Open Naches
Pass Highway
Next Sunday
LARGE CROWD EXPECTED AT
LAKE TIPSOE TO WITNESS
THE CEREMONIES

A good sized crowd of Yakima and
other Eastern Washington residents,
as well as an equally large crowd from
the west side of the mountains, is ex-
pected to be at Lake Tipsoe next Sun
day to witness the ceremonies cele-
brating the opening of the Naches
Pass highway, which is to be adver-
tised as the eastern gateway to Mt
| Rainier
This highway, which is said to be
one of the most scenic in the state, was
first conceived back in 1912. Its ac-
tual building has been underway for
several years but difficult construction
near the summit delayed its compile
| ton
1t was first laid out with the idea
of finding short route from Yakima
to the Coast. 1t has done this by re-
ducing the distance about "a miles. But
it's promoters also wanted to make it
a scenic route and they have succeed
ed beyond their most romantic dreams,
according to those who have travelled
over the new road
The highway, it is announced, will
be open for general travel in the
spring of 1892, but arrangements have
been made by the Rainier National
Park company with the contractors to
permit Yakima and Eastern Washing
ton people to travel through to Sun
rise Ridge in Yakima Park Saturday
SO that night may be spent on Mt
Rainier.
picnic dinner is to be eaten by the
visitors Sunday noon at Lake Tipsoe
where the ceremonies are to be held.
The State Chamber of Commerce, to-
gether with number Of other civic
organizations from the Coast will par
ticipate and addresses will be made by
Governor Hartley, State Director Of
Highways Sam Humes and other nota-
bles of the state.
One interesting part of the cere-
monies will be a mock wedding be-
tween Miss Peaches of Yakima and
Mr. Cream of Enumclaw. The brides
maids will come from number OF
Eastern Washington towns. Those so
far chosen are Miss Louise Elmer of
Grandview Miss Grace Rennie OF
Naches Miss Alma Schmidt of Wapa-
to, Miss Elsie May Walker of Selah,
Miss Odile Shepard of Kennewick,
Miss Virginia Enyeart of Hanford, Miss
Tommie O'Larey OF White Bluffs,

Perry of Prosser, Miss Jessie Brown Of
Sunnyside and Miss Edith Woodland OF
Toppenish Miss Betty Hollom of Yaki-
ma is to be the bride.
/ Cameramen for four different news
reel companies are expected to be at
Lake Tipsoe Sunday to take moving
pictures of the mock wedding and 9TH
err features of the ceremonies.
A number from this valley plan to
take in the celebration and while some
of them will go over Saturday to spend
the night in the Park, most Of them
will drive over Sunday morning,
Those planning to spend Saturday
night in the Park must take their food
and cooking utensils as the cafateria
there is closed for the season.

TWO HEAVY RAINS THIS WEEK
HAVE COOLED ATMOSPHERE

Two recent rains, one Sunday and the
other Tuesday night, have routed out
the prolonged hot spell and ushered in
fall weather The rainfall Tuesday
night was heavy and was accompanied
by unusual thunder and lightning. One
bolt must have struck close in for the
flash and crash were almost sinful
taneous and awakened everybody IN
town. c. I. Wright says the shock was
so great it threw him out of bed, but
admits he may have jumped.
A number of transformers were put
out of commission by the storm and it
was Tuesday evening before the inter-
rupted electric service was restored.
The cooler weather is helping lot
in causing the apples now ready for
harvest to take on color.
That the weather has moderated
considerably since the rains is shown
by the following readings of the gov
eminent thermometer at Hanford:

White Bluffs School Notes

! The second week of the school year
finds the total enrolment of students
at 178. Of these, So are high school
students and 100 are enrolled in the
grades. The practice of having the
seventh and eighth grades in the same
building as the high school is con-
tinued this year, consequently there
are 83 students using the high school

dents enrolled in grades one to six
in the grade building.
The majority of the students were
enrolled on the first day of school,
August 81 although there were few
who enrolled later in the week. Sew
eral students finding it necessary to
continue their work at home enrolled
the first day, received their textbooks
and were given an idea of what ma
terial would be covered before they
would be able to return. The high
school faculty are putting forth every
effort to give special help and assign
ments for these students, as in this
assured that there will not be Short
age in books when the pupil returns
and also the student will not be quite
so far behind his classmates who are
in regular attendance.
The courses which are being offered
this semester are English 1, II, and w;
French I and II; Geometry; Algebra
General Science, Physics, Tipping
Bookkeeping, Psychology, and World
History. A course in Botany was of.
fered as an elective to Juniors anc
Seniors, but as there was only one
person who elected it, the course was
discontinued.
The students are approaching the
cooler atmosphere which does not re-
mind them quite so much of perfect
swimming weather or summer days
Also they are glad to have one weeks
start on many of the other schools ir
the state who began instruction or

Legion Smoker
September l9

Members Of John Lindblad Post OF
the American Legion announce that
the Post will sponsor series OF
smokers this fall for the entertainment
of fistic fans in the valley. The num-
Der of smokers put on will depend on
how well they are supported by the
fans.
The first one of the series will be
given Saturday evening, September 49,,
at Liberty Hall in White Bluffs. The
first number on the program that ev-
ening will be a wrestling bout between
Dan Love and George McCotter. This
will be followed by three round box
ing exhibition between Richard
Schicka and Maurice Ralston. These
two embryo fighters have been in
training for months and it is said the
harder one hits the harder the other
retaliates and knockout is possible
in this bout.
The third number on the program
will feature boxing bout between Vic
tor Heatherington, the pride of Han
ford, and Bud Paschen, the White
Bluffs hope. There is a lot of honor
at stake in this one and it should be
good.
The semi-windup will also be box
ing bout between Ronald Ralston and
Boyd King. 1t is said there will be
lot of action in this bout as Ronald
has been doing a lot of training and
is out to show the fans that in this
country Kings are not as high as Aces
The main event is to be announced
later. Arrangements are underway to
bring in an outside boy of professional
experience to meet Ted King. An
other preliminary bout is also among
the possibilities.
Only general admission tickets are to
be sold, 81 for. men and so cents for

