that he didn't want in the first

RACES HELP TO SELL
FLYING TO THE PUBLIC

l.. A. Codding, w. S. Angle, Fred
Gilhuly, D. S. Wilkinson and w. j
Kincaid, the five men who drove frcn,
White Bluffs to Spokane the latter
part of last week to take in the Nation
al Air Derby, returned home Saturday
night much impressed by the exhibi-
ton. Planes of all styles and makes
were there, including the Royal Wind
sor, the Canadian ship that was max
ing preparations for hop across the
Atlantic when plans of the flyers were
changed by the tragic fate OF Old
Glory. Stunts and maneuyers of every
kind and description known to flying
were on the Spokane Air Derby pro-
gram and they were all executed with
out an accident or the semb'ance ct
one. Speed exceeding zoo miles an hour
was reached in some of the races and
these races. with the parachute jump
ers and stunt flyers, kept the crowd
highly entertained. The airplanes have
come to stay and in the not too distant
future will occupy much mere inn
portant place in travelling and trans
nertation, is the belief of the White
Bluffs men who attended the Derby
One Of them likened the Spokane
how t. the automobile races staged
Is a. 20 wears ago when the "gas bug
ries" wore making their E-st appeal
for popular approval.

Four airplanes, later proved to be a
class planes flying in the race from
Spokane to Portland, passed over
White Bluffs Tuesday afternoon: They
were flying very low and travelling a,
a dizzy speed. One of the ships passed
directly over the town and its altitude
could not have been over 200 feet ano
some believe it was flying even ioweC.
The crowd of visitors in Pasco
Tuesday, gathered to watch the tenn
no-ary stop and take-off Of the b class
nlanes in the Air Derby race from
Snokane to Portland, were disappoint-
ed. for the planes never showed up
there and alto: waiting until about
o'clock in afternoon the crowd was
told that the race for some unexplain-

HONOR REV. KRuo

About 70 members and friends
gathered at St. Paups Evangelical
! lutheran Church last Thursday
evening to celebrate the fifteenth
anniversary Of Rev. L. G. Krug's
pastorate here and the organization
of this congregation.
At 7 o'clock in the evening one
of the elders of St. PauPs called
| for Rey. Krug inviting him to the
Gruenhagen home, but as they
neared the church and saw it was
brilliantly lighted they stopped to
see what was going en-. AS Rev.
Krug stepped from the car ne was
greeted by the other two elders
and ushered into the church, which
he saw, to his surprise, was filled
with neighbors and friends. His
next big surprise was when Rev.
r. Fenske of FIlensburg greeted
him.
Rev. Fenske delivered a brief
but very appropriate sermon which
everyone present enjoyed and then
all were invited to the assembly
room, where dinner had been
prepared by the ladies of the con
gregation.
Here three table had been laid
for the guests, the one in the CEN
tre, for the honor guests, being es-
pecially beautiful in its appoint
ments. A color scheme Of aven-
der and white was carried out most
effectively. The ceiling was gaily
festooned with these colors and
over the guest table the festoons
appeared to hold a large basket
loaded with beautiful lavender and
white asters. TIE same flower,
with ferns, was used in favors on
the table, which was lighted by
white candles. Over the other two
tables glowed lights softened by
lavender shades
Inside the church, the decora-
tions were vases of beautiful dah-
lias. placed upon the altar.
During dinner Miss Ethel Smith
sang The Lord Is My Shepherd. "
Mrs. Heideman and Mrs. Gruenha-
gen sang two beautiful songs in the
German language. Rev. Fenske,
who was toastmaster, congratulated
the congregation uponhaving Rev.
Krug for a pastor. Rev. Fenske
also spoke of the help that Mrs.
Krug had been to her husband and
family, and to this mission.
The affair was q very pleasant
one that all who were present will
remember in years to come. 1t
came as a complete surprise to Rev.
Krug and his family.
Out-of- town guests we're Mr. and
Mrs. Arthur Glasgow, Mr.. and Mrs.
Fred Winslaff and Mrs. Bertha
Semsen, all of Kennewick.
At late hour the guests depart
ed for their respective homes.
wishing Rev. and Mrs Krug God
blessing on their work here.
R. W. Gruenhagen was also an
honor guest of the evening, since
he has served as an elder in St.
Paups for the past Is years.

