NEWS FROM NEIGHBOR|NG TOWNS

ride Case was in radio communication
with the ground forces at Portland,
the last time being at 1904 a. m. over
Camas from where he reported he was
turning back because of dense fog.
Three minutes later he struck Bluff
mountain, travelling 90 feet second.
Blinded by the fog, Case did not
realize the strong wind from the
south was driving him north into the
mountains as he circled for a return
to Portland.
Case was born in Minnesota but
moved to Oregon while a boy. He
entered the Army Flying Service in
1917 and from March, 1918, to Au-
gust, 1918, he was flying instructor
at Issoudon, France. From August,
1918, to January, 1919, he was a
member of the 93rd Aero Pursuit
Squadron.
He was credited with bringing down
three enemy planes while in combat
He himself was shot down by an
enemy plane over the Toul sector but
escaped with minor injuries. -Pasco

LEWIS RlXIE PASSES AWAY
IN PASC0 HOSPITAL

Lewis Rixie passed away Monday
in the hospital at Pasco where he
had been taken a. few days previou-
sly by County Commissioner Ira c..
Hawley for medical treatment.
The exact cause of death was un-
determined but is believed to have
been due to the after effects of a
bad case of the flu which he suffer-
ed earlier in the winter. The fun
eral was held in Kennewick We'd
nesday.
Not much is known of Mr.. Rix-
les life before he came to White
Bluffs about two years ago but pa
pars found among his personal eff
fects indicate that he carried some
life insurance and it is possible
that through these his relatives
may be reached. Shortly after he
came here he purchased from Mrs
M. M. Heath the old Harry Show
ers place near the old townsite
where he has since made his home

OUTLOOK INFORMATION
DAIRY

An outlook sheet from Washing
ton D. c. has just been received
which contains information which
we feel will be of interest to dairy
farmers. We are sorry that we can J.
not print this entire article but 1t
is too Lengthy and shall try to give
the essential points in the article.
Creamery butter production for
December was 10000, 900 pounds, a
record for December. This was pro-
baby due to the mild winter plus an
attempt of farmers to at least Sc
cure cash income which the dairy
offers. With such situation prevail
ing and consumption below normal,
stocks of dairy products remain
heavy. Butter in storage on January
LIST amounted to 100000 pounds
some 100000 pounds below last
years stock but almost 100000
pounds above the five year average
More or less the same situation
true for cheese and canned milk. Con-
sumption of all products except cam

OF Interest to Farmers
(Bv Cou,,ty Agent e. C. Durdle)

ned milk seems to have decreased.
Inevitable result of conditions such
as the foregoing is that prices have
not only failed to recover from the
low level which prevailed in De-
cember, but in some cases have gone
lower. There was, of course, recent
increase in prices on the Pacific
coast. While returns from the sale
of milk and cream are low, this is
a time when the relative profitable
ness of dairying, compared with
other farm enterprises is the factor
which will largely influence pro0uc-
ton trends with better adjustment of
production and consumption should
come a more favorable price situa-
ton.
SHEEP.
The 1881 outlook for sheep and
wool does not differ materially from
that of other basic agricultural pro-
duction. All seem to be linked In
separately with the trend and de-
velopments in business and industrial
activities. All of these combined have
been down to distressingly low levels

No Bond
Election Held
Last Saturday
Protest Petition I'm Ex-
clusions Raises Tech
nical Question

The election advertised to be held
last Saturday on the question ct
whether the land owners within the
Priest Rapids Irrigation District
should auJhor.ze the lssu ince of bonds
in the sum of $125,00O, was called off
Friday evening by the board on the
advice of Fred Cunningham, attorney
for the district.
The filing with the board of q writ
ten petition signed by Mr.. and Mrs,
Theodore A. Spratlen, Mr.. and Mrs,
H. H. Boie, Mr.. and Mrs. w. L. En-
yeart, Paul Kolar and C. H. Snyder.
at the meeting Tuesday, protesting
against granting any of the petitions
for exclusions, raised technical
question that might have affected
the legality of the bond election and
while the question was not considered
very serious, four or five months
might have been wasted in threshing
it out in the courts. Rather than
cause this delay and run up an un-
necessary expense, Mr.. Cunningham
advised the Irrigation District
Board to call off the election sched-
uled for last Saturday and to call an
exclusion election and not to adver-
tise another bond election until the
exclusions have been disposed of. This
advice was given after consultation
with those who are to do the financ-
ing for the district.
All Of this means that the district
will not now have time to get itself
in financial shape to bid on the irri-
cation properties if they are sold OH
February 81, as now advertised, to
protect the trust feature of the de-
cree, and so far as the settlers here
generally know no one else will be
ready and willing to make such
bid, rumors and vague and unsub-
Stimulated promises to the contrary
Notwithstanding.
If the properties are sold on the
21st and there is nc one there to bid
on proposition number one, which
would protect the trust feature and
preserve to the settlers the water
rights for which they have fought
for 15 years, the eight people who
signed the protest petition which pre-
vented the district being able to bid
at that time, will stand in position
of grave responsibility to the COM
munity.
While the present situation is SER
rious, it is believed way may be
found to meet the new contingency
and those in closest touch with it
feel quite confident and hopeful that
this can be done.

