A party of P. p. & L. officials,
including the assistant head engi-
neer, head transformer man, an Of
ficial of the Portland office and AL
bert S. Hall of Pasco were piloted
to Priest Rapids Monday by Charles
M. Sanford of the Hanford office.
1t was said that the trip was one Of
inspection only and had no signifi-
canoe from development stand
point. The Spokesman, however,
was informed the first of the week
by parties who claimed to be in a
position to know, that the water
power leasing bill would surely. be
passed during the present session
of congress. which is expected to
expire on July 1st. These parties
also said that the bill would not be
passed as separate measure but
would be included in one Of the
war measures. So

LefnCke Buys
Lutz Ranch

Fl. w Lemcke last Friday ac-
quired title to the M. j. Lutz ranch
west of town. The ranch contains
forty acres. Part of it is in trees
and the rest is seeded to alfalfa.
1t has Hanford water right.
There is a fairly good house and
barn on the place and a good well.
In addition to the ranch, Mr.. Lem.
cke also became the owner of all
the machinery, farm tools and
stock on the place, among the last
named being several head of dairy
cows. Mr.. Lemcke is undecided
whether to move on to the place
or have some one operate it for
him. The Spokesman was unable
to learn the consideration. Mrs.
Lutz, who has been looking after
the place this spring, left Monday
with her friend, Mrs. G. ID. Patch,
for Seattle, where she will prob
ably make her home.

Spokane F.G.Co
To Market Fruit

Clyde Perkins, representing the
Spokane Fruit Growers company,
has been putting in busy week in
the valley, signing up the growers
for his company. The sentiment
in the Hartford end of the valley
was almost unanimous for the Spo-
kane company, growers owning full
ly rs per cent Of the fruit there
have already signed up with them
and several others who have not
yet been seen have expressed a de-
sire to join. Thursday and today
MIR. Perkins has been covering the
territory around White Bluffs. On
Thursday night he said he had sig
natures of White Bluffs growers
for over 10000 boxes of fruit, the
minimum amount the company will
accept to enter field, and that he
had covered only small portion Of
the territory. From sentiments
heard expressed, it is believed the
Spokane company will get as much
tonnage here as at Hanford, which
means that they will handle be-
tween 200 and 800 cars of fruit
out of the valley this year.
AS soon as Mr.. Perkins has GOV.
cred the field, he will call a meet
ing of those who have signed, from
which will be chosen a board Of
trustees to serve for this year.
The Spokane company has also
made arrangements to take over
the Growers Warehouse and will
treble it's capacity for warehouse
and packing purposes.
The success the Spokane Fruit
Growers company has had and the
thorough business-like manner in
which they handle their affairs
weighed heavily in their favor with
the growers in this valley just as it
did with the growers around Rich
land and Kennewick.
Mr.. Perkins believes the ranchers
here are overlooking a good bet in
strawberries, and if he is placed in
charged here, says he is going to
do everything possible to increase
the acreage. Berries Thursday
were netting the Kennewick- Rich
land growers SAILS per crate.

Make War
on Sage Rats

A small-sized war has broken out
in the valley with the ranchers
lined up on one side and the sage
rats on the other-the former try
ing to save their seed corn and the
latter seemingly bound and de-
termined to shorten the food sup
ply. The defenders are employing
every known method Of modern and
ancient warfare in such contests.
carbonate bisulphide, arsenate of
lead, strychnine, gasoline and the
good old %, while the invaders
seem to know all there is to know
about trench methods. At this
writing it is about toss-up as to
who will win.

WHlLeaseUnsold
Lands for Taxes

Charles M. Sanford, ma 1ager Of
the Consumers Ditch company, says
that his company will lease any Of
it's unsold lands where the cost of
new .laterals is not too great, to
any one for only the taxes and wa
ter maintenance. And that for the
first year or such time as it takes
to get the alfalfa or other crops
started, the company will furnish
all the water that is needed for the
contract price of $3.50 per acre.
The company will also, unless the
demand should become too great,
sell water to any one owning land
below the ditch, who smight want
to improve and who has no Hanford
water right.
This innovation is somewhat of
departure from the policy of the
company since the power interests
got control Of the Hartford COM
pany several years ago, and the de-
csion to make the change was no
doubt infuencedsstena great extent
by the war situation9and the gener-
al demand for increased food pro-
duction.S's Mr.. Sanford did not say
whether, the new arrangement
would terminate with the war or
become a permanent policy but
this question will probably.be gov
enned largely by future conditions.

