White Bluffs M00nstine,- Asphyxiated
While Running Still on NeighbOr,S Farm

Entrance to the sump was by means
of steep stair and the whole had
been covered over with hay. Inside
was a complete equipment for the
manufacture of moonshine. The
heater was an oil stove and evidently
the operator had made no provision
for ventilation. The location of the
body and the condition of the still
indicated that DeVaul, doubtless Mon
Gay, had started to make a run and
had attempted to gain the exit when
he felt himself being overcome by the
fumes. 1t is thought he was on the
stairs when he collapsed and rolled
to the floor.
The stove had burned itself out,
the mash boiler was dry and contain
er for the finished product had over
flown.
An inquest conducted over the body
this afternoon was directed by Pros
ecutor George Beardsley and attended
by Sheriff Shepherd, County Physi-
clan L. G. Spaulding and Undertaken
I. N. Mueller, who has the body at
his parlors awaiting funeral arrange
rnents. The body will probably be
shipped for burial to DeVaul's former
home in Montana.

APPLE MEN TO
MEET MONDAY
Orchardists of This District
Urged to Assemble at
Legion Rooms

At a meeting in the American Le-
gion rooms Monday evening the fruit
growers of this district will be given
an opportunity Of hearing outlined
the proposed Hunt plan for market
ing the Northwest apple crop, and
expressing their preference for rep
resentatives on the special committee
of FIVE authorized at the recent con-
ference in Yakima.
Further consideration of a market
ing plan for the Northwest is to be
left to a committee Of five growers
to be chosen by the State Chamber
of Commerce. The State Chamber has
distributed representation two to the
Yakima Valley, two to Wenatchee and
one to Hood River and the growers
of these districts have been asked to
make nominations for membership on
this committee.
AT a meeting in Yakima yester-
day attended by 200 bona fide or
chardists, fifteen men were nominated
from which the growers of the valley
are to select six whose names are to
be submitted to the State Chamber.
Mr.. Lampson was one of those NOM
mated and he will be present Monday
night to fully outline the plan and
ask for the local orchardists.
Although this meeting has been ar
ranged it is primarily for growers
and every orchardist of this district
is urged to attend.

Elmer DeVaul White Bluffs ranch
er. aged 46, was found dead today in
an abandoned irrigation pumping
sump on the farm of neighbor about
mile from White Bluffs. DeVaul
came to his death by asphyxiation
from the fumes of an oil stove with
which he was operating a still.
DeVaul had been married but he
has been making his home with a
sister. He had been in the habit OF
leaving home for several days at a
time without giving any account OF
his goings and comings. He left home
Monday and his absence caused no
anxiety until it was noticed that he
had left without his overcoat which
caused his sister to believe that he
had not intended to be away from
home long. A search was instituted
and his car was found near the cem-
etery where it had stood for several
days.
Further inquiries brought the in
formation from neighbor that some
time ago DeVaul had asked permis-
sion to store some things in an aban-
doned concrete sump in his field. 1t
was here that the searchers found the
body.

School Board and Health
Officer Declare Vaca-
ton of One Week
MAY DECIDE NOT TO
OPEN NEXT WEEK
Churches Cooperate By Can
ceiling Sunday Schools
Next Sunday

In an effort to stay the spread
of measles in the community the
school board, cooperating with City
Health Officer DR.. A. G. Tuller, closed
the schools this week. While the
closing order was for one week only
it is possible that it will be continued
for another week.
''It is impossible to say now just
what action will be taken," said DR..
Tullar. "We shall not be able to say
whether school will open Monday un-
til we have checked up on the epidem-
ic Saturday or Sunday. The epidem-
ic seems to be checked to some extent
Tuesday 43 cases had been reported
inside the city limits and Wednesday
the number had grown to so. There
are undoubtedly number of cases
that have not been reported. / very
much fear that if the schools do re-
sumo Monday we will lose the head
way we have made"
Measles have been prevalent in
some of the rural districts much
longer than in the city. DR.. L. G.
Spaulding, county health officer says
that total of $50 cases have been re-
ported in the community as a whole.
He is of the opinion that this is not
more than half of the cases.
Cooperating with the school author
tiles, pastors of the Kennewick
churches have voluntarily cancelled
Sunday schools for next Sunday and
will continue the closing order the
following Sunday if the health officer
deem it advisable. Preaching services
will be held as usual.
The library association is also CO.
operating and no books will be Civ
en- out until the disease has been
brought under control. Mrs. McKain,
librarian, however, requests that all
books now out be returned without
delay so they may be fumigated be-
fore being placed on the shelves.
The Liberty Theatre will continue
to operate as usual but Manager M.
w. Mattecheck requests that children
be kept away from the shows while
measles are epidemic.
DR.. Tpllar explains that no attempt
will be made to discontinue meetings
IF adults but urges that every effort
be made to prevent the congregating
of children. The disease is most con-
tagious in its early stages and any
child above 6 months Of age is prac-
tically sure to be infected if it comes
in contact with child having meas
les. A child that has come in contact
with one. having measles should be
isolated by the parents until it is
known whether or not it has contract
ed the disease.
Not only in this community but in
nearly every section Of the state,
measles are epidemic. DR.. Paul A.
Turner. direcor of the state depart
ment Of health says that during De-
cember 5036 cases We're reported, and
4251 cases We're listed for the first
two weeks of January.
Prevalence of the disease increas-
ed from 81 cases in September to 388
in October and 1921 in November.
