No Zero Weather.
Was Recorded
In January
COMPARATIVELY MILD TEMPER
ATURES BUT STORMS MAKE
MONTH SEEM COLDER

In spite of It's generally wintry as
poets, January was month of COM
paratively moderate temperatures, ac-
Observer Gabriel Jaddan of Wahluke.
The warmest day was on the 18th
with maximum temperature of 60
degrees and the coolest on the 18th
when the thermometer registered 9
degrees above zero. The greatest daily
range was Al degrees.
A total of 5A inches of snow fell
during the month, which, reduced to
moisture, amounted to As of an inch.
There were Z clear days during Janu-
airy, 10 were cloudy and partly so.
The report noted blizzard on Satur-
day and Sunday, January 80 and 81.
Mr.. Jaddan says that the Wahluke
thermometer registered a minimum
temperature of degrees below zero
on Monday, February 1, and below
on Tuesday.
The recent snowfall has had a
smaller water content than snow which
came earlier in the season, according
to E. H. Jones of the weather bureau
at Yakima. The new snow averaged
10 per cent moisture while the ordinary
snow in this part of the country will
run between IS and 40 per cent water
content, he said.
Practically every ferry on the Col
lumbia in this part of the state has
hQQn tiod 1oa fit,ct of a
week, either because of shore ice, floe
ice or ice jams in the river
There are ice jams extending clear
across the river at both White Bluffs
and Wahluke. The ice crust on top
at White Bluffs has become we'll knit
ted and was strong enough Tuesday
to sustain the weight of Wesley Rob-
bins, who crossed on foot.
The jam at Wahluke is piled eight
or ten feet high and is an imposing
sight. This jam extends several miles
up the river to a point some distance
above the pumping plant at Allard
The river below the jam, except for
shore ice, is open and Henry CLAM
man, ferryman, has been carrying the
Wahluke mail across in row boat but
says that if the cold weather con-
tinues and the top crust becomes
firmer he may decide to make the trips
across afoot on the ice.
The government thermometer at
Hanford, according to T. DeLacy Moi
fatt, showed the following readings
for the past week:

Church Goers Will Honor
Washington's Memory

When America goes to church on
the three days preceding George Wash
ington's birthday this year, it will be
to open "unofficially" a celebration
never paralleled in all history-a cele-
bration in which those who participate
will honor themselves in doing honor
to nations founder.
Officially scheduled to open February
| %, the nationwide Bicentennial Celes
bration of George Washington's birth
will nevertheless be inaugurated unof-
ficially in religious services throughout
the entire country during the three
days just preceding that date. On
Friday, February 10, those whose Sab
bath begins at shutdown on the sixth
day of the week will honor the mem
DRY of Washington in their regular
devotional services. The following day,
Saturday, others will observe the Sab
bath in similar manner, and on Sun
day all other religious groups will hold
divine services paying tribute to the
Father of His Country
AS is pointed out by the United
Sites George Washington Bicenten-
NAL Commission, which has been CO.
operating with and assisting the
churches of the nation as well as all
other groups in preparation for this
great event. these religious services
leading up to the official opening of
the Celebration are most appropriate
Given this devotional aspect to start
with, it will more than ever impress
the American people with the great
principles and motives underlying this
| tribute to the Great American.
With features provided especially for
observance in the home, the school and
the church, the celebration will unite
| America in a far more impressive and
lasting tribute than ever could be ac-
complished by the most spectacular
display of national wealth, power and
achievement. Every person living in
the United States must be impressed
at this time, if never before, with his
debt of gratitude to George Washing
ton. The opportunity is now being
given him to express that gratitude
in national demonstration designed
for the participation of every individu-
al in the country.
The United States Bicentennial
Commission has been in communica-
ton with all of the $4,000 church
groups in the United States, and the
enthusiasm expressed by church lead
ers indicates that all are DESTROYS of
taking an active part in the celebra-
ton.

