White Bluffs
Now Assured
Fire Protection
Equipment Includes Axe,
Extinguishers and
800 Feet of Hose

The fire equipment recently pur-
chased by the town of White Butts
has arrived and is housed temporarily
in the White Bluffs Motor company
garage. The equipment includes IL
two and half gallon acid and soda
fire extinguishers, firen1an's ak and
800 feet of "a inch fire hose and
connections with special threads to
fit the MIGRANTS already installed.
Arrangements are being made now
to provide some kind of vehicle upon
which to mount and carry the hose.
The extinguishers are to be charged
at once and installed in some centrally
located place to be handy when need
ed. In order that the town may be
fully protected it may be necessary
for the White Bluffs Water Works to
install additional hydrants.
When cart or trailer of some kind
has been made for the hose, the
equipment will be ready for use. In
the opinion of the committee having
the matter in charge, the next unit
most needed is booster pump. Ac-
cording to price lists received, a
dependable booster pump, suited to
the needs here, costs around $500 and
it is hoped that before very long some
plan for raising money for this pur-
pose can be arranged.

BASEBALL TOURNAMENT won
BY KENNEWICk

White Bluffs was eliminated in the
base ball tournament at Pasco. last
week when the club dropped the
Saturday game to Kennewick by
score Of to 4. The game was really
lost in the first inning when three
infield errors, a passed bali and
couple Of hits Melted Kennewick four
runs. The two most costly fumbles
were by Cords on first who let
couple of ground hit balls go through
him, to the surprise Of himself and
nearly everybody else. All season long
he has been picking off such chances
with ease but these two escaped him
entirely.
After the first inning White Bluffs
settled down and played nice ball
but could not overcome that four
run handicap.
Warter was in the box for Kenne-
wick and DeVaul did the pitching for
White Bluffs. Both turned in well
pitched games, Kennewick winning
largely because it gave its pitcher
better support.
In the other two games in the
tournament, Pasco won from Kenne-
wick, Friday, by to ! score but on
Sunday Kenewick reversed the order
by capturing 10-inning affair, to 10.
Two White Bluffs players, Remlinger
and Cords, scored the two winning
runs for the victors. Remlinger played
left field and Cords held down first
for Kennewick.
The final league games of the
season ;. will be played next
Sunday, White Bluffs at Hanford
and Kennewick at Benton City.
Two post season games have been
arranged for White Bluffs. On Sunday,
July 20, the club will play Kennewick
at Kennewick and on the following
Sunday will play Pasco on the latter's
grounds.

SAME SUNDAY SUIT
FOR LAST TEN YEARS

The following news item appearing
in recent issue of the Seattle Times
will be of interest to many people in
this valley. particularly the old-timers,
who are acquainted with both parties.
Despite his wife's assertion in her
suit for divorce that he was a wealthy
rancher, Eberhard c. Nagel today
declared in an answer filed in Superior
Court that he had owned but one
Sunday suit of clothes" for the past
ten years.
"The wife, Blanche Nagel, who for
nlerly was assistant state spdrin-
tendent of public schools and who,
with her husband, homesteaded in
the Pacific Northwest nearly two
decades ago, demanded an equitable
division of property rights, which she
said were large, besides divorce de-
cree. Nageps reply was an affidavit
to prevent an order requiring him to
pay temporary alirnony. He said he
couldanot afford it because the ranch
at Ringold Flats, WASH, took all his
money.
"The husband asserted that Mrs.
Nagel was "a woman of brilliant in
tellect' that she had chosen to teach
in schools instead of doing house.
work, which he said, she regarded
as drudgery, and that she was ca
pable of earning more money than
he was The couple has lived apart
sixteen years, during which time,
according to the husband, he visited
her once a year and invited her to
come back to the farm. She always
refused the invitation and has never
returned the visit, .Nagel declared"

ORGANIZING NEW SCHOOL
DISTRICT AT. GAS WELLS

The Gas Well community, situated
about twelve miles southwest of White
Bluffs, has taken steps to form an
independent school district. The pro-
posed district will comprise an area
of about twenty-eight square miles,
and the population includes eight
families with twelve children of school
age. This community lies to the north
Of the Rattlesnake.. Hill and is cut off
from the rest of school District No. II
on account of the steepness along the
crest of the hill. By organizing the
new district the problem of financing
the school will become easier.

Priest Rapids Dam
Application Rejected Because Of Delay in
Starting Project
Company Unable to Show Sufficient Evidence
Company Unable to Show

The Federal Water Power Commission rejected,
Thursday the application of the Washington Irrigation
& Development company for permit to develop the
Priest Rapids power SITE
The commission said that the rejection based
upon the failure of the company to present sufficient
idence of it's ability to proceed with construction in the
immediate future
So far, the commission said, endeavors of the
company to interest large of electric power in this
project have failed resulting in inability to finance and
to market the power.
In it's statement the commission said that it desired
to encourage legitimate development of the country
water power resources but insisted that requirements be
met to prevent favorable sites from falling into control
of speculative groups.
