fishing. r. S. Reierson told the group
of some of his experiences while In
Alaska, and G. l.. MCGEE described to

ants.
During the business session OF the
clubs melting, the group took favorable
action on a resolution referred to the
club by the State Sportsmen's Council
which would allow fishermen to keep
trout less than six inches in length.
This resolution was introduced as
conservation measure, 1t being pointed
out that majority Of small trout
carelessly returned to the water soon
die. The prospects of holding a rabbit
drive in the near future were also dis
cussed.
The club has received several letters
in reply to their proposal that ante
lopes be established on the range above
Priest Rapids B. F. McCauley, chief
patrol officer Of the State Game De-
partment, in communication to the
club, states that as soon as possible
he will make trip to this territory
to get first hand information on the
J feasibility of such a project.

Invite Everyone
To Big Rabbit Drive

Claiming that 1t will be one Of the
biggest events ever to be held in this
valley, members Of the White Bluffs
Rod and Gun club are making plans
for an fashioned rabbit drive, to
be held Tuesday, July Is. The event
will be advertised In nearby commun-
tiles and it is expected that a number
of people will come here for the event.
To make the event big success, a
holiday will be declared and all busi-
ness houses will close. The drive will
start about noon, the lines forming to
drive the rabbits toward fences and
corrals set up for the purpose. Two
lines will be employed, those in the
front line to use clubs while picked
group of men, carrying shotguns, will
form the second line, at a safe dis
lance in back of the others, to see
that no rabbits escape.
In the evening, a band concert Will
be given by the White Bluffs Band,
to be followed by a dance. Full de-
tails of the drive, which is in charge
of a committee composed of Edmund
Anderson, Arno Krug and Arthur
Heideman, will be released next week.
Jack rabbits have increased greatly
during this season, and are destroying
hundreds of dollars worth Of crops. It
is hoped by the club that a drive OF
this size will exterminate enough OF
the pests that farmers will receive
large measure of relief from this
problem.

Cool June Weather
Unlike Other Years

Unlike the average month Of June
in the Priest Rapids valley, 1855 June
passed on without having brought a
heat wave. Likewise, it was the first
June for number of years during
which the mercury has not touched
100 degrees or higher. While there
were several days on which high tenn
peratures were recorded, no two came
together, and cold weather always
brought relief within few days.
At the Wahluke weather station, Co.
operative Observer Gabriel Jaddan re-
ports the maximum temperature of the
month as SO degrees, recorded on both
the 18th and 5th. The minimum was
so degrees, recorded on the End, 3rd
and Goth. A total precipitation of 10
Of an. inch was recorded, and Is days
were reported to be entirely clear,
while 10 were cloudy and five partly
cloudy.
T. Del. Moffatt, in charge of the
weather station at Hanford, reports
that at this station the maximum was
81 degrees, recorded on the 18th and
7th. The minimum temperature was
Al degrees, recorded on the End and
10Th, while the total precipitation am
ounted to 81 OF an inch.
The mean maximum temperature re-
corded at Hanford was much lower
than that of last June, and Is thought
by many to be one of the lowest or
record. According to the figures from
this station, the mean maximum tenn
perature Of the month was 814 de-
grees. Last June, the mean maximum
was SO degrees

fact, not joke. What do you think
of that?"
Mr.. Christians letter was written on
the 26th of June, when local growers

Two More Games Left in
Second Half Of League
Schedule
Valley League Standings

Hartford strengthened it's hold on
first place in the valley league Sunday
when it defeated Wapato, 80, in
ragged game which saw both teams
make a number Of errors.
Hartmann pitched one of his best
games for Hartford, striking out 10
batters and allowing no walks while
giving 9 hits. Pavelich, hurting for
Wapato, was spiked sliding into third
in the second inning, but despite
game leg, went the rest of the route.
McConnachie led the Hanford hit
ting attack, getting a walk and three
hits out of five times at bat, two OF the
hits being for extra bases. B. Miller
and Reed, each with a triple to his
credit, were the heavy hitters for Wa
patio.
Wapato started strong, getting two
runs in the first inning, but from then
on seemed to lose it's punch, adding
but two more runs the rest OF the
way. Hanford scored one run in the
first and went into the lead in the
third, when they added two runs, only
to see the score tied by Wapato IN
the fourth. From then on the teams
were even until the seventh, when
Hanford pushed over two runs. Wa
patio opened the eighth with run
but Hanford drove in three runs in
the last half Of this inning to make
their lead safe.
Next Sunday, Hanford will face the
fast Sunnyside team on the latter's
field. Sunnyside defeated Hanford by
one run in the first game of the sea-
son, and has smooth working team
which takes advantage of every break,
but Hanford should have S efficient
power to offset Sunnyside's versatile
attack
On the following Sunday the locals
will travel to Prosser for the last game
of the season. Toppenish and Yakima,
now tied for second place, meet Sum
day in the last game Of the season for
both teams.
One defeat in the next two games
would drop Hanford to a tie for first
place with the winner of this game
but if they are able to win both will
have the championship of the second
half cinched and will then meet Top
penish, winners of the first half, in
playoff for the league championship
