Hundreds of people from the sur

wick last Saturday when local mer-

Stores featuring special savings
report nice volume of business,
and the merchants who cooperated
with the theatre in making special
displays were more than pleased
with the results of their efforts.
One of the principal attractions
for the day was the opening Of Neu-
mans new market. Hundreds of
people went to the new place, were
served refreshments, while the men
were given cigars as memento of
the occasion. Mr.. Neuman's new
place received a great deal Of fav-
orable comment, and he reports one
of the largest days receipts since
he has been in Kennewick.

Durham, N. H.-Before Alexander
Graham Bell, inventor Of the tele-

breeding of sheep in 1889, ewes bore
only one lamb usually; twins were
rare, and bankruptcies unheard Of.
At his death in 1922, Professor Err
nest O. Ritzman of the University
of New Hampshire, continued DR..
Bells experiments, with the results
that ewes of the 48-year-old Bell
strain now produce twins two out

This week has established an

this section. Only once before In
the history of this section--slnce
accurate records have been kept
has there been a longer or colder
winter than the one we are now
bonine to have seen the end OF.
In 1919 the spell was a little long

wear got down to about thirty be-
low and stayed right around that
figure for three weeks and then
saved cold for another three weeks.
This is a little past the middle OF
the fifth straight week of winter
this time and below zero readings
have been frequent in that time,
and snow has been on the ground
continuously.
One point about the figures which
have been given here has been a bit
confusing. The minimum temper

FLOUR MILL is
SOLD TO MEN
FROM SPOKANE
Experienced Millers Take
Over Local Plant: Con-
Germ Shows Growth in Past
Is Years

E. E. A. Boyd of Spokane and Geo.
Gregory of Plains, Montana, and
associates last Saturday completed
the deal for the purchase of the
Kennewick Flour Mills.
Mr.. Boyd is well known in grain
circles in the Pacific Northwest, be-
ing connected with the Boyd-Con-
lee company of Spokane. Mr.. Greg
DRY is widely known in milling cir
cles, recently having operated the
mill at Plains. He formerly oper-
ated the mill at PaSco.
Immediate possession of the mill
was given and Mr.. Gregory is NOV
ing his family to Kennewick today
and will operate the plant as it
has been in the past. H..
The Kennewick mill has daily
capacity of 275 to 300 barrels of
white flour and so to Is barrels of
whole wheat flour, the latter be-
ing processed in a separate mill
from that used for white flour.
In the sixteen years since the
mill was purchased by its recent
owners, G. B. Shoemaker and j.
B. Conroy, great improvements
have been made, Mr.. Conroy stat
ed. During that time the capacity
of the mill has been greatly in
creased, the flour storage space
has been more than doubled and
bulk grain storage has been added.
The mill is particularly well Sit
uated, Mr.. Conroy pointed out, in
that it is located on three trans
continental railroads and will be at
the head of river transportation
when that phase develops.
The new owners give assurances
that the mill will be operated con-
tinuously as it has been in the past
and also indicate that their opera
lions will be increased, especially In
the handling of grain, affording q
better market for the wheat raised
locally.