Richland Games

The local girls upset the dope and
handed the championship Richland
team their first defeat Of the season.
The solid defense and the accurate
basket-eyes of the local team spelled
defeat for the setXette from Richland.
Piling up four point lead in the first
half, the White Bluffs team held the
opposition and finished the struggle
with the score standing 22-18.
The boys game was not the thriller
OF the curtain-raiser, but proved to be
hard, fast game with the White
Bluffs team finding the basket for 20
points and leaving Richland trailing
with 6.

gazing upon IT. And there was sign which
said Horseshoe Inn"
Sounds lucky" the weary traveller mused
Lucky enough to get cup of coffee anyway"
And, turning of the main road, she drove
down the slope
youth came forward as she brought the
car to a stop in front of the broad, shaded
veranda, where lounged half dozen guests
who were rich enough to rise above the hu-
midity of the lower country.
Can 1 take your bags lady?" the young man
asked
For a moment Marie appraised her surround
ings
Yes" she said signing Give me a nice
front room, if you have one--and tell the chef
that he'd better prepare lunch for the National
Guard I'm that hungry
So it happened that Miss Marie Brown
took up her abode on the grassy. tree-fringed
banks of Horseshoe Creek of which that ram
bling log> structure, Horseshoe Inn, is a by
product.
THE place was pleasant. quietly beautiful an
ideal spot for financially fortunate vaca-
tionsts. Yet the roomy veranda, from which
one could gaze on the little lake, held its
petty aversions for the young lady.
The presence of a radiant-and, apparently
unattached-girl, upon whose fair cheeks
bloomed colorfully the beauty OF youth. and
whose person was gracefully symmetrical,
aroused the attention of men; and the doubts,
ill-concealed, of several elderly ladies.
The stronger sex silently applauded Miss
Browns charm with looks more eloquent than
words; and each of them deep in his heart,
hoped that he would be sitting nearest her
on that much-hoped-for day when she es-
sayed to light a cigarette and had no match
The girl observed all this from the corner
of blue eye; hence the petty aversion; and
hence her reason for stunning the porch.
The second day, she climbed a dim trail
leading up the mountain side She was tired
when she reached the top but the view from
where she now stood compensated for the
effort glorious ponorama of flashing
streams, snow-clad peaks and endless forests
greeted her eye.
For several minutes she reveled in scenic
grandeurs; then she sat down, with her back

the girls irritation gave way to devastating
rage
She left the dinner table before the dessert
arrived, emphatically asserting that she wasn't
going to marry any man just yet-and Mart
Ferreter least of all!
The next morning after the business -harried
parent had left for the office, Marie descended
the broad and winding stairway, carrying
bag in each hand.
Mrs. Hammond, the housekeeper, looked up
from her task Of busting off the mantel.
Good morning, Miss Marie" she greeted.

trips, are you? I'll fix you some breakfast If
I'd known that you were getting up SO early,
I'd have had things ready. If Mr.. Brown had
told me that"
He doesn't know I'm leaving the girl said.
"And never mind the breakfast, Clara. I'm
in a hurry"
Mrs Hammond was concerned. But where

answered Nor how long I'll be gone. No,

for little vacation before it does. Good-by.
"Good-by. Be careful Miss Marie
short time later the girl was driving her
light coupe beyond the city. She had spoken
truthfully when she had said she didn't know
where she was going. She didn't.
She did know that she was going to evade
her father for while. She would return after
he'd abandoned certain weird idea-or hallu-
cnation-Which was obsessing him at present.
The distant mountains, looming high and
cool, caught the girls eye-and fancy The
pine-studded slopes beckoned. And Marie,
answering the siren call of whispering breezes,
steered her course straight for the elevated
horizon with its promise of tumblng streams
and sequestered retreats.
Three hours later, having reached the foot
hills she bore down the accelerator and
began to climb the narrow, serpentine ascent OF
Fall River Canyon. For two hours she rounded
the sharp curves of the winding road. At last
she struck the open country. Then she stopped.
To her right, and nesting among the pines,
she saw two-story building. In front Of

