FEAR AVIATOR
MET TROUBLE
On LONG TRIP
Mattern Unheard OF Since Leav-
ing Siberia Enroute To Alaska
On Wednesday.
BAD WEATHER ON ROUTE
Little Likelihood OF Search Be-
ing Made Due To Heavy Fogs
And Extensive Area.

NOME, Alaska, June 16. DIP
. A planned search for James j. Mat
tern, more than "a hours overdue
here on his projected SOW flight
from Siberia to Alaska, appeared
unlikely today.
Low clouds, fog and poor visibil-
ity generaily-the factors which
may have cost the daring aviator
his life-prevented an air search
by the few flyers in this vicinity.
Two coast guard cutters were in
Boring Sea somewhere along the
route Mattern planned to fly when
he left Khabarovsk, Siberia, on the
most dangerout leg of his round
the world flight, nearly 48 hours
ago.
But it was pointed out that the
guardsmen had no lead to follow
in a hunt for the Texas pilot. 1t
would take them months to make
even a cursory search of the hum
dreds of miles of uncnarted waters,
islands and ice packs of Boring Sea
and the Aleutian chain.
NOME, Alaska, June 16. UP
Fog shrouded skies today hid the
fate of James Mattern, Texas flyer
unreported on his 'round-the-world
flight since he took off from Kha-
barovsk, Siberia, for Nome at 2:30
p. m. (CSD Wednesday.
He had been expected here at
9 a. m. (CST) yesterday.
Airmen here believed Mattern
was forced down somewhere along
the bleak eXpanse of rugged coast
and ice-choked sea.
Plans for search were discus
sed. Two things kept them from
becoming definite. One was the
dense fog over the Boring Sea and
along the Alaskan and Siberian
coast. The other was the vast area
that would have to be covered. If
Mattern changed his course and
then came down, search could
continue for months.
Airmen here believed the Texan
encountered fog as far south as
the Aleutian Island chain. He
probably faced hours of blind fly
ing. they said
Mattern may have landed at some
isolated Siberian village. Possibly
he veered from his course far from
Nome to- strike for the Alaskan
mainland. He may have pressed on
to the interior of Alaska toward
Fairbanks when fog prevented him
landing here. He possibly landed
on one of the numerous unpopular
ed islands in the Boring Sea.
Residents of Nome, recalled that
other aviators have encountered
trouble on the route, but that none
met death.
Don Moyle and Cecil Allen, fly
ing the northern route from Toxic
to San Francisco, disappeared off
the Siberian coast. They were CIV
en- up for lost. Days later they
landed in Alaska. They had run
out of fuel, "pancaked'' down on
a remote Siberia village, and OBJ
tanned gasoline from a Soviet trad
ing vessel that touched the hamlet.
The Russian plane Gland of the
Scviets'' met delay, but safely nav
igated from Moscow to Seattle.
Col. and Mrs. Charles A. Lind
bergh flew from Nome to Siberia
and on to the Orient.
PETROPAVLOVSK, Kamchatka,
June II. Saturday U.Pj-No re-
port of Jimmie Mattern, world
flyer, has been heard since he left
Khabarovsk for his second attempt
to cross the Boring sea to Nome.
Fog and winds have been sweep
ing this region for the past sever
al days, and it was feared the AM
erican aviator may have met with
a mishap.

BEVERLY HILLS, June 10.
(SpeciaD-Well, had a tough
time communicating with you
all today. I first wrote one de-
handing the other 80 per cent
of the debts. Then I got to
thinking that maybe we better
grab the 10 per cent before they
changed their minds. So 1 just
finally decided that Roosevelt
would just have to handle it
alone. I refuse to enter into it.
A debt argument is just like
a religious one. It's mighty
good thing to stay out of. Ev-
erybody's mind is made up al
ready.

