MEETS WITH ENCOURAGEMENT.
5. B. Gierde Confident Of Funds to
Start Work on OIL Claims In the
SDrinQ.

The Oroyille- Okanogan Oil company
will be in a position to start drilling
operations on its Cat Creek, Montana,

ton of s. B. Gjerde, manager of the
company, who has just returned from
trip to sound cities in the interests
of his company.
Mr. Gjerde visited Seattle. Kent and
Hobart, where he was formerly engag-
ed in business, and while in the latter
place met with such success in placing
stock in his company and such encour-
agement from prospective purchasers
of stock, that he declares he is salts
fled that when he returns there in a
few weeks he will obtain ample funds
for completing the work necessary
to prove the claims held by his COM
pany.

pany's claims are in the center of a
territory that is described in recent
issue of the Lewistown. Mont. Demo-

STORM BREWING OVER PACT.
Four Power Pact TO Preserve Peace
Promises to Cause Fight.

The four-power pact promises to be
the subject of as bitter division in the
senate as that occasioned by the
League of Nations covenant. The in
terest in the debates will be as great
no doubt For the benefit of those
therefore, who will follow the discus
sions and arguments, we reprint here
the text of the treaty and also the
text of Article X of the League of Ma
tions covenant, as opponents of the
new treaty will maintain that there is
no essential difference between Article
ii of the four power pact and the ia
nous Article X of the covenant.
1.-THE United States of America, the
British Empire, France and Japan.
with view to the preservation of
the general peace and the maintenance
of their rights in relation to their in

LAND SETTLEMENT EXPLAINED
Conditions Announced Under Which
Veterans NAV Ohtain Farms


Standardization of American Le-
gion posts throughout Washington is
being called by state headquarters of
the former service mems organization
to the fact that veterans wishing to
locate on one of the 20 acre tracts at
White Bluffs-Hanford, under the
states land settlement project, must
file an application at Olympia by the
10th of March. The project is open to
others than veterans, and those with
out war service will be entitled to
tracts if enough veterans do not apply
and qualify. Former service men have
a preferential right only, not an ex-
elusive right to the tracts.
Under the provisions made by the
state, man must be married, his
wife must want to farm, he must have
$500 to pay on the tract, and enough
to live on for one year, before he can
qualify. He must also have a certain
amount of agricultural knowledge
or experience. The present project of
1900 acres is only experimental, it is
pointed out, and the requirements are
placed on the strict basis that the pos
sibility OF failure may be reduced to a
minimum. On later projects, the re-
quirements will probably be lessened.
The total value of the twenty acres
with improvements, will be $4,000, it
is estimated. The veteran will be stalk
ed by the state, and given 20 years in
which to pay the balance, after the
deposit of $500. Interest is at per
cent. Provision is made that man
may not sell his tract for ten years. a
measure taken to eliminate specula-
tion All men wishing detailed infor-
nation are advised by the Legion to
write to ID. A. Scott, state director of
reclamation and conservation, who is
in full charge.
Annual report of the state service
division of the American Legion, pre-
pared this week, and covering the per-
iod since last March 1. shows that
, 1896 claims of all kinds have been
handled for veterans, the average cost
per claim has been $1.O4.
Total money value of the claims
prosecuted to successful conclusion
is $2,722,2 In the list of award
made by the government to veterans

| permanent disability to wounded and
disabled men.
The service division took up the
work of the former Veterans State
Welfare Commission which automatic
ally ceased to function on February
%, 1921, as provided by statute. Fred
K. Mast is in charge of the work as
state service officer.

Grams ready to start developing their
new homes at once. A part of the
acreage will be prepared for crops by
the state and approximately $4,000
will be spent OH each 20 acre tract for
the installation of an irrigation sys-
tenn, farm buildings, etc. Land will be
valued at about $500. Terms of sale
will be $500 cash, payable within Is

STATE INDUSTRIES PAYING.
Inmates Of State Institutions Arr
Given Helpful Employment.

Olympia plants install
ed at state institutions during the past
year will earn $15O,0OO during 1922,
predicts j. w. Pace, assistant director
of the department of business control
and supervisor of industrial manage
ment.
Orders already placed will net the
state $4,000 when delivered within
the next sixty days. BY that time it
is planned to supply the industrial
plants with new work.
The new stamp works for the peni-
tertiary that will make next years
automobile plates will be installed be-
fore spring. At this plant will be de-
signed not only to make automobile
plates, but also to supply road and
street signs or any similar work
needed by the state or cities, extreme
care is being exercised in obtaining
equipment. For the present, time is not
essential and this industry will be
firmly established when it is ready for
business.
Success by the knitting plant at the
nounced that it is likely that the
equipment will be increased. Work
offered the girls is of character that
will train them in useful trades and
manufacturers have offered to give
girls who graduate from the knitting
and garment making plants steady
employment when they leave the state
institution
Late last week, Charles Briffit, the
new superintendent of the State
Training School, was installed and
| when he has reorganized that institu-
tion it is likely that he will ask for
better opportunities to train the boys
in useful trades. Present facilities
permit in giving them machine shop,
tailoring, carpentry, farm manage
ment and some other training, as well
as general education.
Y
Inquiries received by Secretary of
State J. Grant Hinkle indicate there
will be big movement of new settlers
towards this state early in the year.
During December Mr.. Hinkle received
word that one new conner had been
satisfactorily settled in Washington;
IA others were on their way and two
others are preparing to come, all be-
ing persons of family. In addition 261
persons writing from points outside
| of Washington asked for information
about places where they hope to To-
| cate.
By making Fred j. Dibble, dire tor
of licenses, also director of fisheries
and game, Governor Hart has effected
another reduction in the number of
state offices authorized by the adj
administrative code. Earnest Seaborg,
who succeeded L. Fl. Darwin as super
visor of fisheries on January l, and
J. w. Kinney, supervisor of game, will
occupy the Seattle offices of the de-
partment, thus making room in the old
capital building for other offices.
Allotments will be made in the
White Bluffs Hanford district by Di-
rector Dan A. Scott, of the department
of conservation and development. on
March 10. The law requires allottees
to be on their land within six months
but as such delay would make it i'm.
possible to produce crops this year
the state may give preference to vet.
