WAS SOLOMON WIsE2

Solomon has always been advertised
as very wise man, but If the history
OF his life and that of his son Reho-
boam, is correct, they wrecked their
power and their people by excessive
taxation.
Citizens in practically every city,
county and state in the United States
are facing much the same problem as
did the people under Solomon. Enorm-
Gus expenditures are being made for
all kinds Of public undertakings. Local
taxes have been constantly increasing.
All OF these taxes are added to the
cost of living through increased prices
and rents. The ultimate consumer and
day laborer cannot pass the taxes on
to the other fellow. They pay them all.
Taxes and debts have wrecked more
governments and impoverished more
nations than all the wars of history. At
the height Of our prosperity, is good
time for us to check up on our debt
and tax situation. The family that
spends more than it can afford is
headed for trouble, and the nation
which overcrowds the tax payments is
following the same path.

LETTER FROM EAST
TELLS OF UNUSUAL HEAT

"Am enclosing two dollars for an
other years subscription for the home
paper. Simply couldn't get along
without it as we are both glad to hear
of any advancement in the valley"
writes Cecil Barge from Lynn, Mass
achusetts.
Speaking of heat, I've seen it real
warm back here but for several days
it was terrible, almost unbearable,
many dying every day from the heat.
The factories shut down and many
places of business released their help
and they focked to the beach by the
thousands. Thousands stayed all
night and slept on the parking strips
that run the full length Of the beach.
Lynn Beach is over two miles
long, has solid fine sand bottom, has
a gradual slope out to sea, is on the
main Atlantic and is considered the
best beach in the country. Mrs.
Barge and have certainly enjoyed
ourselves in the surf. We go in
practically every evening and during
the extreme hot spell stayed in until
eleven or twelve o'clock several
nights.
1--WE have visited several places of
historic interest since living here.
Bunker Hill Monument, Concord,
Lexington, Plymouth, and several
Q her places. We are only eight miles
from Boston and go over quite often
on the famous Narrow Gauge railway.
I'VE are planning a trip to the
White Mountains, Adirondacks, Lake
Champlain and on 10 Montreal about
the middle of next month. The sum
rners and falls are beautiful here, but
for winters give me the Priest Rapids
valley. There is not much rain but
the snow gets about four feet
and in many places, still deeper.
Am getting along fine in my work
and at present have charge of the
testing Of two 5000 X. w. steam tur-
bines and one 1900 X. w. automatic
double extraction turbine. The G. E.
here has an output of from twenty
five to fifty machines a month, which
means quite kilowatt output.
"The extraction turbines are used
for process work in the manufacture
of paper and other products; also
used for heating and drying purposes.
I might say that j worked on and
had charge of the first double auto
matte extraction mixed pressure tur-
bine that has ever been built, each
extracting steam and different press
ures. This machine was on test for
two months and since then has been
more highly perfected and goes
through the tests now in two weeks"

OREGON AGENTS VISIT

Ten agricultural agents from vari-
Gus counties in Oregon, in which ir-
rigation is practiceo, spent part of
Wednesday, August IL, at the Irriga-
ton Branch Experiment Station. This
was their first stop on tour of the
lower Yakima Valley. They were
accompanied by H. X. Dean, Super
intendent Of the Unlatilla Branch Sta
ton, which is located at Hermiston,
Oregon and F. L. Ballard, County
Agent Leader of Oregon.
These men were interested primari-
II lorage crops, especially those used
for pasture. Considerable time was
spent in going over the Investigations
of varieties of grasses and clovers and
of carrying capacity and methods of
handling sweet clover pastures for
dairy cattle and sheep. Other crop
problems discussed were varieties of
alfalfa, time of cutting alfalfa, va
rieties of cereals and corn, also the
time planting, spacing and cultivation
practices in corn production.
The Investigations of irrigation
methods and practices for corn and
potatoes caused considerable discus
sion. Other irrigation investigations
upon which some time was spent were
the water holding capacity of the soil,
rate and depth of percolation and loss
OF soil moisture thh ough evaporation
and deep percolation.
Or the horticulture problems which
are being investigated the growing OF
sweet potatoes and potatoes were OF
greatest interest. The men from Coun-
ties in which fruit is not primary
crop, hut all counties represented do
grow considerable truck crops.

