WATCH SAMMY
BY KATHARINE EecLEsToN
Of the VIellantes.


A bloated, boastful-looklng man sat
at lunch table alone. Men came to
him occasionally. He made notes in a
small book. He was engaged in the
highly-useful profession of book-mak-
ing.
His bulging eyes caught sight of a
wristwatch on the arm of young
man In khaki. ..
"Humph pretty Sammy and his

know how to fight Won't the business

People around him burned at the In
suit to the uniform. The lady with
the khaki-clad Sammy rose and went
to the check-stand. She returned with
pair of crutches. The Sammy's right
leg was off at the knee.
Thrilling to the effectiveness of the
reproof to the unpatriotic animal and
thrilling with deeper something that
brought the tears, every man and wom-
pn in the restaurant rose. AS the hero
went out they stood at attention in
silence vocal with their acknowl-
edgment of the superb sacrifice for
them and the worlds democracy made
by that precious Wrist-Watch Sammy.

Hearings On
Power Bill

The congressional committee Sc
lected upon the suggestion of Pres
ident Wilson to frame water pow.
er bill, began their hearings last
Monday. Secretary of the Interior
Lane was the first witness called
and presented the argument for the
administration measure, which he
! framed in conjunction with Secre-
taries Baker and Houston in an
effort to reach a comprehensive So
luton of water power questions.
AS has been predicted, what little
opposition is nanifesting itself is
centering around the recapture
clause and the terms upon which
the government may take control
at the expiration of leases.
The bill has the endorsement,
generally, of conservationists, wa
terpower companies and investment
brokers. The latter asked for some
concessions, but said the measure
is the best that has ever been seri-
ously considered.
Henry j. Pierce of Seattle, who
is the third man in the ring" for
the General Electric and it's subsid-
iaries in the west, who are plan
ming to develop Priest Rapids in
the event favorable bill is passed,
testified before the committee.
He explained the project in detail
and declared that with few
amendments the bill is acceptable
generally to the water power inter-
ests.
He approved the plan of placing
the entire subject under one super
vision, suggested that preferential
rights be granted those who have
made preliminary expenditure, as
he said his company had done, and
urged some extensions of values
for rate making purposes.
Calvin Townley of the Westing-
house company. said that because
of the constantly decreasing cost of
steam power, the results from the
bill would be disappointing.

trio Bond & Shares company, says

About 40 ranchers turned out at
Codding hall Monday night to the
meeting called by the county Coun-
Gil of Defense. Ex-Judge Bert
Linn, Luke Powell and j. F. Seeks,
all from Prosser, were the speak
ers. Although it was announced
that the meeting was for the pur-
pose of discussing wage scale for
ranch work, little was said on the
subject. Instead. one of the speak
ers, who took up most of the time,
decided to give lecture on Ger
man war practises. The crowd lis
tened patiently until he had fin
ished, in the hope that one OF the
of the other speakers would touch
on the question that caused them
to turn out, but got little sat!sfac-
ton. The only thing that was said
was that in some places in Yakima
county, ranch hands were receiving
SO SO per day for day work and
$50 90 and board, by the month.

feet high, around the well has been
hauled out, and the fence will be

the ranchers out there that he
would have a drill going in 80
days.
When he went to the Sound
about the middle of the week, Mr..
Lemcke said he was undecided
about the organization of the COM
pany. He says he is in touch with

capital there, he feels that they
will demand the big end of the
deal and when he left, was con-
S dering the organization of a

The all absorbing question this
week in the Benton county oil sit
ua,ion is: "Is there really oil in
the Archie Brown we'll out in Cold
Creek, about 20 miles west of
White Bluffs?"
Experience having proved that
the land out there is of little value
without water, MIR. and Mrs.
Brown decided a year. ago to make
try for an artesian we'll. A drill
was secured AID operations started
last spring. After many mishaps
and accidents, a depth of 600 feet
was finally reached when the en-
CINE refused longer to operate the
drill and the driller quit about the
first of last December. After the
we'll had been standing a few
weeks, peculiar substance rose to
the surface of the 400 feet of wa
ter, through which great difficulty
was experienced in sinking a $50
pound sand bucket. 1t looks like
oil.
The we'll was called to the atten-
tion of H. w.. Lemcke about ten
days ago. Realizing the enormous
possibilities of the undertaking,
and in the full belief that the drill
ing of few feet more will uncover

no developmens will result. If the
government does not take the prop
erty at the end of so years, he as
serted, it must assure the lessee of
at least 80 years more and the
right to continue earning reason
able returns, because investors do
not care to take chances on what
will happen in SO years.
The:hearings before the commit
tee will continue for some little
time yet but everyone believes that
the bill will be passed by this con-
gress in substantially it's original
form.

Love in Fishdom.

This is no "ish" story as the term
is usually referred to, but it is a story
about fish. Jim Foster, student of fish
affairs, vouchos for its authenticity.
Jim has a collection of big live fish
in a small aquarium in a downtown
restaurant and for - hours every night
he watches them perform.
"The fish are very a~ffectionate," de-
clared the fish student. "They are
goOd-tempered and kind toward one an
other. See those two largest fish?
They are married I guess, or else in
love with each other. They always
kiss each other good night and nibble
affectiOnately at each others mouths.
The female of the two never puts her
cold fins on the male ones back. And
in the mOrning-say, it's amusing to
watch them yawn and stretch them
selves."-Detroit Free Press.

THIRD LIBERTY LOAN


Essex County attained its quota on
the third Liberty Bond sale on Thursday
the following figures indicate. There
probably will be a few more sales before
Saturday. A farming community like
this county may well feel proud Of the
fact that at a time of year when every
one needs their capital for putting in
crops they were able to purchase. That
ne county was thoroughly ~canvassod is
patent from the fact that over 60 per-
cent of the voters in the county sub
scribed and almost 10 percent of the
population. Bloomfield attained its
quota April 80.
