ASK FOR DATA ON
LOCAL AIRPORT FIELD

Detailed information regarding the
airport or landing field at White Bluffs
has been requested in letter from
the U. S. Department of Commerce
Washington, D. c., to the White
Bluffs postmaster.
The letter said that the Depart
ments records showed the field here
to be ION the Yakima to Spokane
route al
Blank forms in the nature of ques-
tionnaire, covering about every detail
Of the field, were enclosed.
The letter and blanks were inn
mediately turned over to D. S.
Wilkinson, secretary of the White
Bluffs Commercial Club, who with
the assistance of some of the other
members of the club, supplied the
complete information asked for. John
Lindblad Post is also interested in
the project and has offered to help
in any way possible.
The field ii. use now is owned by
the C. Hanford estate and lies just
east of town. So far as the topography
of the field and the frmness of the
soil is concerned, it is all that could
be asked for in an emergency field.
Its only drawback is the fact that it
is on the east side of town and the
prevailing winds are from the west.
Planes must take off and land against
the wind and heavy ships have diff
ficulty in getting altitude in short
distance.
A representative of the Yakima
Aviation company visited White
Bluffs several months ago and after
looking over the present field and
other possible sites recommended
that, if possible, field be secured
back of the high school and west OF
the w. P. Steadrnan place. Some ct
fort was made at the time to ascertain
the ownership OF that land and the
possibility of using II for landing
field but the matter was dropped be-
fore anything definite was done.
The inquiry from the Department
of Commerce has again revived inter
est and something tangible may be
worked out to use that field
Aviation as a business has passed
the experimental stage and is becom-
ing more and more factor in trans
portation.
The Kenncwick Commercial Club
has Just completed the purchase. OF a
100 acre tract there for an airport
and is making pans to improve IT
An aviation school is to start there
this summer with headquarters al
either Kennewiek or Pasco.
According to a reWs item pubusneo
last week in the Pasco Herald, there
IS possibility that the Pasco-Sal'
Lake air mail line would be EXTENDED
to Portland early this summer. I'M
Portland Chamber Of Commerce plan
to develop air mail business through
sthe,gco llnabia- which u.s. 70 q
lighted. :, :.
Possibility that Yakima will soon b:
on an air mail route is indicated by
letters recently received by Postmas-
ter H. L. Leeper there, according. to
the Yakima Herald. Mr.. Leeper has
received letters, stamped and adj
dressed. which he is asked to cancel
ard mail on the first air mail out OF
Yakima. One Of these requests came
from Nassau, Brahanae, and the
other from Dayton, Ohio.

REPORT EXPLAINED

The report for the Benton County
Herd Improvement Association pub
lished last week, was little vague as
to the selection of the herds and cows
given credit for high production dur
ing the month of February. Only re-
ports of herds and cows from herds
being tested on what is known as
the standard plan or the plan under
which the tester does the weighing
and samrling, were included in the
report Of high cows and nerds. Dur
ing the month of February there
were but 90 cows on test on this
plan. The report as published might
lead one to think that the cows and
herds were selected from the total
number tested during the month
which was a total of 63 herds includ-
ing $40 cows.
At the joint meeting of the direct
ors of tile three associations, Benton,
Franklin, and Walla Walla counties,
it was voted to give publicity to cows
and herds tested on the standard
plan and hence the report published
for February and the reports which
Will DC ALOIIl ihSiitll ~
month. While the County Agent is
opposed to this type of publicity,
for herd improvement association
work, it was SO voted by the direct
ors of the three associations and the
decision of these men must decide
the policy for the association. How
ever, the greatest benefit which
comes from herd Improvement as
ISOLATION work is the information
which farmers get in regard to their
cows and the transmitting of prod
uction ability of the sire rather than
any publicity which has tendency
to increase sales values. We trust
that farmers in the county as a whole,
and especially those who arc testing,
will get clearly in mind the funda-
mental purpose OF the herd improve
ment association work.