Commission Announces
Hunting Season Dates

Open season on Chinese Pheasants
and Hungarian Partridges in Benton
county this year, as fixed by the state
game division, is limited to six days
These open dates are October IL, IA
Is, 81, Is and 49, There are also twt
days, October IL and IA, when equal
may be taken in this county. The
daily bag limit on Chinks is three
Huns, four; and quail, four; with a
daily mixed bag limit of seven.
There is no open season in Benton
county this year on deer, bear, elk
blue grouse and native pheasants.
Yakima is included among the few
counties in the state that have an
open season on bear and elk. This
is from November l to November TO-
The bag limit on elk is zone male with
visible antlers.'
Thurston county is the only one in
the state that has an open season on
bull frogs. This season is from July
to September 30. The bag limit is
six frogs in any one day.
The state game commission passes
out the following advice to hunters:
1t is unlawful for any person to hunt
game animals or game birds protected
by law without first procuring hunt
ing license. And in the case of hunt
ing elk, a supplemental license, in adj
dition to the regular hunting license
must be procured.
The law requires every person to
have his hunting license in his per-
sonal possession and on his person
while hunting. Every hunter should
procure his license early to avoid the
rush that often takes place near the
opening of the hunting season. Ii
censes can be procured from the Of
flee. Of the county auditor, or from any
authorized representative.
Observe a land owners rights and
first obtain his permission before at
tempting to hunt upon his lands. This
may save trouble and will tend to pro-
mote better feeling between the
farmers and hunters.
Stick to the bag limit and play the
game in square way. You help your
l'self by so doing.

Notices Of Appeal
Filed in Water Case
By JAMES w. BROOKS

Notices of appeal to the state SUI
preme Court were filed in Prosser last
Saturday by a portion of the plaintiffs,
both in the injunction suit brought
against the Priest Rapids irrigation
district to prevent the sale of district
bonds, and from the order Of the court
confirming all of the steps taken by
the district in the issuance and sale
of it's bonds.
The two actions were tried in a
consolidated case before Judge Leavy
of Spokane, presiding at the time in
the Benton county Superior court, last
July. After the plaintiffs had pre-
sented their case, and before the dis
trict had presented any Of it's direct
testimony, Fred Cunningham, attorney
for the district, moved to have the &C.
ton dismissed on the ground that the
plaintiffs had failed to prove cause
of action and the Court sustained this
motion.
A decree in each case, in favor of the
district, was filed in the Superior
Court in Prosser, August 6, and it is
from these DEGREES that the appeals
are taken.
Only about half of those who APP
peared as plaintiffs in the original &C
ton want to carry the case to the
higher court, according to the names
listed in the notice of appeal.
Those whose names appear in the
appeal notices are j. F. Bleakley
Bleakley Fruit Company, Mr.. and Mrs
B. Salvini, Mr.. and Mrs. w. l.. Enyeart
S. Garsi, Edward Peterson, Mr.. and
Mrs. E. w. Heard, Mr.. and Mrs. w. D.

H H. Boie, Mr.. and Mrs. T. A. Sprat-
| lin Mr.. and Mrs Ben Root, Harriette
Stewart, A. L. Branin and j. w. Stras-
| ser
According to a check of the records
this group represents approximately
600 acres of the 5000 odd acres in the
irrigation district and about $50 acres
of the $500 acres of water right land
At hearing in Spokane last week
Judge Leavy denied the application o.
plaintiffs for supersedeas bond, which
means that the district directors may
if they wish, issue and sell the bonds
voted by the landowners in the dis
trict last spring. Judge Leavy also
reduced the districts cost bill for its
costs at the hearing in Prosser in July
from $733 to $158.2O, holding that as il
was an equity case, witness fees coult
not be allowed.
What effect, if any, the appeal vii
have on the districts intention to ac'
quire the irrigation project and i'm.
prove it for the benefit of the land
owners will not be known until thu
officials, attorneys, and others inter
ested get together and decide on {
course Of action.

A LITTLE SATURDAY TALK.

Why Are some volcanoes now cx. tinct when they were once active? Is the interior of the earth cooling
 ''IIarry Albert"
 Scientists have not learned so much about the inside of the earth as we might wish. We live on the surface of huge round ball and know little about the center.
 Compare the earth to a baseball. and we do not know much more about the inside than if there were few holes in the baseball cover, mad we could see string just be- meath.
 Men have drilled holes in the carths crust, but have not gone down great distance. So far ns they have gone, they have found that the rock grows hotter and hotter.
 In many spots on the earth are volcanoes, and these give us inter- cSting facts. Tn it's most simple form, q colcano is a hole in the earths crust through which molten rock Cor lava) boils up. In the course of time. the lava hardens around he hole and forms a cone. There are volcanoes beneath the sea. Islands including many in the Japancse empire, were formed ny eruptions of volcanoes.
 Sometimes lava from volcanoes hardens in the holes or vents" and chokes them. When that happens, there may not be enough pressure from the hot rock beneath to cause an eruption.
 Volcanoes sometimes seem "eX- tinct" for centuries, but suddenly have terrific eruption.
 A good example of that is the trutpion which buried PompeH, Vesuvius was supposed to be dead. Grass and bushes were growing over the crater Then, in the year '79. came an explosion which brought disaster to the people of Pompc!i and IIerculancum.
 Some scientists believe that the earth Is hot clear to the center. Others saw that it may be hot only 20 or 25 miles down.
