Work on a sewer project here
was delayed for several hours yes
terday all because a little black
and white striped member of the
cat family-commonly known as
a skunk or pole cat-fell into the
ditch.
workers who attempted to
drive the pussy cat out were
driven back in diSmay and
hastily turned in call for help
from the police department. But
when the police came and saw
what sort Of animal was in the
ditch, they gracefully withdrew.
Also hastily.
They explained that this was
o problem for the street depart

of intruding. So the street de-
partment was appealed to, while
the workmen sat by waiting de-
velopments.
Finally some one brought q
gun and shot the skunk and

A$NOCOS . = GOI 4GOoPS6WS1 O43 0SALb
st. N. W.
By MILTON A. BOSLEY, OWN.
The Boston terrier, a purely
American dog, leads all other
breeds in registrations in the
United States and has done so for
a number Of years. He is also very
popular in Canada.
The correct name Of the breed
Is Boston terrier and not, as he
is so often referred to Boston
Bull" His ancestors are the bull
terrier and bull dog. The breed
originated in the city of Boston
about 1870 but was not recognized
by the American Kennel Club until
1894. Today there are perhaps
more Boston terrier clubs in this
country than any other speciality
organization catering to one breed.
Ideal Disposition
This breed is endowed with an
ideal disposition. Although free
from fear and an excellent watch
dog, he is not the dangerous biting
type. He is more of a barker than
bitter, but one who will not fail
to bite if it be necessary to pro-
tect his master or home. He )
the most genial of pet and might
well be described as the "playboy"
Of dogdom.
Although claSsed by the A. K.
c. with nonSporting dogs. he never
ceases to be a sport" for he
never tires of play and is full Of
fun and mischief.
There are many reasons for the
popularity Of the breed based upon
merit. No dog is more easily
trained and his small size makes
him an ideal pet for the home OF
any size. He loves children and
they love him: both like to play
ball or engage in a friendly scuffle
and with adults he proves to be q
most understanding companion.
Should Be Small
In general appearance the Bos
ton terrier should be a small
Short-haired, smooth-coated dog
compact in statue and sturdily
built with brindle color marked
with white. AS to weight, the
standard allows three classified
tions: heavyweight, more than 2C
pounds: middleweight from Is to
20 pounds; lightweight under Il
pounds. There is also the toy
Boston, who is today very much ir
demand and should weigh under
IL pounds.
No matter in which Of these
weight classes your dog may be
long, his head should show a high
degree Of intelligence and be in
proportion to his body.

RAILR0ADING
HIS HOBBY

"If I can't run . big rail-
road, by gum, I'll run q little
One."
And those are r. H. Hamilton's
sentiments about his hobby, his
reason for constructing model
railroads in his apartment at
1882 st. N. w.
Mr.. Hamilton comes by his
flair for railroads by what he
describes as "a bug I was bitten
by as soon as I was born" He
has built trains ever since he
was old enough to play with tools
and is even employed by a divi-
sion of the Government that deals
with railroads-the office Of the
Federal Coordinator Of Transpor-
tation.
Why does he like railway model
buildings? His answer:
"I'm keenly interested in rail.
road Operatian-every phase Of
it. The average passenger on a
train knows scarcely anything
about railroad operation beyond
the man who operates the brakes
and blows the whistle and the
man who takes the tickets.
But the whole realm Of rail-
road operation is fascinating

SEAL SALE TOPS
TOTAL FOR 1885

Mrs d. S. Wilkinson, tuberculosis
seal sale chairman in the White Bluffs
community, has announced that SO far
she has received $4,000 from the sale
this year, five dollar increase over
last years total at this time, in spite
of the fact that number of people
who have been accustomed to buying
seals generously have moved away 1t
is probable that the final sum will be
even higher as there are many stamps
yet to come in.
In order that the final report to
Benton county headquarters may be
made as soon as possible Mrs. Wilkin-
son asks that all those who received
seals but have not as yet made their
contribution please return the UNI
wanted stamps, together with their
contribution, at the earliest possible
moment.

May Have To
Change Plans
For Projects
Projects Call for Greater
Sum Than Allocated
To County

With recreational projects submitted
by Benton county communities calling
for appropriations of $4,000 more than
had been allocated to the county, Ben
ton county commissioners Tuesday
voted to cut all projects by between
is and 20 per cent in order to bring
them within the $4,000 available for
the work.
1t is possible, however, they said,
that one or two of the projects may
fail to go through, due to failure to
meet terms of the program, and II SO,
that amount will be applied to the
other projects.
A meeting will be held Saturday af-
ternoon at pm. at Prosser OF repre-
sentatives of each community inter-
ested in the projects. Mr.. Williams OF
the WPA office in Yakima will be pres
emit, and remaining details concerning
the projects will be discussed.
If the blanket cut is necessary, 1T
will mean reduction of about $11OO
in the ALLEGATION for community hall

has been working on the project Is
as yet uncertain as to whether this
will necessitate complete revision OF
plans and has decided to wait until
Saturday before taking any further &C
ton. If the cut seriously affects any
projects, it may be possible to receive
supplemental appropriation, Com
missioner Frank Clark stated.
Projects submitted by the commun-
tiles, together with the amounts asked
for, are as follows:
White Bluffs: $6646, construction of
community hall.

River Associations
Program

Benton county commissioners were
agreed Tuesday that development OF
the lower Columbia river for navlga-
ton and power would be Of great ben
eft to Benton county, but postponed
action on the petition Of the Benton
county Pomona Grange urging the
county to contribute $500 to the In
land Waterways association to use IN
it's campaign to secure the necessary
development.
j. r. Ayers, representing the Po-
mona Grange; R. E. Reed and George
Peters of the Kennewick chamber OF
commerce, and Guy T. Mclaughlin OF
Walla Walla, official Of the Inland Wa
terways association, met with the
board. The commissioners expressed
themselves as in accord with the as
sociation's program, but declared that
the only way in which they could make
the contribution would be to take it
from the INDECENT relief fund, and
that they would need an opinion from
the prosecutors Office before doing
this. They also expressed the belief
that hearing should be held before
making the contribution in order to
determine the attitude of the tax
payers. H.
The association has been working
for the past three years in an effort to
have locks constructed in Bonneville
dam to permit the passage of ocean
going vessels, to secure the deepening
of the river above Bonneville and to
secure the construction of dam at
Umatilla rapids, for both power and
navigation purposes. They also pro-
pose the construction of several days
in the Snake river to permit naviga-
ton as far as Lewiston.