VALLEY LOSES A FRIEND

C. O.. Bradshaw for the past two
years or more General Manager of
the western division of the Milwaukee
railroad, has resigned his position and
moved this week from Seattle to New
York, where he has accepted better
position with one of the big eastern
railroads. He has had this position
under consideration for the past six
months and his resignation, to take
effect October !, has been in the hands
Of Milwaukee officials for some time.
While Mr.. Bradshaw's friends will re-
jcice in his securing the better position,
his leaving will be real loss to this
district for he was one cf the best
friends the Priest Rapids Valley had
in the official family of the Milwaukee
road. He still has extensive land
holdings here and says he will still
be booster for this valley altho far
removed from it.

song is somewhat like that Of war

It attracts attention from consid-
cradle distance and causes zone to

The writer might properly he ac-

That may be chiefly because he has
never lived by pond or lake where
such birds might be seen commonly
and therefore has not become inter-

them. Wilson's snipc, which prob
ably is the one most commonly called
"snipe" was noted mt Argusvillc April

N. ID. Bird Notes

Early May often is cold and un.
comfortable, but it brings quite /
few birds. 1t is MS If they realize
that better weather is to be expected
anyaday apd that they must push ON
ward or they will be late In reaching
their summer homes. The warbler
migration is one Of thes prime pa
events Of the year for the bird stu
dent, and this is to be expected about
the middle Of May in our region
A dozen species Of these small bright.
colored birds mayi;be, seen during q
few days, perhapsf1n single day
and sometimes SEVERAL kinds in one
flock.
The myrtle warblers, which win.
ter in the southern United States
begin to arrive in late April and
become common the first week Of
May. The other species are travellers
from the tropics, from Central Amer.
lea and northern South America, and
make briefer stop with US. One OF
the earliest Of them is the black and
white warbler which is easily rccog-
nized by the black and white stripes
which cover it's back. 1t is commonly
seen on the tree trunks exploring
the bark for insects hiding in the
cracks.
Birds Brought Closer
The wet weather Is discOuraging to
walks afield but it makes up for this
in part by bringing some Of thu
birds closer to us. Various species oil
sandpipers have been frequent about
the pools in the yards and gardens
If one cannot get out he can observe
many birds from his window. On
May 9th, the writer saw in his bach
yard the following: black ane
white warbler on the trunk Of an
elm tree, >appcaring several Times
during the day; an oven bird on the
ground among the dandelions and or
the grass under the window, the
bright orange stripe on its crown
plainly visible; several water thrush
es exploring the edges Of the pools;
several true thrushes, most likely
gray checked, though one may have
been a willow, and the olive-backed
IA very similar; flycatcher Of some
kind perched upon low branches OF
stleks; Lincoln and whlte-thrOated
sparrows scratching among the leav-
es, and the usual robins, grackles
and English sparrows. White crown
ed sparrows were heard singing but
were not seen with the others though
they were common at other places

BOSTON WILL
GET WOOL FROM
NORTH DAKOTA
Association to. Have State
Wool Wareh0used, Graded
in Eastern City

WarehOusing and grading of the
state wool pool by the national wool
exchange at Boston is being inaug-
urated this year by the North Da-
k0ta Wool Growers association with
the belief that net returns to grow
ers will be larger than those secured
through doing this work 1T Fargo,
according to George p. Wolf Of Col
fax, president Of the state organiza-
tion.
Under the new plan carload lots
will be assembled at points from
which heavy shipments are usually
made, and these carload lots will be
shipped directly to Boston. Suggest
ed concentration points include Al
mont, Bisbee, Bismarck, Cando, Cole
harbor, Drayton, Esmond, Harvey,
jamestown, Lakota, Larimore, Cakes,
Petersburg. Valley City, Wstford
City and Wyndmere. Less than car
load lots will be shipped to Fargo to
be assembled into carloads for ship
ment under the direction Of A. C.
Bjerken, secretary-treasurer Of the
organization.
Grading Done 1t Boston
The new plan will eliminate ware
housing, insurance and labor costs at
Fargo, and the grading will be done
after the wool arrives at Boston.
with the name of the consignor and
the weight; and payments will be
made on the same basis as in the
past, according to the grade and
quality Of each fleece.
through the national pool is 2 "a
cents per pound, which Is about the
same amount as the cost Of handling
the state pool at Fargo last year.
"1hfs new plan will have several
distinct advantages over the former
practice Of assembling, grading and
warehousing at Fargo" is Mr.. VOLTS
Comment. Returns to growers will
be made much more rapidly. They
will get One-half Of their money the
day they load the wool. The remain
der will be RENTED as soon as the
wool is sold at Boston. Due to the
practice of the wool manufacturers
Of buying small lots from day to
day, thee wool will be sold more
quickly when it is handled In this
way than: was the case when the
whole North Dakota pool was placed
on the market at Boston at the same
time, Also, q slightly better aver
age price should result.
Saving in Freight
"Some saving will be made in
freight through the direct shipment
to Boston Of carload lots from con-
rentra&ion points in North Dakota.
It is probable that the grading can
be done at smaller cost at Boston
than at Fargo" ~.
