$50 Register For
Primary Election

With the closing of the registra-
ton books Saturday night, a total
of $50 persons in the Priest Rapids
valley had qualified to vote at the
primary election September 8. This
figure is slightly under the total of
568 registered voters for the pri-
mary election of 1882.
The Columbia precinct was the
only precinct to show a gain over
the 1882 figures, with % registered
voters this year as against % In
1882. In the Hanford precinct there
are 228 registered voters this year
as against 229 in 1882, while the
registration in the White Bluffs pre-
cinct dropped from 317 in 1892 to
3O2 in 1886.
Nearly all eligible voters in the
three precincts have registered for
the primary, but there are q num-
Der of citizens who are unable to
register until after the election,
since they have not yet lived in the
county or precinct the required
length of time.
Voters who plan to be away from
the precinct on the day of the cleo
ton, or who are physically disabled
may vote by absentee ballot. These
ballots may be secured by writing

PROMISES VISIT
BY H.F. ALEXANDER

During the past few months the
Priest Rapids valley has received a
good deal of statewide publicity.
The White Pass White Bluffs road
picnic, the recent popular cupboard
races on the river, the splendid soft
fruit crop, have all brought con-
siderable mention in the papers of
the Northwest.
The latest publicity for the valley
was received during the American
Legion convention at Longview, as
shown in the following article from
the Longview Daily News:
with the promise of plenty Of ice
and tomato juice, a vigorous CAM
paign to land the 1897 American
Legion convention was launched to-
day by the John Lindblad post Of
White Bluffs.
CDR. Edwin Newton, past DEPART
ment vice commander, was leading
in the missionary work, and took
pains to warn every delegate he
could button-hole that Walla Walla,
one of the leading contenders for
the convention next year. would be
unable to provide sufficient ice.
'.He painted a rosy picture OF
White Bluffs, explaining the city
had ample space for huge tent
city, and that the steamship H. F..
Alexander would cruise up the Col
umbia river through Cascade Locks
and anchor on the water front at
White Bluffs. In addition, train
of Pullman cars would provide adj
ditional quarters.
white Bluffs several large ho-
tells are all ir-conditioned, he said,
adding that the city's Commercial
club and other civic organizations
had endorsed the invitation to the
Legion.
The city is ideally located in the
middle of the state, on the White
Pass White Bluffs highway to be
completed next spring, he declared,
as though to clinch the argument.

Friends of Miss Brunhilde Kaufer,
who visited in the valley last sum-
mer, will be interested to learn that
she has been awarded a scholarship
to the University of Hawaii at Hon
olulu. She was also appointed as.
sistant instructor in sociology. Miss
Kaufer was graduate of Reed COL
lege in 1885. She lived in Honolulu
the first years of her life, so the
return there will be doubly inter-
esting to her.

