SPRINGS UNDERMINE BLUFFS

Undermined, apparently, by springs
that come to the surface high up on
the banks, great quantities of clay
and earth on the white bluffs border
ing. the Columbia river on the East,
! a short distance below the M M.
Wiehl place, have broken off and
slid into the river this summer. There
have been several of these slides
during the past few weeks and each
one. is accompanied by o heavy sroar
that can be heard considerable dis
tance as the clay loses it's hold near
the top and plt:rges down the steep
bank into the river, leaving in its
trail thick fog of dust. 1t Is es-
tirnated that hundreds of tons of clay
have moved in the river during the
slides this summer.
The presence of the springs SO
near the top of the bluffs as well
as on Saddle mountain to the north,
geologists say, is pretty good evidence
that this whole valley is underlaid
with artesian water And our con-

is that all that is needed now is
to find man or group of men with

MORE GOOD PICTURES COMING

In addition to Lies Miserables,

other super pictures to be shown in

shown in Hanford on August is and
Write Bluffs the following evening,
and the other, Phantom of the

tember IL and at Hanford the pre-

To advertise these two shows as
well as the others on the regular
nights, Mr.. Anderson this week dis
tributed little fans which are not
only attractive but were much appre-
ciated during the hot weather.
While he did not have "Tons Of
Ice to Keep You Cool", Mr.. Ander-
son did work out a plan to keep
Liberty hall cool that was as simple
as it was effective. 1t consisted
in placing two large chunks of ice
near the biz suction fan, one piece
of ice behind and the other in front,
and the hall was soon filled with nice
cool air.

R0DE0 WELL ADVERTISED

The rodeo advertised to be given
in White Bluffs next Sunday by the
Indians is apparently attracting much
interest in outside points, as witness
the following news item published un-
der a White Bluffs date line in last
Sundays Yakima Herald.
"Plans for an old-time western
rodeo, open to all comers, to be held
here on July 29 under the auspices
of the two Indian camps in this dis
trict, were announced Friday by
leaders of the community.
"The program will open at 1890
o'clock in the afternoon with a
grand parade of costumed Indian
riders and cowboys and cowgirls.
The line of march is to be through
the business district of the town and
out to the rodeo field.
"The contests will begin at
o'clock. There is going to be all
kinds of pony and horse novelty races
as well as bucking, bareback riding
and colt roping contests. The wild
horses to be used in the show will
be driven in from the hills this week
by the Indians. a3
prizes for the leading i contests
are: bucking contest, SIS for first,
$40 for second and S. for third place;

who are judged the most proficient"

WAREHOUSE IMPROVEMENTS
TO SPEED UP PACKING

4 When the packing crews gather al
the two warehouses in White Bluffs
this fall for the seasons run they
are going to find everything changed.
The Horticultural Exchange has
discarded the old Price sorting mach
inc that has been in operation there
since the warehouse was built and
which threw the apples into the air,
the weight of the apple determining
into which bin it should fall. In
its place has been installed a belt
sorting machine. The washing
machine, in operation there last year,
has been removed and the Brogdex
process for the removal of the spray
residue from the apples, will be
installed.
The Brogdex is a new system in
this valley. The apples first pass
through soda solution into a tank
of clean water, which is supposed to
remove all of the arsenate of lead
spry and from there the fruit goes
into another patented solution that
it is claimed will restore to the
apples whatever of the natural wax
WdS 1OSI Ill TIC SO0o ooAueAOAA -
is claimed that this latter solution
prevents early decay and adds to the
keeping qualities of the apples.
At the White Bluffs warehouse the
sorting machine has been moved
from the ground floor. where it has
been in operation fer years, to the
room above, where a new floor has
just been laid and other improvements
made for the sorting and packing OF
the apples.
A new floor is to be put down in
the room where the packing has been
done heretofore and this room will be
used for the apples in lug 8 waiting
to be packed and, later in the season,
for the storage of packed fruit, The
room has also been insulated recently
and through pipes connecting it with
cold storage. will be kept much cooler
than is possible in. ordinary ware
houses.
The ceiling in the room that has
been used in the r,ast in which to store
orchard supplies has been lowered and,
in the DOM above, new washing ina
chine is to be installed.
The new improvements in both
houses are expected to speed up the
packing of the fruit and were made
in the interests of efficiency and
economy.

RESIDENTS APPROVE PLAN
TO ACQUIRE fire ENGINE

Due no doubt to the unusually
warm day the crowd that was out
at the band concert Monday night
was not quite so large as at the
two former concerts but what they
lacked in numbers they surely made
up in heart applause for each of
the numbers played by the band.
During an intermission L. L. Perry,
president of the Commercial Club,
explained the proposition that has
been made White Bluffs in the pur-
chase of chemical fire engine.
This engine, Mr.. Perry said, is mount
ed on an Oldsmobile truck and both
the truck and chemical engine are in
first class condition. The reason that
it is being offered for sale is that
the town that owns it has recently
purchased larger fire fighting equip
ment.
White Bluffs has no fire protection
whatever at present and the matter Of
acquiring something for this purpose
has been discussed for some time.
Statistics show that eighty per cent
of the fires that are put out in
the United States are extinguished
with chemicals and in this connection
a recent experience Of F. "A. Eng
lish might be cited. While in Spokane
the latter part of last week Mr.. Eng
ish said he saw ia fire there of
rather large possibilities extinguished
by chemical engine. In fact this
was the only part Of Spokane fire
equipment that responded to the call.
In interviewing the crowd after
Mr.. Perry had explained the PROPOSE
ton, the sentiment seemed almost
unanimous that the chemical engine
should be purchased, provided, of
course, that it could be had at a
price the residents here could afford
to pay.
In the event satisfactory price
can be agreed upon, the business
houses and residents in town would
be expected to furnish most of the
purchase price bat it is believed that
owners of farms might also be willing
to pay lite something for the pro-
lection the presence Of the chemical
engine here might give them. Every
rancher interviewed at the concert
said he would be willing to pay
something. ~
A committee composed of F. A.
English, Fred Gilhuly and D. S.
Wilkinson has been appointed by the
Commercial Club to look into the
matter Of acquiring the chemical
engine and this committee is .ex-
pected to present some plan in the
near future as well as method of
financing the purchase.

SHIP 81 CARS EARLY sPuDs

A total of 81, cars of early spuds
have been shipped, to date, from the
Priest Rapids valley this season.
These shipments are divided as fol-
lows: six cars from Hanford, eight
from White Bluffs and seventeen
from Riverlands, the latter including
the loadings from Cold Creek.
Some of the early cars are said to
have been outright sales but all
of the later cars have been going
out on consignment. The price has
not been very satisfactory but will
probably be sufficient to return a
little profit to the grower. All Of
the cars were shipped to points on
the Coast.

GOSH, BUT IT'S HOT!

Sizzling in company with nearly
every other place in the northwest,
White Bluffs passed this week through
one of the hottest periods in it's his
tory. The government thermometer
at Wailluke registered the following
high marks for the first four days OF
the week: Sunday ITO; Monday Ill;
Tuesday 118 and Wednesday ia.
Hot weather records all over the
state were broken and new high marks
established. Nearly everybody suffer
ed from the heat but the-e were no
casualties, every one accepting the
situation philosophically, hunting out
cool places and trying to be as COM
Portable as possible, the Columbia ri
yer being a favorite resort.
Some damage is reported from ap-
Piles scaldipg on the trees but 1t is
believed that this loss will not be
large.
