Melee Buys
More Land

The Robert MAZE tract, Just
east of the Robert Mss.Donell place,
was sold last weeksto Malcolm Nc
Fee and associates 9osss Seattle, the
deal being made Through F. M.
We'll. The ranch consists OF about
10 acres, part of which is set to
three-year-old apple treeH. 1t is
all seeded to alfalfa. There are
two wells on the place from which
water is secured toll irrigate. 1t
also has a neat little two-room
house and concretes cellar. The
soil on the ranch is exceptionally
good. Mr.. Maier has expended
close to $4,000 on the place, and
while the Spokesman did not learn
the exact consideration, it is re-
ported to have been not a great
deal in excess of What Mr.. Maier
paid for the land III the raw state.
Harry Coleman has been engaged
to operate the ranch this season.

New Land To
Be Improved

F. M. Hill arrived from Seattle
Monday night and is busy installing
his pumping machinery preparatory
to improving his tract north of
town. Mr.. Hill has the place all
seeded to winter wheat now and
Just as soon as the weather warns
up little will seed it all to alfal-
ia. Mrs. Hill will come over
about April LIST and will bring the
household goods with her. Mr..
Hill, who was motorman on one
Of the Seattle street car lines, is
here on leave of absence but he
says he does not intend to go back,
and will make White Bluffs his
home.

FarmLoan Bank
To Open Soon

Announcement of the names of
the directors of the Spokane farm
loan bank will be made this week,
it is believed, and the organization
date fixed a short time after, so
that the system may be put into
operation next month. The delay
has resulted from the pressure of
business of some members of the
board. Failure of congress to
make appropriations, should it oc-
cur, will not affect the situation, as
money for inaugurating the system
is already fully provided.
Some members of the federal
board will attend an organization
meeting at Sopkane. Secretary
McAdoo was unable to make the
trip with the board to the Pacific
coast when the hearings were held,
and he had hoped to make this trip,
but said today that it appears i'm
possible for him to get away. The
member who goes will direct or
ganization of the Spokane and
Berkeley banks.
The directors thus far have been
named for the Columbia, New Or
leans, Wichita, and Omaha banks.
The Wichita district is expected to
be first under way. and the making
of loans there within two weeks is
predicted.

kincaid, 100
Moreland, SIS

In spite Of the fact that the con-
test was somewhat one-sided, there
was a great deal more interest TAX
en- in the election of q school direc-
tor last Saturday than this fact
would indicate to an outsider. One
hundred and sixty four votes were
cast, which is only Is or 20 less
than the total number in the dis
trict, j. S. Moreland receiving 55
votes and ". j. Kincaid 100, fall
ing just one short of being two
to one shot.
No one expects Mr.. Kincaid to
revolutionize things but the size of
his majority is pretty conclusive
evidence that the patrons in the
district desire a change in the pol
icy of the board.
Mr.. Kincaid will assume his new
duties on Monday, March 18th and
may the Good Lord have mercy on
him for the next three years.

Shields Bill
Is Defeated

The Shields water power bill for
the leasing and regulationssof water
power plants on government
streams was defeated in the closing
hours of the last congress, when
house and senate conferees failed
to reach an agreement on it's pro-
visions.
The fate Of the bill was of much
interest locally. Had it been en-
acted into law, the power site at
Priest Rapids, the largest undevel-
oped site in the United States and
one of the largest in the world,
would no doubt have been devel-
oped in the near future. Of all
the sites possible Of development,
this one is the big plum.
The failure of the Shields bill to
pass will no doubt result in re-
newed effort to have the site devel-
oped by the government. The fact
that the evidence before the COM
mittee of Cabinet members appoint
ed by President Wilson strongly
recommends Priest Rapids as one
of the two most available sites for
government nitrate plant, has
given much encouragement to those
favorable to the site being devel-
oped by federal ais, and ,Zfrom in
formation that has reached the
Spokesman it can safely be said
strong effort will he made to per-
suade. the government to tackle. the
lob,