land Yankee Calvin Coolidge

Linn Gives Information
Concerning Cover Spray

The following is the moth
emergence for the last two weeks
as determined by six traps in the
Kennewick district: May II to "a
inclusive-144, So, 1874, IA, 16, AZ,
0, ]. 9, o, 6, 8, 90, 8.
The next cover spray should be
completed by June l. Because Of
apple growth and other factors,
lead arsenate sprays show a loss
in deposit per unit area in the
early part of the season Of as much
as 5 percent daily. Even though
the moth emergence in your indi-
vidual orchard has been low, the
apples must be kept covered at
this time to be sure of controlling
the first brood. Remember if it
were possible to get 100 percent
control of the first brood there
would be no second brood. Use 3
pounds of Arsenate of Lead per 100
gallons. For aphis control add ga
pint of Black Leaf 4O.-Harry A.

PLAY PASCOON
MEMORIALDAY
Take First Place in Valley
League in Win From Wap-
alto Last Sunday

Kennewick won a good ball game
last Sunday, az, against Wapato,
runer-up in the Yakima Valley
league. 1t was well played game
turnout and definitely placed the
Berry Pickers at the head of the
league for the first half of 1.-The
schedule.
Next Sunday we go to Sunnyside
but on Decoration day we have an
extra game scheduled with Pasco.
Roger Records has been hired to
pitch for the railroaders and the
local boys are itching to see what
they can do to their former team
mate. 1t should be good game.
Roger is sure that credit for win
ming the pennant last year was due
to his pitching, but the batting
records Of the rest of the team
have some bearing on the situa-
ton. AS matter of fact the locals
have the best hitting records Of
any team in the league. Hill is
again leading this year with Gil;
Evett has AIT; Ellis 381 and Hud-
nell 1854.

GRASS PRICE
UP A LITTLE
Rains Slow Up Cutting; Ber-
ries Increasing, But Crop
Light

Rain which fell thruout Satur-
day night and late Sunday morning
caused the wheat farmers and
fruit growers to rejoice, but at
the same time slowed up the as
paragus and berry harvest. The
Big Y reports shipping their first
asparagus to the Sunnyside cam
merry Friday evening, at an in
creased price of one half cent per
pound. Washington Early Crops
have been shipping their aspara-
gus to the Sunnyside cannery for
several weeks.
The bright sunshine of Monday
afternoon and Tuesday following
the rains of the first of the week
helped to ripen the strawberries,
and more than hundred crates
were shipped from the district on
Monday. They were shipped to
Spokane and to the coast cities and
dealers report a fairly satisfact-
DRY price for the crop, which is
said to be light, but of a good
quality. Each day more crates are
sent out, and the peak of the har-
vest is expected to be reached next
week.
Early potatoes from the Kenne-
wick district is expected to be
ready to roll to market the goth
of June.

MUST REDUCE
7 POWER RATE TO
GET STATE AID
Highlands Project Has Good
Chance to Secure Cut in
Pumping Charges; Federal
Officials Confer Here

Assurances were received from
the state this week that the Ken
newick Irrigation district could
receive funds with which to COM
plete the distribution system and
make other improvements if a more
advantageous rate could be re-
ceived from the federal govern
ment for power. "a
A conference of federal recla-
nation and state officials was
held here the first of the week re-
garding the possibilities along this
line. The state, from its reclama-
ton fund made available for this
purpose by the last legislature, is
willing to advance the money for
the work. Under the original con-
tract the district is to deliver the
water to the high point on each
forty in the district, but the fed
eral funds We're insufficient for
this purpose.
The domestic water system is
also in need of general overhaul
ing and part of the money, if Sc
cured, will be used for this pur-
pose.
Attorney Stoutmeyer, in COM
pany with j. S. Moore, superin-
tendent of the Yakima project,
both of whom were here Monday,
were of the opinion that the feder-
al heads of the bureau could be
ing the reduction in the power
convinced of the necessity of maxi
rates. As soon as this matter can
be arranged, details are ready to
proceed with the work locally.

