Two Are Cleared
Of Robbery Charge

M. H. Nagel, 35, a nephew of j. w.
Nagel, manager of the Ballygreen Farm
in the In-B-Tween, and Glenn Grish-
am, %, of White Bluffs, were cleared of
charge of robbery at a hearing in
the Superior Court at Ellensburg,
Wednesday, November 16.
The. hold4p occurred near Easton on
the Snoquaimie Pass highway about
10 o'clock Sunday night, October 81,
the victim being resident of Outlook.
The two young men had left White
Bluffs that afternoon in a car owned
by young Grisham, on their way to
McMurray, in Skagit county They
made short stops in both Yakima AMI
Enllensburg, leaving the latter city a
little after 10 p. m. When they reached
North Bend they were picked up by
a patrolman and charged with the
holdup. Unfortunately they had with
them about the same amount of cash
the victim claimed to have lost and,
in addition, young Grisham had two
pistols and shotgun in his suit case.
They were first taken to Seattle and
returned the next day to Ellensburg,
where the victim identified them as
the men who had robbed him.
At the trial they were able to prove
by number of witnesses that they
did not leave Ellensburg until 10
o'clock the night of the holdup and
could not possibly have been at Easton
at the time the crime was committed.
The victim of the holdup, who was
the principal prosecuting witness, failed
to appear at the trial and the Court,
after hearing the testimony offered,
dismissed the case before it went to
the jury.
Nagel returned to Ballygreen Farm
but Grisham went on to McMurray.
Nagel was member of the Bonus
Army at Washington, D. c. last win
ter and was the first of that body of
men to apply for transportation home
when Congress made an appropriation
for that purpose.

Yakima River Salt
Content Below Average

According to Carl Larson, Irrigation
Specialist at the Irrigation Branch Ex-
pertinent Station at Prosser the total
salt content of water samples taken
from the Sunnyside Canal and the
Yakima river was determined at week
ly intervals throughout the season.
The concentration fuctuated consider
able but periodic trends are shown. The
samples taken between April 30 from
the Sunnyside Canal bordering the
Experiment Station show that the to-
tai salt content ranged from 83 to SO
parts per million. This represents a
period when snow was melting and
some surface runoff in the mountains
was still feeding the Yakima River.
From May 5 to June Is concentration
shows a steady decline from 30 to 81
parts per million. For the remainder
of the season the average salt content
was about 80 parts per million. From
April q to May % the salt content of
the Yakima River increased gradually
from 1902 to 139 parts per million.
From May % until August 81 the con-
centration increased steadily up to 327
parts per million, or more than three
times that found on April a. The rea-
son for this is that the drainage water
returned to the river from the irri-
gated lands inceases the salt content.
During the major portion of the irri-
cation season there is no water escap-
ing the diversion dam at the entrance
Of the Sunnyside Canal. Therefore,
water at Prosser is almost entirely
drainage water. The drainage water
in a Sunnyside drain ditch last year
showed approximately 500 parts per
million total salt This concentration
is naturally diluted by water of less
concentration in the river.
The salt content of the irrigation
water of the Yakima River is very low
compared to irrigation districts in the
southwestern part of the United
States.

Power Wheels at Priest
Rapids Being Repaired

Two men with teams and scrapers
have been at work for the past week
leveling up the bottom OF the lower
part of the power canal at Priest Rap
ids. The formation in that part OF
the canal is gravel that had become
rough and uneven and that somewhat
retarded the steady flow of water.
A temporary pump has been In
stalled at the plant to furnish water
for the railroad tank while the power
plant is shut down.
Work has also been started IN re-
pairing the turbines at the plant, the
district board having decided that 1T
would be more economical at this time
to repair them than to purchase new
wheels.
The power canal, from the power
house to the upper end is about two
miles long and the levels and cross
sections have all been taken. The first
1900 feet up from the power house
is largely gravel formation and is all
completed down to grade. The upper
part of the canal is mostly basaltlc
formation and considerable part OF 1T
is not down to grade. A good deal OF
drilling and blasting will have to be
done in this section but it has not been
determined just how much of this can
be undertaken at this time.

Congressman Elect Hill
Urges No Crowding
To Residents Of Fourth Congressional
District:

To Residents of. Fourth Congressional
District:
I do not wish to shirk any service
or responsibility in connection with
my recent election to Congress, but in
view of the fact that very many APP
plications in person, by mail and other
wise, have been coming to Prosser /
desire to make the following statement:
It should be clear that 1 am your
Congressman ELECT and not your Con-
gresham, and that do not take Office
before March 4th, 1888. Until that time
I have no authority whatever.
The positions within my jurisdiction
are federal and not state, and 1 will
give consideration to federal positions
only.
None of these positions for which
endorsement is sought will become va
cant until a year or more from now.
At the present time it is both unnec-
essary and inconvenient to consider
any applications. Just prior to the va
cancy I shall be glad to consider every
application on it's merits.
I have again been appointed temper
airy Lecturer of the State Grange and
for the next two months will be en-
gagged throughout the state in that
service. During that period my whole
time belongs to that organization.
Sincerely,
KNUTE HILL,
Prosser, Wash.

NEMURO, Japan, Sept. "a
Eichiro Baba, japanese pilot at
tempting nonstop fight of 2,67O
miles from Sabishiro Beach to
Nome, Alaska, passed over Nemuro
at 9:o6 a. m. today (7:06 p. m. Fri
day eastern Standard Time), flying
against decreasing headwinds.
1t was estimated that the Japan
ese f1ier would reach Nome, his first
projected stop in a flight from Toxic
to Oakland, Cal, in thirty-o one hours,
if he maintained the speed he set
between Toxic and Nemuro.
Baba's route leads across the

He is accompanied by Kyoshi HON.

ardous journey to the Alaskan coast,
he planned to move in easy stages
to Fairbanks, Whitehorse and Oak

SET BUDGET HEARING
Schools Tax Levy Session
Scheduled Monday.

Public hearing on the 1928
budget and tax levy Of the public
schools will be held at noon Mon
day.
The hearing originally was set for
Sept. Is, and was started at that
time, being continued until Monday
because of the large number of per-

tionS.
At that time, board members
asked that those having suggestions
submit them in writing before the
meeting Monday.
The school budget has been set at
$6,535. .481, a reduction of 1857 900
over the previous budget. However,
because of an 18 per cent assessed
valuation reduction, and increased
tax delinquency, it is necessary to
increase the levy from 81 to $1.087.
