"Of course there was a lot of
serious business and lot Of clinics
and minor interests for the Pacific
Coast dentists who met in Port
land," said DR.. C. F. Bayson of
Spokane, "but I just dropped into
your office to tell you of the most
important thing of the whole con-
vention. Your young dentist Veg
ner, A. H., / think, and his part
nor DR.. j. j. Engle Of Colville,
won the horseshoe pitching con-
test against the best men that
several thousand tooth pluggers
could dig up.
"Now you may think I'm rather
nut to bother you about such a
thing, but really I never got such
a kick since Volstead got busy -
continued the doctor. "You know
we picked teams from all the west
ern states, British Columbia and
Alberta included, and just by
chance our state got a couple Of
good birds together and you should
have seen how those kids went
thru the whole bunch. Say, honest,
I can't talk well yet"
We had read before in the press
that the Washington team had
won this most important business
event of the Pacific Coast Dental
conference but we did not know
that Kennewick had contributed
such an important part of this
conference until this most genial
gentleman from Spokane paid US
a visit.
We wish more real' human be-
ings with real interest in life,
and a sense Of humor as well as
news would stop at this office as
well as the gas stations.

WINGED CAT
IS CAPTURED
Strange ProWler Found in
Poultry Yard bv Yak
ina Resident

Strange things are seen on the
Yakima Indian reservation and es-
pecially in the Wapato and Top
penish communities, says. the Yak
ina Herald. Wapato had it's two
cougars and Toppenish had its
rattlesnakes biting the cows. Now,
half way between the two cities,
there has been reported a cat with
wings.
Two hundred persons flocked to
see the freak on the Arthur King
ray ranch.
The animal, shaped like any 9TH
er cat, is dirty yellow color and
weighs about 25 pounds altho it
was rather gaunt from apparent
lack of food when captured by Mr..
Kingray, it is said.
On the cats back are four ap-
pendages of muscled flesh which
closely resemble wings. The ami
NAL has full control of the wings
and when it is in motion flaps the
wings similar to bird. Stretching
on the cats back between the
wings is what appears to be an
extra sheath of muscle. When the
anical stands erect with it's wings
outstretched, it measures one foot
across the back.
Mr.. Kingray captured the cat
Thursday afternoon about o'clock
when he investigated disturbance
in his chicken yard.
His dog was harassing the ami
NAL and bowled it over couple
Of times before Mr.. Gingray got
to the place. Mr.. Kingray had to
beat the cat into insensibility be-
fore he could subdue the animal,
which appeared vicious.
Mr.. Kingray took the cat to
Toppenish and exhibited it there
on Thursday night. Friday there
were 200 persons visited the ranch
to see the animal, Mrs. Kingray
said. Today Kingrays were charg-
ing to see the freak as they de-
clared sightseers bother them late
into the night for glimpse of the
cat.

whole population of the county
celebrate the birth Of the nation.
cts a real county affair."" said
"Mac" "and we expect you as
much as we want you. We count
on your being there and I have

YOUNG DRIVER
WRECKS AUTO
Leroy Wood Of Selah Flip
Flops with Car at
High Speed ~- @a

In justice court Tuesday eve-
ming Leroy Wood, 19, of Selah
plead guilty to a charge of reck-
less driving on the Highlands de-
tour and Judge Huntington not
only assessed costs against young
Wood but revoked his drivers Ii
cense for period of six months.
II. II. Hughitt of the Highlands
was the complaining witness in
the case, and the testimony Of
fered showed that Mr.. Hughiett's
four children were passengers in
the big Nash car that was turned
over and wrecked Saturday eve-
ming while Wood was at the wheel
and driving at high speed and in
a reckless manner.
In passing sentence Judge Hunt.
ington limited that he would deal
severely with reckless drivers in
the future, because he felt there
had been altogether too many ac-
cidnts recently that could have
been avoided by sane driving.
The Nash car was not owned by
young Wood but was reported to
belong to a Selah man who had
already had his license revoked on
a reckless driving charge. Wood
however, proved his ability to fill
the shoes of the owner.

