CHRISTMAS RADIO CONCERT

An aerial 70 feet high has
been erected this week at Grange
hall to take advantage of the
generous offer of Il. II. Woods
made in last weeks Spokesman
to donate the use of his receiving
set for the purpose of providing
a radio concert for the White
Bluffs folks on Christmas Eve.
1t is believed the height OF the
aerial will eliminate all possible
power line interference. Mr..
Woods expects to install his set
at the hall a day or two in adj
vance and get everything adjust
ed for the concert. A great
many people in White Bluffs
have never heard n radio set in
operation and the Christmas en-
tertainment will furnish them an
opportunity of becoming ac-
quainted with this wonderful in
vention that will probably have
as revolutionary effect on Amer
ican life as the telephone or

LAND FOR 100 Unit
PROJECT is SECURED

When Fred NJ. We'll telegraph
ed in from Idaho last Saturday
evening that he had secured the
Holt land, the state Of Wash
ington had secured sufficient
acreage to bring the state land
settlement in this valley up 10
q 100 unit project In fact the
state holds title to- enough land
now to make 1903 twenty acre
tracts. There were, 55 tracts or
HOO acres in the first unit and
4S tracts or 960 acres in this
last unit. Using Legion hall as
a dividing line, approximately
two-thirds of the tracts in the
first unit were in, the vicinity
of Hanford and one-tllird in the
White Bluffs territory. OF the
48 tracts in this last unit, three
are near Hanford,3 and as are
west and north of White Bluffs.
II there is any difference the
quality of the land this last unit
is a little better as a whole
than the original project for it
is without doubt the very choi-
cest land in the valley. Approx
imately 40 tracts of the last
unit lie just north and east Of
the Wing Kelly Morford- Moede
tracts.
In acquiring the land for the
last unit as cheaply as he did,
a lot of credit is due D. S. Wilk
inson who had charge of the
buying of the land for the state.
Project Manager j. 9. Scott
has number Of well digging
crews lined up and wells Will
be sunk as fast as the abstracts
to the newly acquired land are
passed by the attorney general.
AS much of this work as possible
will be given to local people,
preference being given to the
soldier settlers.
While the state has made no
announcement it is expected that
colonization work for the last
unit will be started shortly after
the first Of the year.

REARGUMENT ORDERED
IN WATER RIGHT Case

Attorney j. C. Lloyd received a
communication today from Carroll
b. Graves of Seattle, who repre-
sents appellants in the case Of the
Black Rock Power and Irrigation
c ompany against the Hanford wa
ter right owners to quiet title. that
is up on appeal to the Circuit
Court Of Appeals, giving the pres
ent status of the case.
The case was tried before Judge
Rudkin in the Federal court. At
ter he had rendered his decision in
favor of the Power company, Judge
Rudkin was elevated to the Circuit
| Court of Appeals, and because he
was the trial judge in this case he
was disquali fled to sit with the 9TH
er judges in deciding the appeal,
leaving only Judges Hunt and Bor-
quier to determine the points at
issue. The appeal was argued be-
fore these judges last September.
In his letter to Judge Lloyd, Mr..
Graves says he is just in receipt of
notice from the clerk Of the Cir
cult Court of Appeals, which reads
as follows:
can order has this day been
signed by Circuit Judge Hunt and
filed, assigning the above entitled
cause for re-argument on March IL,
1924, at San Francisco"
On the face of this order it would
appear that either the two judges
are not in agreement as to the
judgment to be rendered. or that
they are jointly undecided as to
some point. and have ordered re-
argument, probably with other
members of the court sitting with
them.
Attorney Lloyd has referred
the communication from Mr..
Graves 10 the committee that has
the water right owners case in
| charge.

ANOTHER ARTEs1AN WELL

The artesian flow was struck
in what is known as the Roth
rock we'll in the Cold Creek
territory last Sunday. Because
this we'll is much deeper than
the other wells at Cold Creek
some anxiety has been felt about
striking artesian water. The
heavy flow was struck at 1856
feet. The average depth of the
other three wells there is around
600 feet. The water in the new
well is coming through ~ inch
casing. There is so pounds pres
sure and while the flow has not
been measured it is estimated to
be between 800 and 1000 gal
Ions per minute. The RothrOck

We all started the first of the New
Year with vim, but just before the
first period on Tuesday everyone
without their vaccination slips were
sent home so our class was very
small.
Lloyd Harrison is absent from

bone, which he sustained in an auto

Regina Miller is new member of
the FRESHMAN class. Mr.. Miller, her
father, is the new county treasurer.
They moved here from Sedgwick.
The Freshman General Science
pupils will start with their topics
soon. We think the topics will be
very interesting.
Several of the Freshmen were alb
sent Tuesday morning because they
were without certificatet of vaccina-
ton. The doctors being out in the
country on sick calls kept many away
the entire day.
The basket ball team will play at
Holyoke Friday evening, January 9TH.
This is their first conference game.

the little bleeding country that Con-
gress incorporated the Near East Re
lief.
Over $4,000, 100000 has been pour
ed by America into rescue work in the
Near East. First, food and clothing
were sent to ward off death from the
refugee population. Then, an effort
was made to rehabilitate the people
by furnishing seed and getting local
governments to grant land for the
growing of food. Last, the task was
undertaken to restore 100000 children
to health and happiness, by training
and equipping them to be se(f-sup-
porting, and preparing them for the
task of restoring their broken coun-
try.
This colossal job has been carried
forward with success and economy.
iZation are more than ordinarily low.
For last year, the report to Congress
shows, that only three cents out of
every dollar raised for relief was
needed for overhead expense. Many
men of wealth have contributed mon-
ey solely for expenses, thus leaving
W per cent OF the money tor actual
aid of the Near East.
Five dollars in American money
will feed, clothe, give medical atten-
ton and school an orphan in the Near
East for a whole month. Sixty dol
lars will provide these necessities for
a whole year.
Those who have tramped the fields
of wars devastation, those who have
heard the horrible cry of winters
blizzard around the hearth unwarmed
by fire, those who have felt the
gnawing pains of hunger, or the
staggering urge to keep treking
though weary and sick, those can un-
derstand something of humanity's
cry for help in the Near East. All
must know and understand and give
today.

nature, owing to the fact that the
car turned turtle a number of times,
after striking a rut in the road.
