LAST GAME OF SEASON
AT HANFORD NEXT SUNDAY

Because some of the players were
out of town and others indisposed, the
ball game between White Bluffs and
Finley, scheduled to have been played
on the White Bluffs grounds last Sum
day, was called off.
The regular season will be wound
up next Sunday with game between
White Bluffs and Hanford According
to the schedule this game should be
played in White Bluffs but because the
Hanford diamond is in much better
shape it has been decided to play it
there The game is to be called
promptly at 2:30 and as it the last
game of the season, and as these two
teams invariably put on real con-
test, large attendance is anticipated.

Local Club to Hear
Delegates Reports

Next years state convention Of fed
Grated wolnen's clubs will be held IN
Seattle during the day and a half
Immediately preceding the biennial
meeting Of the general federation,
June 1918, according to Mrs D. s..
Wilkinson, who as delegate from the
White Bluffs Woman's Club attended
the state convention in Vancouver last
week, and who returned Friday, en-
thusiastic over club plans for the
coming year.
This years meeting, Mrs. Wilkinson
said, was exceedingly interesting de-.
spite the fact that the attendance of
400 was less than usual. The warmth
of the welcome extended the visitors
by the Vancouver club members and
citizens, she said, more than made up
for the warmth that was lacking in
the weather.
Mrs. Wilkinson continued: ""The
theme of the convention was rs it
well with the child?' A splendid pro-
gram was carried out, the outstanding
address being made by Mrs. Thomas
G.. Winter of the general federation
although many fine speakers were
heard. Mrs. Winter is a California
woman.
Impressive ceremonies marked the
browning of Mrs. Ella HigginsOn as
poet laureate of the state of Wash
ington on Wednesday and the plant
ing of two lovely little fir trees on
the parking strip in front of the Van
couver club house, Thursday one in
memory of George Washington and
one in honor of Mrs. George Norman
Campbell, retiring president OF the
state federation. Tablets with appro-
pirate inscription have already been
prepared and will later be placed on
these trees and fountain donated
by the Vancouver club will stand be-
tween them"
Among the enjoyable features of en-
tertainment provided. Mrs. Wilkinson
said she most enjoyed the music
breakfast given at the Evergreen
hotel Friday morning, during which
a group of Vancouver's talented young
people put on q beautiful Indian pa
geant, Echoes from Vanishing
Race"
A military tea at the Vancouver
barracks was a unique experience for
most of the delegates; at this tea
flowers used in decoration were con-
/ fined to colors of red and white and
blue.
Other pleasant affairs were the re-
Eception for the visitors at the Jtraiol
high school building, where later all
the meetings we're held, and tea al
the old Covington house, now the
women's club house. This was origin
ally built by the Hudson Bay COM
pany for a trading post and was used
in early days as stockade in times
of Indian uprisings.
Mrs. Charles G.. Miller of Tacoma
was elected state president for the
coming year.
Detailed reports of the Vancouver
meeting will be made by Mrs. Wtlkin-
son and Mrs. McFee, the two dele
gates from this club at a meeting in
the assembly room of the Lutheran
church Wednesday, evening, July l, at
which it is hoped that all members will
be present.

 Twenty of the 105 magnetic sta tions occupied during the year were in Alaska. The object of the mag netic work during the first half of the year was to complete the oc- cupation of repeat stations select ed stations where observations are repeated at fiveyear intervals in order to determine the change Of the earth's magnetism with lapse of time. The results will appear in Magnetic Declination in Alaska in 1930." A number of stations which had ceased to be available were replaced to meet the needs of lOcal surveyors.
 Continuous photographic records of variations of the magnetic ele- mentS were made at the five mag netic observations of the Coast and Geodetic Survey, which includes the one at Sitka. Auroral observa- tions were also continued at Sitka Magnetic information was furnish ed the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines at Fairbanks, in connection with the auroral pro- gram at that institution establish ed through a grant from the Rocke- feller Foundation.
 Thanks to the helpful coopera- tion of the Bureau of the Budget and the Congress, the increase in funds for seismology permits a steady advance in this compara- lively new field. The work is be- coming more and more directed to- ward obtaining results of value to those who live in regions subject to strong earthquakes. and eSpec- ially to engineers and architects who must design buildings and other structures. There has been no neglect, however, of the scien- tific side of the work AS result of increased cooperation in the re- porting of earthquakes, the record Is far more complete than ever be- fore. Records of other than local minor earthquakes have been con- tinued to be obtained at the ob- scervatories at Sitka, Alaska, and Tucson, Ariz., at Honolulu, in CO., operation with the University of Hawaii, and at Chicago, H., in CO., operation with the University of Chicago. Preparations have been completed to install new instru- ments at Sitka and at the interna- tional latitude observatory at Uk- iah, Calf.
