See Carlsbad Cavern.

From the deep South we hear that
Mr.. and Mrs. Jas. H. Hogan are point
ing the compass west. At the last
word they were nearing Carlsbad,
New Mexico, where they planned to
visit the famous Carlsbad Caverns.
These caverns are series of huge
rooms underground, discovered by a
certain Jim White, many years ago.
Shortly after their discovery, the
cavernS were converted into a Ma
tional Park, and stairs were built
leading down into the various rooms.
It's days journey to complete the
tour. A certain type of sulphur and
other chemicals in the water which
seeps through the ground has COM
pletely filled the cavernS with every
color imaginable. 1t is as though
you had taken a mass of brilliant
paints and had thrown them against
the walls, ceilings, and floors.
Myriads of stalactytes and stalag-
notwithstanding from the ceilings
and stand up from the floors. These
are every color of the rainbow, from
huge pillars to tiny threads. Through
out the entire caverns, indirect light
ing is used. You can never see
bulb and $50 feet below the surface
is a complete restaurant where the
tour stops for dinner. Temperature
within the cavern is a constant So
degrees. 1t never varies, winter and
summer

A nice group of people gathered at
the schoolhouse Friday evening to
celebrate the Presidents birthday
and chip in few dimes for the
Infantile Paralysis fund. Cards and
Chinese checkers were played for a
few hours and then a very nice
luncheon was served. The affair,
including some outside contributions,
netted S13 to the cause. Half of
this remains in the county and the
other half goes to the national fund.
The many demands for donations of
late depleted the purses and num-
ber who usually turn out were not
present, and there were also other
counter attractions.

The women folks, under the super
vision of Mrs. R. Cluett, have been
making quilts and mattresses the past
two weeks. They make five quilts
each day and they are said to be
nice ones. It's one of the projects
promoted and financed by the gov
ernment.
Mrs. Arne Anderson, who has been
visiting the past week with her sister,
Mrs. Carl Hultgren, returned Sunday
to her home in Minneapolis.
Mrs. Gus Wahlquist has been ill
for the past several days and Gus,
who is now enjoying his vacation, is
looking after the affairs of the house.
Don't forget to move your clock
ahead one hour next Sunday night,
otherwise you may miss the bus the
next morning. The country goes
on daylight saving time then. The
school folks have not yet decided
if they will make the change or keep
the old time for a while. Starting
now would get some of the younger
folks out and away when it was still
quite dark, and as someone said,
some of the country kids who attend
schools not equipped with electricity
would have to carry lanterns to study
by.

Many New Houses
Being Considered
For Construction I,
Local capital preparing
to build homes for ex-
pected population jump

The repeatedly expressed opinion
that at least five hundrec new resi-
dences will be required in this
area within the next few months
has caused many local property
owners to begin to figure on what
to do about it. One Of those who
has already made up hic snind is
Pat Owens. who recently purchased
a ten-acre tract east of Washington
street in town.
Mr.. Owens let the contract for
the erection Of two houses this week
and work on their construction has
already been commenced. Mr..
Owens figures to continue building
houses as long as there is a de-
mand for them, erecting possibly
thirty in all ON his tract.
Other local property owners are
also making preparations to house
some of the newcomers. Houses in
groups from four to fifty are be-
ing figured on and at least one
apartment house Is being contem-
plated. Undoubtedly there win be
many more constructed if the area
IS declared to be on the "open" list
so that building materials may be
secured.

Kennewick Plays in
Tourney for End
Consecutive Year

The Lions continue their basket
ball season this Friday night by
journeying to wapato TO participate
In Valley tournament. The Lions
drew the highly touted Ellensburg
Bulldogs for their first game. The
EllenSburg team boasts an In and
out season this year and their best
feats Of the year are double victories
over the Yakima Pirates who are
being rated to take the Valley
tournament.
Coach Ray Normile journed to
Ellensburg last week end to scout
the Ellensburg- Prosser tilt and came
back to the Lions den highly con-
WINGED that the Lions are going
to have to play the best game OF
their season to emerge victorious.
However, the Ellensburg team de-
feated the Prosser Mustangs 81 TO
As in somewhat close tilt, while
the Lions boast double wins over
Prosser during league play. Re-
CARELESS Of comparative scores a
close battle is expected with the
team playing the smaztest baM
emerging victorious.
The Lions have been working hard
against a man to man defense all
week owing to the fact that the
Ellensburg team has used a tough
nan-to-man defense all year. The
Lions expect to shoot both a man
to man and zone defense against
the high scoring Ellensburg team.
The Ellensburg team seems to have
no one particular as a star but
Jim Carmody seems to be the boy
who packed the punch which pro
duced victory against the Prosser
team. Carrnody dumped In ~
counters against Prosser, some Of
them shots which he ordinary
coach would deem prayer Shots
They also have a center In person
Of Porg who plays fine ball. Other
boys the Lions will have to stop
IN order to achieve victory are: the
Stalks brothers, Kellher. Baullin.
Jorgenson and Bunger. The Lions
are pinning their. hopes on ne
following boys: Evett. Hays. Aman.
CARRIER. Better. A. Smith. BrowneIl.
Hoppy, Kirk, Liebel. Preston and
Lustler Gavin Jones. Coach Nor
mile expects to select the starting
lineup among AInan, Hays. CARRIER.
Better, highly improved "R" center.
Evett, Smith, Brownell, Hoppy ana
Kirk.
The Lions lack ball handling
against man-to-man defense and
the coach is highly concerned over
this fault. It is hoped. however.
