White BLUFFS MADE
LARGEST GROWTH

According to figures so far releas-
ed by Census Supervisor G. D. Nc
Question in Yakima, White Bluffs has
a population of $40 as compared with
1877 in 1920, or gain of 2S3 persons,
which is an increase of 70 per cent.
This is the best showing made in any
precinct in Benton county. In fact
most of the places in the county show
a loss as compared with the 1920
census. Kennewick, for instance, has
1866 less than 10 years ago and Pros
ser's count shows 1860 in 1880 as
compared to 1897 in 1920, or loss of
1877. Manv of the other precincts also
show loss.
Columbia precinct, (Allard-V ernita
and Cold Creek) has an even 100
against 143 in 1920. According to the
unofficial count, the Hartford precinct
which takes in all of the territory up
as far as Grants corner, stands prac-
tically where it did ten years ago. In
1920 Hartford had 429 while the 1880
| figures show 428, or one less than ten
years ago. However, Mrs. M. R. Sla-
vens, census enumeration for that pre-
cinct, tells the Spokesman that Han
ford has in fact the same number of
residents that it had 10 years ago,
due to the arrival of little Miss Dor
othy Eleanor Horton, who was born
on April IL, just ~ days too late to
be included in the 1880 census.
The local census figures show that
there were 119 farms enumerated in
the White Bluffs precinct, 80 in the
Hanford precinct and 26 in the up
river district.
The American village is dying ac-
cording to early returns on census
reports. Figures from eight states in
the Ohio valley show that 90 Of lol
small towns had reduction Of from
five to 100 per cent since 1920. Good
roads, autos, radios ETC., have con-
tributed to this shift in population.
The total population increase for the
whole country is coming in the larger
towns and cities. Modern farm HOUSES
and rural free delivery have tended
to check rural migration to urban GEN.
tiers, and the farmers are passing up the
village trading centers to go to the
larger places.
The 1880 census will establish the
fact that New York City has more
than five million six hundred thous-
and inhabitants-with over a third OF
Them, 600, 900 foreign born. Some
village that. 1t has more Italians
than Rome, more Irish than Dublin,
more Germans than Bremen, and one
tenth of all the Jews in the world.
And there afe more telephones in
use in New York than in London,
Paris, Berlin, Petrograd and Rome
combined. It is estimated, after as
thorough a check as is possible, that
fully 100000 visitors arrive in New
York every day. The time tables
show the arrival OF a passenger train
every So seconds; there is wedding
every thirteen minutes which prob
ably accounts for some of the i'll luck
in Matrimony; there's birth every
six minutes; new business launch
ed every ten minutes; and new
building completed every fifty-one
minutes. Believe it or not-these are
facts.

The eclipse of the sun Monday FORE
noon was witnessed by a good many
people in this valley. The shadow oil
the earth cast on the sun by the moon
first made it's appearance about 1C
o'clock, and gradually crept across the
surface of the sun. The shadow
reached its peak about. II o'clock
when only about one-sixth of the suns
surface was visible. When the eclipse
was at its height there was semi.
darkness, very much resembling eve
ming or early dawn Heavy fleecy
clouds at times obscured the visibility
but these obscurities occurred only al
comparatively long periods.

1PACHO SCORES KNOCKOUT OVER
BABY DEMPSEY IN THIRD ROUND

I first three rounds, showing speed
and left hook that piled up
points for him. Balding didn', get
| going until the fourth when he took
! the round by virtue of solid punches.
He had Armstrong practically out
in the fifth but showed as much
skill in his efforts to finish him as
one of the kids holding the water
! bottle might be expected to show.
Andy rallied somewhat in the sixth
and fought a good battle. Balding
seemed to content to bore in and
take what Andy had, in the hone of
sending blow that would bring
victory, but when such opportuni-
ties came, he passed them up. The
draw decision was a good one.
Another pair we don want to see
again are Tiger Flowers and Kid
Mexico. Their first few scraps were
funny but they have grown stale
las entertainers. They pull and
haul, slug and tug, make faces and
forget what little either knows
about boxing. They make ono
think of a couple of kids out be-
hind the school house but the kids
might put up a better fight. Flow
Crs took the decision.
