man reporting, all had reports in
dicating continued activity ad in
terest on the part of members. F.
j. Chamberlain, member of the st.
grange executive committee was
present and discussed the inadvis-
ability of organization of small
grange power districts. Mr.. Cham
berlain discussed at length his
general attitude toward power
companies and stated that he felt
that some of them were showing
a change in attitude toward the
general public.
He stated that the Coulee Dam
is to be built by government money
which is to be repaid by the state
from the sale of current to be paid
out in 20 years at 9 IA mills. If
the sale of power does not take
care of this repayment, then it
would be necessary to tax the pub
lie for this repayment. It was his
feeling that nothing less than the
counties should be organized into
power districts and the counties
consolidate to make large dis
tricts in this way getting away
from many difficulties in organi-
cation and problems following or
ganization. 1t was also his feeling
that any agitation to form small
districts at this time might be
suggestions of power companies.
He further stated that he felt the
power companies might use one Of

Agent Explains

Taking the figures for a GER
tain wheat farm in the Horse
Heaven, County agent f. C. Dur
die explained to the Kiwanians
Tuesday noon just what effect the
new wheat allotment plan would
have. He showed a series of
graphs relative to local and world
wheat markets and what the gov
eminent was attempting to accom-
plish by production control Of the
five basis farm products. In brief,
he pointed out that with average
yields and prices, the farmer would
receive several hundred dollars
more for harvesting a hundred
acres less of wheat.

First Car of Jonathan
Apples Roll From Here


The first car of Jonathan apples
of the 1888 fall crop rolled from
the Big Y Tuesday night over the
Northern Pacific and will be ex-
ported by way of Montreal. The
harvest of Jonathan apples began
Friday, a number of other pack
ing houses have started work also.
The crop is said to be of good
quality but only about so percent
of an average crop. The packing
of the d'Anjou pears is expected to
start Thursday afternoon or Fri
day morning. These will be pack
ed and held for the markets later
in the season it is stated.

Wait Awhile Before
You Have that Fire!

Your next insurance policy, IL
you have property within the city
limits, may carry new rate as
the result Of a resurvey by the
Washington Survey and Rating
Bureau now being taken. AS re-
suit Of the findings of this bureau
rates are lowered or increased, ac-
cording to the risks, according TO
Harold G. Fyfe, who is aiding the
board in making It's survey. He
hopes that the rates will be brot
down as a result of the boards
findings. The board has completed
the survey in all cities of the
state over seventh class, in which
Kennewick is placed. The plan is
to have an equitable and uniform
rate for the entire state.

Ends With Big Rush

After WalIllS ia 49," p
.,,aosf three hours, a tense and ex-
s;.sd crowd broke into chorus OF
denominations and EXPLANATIONS
,ast Saturday midnight when the
;udges of The Kennewick Courier
panorter's great subscription cam
naim placed in the window their
Statement showing the following
results:
Miss Dorothy Allison of East

Mrs Arthur C. Simsen-Winner
Of the extra cash prize of $4,000

from August IL to August 10.
Mrs. Arthur C. Simsen-Winne

The complete list of winners,
with their total number of votes
is shown elsewhere in this issue of

The highest candidates polled
more than 3,135,00O votes and the
total number of votes registered to
all the candidates together was
more than 10000, 900, truly a ire
mendous total.
Ballot Box Holds Answer
Placed in The Courier Reporter
office window early last week, the
sealed ballot box remained in that
position, where all candidates and
the public might see it and have
easy access to it, until 9 O'Clock
Saturday night when the campaign
was officially closed by the judges
and members of the advisory board
broke the seals and made the final
count.
So intense was the race that
many enthused candidates con.
tinued canvassing until the final
moment, when dozens of final re-
ports envelopes were deposited in
the sealed ballot box.
Beginning their work at 9 o.
clock Saturday night, the judges
finished only after nearly three
hours of strenuous and exacting
work. In the candidates sealed
envelope reports the judges found
hundreds of new and renewal SUBJ
scriptions. Every receipt, coin,
money order and check was care
fully checked and the results tabu-
lated.