Plans Changed


Electrification crews of the Mil.
waukee railroad which were work.
ing on the line between Othello and
South Gle Elum, have been ordered
to change from the Columbia to
the Coast division. Material which
was being unloaded at Othello and
other points, preparatory to begin.
ming actual construction of pole
lines, was ordered loaded back on
the cars and shipped to South Gle
Elum.
Railroad officials have decided to
!electrify the Coast division be-
tween Seattle and Tacoma and
South Gle Elum first, instead of the
Columbia division between Othello
and South Gle Elum.
Survey crews located at Ellens-
burg have been shifted to the Coast
division. Surveys had progressed
toward completion and orders had
been issued to start work setting
poles and building substations.
Several reasons are given for the
change. The first is that the Mil
waukee's fuel oil contract with the
Standard Oil company expires with
in 80 days and the Standard COM
psny has refused to renew it for
longer than 90-dsy periods and that
at twice the old rate. 1t is impos-
sible to use coal burners through
the forest reserves in the noun
tains, while coal burners can be
used between South Gle Elum and
Othello without danger.
Another reported reason is that
power plants on the Sound will be
ready to transmit electric power
for the Sound division before the
hydro-electric plant north Of Spok-
ane will be ready to deliver power
for the Columbia division.
A third reason is that work in
the mountains can not be handled
in winter, whereas work in the Col
umbia river territory can proceed
any month in the4year. 1t is be-
lieved that the Coast division can
be completed during 1911 and that
by January /, 1918, trans between
the Sound and South Gle Elum will
be operated by electricity. As
soon as that work is completed
work on the Columbia division will
start, it is said.

IF. j. Bonn today severed his con-
nection with The Produce company
and has entered the fruit game.
He is undecided at this time wheth-
err he will line up with one Of the
several big fruit companies that
are planning on entering the valley
or whether he will go it alone. He
has three propositions under con-
sheraton now. Mr.. Bonn has
moved his office furniture into the
same building with the Wommack
meat market, where he will be To-
Gated for the time being.

Home Guards to
Drill Outdoors

The home guards drilled Wednes-
day night and will drill again to-
night. They are progressing nicely
lin their work, SO we'll in fact that
the Instructor will have them per-
form in the open Sunday after
noon. The Spokesman has been
requested to ask all who have cars
ito pick up on their way to the
drills as many as they can of those
who have no easy way of coming in.
Mr.. We'll went to Hanford Thurs
day night, where he assisted in
starting the boys on their way to
the organization of a home guard.
After the drilling at both places
gets under way in earnest, it is
hoped that the. drilling nights will
be so arranged that those from
White Bluffs can go down and work
with the Hanford boys on the
nights they drill and that the Han
ford boys can reciprocate. 1t is
believed that this will make the
work much more interesting. In
the event that enough enroll in the
two places to secure free guns and
ammunition, the plan is to estab-
lish the rifle range about midway
between the two places, probably
in the vicinity of the Brick school
house.
Everybody is requested to be
present at the drill tonight and,
particularly at the outdoor work
Sunday.

she ended, smiling in spite of herself.
Her hair was badly rumpled; she
had been crying, and he could see it,,
but he had never looked upon such
tcar-stained, smiling, and dishevelled
loneliness.
As he looked and marvelled, her
smile died out; it came TO her with
n distinct shock that this water-logged
specimen of sun-tanned manhood must
be Crawford.
" Are your" she said, scarcely aware
that she spoke.

" Mr.. Crawford"
Why, yes-and, of course, you are

Il saw your name in the guest-book
this morning. Awf'lly glad you came
Miss Castle; hope you'll let me show
you where the big fellows lie"
You mean the fish, she said, with
composure.
The shock of suddenly realizing that
confused her. she made an effort to
get things back into proper perspective,
Tor the river was swimming before
her eyes, and in her ears rang a strangely
pleasant voice-Crawford' s--saying all
sorts of good-humored things, which
she heard but scarcely comprehended
lnstlnctively she raised her hands
to touch her disordered hair; she stood
there naively twisting it into shape
again, her eyes constantly reverting
to the sun-tanned face before her.
" And | have the pleasure of knowing
your guardian Mr.. CARBIDE, very
shghtly-in business way" he was
saying, politely.
"Ophlr Steel, she said
He laughed
Oh, we are making a great battle"
he said I'm only hoping we NAV

CARBIDE. "
4 thought you had already come
to an understanding" she observed,
calmly.
Have We? l hope so; / had not
heard that, he said, quickly. How
did YOU hear?'
Without warning she flushed scarlet
to her neck; and she was as amazed
AS he at the surging color staining
her white skin.
She could not endure that-she
could not face him-so she bent her
head little in recognition of his
presence and stepped past him, out
along the riveF-bank
He looked after her. wondering what
he could have said.
She wondered, too. and her wonder
grey that instead of self-pity, repug-
nance, and deep dread, she should feel