READY TO START
ice MAKING MACHINES

While few workrnen will be kept
busy for month or more finishing
up odd jobs here and there, the big
cold storage plant at White Bluffs is
complete. The structure, which is built
of reinforced concrete, is 80 by III
feet and IS feet, 6 inches hi ig h
Ground for the plant was broken April
l, 1926, and the actual construction
was under way about three weeks later
AS high as 100 men have been en-
ployed at one time during the peak OF
construction.
The completed plant, which will cos,
in the neighborhood of 100000, has a
storage capacity of 100 cars of fruit in
addition to 30 tons of ice.
John McFee, one of the stockhold-
ers, is the manager and will have COM
plete charge of the plant.
Two ice making machines have been
installed, one III by 71l and one by
9, with respective capacities of II and
80 tons of ice every "a hours. Next
year the cold storage company plans
to install pure ice making machine
that will turn out product as clear
as glass. This kind of ice is used in the
/, dining car service and for household
use. The plant has it's own water sys-
tenn. The present we'll has capacity
of IT'S gallons per minute but the well
will be- deepened until flow of 200
gallons is secured.
What is known as the brine system
is to be used. This is the very latest il,
cold storage plants and keeps the fruit
cod with moist instead of dry air.
There are only four similar plants in
the state at this time.
The entire building, including the
roof, is fire proof. All of the outside
concrete walls are lined on the inside
with four inches of cork, and cork in
sulation is used throughout the build
ing. The cork, which was shipped di
rect to White Bluffs from Spain, cos
$4,000.
"A complete conveyor and elevator
system is being installed so that thu
plant can be operated efficiently ane
economically.
/ Unless something happens to inter
fere with the present plans it is ex
pected to start the ice making ma
chimes either Saturday or Monday.
The only service the plant can give
this year probably will be in providing
storage for the late apples, but mex
year growers will begin to realize it:
real benefits through the preceding
of the early fruit and holding it under
ice while carloads are being assembled
so that the high express rates can bs
done away with. Shipping east in car
loads will give the growers better
market. AS it is now, practically all o.
the early stuff has to go to Seattle.
i With apple prices as uncertain as
they seem now, Winesap growers vii
find another advantage in being able te
store their apples at home this year.
From present Indications the plan
this year viii be operated to capacity

NICE LITTLE DUST STORM

A wind storm, undoubtedly close
relative of the tornado that paid a
hurried visit to the Gulf of Mexico,
whipped across the state Wednesday
night and left more or less damage in
its wake. Throughout the irrigated
districts many apples were blown from
the trees, but on account of the low
price outlook and the fact that the
trees in most cases were too heavily
loaded, the damage done was probably
more apparent than real. Due to a
poorly arranged program, the storm
was much more disagreeable than nee
essarv-the rain that followed it
should have preceded it and thereby
detracted less from the peace of mind
of the housewives when they viewed
their homes the next morning.

