YAKIMA VALLEY
LOOKING GOOD
Alex Mcpherson Says Farmers
Are Making Fine Progress
With Springs Work.

Alex Mcpherson, president of the
Western Pacific Securities company.
has returned from ten day trip
which has taken him entirely over the
Three Rivers country, more properly
known as the Yakima valley. Mr..
Mcpherson has been inspecting the
development of spring farming work
thruout the valley, and is quite pleas
ed with the progress which he is able
to report is being evidenced.
"Of course things look fine every
where 1 have been, but the earlier
growing season which Kennewick and
the country contiguous to it enjoys,
has put the local country and farmers
slightly in advance of other adjacent
vicinities not so naturally favored.
Everywhere, however, things look to-
ward mighty good year. The same
force in nature which makes sap run
in the trees and plants is coursing
energy and renewed life in the veins
of the people, and there will be lot
of advancement all over the valley this
year, that will enhance our particular
country in appearance and riches. We
live in a favored spot, and are forging
ahead very rapidly" said Judge Nc
Pherson to representative of the
Courier Reporter on his return to Ken
newick. II am glad to be back again. .
Mr.. McPherson's company, which
has local Office in the Kennewick
hotel building, is locating many farm
ers on raw and improved land in the
Three Rivers country. The company
and its agents, through a continuous
advertising campaign have been in
strumental in, developing hundreds of
acres of raw land. It is bringing
farmers from Montana, Wyoming,
Idaho, Oregon, California ard many
other western states, to land about
Kennewick. Mr.. McPherson's trip
took him entirely thru the valley and
to the home Office of the company,
which is located in Seattle.
Mr.. Mcpherson stated that he had
made the trip matter of a study of
the country as well as of business.
He reports that his company has es-
tablished agents and Offices at nearly
all of the towns between Kennewick
and Ellensburg and is now prepared to
locate farm seekers in any locality in
the Yakima valley.
K Mr. Mcpherson has been in charge
of the local Office of his company, but
his duties are now calling him into
larger field, and his presence at the
local Office in the future vii be more
in the nature of visits and inspection
trips, although he will continue to
make his headquarters here. Mr..
Mcpherson plans to devote great
deal Of his attention to field work,
aiding the farmers in the develop
ment of their farms, and farm work.
His life work has been devoted to
this, largely in Idaho and Utah and
his wide experience has made him an
expert in irrigation, agriculture and
horticulture

COLLECTS s11,87s INSURANCE.
Largest Amount Ever Paid Iitigant in
District Court Is Recorded.

/One of the largest amounts ever paid
to a litigant in the district court was
paid to Mrs. Helen PinKney Bacon, OF
Chicago. today in the form of check
for $11,S7S.63. Mrs. Bacon sued the
Penn Mutual Life Insurance company
of Philadelphia, for the amount of an
insurance policy carried by her father,
Arthur Pinkney, an insurance man who
died here in April. 1915. The case
was decided in the supreme court
about a month ago.
Helen Pinkney was the daughter of
Arthur Pinkney by his first wife.
Prior to his death Pinkney attempted
to surrender his policy for cash ana
died while the negotiations were in
progress. Two years later his second
wife. Jennie Il. Pinkney, died. Her
administrators found the insurance
policy in an old desk in the Central
National bank building and attempted
to collect it, but the Penn company
claimed Pinkney had obtained the
money on it. May Agnes Hurd, ad-
ministratrix for Mrs. Pinkney's estate,
brought suit. Helen Pinkney Bacon,
only daughter of Pinkney by his first
wife, interpleaded TO obtain the mon
ely on the policy. but the court sus-
tanned demurrer to her petition and
held that she was not entitled to the
money because she was not mentioned
in the policy as a beneficiary.
Helen P. Bacon appealed to the su-
preme court and John Hamilton took
the case as her attorney The SUI
preme court reversed the decision OF
the district court, holding that the re-
mainder of the value of the policy
should go to Mrs. Bacon after the
payments which should have gone tc
Mrs. Pinkney during her life time were
deducted and paid to the Pinkney es-
tate. These amounted to $1,S56.25
Judgment was rendered against the
insurance company in the case
brought against it by May Agnes Hurd
