Safe Makers, Yeggs
Fight Endless War

London, Nov. 22.- -R-R Recent
scientific safe-robberies here have
called attention to the unrelenting
battle being waged between safe
maker and safe-blower.
Modern methods Of burglary en-
phasize the progress in safe-making
since 1896, when iron-bound treas
ure chests began to be abandoned
and the modern safe began to evolve.
With each advance in safety
devices, the yeggmen have developed
new means Of neutraliSing them. A1ai
have used engineering and chemistry
as aids.
AS soon as safe-crackers have
solved the new obstacles to their
success, the manufacturers employ
others. 1t is q ceaseless battle.

A MOTHER SENDS HER BOY TO JAIL

an 18-year-old boy arrested for robbery, should
escape from Jail and home to his mother, you
would hardly blame the mother if she should help him
make his escape good It would be easy to understand
how her love could overbalance her knowledge that
really ought to pay for his crime
But Illinois youth Of that age, jailed in Kentucky
for robbery, escaped and went home-and his mother
sent him back to jail He reappeared at the Jail day
or later, saying his mother had told him to return
and "take his medicine" and lead better life there
after.
That young mans mother evidently was lady Of
considerable strength Of character She refused to
give way to unwse emotionalism when she could have
boon easily excused for doing 30.

UNION OIL COMPANY TO

A new business of considerable
Importance to the valley is about
to make it's debut in White Bluffs.
The Union Oil company of California,
one of the four or five big distribu-
tors in the country, has purchased
plot of four and half acres along
the railroad just south of the road
leading from the Nitzsche place past
the high school and, according to
information given the Spokesman, will
install its big storage tanks within the
next few months. Asum of $4,000 has
been set aside by the Union COM
pany for it's plant in White Bluffs and
1t expects to have the plant installed
and ready for business before spring.
The railroad has been busy this
week building a spur track from its
main line to the property and as
soon as it is completed it is expected
that the first of the equipment for
the plant will begin arriving.
Tie only other distributor in the
valley now is the Standard Oil COM
pany at Hanford, who's plant was
established several years ago.

FAST AND sNAPPY

It was only a practise basketball
game, that one played at the. high
school last Friday evening between
the high school team and the town
team, but the few who saw it surely
got their moneys worth. Outweighed
man for man by several pounds the
high school boys made up in speed
Whit they lacked in beef and it, was
ding dong battle right up to the
fr;sh. So fast was the play and SO
well were the baskets guarded that
the fret quarter ended with the score
% to O. The high school stepped out
and took the lead in the second
quarter but at no time in the game
did they have a margin of over four
points. Both teames fought hard in
the last quarter, the high school to
hold their slender lead of one point
and the town team to wipe it out.
With 80 seconds to go Jay Mont
gomery Gagged a circus shot and the
game ended with the score 10 to g
in favor of the town team. The high
school team including substitutes were
Bud Heath, Gilbert Walker, Dudley
Wi kinson, Tom Clarke, Jack O'Larey,
Donald Wheeler, Floyd Barge and
Earl Wade. The town team was
was made up of Charles English,
Alvin Barge and Jay Montgomery,
etsrs on former high school teams,
and Ralph Windsor, Elof Anderson
and Everett Tyrrell, the latter former
star on the Kennewick high school
team who was in town that evening.

grade walked on the freshmen to

featured by fast plays and plenty
Of breaks. Principal Granger, coach
of the high school team, refereed

GETTING RESULTS FROM
]. COOPERATIVE ROAD WORK

The work of improving the Othello
road on the cast side of the Col
urnbia river is progressing satisfact-
orily. The big loader was brought
up from Pasco and installed at the
gravel pit last week and the actual
hauling and spreading of the gravel
was begun last Friday.
The work, which is being spon-
sored by the White Bluffs Grange.
is nearly all donation work by local
residents. some donating their work,
others teams and trucks, and still
others contributing money. The
soliciting was done by w. F. Shaw
and r. D. Barge of the Grange.
Franklin county is furnishing the
loader and is paying for some of
the gas and oil used by the trucks.
The 20 miles of road between the
river and Othello runs through three
counties, Grant, Franklin and Adams,
and because of this fact it has
been difficult to get concerted
action. Adams county however,
has graded the road from the end
Of the gravel, six miles south of
Othellb, over the top of Saddle
mountain and expects to gravel
most of it this year. The work
being done by donation work is in
Franklin county, distance Of four
or five miles, which is the sandiest
part in the whole distance.
The grading on the entire road
has been done and it only needs the
surfacing now to put it in first class
condition. The gravel being used for
this purpose is exceptionally good,
being small and containing certain
percentage of clay. AS the material
is dry, cold weather will not interfere
with the work and if the donation
work and money holds out, the road
will be put in splendid shape before
the crew quits. The road is badly
needed by the farmers here for the
delivery of fruit and produce into
the wheat country and will furnish
a fine short cut for travellers between
Spokane and Yakima and on to the
Coast.