DISTRICTS PAY
BUT THEIR OWN
INDEBTEDNESS
Consolidation of Finley and
Hover School Districts is
Bringing Up Problems; to
Vote June2

Residents of Finley and Hover
have been notified of special
school election to be held Satur-
day of next week. The election is
to determine whether or not the
two districts will be consolidated.
Under the present plan, all the
grades as well as a high school are
maintained at Finley. This has
entailed an expense to the taxpay-
ers of the regular ten mill levy and
a special levy of ten mills each
year, a total Of twenty mills for
school purposes alone.
The Hover district has, previous
ly done the same thing, but their
special levy has not quite hit the
limit. The past year, high school
pupils have been sent to Kenne-
wick. This plan has not proven en-
tire1y satisfactory.
Under the proposed plan, Finley
will maintain the eight grades and
transport the high school pupils
to Hover where the combined high
schools will be conducted. Hover
will also maintain one primary
teacher. The Hover school has a
better gym and other facilities for
the higher grades, it is claimed.
By such a combination, propon-
ents of the move are certain that
both schools can be maintained
under the ordinary ten mill levy,
thus cutting the school taxes for
residents in both districts almost
in half.
While both districts, like most
others in the state, are now oper-
ating on q warrant basis-that is
both districts have indebtednesses,
the Consolidated district
If that is decided upon, will start
off with a clean slate. The Finley
district will pay off its outstand-
ing warrants and the Hover dis
trict will clean up its own past
debts. Some confusion exists
among patrons Of the districts up
on this point, Director II. s..
Hughes states.

6O-MILE GALE
UPROOTS TREE
High Wind Fills Homes With
Dust and Does Some Fruit
Harm

The Kennewick-P asco region was
visited by another of its famous
spring wind storms about mid-aft-
ernoon today, and according to Of
ficials of the United States Wealth
.er Bureau at the iPasco Airport,
the wind attained an average We
locity of SO miles per hour, and at
times climbed past the 60 mile
mark.
Great clouds of dust were whirl-
ed through the air and the streets
were covered with heaps of debris
and tumble weed, while homes and
shop. windows were covered with
heavy film Of dust.
Numerous tree branches were
snapped off in the sudden gusts of
wind, and one large tree at the
corner of Everett street and Ave.
A was literally torn from the
ground, and city street crew
rushed to the scene to clear the
roadway.
The wind which swept down
with but moments notice, fill
ed the main irrigation canals with
great piles of tumble weed, that
was sent crafty rolling across the
open prairie land at dizzy pace.
Highway travel was slowed up
as visibility was reduced to a
small margin and roadways were
filled with tumble weed.
Although the wind storm con-
tinued in its most intense stages
for only an hour, local housewives
can no longer say that this was
one spring that a wind and dust
storm didn't spoil their spring
house cleaning.

GRAIN FIELDS
SHOW PROMISE
OF BIG YIELD
Recent Rains Making Wheat
in Horse Heaven Hills Show
Up Fine; Increase in Prices
is Aiding Optimism

The vast wheat region of the
Horse Heaven hills just adjacent
to Kennewick, has filled the resi-
dents of that section with in
creased optimism, as prices soar
ed to higher levels. With every
prospect of a bumper crop the
wheat growers are looking to the
future with confidence.
If present grain prices remain
or continue to mount, ranchers will
realize comfortable returns this
fall as materials, labor and food
stuffs are obtainable as a figure
below that of many years.
At the present time the entire
Horse Heaven wheat region repre-
SCENTS huge patch work quilt Of
vivid green and amber brown,
where the new sprouting grain, an
summer fallow fields join. The
abundance Of moisture this spring
has caused the grain to grow rap
idly, and heavy stand is assur-
ed with the proper climatic condi-
tions.
The neighboring grain regions
in Franklin county in the Kahlo-
tus, Connell districts also look
promising and many of the grow
ers of that region are holding
large portions or all of last years
harvest. One rancher near Kahlo-
tus is holding of last years wheat
up.