A REAL NICE WAR

There has been no reports Of any
one being killed or even badly
wounded in the gas War that is
sweeping the country In fact, con-
trary to the hysteria that takes hold
of the public mind during war periods,
everybody seems to be ENJOYING this
war except possibly the employees OF
the oil companies who say they are
beng worked to death. Gas prices
have been slipping and sliding at
dizzv pace and no one seems to know
when they will hit rock bottom.
No hone for truce among the
seven high distributors is held out,
according to Seattle newspapers, IN
til two or three of them have been
consolidated or driven from the Pa
cific coast competitive field 1t is
distributors war, not dealers war
in any sense or the word, although
some distributors would like to lay
the blame on the dealers.
This war will end some day, like
all wars having habit of doing, and
When it does, watch prices shoot up.
So fill your containers now. 1t is
your only way to break even.

LANDS GOOD JOB

Russell Blair has accepted po-
.stion as bookkeeper, with the I'm
ion Oil company, and is now sta
toned. at Ellensburg. He had
written the company at Yakima,
asking for position as truck driv-
er. The company replied that it
could not give HIM that position on
account Of his age--he is not yet
twenty-but they we're impressed
with his letter and he was asked to
come to Yakima. He left Tuesday
and after talking the matter over,
the company offered him position
as bookkeeper at El1ensburg, which
he accepted. He writes that he
finds it necessary to attend night
school, in order to brush up on his
type writing and shorthand. Rus
sell is graduate of the White
Bluffs high school, having been a
member Of the class Of 30.

HARD LUCK FOR Joe

Joe Schuster had an unfortunate
accident last Saturday that cost the
life Of a good COW and will cost
Joe somewhere between $50 and $50.
On trip out to Cold Creek he had
agreed to take out on his truck two
milk cows that Dave Morgan had
scld to Jerry Ford. About mile this
side of Cold Creek Joe happened to
look around to see how his passengers
were faring and discovered that one
of them, the best one, had broken
through the floor Of the truck and
her feet were either mixed up in the
frame of the car or were dragging.
One of her legs was broken and she
was otherwise injured and upon the
advice of a veterinarian, who came
over from Yakima, she was killed.

new Thermometers FOR
Refrigerator CARS

Recording Thermometers, that are
just coming into use in the North
west, promise to eliminate a lot of
trouble and misunderstanding that
have existed in the past between ship
pers, and the carriers and eastern
buyers of Northwest fruit. Perhaps
it would be more correct to say that
they place the blame where it proper
1y belongs for the unsatisfactory con-
dition in which the fruit often arrives
on the eastern markets.
The trouble has been mostly with
cold storage apples that are shipped
out during the winter months. Inc
temperature in the cold storage plants
is generally held around 80 to 81 de-
grees. When loaded out, the federal
inspection certificates show the exact
condition of the apples but this is
often much letter than when they
arrive a week or so later at their
destination Instead of the cars being
iced during the winter months, the
railroads install charcoal heaters in
them to keep the fruit from freezing.
The railroads apparent concern is In
keeping the temperature up instead Of
down somewhere near that OF the
sold storage plants. AS con-
sequence the apples show much ripper
condition on arriving than when ship
ped
This lis not to be wondered at for
some recording thermometers installed
in cars so shipped showed that the
temperature most of the time the car
was rolling was around 10 degrees.
The recording Thermometers are
incased in round tin container and
are operated by clocklike mechanism
A round metal instrument with an
automatic feed something like foun-
tain pen, records with red ink On 9
chart the exact temperature on every
hour each day that the car is in tran
sit.
When a car is loaded, the recording
thermometer is tackled up on the In
side of the car, the chart tape installed
the clock wound and the containe1
sealed. The zeal lis not broken until
the thermometer is removed when ths
car arrives at it's destination.
The thermometers are not sold but
rented out on the basis of SIS trip
The manufacturing company services
them, keeps them in order and guar
antees their accuracy.
