that poultrymen from all over the
county will check the above dates
and if possible, attend the meetings
in which they are particularly inter-
ested.
An evenings program is being
arranged for Friday evening, Janu-
airy 18th, under the direction of the
poultry organization at Prosser,

This promises to be an enjoyable
new feature added to the poultry
school program this year.

Cecil Barge says that times in the
East are pretty quiet with not very
much new construction work being
undertaken and not many opportuni-
ties being offered in his line of work
as civil engineer.
While in the national capital, Cecil
said he called on Congressman Sum-
mers from this district and had a
pleasant chat with him. Mr. Summers
he said, gave him letters of introduc-
ton to the heads of both the Civil
and Reclamation service which Cecil
says he believes will be of material
assistance in securing employment
in this country in the event he does
not 60 to South America.
After spending the holidays II
Washington, Cecil said he and Mrs
Barge could be temporarily located in
Newark, New Jersey.
When in town Tuesday, Sam AL.
lard said that the up-river people
were very much pleased with the
road Improvement that has beer
done by the county in that section
during the past month. He said he
had never seen the roads there in
better condition. The up-river people
he said, were also pleased that the
county has started work on the roac
from the Vernita school house to
the Yikima road at Cold Creek. The
frost in the ground may interfere
for awhile with actual construction
but the sage brush has been cleared
from the road and it is expected
that the construction work will
begin as soon as the weather per-
mits.
Mr.. and Mrs. c. c. Coleman and
family returned last Friday evening
! from Seattle, where they had spent

Coleman's parents, Mr.. and Mrs. J.
F. Coleman. On their way home they
visited few hours in The Dalles
with the F. ]. Bonn family, whom
they report well and happy. A,

Coleman's sister, Miss Frances Blair
who returned to White Bluffs with
them, called home by the illness Of
her father, F. e. Blair, who is suf-
fering from recurrence of form
er trouble that has kept him bed

After several years here in the
home of her daughter, Mrs. /. B.
Burns, Mrs. Mary Potter has decided
that there is no other pace in the
world just like the banks of the Co.
lumbia river to make a permanent
home, and is having small house
built joining the Burns home. This
addition and the rock gate pillars
that Mrs. Burns has had constructed
at the entrance of her place will con.
tribute greatly to it's attractiveness