The Benton county group of Is
club members and leaders took a
prominent part in Tic acti ities
of the. fifth annual club camp
which was held at the state college
last week.
Geneva Broughton and Marjorie
McGahey, both of Kennewick, on
several occasions gave a demon
stration Of making an adults gar
ment into a child's coat. They first
appeared before the group OF local
club leaders, giving this as an
ideal demonstration. Later the
same demonstration in somewhat
modified form was filmed for a
motion picture which was made at
club camp by the United States
Department of Agriculture. This
film will be released thruout the
United States and Benton county

DITCH TO RUN
ALL SUMMER
Will Chain Main Canal
for Weeds Instead of
Cutting Off

As usual, about 80 days after
turnout the canals of the irri-
cation system are Tightening up
again with weeds and moss, says
Manager Muldrow. The few days
of muddy water from the river,
following the Sunnyside cloudburst
in early June, was a great help
in lessening seepage, and an ex-
cellent head of water has been
carried throughout the recent hot
spell. However, very rapid weed
rise began about the 25th and
claiming has been carried on con-
tinually. 1t was necessary to cut
an inch at the headgate on July
1st.
1t has been decided that de-
termined effort will be made this
time to keep the main canal rum
ming, while clearing the laterals
by turning them dry alternately.
1t is not possible for anybody to
predict many days in advance,
how long it will be possible to
hold the water in by claiming and
weed cutting methods. For in
stance, lateral 2 opposite Hedges
was brim full last Wednesday but
short of water at the lower end.
1t was chained Wednesday, the
second time since the turnout, re-
ducing the water levels six inches.
By the following Tuesday it was
back to the old level, and had to
be hurriedly chained Tuesday af-
ternoon to keep it. from running
over. This half-day's work reduced
it some three inches, which will
hold it only about three days.
Meanwhile the stretch of main
lateral opposite Finley raised eight
inches in less than three days. Ii
was lowered Wednesday.
Upper lateral 2 had climbed SO
as to run the flume over below
town. That is being chained today.
The main canal has come up three
to six inches from the Sth to the
goth mile post. The two worst
stretches of this will be treated
Friday and Saturday.
The yorst is the uncertainty. We

well soon have a real showing
haze" Mr.. Nelson said. s'The speed
xith which the job was started
made it impossible to have all
equipment and machinery on the
mot in time to start with a full
force. Tomorrow we will have dirt
esrs here and sufficient narrow
esuee track laid to handle the dirt
and rock more speedily. Chief
Bowen has enough of the right-of-
wsy cross-sectioned, so that con-
struction work would not be held
up.
sHis work is progressing rapid
h and will soon be far ahead of
the crew. We expect to establish
: headquarters camp at Vantage
Ferry soon, and before long we
viii start a construction outfit
working this way from Kennewick,
terminus of the Wenatchee South
em. When construction reaches
tie point on the river below the
Great Northern terminal we will
we q steamboat to haul our sup
plies from Vantage Ferry. Our
working force will be increased
as fast as equipment arries. Blast
ing may start tomorrow. The con-
tact calls for a cost plus and the
cost Of construction is estimated at
NQoO,OO0, not including rail equip
ment, engineering costs, right-of-
way and other expenses"
When completed, the road will
be 131 miles long, extending from
Wenatchee to Kennewick. The coz
tract places the completion date
at June 80, 1928.
John Larson, Seattle, will be
construction foreman. He was
with Mr.. Nelson 35 years ago
when the Northern Pacific was
oult into Grays Harbor. Later the
TWO men were associated for three
years IN railroad building in Alas

Radio Permanent, Dependable Utility,
Says u S. Bureau of Standards Expeyt

Radio 10 now definitely estah.

The day OF rapid changes in IA
dio models. DR.. pellinger sRys. has
passed. Following the period o.
experimental development. durin-
which the market was flooded witt,
scores of "sets" of all degrees o.
receptiv;ty. the industry has nov
settled down to the production a.
a relatively few standard. high

substantially built. which may h.
expected to give as good results

rs they do when new.
There IL no longer any more
reason for waiting to buv a GOO

than there is in waiting to bny y

likely to affect appreciably the
comparative value of the standard

MANY farmers. the department

is the greater simpliica -. "a the

this is the new ore dial Set now

which the entire operation is con-
fined to the movement of Just one

the operator has to move. the less

chanically by the one dial is much
more exact than the setting of 8

TUCSON HARD HIT

TUCSON, Sept. 7.--(AP)-One bridge
washed away. second unfit for use
and another imperiled by high water
along with several main highways
made impossible by flooded washes,
marked the path of the heavy rain
storm in Tucson and vicinity early
Monday morning. It is reported here
that bridges over the Santa Cruz river
to the south of Tucson on the Nogales
highway are still intact, although flood
waters have found their way around
both ends of structures.
The Southern Pacific railway bridge
way at Cabalasas on the Nogales route
was swept out of line and rail travel
was discontinued today passengers be-
ing taken to and from Nogales by stage
in spite of water covered roads.
( The most serious damage in Pima
county centered about the Robles ranch
district on the road to Ajo, where the
highway was entirely swept away by
flood waters from the surrounding
mountains. The Tucson Phoenix high
way, main motor traffic artery in this
portion of the state, is still passable,
although covered with water in several
places and made dangerous by flood
swept washes.