DALLAS M'GLOTHLEN
POST IS NO MORE

! The State Convention of the Amer
lean Legion at Longview made per-
n,anent the temporary suspension of
Dallas McGlothlens Post No. l24, OF
White Bluffs and Hanford, thus
bringing to an end what was once the
most talked of small post in the Uni
ted States.
1t was organized on Arnistice
Night, 1920, and James Sheppard,
now Sheriff of Benton County,
elected its first Commander. Mr..
Sheppard was succeeded by Fred M.
We'll, during whose administration
the Post secured its colors, permis-
sion from the State to use the brick
school house as its meeting place, its
rifles; and therefore became the first
100 per cent Post in the United
States. This 100 per cent record was
maintained for three years after un-
der the administrations of ]. c. Syf-
ford, Ford Johnson and K. p. Rey-
nolds.
A year since, however, under the
leadership of some of the soldier
settlers attempting to use the Post as
political weapon to further their
cause with the State, the last Com
rnander, o. B. Gwin, and the original
members Of the Post were side
tracked and the delegation that went
to Port Angeles in 1925 was entirely
land settlers delegation. 1t at
tempted to secure from the State
Convention at Port Angeles an un-
qualified endorsement of the so-called
D,,~l;,, D1or,
to put thru with the State. The State
Convention declined to make this en-
dorsement but readily and willingly
passed resolution that the Gov
ernor cause an Investigation OF the
affairs on the project and that settle
ment be made with all who could
show just cause for adjustment. This
in no way satisfied the delegation, and
on its return to the Valley it caused
to be circulated thruout the State a
resolution, among other things, de.
nouncing the American Legion and
denying its right to further interest
itself in behalf of the settlers.
i This brought about an immediate
summons from the Department Com
nander for retraction and as this
was refused the temporary suspension
of the entire Post was ordered. The
land settler members of the Post re-
sponsible for the circulation of this
resolution were notified that at the
Executive Committee meeting of the
American Legion at Longview the
charter would be definitely suspended
but were offered an opportunity for
hearing in the event tilev cared ro
show cause why it should not be de-
finitely suspended. No appearance
was made and Dallas McGlothlen
Post No. 124, forifa number of years
the pride Of the American Legion, is
no more.
The delegation to the Longview
Convention from the new John Lind
blad Post at White Bluffs was made
up of Henry Allard, James E. Sells,
o. B. Gwin and H. F. Kirby.

FRESH AIR ESSENTIAL

Fresh air is as essential for good
health Of cows, horses, hogs and other
stock as for the physical well being of
human beings. Ventilation in barns
and other buildings in which stock are
kept is just as necessary as in homes,
schools and factories. The stabling OF
animals in dark, poorly ventilated,
damp barns effect their health and
Helps to spread tuberculosis when the
germs are present. Clean, wholesome
milk can be had only from healthy
cows. Poor ventilation also causes
damp or wet barns. In the colder sec
tons of the United States unvcntj-
lated barns are frequently found III
which the roofs and ceilings are dripp-
irg wet with condensed moisture. This
condition results in moulding of feed
ard hay stored in such buildings.
Proper ventilation aids in the prevent
ion of spontaneous combustion in
haymows and granaries.
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1926-08-27
INSECTS SPREAD PLANT
DISEASE

Experiments have shown that the
cucumber aphis after feeding on a
mosaic plant can transmit the disease
to healthy plant within five minute
period of feeding the latter. A small
number of aphids produce mosaic
as promptly and as consistently as
greater numbers.
You should know and therefore be
armed against health hazards lurking
in the environment, such as polluted
water and milk, congestion in housing,
poisonous dust in certain industries,
and other environmental factors. The
removal of the great environmental
enemies of public health must always
remain the basis of public health work.
OF these enemies impure drinking
water and defective arrangements for
the removal of organic filth from sub
sequent human contact are the great
est dangers to health and life.
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1926-08-27

Ill-health is the greatest single
cause of human unhappiness and hui
man discomfort. It is estimated that
100000 persons in the United States
are ill all the time and that AZ per
cent of this illness is preventable.
In 1900 the average loss of time per
person from illness was thirteen days
in 1928 seven days.l This lowered
sickness rate indicates effective meas
ures in control and prevention of
certain diseases, mostly communicable,
and in further explanation of health
problems we recognize the enormous
number of deaths from heart disease
and cancer. The former can be les
sened by periodical examinations Of
adults, the latter by early diagnosis
and removal.
See your family doctor at least once
year and check up on your health.

POOL SHIPS FIRST CAR JOINS

White Bluffs growers marketing
their crops this year as the White
Bluffs Fruit Pool through Lee M.
Lempson of Kennewick, shipped their
first car of Jonathans on Thursday.
The second car will go out the first of
next week. What happens after Sep
tember to the Jonathans no one
knows. Shippers in Yakima say that
after that date they will quote out
JonatEans at $50 for Extra Fancy.
No grower can grow, pick and pack
them for that price and unless the price
stiffens it looks like there would be
lot of Johns left on the trees.
