D'BOW-M'NEILL
CASE IN DOUBT
One Department of Su-
preme Court Fails to
Reach Decision

Word was received Monday by
County Auditor E. o. Keene that the
department of the state supreme
court which heard the appeal of the
Commissioners McNeil-DeBow case
had been unable to agree and that the
case will be heard by the entire court
October %.
The final decision of the case rests
upon the construction of the state
statute which provides that an ap-
pointee shall hold office until the next
general election.
AT the time of the last general
election Mr.. McNeill was commission
er by appointment succeeding Commis-
sioner French who resigned, and
whose term would not have expired
until the general election in 1924. The
attorney general ruled that McNeill
was entitled to hold office until that
time. DeBow brought custer proceed
ings and in February, Superior Judge
Traux held that the "Next general
election" meant the next general elec-
tion in point of time regardless OF
when the term in question would nat
urally expire. He seated DeBow and
recommended that the case be taken
to the supreme court. McNeill ap-
pealed and the final issue of the case
is still in doubt.

GROWERS TELL
THEIR TROUBLES
Term price Guarantee"
Seems to Cause Much
misunderstanding

Not more than a, dozen farmers at
tended the meeting called Tuesday
afternoon by the Commercial club for
the purpose of hearing complaints on
methods of marketing this years
fruit crop.
Such complaints as were voiced
are apparently of common origin and
arise from the fact that the line OF
demarkation between the cash buyer
and the commission house has not been
very clearly defined. 1t seems that
the term guaranteed price" has been
pretty much abused and quite loosely
used. As result some growers are
finding it difficult to cash in on verb
al price promises.
The solution proposed at the meet
ing was >that, before delivering their
fruit, growers insist that the guar
antee of price be put in writing. To
assist the growers in this respect
it was suggested that the Commercial
club have prepared standard form
of selling contract, copy of which
will be kept on file in the club offices,
for the benefit of growers.
In addition to this it was proposed
that the club name committee to
make a census of local fruit concerns
and prepare and publish directory
showing which are cooperative, which
cash buyers, and which are commits
sion firms accepting fruit upon con-
signment only.

perience of the 3-Rivers Growers. He
cited instances to show that the fact
that the local association controlled
a large enough percentage of the ton
mage to ship in carlots to distant
markets had saved the price from
collapse this year. This was true for
both strawberries and asparagus. He
told the Hermiston farmers that if
their tonnage is small they can prob
ably be. taken in as members of the
local association. If the tonnage is
large they can have their own organi-
zatlon and the two associations can
use the same selling organization.
c. l.. Long, director of horticulture
OF the expansion department of the
Oregon Agricultural college spoke
on what to Grow" He declared the
time has passed when the U. S. de-
partment of agriculture should con-
fine its efforts to instructing farmers
how to grow bigger crops. The more
important questions today are crop
selection and marketing.

OREGON MEN GET
TOO MUCH MOON
Two Fellows from Bend Fight with
80 Knowles and Pay Fines in
Pl0wman's Court

r. II. Roupe and B. Stubblefield, of
Bend, Oregon, were yesterday hailed
before Justice Bert Plowman and fin
ed $25 and costs for being drunk and
disorderly.
The Oregon men were arrested fol-
lowing an alteration with C. S.
Knowles yesterday afternoon on the
Plymouth road. The men, who were
well moonshined, stopped Mr.. Knowles
and asked him to have drink. They
became insulting and fight ensued.
Knowles knocked one of the men down
only to be floored by his hurley COM
panion. Realizing his inability to
handle the two, Knowles came to the
home of H. j. Leibel where he tele-
phoned Policeman Reynolds, who ac-
companied by Deputy Sheriff MCGEE
went to the scene Of activities. In
the meantime Knowles halted his as
sailants by running his car across the
road in front of them. When the of
ficers arrived "a battle royal was in
progress and the Oregonians started
to clean up on Reynolds and McGee,
but were overpowered and brought
into town.
Knowles reports that the men had
two jugs and a bottle of moonshine
but no liquor could be found by the
officers. Knowles says that a third
man in a Dodge Roadster was appar-
emily companion of the two. Where
he went to nobody knows and the
booze probably went with him.

