aRARN is SAVED
IN DAIRY FIRE
Milk House and Dwelling
Burn Completely; Ser
vice is Continued

Fro broke out Monday about II
.,,lock at the Rowland and Leon
.srd Dairy in East Kennewick, and
hon discovered the milk house
Nd the rear of the dwelling house
-. a mass of flames. The build
mos were completely wiped out
excepting the barn.
II is believed the cause of the
.,;re was from the explosion of a
heller in the milk house, and the
flames rapidly spread thru the
tindling dry structures to the
nearby dwelling and garage.
The delivery car was backed up
n the door of the milk house and
the family car was in the garage
and were moved, out thru the
flames, with only the loss of a
tire and scorched top.
The fire department answered
the call and supplied large squad
Of fighters, but due to the lack of
a sufficient supply of water the
fighting was confined to keeping
the flames from spreading to the
nearby barn.
A salvage line was quickly or
gsnized to save food stored in the
cellar of the burning house and
the furniture and most of the
clothing Of the family was saved,
before the heat and danger be-
came too great.
The loss is partially covered by
insurance. The dairy machinery
was complete loss, but by four
o'clock a full equipment of dairy
machinery was on the place and in
temporary location ready to take
care of the evening delivery on
schedule. As soon as the debris
was cool, workmen began clearing
away and rebuilding milkhouse
and the reconstruction of the 9th
er buildings viii start soon.

 Tomorrow. CSunday) the Catho- lie children of S. Jaseph's church will be confirmed as will be the children of the various missions when I reach them.
 Our Missions airplane will arrive in August. piloted by Brother Geo. Feltes and co-pilot Bro. Le Payn. The plane is to take the place of the one that was destroyed last year a kutzebue when Father De Long. Father Walsh and Aviator Ralph Wien, became martyrs to their faith and duty.
 The fathers and I are conyinc- ed that the use of the airplane is an absolute necessity for the var ious missions to keep in contact and also for the superior of the missions to visit the outlying sec tions and 10 satisfactorily conduct and increase their activities.
 If the plane had come earlier, Father Hubbard. the well known "Glacier Priest" and volcano ex- plorer. would have avatled him self of the opportunity of trayell- ing via that means, as we are. de sirous of imperishably portray ying through the movies, not alone the activities of the missions and their benign influence upon native life, but also the activities of this section as it is, including the prim itive activities of the Eskimo.

Measure Would Protect Widows
 And Children
Under Present Arrangement on Death of Retired Officer Pension Ceases and Family Is Left to Shift-New Measure, By Positive Wage Percenage Diversion, Would Protect Family

A vote to test the popularity of the proposed widows pension bill with members of the Waterbury po- lice department was taken to-day
 The results will be known at 8 o. clock this evening when the night platoon has completed it's part in casting ballots. There is a strong sentiment in the protective features that the bill offers, but as it means an assessment of about one per cent of an officers salary, there may be some opposition. It is not the amount of the assessment which is likely to prove a deterrent, but rather the fact that it would be an additional expense on top of other forms of in- surances that the members have.
 Under present arrangements a member of the police or fire depart ment from private to chief receives one-half of his salary at the time of his retirement, whether it is due to disability or completion of the re- quired years of service. In event of death his widow receives a reward through the office of the compensa- tion commissioner. At the death of a. retired member. the pension, which is granted without one penny of expense to the beneficiary, stops. It carries no allowance for the

Comedy Hit, ''Thc COhens and Kellys in Africa, Opens Run at Strand This Afternoon.

Easily the outstanding screen achievement of those celebrated funsters, Charlie Murray and George Sidney, "The Cohens and Kellys in Africa" opened at the Warner Bros Strand theater this afternoon to an enthusiastic audience.
 The riotous comedy introduces Cohen and Kelly as piano manufac- turers whose business is at the point of ruin because of shortage of real ivory for their piano keys. Meeting pseudo-explorer who paints a glowing picture of veritable moun- tains of ivory in Africa, Cohen and Kelly decide to finance an expedition to the Dark Continent" with the explorer, "Windjammer Thorn" as leader.
 The inimitable comedians become involved in almost every conceivable tangle on their memorable expedi- tiOn including the loss of their wives. The screen play follows their esca- pades from the time they leave the boat at Mombasa, over the veldt and through jungles until their departure
