Circus closed its season in June and
retreated to Florida winter quarters,
five smaller circus organizations

The Business Week |
Automobile industry shows signs
of improvement. Nine leading manu
facturers reported profits of $25,387,-
000 for the second quarter of the
year, against $7,158,000 for the first
quarter. Indications are that with
the Autumn announcements of new
models drastic reductions will be
made in prices. Generous rainfall
which has turned the desert-like
“dust bowl” into pasture land, to
gether with bumper grain crops,
promise increased profits to cattle
raisers in the West and Southwest.
The same feeling is expressed by hog
and sheep raisers . . . Between now
and Labor Day a score of large is
sues of corporate bonds are sched

Wet Area Forecast
Washington, D. C.—Unprecedent
ed rains in many, sections of the
country are said by scientists, who
base their forecasts on a study of
sun-spots, to indicate a cycle of cool,
wet weather that many continue for
five years. Fixing a sun-spot cycle
at eleven years, Dr. Harlan T. Stet
son of the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology states that the sun
spot maximum was reached about a
year ago. Preceding this were per
fods of extreme drought, which dev
astated the Middle West and caused
the loss of billions in crops and cat
tle, If the cycle follows its usual
course, the last half of the 11-year
period will reverse its previous tend
encies.
. Umatilla Map
A map showing the location of
the proposed Umatilla dam has been
posted in the office of the Courier-
Reporter. The map was prepared by
Army Engineers and was secured
after considerable persuasion was
exerted, By
The ' dam site is shown, located
about two and a half miles above
the townside of Umatilla on thb
Oregon side and about the same
distance from the townside of Ply
mouth on the Washington side, The
north end.of the dam is placed in
the townsite of Rapids City, laid
out some fifteen or twenty years
280 by J. F. Alexander of Portland,
who had a development scheme and
sold quite a few lots.
Within the past week or two en
gineers have resurveyed the dam lo
caton and stakes are driven in many
places 1n the townsite of Rapids
City,
vonstruction of the damegwould
raise the water level about ten feet
above the present location of the .
P. & S. railroad tracks at that point,
but would not cause & relocation of
the O-W tracks on the Oregon side.
Coop. Power Line
Seeks to Extend
Service 100 Miles
The Rural Electrification Admin
istration has given preliminary con
sideration to an application of the
Benton Rural Electric Assn., Ben
ton City, Washington for an addi
tional loan to extend its rural lines
in Benton County, and has outlined
the steps which must be completed
befgre an allotment of funds can be
made, .
The original application covered
43 miles to serve 150 customers. REA
has already allotted $49,000 for this
project. The proposed extensions
woud total 100 miles of line to serve
300 new customers.
It will :be necessary for the pro-
Ject sponsors to obtain and submit
signed applications for membeyrship
in the cooperative as well as applica
tions for electrical service from it;
also obtain signed easements for the
right-of-way for the power lines,
and prepare and send to REA a ‘de
tailed map of the proposed exten
sion, ;
The same retall gt which has
already heen establishedi. fon the
first section of the projeet will firob
ably: apply ‘on :this. new section.
Under tiisiirate,. residential Gusto
mers pay a minimum bill of $2.50 a
month, for which they may receive
25 kwh, enough electricity to light
the average size home adequately
and operate such appliances as a
washing machine or iron, and $5.88
pays for 100 kwh, enough for these
uses, a radio, a water pump and op
erating one major appliance, such
as a refrigerator. |
Speed in further development of
this project depends in large mea.J
sure upon a continuance of the com-~
munity cooperation which is prin-!
cipally responsible for the success
of the project so far. If the mfor-!
mation about this proposed addition
is satisfactory, REA expects to be
able to allot money to meet the en
tire construction costs. No money
will be lent to pay for rights-of
way.

mation recelved this week from Don
T. Coates, the new. coach, ' - '
Because of losing so many of last
year's first team by graduation the
squad will be light this fall and the
more open play will be used. Be
sides, it is the type of game Mr.
Coates thinks most effective for
high school play as well as heing
more:interesting to, watchy ~
(. Mr. Coates,:insaddition -to heingr
football coach here, is also an ac
credited offitial, both for football’
and basketball, and already has sey
eral engagements dated. He will
also have charge of the manual
training classes in the local school.
Kennewick’s new coach has eight
years’ coaching experience, coming
here. from Macomb, Illinois, where
he had three years in coaching
of football. He is a graduate
in ’29 from Western Illinois State
Teachers College and received his
ma’ster's degree last year in Idaho.

Youths in Melon
Patch Hit by Shot
Jim Reed, son of Mr. and Mrs.
R. E. Reed, was injured last Thurs
day night by being peppered with
shot when he was found in the wa
termelon patch of W. I. Hudlow of
Section Seven. Four of the leaden
pellets lodged in his head, two just
above his eyes and sixteen are scat
tered about his. chest. ®ne in his
head was removed today, while the
others ‘'will be left where they are,
The youngsters accompanied by
Jack Oliver and Lindley Llewellyn
and three girls went to the Hudlow
place to get the melons. The three
boys entered the patch and were in
the act of getting one when Hudlow
fired without warning of any kind.
Young Reed got the shot, but the
other two lads escaped.
It is reported that another group
of youngsters had been caught in
the patch earlier in the evening,
were warned to get out and when
they refused, Hudlow fired over
their heads, but didn’t succeed in
frightening the kids. Suspecting
the next group as being the same
ones, he fired the second time with
out warning and directly at the cul
prits in his patch.
Young Reed was not seriously in
jured and will probably suffer no
lasting effects from the shot.

Skuse Reports
Sugar Beets in
Fair Condition
A very serious condition in the
sugar heets in some communities of
the county was reported to County
Agents Skuse some time ago, who
made a personal inspection of many
fields and found considerable out
break of curly top, commonly called
blight. To verify his findings Mr.
Skuse sent samples of diseased
plants to the Experiment Station
plant pathologists "It Prosser and
Pullman,
Mr. Skuse states that in most parts
of the county the beets are In fair
condition. There has been some in
jury, probably due to the method of
placing fertilizer, also they have
been slowed up somewhat in their
development by hot weather and in
some cases, have been injured to
considerable extent by inadequate
irrigation. Taken as a whole, the
vield for the county should be rea
sonably good.

Still Possibility
Efforts to secure the Kennewick
Highliné are still being made by the
directors of the Kennewick Irriga

the week-end and the directors of
the district, together with Manager
B, J. Brandand, Attorney M, M.
Moulton have an appointment for a
conference “at Yakima Monday of
next week.
The construction of the Highline
canal at Kennewick would embrace
some of the finest land in the North
west, covering ' the area back and
above the present Highlands canal.
It would extend from'Kiona to the
Wallula Gap district below Hover
and would provide thousands of
acres of land tributary to Kenne
wick.
Estimates and survey of the proj
ect have long been on file with the
department and the construction
cost of the unit is far below that of
the Rosa, with land that is super
ior to that in the upper valley de

he U. 8. town of Point Roberts,
Washington is more Canadian in
its habits than American,
Situated on a tiny six-square-mile
point northwest of Bellingham, {t s
reached by auto only by driving
through Canadian territory.” One

This strange condition is explain
