Hail Storm,
Cloudburst
Play Havoc
SOME SOFT FRUIT DAMAGED AND
HIGHWAY WASHED OUT
BY RAIN

A heavy rain and hail storm, which
did considerable damage to the sou
fruit, and which in places assumed
cloudburst proportions, Tuesday even
ing brought to an end the untlmeiy
heat of the past week.
The storm started late Tuesday al
ternoon and swept down the river
drenching the valley and bombardlng
MANY of the orchards with hail stones
the size of cherries. Although very
heavy, the hail areas were spotty ana
parts of the valley were untouched by
it. The storm was worst between inc
COYOTE pumping plant and the klon-
dyke district, and the lower END OF the
Hartford district. The Cold Greek ana
Allard-Vernita districts suffered no
damage. but orchards of the lower part
of the valley were heavily struck by
the hail. The damage, however, Is not
so great as was expected, and the sou
fruit crop will probably be not much
reduced.
At Hanford, cherries were badly
damaged and cellars were Hooded WIN
several feet of water Sections OF the
Hanford- Richland highway, about nVe
miles below Hanford, were partially
washed out by the storm, but trafflc
was able to proceed over the road, only
one side of the road being washed
away.
So heavy was the rainfall, that Id
inches of rainfall was recorded within
several hours.
The storm had already appeared IN
the guise of cloudburst before COM
/, ing here. The torrential rain descended
on the other side Of the Saddle noun
tains, causing a landslide just below
| Corfu. An 15O-foot slide about twelve
feet deep covered the tracks OF the
Milwaukee railroad and made 1t nee
essary for their trains to be routed
over the Great Northern until We'd
nesday evening when the crew OF thlr-
ty men were able to finish clearing
away the dirt and debris
Clirnaxing week Of intense heat,
the temperature on Monday reached a
peak of 1903 degrees. Many growers
complained that they were unable to
get sufficient water to irrigate their
crops, and only the cooler weather fol-
lowing the storm saved much OF the
/ alfalfa in the lower section OF the
, valley.
| The Columbia river, which has been
rising and falling during the past sew
? eral weeks with the changing tempera-
. lures, reached new seasonal peak
2 today, Thursday, with a reading OF
/. 524.O feet. On May 3 the river reachec
e a peak of 5233 feet, and then dropped
off several feet, only to come up once

Power Company Seeks
Rural IndustrialiZation

To aid in the industrial development

manager of the company. Bally Will
carry forward the business develop
ment activities formerly handled by
G.. E. Visiting, whose entire time IS
to be devoted to the sales problems OF
the Northwestern Electric company.
ut is believed that one of the re-
suits of the present economic sltua-
ton will be the decentralization OF IN
dustries, and it is possible that many
manufacturing units will be looking for
new locations in smaller communities
close to the field of consumption, sa1o
Macarthur in commenting on the
change. cit will be a part of our pro-
gram to see that the communities we
serve get their share of the results
| that follow such changes, it being I'M
derstood, of course, that the Pacific
company expects to benefit through
/ the securing Of increased load"
One of the activities contemplated
+! by Baily is survey of the industrial
| possibilities of each district served b.
the company. Purpose of the surve,
will be to make available as complete
! information as can be obtained re
garding the natural resources, existing
industries and development possibil
tiles of each community.

Shipments of Fruit From
This Valley Increasing

Increasingly large shipments OF early
fruits and vegetables during the past
week have marked the beginning OF
the 1884 shipping season in the Priest
Rapids valley.
With the close of the strawberry sea-
son, cherry shipments got underway
last week Growers received IL cents
per pound for Bings the latter part
Of last week, but after few shipments
the price dropped off to eight cents
early this week In other districts OF
the Northwest, growers were being
paid five cents per pound for Blngs
Quotations on cherries are being made
from day to day, and some shippers
have expressed the belief that the
price will rise later in the season.
Digging of early potatoes will begin
within the next week, few sacks haV-
ing been already dug and shipped on
consignment from this point The only
quotation yet made on the early spuds
is az cents per pound. If the potato
! code is adopted the price will be set
daily, and sponsors of the code believe
that growers will be able to receive
about Is cents per sack more under
the code than under ordinary market
ing conditions There will be between
five and six hundred tons of early
spuds dug in this district this season
Apricots and peaches are ripenlnf
steadily and picking of this fruit VII
begin within the next ten days. Whll'
the freezing temperature late in Marcf
ruined some soft fruit in the valley
none of the Allard-Vernita fruit wa
touched, and in that distict and IL
orchards which suffered no frost dam
age, the crop is one of the heaviest Il
years. Reports from California stat
that growers there have received offer
of from $35 to $50 per ton for thel
cots. No quotations have as yet bee
: made in this district, however.
i. Transparent apples will also b
l ready for picking about June 10 an
! shipments of that fruit will start 500
afterwards. No quotations have bee
made on this fruit as yet.

Toppenish Wins,
ll-9, Over Locals

Led by the heavy hitting OF AaepleA,
Toppenish pounded out an IL to VIC
tory over the White Bluffs Hanford
team of the valley league sunday.
The victory put them in triple tie
for third place and the local team IN
tie for sixth place in the league.
Scoring six runs in the first three
innings, the Toppenish team had tne
game we'll in hand until the sixth
when the locals began pounding out
hits which, combined with errors ana
poor fielding by Toppenish, brought IN
four runs. They had already counted
one run in the third. In the seventh
the locals pounded Mcdonald out OF
the box and hammered Piland, RELIEF
pitcher for Toppenish, for more hlCs,
bringing in four more runs and plac-
ing them in the lead, 9 to 8. Piland
was relieved in the eighth by Hand
cuff, who also allowed number OF
hits. Cords, who started for the locals,
was relieved in the second by Hart
mann.
The sixth-inning rally brought the
local fans, who had expected a mas
sacre after the first few innings, to
their feet. Their hopes for a victory
by the local team were crushed, how
ever, when Toppenish drove in three
more runs in the ninth, after two men
had been put out.
It looked like another rally for the
locals in the last half Of the ninth
when Russ Weber reached first on
single. Emil Wagner was put out
and Walker came to bat as a pinch
hitter. He hit nice line drive between
first and second, but Toppenish con-
verified it into a double play and the
game was over.
Zaepfel of Toppenish showed the
local fans what heavy hitting really
was, getting five hits out of five times
at bat, one being a home run over
the right field fence and one triple
DeRigto and Russ Webber led the local
team in hitting, each getting three
hits out of five trips to the plate.
Besides heavy hitting and spotty
fielding by both teams, the game was
marked by number of arguments
between players and disputes over de
cisions by the umpires
Sunnyside cinched first place in thu
league for the first half by defeating

Washington Farm Homes
Badly In Need Of Paint

"The study of the preliminary report
of the Farm Housing Survey for the
state of Washington shows decided
need for repainting both on the ex-
teriors of the farm homes and for the
interior walls and ceilings" states l..
j. Smith, head of the state college
agricultural engineering department.
Mr.. Smith is vice-chairman OF the
survey.
"Of the 1920 farm homes studied
1475. or slightly more than rs per
cent, need exterior repainting while
1880, or 28.5 per cent, need interior
decorating and painting. Twenty mine
hundred or 49.5 per cent, of the homes
need an entire repaint job.
"Of the farm homes studied, lS5t
we're implanted frame houses without
protection of good quality painting
Wooden buildings deteriorate rapidly
Implanted buildings are also colde'
structures"
