WARM WEATHER STAGES
A REAL COME BACK

A chinook wind that got into &C.
tion in good shape last Saturday
afternoon and that has continued
internationally ever since. has taken
away all of the snow in the valley.
In fact, there was only white
spot left here and there the day af-
ter Christmas. The weather has
been mild and pleasant all week
and there is not particle of frost
In the ground. Ranchers, partic.
ularly the newcomers, are taking
advantage Of the situation to finish
up fall work that was stopped by
the cold snap or to start work that
is ordinarily done later in the
spring. The roads are in splendid
condition and there is considerable
travel for this time of the year.
Maybe the Indians were right,
after all, about the open winter.

". W. BARRETT

Robert Barrett returned Thurs
day from Portland, where he went
to attend the funeral of his father,
W. w. Barrett. The deceased was
one Of the early pioneers of White
Bluffs, having come here in 1904
when he purchased what is known
as Barrett's island, in the Column
bia river a short distance above the
White Bluffs ferry landing, where
he has made his home intermittent
ly ever since. Mr. Barrett was a
railroad engineer by profession and
spent most of his life in that work.
He had been in ill health since
1918 and had visited various places
seeking medical treatment. He
passed away last Sunday and was
buried Tuesday at Portland. Mrs.
Barrett and daughter Nema, who
have been with him the past few
months in Portland, will return to

VISITS HIS FAMILY
after LONG ABSENCE

A. G.. Wade this week received
the following interesting communi-
cation. dated December 2lst, from
Scranton. Pennsylvania:
MY Dear Mr.. Wade: Just a
line to let you know that my IA
ther arrived in Scranton safely af-
ter his five-day trip. He has been
telling us how good you have treat
ed him and want you to let me
thank you for your kindness. He
is feeling fine and was very much
surprised at all the changes he
found in Scranton.
"You would not believe him, he
said. when he told you he was mar
ried and has a wife and two daugh-
tiers and son. He said he wished
YOU were here to see for yourself.
My father has been away from
home for the last "a years. so you
can imagine how surprised we were
to see him. | am his youngest
daughter and as l was only four
years old when he went away, he
was surprised to find me married.
/ have been married just one month
today and he cannot seem to believe
1t is true.
"Mr. Wade, my father wants you
to answer this letter and let him
know how things are out there and
he wants you to let him know
whether Swanson started to fix the
shack yet. He has been telling US
about his victrola and all the rec
ords and I hope he gets along there
as 1t seems so strange for me to
have father, as we thought he
surely must be dead when we did
not hear anything from him for
So long.
"Mr. Wade. when he comes back
there I wish you would be kind
enough to drop us line for him
once in while. would surely
appreciate it very much. Wishing
yourself and family a Merry
Christmas and a Happy New Year,
I remain. Mike Roche's daughter
Mary"
Although q resident of White
Bluffs for the last IL or Is years,
it is doubtful if, outside of posi-
bly, a few of his old cronies, any
one here ever suspected that
"Mickie" had a wife and family.

PROSPECT BRIGHT FOR
ENLARGEMENT OF PROJECT

Fred M. We'll. who is devoting
nearly all of his time now to work
in connection with the extension of
the soldier settlement to a 100 unit
pr oject, arrived home last Sunday
evening from the Coast to spend
Christmas with his family. Mr..
We'll says he is meeting with spien-
did success in the settlement extern
sion work and feels confident that
the enlargement Of the project can
be brought about II be can stay on
the job few weeks more.
On Wednesday. Mr.. We'll. j. c..
Lloyd, W. J. Kincaid, D. S. Will
kinson, 4 i. O'Larey, Charles M.
Sanford, Jay Smith. no. H. Solli-
bake. Virgil Kern. Roy G. Robin
son and Ford Johnson drove over
to Yakima to look after matters in
connection with the project exten.
sion work. Mr.isWeil went on
from Yakima to the Coast, where
he expects tozbe a pretty busy man
for the next few weeks.
I The additional acreage necessary
for the enlargement of the project
that the committee proposes to Sc
cure, lies in the vicinity Of Vernita
and is now owned by the state uni
versity. The university owns 1900
acres IN that neighborhood. The
property is under control OF the
board of regents consisting of sew
EN- members living in different
parts of the state. The university
will he asked to sell $40 acres. or
AZ 20-acre tracts to the state for
the minimum price Of $40 per acre,
for the settlement work, and the
committee proposes to show the re :
gents that in addition to providing
farms for ex service men, it will
be a good business move for the
university to make such sale. on
the ground that the balance of tho
1900 acres still retained will be
more valuable and more salable
with AZ twenty-acre improved
farms settled by lex-service men,
than is the entire 1900 acres now.
The university acquired its land
in this county as we'll as thousands
of acres in other counties in the
the state, by grant good many
years ago; and with the exception
of d few sales here and there, and
few dollars that came to it
through rentals on leased land in
isolated places. its farm land has
been}a dead horse on its hands. In
the past there was a tendency on
the part of the regents to hold this
land for exorbitant prices, higher
than lands of like character in
the same neighborhood, justifying
such action on the ground that as
the money was to 90 for education
al purposes, every dollar possible
should he realized for the sale of
the land. This was a laudable po-
sition for the regents to take, but
as men of means who were willing
! to pay these high prices have sell
dom appeared, there has been of
late u growing feeling that if the
university ever expects to realize
anything for it's farm lands, it will
have to promote its own interests
and lend its aid to land settlement
projects such as the one that is
now being carried out by the state
