COURT OF HONOR

While h re Wednesday, Harry Pal
mer, Boy Scout organizer, arranged
for a Court of Honor for the local
troop. At meeting Wednesday ,ev-
euing at the White Bluffs Trading
company store, o. F. Allen was cho-
sen chairman of the Court of Honor
and, under the regulations of the Boy
Scout order, is privileged to choose
such other assistants as he sees fit
when the court is sitting.
The functions Of a Court OF Honor
are to give certain tests to determine
whether the Scouts have progressed
far enough to entitle them to the VA
rious degrees of the order, from ten
derfoot to Eagle Scout.
Lack of Court of Honor in White
Bluffs was causing some of the local
Scouts TO lose interest, most OF them
having been ready for some time to
take the second degree tests.
With the court now established and
an opportunity given for the grown
ups to help it is expected that interest
will be renewed and an impetus given
locally to this great hoy movement.
Up to this time the Boy Scout organ
ization has been kept alive here by
Mr.. Kirkpatrick with the assistance
of Mr.. Gossard and Mr.. Steadman,
but the establishment of the Court Of
Honor will shift some Of the work to
the shoulders of others and will bring
about more widespread interest.

WENATCHE SOUTHERN
PRESIDENT VISITS HERE

Ed. S. Russell, president of the We
nat .hee S.u hern, VS. il White Bluffs
last Friday on trip over the southern
part of the route, Mr.. Russell said that
constitution work was progressing as
rapidly as possible. Heavy boulders on
the first few miles out of Wenatchee,
he said, slowed the work up but that
had been cleared up now and they were
ready for the steam shovels.
A crew this week is grading and lay
ing track on two miles S;tretch above
Beverly wkere commissary depart
ment and headquarters will be estab-
lished.
In an interview given out to the We
natchec World. Chief Engineer Walter
T. Bowen said
From that point north as far as that
old Coffin homestead we will carry our
supplies by boat. We have arranged
with Captain Fred McDermott of the
steamer Bridgeport, totIansport all of
our supplies and materials and unload
them at the desired destination along
TIE route. Capt. McDermQtt has te:n
over the river carefully and is study
ing the shore line and finds; that there
are several landing places at conven-
ic:.t locations along the route of the
Wenatchee Sou hern. He will take tie
steamer down through the Rock Is
land rapids at the conclusion of the
apple and wheat shipping season, at
witch time he will be able to carry on
the work up in the direction of We
natchee."

ccLD STORAGE FOR PEACHES

Peaches which have been in cold
c;:orage for more than month under
an experiment being conducted by the
State College of Washington horti-
culture department, are still in perfect
eating condition and indications are
that they viii keep considerably
longer.
This experiment proves that peaches
can be allowed to ripen on the trees,
and if they are cooled Immediately up
on picking and handled in cold storage,
will have much superior flavor to
those which are picked under-ripe and
allowed to ripen during handling.
Since the peach increases in size until
of good color, allowing the fruit to
ripen on the tree would increase pro-
duction.
/ The same has been found true Of
plunns under similar experiments con-
Quoted by the college.
The fruit kept about 20 days in base
ment storage at about 60 degrees
temperature.
Members of the horticulture depart
ment of the college will issue a bulletin
giving the results of the experiments
in detail. which will be available to
fruit growers later in the year.

TO Be srIckER CANDIDATE

M. M. Moulton, who lost the repub-
lican nomination for state representa-
tive in the primary, has consented to
become a sticker candidate at the gen
eral election in November. This con
sent was given only after literally
signed petitions from great many
precincts in the county had requested
it. Petitions received up to Thursday
morning, from Is of the 81 precincts
of the county, carried nearly 300 sig
natures. Over confidence, a well or
ganized minority and light vote in
the primary are believed by Mr.. Moul-
toms friends to have been the caus-
es for his losing the nomination. Only
n little over half the total vote in the
county was cast at the primary.
Beginning next week, an intensive
campaign will be carried on until the
November election, according to the
club that has been organized in Mr..
Moulton's behalf. Mr. Moulton will
be opposed in the general election ny

WHAT THE REPUBLIC THINKS

The treatment which the people OF
Prosscr handed out to Mark Moulton
of Kennewick was, in the opinion OF
an observer on the side lines, un-
jus. .ifiable. Prosser may want mem
Der of the legislature, but is not at all
likely to elect one this fall who will be
more useful to her than Mouton 1t
is a great mistake for communities in
the same neighborhood to line up
against each other as Prosser and
Kennewick have DONE. A little toler-
ance and forbearance and something
OF disposition to get along together
would be for the benefit OF everybody
concerned. we think. 1t may seem all
right for one town to take a little the
best OF it this year; the other town
will be pretty apt to do the same thing
next year. The game is always one
that two can play at, and there Is a
constant state of feeling that ought
not to exist which can produce moth
ing but unfortunate results. Moulton
would have been the biggest man in
the house in the coming session if he
had been returned.-Yakima Republic.

YAKIMA ROAD APPROVED

Word has been received that the
state engineer has approved of the ac-
tor of the Benton county commmis-
t.oners in spending the balance Of the
permanent highway fund, approxi-
mately $4,000, for the improvement OF
the Yakima road from the Cold Creek
post office 10 the Yakima county line.
This will be welcome news to the res
idents of the northern part Of Benton
county who have to travel between
this valley and Yakima, as the road is
in terrible shape now. 1t is expected
that the contract will be let and actual
construction work under way by De-
cember. 1t is believed that the $4,000
will put that part of the Yakima road
in permanent shape and will influence
the Yakima county commissioners to
do permanent work on that part of the
road in Yakima county.

