EIlensburg Boy
Is Drowned at
Black Sand Bar
Strength Fails and Ralph
MOen Sinks In 20
Feet of Water

The Black Sand Bar, with its
natural bathing pool, and for several
years the favorite resort of the young
folks of the community during the
summer months, was the scene of
tragedy last Sunday when Ralph
Moen, II, of Ellensburg, was drown
ed there.
Young Moen, accompanied by Har-
old Lutzenhiser and his sister Verna,
and James Hill had driven down from
Ellensburg, Sunday morning to get
load of peaches, arrived here about
eight o'clock. A few hours later they
decided to go bathing and drove down
to the Black Sand Bar.
Miss Lutzenhiser is fair swimmer
and young Moen could swim little.
but neither of the other two boys
could swim at all. The girl swan
across the deepest part of the pool
and back once and on her second trip
over, young Moen said he would &C
company her. When they were about
twenty feet from the east bank, he
said he was getting very tired and
Miss Lutzenhiser told him to place
one of his hands on her shoulder.
When he did this, however, he be-
came confused and went under, TAX
ing Miss Lutzenhiser down with him.
In her struggle to save him she was
carried under twice and was much
exhausted when she finally came to
the surface, it being only with diff
Guilty that she finally reached shore
with the aid of a plank showed out
to her by the other two boys.
Without waiting to change his bath
ing suit, Harold Lutzenhiser drove
to town, distance of little over
two miles, for help A number i'm
mediately hurried to the scene of the
tragedy, among them Charles Eng
fish and Walter Johnson, both good
swimmers, who attempted to locate
the body but as the pool where the
boy had gone down was about twenty
feet deep, they were unable to reach
the bottom. Another half hour or
more elapsed before a row boat, from
which the swimmers could dive, was
brought on a truck. George McCotter
made two unsuccessful dives to the
bottom of the pool. Jay Montgomery
in his first attempt. 1t was brought
" oHoIc pul dS more lIldl TWO HOuTs
had elapsed since the boy went down
no attempt at resuscitation was made.
In response to telephone messages
Deputy Sheriffs Besse and McFar-
land arrived during the afternoon
from Prosser, as did Undertaken 1.
M. Mueller of Kennewick.
Two brothers of the drowned boy
and the coroner from Ellensburg
arrived later in the evening and took
the body to Ellcnsburg.
Young Moen was the son of Mrs.
John Moen, who lives on farm
near Ellensburg. Mrs. Moen lost her
father and husband within the last
two or three years.

MALCOLM M'FEE DIES
AT SEATTLE HOME

In the death of Malcolm Melee,
who passed away at his home in Seat
tie, last Saturday, this valley lost a
substantial friend. Although nearly
seventy-eight years of age Mr.. Nc
Fee was active and in good health
ny until few months ago when he
suffered stroke of paralysis. This
was followed by another stroke Aug
ust TO- from which he never rallied.
Mr.. McFee was born in Quebec,
Canada. He left home when he was
sixteen years old to go into the rail-
road contracting business and he fol-
lowed this work all of his life, spend
ing most of the time on the ground
and in active charge of each job. He
had been a resident of Seattle tor
AS years and since 1904 has been as
ISOLATED with the firm of Henry &
McFee, general contractors.
In 1907 the firm had the contract
for building this branch OF the Mil
waukee railroad and it was at that
time that Mr.. McFee first became
interested in this valley. His invest
ments here have amounted to con-
siderable sum. Most of these were IN
real estate but other interests included
loans. as well as stock in the townsite
company and in the cold storage
plant.
His faith in the future of the val
ley never wavered and he always
stood ready to aid in substantial
way every constructive development
in need of financial assistance.
[ His rough and ready disposition
developed through his long years in
the open in charge of development
work made him many warm friends
who regretted to hear of his passing.
Two of his four children. John and
Donald McFee, live at White Bluffs.
The other two, Joel McFee and Mrs.
Frank Pritchard, are residents OF
Seattle.

III is AN ILL WIND THAT
BLOWS NO ONE GOOD

The exceptionally low temperatures
last winter followed by the cold and
unfavorable spring, wiped out a good
part OF the soft fruit crop in the
northwest. This valley Jared, appar-
emily, far better than most places for
there was fairly good crop here of
all kinds of soft fruit. The peach crop
is not large but the fruit attained
exceptional size and quality and the
local demand has been heavy. Nearly
all of the peaches here that have
inatursd during the last few weeks
f1avee been sold in nearby towns,
kennewick, Prosser, Yakima, Ellens-
burg and Wenatchee taking the bulk
of them. The Kennewick stage has
been carrying out a fairly good load
every day for the past week or ten
days and many OF the residents of the
close-by towns have driven in to
make their purchases direct from
the growers. In spite of the general
peach shortage in the northwest and
the fine quality of the crop here. the
price being received by the growers
is not exceptionally high but is suf-
icient to return a fair profit.
Young &. Thurm, who specialize
in raising quality fruit and putting it
out in an attractive package, this
week shipped out three boxes of Hale
peaches that should give their or
chard quite a little boost and at the
same time be neat little advertise
ment for this valley. One of the
boxes went to Washington, DC. for
w. v. Messy, assistant managing
editor of the Washington Post; an
other to Edward O'Connor, coloni-
cation agent for the Milwaukee rail
road at Sacred Heart, Minnesota;
and the other to c. c. Mccormick,
agricultural development agent of the
Milwaukee, at Seattle. In order to
insure that the box going to Wash
ington D. c. would arrive in good
condition, Permission was secured
from the railroad to carry it in the
refrigerator in the dining car.

NOT MUCH CHANCE FOR
A PEDESTRIAN ANY MORE

Chalk up another credit for the
Ford. The Model A already has quite
an impressive list of achievements,
but its use as an implement for kill
ing coyotes by the simple process of
overtaking and running over them is
something new and different. While
on her way home from Priest Rapids
last Friday evening, Mrs. Edith Doc
ley saw an animal running along the
road in front of the car and when
she realized it was a coyote, she
stepped on the gas and ran over it
before it could get out Of the way.
Because of the condition of the road
she had to travel about mile before
she could turn around and go back
to see what had happened to the
animal She found it lying in the
road, not dead, but so badly injured
that it could not travel and she
finished the job with a club. She
took the carcass home to have the
pelt removed and made into rug.

The hour of arrival of the incoming

Beverly in time to meet the east and
west bound night trains. Failure to do

WHITE BLUFFS SCHOOLS
WILL OPEN next TUESDAY

The White Bluffs schools will open
next Tuesday, September 2, 1T 9 A.
M. The school year will start at that
time and the teaching corps hopes to
have the regular classes running by
II o'clock:
The staff at the high school will
be the same as last year. In the
grade school there will be two new
teachers, Miss Margaret Johnson and
Miss Laversa Keonig, both of Enum-
claw. Miss Johnson is a graduate of
the Enumclaw high school and the
State Normal at Ellensburg. Her re-
cord shows that she did excellent
work in both institutions. Her prac-
tise teaching in the normal school won
high praise from her supervisors. She
will have charge of the third and
fourth grades.
Miss Keonig is also a graduate OF
the Enurnclaw high school and the
Normal at Ellensburg. Her recon-
mendations, both as a student and
a teacher, are exceptionally good. She
will have charge of the fifth and sixth
grades.
Miss Alice Martin will be back again
and in addition to the first grade she
will teach the second grade this year
as the prospective enrolment in these
two grades does not justify the en-
ployment of a teacher for each one.
The room thus left vacant will be
utilized for extra curricular activities
from the first to the sixth grades.
