mains a large room which makes a
most convenient and attractive place
for social gatherings of any kind.
The beauty of the structure is
shown in the nice selection Of the
logs; the accurate workmanship
shown in the fittings; and the general
harmony of it's lines. It seems, also,
a veritable part of the surrounding
landscape, and almost growth
springing naturally from the ground
OH which it stands. It was designed
by Chief Birmingham of the city
police, who, besides being an efficient
officer is also a master mechanic,
having served in that capacity for
many years before assuming the uni
form of a preserver of the peace and
quiet of this municipality. It is a
credit to the designer, to the work.

DEPARTMENT
GIVES WARNING
TOVACATIONERS
Take Care AS To Drinking
Water, Properly Handled
Foods, Sanitary Facilities
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
BY HEALTH AUTHORITIES

If you are going on a picnic, a
weekend outing, or possibly Fourth
of July trip, DR.. r. H. Riley, Direc-
tor Of the State Department of Health
calls your attention to the following
summary of broadcast given recent
". under the auspices of the Bureau
of Sanitary Engineering, telling the
why and wherefore of watch for the
Placard." Here is it:
"When we go hiking, camping,
fishing or enjoy any other outdoor
pleasures, we join large family, SO
to speak, for which such necessities
as safe drinking water, properly
handled foods, and toilet facilities,
must be provided. We are so accus-
toned to these things that we take it
for granted we will find them wher-
ever we go.
"You may be surprised to find out
that special precautions are taken by
the State Department of Health, not
only to see that such necessities are
provided, but that they are adequate
ly safeguarded.
"Just use your eyes, when you start
out on your trip, and you can tell
whether the place you are heading for,
meets the Health Department require
ments. If you are looking for place
with safe drinking water, for a pic
mic, a quick lunch, an overnight stay
or for a cool swim in a clean careful
ly operated pool, don't stop until you
see the placard bearing the seal Of
the State of Maryland showing that
the place has been duly inspected and
that it meets the sanitary require
ments.
"This placard represents permit
which must be renewed each year be-
fore the place may be opened for the
season.
ITO be duly certified, each camp
must comply with prescribed regula-
tions with regard to water supply,
toilet facilities, and the disposal of
sewage, garbage and other waste; the
protection of foods sold on the prem
ises from spoilage and from contami-
nation by flies or otherwise; sources
of supply and methods of handling
milk, cream and ice cream; and the
general cleanliness of buildings and
grounds.
"And here's a pointer for those who
swim: A safe swimming pool is very
difficult to maintain and requires
special engineering attention. In adj
dition to the camp permit, separate,
swimming pool permit is required.
"This pool permit must also be re-
newed each year. If you want to
swim in the camp pool make sure that
the camp has a special, pool permit"

Episcopalians to Hold
Joint Service i'm July

At a recent meeting the Bishops
committee of st. Paul's Episcopal
church formulated plans for the
summer schedule of the church Ser
vices. 1t was voted to maintain the
regular hour of service at 10 O'Clock
in the morning, but to unite with
the congregation of the Church Of
Our Saviour, Pasco. The Kenne-
wick congregation will unite with
the Pasco congregation in the
Church of Our Saviour during the
month of July, while during the
month of August the Pasco congre-
cation will come over to st. Paul's
church. This arrangement was
agreed upon in order to enable the
vicar, the Rev. DR.. Frederick A.
Schilling, to have his services be-
fore the heat of the day and, there
fore, to conduct divine worship for
his Prosser church at 8 O'Clock in
the morning. For the month OF
July, also, the church school will
be closed. This summer schedule OF
services will begin on the last Sun
day in June, on which Holy Com
munion will be celebrated in the

Distrust of private power COM

It is not democratic that 139'erS
are after but it is the hinderance or
, defeat of the peoples power in this
state and a clear right of way for
the greedy power trust which is us
ing all its strength to grab off pub
lie power and thus keep electric
costs high above the ability of the
average man to pay and deprive
them of the major benefits of the
public power system. These men
are at work now, doing their best to
hoodoo the Bonneville system and
wreck or weaken it if they can.
That is the way they love the people.
They loved them at the last leg
islature when they rented a whole
floor of a large hotel and held a
glorious House of Mirth" replete
with wine, women and song while
they made deals with impression
able legislators which was the only
way they could serve their loving
purposes This charge is vouched
for by one of the oldest and most
reliable members of the executive
committee of the state grange. We
may be sure that any voter in a
PUD district who votes for 1879 does
so in complete ignorance of the
history and vicissitudes of the orig
inal Bone power bill which has just
had this same battle to fight at
every step of the way and only be-
cause the friends of the people in
fact-not in name-have stood
bravely against the assaults OF the
power trust and held them in check
thus far. And now let the voters be
assured that this fight will be won
and they may now confidently vote
mo" on 139 and cheerfully attend
it's funeral next November.
From the standpoint of a mount
ing flow of signed petitions from all
sections to place Initiative No. 139

port, with little exception, of the
entire state, increased public dis

ton to the proposed amendment to

jority. The Leagues statewide ed

Boston, Aug. 2.-(UP)-Kurt Reich, machinist's mate on a Nad U-boat, was sheltered at the Ger man consulate here today after ell- ing how heescaped from a British prison ship carrying him to intern- ment in Canada.
 On arrival last ngiht, he said he had lived on berries for two days while travelling through dense woods tothe United States.
 International law saved the B. year old seaman from return to captivity and he was released un- conditionally from Bangor, Me, jail Immigration officials studied the possibility of deporting Reich, the second German to attempt escape from 8 ship carrying prisoners to Canada. The first drowned.
 Reich said he squeezed through q ship porthole near the entrance tc the St. Lawrence river July IS. He told of swimming ashore through icy waters against a strong current Travelling by night, he said, he headed toward the United States living on berries and other "wild eatables" found in the woods.
 At the United States border, he surrendered to federal patrol, bui his return to Canada and charges of illegal entry against him were overruled under an international law providing that c neutral na- ton receiving an escaped prisoner of war shall allow him liberty.
