Thousands of Fish Are
Frozen at KahlOtus Lake

Fishing season will open the first
Sunday in April and local anglers
are making preparations for the big
day. However, the season will only
be open for about month in these
waters, according to Game Protect
or G. E. Bennett, who calls atten-
ton to the closed period starting
May II to June -, during the
spawning season.
The Columbia river Is open the
year around, Mr.. Bennett states, al
though the Yakima river is under
the same limitations as waters other
than the Columbia. The bag limits
on fish remain the same this year
as last.
Mr.. Bennett has been getting &C
quainted with his new territory and
on a recent trip to Kahlotus lake
discovered thousands of dead fish
in the smaller of the two bodies. In
vestigation revealed that the fish
had frozen during the winter per-
iod. The bigger lake did not freeze
solid and the fish there were un-
injured.

NINE CARS STALL
NH. III. DUST STORM
Two Men Missing After Leaving
Car on Road; Police Search
Made

lEs
Today Kennewick is experiencing
one of the worst dust storms in the
history of the district. The wind
velocity isn't as high as II has been
many times in the past, but on ac-
count of the spring blowing in the
wheat fields, the dust is nothing
short of terrible.
Out in the Horse Heaven hills this
afternoon nine cars. at least, were
stalled, some shorted by static con-
ditions, others unable TO travel OH
account of the almost complete lack
OF visibility. Drivers state that It
was impossible to see the road. In
fact, some Of the time even the rad
iator caps were not visible.
No particular damage has been
reported, but local police authori-
ties are a little worried about the
whereabouts Of two men, presum-
ably state employees, who disap-
peared in the dust. They left their
car and started to walk.
Miss Elsie Turner, who teaches
school in the Mottinger district and
drives back and forth each day, got
stalled on account Of the dust and
sat in her car waiting for q res
cue. The two men came by on foot
and urged her to join them walking
as they said she would smother in
the dust IL she stayed. They took
about three steps away from the
car and haven't been heard Of
since. The police are making in
quiries concerning them.
Miss Turner was stalled within
fifteen feet Of another car driven
by an employee Of the Coffin Sheep
company. The two occupants sat
in their cars for more than an hour,
neither aware of the proximity OF
the other. Finally the man got
glimpse OF Miss Turner's car, came
after her and took her to his car,
then started back to her car for
something, but was unable TO find
the car, SO dense was the dust.
Clifford Turner, Patrolman Mar
vim Carnahan, Police Chief Harry
Cochran and Mitchell Kershaw
made up a rescue party to bring in
the marooned drivers. The dust
was so thick that one of the men
had to walk ahead feeling for the
road with his feet. Ten feet ahead
of the car, he couldn't be seen. Mr..
Kershaw stated this evening that
no one ever called his feet small,
but he was unable at times to see
his own feet.
Static conditions were bad, too,
not only In the Horse Heaven dis
trict. but all along the highways and
at other points. The static would
short the distributors and the cars
would refuse to function. Those who
were smart enough TO drag chain
or wire from their cars to the
ground managed to operate, but the
others were stuck.
Freshly plowed wheat land made
conditions SO bad at this time, al
though other sections OF the Pacif-
ic Northwest are reporting similar
conditions tonight. In many 9TH
er places traffic on the highways
has become too dangerous TO OPP
crate.
In town, while not as bad as des-
cribed above, the dust drifts into
homes and stores and offices and
everything is gritty.

as they have been in recent years,
