While Repairing Line

Flood waters of the Yakima river
Sunday evening tore out section OF
the Columbia River Telephone COM
pany's line near the Grosscup ranch,
northwest of Richland.
D. S. Wilkinson, Dudley Wilkinson
and Roy Gibbins left here at once with
the cupboard motor boat belonging to
Mr.. Gibbins to repair the damage. Ar
irving at the highway crossing over the
Richland canal, they put the boat IN
the water and started down the river
to find the damaged section
They were able to fix several sections
of the line, but since it was then getting
dark they were unable to repair the
entire damage. Floating down the river
towards landing spot, they struck a
power line which was just above the
water level. Mr. Wilkinson received a
blow on the face, Dudley was struck
lust under the chin, and Mr.. Glbblns
was struck on the elbow by the wire
While the blows were not serious, al

Yard Identification May
Be Accomplished Easily
By County Agent E. G. Durdle

by COuHty tASCAO LIZ W A>AASeAS
Those interested in Identification OF
the yard and wishing to do this at as
little expense as possible may select
material at this time and the making
of cuttings from such plants as Spirea,
Deutzia, Weigelia, bush Honeysuckle,
many of the vnes such as Virginia
Creeper or Clements and so forth.
In making these cuttings the last
seasons growth should be taken and
this cut into to inch lengths and
tied in bundles with the top OF each
cutting arranged in the same direction.
They should then be labeled and buried
to 8 inches deep on the north side OF
a building where they will not be
directly under drip of the caves.
AS soon as ground can be worked into
suitable condition in the spring these
cuttings should be taken up and set in
a row, preferably in the garden, where
thew can be cultivated. They should be
buried until but one inch or an inch
and a half of the cuttings projects
above the surface. If kept well Guilt
waited and well watered by fall one
should have a good supply OF young
nlants. The next year they can be tran
splanted where they will have little
more room, keeping them IN the gar
den and by another season they can g
into permanent locations
This is an Inexpensive metheo O

Test Of Emergency Act
The ruling settled, temporarily at
least, requests Of James L. Fly, special
assistant attorney general, to dismiss the
plea for temporary injunction.
In halting arguments yesterday with
an announcement every effort" would
be made to hand down his decision to-
day, Justice O'Donoghue accepted state
ments of attorneys for both the Gov
ernment and the Chicago dealers that
the issue before his court was test of
the legality OF the emergency legislation.
Fly, refuting statements made by
Dodds, had declared q decision favor

Described as Parasites"
Earlier in yesterdays session Fly had
called the "wayside milk dealers"
parasites" and "termites boring into
the very foundation Of the structure of
recovery" Dodds had termed them
patriotic benefactors."
Dodds and Burkinshaw contended the
Chicago agreement was unconstitution-
al because it would bankrupt" the
wayside dealers by forcing them to sell
milk at the same price as all other Chi
cago companies.
"All but six wayside stations" said
Dodds, "are outside of the city limits
they are forced to sell milk at 10 cents
per quart their customers will buy milk
delivered at their doorsteps-at price
equal to that which they will be forced
to charge.
This will cheat the poor Of Chicago
of an opportunity to obtain milk at
prices possible when they call for, pay
cash and carry home their own supply"
Burkinshaw earlier declared the way
side dealers purchased their milk at
3la cents per quart from producers and
sold it at 6A cents per quart to those
who called for 1t.
He declared the agreement was un-
fair and said the price fixing section OF
the adjustment act was unconstitutional.
Fly said the wayside dealers were
individuals who had consistently refused
to cooperate with the Agriculture De-
partment in its effort to restore fair
prices" to producing farmers.
He declared they had no reason to

COPELAND APPEALS
FOR. TAX FUND USE
Senator Joins in Fight for
Highway Workers as More
y Face Dismissal.

With Senator Copeland of New York,
Democratic member OF the District
Committee, making new appeal to
the Budget Bureau to let the District
spend its surplus gas tax and water
revenues now, while they are needed
to relieve unemployment. 1t also de-
veloped today that more District high
way workers will have to be laid OF
after the middle Of September unless
the surplus money Is made available.
Adding his voice to efforts already
being made by Chairman King Of the
Senate District Committee t. obtain
use of the surplus funds, Copeland
last night sent letter to Budget Di-
rector Douglas, emphasizing the un-
employment situation and pointing out
tnat these surplus District revenues
cannot be used for any other pur-
pose than for highway and water i'm
provement.
Fund Use Limited.
II wish 1t might be possible for you
to authorize the use Of the water
tax money and the gasoline tax money
In the District" Senator Copeland
wrote. These funds cannot be used
for any other purpose than the i'm
provement Of the water system and i'm
provement Of the roads.
1T seems to me that in these times
when employment Is so important that
it is wise to 60 forward with these i'm
provementS
Approximately lis employees in the
highway division had to be placed on
furlough recently, and it was said by
District oflcials today that after the
middle of September other workers in
that branch of the municipal service
will have to be laid OF rather rapidly
until total Of $50 in the highway divi-
sion are on furlough.
In the Water Department 466 work
ers have had to go on furlough since
the beginning of the present fiscal
year. It has been pointed out that
permission to use the surplus funds
would make possible unemployment Of
these workers and avoid further lay
offs In the highway division.
Approval Not Given.
The current District appropriation
act authorizes use of 81 SOC, 600 of gas
tax surplus and $635,00 Of water fund
surplus, provided the budget director
gives approval to the expenditure. The
Commissioners have applied for permis-
sion to use all Of the gas tax and q
large part Of the water funds mentioned
in the appropriation act, and their ap-
plication has been strongly supported
by Chairman King of the Senate COM
mittee. Thus far the use of the funds
has not been authorized, budget Off
cials having stated they wanted to wait
and see what District work Is authorized
under the Federal public works program
In the recovery act.
Senator King said today he would
renew his efforts to have the gas tax
and water fund surpluses made avail
able as soon as Budget Director Doug
las returns to the city, probably within
the next day or two. The Utah Senator
said he would confer with Douglas and
urge him to authorize expenditure Of
these funds as a means Of putting back
to work Water Department and high
way employees already on furlough and
to prevent the laying OF Of additional
men.
