TELL OF OCEAN CURRENTS
Bottles Used by Scientists to Procure
information Of Value to Sea
voyagera

The ocean traveller, who, In mid-At.
lantic. sees s.om the side Of his liner Q
bottle, apparently the helpless sport OF
the waves, should look at II with eyes
81 respect, enjoins London Answers
writer. II Is probably one Of many
lonely yoyagers whose mission II Is to
chart the oceans Of the earth.
Bottles In hundreds are at present
scattered over the surface Of the North
sea, rendering valuable service to the
scientists who study ocean tides. Many
q them, we are told, are liberated
from llghtshlps, to wander. It may be-,
many months before they are picked
up by some passing trawler, or to float
ashore on some remote beach In Nor
way. Denmark, or on the wild coast Of
Shetland.
request to the finder to post partlcu-
lars of the place and date OF picking
ND to the fisheries department Of our
ministry of agriculture. Thus our ex-
perts know how long and In what d.
rectiOn the bottle has floated, and the
speed and direction Of the ocean cur
rent that carried 1t is thus ascertalned
and placed on record.
Similar bottles are charting the cur
rents Of the Baltic and the Atlantic
and Pacific oceans, and from their
travels the currents Of these seas are
being traced on the worlds maps
II these vagrant bottles could but
speak, what strange tales they could
tell of their long wanderings over the
face of the waters, for not few have
drifted for considerably over year
before they have come to land again.
Thus one bottle was only recovered
400 days (mOre than sixteen months)
after It had been flung into the Allan
tic, and during this period 1t had jour
neyed 400 knots, much more than
fifth Of the distance around the equa-
tor.
This astonishing record was com
pletely eclipsed by another bottle,
which spent two and a half years Mt
sea, b0bblng steadily along at an aver
age of four and half knots day.
But this bottle was veritable tor
tOlse compared with one thrown over
board from steamer, which actually
drifted 1900 knots In a peroid of lSl
days, keeping up an average speed Of
22.7 knots (nearly q land miles)
day.

Firm Of Methuselahs.

Records in long service have been
set up by employees of Messrs, Peek.
Frean 4 Co., the biscuit manufactur-
ers, who have on their staff no fewer
than 346 people with twenty-five or
more years service to their credit,
says London Tit-Bits.
: The veterans were recently pre-
sented with souvenirs of their long
association with the firm, and II was
found that twenty-six men and one
woman had served for 80 years; 90
were In receipt of pensions; nearly q
hundred were graybearded. and that
between them they had served r..
9481a years. This Is an average Of
more than 81 years service each.
The longest term Of service was 81
years. the record of Michael O'Grady.
and the oldest man was G. s. White,
who is ninety. He has been with the
Arm for 29k years.
A unique record Is that OF two
brOthers-Arthur Carr. the managing
director and Ellis Carr. The former
received his presentation for 80 years
service from his brother, to whom he
In turn presented memento for 81
years service.

Heat for the Walker.

Heat projected from gigantic cleo
trio radiator mounted on an automo-
bile truck warmed curious New York
ers on lower Broadway during the
recent chilly days, the New York
Sun says. The truck carried adver-
tising banners for patented electric
heater az well as samples of the prod
ucts.
The giant heater was replica Of
the smaller ones. II stood about six
feet high and evidently was fed from
a group of powerful batteries, or per.
haps from small dynamos operated by
the engine Of the truck.
As the unique advertising device
moved slowly along the street, with
the radiator "almed" toward the shop
windows, II gave forth wave of heat
that was decidedly welcome to the
pedestrians within range.