that nerves produced heat when
stimulated, like metal wires pro-
duce heat in transformers and
resistance units when electric
currents are being shot through
them.
To measure the amounts OF
heat produced per second in given
amounts to nerve tissues under
stimulation, Sir Archibald in
vented one of the most sensitive
measuring devices on earth.
Frogs and Grabs Used
Nerves of frogs and crabs were
used in the experiments. On &C
count of the wide fluctuations of
ordinary room temperatures in
the laboratories, an elaborate
thermostat was devised to keep
the nerve tissues at an even tenn
perature of 20 degrees centlgrade.
This apparatus was a wooden
box lined with a copper sheet, a
layer Of kapok, then a herm1tlc-
ally sealed brass cylinder, another
layer of kapok and pitch, then a
heavy copper cylinder, then wall
of oil and, finally, the nerve
chamber itself.
The enclosed nerve tissue then
was stimulated with minute elec-
trical charges and it was found
that the tissue gave off one-mil-
lionth of one calorie of heat per
second under the highest eXcita-
ton.
A calorie is the amount of heat
required to raise a gram of water

CHICAGO, June 20 QN.S0.
Proof of the electro-chemical ma
ture of all human thought. feel
ing, and sensation we're offered
today at the Century of Progress
meeting of the American ASsocia-
tion for the Advancement OF
Science.
During symposium on
physical and chemical changes IN
nerves during activity" five OF
the worlds leading psychologists
put the nervous system of the
body, including the brain, on a
basis where its actions can be
studied like ordinary electric
power production and distribu-
ton.
New Treatments Forecast
Fundamental discoveries, which
may lead to radically new treat
ments of various forms Of in
sanity. hysteria, and paralysis,
were announced.
These discoveries demonstrate
that nerve fibers develop resist
ance under too frequent stimula-
ton, Just like some metal con-
ductors resist the flow of elec-
tricity. Experience showed, how
ever, that this resistance could be
broken down by periodic stimula-
tions of slower frequency.
The chief discovery was an
nounced by Sir Archibald Vivian
Hill, Foulerton professor of physi-
ology at the Royal Society; Lon
don.
He reported that he had found

$4,000 Collected
In Jewish Campaign

A total of $4,000 from 800 con-
tributors was reported last night
at the conclusion Of the united
Jewish campaign.
Judge Nathan Cayton and
Isidore Hershfield spoke at the
meeting which was held in the
Jewish Community Center. It
was decided at the meeting to
hold memorial service on July 10
for DR.. Chain ArloSarro, leader
in the Zionist movement, who
was assassinated in Palestine

NEGROES YIELD
PATRONAGE

Little hope for any outstand-
ing political phln1s for negroes
was held by colored Democratic
leaders today following President
Franklin D. Roosevelt's appoint
ment Of a white man as minister
and consul to Liberia. A white
man was named minister to
Haiti sometime ago.
There now remains but few
positions previously held by
negroes, which may be accorded
them under the present Demo
cratic patronage. The office of
recorder Of deeds of the District
ot Columbia remains to be con-
Sidered.

CHEMISTRY HOPE FOR INSANE

one degree in temperature from
zero centigrade. Sir Archibald
found one-nillionth of this
amount was produced by 15-100ths
of a gram of nerve tissue under
electrical stimulation. He con-
tinued:
whether the basis of the
heat production Is physical and
due, perhaps, to the energy in
the discharge Of q condenser
located along the fibers, or
whether il is chemical and
caused by the breakdown Of
creating phOsphOric acid, the
thermal measurements them
selves do not tell"
He found that under constant
low frequency stimulations the
heat radiated by the nerves in
creased in intensity up to a
definite high point, just like
metal wires in electric power
plants.
But when the exciting electric
impulses we're increased from 80
to 1000 per second, Sir Archi-
bald found that heat production
in the nerves diminished, not
from fatigue" but from re-
sistant "inhibitions."
If it can be proven that the
"fast pace" of modern living
actually causes similar over-stimu-
lation of nerves, the increase of
insanity may be checked by
scientific, electro-chemical treat,
mentS.
