TEN MORE SETTLERS
IN LAST THIRTY DAYS

There is at the present time grow
ing feeling that the slump in the
farming business in general has hit
the bottom of the cycle and the trend
is now upward. Real estate men in
the state say they have noted an in
creasing interest lately in farm land
and are anticipating good turnover
in that branch of their business next
year. But whatever the cause there
is more interest being shown in the
state land settlement project in this
valley than for a number of months
back. Hardly day goes by without
one or more visitors from different
parts of the state driving in to look
over the project. And during the past
month 10 of these visitors have select
ed tracts and made their first pay
ment. They are: Harry H. Wootan,
Raymond, Wash, single, tract No.
1O1; Cecil M. Haskell, Doty, Wash,
married, tract No. 50; William Boil
man, Walla Walla, married, Tract No.
106; Anil Bollman, Fasco, married,
tract No. 1O7; Osruo King, Everett,
tract No. 60; Adolph E. Lemka, Puy-
allup, single, tract No. go; Paul M.
Leslie, Everett, married, tract No. SO;
Bert P. Lindell. Chelan. single, tract
No. 1O2; John E. Lindell, Tekoa,
single, tract No. 1o3, and ]. E. Lin
der, Weratchey, married tract No.
los. All of these tracts lie north and
west of White Bluffs. There are still
SO tracts yet to be taken in the pro-
ject, in the first unit and 30 in the
last unit.
Upon the advice of Project Mana
ger ]. c. Scott, the state about
month ago added another improve
ment to the land before turning it
over to the settler-the clearing and
leveling of the land. Very few of the
settlers have had any experience in
leveling and almost all of them have
lad more or less trouble in getting
their places under cultivation because
of the lack of this experience. L. T..
Brooks, who has had considerable
experience and been quite successful
in this work, was given the contract
by the state. At the outset it was in
tended to clear and level the tracts
that were still untaken but so many
requests came from the settlers on
the tracts, that the whole crew has
been kept busy to date on the tracts
already taken. AS soon as land is
cleared and leveled it will be seeded
to rye this fall. This will hold the
the ground from blowing and permit
the settlers to get their whole 20
acres in cultivation this wear.

CAN WE LEARNp

If we as a people can learn from
experience without having TO be hit
on the head with a panic and hard
times, the recent slight depression in
this country should have taught its
lesson.
When industry slowed up, jobs be-
came scarcer-just enough scarcer so
that no one was really hurt but
enough to make sensible man think
and realize that any movement or any
agitation which interferes with nor
NAL industrial activity strikes first and
hardest at the working man.
AS farm prosperity returns more
men have jobs not only on the farms
but in all lines of industry.
A man who works in sawmill or
mine should realize that his job de-
pends on prosperity in other lines of
business which use the product he
produces.
The breakman or engineer on a
freight train should realize that his
job depends on "the other fellow"
who makes an article for transporta-
ton.
If we pull together as nation
success awaits us. If we fight among
ourselves we court hard times and
failure.
The work of the Dawes committee
of exports in formulating a business
like program for settlement of the AL
lied Reparations tangle, further en-
phasizes the value of teamwork along
constructive lines.
This committee figured out such a
practical plan that it was adopted on
account of its sanity and simplicity.
After five years of European intrigue
and jealousy, plain everyday business
sense and honesty had to win out over
political ineffciency.
The people of Europe have suffered
five long years to learn their lesson
namely-that one nation cannot pro-
fit at the expense of another.
Thus do we see intelligence finally
conquering ignorance. How long in
dividuals or nations suffer during the
process CT education" depends upon
their ability to learn from observa-
tion and escape the severe lessons
which experience gives to those who
refuse to learn otherwise
The American people have only a
bright future before them if they
stand for the square deal policy which
will assure continued agricultural and
industrial activity.

INTERESTING ADDRESS

On Tuesday afternoon September
23rd, Mrs. ]. L. Huges of Yakima
who is National Republican Commit
tee woman for this state spoke to an
interested crowd of women at Liber-
ty Hall in White Bluffs. For more
than an hour Mrs. Hughes held her
audiences closest attention as she
outlined the conditions that have led
up to the growth and stability of the
Republican party.
Mrs. Hughes distributed much OF
the Republican literature which out
lines the party's platform.
She left on the evening train for

CROWD ERJoYs FESTIVAL

Every one who accompanied the
band to Yakima last Saturday says
the Harvest Home Festival drew a
tremendous crowd that day and that
the program of the Festival commit
tee was all that it was advertised. R.
D. Barge captured blue ribbon on
his Gibraltor onions and while the
White Bluffs display did not win any
prizes it and the Hanford display
attracted good deal of attention and
excited much favorable comment, es-
pecia1ly the grapes.
The band carried out its program
of playing on the streets and in the
evening at the dance. The music was
well received by the holiday crowd
and the boys all enjoyed the trip.

The county commissioners were
successful in their fight before the
state board of equalization during the
last week in August, in having the
valuations fixed by the county assess
or sustained. The state board fixed
the ratio in Benton County at AZ. Last
year it was SO. In dollars and cents
this means a saving of approximately
$4,000 to the land owners in the
county. This saving will show up in
next years tax statements.

REDS IN GOOD
SHAPE BUT THEY
NEED PITCHERS
McGraw Strengthens His
Pitching Staff, Cubs
Doubtful

NEW YORK, Feb. 6-Pat Nor
an doesn It like the talk going round
that his Cincinnati Reds are just as
good as in with the 1924 National
League pennant.
The genial ieaGer of the 1919
champions isn't Gil Dobie by any
means, but he perhaps fears that
some nasty cracks may be made
next fall if he fails to get into the
world 8 series.
Moran admits that he has a better
team than he finished in second
place with last year and perhaps
he would be willing to grant that
the Giants are not as strong, but he
is smart enough to realize that even
n powerful team must get some of
the breaks.
Bad luck that resulted from i'll
ness and in jrr;es fot the Reds awa'1
to very poor start last season
and it was only by mid d-seasoa
drive that they were able to land i'll
second place.
The Reds look mighty good now,
but Moran is right in maintaining
that it isn't cinch for them by
any means and that he is gambling
cn pitchers.
If Carl Mays has a good season
and if Jake May and Tom Sheohan
90 as good for him as they went in
the minor leagues, it is quite pos
sible that the Reds could lead from
start to finish.
McG+raw Strengthens Giants
The regular run of fans, knowing
how skilled Moran is in handling
and developing pitchers, feel that
his three pitching CANDLES will go
through for him.
John McGraw has also strengthen
ed the Giant pitching staff by the
recruiting of three minor league
pitchers. The Giants had enough
minor league pitching last season.
What they need is some ma jor lea
que hurting.
The Reds are taking a chance
on Jake Daubert at first base, but
the Giants are also gambling on
Heinie Gron at third base and the
Giants also are experimenting with
youngster at shortstop while the
Reds have one Of the best in the
business.
The pittsburgh Pirates cant get
any place without better pitching
and that department hasn't been
strengthened. The Cubs arc Il
doubtful factor in the race. 1t
seems strange that with all the
Wrigley millions behind him, Bill
Killifer hasn't stepped out and
bought himself some ball players.
The biggest question, thinking it
all over, however, is: Where would
he get the players if he wanted to
buy them?
