WHO LOST A DoG9

The News-Record, office force, ana
all has been adopted by small, 100
percent dog. He is black, white and
tan; rough coated; well-behaved;
chases all the cars and garage men
that pass the office; is gentle with
children and we all like him i'm
mensely, but feel that probably some
one is missing the little fellow and
would be glad to have him back. He
came to us last Monday. If you know
of anyone losing such dog ask them
to call this office and we will return
their pet.

Was that we watched the changes
To see the curtain "lift.'

"A special meeting of the Commercial

of White Bluffs, that the club under
write the building of an open air dance
pavilion in town. 1t was proposed that

material and assist in the building Of
the pavilion with the understanding
that the orchestra would donate it's
service in playing for dances until the
pavilion was paid for After this was
done it would be owned jointly by the
club and the orchestra. 1t was hoped
that later the material might be used
by the club as the nucleus for a COM

the proposal was discussed at length
but the club decided that for num-

for it to participate in the venture.
"A vote of thanks was extended to the
orchestra for the offer and some of
the members of the club announced
their willingness to cooperate with the
musicians by offering their individual
financial support in the building Of a

Seaplane on Way to
Wenatchee Flies Over

A seaplane that flew north over this
valley last Friday attracted the inter-
est of a number of residents here. It
was learned that the plane was being
used by a group of Sand Point, Idaho,
folks in tour of eastern Washington
to advertise the water regatta that is
to be held near that city the fore
part of August. They were in Pasco
Thursday night and were on their way
to Wenatchee when they were sighted
here.
The party was made up of Cliff
Reem manager of the tour, Miss Dor
othea Bishop, Queen Of Northern Ida
no, and her attendants, the Misses
Dagmar Reem, Florence Walls, and
Regina Dubois with Pilot Verne Eli ncssgss'
walter at the controls
The seaplane has pontoons and can
land only in water, which explains why
in their flight from Pasco to Wenat-
chez they were following closely the
course of the Columbia river.
Mrs. l.. A. Codding said the seaplane
passed almost directly over her home.
1t was flying only a few hundred feet
high and the words Sand Point
painted on the under side of the plane,
were plainly visible.
