TO OPERATE TO CAPACITY

During his visit here last week, Mar
win Chase, receiver for the Consumers
Ditch company and the Black Rock
Power &. Irrigation company, decided
to continue Two of the former employ
ees of the Companies in their old jobs,
E. B. Sanford and Sam Allard.... super
intendcnts, respectively, of the power
plant at Priest Rapids and the pumping
plant at Coyote. :
MIR. Chase said he had not as yet
perfected financing plan for this year
but was giving good deal of thought
to this question with the idea of issu-
ing as few receivers eticrficates as
possible.
Mr. Chase said he expected to be
back here about February Is, when the
weather was moderated, to go over
the irrigation system carefully to de-
termine just what improvements will
be necessary to put it in shape for the
seasons run.
While he had not yet, he said, de-
cided upon policy for furnishing
water this season, he was inclined at
this time to the idea of operating
the system to its capacity and dividing
the water proporticnally over the land
served, for flat maintenance charge.
From his present knowledge of the
properties, Mr.. Chase said he believed
this could be done for smaller main
tenance fee than has heretofore been
charged for that amount Of water.

RAILROAD TO Be BUILT

Information from a reliable source
has come to the Spokesman that the
building Of the Wenatchee Southern
railroad is not a rny.h but reality.
According to this information, both
links, the one from Wenatchee to Bev-
erly and the one from Hanford to
Kennewick, are to be built and are
covered in the one construction con-
tract.
Both links are to be completed and
ready for operation on July 1, 1928.
To do this, some construction will
probably have to be undertaken during
1927. As the Priest Rapids branch
of the Milwaukee from Beverly to
Eanford is to become a part of the
Wenathee Southern, some improve
ments will also have to be made in il
to put the roadbed in proper condition
to stand the heavier traffic.
The southern link will go from Han
ford through Richland to connection
with the o. X. & N. at a point few
miles northwest of Kennewick. The
O. r. &. N. is part of the Union
Pacific System. That road now has no
connections with Seattle and Puget

CARBON M0NOxIDE GAS
KILLS GEORGE SALOGINES

George Salogines, section foreman
on the Milwaukee at White Bluffs
met his death about nine o'clock Mon
day morning by inhaiing carbon mon
oxide gas generated from charcoal
burned in heater in refrigerator
car.
The car was standing on the siding
at the White Bluffs Warehouse, hav-
ing been loaded with apples the pre-
ceeding evening. These refrigerator
cars have compartment in each end
for ice during the warm weather and
heaters in the cold weather to main
tain an even temperature for the fruit.
Openings to these compartments arc
through trap doors on the top of the
cars. This particular car was ready
to roll on the morning train and Mr..
Salogines had gone to replenish the
fire before leaving for Hanford. When
he did not return in about Is minutes,
workman with him became anxious
and going into the car found him ly-
ing On the floor. He was Immediately
carried into the White Bluffs Ware
house and DR.. Hills was called, but
all efforts to resuscitate him failed.
Prosecuting Attorney George o.
Beardsley, who under the new law is
also coroner, was notified of the ac-
cident and with Sheriff James Shep-
herd drove over from Prosser, ar
irving here about noon. After getting
all of the information in connection
with the tragedy. Mr.. Beardsley de-
cided an inquest was not necessary.
Short funeral services were con-
Quoted at the residence by Rev. L. c.
Krug at one o'clock Wedm sday and
intcrnment was made in the White
Bluffs cemetery.
Mr.. Salogines had been a resident
of White Bluffs nine years. coming
here from Priest Rapids. He was
quiet, hard working and ambitious
and during the last two or three years
had been taking correspondence
course in order to equip himself for
position as an electrical engineer
He had progressed far enough in this
work to be able to wind motors and
do number of o.he1 difficult cleo
trical tasks. For some time he had
been stud'ng the constitution and our
fern of government in preparation for
max ng appicat1on to- citizenship.
His untimely end came a, shock ard
his widow has the sympathy of the
community.
GeN'ge Salogines was born in
Greece, December 20, 1896, and died
January "a, 1927, aged 81 years and
27 days. His chi dhood days were
spent in the parental home, where he
received his Christian training in the
Greek Orthodox church. At the age
of 18 he came to America and located
in the state OF Washington. He came
to White Bluffs about nine years ago
and has during that time been the

car feature demands. Up or down?
Booted or unbooted? Dressed or un-

questions concerning the top that are
proving a real puzzle to motorists
today.
AS a result of car owners lack of
knowledge on the subject, tops are
being unfairly treated. with the result
that they will not attain the longevity
for which they were designed. unless
motorists brush up on their knowl-
edge of how to care for them.
Morris Weeks, foreman of the paint
and trim department of the mainte.
nance division of the Washington:
Cadillac Co., offers the following points
in connection with the care of the top:
Never put down the top when it
is wet.
See that it is folded neatly and is
compactly incased in a perfectly fit
ting boot, or envelope.
Never leave the top down over a
long period. Raise it occasionally
and stretch it back into its proper
shape.
Various dressings are available and
should be used to freshen and pre-
serve tops made of leather substi
tutes.
Mohair tops require special and
regular attention. Grease and oil
spots can be removed by a sponge
and soapsuds solution.
Some kinds of. artificial leather
may be cleaned with water-and-am
monia solution. Apply it with a soft
brush.

That the automobile is adding con-
siderabfy to the value of property
considered heretofore more or less

count by the New York State Tax
Department and in the future those
persons owning property in the Sc

il expected that If 1t is carried out to
its fullest extent the income not only

and towns will be increased greatly
At the same time the farm property

be relieved of some of its present tax

the application of this single research
will mean immense savings annually
in road construction.

Several days in bed was the price
a motor car salesman of Salina,

full of gasoline.
Arranging a syphon tube, he

gas went down his throat and he
became very sick. On his arrival
at home he went to bed, where he
was forced to stay several days.
