TOWN Is TO HAVE NEW
CONCERTED WELL

The White Bluffs Water Works
has entered into contract with H.
H. Smith and Virgil Kern for the
digging of concerted we'll in town.
The wood curbing in the present
we'll, dug several years ago, is show
ing signs of serious decay and mig. !
cave in at any time. Water in the old
well was encountered first at depth
of about 16 feet and one set of lag
ging after another was put in to the
ultimate depth of about 30 feet. This
makes the reservoir at the bottom
very small.
The new well is to be sunk near
the old one. Work on it is expected
to begin the last of this week or the
first Of next. The new we'll will be
circular in form and will be the same
size as the irrigation wells dug by
Smith and Kern during the past year
or more

The seventh and eighth grade Kitty
ball team went to Kennewick Saturday
for the annual Benton County Field
Day. The White Bluffs team were the
County Champions last year and went
down with the hope and determination
to repeat their previous performance.
Luck was not with them; so they came
home defeated team.
The first game was with Finley.
White Bluffs won two to one. Kenne-
wick was the next team, but proved
too strong for White Bluffs taking the
game 10 to 4.
The standard kitty-ball diamond is
IS feet; SO when our boys were forced
to play on regulation baseball dia-
rnond, which is 90 feet, they were at a
tremendous disadvantage.
Kenneth Drew won Second place in
the rs yard dash for boys of his age
and now has ribbon to display.
There was a large crowd at the
grounds and everyone seemed to have
pleasant time. The home boys say
they had a very enjoyable time tho they
lost the championship thru no fault of
their own to Kennewick.

AUTHORITIES DISAGREE
OVER DUST STORM ORIGIN

While everyone here is pretty GER
tain that the dust that filled the air
during the wind storm last week came
from the wheat fields in the southern
part Of the Big Bend country, Calf
ornia chemists are contending that it
came from some volcano, as witness
the Associated Press dispatch dated
April 81 at Berkeley:
University of California chemists dis
agreed with the United States weather
bureau in San Francisco as to what
caused the dust storm at sea off the
Pacific cost last week, obscuring the
sun for hours and covering the decks
of steamers with mud.
The chemists informed the Matson
Steamship company, which made the
inquiry and submitted samples of the
dust for analysis, the deposit is vol
canic ash from some volcano in vio-
lent eruption. The bureau in San Fran
cisco said it was doubtless dust from
Oregon and Washington carried to sea
by high winds.
The question of where the volcanic
ash came from remained unanswered.
No volcano is known to be in eruption
within several thousand miles Of the
vicinity of the dust storm, approx
mately 500 miles west of San Fran
cisco.
Professor w. C. Blasdale of the
university chemistry department. said
the ash was not from Alaskan vol
canos as the ash from Alaska is diff
ferent in appearance and composition
from the samples submitted.

a familiar sight to all visitors from
this valley.

FIRST INNING RALLY
WINS FOR WHITE BLUFFS

The White Bluffs ball club emerged
victorious over the Benton City team
on the latter's grounds last Sunday by
score of to2.
The game was featured by the steady
pitching of Gilbert Walker who went
the route for White Bluffs, yielding
only five hits. He was given splendid
support by his team mates, only one
error being made, fly ball that Arno
Krug dropped after hard run in left
field.
White Bluffs start1d right in to put
the game on ice in the first inning
when they scored four runs before a
man was retired. The big punch in this
inning was lusty two Dagger deliver
ed by Jay Montgomery with the bases
full. At this stage the starting pitcher
for Benton City was lifted and Howard
went into the box and stopped the
rally.
White Bluffs scored another run in
the second and two more in the
seventh.
Benton City was held scoreless until
the sixth, when they scored one run
and their second and last run came in
the eighth. In this inning they filled
the bases with only one out. A second
man was retired when the runner on
third attempted to score on short
passed ball and the third out was made
when the batter failed to hit the ball
on an attempted squeeze play.
Benton City has hard, fast dia-
/ nond, laid out on clay bed. Ground
hit balls travel fast but bound true
making them much easier to handle
than on the softer and sander grounds.
Hanford won over Finley Sunday by
score of II to4, at Hanford. Although
he was touched for four runs in the
first inning, Zip Cords pitched the en-
tire game for Hanford and after that
first bad inning held the visitors score
less.
Next Sunday White Bluffs will play
at home with Finley furnishing the op-
position while the Hartford club will
play at Benton City.

of these was a motion to dismiss the
action on the ground that the Superior
Court in Yakima county does not have
jurisdiction. and the other was for a
change of venue to Benton County.
In protesting the motions, Elwood
Hutcheson, one Of the attorneys tor
the plaintiffs, argued that the Chicago,
Milwaukee, St. Paul & Pacific Railroad
Co., was necessary defendant in the
case, and that this company has prop
erty in Yakima county, the Court has
jurisdiction.
In arguing for the motions, Fred J.
Cunningham. attorney for the district,
and /. S. Crawford, Milwaukee railroad
attorney, contended that the railroad
had no direct interest in the case and
was not therefore a proper and neces-
sary party to the suit; that the irriga-
ton district has no property in Yakima
County, and that all of the defendants
live in Benton county.
In asking that the case be dismissed,
the defense also argued that the Yak
ina county court does not have Juris-
diction, on account Of statute provid-
ing that suits against public officials
shall be brought in the county Of their
residence. They contended that the di-
rectors Of the irrigation district are
public officials and that the statute
covers this case.
At the conclusion Of the arguments
Judge Dolph Barnett, in whose court
the case was filed, said he would take
the case under advisement. 1t is ex-
pected he will render his decision with
in the next week or ten days.
Attorneys have agreed that the order
issued when the suit was filed, tenn
porarily restraining the issuance and
sale of the bonds, shall remain in force
until after the motion for a change OF
venue has been disposed of. A trial
date for the case has not yet been set.
Demurrers against the complaint, filed
by defense attorneys, are expected to
be argued at the time of the trial.
