CONFER WITH ATTORNEY
IN WATER RIGHT CASE

F j. Bonn. Robert Nichols
Alex McConnachie and E. ]. Ola
rey. members Of the committee
representing the Hanford water
right owners. drove over to Seattle
Monday in Mr.. Bonn's car for a
conference with Attorney Carroll
B. Graves on Tuesday. Jay Smith,
chairman Of the committee. went
over on the train for the confer.
ence, which was also attended by
W. d. Mackay of the Bleakley
Fruit company, Mark Whelan and
John Peterson, water right owners
who were in Seattle.
Mr.. Graves has now studied out
the legal phases of the case, but he
wanted to get from the committee
the physical condition of the irriga-
tion system so that he would be
properly equipped to discuss per-
manent settlement with the Black
Rock Power & Irrigation company
officials.
No proposition for settlement
has been made, so far, by either
party. but it is expected that one
will be made some time this sum.
mer.
Attorneys for the Black Rock
company have filed a petition with
the Circuit Court of Appeals asking
fer a re-hearing of the case decided
by that court in April. By stipu-
lation of attorneys on both sides.
the hearing of this petition has
been postponed to July 1st and in
the light of a possible settlement it
is likely it will be postponed again
to August, and possibly September.
Judge Graves was particularly
interested in learning from the
committee the amount of water re-
quired per acre for the growing of
crops under the ditch, and what
would have to be done to put the
canal and distributing system in an
efficient and permanent condition,
so that it might be economically
operated.
AS any settlement offered by the
company will have to be sanctioned
by it's New York Office. it is not
expected that the water right owr.
ers will have any proposition to
consider before the latter part Of
Ju1v or AuOust

COMMISSION WILL NOT
OPERATE THIS SEASON

The Northwest Fruit Growers
Commission convened in Chehalis yes
terday and presented its report to
President N. B. Coffman, of Washing
ton State Chamber of Commerce. A
complete review of the work of the
Commission was made together with
copy of its plan Of organization,
among growers of the Northwest.
Those present were: F. H. Moses,
Cashmere, Washington, E. M. Gillette,
Malaga, Washington, ]. R. Schwartze,
Yakima, Washington, and c. King
Benton, Hood River, Oregon. Mem
bers of the Commission, Major D. O..
Lively, Washington State Chamber of
Commerce, and Isaac d. Hunt, Port
land, Oregon, attended the meeting.
Unprecedented reduction in prospec-
tive crops due to frost injury was
given as the reason for the plan of
the organization not being put into
operation during the current season.
The necessity of fuller cooperation
among cooperatives" was also empha-
sized.
The Commission did not recognize
that the marketing problems Of the
Northwestern fruit growers have been
in any way changed, and held that
the necessity for organization of in
dependent as well as organized grow
ers is as great as when the Commits
sion was appointed.
The future welfare of the industry
makes as mighty demand upon the
Growers Commission as when Wash
ington State Chamber of Commerce
took its timely action.
The Commission strongly re- ON
M n d e d that Washington State
Chamber of Commerce take the nee
essary steps to keep fruit growers
commission in existence and function
ing, making such changes in the plan
of organization as may seem wise
and prudent.
The Treasurer's report showed that
only a little over one half of the $15,-
900 budget had been spent up to date.
The services of Edwin Smith as Ex-
ecutive Secretary were suspended in
order that funds might be conserved
to carry on organization work in the
future.
