DITCH CUT OFF

There will be no turnout of the
main Columbia canal until about
the first of July, according to pres
ent indications. The late season,
cool and muddy water have COM
bined to hold back weed growth
on the main canal, says w. C. Null
drow. Claiming and scythe work
have been necessary on the small
er laterals, and it was necessary
to dry up the lower end of lateral
2 to remove an accumulation of
heavy sand that blew in during the
heavy wind storms. This was done
Wednesday,.
1t is highly desirable to hold off
the turnout until the latest pos
sible date, to ease the long pull of
holding out during July and Aug
ust without another turnout. II
is not possible at this time to sci
an exact date, but present indica-
tions are that full deliveries car
be kept up until about July 1st
without excessive work

BOY BROWNS
IN BIG DITCH
Four-Y ear Old Falls in
Canal Sunday - Lung
Motor Fails

Herbert Eugene Higley, four
year old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Glen
Higley of Kennewick, was drown
ed in the Columbia Irrigation dis
trict canal about $3.50 Sunday af-
ternoon, June IL. Herbert, who was
fully dressed, and a small friend
of his were playing on a spring
board near the tennis court when,
presumably, he fell into the water.
The body was recovered forty-five
minutes later one-half mile down
the ditch at the high school bridge.
All efforts at restoratiop failed.
Herbert had been accustomed
to playing along the ditch bank
with other children. His parents
felt no concern about him until
his playmate came running to the
house of a neighbor and announc-
ed that Herbert had fallen into the
ditch and had not reappeared. Aid
was quickly summoned. 1t was diff
ficult for the searchers to tell just
how far he would be down stream
as they did not know exactly how
long it had been since he fell In.
A tennis net was stretched across
the canal at the high school check
while several men in bathing suits
began a search of the ditch lower
down. In about ten minutes after
the net was in place the body was
caught and brought ashore.
For an hour every effort was
made to remove the water from
the child's lungs and start respira-
tion. A pulmotor was summoned
from the Pasco fire department,
but all without avail, the heart
did not respond with single flut-
ter. Physicians thot that sediment
in the ditch made it impossible to
restore breathing.
Funeral services were held. Tues
day at the Christian church, form
er pastor E. /. Mitchell, in charge.
The body was later placed In its
final resting place in the local GEM
etery.

MEN OF EAST
: COME TO SEE
20 Farmers from Middle
q States Here to Look
for New Homes

The Commercial club will en-
tertain a party of homeseekers
Saturday morning, with a break
fast and a trip over our project,
ending with transportation to
Prosser, where they will entrain
for Yakima and Ellensburg.
The party consists of twenty men
from the middle states, farmers
who are seeking new homes. These
men have been interested in the
west by immigration agents Of the
Northern Pacific. Each of the men
is leader and prominent in his
home community, and the oppor-
tunity of showing them what can
be accomplished in the Yakima
valley should prove highly profit
able, in the opinion of railroad
officials and members of the club.
The party will arrive early Sat-
urday morning. They will be
guests of the Kennewick club at
breakfast, at which will be feat
ured KennewiclTs most famous
crops, strawberries, asparagus and
big, ripe Bing cherries. Following
breakfast cars will take the visit
ors thru the valley and over the
Highlands and on to Prosser, ar
irving there in time for lunch.
These junketing trips have prov
en- highly successful in the past,
according to N. P. officials and
have resulted in the movement of
hundreds of families to the com
munities that appealed to the east
erners. The local hosts are conf
dent that our valleys lack of cy-
clones, tornadoes, thunder storms
and severe winters viii appeal to
the visitors and that the valley
will ultimately become the home
of many of them.

WE'LL GET GAS
WHEN PIPES IN
Mrs. James Says w. w.
Gas & Oil Co. in Fine
Shape Action Soon

&
Affairs of the Walla Walla Gas,
Oil & Pipe Line Co. were never
in better shape than right now,
according to Mrs. H. D. James,
vice-president and treasurer of the
company. Mrs. James is in Kenne-
wick today and attended the an
nual stockholders meeting, which
was held at the Kennewick Hotel
this afternoon.
Since the death of Mr.. James
a few months ago, Mrs. James has
assumed the general management
of the affairs of the company. The
big hole now being drilled has been
put down entirely under her direc-
tion and management and progress
has been emminently satisfactory
'k At the meeting today the pre-
vious board of directors was re-
elected and plans outlined for the
coming year. In her report, Mrs.
James told of two big eastern OUT
fits who were negotiating for the
gas and it's distribution. 1t is thot
quite likely that a company COM
posed of local men, possibly the
heavier stockholders in the Whlla
Walla company, would be formed
to take over the gas distribution.
Mrs. James pointed out in her
report, that with the sale of only
ten million cubic feet of gas per
day, at but ten cents per thous-
and, that a dividend on the Walla
Walla stock would be better than
fifty per cent on the par value
per year. She stated also, that
Kennewick and Pasco would be
enabled to secure the service,
whether the route included either
or both Yakima and Walla Walla.
Mrs. James and other officials
of the company made an inspec-
tion of the work at the fields fol-
lowing the meeting. A vote of
confidence and appreciation was
given the officers by their unani-
NOUS reelection.

