Hanford Case
In Federal
Court

order OF the Public Service COM
mission, fixing the maintenance
charge under the Hanford canal at
$3.50 for the contract allowance Of
80 inches, was confiscatory, the
Consumers Ditch company, through
it's attorney, Elmer E. Todd, has
filed an action in the Federal court
at North Yakima, asking that a
permanent injunction be granted
against the enforcement of the or
der and that the case be tried out
on its merits, urging especially the
claim that the Public Service COM
mission has no jurisdiction in this
case.
Summons have been issued for
Charles A. Reynolds, Frank R.
Spinning and Arthur A. Lewis, of
the Public Service commission and
for the 80 land owners who signed
the complaint to the commission,
upon which the order reducing the
company's charge of $500 to 81 80
was made.
The plaintiff company admits
that it has complied with the order
of the commission and has filed a
new schedule putting the new rates
into effect for the season of 1916,
and is not asking for a temporary
restraining order, but one that will
permanently restrain the COM
mission from interfering with it's
rates.
In the present action the COM
pany complains that the order of
the Public Service commission and
all it's findings are unreasonable,
unlawful, and amount to confisca-
tion.
When preparation was made last
fall for handling the waterusers'
case before the commission. ar
rangements were also made for an
appeal to the courts, and the same
attorneys who have been looking
after the ranchers' interests in the
past three or four years of litiga-
tion, will probably represent them
in the present case.
Herbert C. Harris, of the Walla
Walla Oil, Gas & Pipe Line COM
pany, was in White Bluffs a few
days this week.
Mr.. Harris said that within the
next three or four weeks, his COM
pany expects to put Star drilling
outfit to work in the gas field.
This rig is capable of putting down
16-inch hole to a depth of 500
feet. In the meantime, they ex-
pect to have their big oil drilling
outfit shipped in from California.
1t will take up the work where the
Star outfit leaves off and the hole
will be sunk to a depth of $500
feet, if necessary.
Mr.. Harris sal d further that he
and his associates have given the
field careful study for the past
two months, and feel sure there is
large gas and oil field to be un-
covered here.

700 feet north of the present gas

u. II. BaSSeCJ, VINO was one OF
the government experts sent out
last year by the bureau of markets
to study the fruit marketing prob
lem of the northwest with a view
of devising a feasible marketing
plan, has been sent by the govern
ment again this year to the north
west and will take up the campaign
of carrying out this year the Fruit
growers Agency plan which is the
one recommended by Mr.. Bassett
and associates as the most feasible
and most likely of success.
Agents and experts from the bu-
reau of markets have travelled
much over the northwest in the
past six or eight months, during
which time they have visited prac-
tically all of the large fruit ship
ping districts, and they say that
with a few exceptions, notably We
natchee and Hood River, they have
been very successful in lining up
the growers behind their plan.
The government is acting neither
for the grower nor the shipper but
exercises a sort Of censorship over
the actions of both. The indie
pendence Of the various selling
agencies is not disturbed. They all
will continue to sell the growers
fruit, but under conditions laid
down by the Growers Agency. The
principal condition is uniformity.
Every selling agency joining the
Agency must make a new contract
with every grower or growers as
sociation and this new contract is
uniform everywhere. 1t gives the
grower the exclusive right to fix
the price at which the fruit is to
be sold. subject of course to mar
ket conditions; it provides for a
uniform system of grading and
packing; for a uniform system of
accounting: and for the collection
and dissemination of market in
formation and for joint efforts in
the extension and development of
markets, new and old, both at
home and abroad.
This movement is purely cooper
ative and whether or not it sue
ceeds will depend good deal on
whether the souls of the growers

see about that. She found that

the house on the place of furni-
ture, provisions and all household
utensils, and torn down the fence.

ments to have someone take care

to prosecute all perpetrators Of
these acts of pillage and destruc-

Bassett to Represent
Government Again
With + ruit Growers

have been stepped long enough in
the brine of adversely.
1t is believed that if the move
ment is backed and supported
intellectually, without mental
reservation by the growers and
shippers, that the Fruitgrowers'
Agency will be able to place the
northwest fruit industry on
sound, stable foundation, just as it
did with the onion growers of Tex
as, the raisin growers of California
and several others who needed the
helping hand of the government to
put them on their feet.
But there will be no such found
alton unless it is anchored in the
true spirit of cooperation; and
"the spirit Of cooperation resides
in the hearts of men and not in the
clause of a contract"
The growers in this valley appar-
emily have no definite plan of mar
keting this years crop. Some are
hoping that the cash buyers will
come in; some expect to sell a
good deal by parcel post; others
expect that the Growers Exchange,
that marketed most of the fruit
crop last year, to be revived, and
there are still others who are just
drifting along, hoping, Micawber-
like, that something will turn up"
to solve the question. And here
we are, with a fruit crop about
ready for market. Isn't it about
time somebody said something?
There may be cash huyers. That
will depend to an extent on the
damage done by the frost in other
districts. When asked about the
revival of the Growers Exchange,
H.W. Lemcke, who looked after the
selling end last year, said: ''It is
up to the growers. | propose to
sell my own crop and that Of few
of my neighbors. Whether or not
| do any more will depend on the
growers. | don't expect to take
the initiative"
1t is time some action was taken,
either in an attempt to line up un-
der the government plan or arrive
at some plan that promises to put
the fruit on the market with fair
return to the grower.
