.ELLENSBURG DELEGATION
OUR GUESTS ON MONDAY

The Ellensbrg business men have
sent word that there will be about
forty in their party that is expected
to arrive in White Bluffs next Mon
day afternoon to be guests of the
residents of this valley until Tuesday
morning, when they will go to Pasco
to participate in the big air mail cele-
bration there.
The party will be guests of the
Hanford community for luncheon and
during most of the afternoon, coming
to White Bluffs for a banquet that
will be served in Liberty hall at 7
o'clock sharp in the evening. At
torney ]. c. Lloyd will act as toast
master and some entertainment fea-
lures will probably be introduced
while the banquet is being served.
Tickets to the banquet will be SLIGO.
DR.. w. c. Hills has charge of these
tickets and reservations must be made
not later than Sunday evening so
that it may be known in advance how
many are to be served.
Following the banquet free band
concert and program will be given at
the high school auditorium. Every
one who can is urged to attend both
the banquet and concert. The Ellens-
burg visitors will undoubtedly have
something of interest to say to the
residents of this valley as well as
carrying with them stunt performers
and the evening promises to be an
entertaining one for every one at
tending.
A great many from this valley will,
including the band, accompany the
Ellensburg delegation to Pasco Tues
day morning for the big celebration.
Join the parade and enjoy an outing.

PAsc0 AIR MAIL JUBILEE

The Pasco Air Mail Jubilee will be
one of the biggest affairs of the kind
in the Northwest, according to the
response from the invitations sent
out to cities and towns of the dis
trict served by the branch line to
Pasco, Seattle, Spokane, Walla Wal
la, Wenatchee, Pendleton, and Yak
ina have accepted the invitation to
take part in the afternoon program.
Wenatchee will bring Queen Pauline
of the Apple Blossom Festiva, and Il
decorated car for her and another
beautiful decorated car filled with
attendants to the queen. Spokane
will feature some of the redskins
from the Indian Congress. Pendle-
ton will have stunt put on by the
Roundup committee The after
noon will be filled with short,
interesting and picturesque skits by
widely separated communities and ii
will be run thru rapidly SO that no
one. will have a, chance to tire.
There will be several commercial
planes in Pasco on that day to take
up passengers and it is likely that
some army planes will be present
from some of the three fields in the
state. The new Pasco air port is be-
ing put into shape and the hanger
rushed to completion as rapidly as
possible SO that it will be in readi-
ness before April for some trial
flights before the first plane hops Oh
with a cargo of mail.
Post office officials state that from
the way mail is pilling up at the local
postoffice more than one plane may
have to make the first trip to handle
it. Many people are sending letters
here and to Elko to be carried on the
first day so that the cancellation
stamps may be kept as souvenirs.
The sports committee reports that
the responses to the invitations to
the golf tournament insure a good
contest for the morning. At least
one ball game will be played between
the Whitman College team and the
locals. In addition there will be
dancing the evening of the fifth as
well as the sixth.

SALMON RUN EXPECTED SOON

Indians will soon be gathering al
the Horn of the Yakima for the an
nual salmon harvest. An occasional
steelhead is going up the river now
but the Indians say they do not ex-
ipect the run of chinooks to start for
another ten days. When the run is
on, the different dams along the Yak
ina river become quite rendezvous
for sightseers, especially on Sundays.
On their way to their spawning
grounds, the salmon must leap from
the swirling waters below the dams
to the water above and the sight is
an imposing one. The fish are caught
with gaff hooks By the Indians. Whites
are forbidden By law to catch the sal
mon on their way to the spawning
grounds but in keeping with treaties
the Indians are permit I'D 10 take what
the indians are permitted to take what
they need for food.

CLOUDY WEATHER KEEPS
JACK FROST IN CHECK

In keeping the promise of the U. S.
Weather Bureau, the sky all week
has been cloudy and rain seemed al
ways imminent. The weather has
been warm, the temperature always
being several degrees above the dan
ger point. The frost last week touch
ed up the soft fruits in practically all
the orchards that were not heated,
but it is thought the damage was very
small. The apples are in bloom and
if we get over the next two weeks we
are all set for bumper crop, prob
ably the largest in the history of the
valley.
The rain Wednesday night and the
cold wind Thursday put lot of chill
into the air and brought a warning
from Weather Man Cooke at Kenne-
wick Thursday evening that the indi-
cations we're that the temperature
would drop to q degrees or lower. At
8 o'clock it was down to 81, but the
clouding up of the sky and a steady
wind from the east about $3.50 broke up
the promised frost party and we rode
out the night without having to light
the orchard heaters, the lowest tenn
perature being 36.
The pumps of the Consumers
Ditch company at Allard were start
ed Wednesday night, March 81, on
the seasons run. The work of low
ering the intake at the White Bluffs
Water company's pumping plant is
not quite finished but it is expected
the plant will be in operation the first
of next week. A number of the pri-
vate pumping plants have been rum
ming intermittently for the last two
weeks and they will all be in operation
pretty steadily from now on. The top
of the ground is pretty dry for the
shallow things but there is still plen-
ty of moisture for the trees.

