THE OLD AND NEW WAY.
Some Important Facts Which May
Prove Helpful.

Thirty years ago old fashioned
cod liver oil had to be forced down a
patients. throat. Invalids couldn't
take it, and children wouldn't. But
the doctors prescribed it, and it had
to be taken by force. Yet it cured
people where enough could be taken
into the system, for it has ever been
the greatest of all tissue builders
and general reconstructors known to
medicine.
We are now anxious to have every
one know that Vinol is new form of
this very old nd valuable remedy,
containing in a concentrated form
all the medicinal elements of cod
liver oil, actually taken from fresh
Gods livers, but by an extractive
nd concentrating process it Is made
without oil or grease, and it is as
delicious to the tste as fresh or
ange.
Vinol does not upset the stomach
like old fashioned cod liver oil and
emulions; its Strengthening and
healing properties are remarkable,
and both doctors and patients are de-
lighted with its action.

SOON UNDER WATER.
Hanford Tracts Shortly Ready for
Cultivation.

The big power plant of the Han
ford Irrigation and Power company
which has been under construction
at Priest Rapids the last year, will
be completed this month, unless an
unlocked for delay occurs. The ma
chinery that has arrived is being in
stalled and the rest of it is now on
the way. The entire plant will be
completed and in running order by
early spring when it is planned to
turn water into the Hanford ditch.
The Priest Rapids power plant will
be the largest and will furnish the
greatest water power in the state. It
is said the rapids are capable Of fur
nishing 100000 horsepower, and tn ,
Hanford plant will have a capacity Of
10000 horsepower. 1t will furnish
power to irrigate about 5000 acres
of land along the Columbia this year,
and this amount of land will be dou-
bled In the next three years. The
canal of the Hanford company is 81
miles in length.
With the near completion of the
big plant near at hand, affairs are
taking on an active appearance along
the Columbia eivrr. Settlers are
moving into the country, and there
is active in real estate. Erlie j.
Barnes, one of the local representa-
tieys of the company, went to Priest
Rapids today with a party of men
interested in the country. People
are moving into the country from all
parts of the state.

OF this class in the various parts of
the state and in general oversee and

The classification of the school dis
tricts of the state as proposed by the
commission, calls for the division of
all districts including a city of the
first or second class. The second
would be made up fall other dis
tricts embracing within their limits
an incorporated city. The third class
would be composed of all rural dis
tricts.
The members of the commission
are of the opinion that more direct
supervision of the rural districts is
necessary than is received in the
great majority of the rural districts
at present. The commission would
provide for the appointment of SUI
pervisor Off every twenty or thirty
districts. Neighboring districts to
this number would be united for the
purpose of choosing supervisor who
would inspect the schools in the sec
ton for which he was chosen and
report to the county superintendent
He would also advise with the teach
ers of these schools. organize teach
ers' institutes and in various other
ways attempt to unity and improve

DRAINAGE SYSTEM
IMMENSE WORKS PLANNED
FOR SUMMYSIDE COUNTRY
Meeting ut Granger With Reclama-
ton Service Officials Present
to Consider tho Plan.


bers of the Water Users association
of this vicinity met Saturday in
Menser's hall for the purpose of dis
cussing the circulation of a petition
to be presented to the government
reclamation service in Strengthening
an appeal for a drainage system
throughout the Sunnyside, Outlook
and Granger sections. Similar meet
ings have been held at Sunnyside and
Outlook and many ranchers and bust
ness men from those points were in
attendance at Saturdays meeting.
George P. Eaton, secretary of the
Granger Land company, was made
chairman of the meeting. Already
petitions have been circulated in the
Sunnyside and Outlook districts and
a large number of signers have been
secured. Mr.. Dopps of Outlook has
personally covered that territory as
far as Snipes mountain lateral. The
general opinion of the meeting was
to the effect that such systems of
drainage in the low sections of the
the valley should be built at once
an every rancher present showed a
willingness to sign such petition
should it be covered by a clause to
theeffect that the drainage systems
erected would be continued to such
points as would be beneficial to the
ranchers in this vismity.
While the systems now planned
would not benefit the ranchers north
of Granger, the property owners are
nearly all willing to sign the petit
ton, as they readily see how an in
crease in property values east Of
them would increase their own land
values. The natural flow of water
north of here is in a southwesterly
direction and the drainage necessary
for them would have to be built in
a different section than for the prop
critics east.
Mr.. Day, of the reclamation SER
vice, was present at the meeting and
assured the association members that
the government engineers have prom
ised to give the matter very careful
consideration and was Of the opinion
that, should the matter be brought
to the governments attention
through the ranchers' petitions and
their applications for water rights,
the work would not be delayed.
AS the work already under consid-
Grafton was principally for the bene-
fit of Sunnyside and Outlook ranch
ers, the members of the association
from this vicinity decided that It
would be better to have the petit
lions and applications read to the
effect that the drainage system
should be extended to cover this sec
tion as well and the name of Gran
ger included in the same. This new
feature will be taken up by the trus-
tees of the Sunnyside association at
their meeting Monday, after which
the matter will be taken up by the
Commercial club here at a general
meeting of the ranchers and business
men.
