Taxpayers Block Court
House Building Scheme
Superior and Supreme Court Injunc-
lions Tie Commissioners Hands,

The Benton county court house
checker game is still moving along
at the same dizzy speed that char
acterized it at the start and, Incl
dentally, is still holding the intense
interest Of the large crowd of vot-
ers and taxpayers in the county.
The eastsiders, VINO looked like
they were badly cornered last week
by the Judge Grady decision, which
said that all the acts Of The county
commissioners regarding the sale
of the bonds were legal, have re-
covered all of their lost positions
and apparently now have the game
safely slowed away.
Immediately upon receiving the
Judge Grady decision, Clements and
Mcneil, whose terms as commits
sioners Of Benton county are fast
fading, called another 'hurry-up
meeting of the board and shot an
other resolution across, purchasing
a court house site and obligating
the county to pay So, 800 therefor.
The calling for bids for the build
ing of court house was also in
corporated in this resolution, or
another one. After acquiring the
habit, another resolution or two
comes easy to these two old dodgers.
1t is even said that Clements made
one on New Years day that had
something to with the" exhilara5ing
stuff" This, however, is stoutly
denied by some, The bids were to
be opened Saturday and the con-
tract let on that day.
In the meantime the attorneys
for the taxpayers we're also show
ing burst of spees,. They raced
their appeal from the Grady deci-
sion to the supreme court of the
state, and on December 29th Sc
cured from that body q temporary
restraining order against the COM
missioners taking further steps in
the sale of the court house bonds.
This order is made returnable JAN
uary 18th, when it will be neces-
sary for McNeill and Clements to
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1917-01-05

appear before the supreme court
and defend their actions. This
temporary restraining order put
the "kibosh" on the commissioners
: doing anything further with the
bond issue. And just when these
two erstwhile friends of the people
thought they had spied an opening
to shove their court house scheme
across by letting the contract for
the building Of the court house
and binding the county to pay, even
if they should lose out on the APP
peal to the supreme court, the tax
payers attorneys secured an order
from Judge Linn of Prosser re-
straining them from taking any
further action along that line until
the supreme court had decided the
appeal Oh the bond issue. AS Glenn
ents and McNeill's terms as COM
missioners expire on January 18th.
twelve days before the hearing in
the supreme court, it would appear
that the taxpayers are riding easy
with three kings to Clements and
McNeiil's one and that the end of
the game is only matter of time.
The new board of county COM
nissioners, who will take office
next Monday, are e. G. Houston of
Prosser, +. l.. Bash of Hartford
and r. g. Pratt of kennewick.
Houston has flip-fopped around SO
much no one knows just where he
stands on the court house question.
1t would probably be safe, however,
to figure him favorable to the pres
ent plan. Bash informs the Spokes-
man that he wants something more
substantial than the "call" McNeilt
said he got from the people to
build a court house now. No one
in this end Of the county knows
just where Pratt stands on the
question, but there seems to be a
we'll defined suspicion that he posi-
bly, will be opposed to building a
court house in Prosser, particularly
at this time and under the present
plan.

r. 2. u. Mail Boxes Here
Should Be Put Up at Once

ment not later than January 18th.
In order for this to reach
Washington, ID. G. on January 18th
it will be imperative that it leave
White Bluffs on the morning train
of January 10th. Owing to the
bad weather generally at this sea-
son of the year, train service is de-
moralized and for that reason the
affidavit ought to leave on next
Monday mornings train. To do
this it will be necessary to have the
boxes up before next Sunday noon.
The route will be gone over Sun.
day afternoon to gather evidence
for the affidavit. Failure Of the
department to receive the affidavit
from the postmaster that the boxes
on the route are up will result in a
postponemcnt of the date the ser
vice will start. The boxes are
here and it is absolutely up to the
patrons whether the route is estab-
lished ON February End or whether
it is postponed to later date.
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1917-01-05

The r. F. D. mail boxes have ar
rived at The Produce company store
and patrons should get them and
have them erected on the route at
once on permanent post if posi-
BILE, but on a temporary one if nee
essary because of the frozen ground
until such time as the ground thaws
sufficiently to dig the hole for the
permanent post.
When the service is finally estab-
lished and going, the boxes on the
route must be so placed that it
will not be necessary for the CARR
er to leave his rig and at such a
heighth Chat they are easily acces-
sible to the carrier while sitting in
his conveyance.
In order for the service to start
on the date fixed by the post office
MISUNDERSTANDING 2nd-it will
be necessary that an affidavit that
the boxes are all up be made by
the White Bluffs postmaster, and