BONDS IRREGULAR
IN QUIET MARKET
Rail Issues Again Featured,
With Most Groups Yield
ing to Pressure.
BY F. H. RICHARDSON.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March 16.-A After
opening higher. with United States
Government long-term bonds and
speculative railroad issues in the van,
the bond market turned irregular in
dull trading today as pressure was ap-
piled to selected issues.
Reports that the Reconstruction Fl
nance Corporation would aid the Mis-
souri, Pacific Railroad to meet matur-
ing notes April l were confirmed by
the opening action Of the market when
Missouri Pacific IS, General As and 5l2s
ran up to points. But these gains
were not fully maintained in early trad
ing, and the market had a nervous
tone as If awaiting important develop
ments. Some statement was believed
TO be forthcoming in regard to the
Missouri Pacific and the whole Van
Sweringen system. Chesapeake Cor
poration 5s recovered couple OF
points.
Nickel Plate 6s, Erie SIS and other
bonds of the group improved, but were
still substantially under their recent
1892 highs There was some selling OF
inactive issues. such as Chesapeake q
Ohio-Richmond and Allegheny divt-
Sion per cents. These were offered
at 10. off points from the previous
sale
Baltimore & Ohio first As, basic mort
gage of this system, were off more than
3 points. Southern Pacific 412s lost
point and so did Southern Railway As.
At the same time there were small ad-
vances in such issues as Chicago Great
Western As, st. Paul SIS and st. Louis
San Francisco B IS.

Everybody's
Business
Market Set Back by Adverse
Deve1obments, DESPITE
Favorable German Vote,
but Not Hyster,;ca1.
BY DR.. MAX WINKLER.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March l6.-The very
favorable outcome of the German cleo
tions, even though no definite result
was achieved, apparently was not suf-
ficient to Offset the rather numerous
adverse week end developments.
These included, with others, the death
OF 1var Kreuger, the fear OF possible
disintegration of the gigantic combine
created by Kreuger and controlling as
sets aggregating more than a billion
dollars; a report that Bulgaria would
suspend payment on her external in
debtedness, including, as it would,
bonds sponsored by the League of Ma
tons; the defeat suffered by the wet
forces, and, finally, the death by sui
eide of George Eastman, prominent
industrialist and head of the Eastman
Kodak Corporation.
These above happenings proved too
much for market whose technical po-
sition had become somewhat impaired
as result of the recent fairly uniform
advance in quotations which yielded
readily to whatever selling pressure
developed. However, it was gratifying
10 note that there was no evidence OF
hysterical liquidation throughout the
greater part Of yesterdays trading.
Old Methods Revived.
Back to the orthodox methods of in
vesting appears to be the new policy
of the Sun Life Assurance Co., Can
ada's leading insurance enterprise. The
proportion of bonds to total security
holdings at the beginning of the cur
rent year constitutes the highest since
1927 and amounted to 26.8 per cent,
against 20 per cent in 1929.
In new investments, T. B. Macaulay,
the president, informed his Stockhold-
ers the company favored high-grade
bonds, yields on which are now very
attractive
In view of the unjustifiedly low quo
tations at the end of the year, which
bore, apparently, no true relation to
values. the company's securities are
carried on the books at the average
values for the past five quarters.
Adverse Dividend Rumors.
To counteract rumors to the effect
that Electric Bond 6J Share might
postpone or even omit the dividend due
this time on its preferred, it may be
pointed out that no action will be taken
until March 90 There is no doubt
whatever that the regular payment will
be ordered on the SIS and $6 preferred.
Last year the dividends, amounting
to over $1,000 900, were earned more
than three times The postponement of
the foreign power dividends due, not to
lack of earnings, but TO difficulties Of
transferring profits nom countries,
where the company operates, had q