MEETS TRAGIC DEATH
IN AUTO ACCIDENT

Mrs. H. F. Paschen of Hanford
was instantly killed ab.ut tour clock
Tuesday morning near Wallula, whe,
the car in which she was ri1ing VITA
MIR. Paschsn left the road and turned
over two or three times. Mr.. and
Mrs. Pascllen were returning from
FGllman, where they had gone Mon
Cay to pace tteir daughter Ruth and
Howard Angln of hanford in the
state college. They left White Bluffs
shortly after noon and reached Pull
man about $3.50 in the evening and
left on the return trip half hour
.at=r. M. Paschen said he was driv-
ing at only moderate speed when
he reached the curve near the hotel
IN Wal.ula, which is about 20 miles
southeast Of Pasco. 1t is what is
known as an curve and on the last
turn, Mr.. Paschen says, he got tco far
to the outside and the wheels on that
side striking the soft dirt threw the
car out of control and it went over
ths grade before he could right it.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Paschen were
thrown through the top and fell clear
of the car.
1t is thought that Mrs. Paschen was
killed by striking her head against
one of the cross pieces in the top. Mr..
Paschen escaped without scratch.
The top of the car, an Essex coach,
was somewhat damaged, the rear
glass and one on the side broken, the
windshield cracked and one front
fender bent Otherwise the car was
unhurt and was brought to Whit.
B uafs Tuesday under its own power.
The Wallula curve is known to
motorists as a bad one and has al
ready been the scene of two or thre,
fatal accidents.
Mrs. Paschen's tragic death was
rhock to til. White Bluffs community.
For several years she had helped Mr..
Paschen with the clerical work in the
White Bluffs Warehouse and was
known and liked III, large circle.
The fu-era' was held in Community
hall in Hanford and was attended by
an exceptionally large crowd. The;
service was conducted bv the local
chapter of the Order Of the Eastern
Star, of which Mrs. Pascf en- was a
member and interment was made in
the White Bluffs cemetery.

OUR FIRST CIRCUS

distinction of being the first circus to
play before White Bluffs audience.
1t wasn't three ring affair but was
good show and in spite of the fact that
they had to show on Sunday night due
to break down Of ono of the trucks
coming in Saturday, the circus drew

QUESTIONS ACCURACY
OF ECLIPSE PREDICTION
Astronomer Holds Scientists Erred
in Fixing Next Total Observation
of Sun Century Away.
STEAMSHIPS.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHARLOTTESVILLE. Va, Febru-
ary 3.-Astronomers who fixed the
date OF the next total eclipse of the
sun more than a century off erred
in their predictions according to DR..
Samuel a. Mitchell, professor OF
astronomy at the University of Vir-
ginia. DR.. Mitchell declared a total
eclipse. of the sun viii be visible in
New England on the afternoon of
August 81. 1882.
DIR. Mitchell is director of the
Leander Mccormick Observatory and
permanent chairman Of the commit
tee on eclipses of the American
Astronomical Society, and also
member of the international commit
tee on solar physics of the Interna-
tional Astronomical Union. The in
fluence of the moon, he said. was
responsible for the error in predict
ing the time of the next total eclipse.
The exact path of the eclipse o.
1925 was not predicted with absolute
accuracy. he said. Long range pre-
dictions of eclipses are based upon
OppolZer'S canon of eclipses, which in
turn is based on Hansen's lunar
tables. The time and position of an
eclipse of the sun depends, he de-
clared, on the moon, and long range
tables based on the actions of the
moon are extremely inaccurate.
AS now plotted. the eclipse of 1882
will start in the st. Lawrence Valley,
north of Montreal and will cross
Quebec, Vermont. New Hampshire
and southern Main. Further dis
placement, he said, is probable.

MILLION MORE IN SIGHT
FOR METHODIST MISSIONS
Board Calls Special Session at
Nashville to Adopt Budget
for Year.

by Ine ASsOClaIeO tTFSs
NASHVILLE, Tenn, February B.
The board of missions, Methodist
Episcopal Church South, convened yes
terday at Methodist headquarters with
indications that an additional million
dollars asked for missions was In
sight. This is the first special session
ever held by the board. the business
being to fix the annual budget for
missions.
The necessity for a called session
arose last May during the regular an
nual meeting, when it became appar-
ent that mission funds would not per-
NIT the board to set a figure for the
next years work, since the slow col
lections during the two years previous
made it apparent that the work could
not be conducted on the same scale
without involving the board in debt
larger than they could assume. Ac-
cordingly, it was decided to defer the
adoption Of budget and to inaugu.
rate a churchwide campaign to in.
form the constituency as to the
church's financial condition and ap-
peal for a fund adequate to meet the
missionary needs.
Approximately $4,000 is needed
to finance the missions Of the church
this year.

COLLIE, ONCE AN HEIR
TO $4,000, FOUND DEAD
Dog Aristocrat, With Mate and
Two Puppies, Figured in Long
Legal Contest.
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, February S.-Laddie,
collie aristocrat, once heir with three
other dogs to 5000. is dead. His
body was found hanging by his tether
from the rear porch of Mrs. Carrie
Bashaw's home. Three years ago Lad
die was owned by Mrs. Margaret How
ard, who, on her death, provided that
$4,000 of her $4,000 estate should
be devoted to the support of Laddie,
Minerva and their two puppies.
After a long court fight Miss Tilly
Leighton, heir at large, and the
Arkansas Children's Home, succeeded
in breaking the will. Arrangements
were made whereby the dogs were to
be taken care of by the Children s
Home. The case later attracted at
tention when legal talent represent
ing the dogs brought action in court
asserting that they were not being
supported in the luxury intended for
them by their owner.
