Heavy Trains at Kiona
For Mix With Stribling

Under the expert tutelage Of
"Bat" Nelson, who formerly held
the limelight in pugilistic circles
as lightweight champ, Chuck An
derson, husky youngster from Gull
yer City, has been training at Kiona
for an expected scrap with Young
Stribling at st. Louis the last Of
this month.
Anderson got a draw with Strib-
ling when he met him before, but
he is assured that he will turn
the tables this time if the Georgia
heavy accepts the offer to meet
Anderson. Nelson expects a defi-
mite answer within a few days.
Anderson's training at Kiona is
mainly road work. Nelson wants
to get him down to 1872 1-2 pounds,
his regular fighting weight.
They left Thursday morning for
Butte. After a possible fight there,
Anderson will scrap October Ia in
st. Louis preliminary to meeting
Stribling. Nelson expects to return
to Kennewick sometime in Novem-
iber, as they have interests in the
gas fields here.

Believe Signs
\ \ h
You'd Better!

"Stop!" That's what the signs
say, and that's what c. E. Cope
land has been saying the past week
as he arrested eight hasty drivers
who forgot to believe in signs.
"Those signs on the streets
were placed there for safety" said
Copeland, mot to give me chance
to nab people, but if they don't
quit their carless ways, I'll arrest
them just as I've arrested the first
eight. Pm good for at least eight
more.
"On approaching stop signal,
the car should come to dead halt.
Merely slowing down does not
serve the purpose. 1t should be
necessary for the driver to change
gears to get under way again after
coming abreast of one of these
signals. For the sake of safety, /
intend to see that the signs are
obeyed."

Hunting Opens
II II II
Sport Of Kings

The fire hazard having been ap-
preciably lessened by the recent
rains, which were general through
out the state, the hunting season
was opened October / by the proc
lamation of Governor Roland H.
Hartley.
This is good news to the vast
brotherhood of men whose fingers
have ached longingly for the trig-
ger, and whose eyes have followed
the flight of game birds these
bright fall days.
"Goin' huntin" a man can for
get about the big and little wor-
ries that ride him most of the time
and with a lusty dog and time
proven shotgun, he can be king of
all he surveys. He'll bring home
more than game.

HOLDS EGG RECORD
Ribbon for Large Egg Production
Goes to Albrecht's Chickens

Ribbon for Large Egg Production
Goes to Albrecht's Chickens
Edwin Albrecht holds one of the
outstanding records for large egg
production, according to w. L.
Starkly, manager of the Washing
ton Cooperative poultry associa-
tion. A group Of pullets exhibited
at the state fair this year by Al
brecht set a high standard for egg
production and all the eggs were
large enough to rate first grade,
a matter Of great Importance to
poultry raisers.
The difference in price goes as
high as 80 cents a dozen between
small and large eggs, Starkly said,
so that large eggs are an extreme
ly important factor in determin-
ing profits.

U. S. Gypsum in
Transaction.
BIZ United Press

By United Press
NEW YORK, Sept. 19.-The New
York Herald Tribune said today a
merger of three concerns had
brought about the largest amalga-
nation of distribution facilities in
the history of the building indus
try, with total assets Of $3.50, 900, 900
involved.
The companies in the merger, &C

Confirmation of the transaction
was made Wednesday night by
James Ramps, general sales man
ager of the Insulite company. No
exchange of stock was involved, he
said, but he revealed there was a
definite pooling of distributing and
manufacturing interests.
Many concerns in the west and
northwest will be affiliated with the
three companies, including the
Backus, Brooks Company, the Great
Lakes Paper Company, Ltd, the In
ternational Lumber Company, the
National Pole and Treating Com
pany, the Minnesota, Dakota e.
Western railway, the Fort Frances
Pulp and Paper Company, Ltd, the
Ontario and Minnesota Power Com
pany, Ltd, the Seine River I'M
provement Company, Ltd, the Ken
ora Paper Mills. Ltd, the Keewatin
Lumber Company and the Kenora
Development Company, Ltd.
1t was estimated those affiliations
would bring the total assets to
$1,000, 100000. All three of the chief
concerns will continue to operate
under their present arrangements,
Ramps said.
The three concerns have many
foreign contacts, it was said, and a
virtual worldwide distribution sys-
tenn will be available for their
products.

By Onite0 Press
PLAINVILLE, Conn, Sept. 49,
Big as it is, the Governors mansion
will be taxed to hold all the we'd
ding presents arriving for Florence

Every day a mailman staggers up
to the front door with twenty-five to

the dispair of servants.
Gardeners, stonemaSons and
painters have been busy around the
house during the week.
Everything "Set" for Wedding
Virtually everything is arranged
for Mondays wedding in the Con-
gregational church at p. m.
Although Mrs. Trumbull regards
the wedding as "just a simple little
private affair."" public interest has
neceSsitated unusual arrangements
for giving the news to the public
without making the wedding a spec
tacle.
These are the press arrangements
announced today:
-Four still" photographers, two
from New York, one from Boston
and one from Connecticut, will be
allowed inside the police lines out
side the church.
Two silent movie cameramen and
one sound man will be allowed in
side the lines.
Must Have Passes
All newspaper men must have
passes. No reporters will be allowed
inside the lines.
A friend of John and girl friend
of the bride will be interviewed by
men and women reporters, respec-
lively, after the ceremony.
Restrictions applying at the
church during the wedding cere-
mony will apply at the house during
the reception.

HIGH UP FRIENDS
Farmers Keep Tab ON Mail Pilots

flew so low over garden that he
blew the farmers hat off.
This pilot likes to amuse the
children along his route. Every day
all summer he has flown over a
certain farmhouse and waved at
the five children in the family.
A few weeks ago school started.
The pilot missed the children
when he few over. SO he dropped
a note in the front yard, giving
his name and address, and saying
that if the children would write
and tell him where their school
house was, he would come over
some day and do stunts for them.
The children wrote, gleefully.
Two days later the mail pilot
came. 1t was just 1880, and
school was recessing for lunch.
Everyone, including the teachers.
ran out to watch. And for five
minutes the pilot, at safe alti-
tude, of course, gave them the
best show they had ever seen.
They say he did every thing in the
book of stunts.