ASK EARLIER DATE
TO OPEN PAVEMENT
High Water About to Cover De-
tour to Bridge - No
Danger to New Road

A committee from the CONNER
cial club was appointed today to
see if the new pavement to the
bridge could be opened before the
usual time for cement paving to
cure. This action was taken on ac-
count of the detour road being
flooded by the rising of the CO.
lumbia.
The detour to the bridge is now
protected by sand bag levee and
is holding out about a foot of
water. Seepage, however, is MAX
ing the temporary road more dam
gerous each day. The committee
has taken the matter up with the
state highway department with
the hope that light traffic at
least, will be allowed to use the
new pavement If the detour be-
comes impossible.
If no other possibility is OPEN
ed, perhaps a new detour can be
secure along the side of the new
pavement.
The water in the Columbia is
rising about four inches a day at
this point, altho at Wenatchee
a report states that it becomes a
foot deeper there each day. The
peak of the high water is not ex-
pected until the end of the month,
altho it may come sooner if the
present warm weather continues.

LIVESTOCK is
ADDED TO FAIR
New Premium List Being
Prepared - Associa-
ton Elects Officers

A greatly increased livestocla di-
vision a pet stock division and
much more complete list in the
vegetable section will mark the
fairs activities this year. Last
year the livestock section was o.
mitted from the premium list,
while in 1925 the premium list con-
tained premiums amounting to
more than all other sections COM
bined in 1927. The exhibit In 1925
was not as good as had been antic-
ipated, which fact, taken with the
hoof and mouth quarantine Of last
year, caused the fair association
to omit the exhibit last year.
A revival Of interest in live
stock, especially in dairying, has
led the fair committee to again
add this department. The manage
ment of the livestock division will
again be under the direction of j.
Calvin Rorick of the lower valley.
Details of his department will be
reported at the next meeting of the
association next Tuesday night.
At this weeks meeting heads of
the various departments were Sc
lected as follows: horticulture,
Dale Smith; livestock, j. C. Ror-
ick; poultry, Raymond Schneider;
pet stock, j. p. Martin; the home
economics department. will be un-
der the management of the Wom-
ans club; fine arts, Mrs. J.. ].
Aldrich; antiques and curios, under
the direction of the OAR; needle
work, Mrs. L. M. Keene; queen
contest, w. c. Muldrow; club work
Miss Gage; novelties, American
Legion; publicity, Robt. Mackie.
The queen contest will be ham
died little differently this year.
The various communities will be
asked to elect princesses and the
princess receiving the highest
number of votes will be declared
the queen of the fair. Besides the
usual honors conferred uoon the
queen, she and her various prin-
eesses will be guests of honor at
a banquet, and various other af-
fairs will be arranged as a reward.
The entertainment features of
the fair this year will likely take
on different aspect than that of
previous years. Stunts of various
kinds in which the local people
can indulge in, as well as contests
have been spoken of, rather than
the importation of a. carnival
troupe as was held last year.

Finley, Team Coming to
Show up the Kenne-
wick Ball Tossers

The Kennewick strawberry
'Pickers" will take on the "Sand
Rats" of Finley Sunday afternoon
in the first big baseball game of
the season. The game promises to
be a head-on collision, stiffly con-
tested, battle that will make his
tory.
Kennewick's team was selected
from an all-star cast and includes
players of renown such as Evett,
johnson, Woods, all local pastim-
ers, and Andy Anderson and Fritz
Johnson, players of big-league tai
ent from Richland. The Finley
team is a polished and ferocious
aggregation which has been more

CITY'S BONDS
Money for New City Hall
Available from State
Funds at 5 percent

* y = p " 8 = . Z
The state of Washington will
buy the city of Kennewiclz's $1O,-
600 bond issue. Bids were opened
at the council meeting Tuesday
evening, the state making what
was considered the highest and
most satisfactory bid, to take the
bonds at par bearing five per cent
interest. There are several details
connected with the bond issue yet
to be completed, however, and the
sale will perhaps not be completed
for several weeks.
AT the meeting this week Coun-
Gilman Muldrow suggested that a
few of the holes in the pavement
about town ought to be fixed and
suggested a cold-patch compound
that was inexpensive and effect
i've. The council agreed with Mr..
Muldrow that the streets could be
improved. He was instructed to
bring details of his plans of re-
pairing them to the next meeting.
The need Of this community for
a "lung motor, a machine for
starting artificial respiration in
persons overcome by smoke, knock
ed out by electricity or strangled,
was stressed. The council was
unanimous in it's opinion that such
a machine ought to be purchased
and kept on hand.
After other minor business,
which included buying awnings for
the library and city hall, the meet
ing adjourned.

While Bill Muldrow, Elmer Hin

consists of q wooden machine to

When the three men saw the

A new strawberry, prolific,
sturdy and producing fruit that

by the father of Horace Wray.
For years the elder Wray has
been experimenting with berries
to produce a plant which retained
the very favorable qualities of the
Clark and none of its drawbacks.
In the new variety, as yet un-
named, he thinks he has discovered
his ideal.
Mr.. Wray brought one of the
plants up town yesterday for exhi-
bitien. The, plant bore berries e

same rate, Mr.. Wray figured an
acre would produce 400 crates,

NEW SIGNS

When the new pavement is OBJ
ened it will lead thru the edge
of town, and merchants are fear
full lest most of the tourists will
fail to discover what a nice little
community this actually is. So a
big sign is being erected near the
tourist park directing tourists to
the center of town.
The matter was taken before
the Commercial club today and It
was thought advisable to support
the plan to erect this sign as well
as another at the western inter
section of the concrete pavement.
The matter was referred to the f.
nance committee for further ac-
tion.
