Heavy Rains Ruin
Yakima Cherry Crop

Light showers fell in this valley
over the week md, the first precipi-
tation in the last six weeks or more.
While the rainfall here was light, the
upper Yakima valley was drenched
Sunday night with heavy downpour
approaching cloudbursts between va
kima and Ellensburg and Monday af-
ternoon in the hills west of the Mey
boor place on the White Bluffs-Ya
kima road. Residents of this valley
returning from Yakima Monday even
ing found that part of the road in
bad shape with low places filled with
water and spring torrents rushing
down the ravines.
While Yakima residents were re-
joicing over the increased supply in
the reservoirs caused by the rains,
cherry growers in that district were
viewing the downpour from an entire
ly different angle. The rain split the
cherries so badly that only a portion
of the crop was marketable. The peak
of the cherry harvest in the Yakima
valley was reached Monday so that
the damage was extensive.
The rainfall on the east side of the
Columbia river was light. The condi-
ton of the wheat was such, however,
that it is doubtful if even a heavy
rain would have done much good, al
though some benefits are claimed by
the Wilbur and Ritzville sections.
A heavy downfour for about two
hours Tuesday night just about made
the crop in the Othello- Warden coun-
try where the wheat was in much bet
ter shape than in the territory further

Ringold Is to

Connections
NINE MILE EXTENSION IS NOW
BEING BUILT FROM
EAST HANFORD

The Columbia River Telephone
company has construction crew busy
this week building the Hanford- Rim
gold extension to the local system.
The extension is nine miles long,
starting near the Wurtz place at East
Hanford and extending down the
river to the new ranch being improved
by S. Yoshinaka Taking the land In
its raw state this spring, Mr.. Yoshin-
aka has made remarkable progress in
bringing it under cultivation. The
crops set out this year are principally
vegetables and include sweet corn, po-
tatoes onions cabbage carrots, beets,
lettuce, spinach, radishes. beans and
peas sizeable plot being devoted to
each vegetable. AS more land is
brought under cultivation the produce
from this ranch annually will amount
to considerable tonnage.
Mr.. Wilkinson said he hoped to
have the new extension line completed
this week. The poles for the new line
were hauled out of Ethiopia last Sat-
urday.

Ball Club Loses Both
Ends of Double header

Displaying just the opposite form in
the double header at Benton City last
Sunday that they did the preceding
Sunday at Finley, the White Bluffs
ball club dropped both games, the
scores being to and IA to g.
Both gamer were seven inning af-
fairs. Walker, who started in the box
for White Bluffs, was unable to get
the side out in the first inning of the
first game and was relieved by Wag-
ner, who finished out that contest and
also pitched the second game. Howard
pitched, both games for Benton City.
The whole White Bluffs club had a
general off day. Their fielding was
below par and they could not hit con-
secutively and the final outcomes In
both contests were never in doubt.
White Bluffs has two more games
to finish out the schedule, both on
their home grounds. Next Sunday they
play Finley and finish up the season
against Hanford.

Last Of 1880 Apple
Crop Being Rolled

The last of the 1880 apple crop in
the Yakima valley is expected to be
shipped out this week, the total num-
Der of cars in storage last Sunday be-
ing $50. This marks the largest season.
al movement in this fruit ever known
in the history Of the Yakima valley,
says the Yakima Herald.
The seasons total for the Yakima
district, which includes Benton coun-
ty, will be approximately 1890 cars,
or 1870 cars more than in the previous
record year of 1928 when the district
marketed 5000 cars.
Records running back to 1920 re-
veal the interesting fact that for the
period of 1920 to 1925, years Of light
crops, were each followed by season
of heavy production. Large crops were
produced in the oddnumbered years,
and light crops were produced in the
even-numbered years.
This alternate year bearing, due
chiefly to frost, was broken in 1926
when the valley came back with a
sizeable crop, but since then alternate
light and heavy annual production
has been the rule with the odd-num-
bered years giving light crops and the
even-numbered years large crops.
The apple shipments in the last II
seasons have been: 1920, 9125 cars;
1921, 1874; 1922, 9345; 1923, 1885,
1924, 8574; 1925 1860; 1925, 14,075;
1927, 11,663 1928, 1901; 1929, 12,717;
and 1880, 1890.

Perennial Weed Display
In Post Office Lobby

A perennial weed display, being
made by the County Extension Agent,
is now on exhibit in the lobby of the
White Bluffs postoffice.
The samples of weeds displayed, in
the main, are perennial root stock
weeds which spread by seed and root
and, of course, from year to year.
Every grower in the community
should look over this exhibit SO that
he may be able to identify the weeds
before they get start on his farm.
Many farmers of the county are now
fighting from one to five of these
weeds over an area ranging from a
quarter of an acre to an acre in ex-
tent. They should be controlled before
they spread.
For detailed instructions on control
measures, get in touch with your coun-
ty extension agent, E. G. Durdle, at
Kennewick.
The exhibit will be on display at
White Bluffs one week and will then
be moved to Hanford.

