TWO SWIM COLUMBIA

Before large crowd Of hathers
near the ferry landing last Sunday,
Donald McCready swan the Col
umbia, starting at what is known
as the "Point" north of the Wiehl
place, and on Tuesday Rose Wheel
er performed the same feat In
both instances boats followed the
swimmers but rendered no assist
ance and we're really unnecessary.
The distance is not so great, but
because of the swift current in the
middle Of the river. the many ed
dies and the fact that the Columbia
is much colder than the ordinary
bodies of water, the feat Of these
young people was unusual.

GROWER RAISES
fine BROOM corn

Three stalks of broom corn stand
ing in front of the Valley Grocery
the last few days have been at
tracing considerable attention.
The stalks stand nearly nine feet
tall and were raised on raw land
by j. G. Tussey, who came to the
valley about year ago from En-
tiat, above Wenatchee. and pur.-
chased a tract Of land near the
Hicks place northw est of Hanford
A representative of the broom fac
tory in Spokane was in town Thurs
day and was much impressed by
the fine quality of the broom straw
He said it was as good as he had
ever seen and that his factory
would be glad to purchase all they
could get of it. At present their
raw material comes from Nebraska
and other middle western states.
Mr.. Tussey says he will have a
sample of his corn on display at the
White Bluffs Fair and that he in
tends to plant much larger acre
age next year.
There are said to be about 80
acres planted to broom corn across
the Columbia from Hanfcrd.

SCOTT TURNS DOWN
UNIVERSITY Land

J. C Scott, project manager.
returned Wednes day from Olympia,
where on Monday he attended the
conference in the state reclam alton
office to consider the advisability of
the stare accepting sufficient
amount of the university lands in
the vicinity of Verr Ia to increase
the state land settlement project
in this valley to 100 tracts.
Only two of the important points
in connection with acceptance of
this land. Mr.. Scott ssid, were
considered, First, the feasibility
of the project, both from an engi-
neering and an economical stand
point; and second whe ther 1t would
be advisable for the state to go
into the business of furnishing wa
ter for irrigation, even if it could
legally do so. The report of the
state engineers showed the average
lift from wells on this land to he
in the neighborhood of 70 feet. At
the present price of electricity. ev
cry one agreed that the cost would
probably be prohibitive. That left
the proposition of central pump
ing plant, located probably on the
banks of the river, as the only al
tentative.
AS the state retains an interest
in the land until it is fully paid for
by the soldier settler at the end Of
the 20 year period, Director ID. A.
Scott said he felt that the state
would be saddled with the RESPONSE
bility of operating the pumping
plant, which he did not believe was
a desirable obligation even if it
could legally be done, as prece-
dent would he established 'that
might later get the state into all
kinds of difficulties Without al.
lowing anything for depreciation,
the state engineers report shows
that there would be an annual
maintenance charge of $l7.75 per
acre from the central plant and
even larger maintenance for in
dividual pumping plants. Because
of this high maintenance charge
and his objections to the state as
suming the responsibility of oper-
ating the central pumping plant,
Director Scott rejected the univer-
sity lands, and unless plan can he
evolved that will provide cheaper
maintenance and relieve the state
of operating the pumping plant,
there would appear to ba little
hope that lands in the vicinity of
Vernita can be used for land settle
ment purposes.
The American Legion was repre-
sented at the conference by Fied

Have Already Recognized the Repub-

By PAUL HANNA
Federated Press Correspondent

Federated Press Correspondent
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. business
men have already recognized Mexico
and the administration Of President
Oregon. We are now waiting for the
state department to do the same"
That statement is made by DR..
Charles J. Owens, chairman of the
American trade commission which
has completed long and comprehen-
sive tour of inspection through the in
dustrial regions Of Mexico.
A report covering conditions in the
neighbor republic, as discovered and
approved by the business commission,
will be laid before congress here by
Owens. This report will contain a
direct and emphatic demand that the
state department abandon its secret
and discredited hostility to Mexico and
proceed to establish normal friendly
relations with the Oregon admins
tration.
Secret reports, hostile to Mexico,
such as those accumulated by instruct
ed agents of Secretaries Hoover and
Hughes, will be directly contradicted
by the evidence to be laid before con-
gress by the trade commission.
This report will show that all ru-
mors Of destructive "bolshevism" in
Mexico are the fabrication of special
interests in conflict with the demo
cratic Mexican constitution and seek
ing to promote counter-revolution in
Mexico, encouraged by the withholding
OF American recognition.
Owen speaks for those non-imperial-
istic American business concerns who
are engaged chiefly in an exchange of
necessary commodities between this
country and Mexico. With Europe
unable or refusing to buy in our
markets, these business men are glad
to turn toward Mexico and are able
to testify to Mexico's ability and de-
sire to buy our products and pay for
them.
