LOCAL CLUB LOSES
ELEVEN INNING GAME

1t took eleven innings to decide the
ball game between Hanford and
White Bluffs last Sunday. White
Bluffs PUT over four runs in the first
two innings and Hanford tied the
count couple of innings later. The
tie remained unbroken through the
succeeding innings until the first half
of the eleventh when Hanford scored
three tines. White Bluffs threatened
in its half of the inning but lacked
the punch to score. Adolph Swanson
had injured his pitching arm a day or
two previous to the game and the
aim was sore all through the game
This kampered his effectiveness, MS
total strikeouts being only five while
sRoss for Hanford turned back II Of
the 33 White Bluffs batters to face
him.
The local club still presents youth
full lineup, only four of last years
regulars being in the squad last Sun
day. All of the youngsters are doing
fine but the club would be wonderfully
strengthened with the addition of two
or three older heads,

BREWERY REFORMS

The old Rainier Brewery at George
town, near Seattle, has been leased to
a concern known as the Washington
Gamers, Inc, backed by the Micheal
Earles estate and is under promo
ton Of F. L. Wright. This firm ex-
poets to do an extensive cannery bust
ness and has expressed a desire to
procure large quantity of tomatoes
and other vegetables from the Priest
Rapids Valley together with apricots,
pears and certain varieties of apples
for canning. Negotiations are under
way with the Milwaukee raildroad at
this time, looking to the establishment
of suitable freight rate for this class
Of business and it is expected that the
cannery in the near future will make
known to the growers in this valley
about how much tonnage of the vari-
Gus varities of vegetables and fruits
it will want from this district.

MRS. RODGERS COMING

Mrs. Rodgers of Kennewick will be
at the Luhmann store building Mon
day and Tuesday, April 1e and 20
displaying the latest styles of ladies'
and childrens garments and millinery
This gives the people of White Bluffs
an opcrtunity to buy the very latest
thing in ladies' wearing apparel and
Judging from the merchandise that
Mrs. Rodgers has displayed on FORM
er visits, her styles will be up to the
minute. Her ad appears on another
page of the Spokesman and gives a
partial list OF the merchandise she
will display.
Mrs. Rodgers will bring specialist
fSom her beauty parlor who will cut
and trim hair and do rnarcelling dur
ing the two days she is here. Be-
cause of the number who will doubt
less avail themselves of this opportun-
ity, schedule is being made up and
any lady who desires an appointment
can have an hour set aside for her
by phoning the Spokesman.
Mr.. anr Mrs. Arthur Bishop oi
Raymond came over last Saturday
from Yakima, where they had been
called by the serious illness OF Mrs
George Harrington, and are making
short visit at the H. v. Martin
home. They were accompanied by
Ray Powers, a half brother of Mr.
Bishop and Mrs. Harrington, whose
home is now in Canada.

Low STAGE OF RIVER
WORRIES IRRIGATIONISTS

Those who have pumping plants
along the Columbia River are finding
it necessary in great many cases
to lower their wells or intakes or in
stall auxiliary pumps. The level OF
the water in the river is lower than
at any time since development Started
in this valley, being only about foot
higher than the lowest point last win
ter. But what is probably of more con-
Germ is the possibility that this condi-
ton will continue all season, for there
is very little snow in the watersheds
of the Counmbia this year. Places
in the mountains near the Canadian
border that ordinarily have a snow
fall of between 10 and 20 feet have
had barely a foot this year. This
would seem to indicate that there will
be no high water this season and that
the river will be as low at the close
of the irrigation season as it is now.

GARDEN CHAT

u never really felt at home in
White Bluffs" said Mrs. r. B. Nc
Murry to the Spokesman this week,
until l started in to plant few flowers.
Flowers are such friends-every time
I feel little blue or discouraged, the
garden is my refuge" Mrs. Nc
Murry says she plants her flowers
to beautify her home, to give plea
sure to those who pass by and most
especially to please the children, who
love the bright colors; and that as
her plants multiply she divides and
shares them, not only with those
who ask for them but those whom
she thinks needs them real flower
missionary. Every one who trans
acts business at the McMurry ranch

full of roots or bulbs or at the very
ic,s. bouquet of blossoms.

A NEW SETTLER

Theodore A. Spratlen, recently of
Omaha, Nebraska, and a brother of
Lee w. Spratlen, assistant to H. E.
Byram, president of the Chicago, Mil
waukee & St. Paul railroad, has pur-
shased from F. ]. Bonn the ten acre
orchard tract north of town, known
as the Carmichael place, and intends
to make this valley his future home.
Mr.. Spratlen expects to begin at once
the constitution of modern bunga-
low on the place and upon its compile
ton to send for his wife and become
a full-f1edged orchardist. His move
to the Priest Rapids Valley is another
indication Of the faith of the Milwau-
kee officials in this district and their
avowed intentions to help bring about
its proper recognition.