Traveller Tells of
Trip To Va1ley

This valley had it's place in trav-
elogue story written by Carl Cleve-
land and published last Thursday in
the Wenatchee Daily World. The story
was written by Mr.. Cleveland on a
trip he recently made down the Co
lumbia river from Wenatchee through
Vantage, Beverly, White Bluffs and
Hanford and on to Prosser and back
by way of Yakima, Ellensburg and
Blewett Pass.
The story was accompanied by two
cuts, one showing the Kitty Grant,
Wahluke ferry boat upon which the
trip was made across the Columbia
river from the Grant county to the
Benton county side, and the other,
picture Of Federal Avenue in White
Bluffs. Under this latter cut was the
following explanatory paragraph:
"The main street of White Bluffs
busy trading center of rapidly de-
veloping fruit center on the Column
bia river. The White Bluffs-H anford
district has a distinct advantage in
the early ripening of it's fruits, allow
ing it to reach the early high-priced
markets. White Bluffs derives it's
name from the greyish-white color
of the perpendicular banks of the
river at this point"

High Water Peak Is
Reached in Columbia

The Columbia river which has been
rising steadily for some time from it's
record low mark of last winter, appar-
emily reached it's peak Wednesday,
when it ceased to rise. For some little
time it had been rising at the rate of
about six inches every "a hours, but
has been at a standstill since Wednes-
day noon according to the measuring
gauge at the pumping plant at Coyote
Rapids. Should this prove the high
mark, the peak this year will be about
six inches under that of 1880. The high
mark then was also reached on June
II. The river this year has carried
very little drift wood,

New Concerted
Well in Town
Is Finished
ATTEMPT MAY BE MADE TO
DRILL THROUGH CLAY
FOR SECOND FLOW

Smith and Kern have finished the
new concerted town well and had
hoped to have the pump and motor
transferred from the old to the new
well and connected up with the water
mains of the distributing system this
week but delay in securing pipe fit
tings may slow up this work.
The new we'll is SO feet deep, about
eight feet lower than the old well.
From tests made with the deepening
pump, it is estimated that the sup
ply of water will be about twice what
it was in the old well. If this amount
can be maintained it is believed the
supply will be sufficient for the town
needs for some time to come.
Clay was encountered nj one corner
at the bottom of the new well and
the east side of the concrete curbing
rests on this formation.
This clay is sort of shale and re-
sembles very much the formation that
capped the artesian flow in the Cold
Greek district. This condition has en-
couraged some to believe that artesian
water might be found here, or at
least that good flow OF soft water
below the clay might be tapped.
An attempt along this line would
not be difficult task, as it is claimed
good drilling rig could go down 40
or so feet day in the clay. BY using
piece of iron casting at the start,
the hole could be sunk in the bottom
of the new we'll without interfering
with the present flow.
The proposition of drilling a test
hole will probably be put up to the
water users in town and if a salts
factory contract with a driller can be
made, it is possible the experiment
will be tried out this fall.

Unmarried Men

This was real ball game The
young fellows did not think the old
timers could come back, but they did
in fine form.
On account of under training, the
married men used two pitchers Levi
Austin and Keith Brooks. They both
were invincible. The young genera
ton just could not hit them out Of
the diamond. If they got man on
first they were agreeably surprised.
Winston Brown was on the slab for
the unmarried men and he had very
nice outcurve but the old timers got
on to him in the first inning for six
runs, nearly every man hitting either
three Dagger or home run. The
final score was, married men, IL;
unmarried, z.
Tom Sigurdson was taken out of the
game in the second inning on account
of a sprained knee, Chef MCGEE taking
his place. Rod Knaub undertook to
steal home and in sliding into the
plate, sprained his foot, and Elton
Meeker substituted for HIM.
Mr.. Clark of Priest Rapids umpired
the game and he handled the job like
an old veteran, his decisions standing
without question.

The year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Alex Brain of Priest Rapids while
playing in the yard at his home Tues
day found a bottle which had been
used in filling the gas lamps in the
| house and in some manner managed
7 tos inl1ale the fumes through the felt
strainer on the top. He was uncon-
scious when discovered. An emetic
hastily administered brought temper
airy relief and Mr.. Brain, who had
been summoned from his work, took
the babe with his mother to Yakima.
BY the time they reached there, how
ever, the effect had to great degree
worn off and he was brought home
again, physicians pronouncing the
only danger to be a possible attack of
pneumonia following the effect of the
gas fumes on the chi1d's lungs.
Fred Knaub took his brother Rod to
Ellensburg Monday to have an X-ray
taken of his foot in an effort to de-
termine the extent of the injury. Mrs.
o. w. Brown rendered first aid by
applying the bandages.
Beverly Nichols went up to Rock
Island Monday to see the dam. He
was accompanied by John McCon-
nachie.
