HEAT WAVE IS
| CLIMAXED BY
HEAVY BLOW
Power and Telephone Service
Interrupted; Moor Travel
Stopped; Some Fruit DAM
aged Slightly

AS terminus for another week
of sultry heat, when temperatures
again climbed past the 100 mark,
the weather man wound things up
by treating the region to record
hard blow Tuesday evening.
Temperatures were high all Tues
day and the humidity low, when
about z pm. a strong wind of the
kind this region is so famous for,
sprang up, and soon grew into gale
proportions.
With the increasing strength of
the wind, trees were snapped off,
great piles of dirt and debris were
rolled down the streets, and great
clouds of dust. rolled in the sky to
a height of Several hundred feet
Visibility was lowered to al
most the zero point and motor traf-
fic on many of the traffic lanes in
all directions from Kenr1ewick was
brought to an absolute halt, until
about 10 pm, when the wind came
to a slight hull, and gave the skies
chance to clear up somewhat.
With the first strong gust OF
wind, power and telephone lines in
all directions from Kennewick were
put out of commission, parts of the
city were left in darkness for hours,
while power company crews labored
to reopen their lines.
With still slight reminder of
the preceding evenings blow,
housewives Wednesday began their
usual course of house cleaning, and
the removal of dust and grim from
all the tiny hooks and corners of
their homes. Merchants were busy
redusting their stocks, Tightening
up display signs that had become
loosened, and wondering what they
would do with the piles of dust, old
papers, tumble weeds and what
have you's that blew into their en-
trance ways.
Fruit men along warehouse row
today estimated that the d,Anjou
pear crop will suffer approximately
a Is percent loss as result Of the
wind, both from fruit being blown
from trees and bruises. Bartletts,
which are later variety, were not
thought to be so badly damaged,
nor was it expected that the apple
growers suffered too severely by the
blow.

ADJACENT BUILDINGS SAVED
BY HEROIC EFFORT ON PART
OF COMBINED FIRE FIGHTERS

Fire of undetermined origin as
yet, late this afternoon swept thru
three business houses and a hotel
in Pasco, and left them a mass OF
complete and smouldering ruins. A
motor car garage and another large
hotel adjourning the fire were also
badly damaged.
II is believed that the fire first
broke out at the rear Of the Cello
Hotel, which was a complete loss.
From there the flames leaped as IL
they were demons possessed ana
spread to other structures OF both
wood and brick construction.
In Just a short while the two M.
&c M. cafes were a blazing, roaring
inferno, as was the Mercer Second
Hand store and the Pat Fitz Sec
ond Hand stores. The John Glib
son garage on the west and a large
hotel on the East side Of the fire
were in constant danger Of COM
plete loss as the flames made re-
peated attacks on them. ~.
The fire however was confined
from these building which are To-
Gated on Lewis street near the N.
p. tracks and they suffered by small
damage. ~. -.
AS soon as the fire broke out q
call was put in TO the Kennewick
Fire Department, who responded
Immediately with the new truck
which was recently delivered to the
city. ... G-ws aa

than done itself proud as it pump
ed great streams Of water under
high pressure from several hoses
entirely over the fire area. Altho
the truck was pumping such great
volumes Of water, fits operator de-
clared this evening that at no time
was the engine throttle much more
than half open.
At the time Of going to press an
official check had not been made,
but it is not believed there were any
lives lost. One person was known TO
have been burned, and fire losses
will run into thousands Of dollars.
One group Of Kennewicl, firemen
very narrowly escaped serious in
jury as the cornice Of one of the
buildings topped into the street
where they were working 2 hose
line. Another Kennewick fireman
dashed into a room and rescued a
soaked, scared and bedraggled kit
ten that had become trapped.
SO rapidly did the fire spread
that tenants Of the buildings had
very little opportunity to remove
any of their effects.
Great clouds of black smoke roar
ed into the heavens to q height OF
300 feet. and were stabbed through
by livid, Seething sheets of devour-
ing flames. So intense was the
heat that it was felt by the hun
dreds Of onlookers who lined the
sidewalks at safety points, over a
block and a half away.
Firemen and individual property
owners fought q gallant battle to
keep their nearby roofs and build
tngs from breaking into explosive
flames from the nearby inferno.
Property close by as in grave
danger from great sheets Of roof
ing and blazing timbers as they
were kited into the air by the ter
rifle heat and were carried from
the actual scene Of the fire.
In addition to the Pasco and Ken
newick departments and many in
divioual fighters, the Northern pa
citic railway rushed their pumper
tire car to the scene to protect
their nearby freight warehouses.

WORK Of ITALIAN
: BLIND EXHIBITED
Display of Fine Linens Has
Attracted Hundreds
in Capital.

Hundreds of persons have been at
tracted to the Mayflower Hotel this
week by an exhibit of fine linens made
by blind students in the Institute Paolo
Colosimo in Naples.
The exhibit, which will be held open
until Saturday, is in charge of Mrs.
Mary E. Raiola, an American now liv-
ing in Naples and devoting all her ef-
forts toward education of the blind.
Mrs. Raiola said the exhibit viii be
kept open all day today for the bene-
ct Of Government workers.
The works of the Italian blind is
being shown in this country as a
preclude to an exchange of blind stu
dents by the United States and Italy.
Mrs. Raiola announced that Lowell A.
Chamberlin, 1015 L street, who lost his
sight during the Spanish American
war, soon will sail as the first teacher
in the exchange.
Teachers to BE Exchanged.
Under the plan outlined by Mrs.
Raiola this morning, two teachers will
be exchanged this year and next year
four Italians will be sent to the United
States and four Americans be sent to
Italy to study in the Paolo Colosimo.
Through a foundation being raised
by Mrs. Raiola in the United States,
it is expected to establish an institute
in this country for the purpose of
teaching weaving, carving, ironworking
and baSketmaking to the blind.
The Paolo Colosimo was founded in
1924 by Donna TommaSina Colosimo
in memory of her son and is the only
professional royal school in existence.
Entirely benevolent, it undertakes the
education of the war-blind Of south
ern Italy.
Weaving in table linen, cotton, silk
damask and brocade by the blind
has won the admiration of experts
throughout the country, because of the
unusualness of the designs. Each
graduation piece is a masterpiece by its
weaver and into it the graduate weaves
his motto, which also serves as copy
right.
Blind Teaches Blind.
The blind teaches the blind through
out the school, Most of the war;
blinded students who graduate remain
as teachers of the blind from birth.
Mrs. Raiola says. Among the more
than 200 pupils, all of them men and
boys. not a one can see.
The students are taught to copy de-
signs of famous masters When they
have mastered the art, they are re-
quired to weave copy of some old
master as their graduation piece. Into
this they weave their motto One of
the notices woven into fine bit of
tapestry in the exhibit reads: "Only
in darkness does the soul become
divine" while another is Now can
See"
Several prominent Americans have
interested themselves in the work and
have promised financial cooperation
in the establishment of the school
here, Mrs. Raiola said. She declared
that more than 100000 already had
been subscribed for the school in this
country.
