Continued from Page ID
Johnson said Hover was dream
er. Apparently he had the knack
of putting his dreams to work,
for he built several hotels while
in this area, and developed a
large estate and subdivision at
Pass-A Grille, Florida. His per-
manent home is the Florida city
but his letters were written from
Vermont where he has been
visiting. His present tour will
consume two years.
| How much the community has
changed since Hover left here
was indicated by his reference to
the ownership. of the Courier Re
porter. He mentioned the name
of A. r. Gardiner, publisher of
the Courier-Reporter when Hover
was here. But Gardiner has been
gone many years, is now head
of a home loan company at
Evanston, ILL.,, and there have
been several other publishers of
the newspaper since he left.
Hover said he came to the spot
which is Kennewick in 1898. He
began building.
81 started with a two-room Of
flee" he said. Then I built a
six-room hotel. The next year 1
| built a 14-room hotel, and the
next year a 4O-room hotel"
Hover left here in 1923, going
to Lombard, ILL.,, failing health
sent him to st. Petersburg, Fla,
in 1871 with a year to live"
ultimatium ringing in his ears.
BY 1915 he was fully recovered,
had gained weight and now
weighs 100 pounds. He expects
to live until he is 100.
A brother, Aron Hover, also
here and at Richland when Her.
bert A. was here, was lured to
Mississippi by a sharke who
promised him a part in an oil
venture. Later, Aron'S dead body
was found in a thicket there.
James Walter Poore was arrested
and convicted of the murder. He
committed suicide as he was a.
bout to be. electrocuted in the
states electric chair.
A clipping from a Middlesboro,
KY, newspaper lists some of the
outstanding feats of Herbert
Hover as follows:
1. Took the first steamer from
the States to Alaska after the
discovery of gold there in 1898.
2. Attended the first exhibit
and flight of the Wright brothers
| airplane in Europe in 1908.
| 3. With Mrs. Hover, made the
first transcontinental automobile
tour, from Mexico to Canada and
from the Pacific to the Atlantic
ocean, ever made by man and
wife, in 1908.
4. Took part in the first rescue
at sea in which radio was used,
1909.
| 5. Drilled the first producing
oil wells ever sunk in Montana
by an Independent oil man, 1920.
6. Built Montana's first oil re-
finery, 1920.
Both Moulton and Johnson said
they were looking forward to his
visit here. Johnson commented,
after looking at a picture of the
Hovers in the New York Times
that che doesn't look SO much like
he used to. He has changed, all
right"

Lesson In Poinfin0

Painting is something that is in season any time.
trouble is that most people don't do it often enough,
nee it is known that buildings deterorate need
'Ssly from lack of paint than from any other
And when realize that many millions invested
buildings in the State of Washington alone it becomes
matter that isn't to be passed over lightly.
advice for those who wish do better job of almost
anything, has this week for the farmer who owns
buildings. He doesn't stress the advsability of painting
often because doubt he feels that everybody knows
that but he passes information about colors for
farm buildings which is interesting.
In his weekly news and column releases, Webster
writes:
maybe the old man had the right idea in painting
the barn red Anyway, County Extension Agent
Frank Webster said there's question whether the recent
vogue painting farm buildings white is practical He
said paint specialists of the u S. Department of Agricu
Forest Products laboratory have raised the question
because they find the darker paints cost less and last
longer than white
"Down through the years. American farmers have
emphasized the home with white. They have offset the
dominating size of the other farm buildings by painting
them red made the home the center of the picture
and reduced the barns supporting background in keep
ing with the philosophy of farming way of life The
whe-painted house needs repaintng about every four
five years Dull red, maroon, and brown paints mace
from pigments containing iron oxide may be moderate IN
cost and have long life The old plan OF painting the
farm home white and the barns red results In an eco
nonca painting program of once in four or five years fof
the house anad in eight 10 for the larger
farm buildings"

MOI Against The Dutch

of the results of the crash of plane loaded with
newsmen in East Asia, that it brought to the fore
the question of United States Asatic policy.
That policy, expressed by words credited to Sec
retary of State Dean Acheson is to side with the Dutch
Republicans In view of interest in the salvation of
the Dutch during the war; this may appear to be about
face but such does have be true 1t does not stack
up with what the real interests of the United States
to be in the Pacific.
One who reads and tries to keep up with international
trends cannot help but pattern in the Pacific and
East Asia which would exclude all outsiders except the
United State ITSELF but with arstc purpose in mind
United policy apparently is to form Pacific pact
patterned after the Atlantic pact but not to throw open
to the rest the world That is why the United States
sides with the Dutch Republicans because it does
not wish the Dutch prosper but because its plans
for Pacific pact obviously will make Uncle Sam the big
steering and protecting force until the members OF the
pact able to stand their is one apparently
i'm substance which would create union of democratic
nations in the Pacific and East Asao by and for those
to be exploited by the Dutch the Russians
the Chinese any other nation or set OF nations winch
may develop imperialistic designs