Company
To Hold llnpor=
tant Meeting

The annual meeting of the stock.
holders of the White Bluffs Water
company will be held next Tuesday
evening, January 9th, at 1880 p. m
at the school house. A board OF
| five directors must be selected and
the meeting is open also for the
transaction of such other business
as the stockholders may wish to
bring up.
| Fhe water company has been
steering rather uncertain course
for the last four years. An annual
maintenance of $40 per acre has
been assessed and collected each
year, but this has not been sutfic.
lent to cover the operation cost,
and the company has been slipping
a little each year, the total indebt-
edness to date being between $1,000
and S1100.
The improper installation of the
pipe line in the first place, causing
unnecessary friction in the line, has
placed a perpetual handicap on the
plant, in consequence of which the
power bills are considerably larger
than they should be.
Up until Judge Bert Linn rem
dered his decision in the Shahan
case last winter, it was presumed
that the maintenance was a lien
upon the land, and that it could be
collected whether the land was u.s.
ing water or not. The Court held,
however, that this was not true SO
far as the White Bluffs Water com
pany was concerned. His decision
in effect placed the operation Of the
water system entirely upon the land
using water, and that the mainte.
nance could be collected only as an
open account and not as a lien
This decision has also done it's part
to surround the water company
with an uncertain atmosphere.
A great many of the stockholders
are undecided as to what course
would be best for the water COM
pany to pursue for the coming irri-
cation season. There is some talk
among a few Of withdrawing from
the company and putting in indi-
vidual plants. Others not SO fav-
orable, for one reason or another,
to that idea are urging that the
ranchers stay with the company for
another year or. until such time as
a more economical and efficient
manner of watering the land is
available. They argue that, at
best, the present, system is tempo
rary and that the same could be
said Of any individual pumping
plant. Most of them think that
some day all the land in the valley
will be watered by one system and
that they do not feel like making
any change unless they are pretty
sure it is for the better.
In the opinion of the Spokesman,
, this latter view is the reasonable
one. 1t is undoubtedly true that
$40 an acre is too much. Yet, in
the light of the experience of those
using individual plants for water
ing their land, it is extremely
doubtful if a change to that method
would result in any saving. And

NEED CLOTHING
FOR POOR PERSONS
Work of Nurses Association Is
Hampered by Scarcity of
Material

With scarcely enough clothing to
keep warm and sufficient food to eat, a
family of five; widow, an infant,
three children whose ages are two,
four and six years, respectively, re-
siding on the West Side are being
cared for by the Visiting Nurses AS
sociation of the Steelton Civic Club.
This family is only one of q num-
ber that depend on the Nurses Asso-
citation for assistance. Aside from
taking care of these husbandless and
fatherless families the association is
looked upon for assistance from IA
miles in the borough where sickness
has totally disabled the bread win
ner
The West Side family has been pro-
Vided for by the association for some
time and with the mother unable to
work on account of sickness much is
left to the charitable body. This
family is supplied with coal and some
food while neighbors relieve the as
sociation quite bit by donations.
Even though the mother was partly
able to work. with the care of these
children on her hands she could not
leave her abode because her weekly
allowance would not be sufficient to
compensate some person to take care
of her children. The children are i'll
at present.
A recent appeal for clothing and
contributions made by THE HAIR
RISBURG TELEGRAPH placed
much clothing in the hands
of the committee. The need
for children's clothing becomes great
er every day, and members of the
association have issued another call
for material. Now that house clean
ing is approaching" said a member
to-day. much old clothing will be
unearthed which would assist the
association in relieving to some eX-
tent the conditions prevalent among
the poorer class of the borough" All
contributions left at McCurdy's drug
store. Front street, will be greatly ap-
preciated by association members.

SUGGESTION TO WOMEN
Who Are lust Ready To Drop

When you are Just ready to drop"
when you feel so weak that you can
hardly drag yourself about-and be-
cause you have not slept well, you
get up as tired-out next morning as
when you went to bed, you need help.
You can get it just as Mrs. Maxwell
did. She says:
Il keep house for my little family
of three, and became completely run
down. l was weak, nervous and could
not sleep; finally I was unable to do
my housework. A friend asked me to
try Ninol. 1 did so and improved
rapidly. 1t toned up my system, l re-
gained my strength, am no longer
nervous, sleep well, and do all my
housework." Mrs. J. =. Maxwell,
Montgomery, Ala.
There is no secret about Ninol. 1t
owes its success to beef and cod liver
peptones, iron and manganese pep
tonates and glycerophosphates. the
oldest and most famous bodybuilding
and strength-creating tonicS.
So many letters like the above are
continually coming to our attention.
that we freely offer to return the
money paid for Ninol in every case
where it fails to give satisfaction.
