SAIL LOFTS DISAPPEAR
 AS SCHOONERS VANISH

PORTLAND, Me, April H. Sail lofts are a rapidly vanishing industry. Where a dozen flourish ed along the Portland waterfront 20 years ago, two or three have hard work today in finding enough to keep them busy.
 Sails still are in demand for yachts and miscellaneous craft, but nearly everything that floats now has auxiliary power and this greatly cuts down the wear and tear on canvas.
 Slx-masted schooners were the best friends of the men of palm and needle. The sail loft that furnished one or two of the big fellows with suits of canvas was sound financially for some time.

BIG PRESS NEARLY READY

The new concrete foundation in the
Spokesman office, built especially to
carry the big power press, having
dried cut sufficiently, the job of set
ting up the press was undertaken
last Sunday. The work was done
under the supervision Of John Stone,
head printer and mechanic in Record
Hulletin Office in Prosser, who has
had considerable experience in that
line and who says that the press will
be equal to any in the county.
Due to the failure of the new set
OF ink rolls to arrive, and the fact
that special bolts and other small
parts were missing and had to be
ordered, it was impossible to finish
the lob but Mr.. Stone has promised
to be back again nexe Sunday when
it is hoped the new rolls and other
parts will have arrived and tn:
press can be tested out.
The press will be driven by a slow
and variable speed two-horse-powcr
electric motor. The motor was
purchased through Joe Picatti who
has charge of the work of installing
it and connecting 1t up with the
press. . n,
1t will cost quite a little sum to
Get up the press and put it in running
order and as every little helps the
Spokesman would like to thank all
OF those who have come In volun-
tarily during the past month and
paid up their subscriptions and to
extend those thanks also to several
new subscribers who have come in
and added their names to the list.
The Spokesman has rather a uni
que record in that in the IA years it
has been published under the present
management not single new sub
scriber has been solicited directly or
indirectly. Every one on its list is
voluntary subscriber and 1t goes
regularly to approximately 90 per
cent of the homes between Priest
Rapids and the In-B-Tween. Not
many newspapers big or little can
claim such record.

SUMMERS IAuDs an CLUBS

Much credit is due the boys and
girls of the All clubs for the splen-
did work they have done this year"
With these words. Congressman John
W.. Summers of Washington paid
tribute to the 4lH riubs Of Wash
ington after reviewing a report Of
their work as prepared by the govern
ment.
The report shows that there are
772 clubs in this state. These clubs
have an enrolment of 6,267 girls. and
2.4o5 boys. OF the total enrolment,
4,454 girls and 1,521 boys completed
the work. ~.
mot only are the boys and girls
to be complimented on the actual
work that they have done hut also
for the foundation they have laid as
future scientific farmers" said the
Washington representative. "The day
Of hodge-podge farming methods is
a thing Of the past. We are living
in a highly competitive age, not only
in industry but on the farm as well.
To even attempt to carry on with
obsolete methods can have only one
result, that of failure.
"aThe 4-H club thus, are doing a
splendid work in teaching boys and
girls modern farm and home meth
cds., Congressman Summers !, con-
tinucd met only are modern farm
and home methods essential on the
field but they are als6 required in
the home. Thus the All clubs, have
become one Of the greatest powers
for good in the United States

woMAN's CLUB NOTES

Although the weather. Wednesday
afternoon was dark and depressing,
more than bakers, dozen Of the
club members came out to hear the
program on Poetry" as presented
by Mrs. Keal and Mrs. OIarey.
Mrs. Keaps subject Of poems of
Childhood" treated in her own de-
lightfully unique manner, more than
repaid everyone who came. Smiles
and tears were very near together
as she lead her hearers down forgot
ten paths to memories of their own
childhood, with the songs and rhymes
of long ago; but even moro interest
ing phase, of her talk was the result
of recent "poetry census" taken
among the second generation in club
member families, the result OF which
disclosed the kinds of poems favored
by each child and furnished much
food for psychological study.
Mrs. O'Larey's paper was an out
line of modern British poetry and in
conjunction with her talk last year
on contemporary American poets, was
intended to serve as @a' foundation
for the real, critical study of poetry
(nodern, of course) next year, ratl,-
er than as an end in itself.
i Mrs. E. A. Schilling was present
.as a guest during the meeting, at the
beginning of which Mrs. v. G. VIII
son was welcomed as new member
], of the club.