RAID STILL
ON RANCH
Federal Officer Finds One
Source of Richards
Moonshine Supply

Clarence and Arthur Sutton and
IL gallons of "kawn Ticker" were TAX
en- into custody last Friday by Depu-
ty Sheriff G. E. Copeland and Chief
of Police Jack Dale, at the Sutton
ranch near Richland.
The raid came as the result of the
secret work of an u. S. prohibition
officer who was brought here by the
sheriff's office to locate the source
of Richards moonshine supply. He
succeeded in getting in touch with
Clarence Sutton and negotiating for
the purchase of his entire stock. Fri
day in company with the two local of
ficers he went to the Sutton ranch.
The local men secreted themselves in
the willows a short distance from the
farm and the detective completed the
purchase by paying young Sutton
$40 for the IL gallons which was con-
tanned in fruit jars and hidden in
the corn field.
Search of the premises failed to
reveal the booze factory but later
Arthur, the younger brother, led the
officers to the Barnard ranch where
copper boiler was located in the
willows. No coils were found.
The boys were taken to Prosser
where Clarence was fined $3.50 and
sentenced to 60 days in Jail. The fine
was paid and the Jail sentence sus-
pended pending good behavior. No
charges were preferred against Ar
thur.

In addition to the above, levy of
$1.00 per acre was made toward the
reserve fund, provided by law against
the change of dates in collection of

The net result is that the levies in
the next assessment roll will be $1.65
per acre less than the last, and the
total roll will be less by $17,325.
The reserve fund mentioned was

FIRST FILINGS
START FRIDAY
July Il is the First Day on
which Candidates Can De-
clare Intentions

The heaving of hats into the po-
litical ring is soon to begin. Friday
OF this week is the first date on which
candidates can file for the primary
election on September IL. The last
date for filing is August 12.-
The time for filing initiative petit
tions was up last Friday and only
two of the nine bills that had been
in circulation had enough signatures
to qualify. They were the 3O-1O school
plan and the repeal of the poll tax.
The other seven, all of which were of
a partisan or political nature, fell by
the wayside.
In addition to the initiative bills
there will be two referendum meas
ures on the ballot this fall. Both of
these were passed by the last lgis-
lature to make changes in the present
primary and registration law. One
requires party registration and the
other obliges party conventions to
file their platforms with the secre-
tary of state and candidates for Of
flee to subscribe to the principles Of
the party on whose ticket they run.
The ballot will also carry three pro.
posed constitutional amendments. One
proposes to increase the pay Of state
legislators to $40 day, another re-
lates to the manner of paying out
money from the state treasury and
the third relates to the rights of ac-
cused persons.

ELECTRICITY
FOR BRIDGE
Pacific Power & Light Will
Supply $50 Horse Power
to Contractor

The Pacific Power & Light COM
pany is extending line to the O-W.
R. & N. bridge across the Columbia
where the Missouri Valley Iron &
Bridge company has a contract for
building a $1,5OO,OOO all-steel bridge
for the Union Pacific. The bridge
company has contracted for $50 cleo
trical horse power and have installed
motors to operate their equipment.
For the most part the electrical pow
er will be used to operate the air
compressors used in building the big
concrete piers.
The new line goes directly through
Hedges and will bring joy to the
hearts of many ranchers in that dis
trict as they will now be able to light
their homes without standing the cost
of the extension.
In this connection Manager L. A.
Stafford says: "The Pacific Power &
Light company has made substantial
reduction in its requirements in con-
nection with financing line extensions
to serve rural business. The reduc-
tion has already gone into effect.
"It has been the practice of the
company in all cases where line ex-
tensions which has cost considerably
out of proportion to the gross annual
revenue for the company to ask the
prospective customer or customers to
help finance the extension on such a
basis as to make the extension COM
pare favorably with other business
handled by the company so that Gus
toners already on lines would not be
burdened with excessive operating ex-
penses on account Of long, non-pro-
fitable rural extensions. The COM
pany has always felt that it would
be unfair to burden the existing Gus
toners with Improbable business
produced by new customers.
"The company has recently gone
into the matter extensively and it
has announced that the amount OF
participation to be made up by the
customer on Improbable lines has
been materially reduced"
