Radio Helps Mail
Planes Land in Fog

Nearly every day during the past
week radio directions have been re-
sorted to in order to enable air mail
pilots to land thru the canopy of fog
that has been hanging in the upper
air. The ceilings have been uniformly
low also but the transcontinental ships
have had to climb higher over the
Blue Mountains than the extent of
the canopy and consequently have had
no opportunity to fly under until they
must land here. Sunday evening a
little excitement was caused when
Pilot Fay passed over the airport and
then disappeared. About the same
time his sending set went out on him
and he was unable to tell the watchers
here of his whereabouts.
By use of the radio broadcasts here
they were able to direct him toward
Hood River where wind had cleared
the upper air and he could get under
the fog. He then flew under the fog
from Arlington to Umatilla where he
had to land.
Only the radio receiving and send
ing service has made it possible to

TREATS HIS FRIENDS
no MOUNTAIN TROUT

Sam Allard returned home last
Friday evening from a few days
visit with his son. Henry Allard,
at Joseph, Oregon. He says Joseph
may be a wonderful place in the
summer but is not so good in the
winter. Henry is in charge of
power plant there where a mountain
stream falling 1900 feet through
IL inch iron pipe, generates about
800 kilowatts. There was about
foot and half OF snow there last
week. Sam says he did not see any
elk or deer, which was unusual, for
they are quite tame, but he did see
lots of trout in the lake and he
brought home about 200 of these
for his friends. He says the trip
of three hundred miles down there
is an interesting one because of the
different kinds Of country one passes
through and the varying weather
at the different attitudes along
the highway, with dust at one
end and snow at the other. In
crossing one Of the peaks near
Pendleton, the fog was so thick at
midday that is was necessary to
turn on the lights of the cars.

UNCLE SAM URGES EARLY
CHRISTMAS MAILING

The post office department Is
stressing more than ever this year
the absolute necessity that Christ
mas mailing be done early. The
ordinary amount of mail handled
daily is quadrupled at Christmas
time and this means a tremendous
strain put upon the post office sys-
tenn. In order to be on the safe side
patrons are urged to allow at least
double the usual time needed for par
GELS to arrive at their destination.
Mail to be delivered for Christmas
must reach it's destination the night
of December %, and in order to do
this, it should be mailed, for fac
eastern points, not later than Decem-
Der Is or 10.
There will be no window or de-
livery service Christmas Day nor
will mail be distributed to boxes.
Instructions to the post offices are
to receive and store, but not work,
incoming mail on that date. All special
delivery mail will be handled as will
outgowing mail
Patrons are urged to securely wrap
and pack their parcels, to address
them on one side only, and to insure
all valuable parcels. The Department
especially requests that all letters and
parcels have plain legible return card.

Promise Barge Service on
Snake and Columbia Rivers

A prophecy comes from Lewis
ton, Idaho to indicate that Inland
Empire farmers may soon have new
help in adding to their net income.
A barge line is to be operated on
the Snake and Columbia rivers be-
tween Lewiston and the Pacific coast,
by the Western Inland Waterways
corporation. The first unit of this de-
velopment will include tow boat
and nine barges designed to carry
thousands Of bushels of grain. 1t is
said there will be saving in shipping
by this method, and every Inland
Empire farmer will follow the de-
velopment of the program with in

first piled their courses from Port

available acre to asparagus on my own
farm. Lampson stated that there are
but 700 acres planted to asparagus in
the valley. What any farmer should
plant should be determined by what
barnyard manure he has available.

the Big Y at Kennewick, pointed
out some interesting figures as to
grass paintings in some of the states.

value of green grass and that our
product commands higher price than
that from California. Clifford Ross,
manager of the Sunnyside cannery,
gave an interesting talk and advised
the planting of Mary and Martha

Try to Keep Road Open
BY Use of Snow Plows

The State Highway Department is
going to use the right methods tc
keep the Mabton- Bickleton- Roosevelt
Goldendale roads open this winter
by erecting snow fences at the ex-
posed places.
It's not the depth of snow in gen
eral that makes this road almost inn
passible. It's, the drifts, and they are
always small at that.
A truck has brought in "a rolls of
snow fence, each 800 feet in length.
1t is expected that IL rolls in all
will be used on the above roads.
Tone Tonoho's large barn will be
the headquarters, and placing of this
equipment will be made from that
point.
A rotary snow plow will be sent to
the same place, as soon as call is
made for same. Old timers, however,
believe the snow fences will do the
work. -Sunnyside Sun.
