White Bluffs Boy Is
Bitten By Rattlesnake

While on trip to Priest Rapids
Sunday evening with party of friends,
Lloyd Foster was bitten, just above the
ankle by a rattlesnake. Fortunately
the young man was wearing a pair
of heavy cords and very little of the
venom penetrated the skin He came
to White Bluffs and after having had
the wound treated with an applica-
ton of permanganate of potash at
the drug store, he was later given first
aid by Louis Krug, a former employee
of the Pacific Power & Light company
whose workers are all trained for emer-
gencies Of any kind. Although he was
ill at first from the effect of the bite,
young Foster is reported to be all
right again now

White Bluffs
Teacher Killed
In Auto Crash
LAVERSA KOENIG MEETS DEATH
WHEN CARS COLLIDE AT IN
TERSECTION NEAR MCKEE

Miss Laversa Koenig, 81 White Bluffs
grade school teacher was instantly
killed shortly after noon last Satur-
day when the car in which she was
riding upset after a collision in an
intersection near Mckee.
She was riding with Norman Janney,
another White Bluffs school teacher,
and they were on their way to Top
penish, where Miss Koenig was to visit
her fiance, Ralph Stovall. They had
driven onto the pavement at Mckee
and had proceeded to the first right
angle turn about mile west of that
city. AS they reached this corner there
was an oil truck directly in front of
them, going in the same direction. In
stead of following the truck around
the turn on the pavement they de-
cided to drive straight ahead onto the
gravel road
A car driven by Mrs. N. Bucklin of
Arlington driving south from Yakima
approached the intersection at the
same time and before Janney's car
could clear the pavement the two ma
chimes collided.
Both the drivers said Mrs. Bucklin's
machine struck the Janney car on the
side near the rear. Janney estimated
his speed at 38 miles an hour and Mrs
Bucklin said her car was travelling
about IS miles an hour. After being
hit, the Janney car plunged over an
embankment and turning end over end,
landed on it's top. Both were thrown
from the machine. Miss Koenig's skull
was crushed but Janney escaped with
only minor injuries. Both were taken
to the hospital by passing motorist.
Neither Mrs. Bucklin nor her sister
in-laW, Miss Elsie Bucklin, who was
with her in the car, were injured and
their machine was only slightly da-
mayed.
Mrs. Bucklin said she did not see
Janney's car until it was directly in
front of her as her view was obs
cured by the oil truck
Janney who was greatly shaken and
unnerved by the accident. said he was
knocked unconscious for a moment,
but revived before anyone could reach
his side.
Miss Koenig's home was in Enuc-
claw and this was her third year as
teacher in White Bluffs She grad
uated from the Ellensburg Normal
school in 1880. Janney's home is at
Chatteroy near Spokane, and this is
his first year as teacher.
Miss Koenig's family include her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. w. F.. Koenig;
a sister, Margaret Ann, and four
brothers, Fred, Marion. Harold and
William, all Of EnumclaW. The body
was taken to Enumclaw for burial.
Miss Koenig was an excellent teacher
and ranked high in her profession in
the state. She had many friends here
to whom her tragic death came as a
terrible shock.
Superintendent and Mrs G. M. Mel
son were in Yakima Saturday but had
no knowledge Of the tragedy until
about five O'Clock in the evening, when
a clerk in the store where they were
shopping and who knew they were
from White Bluffs, told them of hav-
ing read about it in the evening paper.

Gellatly- Falknor Club
Formed In County

A Benton County Gellatly- Falknor
club was organized at meeting held
in Kennewick Tuesday evening The
purpose of the organization is to pro-
mote and work for the election of John
A. Gellatly and Judson Faulkner, can
didates for governor and lieutenant
governor, respectively on the Repub
lican ticket.
The meeting was attended by about
so persons from all parts of the coun-
ty, divided about equally between
farmers and business men. Andrew
Brown of Prosser was elected perman-
ent chairman and Charles l.. Powell
Kennewick secretary. To assist him
in carrying on the work, Mr.. Brown
appointed three men in different parts
of the county. These were Robert Gay
of Prosser M. M. Moulton Of Kenne-
wicp and E. j. O'Larey of White Bluffs
While the particular object of the
club will be to promote the candidates.
of Mr.. Gellatly and Mr. Faulkner, it
will also work for the election of all
candidates on the ticket, this being
covered in resolution offered at the
meeting and unanimously adopted. In
this respect the club is to work in COM
plete harmony and cooperation with
the county central committee.
There will be several initiative and
referendum measures on the November
ballot and in order to give the voters
some knowledge of these it is planned
to hold few meetings at key points
in the county where some one who
has made a study of these measures
will discuss them.
In urging the election of Mr.. Gel
latly, it was pointed out that he has
been resident of Wenatchee for about
80 years and is therefore familiar with
irrigation problems, and that his ex-
perience as legislator and as lieuten-
ant governor has given him knowl-
edge of the operation of the state gov
eminent that will prove very valuable
if he is elected governor.
1t was planned at first to limit the
club to just Mr.. Gellatly but when it
was pointed out that his campaign was
to be tied in with that of Mr.. Faux
nor it was decided to use the latter's
name also.
Those from White Bluffs who at
tended the meeting were D. S. Will
kinson, F. A. English, Fred Gilhuly
and E. j. OLarey.

THE GOLF COURSE
ON EAST MOUNTAIN
Vast Amount of Work
Done on Property the
Past Few Months
MANY ACRES CLEARED

Work has progressed on the golf
links property on East Mountain
to such an extent that berry pick
ers, huntsmen and others who
toured that part of Waterbury
some years ago would not recog-
nize the place in its improved
state. Such a crop Of stone did
not exist in any other part of Wa
terbury as were visible in the 1875
acre track being converted into
great recreation center. Some
of them are in evidence yet, but
several acres have been cleared Of
stone and brush ana present the
appearance of delightful meadow
land, over which a moving ma
chine could travel without getting
Jolt. II the land ever should be
abandoned as a golf course, 1t will
be in big demand as a farm,
enough of the land being cleared
to grow fine crops of corn, pota-
toes and such other things as till
ers of the soil like to raise for
domestic consumption.
No definite announcement has
been made as to when the new
golf links will be formally opened,
but after looking over the grounds
one not familiar with the rules OF
the game would say that every
thing Is in readiness to make a
start at any moment, but the ex-
pert might see many things that
haveto be attended to before the
