GREENS WIN THEIR CASE
Jury Grants $1,169.23 Judgment
Against A. HI. RcichFey.

A judgment of $1,169.26 against A
H. Reichley. former proprietor of the
Foam hotel, was awarded this morn
ing by al ury in the first division of
the districtc curt to NJ. L. and Lee
Green, who sued Reichley for s4.-
0S7.S0 on an alleged breach of con-
tract. Reichley filed a cross petition
asking a judgment of $3.50 from the
Greens.
One of Reichley's contentious was
that the Greens refused to pay him
for the full amount of coal he had on
hand January 1, 1918, but the Jury
found that they had offered him in
voice price and that they had also de-
posted $4,000 in the bank according
to contract.
The case was begun when Reichley
is alleged to have refused to turn the
hotel over to the Greens according to
contract on January 1, after they had
sold out their interests in Noel, Mo-,
and moved to Topeka preparatory to
taking charge of the property. They
were allowed $1,000 for breach of con-
tract and the balance for expenses

SAYS HOME IS OK.
p. w. Griggs Asserts County
Farm Conditions Sanitary.
More Room Is Great Need,
Says Commissioner.

The report that the present county
home for the INDECENT poor is I'M
healthful or unsanitary and that the
inmates are not properly cared for
and well fed, is matter in which P.
w. Griggs, county poor commissioner.
takes firm stand to the contrary.
"A great deal has been said" OBJ
served Grisgs. about the unsanitary
and shameful place we now have, and
a great deal of rejecting on the char
acter of the superintendent and his
helpers. ! wish to say that in all the
homes to which 1 have gone with the
superintendent to get these present
inmates of the farm. we have not
found them in a single place to be
compared with the home they now
have for clean and sanitary conditions
and the quantity and quality of the
food.
LAS proof of this. among sixty peo-
ple-old. young and middle aged.
crowded as they are and as unhealth-
full as the place is said to be-not one
case of influenza has yet appeared in
the county home"
Inmates Well Fed.
Griggs and the county commission
ers all say they have been at the coun-
and that there is always a considera-
BILE amount of food left on the table.
The quality of this food. they say. is
the best obtainable, yet the feeding
problem has been worked out so scien-
tif1cally that the cost for each inmate
| is less than thirteen cents a meal.
THE county outsid. the city," said
Griggs, pays at least one-fourth OF
the taxes. yet furnishes only about
one-tenth of the inmates of this home
| Besides, the county is caring for hun
dreds of poor in the city by furnish
| ing hundreds Of tons of coal and thou
sands of dollars worth of food scarce
ly any of eth, r soing outside the city
limits. According to reports, the
coanty home is giving the poor better
care at less cost than any other in
stituticn in the county"
I Need More Room.
| Griggs explained that the superin-
| tendent of the farm is not allowed t.
| take persons there without an order
from the commissioner. who is to see
| that the inmate . is properly fed
clothed and housed. The creates
handicap the present administration
has had and still has. he said, is lacl
! of room to properly house the man,
! who have made applications for places
| In the home. 1t was this condition
that led the commissioners to hav,
the building of the new home ant
hospital.
IF the commissioners had any 9th
! err idea when these bonds were votec
for" said Griggs, than to build tn
new home on the present county farm
1 do not know it. But if they did. the.
certainly gave many of the voters t,
understand that that was the onll
| logical place for it and that it wouit
be built there. Hence, some of US vot
ed for the bonds who would not hav'
done so otherwise.

its domination of the market, the pro-
ducers would be able to compete ana
the miners would not be out Of jobs.
THE movement is the best thing
that ever happened to the Kansas coal

HE FAVORS CLEAN COAL
j. p. Monaghan Also Predicts a Drop
in Price Soon.

at is the first time in a period of
twenty years" said P. ]. Monaghan,
of the Southwestern Coal Co., this
morning, that representatives of the
coal producers and coal miners have
been able to get together on a propo-
sitio1 to clean the coal mined in Kan
sas.'' He spoke in reference to the
conference of eighty representa- of
the coal producers and miners who
plans putting Kansas coal on the mar
ket free froM rock and dirt.
THE zone system established dur
ing the war" said Monaghan, while
it was intended to relieve congestion
by Forcing people to use the supply at
| home, had another end in view, that
of educating people to use the same
supply after the zone system was re-
leased"
According to President Alexander
Howat, of the united mine workers,

the Illinois business and has forced
| them to look to markets that have
been previously dominated by Kansas.

The big sale of orchard lands under
the ditch consumated this week indi-
Gates what men of experience in the
fruit growing business think about
Okanogan valley land as an invest
ment. The buyer in this instance is a
man who has devoted the last ten years
to the raising Of apples, and has made
a success o. that undertaking. He be-
lieves that the apple game is worth
Sticking to. He bases his views on his
experience He puts his money in land
under the West Okanogan Valley Irri-
cation system feeling that it is a per-
|fectly safe investment, and it is safe
prediction that he will reap hand
some profit from his new possessions.
AS a practical fruit grower he will
continue to improve the land. and as
it is improved it will become more val
liable. The transaction is big adver-
tisement for the valley, the true pro-
Iductivity of whie- is not generally
known on the outside. AS compared
with similar lands in other fruit dis
tricts the Okanogan valley lands are
most attractive as to price, and we
would not be surprised if this sale was
not followed by other large transact
ions in this vicinity.