100 People
See Exciting
Speed Dashes
Perfect Weather Aids In
Success Of Annual
Event

olltboard boat races was again dis
played Sunday when an estimated
TOO people, drawn from all sec
tons Of central Washington, gath
cred at the Columbia river here to
see the fastest boats of the north
west perform in a program of ten
races which from start to finish
were packed with thrills.
For the third successive year, per-
feet weather prevailed for the races,
and with the program of races be-
ing run off smoothly and with no
delays, the spectators were enthusi-
astic in their praise Of the event.
The fact that the day was UNI
marred by serious accidents was a
credit to the skill of the pilots, who
took many risks which left the spec
tators breathless. Several times the
speedy little hydroplanes side
swiped one another in taking the
corners
The climax Of the thrill -packed
program was the second race for
hydroplanes, in which Bus Tuthill,
driving the Half Pint" Jerry Bry-
ant in the big Beef Earl Joplin
in the "Just Skip-it It," Marvin Nc
Kelheer in the "Popeye' and Leon
ard Keller in his hydroplane crossed
the starting line. Bryant took the
Lead, but on the second lap dropped
out when his motor froze at the
lower corner of the course.
Coming around the irshore buoy
ON the upper end of the course, the
Half Pint, leading the others by a
few feet, went clear out of water
as Tuthill Strengthened it out.
Dancing on it's fin for a few mo-
nents, the boat seemed sure to flop
over, but the pilot held it steady
as it came back down. Joplin
grabbed the lead on the last lap
and held it across the finish line
with Tuthill second and McKelheer
third.
It was in this race, which the
drivers and mechanics on the floats
described as the most exciting they
had ever seen, that the spectators
got taste of the real dangers and
thrills of cupboard racing. The relay
race provided more thrills as the
fast little hydros swung in to the
starting float to pick up their pas
sengers, several of whom misjudged
the speed and were nearly tangled
up in the propellors.
In a short intermission number
-four local boys gave the crowd some
good laughs as they tried to push
one another out of the boats with
long padded poles. The event was
a battle royal until the padding on
the poles became SO thoroughly
soaked that the boys could no longer
lift them.
The team of Billy Harrison and
Bus Tuthill took first money in the
event, Jerry Bryant and Jimmie
Harlan taking second and Earl Jop-
lin third. Carl Joplin, driving the
Miss Wenatchee,' powered by a |

The Old Gardener SAYS:

1t appears that much damage
has been done this year to colum-
bines by the leaf miner, pest
with habits very much like those
of the leaf miner that works on
chrysanthemums. The pest
sucks the juices. thus causing the
foliage to become brownish and
badly disfigured. Nothing can he
done after the injury has reached
an advanced stage. but the pest
can be exterminated readily early
in the season by spraying the new
growth with Black Leaf 40 or
some other contact poison. The
pest returns to the soil late in
June and emerges again as fly
in the early Spring. This fly laws
eggs on the new leaves and as the
miners hatch they begin TO bore
their way into the foliage. 1t is
at this time that they must be
dealt with, and they are easily
killed by a contact poison which
closes the pores and smothers
them.

Proper Use
Of Names
And Titles
BY EMILY POST.

DEAR MRS. POST: Are there any
exceptions to the rule that a wife
speaks of her husband only to servants
and trsdeSpeople and in business as
Mr.. Jones? l am the wife of clergy
man and it seems to me wholly inap-
propriate to speak of my husband to
the people in the church whom ] see
constantly but do not know intimately
as John. To use constantly the phrase
my husband" seems rather tiresome.
Is it not correct for the wife Of
minister to speak Of her husband as
"Mr. Jones'?
Answer: The position Of q clergy
man Is set apart from that Of the rest
Of us, and therefore usual rules DO not
apply. If he holds the degree OF d. D.,
he would, of course, be spoken Of as
DR.. Jones. Otherwise to speak Of him
as Mr.. Jones is entirely proper.
r
Dear Mrs. Post: If one Is absolute
ly unable to find out the initials OF
some one to whom letter must be
written, should the name be written
Mrs Smith or Mrs. - Smith?
Answer: Mrs. Smith. The dash In
place of the name is used only In the
case of such titles as The Rev. or The
Hon.
Dear Mrs. Post: Should it be neces-
sary, when using letter paper that Is
marked Mrs. John q. Brown and the
address, to sign ones name with the
Mrs. John B. in parenthesis? I have
signed it simply Mary Brown, but have
so often received letters in answer ad-
dressed to Mrs Mary.
Answer: You are quite right and 1t
should not be necessary. But since
many people pay no attention to the
name printed at the top, when writ
ing again to one who has called you
Mrs Mary, 1t Is obviously better to
write Mrs. John G. in parenthesis
after your signature.
Dear Mrs Post: ! must soon think
about marking the clothes and lug
gage and in fact all personal belong
inEs of Q young son who Is to 60
away to college for his first year this
Autumn. He is the junior in our
family, so would you advise that all
things be marked with q Jr. after his
name?
Answer: Even though father Is not
at school ana there Is no possibility
of confusion, nevertheless Junior is
part Of his name and everything he
has should be marked with the Jr.
following his initials.