LARGE new Development
UNDERTAKEN AT RINGOLD

One Of the largest new develop
ments being undertaken In this dis
trict this spring is at Ringold where
s. Yoshinaka, Japanese, has 100
acres fleveled and plowed and ready
for crop.
Yoshinaka acquired title to about
500 acres about two miles down the
river from Nagels' and moved his
family over from Seattle last Nov
ember.
He plans to specialize in the grow.
ing of vegetables, although a good
portion of the acreage ready for crop
this year will be seeded to alfalfa. His
plans, he says, also include the build
ing of a good sized dollhouse for
vegetable growing in the winter and
early spring.
The soil en- the place is deep and
unusually good. and slopes gently to-
ward the river, which makes it
ideal for irrigating. Water for ir-
rigation will be pumped from the
river with a so horsepower electric
motor. The highest lift will be so
feet, although much of the place is
below this level.
An effort is being made to have the
produce raised by Yoshinaka shipped
out through Hanford. His farm lays
about nine miles down the river
from the Hanford ferry and there is
good road all the way, while with
the present roads the distance to
Pasco is about forty miles.
Yosl1iraka, Nagel, and some of
the others along the river in that
territory have asked the Columbia
River Telephone company to extend
its system from the east side of the
river at Hanford to the Yoshinaka
place. This would mean the building
of a new line approximately nine
miles long. Mr.. Wilkinson made
trip down there Monday and says
his company will build the line if they
can be assured of sufficient business
to justify the investment

Rising Price of Butterfat
Looks Bad for Depression

Old Man Depression received a
knockout" blow the past week when
the price of Butterfat jumped from
10 cents to 26 cents.
1t was the accepted opinion, gen.
orally, that butterfat could not con-
tinue to be cheaper than axle grease
very long.
Chris Van Belle seemed to get a
'lSick" out of telling the story, that
for the first time in the history Of
the Yakima Valley, butterfat was
priced below the cost of axle grease.
It was a fact, nevertheless.
With bill at Olympia for 15c
tax on butter substitutes manufac-
tured from vegetable oils, butterfat
may soon come back into its own,
and the old price of 40 to so cents
soon will prevail. --Sunnyside Sun.

Tells Story of How
Pilot Case Met His Death

Funeral services for Walter Case
SO, who was killed instantly Thurs
day morning, Jan. % when his mai
plane crashed into the side of Badly
Mountain IL miles from Washougal
were held in Portland Monday at.
ternoon. The body of the dead pi.
lot was brought ..ut Friday, Janu.
ary 80 after his plane had been dis.
C vered two days previously wreck.
ed on the mountain side by A.
Davis, another Varney mail pilot
on his regular Pasco-P Portland flight
It was with extreme difficulty thai
the rescue party reached the plane
and brought out the body after ct
hours struggle thru deep snow anc
bitter winds.
Case was found seated in an up
right position in the cockpit.
His head, helmeted and goggled
hung forward, silently telling of the
death impact against the instrument
board. Pierced by the cold mountain
air, his right hand, which had so safe
1y guided him through the Columbia
gorge for months, lay stiff in his lap
a few inches from the stick.
An examination revealed that prac-
tically all the larger bones in his body
were shattered, indicating his ship
struck the base of the mountain with
tremendous force.
The body, however, was not mutt
lated. There was severe bruise on
the forehead where he had struck the
instrument board, and physicians said
this blow alone probably would have
caused death.
The plane was so badly smashed
that It was burned where it had lain
concealed from searchers until Pilot
AL Davis, Varney flyer, located it
late Wednesday afternoon.
The upright position of the body
in the cockpit confirms the opinion
Of aeronautical authorities that he
was flying entirely by instrument and
probably had his head buried in the
pit-eyes glued to the instruments
when the crash occurred.
Pilot Case never reached eastern
Washington on his Inflated flight
with ESQ pounds of east-bound air
mail for Pasco.
It was exactly 81 minutes from the
time he left Swan Island airport at
Portland until he crashed blindly into
Bluff mountain, near Washougal.
The impact of the crash stopped
the clock on the instrument board OF
his Boeing Abba passenger mail plane
at 1907 a. m. His flight report out OF
Swan Island shows departure at
s 80 o'clock.

SCIENTISTS WIRES CROSSED
SAYS SPOKESMAN READER

An alleged scientist from France
is in the country trying to raise funds
for making rocket (wonder if he
spells it with an AZ to make a trip
to and around the moon, returning
same route. The professor says he is
qualified to make the trip himself but
modestly will wait for the next car,
sending the first one by itself. It is
to carry instruments for recording
heat, cold, light, air pressure and
the cost of high living. besides taking
motion pictures of the "frigid or un-
known side" of the moon. He doesn't
tell us how smashup is to be avoided
when this unchaperoned projectile
makes landing on the earth at ap-
proximately 20 miles per second.
In these days of marvellous dis
coveries and inventions, it behooves
one to be careful how he condemns
seemingly impossible things, but
whoever originated this dream showed
woeful ignorance of the natural
laws governing the accelerations
of falling bodies, and also of the
most elementary astronomy.
The. moon has no "frigid side" II
presents the same side to the earth
all the time, but turns on its axis in
about 81 days, making its day
about twenty-nine times as long as

known side" gets the daylight during
the dark of the moon.

name implies-a visit to the kitchens
of several women each one of which
has one or more good features that
you may be able to use in your
own kitchen. Inasmuch as these
features are, with few exceptions,
the result of amateur work, done
by the man of the house or some
other member of the household, it
goes without saying that the men
should be interested in attending
this tour as well as the women.
Lunch will be eaten at the home

family will bring it's own plates, cups,
forks and spoons, sandwiches and
a dish to pass. The Junior Woman's

scored and suggestions will be made
for improving it. Although Mr.. and
Mrs. Soden do not plan to improve
their kitchen at present, they are
anxious to know what may be done
to make it more convenient. so that
when the times comes, they will konw
exactly what to do. Lunch will be
