew throughout the
day and made life miserable for both
vegetable and animal life.
Fortunately water which had been
turned out Of the canals to kill the
weeds was turned back Sunday and
by Monday irrigation was resumed ex-
cept on the lower reaches Of the ir-
rigation system. Reports are that
crops suffered little or none because
Of the suspension and the main canals
and laterals were effectually cleared
of obstructing water growths.
There is some difference of opinion
as to how badly the wheat fields have
suffered because q the hot winds.
The concensus Of opinion is that the
winter wheat, harvest Of which will
start next week, has been damaged
but little. The yield has not been af-
fected as to quantity but the grade of
the wheat will probably be cut down
some. Damage to the spring wheat
has been somewhat heavier. Drouth
injury has been muc lighter in the
fields near Kennewick than farther
west where the shower of few weeks
ago was not so heavy as here.

Scott answered many questions con-
cerning the project.
One of the outstanding addresses
of the day was that of DIR. E. O..
Holland, president Of the State Col
lege, whose subject was Social Con-
ditions on the Farm" He said that if
the drift of population away from the
farm is to be arrested, if rural COM
munities are to be upbuilt, farm life
must be made more comfortable and
attractive. The first step toward
making farm life more attractive is
to make the farmers more prosperous.
He complimented the state chamber
upon the program it has mapped out
and said one of the most effective
ways to insure the prosperity of the
farmer is to bring about closer re-
lationship and mutual understanding
between the city man and the farmer.
In speaking of intelligent coopera-
tion, Col. Paul H. Weyrauch, said CO.
operation in it's relation to farm pro-
blems was usually thought of only
as a banding together of the farmers
for the purpose of marketing their
crops or to engage in community buy
ing Intelligent cooperation he said
was broader than this in that is should
include not only the farmer but all
who are interested in the farmers pro-
blems and cooperation becomes in
telligent only when there is coopera-
tion between the town and the farm
and between the city and the country.
Herbert Cuthbert, manager of the
Pacific Northwest Tourist association,
spoke on the scenic assets related to
state development. He said that more
people are attracted to the West each
year by the scenery than by any
other one thing. The increase in pop
ulation, he said, will solve nearly all
the problems of the state. It will
create a larger home market for our
agricultural and manufactured pro-
ducts. It will help reduce taxation
by providing more people to pay the
taxes. He said the INST serious pro-
blem confronting the nation today is
not in the realm Of politics, nor is it
the relation that capital bears toward
labor or labor toward capital, but the
relation which the population Of the
country districts bears to that Of the
cities and the smaller communities.
The migration from the rural COM
munities must be stopped and the
small communities must be encourag-
ed to educate their children to re-
main and help to build up their home
town.
Those in attendance at the meeting
at noon enjoyed luncheon in the
basement of the Christian church by
the ladies of the church. In the eve-
ming several of the visitors were TAX
en- for an automobile ride through
some Of the nearby farming neigh
borhoods.

Sonnie Gonzales Has Gone.
Communicated J

At 3 80 o'clock last Saturday after
noon the mortal remains of Robe,..
Allison Gonzales, better known to his
friends as 'Sonnie," who died on Fri,
day night Sept. 8 were inferred in the
Prarileville cemetery with impressive
services conducted by Rev. Felix Ar
cenaux and Rev. W. B. Waltman,
following the beautiful service at the
home of his brother, Eddie.
The most impressive scene was his
nine brothers, Alfred, Bennie, Eddie,
Hisen, Orile, Allen, Sidney, Lester
and Dewey, who acted as pallbearers,
performing this last sad duty permit
ted them fer their beloved brother.
People from all the surrounding
country, from far and near, attended
the funeral. The floral offerings
were many and beautiful It was
most impressive and touching sight
to see homage paid to one SO un:-
versally loved and honored. One
could but realize how dear he was to
the hearts of his own people by which
the old proverb was born in upon
ones mind: "they loved him most
who knew him best"
Sonnie Gonzales life could well
serve as an example to any young
man. He was man of the highest
characteristics and ideals, having
but; one aim and purpose in life, and
that was to do his duty as he saw
it: In all of our associations with
him, no one ever heard him utter an
unkind word about anyone, always
treating every one with loving con
sideration whether they were of his
opinion Or not.
Sonnie Gonzales was native Oh
this parish and had spent his long
and useful life respected and loved
| by all who came in contact with his
genial nature. AS citizen he took
an active part in the political affairs
of his parish and country.
Upon the tenderest heartstrings OF
his family a sorrow as heavy as ;.
huge stone has been rolled, and to
day they grieve. May we say to them
'mourn not. God lives and loves,
and rules, and in that beautiful worl,a
of somewhere he stands with white
| hands beckoning them to follow; you
shall meet him in the morning.
Deceased is survived by his step.
