RIVER IS REcEDINe

1t is believed that the highwater
peak in the Columbia river for the
season has been reached. The Glow
has been receding for the past week
and the river is several inches lower
than it was ten days ago. There is
still lots of water but reports from
British Columbia and the western
slope of the Rockies indicate that
most of the snow has melted and that
many Of the tributaries to the Colum-
bia are falling. Due to cool weather
this snow melted more gradually
than was expected and while tre-
mendous amount Of water has gone
down the river the period lof the
runoff was longer than was antici-
pated. Had the runoff been conden-
sed into a, period of ten days or two
weeks instead of being stretched out
over month or more, much higher
water would have resulted. Accerd-
ing to the water gauge at the pump
ing plant at Allard, the peak this
year is over two feet under that of
1918, although the river this season
has been higher than for several years.
Lots Of drift wood came down this
year and it is estimated that there is
between 1000 and 1000 cords in large
and small RATS tied up along the
river banks from Priest Rapids to
Hanford. There is also lots of drift
along the banks Of the river and
those who have not yet secured
their winters fuel will haul most of
it home before fall.

LAST OF APPLES ROLL

The last of the apples stored in the
cold storage plant at White Bluffs were
shipped out this week. According to
figures compiled by Local Agent, r.
r. Woods. of the Milwaukee railroad,
there were 500 cars of fruit. vegetables
and hay, including the apples that have
been held in cold storage here, shipped
out of White Bluffs during the past
year. These car shipments were divid-
ed as follows: 372 cars of apples, 48
of alfalfa, 81 of potatoes, is of peaches,
rs OF pears, of onions and l3 mixed
cars. These shipments of course do
nat include the express or local freight
shipments, of which there was con-
siderable tonnage.
The cold storage plant gave very
satisfactory service in it's first year of
operation Even the apples loaded out
this week showed very lite decay. This
was somewhat remarkable because of
the unusual fall last year with the
September freeze. which did not add
anything to the keeping quality of the
apples.

ALL SET FOR THE Big GRANGE
FOURTH Of JULY CELEBRATION

Practically all of the details in the
plans for the Fourth of July cele-
bration have been completed. One Of
the big chores is the cleaning up of
the grounds under the big trees near
Grange hall. Some of this work has
already been done and it will all be
finished Saturday and Sunday, inclu-
ding the building of the various stands
and booths. The committee would
like to have as many as can turn out
to help in this work.
"A bali game between Mckee City
and Othello has been arranged. The
game will be played on the high
school grounds and will be called
promptly at 1870. This will be the
first time these two clubs have met
and the contest should be an inter-
esting one. Mckee is reported to
have strong team and Othello in
the past has always been able to give
a good account of itself.
The committee that has the dance
for the day in charge feels that the
floor space in Grange Hall will not
be large enough to take care of those

who will want to dance and they have
decided to build a bowery platform
so by so feet just north of the hall
L. L. Perry, local manager of the
Pacific Power & Light company has
charge Of lighting the grounds and
will string the wire and install light
fixtures wherever needed. This
work and service is given free.
The White Bluffs Band has the
soft drink and ice cream concession,
both on the grounds and at the ball
game at the high school.
One thing the committee is en-
phasizing is that every event on the
program will be started promptly on
schedule. The big parade, the COM
mittee says, will start from the Com
mercial hotel in town at 11:15 (and
that does not mean 1880 or even
l1:16) and that each event will start
just as promptly. The list of events
is rather long one and unless it is
carried out on schedule there will
not be time for all of the events.
The Program for the day follows

SHIP FOUR CARS OF
new SPUDS THIS week

Early potatoes from this valley
have been moving to market for sew
eral days. The quality and size
of the spuds are good but the yield
is not as large as expected, there be-
ing only few potatoes in each hill.
It is not known whether this is due
to the seed or the season but as the
seed came from several different
places and the small yield quite gen.
eral it is believed to be due to the
season. The price, however, is better
than usual and will probably range
between $40 and $50, the higher price
being for the earlier shipments.
Four cars were shipped from White
Bluffs and Hanford this week. Ira
S. Jones took three truck loads to
Wenatchee for S. v. Tanning.
One of the four cars shipped this
week was loaded by Paul Bruggemann
at Riverlands.

First Blue Goose
Is Hatched at Zoo;
Wins French Medal

The silver medal of the Societe d
Acclimation of France has been
awarded to the National Geological
Park for the hitherto unrecorded
Matching and rearing of the mys-
FERROUS blue goose.
The blue geese nest somewhere in
the interior of Baffin Land. So far
as is known nobody ever has seen
one of their nests, and there is
some dispute as to the location of
their Summer quarters. Previous,
efforts to breed them in captivity
have failed because the eggs would
not hatch.
The poultry keeper at the Zoo
solved this problem by placing
them under a setting hen and
sprinkling them with water every
time the foster mother left the
nest. In this way the shells were
softened so that the goslins could
peck their way out.

NAMED heirlooms for generations.
Fifty years ago Easter eggs were
made in porcelaine, ivory, mother of
pearl, bronze or silver. They were
put into golden trinlet cases as
COST gifts.
Custom of dyeing Easter eggs is
slowly passing after centuries of
use. The colored candy eggs are
rapidly making the hard-boiled type
extinct. Commoners Of past cen
turtles dyed eggs red as a symbol of
Christ's blood. Lords and ladies
covered them with gold leaf. Later
the decorations became more elabor-
ate. particularly in Continental Eu-
rope. They bore cupid bow-knots,
flaming hearts and signs of the zod-
lac. Again they were halved and
hinged, containing religious pictures
or portraits.
The frosted name has now re-
placed these decorations.
