Small House Burns in
Electric Storm Here

WHITE BLUFFS-In the recent
electric storm, tree in front of the
Simon Martinez ranch was destroy
ed and a small house near Hanford,
on what is known as the Gregordch
tract. was burned. David Last had
recently purchased the Gregorich
place and had planned on tearing
down the house to build a chicken
house.
Mrs. Ray Ramsey, Mrs. j. Barnes,
MES. E. NJ. Remlinger, Mrs. E. Il.
Chesley and Miss Nfta Curry were
shoppers in Kennewick Friday.
The ice cream social given on the
bandstand lawn Sunday night was
a financial success and judging
from comments heard from all
quarters it could be chalked up as
a success in the social column too.
Music was furnished by Benny Bu-
chanan's band, Tex Arnold's String
Trio. violin and piano duets by Mrs.
Aerial RaN-lins and Tom Last, and
vocal solos by Eileen Hyer and Sue
Anglin. Since the White Bluffs
band is no longer in existence, the
people of both towns are music hun
cry and a get-together like that OF
sunday is one of the best little
'lifter-uppers" that we know. Let's
try it again!

Record Breaking
Year Seen i'm Car
Sales In Locality
Chevrolet dealer reports
bright outlook for bal
ance of this year and
next

Chevrolet automobile sales in
Kennewick and the surrounding
territory nave been far better than
anticipated this summer, says Ern-
est Huber, manager, of the Kenne-
wick Auto Co., local Chevrolet deal
er.
The first ten days of June, 1910,
were the best since June 1887 and
the last 20 days were the best in
sales of any like period in Chevro-
let's history. Nationwide sales of
Chevrolet have increased approx
ms0teIy 81 percent over those of
1889 and if sales are as good the
balance of 1910 as they were the
first half of the year, they will ex-
coed by far those of any previous
year. Over one million 1910 model
Chevrolets have been manufactured
to date and with new car announce
ment still three months away, all
indications are that this will be a
banner year. This increase in sales
indicates a general upward trend in
business conditions as well as the
popularity of the car. il
Local Chevrolet sales have in
creased tremendously over those Of
1899 and the sales for the first six
months of the year passed the total
sales for last year. While new car
sales have been exceptionally good,
used car buyers have been of equal
Importance in making this record
breaking year for the Kennewick
Auto Co. Used car buyers have
purchased almost three times as
many automobiles as there have
been new cars sold and the greatest
amount Of interest has been shown
in late model used merchandise.
With this amount of interest be-
ing shown by the automobife buyer
at this time of year, Mr.. Huber Is
very optimistic over the outlook for
1941, and feels that Kennewick, as
well as its neighbors will see better
times in 1871 than there have
been for several years.

In Columbia
To clear $50 feet wide to
depth of six feet to UNI
atilla; job to require s
months

Following the peak of the high
water in the Columbia. dredging OPP
erationS have started on the chan
mel TO Umatilla and two shifts are
at work. A crew of 81 men is en-
ployed at the Homily Rapids and
"a are engaged in similar work up
the Snake River.
The channel from the mouth Of
the Snake to Umatilla will be $50
feet wide and up the Snake 100 feet
wide and the depth will be six feet
at low water mark.
An accurate depth survey has been
completed Of the channel. The
loose gravel is being removed and
