Meeting
Postponed

The White Bluffs Land & Irri-
cation company did not send a
proxy for its stock and in conse-
quence there was not a sufficient
amount represented to constitute a
quorum at the stockholders meet
ing of the White Bluffs Water COM
pany at the school house Tuesday
evening.
The problems of the company
were informally discussed by the
stockholders present and the con-
sensus Of opinion seemed to be to
stay with the company another
year, even though the maintenance
may reach the sum of SIG per acre.
There are few, however, who say
that they will not take water if the
maintenance is more than $40.
The White Bluffs Land & Irriga-
ton company, who are the largest
stockholders, are themselves unde-
cided as to what they will do this
year, and it was because they had
not yet decided, So they said, that
they did not send their proxy in
time for the Tuesday night meet
ing.
They promised, however, to make
their decision so that their proxy,
stating their intentions, would reach
here on Friday nights train. The
meeting was adjourned to Tuesday
evening, January 18th.

Social T---4
Of Season

What was undoubtedly the social
event Of the season, took place We'd
nesday night at the Bobalou ranch,
Murray E. Cobb, who is keeping
bachelor quarters there during the
absence of the Lemckes, being
"hostess."
Five Hundred made up the prin-
cipal part of the entertainment, al
though there were other things
that were entertaining. For in
stance, there was Leo Chambers.
Leo may be able to convince some
people that the Lord did not intend
him for the stage, but he will never
be able to make his audience We'd
nesday night think so. The Vic
trola, and other guests also, made
themselves useful as we'll as orna-
mental. Before their departure,
dainty supper was served. The
supper was prepared by Mrs. VIM.
Beldin, who will have charge of the
kitchen in the new hotel in town,
which will be open to the public in
the near future, and was pronounc-
led delicious.
The serving was done by the
"hostess, assisted by the gay and
debonair Ann and Violet. The
graceful and dainty manner with
which they performed this function
caused a perfect storm of futters
among the hearts of the opposite
sex, and it is thought that some
thing serious may result from the
affair. Everybody who attended
said they had glorious time and
only regretted that such gatherings
are not held oftener.

| Of hydrophobia in this territory oc-
tcufred on the Muir ranch, across
1 the Columbia from Hanford, last
Saturday night. A horse Belong
ling to F. C. Koppen of Wahluke

land tearing himself and his mate
dreadfully. Both horses were shot
Sunday.
The team had been running loose
near Wahluke for some time, and
had been taken to the Muir ranch
for the winter few days previous
to. the occurrence. 1t is believed
that the horse had been bitten by a
coyote infected with gabies, there
having been several cases of rabies
reported from southern Grant
county.
When Gabriel Jadden, manager
Of the Fischer Bros. ranch of Wah-
luke. was in town this week, he
said that just prior to Christmas

killed after it was determined that

ing been bitten by mad coyotes.
He said also that George Arrow

infected COW.

to a crop for series of years. is the
farmer who succeeds. Taking hogs
as, an instance, the general average
for the last seven years on the Port
land market has been 1910 per
hundred. The farmers who stuck
to hogs during that time, if they
have conducted the business with