START WORK ON PLANT

Work was started on the 100000
cold storage plant the first Of the
week. The shed that was on the lots
where the plant is to be built has
been torn down and the lumber used
for a shed that is being built just
north Of the White Bluffs Warehouse,
to be used to store the cement for
the cold storage plant while it is un-
der construction, after which it will
serve as storage room for box
shocks and orchard supplies. The
excavation for the cold storage plant
was started Tuesday and it is expect
ed that this excavating will require a
week or more. Contractor Leo S.
Ross says he expects to have the
cold storage building finished within
go 6,ys but it is thought that the ice
making part of the plant will be
ready to begin operation about June

Cadet Training System Ex-
tended to Eight Junior
High Institutions.

High Stadium 1t was announced last
night by Assistant Supt. of Schools
Stephen E. Kramer. The uniforms
are to be worn by all boy students
during school hours whether or not
they belong to the cadet corps.
Decision to form what amounts to
a separate Junior high school cadet
corps, although it will be called the

between Mr.. Kramer, Col. W. M.
Carigie, professor of military science
and tactics of the school system. and
DR.. G. III. White, in charge of physical
culture work.

the neighborhood of $3.50, follows:
Blue chambray shirt with collar
attached; long white duck trousers,
sailors duck hat. military belt and q
narrow, black four finland tie.
Creation of the individual junior
high school military training has been
decided upon after three years prac-
tice has found impracticable the
training Of junior high cadet com.
panies under senior high cadet offi.
GERS and their participation in the big
competitive drill on an equal basis
with the senior high cadets.
Will Not Carry Arms.
The junior high boys who elect to
become senior high school cadets will
be placed under the charge of three
of Col. Craigie's assistants and given
squad and platoon movements to pre-
pare them for the manual of arms.
while those who are in the non-cadet
group will be given setting-up exer-
cises and calesthenics and mass ath-
letic work.
1t has been decided by the prin-
cipals of the six white and two col.
ored junior high schools involved that
the members of the junior high physi-
cal and military education corps will
not carry arms.

persons were seriously injured today
when two cars of the Chicago, South
Shore and South Bend Electric Rail-
way crashed on viaduct near here
and caught fire.

tracks two miles west of here was
struck on the single track by the
eastbound car coming down from the
crossing. The impact knocked one
car down a 25-foot embankment and
the other across the tracks. Both
caught fire Immediately, probably
from heaters in the cars.
Motor cycle policemen who arrived
shortly after the accident, rescued all

was burned beyond identification.
Motormen on the trains blamed the
signal lights at the approaches to

Washington today launches a
movement to memorialize in stone
the valor of her sons-both living
and dead-who fought in the World
War.
National tribute to Americas vic
tors already has been poured forth
in lavish measure at the Tomb of
the Unknown Soldier. 1t will find
further noble expression in the
great Arlington Memorial Bridge, to
span the Potomac River.
Now the District of Columbia en-
ters upon something peculiarly its
own. in planning to raise a fund of
100000 to build in Potomac Park a
beautiful temple as a local tribute
to those who represented the homes
of Washington in the armed forces
of the United States.
Throughout the city groups which
have been formulating during sew
eral weeks of careful preparation are
swinging into action, will gain in
momentum. and as the movement
grows, it is anticipated will reach
every Government office, every busi-
ness and every home with a direct
appeal to the patriotism, the civic
PAAo tiiC AoAiiy pIluS ana Il6
gratitude of each Washingtonian.
Formal Call Is Issued.
The District of Columbia Memorial
Commission, created by Congress to
erect a local memorial, having com
pleted all preliminary plans, last night
issued it's formal call upon the cit.
iZens of the National Capital for sub
scriptions to the temple in Potomac
Park.
Pointing out that the memorial is
to be located between the Lincoln
Memorial Rejecting Pool and the
Tidal Basin, the commission, of which
Frank B. Noyes is chairman, explains
that ''as both a memorial and a place
where military concerts may be held
the classic structure will serve a dual
purpose"
The temple. of marble, described as
"of exquisite beauty, dignity and
Greek simplicity" will preserve to
posterity, the commission says, the
names of all those who served from
the District of Columbia.
I'VE appeal to every Washing
tonian," says the commission, ito
contribute to this memorial; to those
for whom some one near and dear
served and to those not so favored
Your contribution to the 5000, 900 cost
of the memorial, whether it be for 81
$40, $1O0 or. $1,000, or any inter.
mediate sum, should not be a burden,
but personal tribute to the one, out