The twenty-fifth wedding annivers-
ary of Mr.. and Mrs. L. Smith and the

Steel Crossing of Union Pa
cific Open to Night Trains
This Week

The new steel bridge of the Union
Pacific system, across the Columbia
river four miles below this city, will
be initiated to train service Satur-
day evening Of this week when all
night O-W. r. & N. trains will be
routed between here and Wallula over

force of men are still employed re-
moving the old bridge and putting
the finishing touches to the new, there
will be no day train service before
November Is. The removal of the
old piers from the river bed will prob
ably not be completed before the first

delay in steel shipments the compile
tion of the bridge is fully two months

trounced Touchet Highs first string
19 to O in game here Friday. Ken

GRANGE SAFE
NEATLY BLOWN
Unknown Safe Cracksmen
Garry Away More than
Five Hundred Dollars

No trace has yet been found OF
the burglars who blew the safe i'll
the Grange Warehouse last Thurs
day night. Altho police authorities
thruout the state have been notified
and similar jobs have been turned
recently in other parts Of the Yakima
Valley no clue as to the possible
identity of the cracksmen has been
established.
There is little doubt but that those
responsible for the Grange Ware
huse delivery were experts at the
job of getting on the inside of
other peoples safes. Entrance to the
store was effected by jimmying a
rear window, which is concealed from
the street view.
The combination knob on the safe
door was knocked off and a charge
of nitro-glycerine inserted. A win
dow just above the safe, filing cab
met within few feet of it, were not
so much as scratched, but the safe
door was neatly blown off.
The job Wa we'll timed and the
charge was probably set off when
there was train on the N. P. tracks
at the passenger depot few rods
away, and when the night police was
off that beat. There is nothing to
indicate at what time of night the
job was turned.
Manager C. C. Day reports that
$239 in cash and unlisted checks and
1910 in checks upon which payments
has been stopped were taken from
the safe. To assist the authorities
in running down the robbers and to
forestall payment of the unlisted
checks he requests that all who gave
checks to the Warehouse Thursday,
report to him without delay, giving
the amount of the check, the bank
upon which drawn and the signature.

been made for forty tables. Only
fifteen were played. In their usual
capable manner the girls had arrang-

DISTRICT HAS
CLEAN RECORD
State Examiner Finds Rec
ords in Columbia Office
in Good Shape

The Columbia Irrigation District
office has received copy of the re-
port of M. F. Edwards, state exam
ier, of the department of taxation
and examination. Mr.. Edwards made
the usual check-up Of the books and
records of the district last summer.
This report is a detailed and volum-
inous document, Is typewriter pages
of figures and tabulations, auditing
the business of the district down to
January 1st, 1922. Space will not per-
NIT publication Of all this data, but
the only test in the report is the "Re-
marks" on page 3, as follows:
"The Columbia Irrigation district
comprises about l0,994 acres, located
along the Columbia river in long
narrow, contiguous strip. Of that ac-
reage, SS1 acres have reverted to the
district.
"The 1922 roll carried an assess
ment of $31 ,695.76 for maintenance;
S37 7,232.17 for bond interest; S716.83
for L. /. d. interest and $3,734.59
for retirement Of L. /. ID. bonds.
1--WE called at the district office
in Kennewick and found a very well
conducted office, with the books and
records up to date.
"The secretary's revolving fund was
carefully audited and verified. Claims
were examined and found to have
been made in proper form and war
rants issued for legal purposes"
This department is so exacting and
critical that we feel pleased to have
passed their examination without any
criticism. The report is on file in the
District office where the board would
be glad to have it inspected by any
one interested.
The recent rains have developed
an uncertain water situation. The
water was out of the canal, and it
seemed unnecessary to turn it back
at once. 1t will be quite saving to
the District if it is not necessary to
put it back this fall. Still, it is the
business of the District to deliver
water, and it will be put back next
week should any large number of
our users need it. So if you have
any real need for water, call the man
ager and tell him about it.
