Woman Thought Dead Returns To Daughters

Farmington.-After period of 81 years in which
Mrs. Howard Rude, of St Paul, thought dead,
she returned to Pennington to visit her daughters.
The older of the two daughters who four at

struck with misfortune and the girls, two and
four, were put in orphanage. Later they found
homes with families who treated them their own

to have died during the flu epidemic, remarked Re

They had carried away the body of Con-

room and it was all upset; the silk covers of
the bed thrown about, the mosquito net torn,
blood on the Manahiki mats that were worth
their weight in silver. 1t was about sun-up;
the light shot straight, like brazen spears
through Coopers Venetian blinds that were
the admiration and wonder of the place; and
the spears seemed to point at her, where she
sat crouched together in the midst of her hair,
leaning on the palms of her hands, and quiet.

E. J. Flanagan
Former Iron Man Pitcher
Tries Out For Con-
gressional League

OSN@OAAS~~
E. J.. (EO Flanagan, who re-
Gently filed his declaration Of cam
didacy for Congressman from the
Fourth district on the Republican
ticket, is a reservation farmer who
served for a number of years as
commissioner of Yakima county,
in which Office he achieved a repu>
tation as man of good Judgment
and one who stands firmly behind
his own opinions.
He is advocating returning the
American markets to American
farmers, maximum private employ
nlent and minimum government
employment, humane and reason
able security for old age, conserva-
ton of natural resources, and an
end to spending beyond the gov
eminent income.
To at least one resident of this
valley, Flanagan's candidacy holds
much interest for nearly thirty
wears ago he was one of the out
standing baseball pitchers in the
northwest, and spent one season on
the Waterville team, managed by
e. J. O'Larey, present rural carrier
at White Bluffs and former pub
Usher of the Spokesman.
"The last season in which I was
a part owner of the Vancouver, B.
c., club of the old Northwest
league, we signed Flanagan"
O'Larey explained. Before the sea-
son began, 1 sold my interest in
the club.
vancouver had too many good
pitchers that year, so they let the
Waterville team have him until ou,
season ended. He pitched great bar
for us, winning every game ne
played.
"The highlight of his career a.
I remember it was the time tina
Vancouver and Seattle met durd1t
the Yukon-Alaska Exposition. II
one of the games during that series
Flanagan pitched for Vancouve:
against Gus Thompson of Seattle
who was supposed to be the elias
of the coast, and an ex-big Lacquer
Seattle put over one run in tn
first inning, and the score rename
10 until the first Of the ninth whe1
Flanagan pounded out a doubl
and then, with two out, came clea
in from second on an INTEL
grounder to tie the score. It wa
a close play, but the catcher wa
drawn off the plate and he jus
made it. From then on the tw
teams battled through nine NOR
innings, with neither team gettin
run until the 18th, when Flana
gan duplicated his earlier fea
scoring on almost identically tn
same play. Then he went back t
the mound and shut out Seattle i
the last half of the inning.
IF he can legislate like he coul
pitch, he'll certainly be a sensatlo
in Washington, his former man
ager concluded.

Fruit canned to date includes 500
cases of apricots, 300 cases Of cher
ries and 80 cases of yellow trans
parent apples. Canning OF the lat
ter variety was more or less OF an
experiment, and if it works out it
is expected that the output OF this
product will be greatly increased
next season, as there is sufficient
acreage here to meet a large de-
mand.
The cannery has also processed
40 cases of asparagus, as well as
doing considerable custom canning
of beans, corn, beets, asparagus and
soft fruits for valley families
The cannery has aided IN the
work of the resettlement admins
tration in this valley in that many
of those who have brought surplus
products to be canned are clients
of the resettlement administration
and will thus be better able to repay
their loans.
So far this season, about twenty
five persons have been employed in
part time work by the canning ex-
change.
The cooperative group is now
busy constructing an addition to the
cannery building, the frame and
siding having already been raised.
When completed, the building,

OF the four warnings received.
