Page Mr.. Ripley!
But here's one about model airplane
flying that will knock your Sunday 60
connecting hat clean out of sight And
out of sight is just what happened to
the model plane of Carl Fries, jr., of
st. Louis.
Carl released his tiny ship at park
in St. Louis. 1t scared far over the
heads of spectators and disappeared
from view. And-prick up your ears,
Mr.. Ripley-they found the ship 20
miles away. Carl identified his ship
and got it back. But he won't get as
much credit for that flight as he de-
serves. You see, in order for the flight
10 be official, 1t must be followed with
binoculars during the entire course of
the fight.

Placing of the engines above
the main wing was the result of
long and careful study.
''1t Is now a generally recognized
fact that the lift is considerably
increased by mounting the pro-
pellers above the wing" it is
stated in a report on the big plane
which has been reprinted by the
National Advisory Committee for
Aeronautics. THE possibility of
using pusher propellers at the
trailing edge of the wing with the
engines inside the wing, received
particular attention. It was con-

shafts required and the difficulty
Of installing these shafts with the

KHQ LIKES OUR CHERRIES

A rather neat bit of advertising was
given White Bluffs this week by M.
M. Weihl, White Bluffs ferryman.
Monday evening he mailed a box Of
his choice Bing cherries to station
KHQ of Spokane with his compli-
merits. Attached to the box of cherries
Mr.. Wiehl sent a letter in which
among other things he told the an
nouncer of KHQ that if he cared to
he could have "Walt and Win" sing
song for Mrs. Ida H. Craig, Mrs.
Wiehls mother. The cherries were
delivered to the broadcasting station
about one o'clock Tuesday afternoon
and the announcer, in acknowledging
receipt of them, said over the air that
they were the best he had ever eaten;
that they came from White Bluffs
on the Columbia on the shortest route
between Spokane and Yakima and that
walt and Win" would sing for Mrs.
Craig, Mother Machree," which they
did. Mr.. and Mrs. Wiehl were not in
the house when the announcement of
appreciation was given over the air
but Mrs. Craig who was busy with
her household duties and who was
uniformed of the treat in store for
her, had her receiving set tuned in on
KHQ. When she heard the words
white Bluffs" she dropped her work
to listen and was naturally, quite
thrilled with that part of the program.

FIRST CAR OF CHERRIES
ROLLED WEDNESDAY

The Bing cherry season will prob
ably be over for the season so far
as commercial shipments are CON-
cerned. in this valley, the last of the
week. The first and only straight CIR
of Bings to be shipped from the val
lev this year, rolled out of White
Bluffs Tuesday evening. 1t was nee
esasry to truck 275 crates from Ken
newick to complete the car, but the
following evening a like number of
crates was trucked from White Bluffs
to Kennewick to finish car that was
being shipped out of there that eve
ming. All of the balance of the Bing
crop here has been shipped out ex-
press. The car from White Bluffs
was billed to New York, but it's rout-
ing may be changed in transit to the
market offering the best price. The
bulk of the cherry crop is being
handled again by the Three Rivers
Growers association.
There was an unusual amount OF
culls in the Bings this year. The rain
few weeks ago cracked many of
them. These cracks healed over in
many cases but left scar which kept
them out of the No. grade. There
were also many shriveled cherries,
caused, it is believed, by winter in
jury to the trees.

department of the American Home,
is on the program for five minute

tub plants she desired to use. Add
to these activities the fact that she

JULY | IS NOW PRIEST
RAPIDS dead LINE

Residents in the state interested
in the DEVELOPMENT Of the Priest Ran
ids power site ave looking forward to
july ]. This is the date fived bv the
Federal Water Power Commission
for the Washington Irrigation & De-
velopment company to make a def
mite showing as to financial ability
for the undertaking. and market for
the power that will be developed.
1t the company fails at that time
to satisfy the commission on either
or both of these points, it is quitS
likely that the application for the sec
ond permit will be rejected. On the
other hand if it can make the proper
showing, definite action in the way
of construction Of the dam in the near
future may he looked for.
A party of forty connected with the
federal reclamation service are ex-
nected to visit this state within the
next ten days or tive weeks. While
they are apparently coming to go
over the Columbia Basin project they
have also expressed a desire to Wis
Priest Rapids. This may or may not
be significant.
Definite action on the Washington
Irrigation & Development company's
application for the permit may be
somewhat complicated by the contem-
plated reorganization Of the water
power commission. The National
House of Representatives on Monday
approved, by vote of POI to II, the
bill recommended by President Hoo
yer to replace the present commission
of three cabinet members with an in
dependent commission of five. This
bill is now in the senate for consider
alton of house amendments, most
Important of which was ,ne increas-
ing the membership Of the new COM
mission from three to five.

LOCAL CLUB GETS BACK
into WINNING. COLUMN

After suffering two straight de-
feats White Bluffs broke back into
the winning habit again with ven
gence last Sunday by winning over
Benton City on the latter's grounds
by the lopsided score of Is to /.
White Bluffs scored one run in the
first inning and cinched the game in
the second when they rang the bell
seven times. The boys, who have been
in a batting slump for the past two
weeks, came to life Sunday and were
hitting the ball hard and often.
Joe Wagner pitched the entire game
for White Bluffs. He was a trifle wild
and unsteady and had to pitch himself
out of several holes, one with two on
and nobody out and another time
with the bases loaded and no one
down. Joe was assisted materially in
these pinches by fast and clever
fielding on the part of his team mates.
Bob Remlinger held down third
base, Ronald Ralston left field and
Herb Cords right field. In the other
positions the club presented its re-
gular lineup.
In the other game in the league,
Kennewick won an interesting game
from Hanford on the latters grounds
by score of to 8.
Next Sunday White Bluffs goes to
Kennewick and will try to even the
count with the lower valley club. This
will be the last time this year that
the two clubs will meet, the schedule
providing for only four contests be-
tween the two. Kennewick has won
two of the three games played and
White Bluffs will try to make it
$3.50 next Sunday.

FRANK PRIME DIES HERE

Frank Prime of Oroville, 81 years
old, passed away suddenly early Sun
day morning at the home of his
daughter, Mrs. ]. A. Bradley, at
White Bluffs, the immediate cause of
funeral was held Monday in the Pres
byterian church, the service being
conducted by Rev. w. A. Noyes.
Mrs. Prime, who with other i'm
mediate relatives was at once notified
of Mr.. Primes death, arrived in White
Bluffs, Sunday, and was present at
the funeral.
Frank Francis Prime was born De-
cember 8, 1869, being the first white
child born at Prinesville, Oregon,
where only an Indian village had
existed until his father had located
there three years before. The elder
Prime built up thriving trade with
the Indians and later when white
settlers began to make their appear
ance he added to his activities by
building them log cabins, using the
trunks of the cottonwood trees, which
grew in abundance along the river
near. His trading store, pool hall and
the saloon that was the inevitable
part Of early western life, were all
housed in one large building.
This pioneer existence of his youth
lent an interesting back ground to the
life of Frank Prime and those who
were fortunate enough to know him
say that his stories Of the early days
were full of interest and charm.
At the age of eighteen he married
Miss Sadie Irene Mocomman and to
the union were born four children, the
three surviving left with Mrs. Prime
to mourn his loss being two daugh-
tiers, Mrs. ]. A. Bradley of White
Bluffs and Mrs. o. E. Duncan of
Peshastin, and son, German Prime
of Wauconda.