Rain AND SNOW ENDS
EXTENDED DROUGHT

First fogs, then rain and snow, the
former in the lower levels and the
latter in the higher attitudes. the
first of the week .extended-- over
nearly all of the states west Of the
Rocky Mountains and brought, to an
end one of the drycst seasons on
record. The center of the rainfall was
at Portland, although all three Of the
Pacific Coast states received a pretty
fair soaking. The end Of the
dry spell was particularly vel
coined at Seattle and Tacoma
where the hydro.electric plants
could not longer furnish the
necessary amount Of electricity be-
cause many of the mountain streams.
where their plants were located, no
longer carried a sufficient amount of
water to turn the turbines.
The moisture came too late in the
season to do the wheat farmers any
good and it may be pretty tough
shedding for them next year un-
less there should be an unusual rain
fall next spring.
The fall OF moisture this week
brought smile to the faces of sheep
men who were having difficulty in
finding water for their flocks on the
range. Up to that time nothing re-
manned from last summers growth
except dry grass on. the range and
the owners were often compelled to
drive their f1ocks quite distance to
water holes.
The cold weather that has prevailed
almost constantly since about the
first of November has moderated
somewhat since the rainfall. This
unusual cold extended over nearly all
of America. A letter from Ralph
Pitt, dated December l, at Ceylon
Saskatchewan, Canada, says: "Thc
winter is very severe up here, one Of
the worst I have ever experienced in
Canada" and Mrs. M. E. Owens
writing from Portland says: THE
weather here has been fine except
for the fog, which you could cut
with knife. It lasted nearly a week
and now we have the cast wind,
which you know is cold"
Locally, the moisture will help the
roads which had begun to get rather
rough and dusty and will relieve the
minds of the growers who had begun
to worry about the orchards standing
a very severe winter with the ground
80 dry.

WHITE BLUFFS STORES
IN HOLIDAY ATTIRE

Although Christmas is nearly two
weeks away, White Bluffs, is already
beginning to have quite a festive ap-
pearance, lent by the holiday colors
that have been lavishly used in the
decoration of the windows in the
various business houses.
The drug store which is Santa
Claus' headquarters, is full of candies
and toys that are very attractive to
the Juvenile visitors who may be
found there almost any hour Of the
day, and there are tables and shelves
besides, fun of beautiful gifts for old
sters as well as youngsters.
One Of the most attractive win
dows is at the Pacific Power &
Light company office where, Hot
point electric range that is being
offered as Christmas special, shares
honors with gai,y lighted Christmas
tree around whose base are clustered
electrical gifts of almost every des-
cription.
A miniature fireplace with colored
lights in sthe display window of the
White Bluffs Motor company has a
honey and inviting appearance and is
already for Santa Claus. Across the
bottom Of the fireplce is written the
message; Merry Christmas and
Good Years, featuring Goodyear
tires, set of which would make a
noble present for any car owner.
The Christmas window in the
White Bluffs Trading company
store features useful and practical
gifts except for a large family Of
dolls all of whom are hoping for a
nice home and loving mother.
The Columbia Grocery and Meat
Market is laying in supply OF
candies, nuts, cranberries, vegetables
and other goodies that go to make UP
a holiday dinner.

GRANGE ASKS FEDERAL
AID FOR RURAL ROADS

Among the five important resolu-
tions listed by the state Grange News
in its issue of December S, as having
been adopted by the recent National
Grange meeting in Seattle was one
for federal aid for rural roads. This
resolution was:
+ WHEREAS the present aid for
Rural Post Roads is spent mostly
on Trunk Highways,
WHEREAS the farmer is seeking
exit from his farm to the Trunk
Highways, and Consolidated Rural
School Buses, and Rural Mail
Routes mostly used other than for
Trunk Highways; I,
THEREFORE BE 1T RESOLV-
ED by the National Grange that we
favor a plan of Federal Aid for
strictly Rural. Roads, apportioned
among the states according to the
number of rural routes in each state,
or some other equitable plan"
The resolution was prepared by
M. r. Slavens,. rural carrier at Ham
ford and secretary of the State Rural
Letter Carriers Association. Mr..
Slavens is a member of the Hanford
Grange and he attended the National
Grange meeting under an authorize
alton issued to him by the president
of National Rural Letter Carriers
association. The resolution went
through the Transportation commit
tee, to whom it was referred, without
any changes whatever and was pass
ed by the convention, unanimously.
There is lot of merit in the idea,
for in the past there has been too
little attention given to rural roads
in all road building plans and now.
that it is part of the National Grange
program, it is hoped that it will
bring about the desired result.

NEW DEVICE WILL TAKE CONTROLS
 WHEN PLANE SWERVES OFF COURSE

ELYRIA, Ohio, May 13.-A me- chanical airplane pilot has been invented by Otto L. Green, Ohio engineer.
 Gravity and wind operate the de- vice, and it's inventor claims that it will keep plane on it's course even more exactly that the skilled hand of an experienced flier.
 There are four plates, thereby providing different contact for a right, left, front, or back tip. When the pendulum is swung against one of the plates, a motor is started which operates a device to bring the plane back to normal position.
 In addition, Greene has a wind control device which supplements the gravity control. It works on the same principle, a vane coming into contact with a carbon resistance plate whenever necessary.
 Green believes his device will be valuable as a relief pilot" Once having put his plane on the right course, an aviator can transfer con- trol to the mechanical device mere ly by pressing button.

 The populace has been hardened to tales of violence in the past de- cades but now interest centers in the trial of Mrs. Eva Rablen, Texas 'mail-order bride, accused of pois- oning her husband, Carroll Rab- len, outside a dance hall, with a cup of coffee in which it is al- legged poison was placed. The court is elevated in a dance hall within sight of the main street where in days gone by men died with thier boots on
 Mrs. Rablen maintained inno- cence in the face of the damaging report of poison traces found in the cup. She bases her defense on the statement that her husband committed suicide.
