THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

Spring may bring you vistas Of
daffodiis and vioIets. purling streams
and wide flung meadows. To me it
recalls vision of drummers tilted
back in chairs against the front wall
of small town hotel -s --,-.
What pictures of wealth, content
ment and ease the travelling men
represented as they sat there in the
, sun, eyeing the village damsels trip
pins down to Bud Miller's grocery
store.
To our rustic eyes the overdressed
j. Russell Smith Star" man for the
Primitive knitting Co. was a dr. cam
of loyeliness. His checked suit was
fresh from the city. His fedora had
exactly the proper scientific crease.
As for his mauve socks which in
cased his plump. well fed ankles,
they were the very last word, having
been knitted fresh in the factories
of the Primitive knitting Co. itself
j. Russell thus acted as sort of
combination drummer and model
selling his goods when he was on
his feet and displaying them when
he occupied the, cane bottom of one
of the chairs in front of the Craw-
ford House.
This kingp pin salesman had rubi-
cund countenance and mean little pig
eyes. To the uninitiated the former
spelled health, but to the medical
man certain tendency to high blood
pressure
As for his too-small eyes. the styI
ish fedora counteracted them. casting
deep shadows over the ocular por-
ton OF his map. so that his eyes
commonly. looked big enough for the
rest of his face
1t must not be ina gined that Smith
sat in solitary state In front of the
hotel. There were other chairs there
and drummer occupied each one
X X ~
Once in "coons age" boy would
hnd one of the chairs unoccupfed
His time had come!
The daring lad would slide into the
comfortable seat, tilt the chair back
against the wall and attempt TO look
out upon the, world with the typical
lndinerenee of the swell drummers
The fact that his feet swung far
from the ground, and that he was
acutely conscious OF his poor clothes
In comparison with the travelling
mans superb equipment made his indif-
ference rather an inferior article.
He was interested. and he could not
hide 1t. To that boy-snd all BOYS
IKE nlm-the world in Spriugtime
was wonderful place AS matter
OF fact. 1t is7soniy in proportion TO
his retention OF the boyhood outlook

term in a mathematical calendar
They are lost souls.
They have lost the sense of re-
birth. They have sold their child
hood soul for a mess of pottage
which will be eternaily bitter to
their taste
They have given up many senses
for one sense. They have been un-
true to themselves and must pay the
penalty in not being able TO see the
visible or hear sounds hearable.

NIusic-now classified as trade-is
picking up, in comparison with other
trades BY an agreement signed with
the musicians union the Chicago Civic
Opera Co. will pay its orchestra players
a minimum OF s11s a week. and enough
more fon rehearsais also to bring the
average weekly wage up to $155. This
is larger than the pay Of bricklayers,
plumbers, carpenters. painters and other
Industrial aristocrats. 1t means about
$4,000 for an opera season OF weeks,
leaving the musicians free to earn a
couple of thousand from other 5ources

with average incomes in the learned
professions

CONNELL WINS GAME
BY 2 TO 1 SCORE

The White Bluffs ball club lost to
Ccnlell last Sunday by score of 2
to l. But more serious to the club
than the loss of the game was the
loss of their second bassman. Verne
Zerwekh, whose first finger on his
right hand was broken and he will
probably be out of the game for the
rest OF the season. Verne was the
first batter up for White Bluffs in
the first inning and in trying to
dodge fast inshoot the bail struck
his finger, making clean break
about midway between the knuckle
and the first joint. Verne has been
putting up a good game for the club
and his place at second will be hard
to fill.
Harry Coleman came in from the
outfeld to play second Sunday but
as the position was new to him, the
defense of the club was weakened.
Cornell had new pitcher Sunday
and he held the White Bluffs team
to one kit, a good drive by Nor
ford that scored Charles English who
had got on through walk. This run
was mad, in the third inning. Con-
nell tied the score in the fifth and
scored the winning run in the eighth.
Swanson pitched his usual game,
holding the opposition to five scat
tered hi S, both of Connell's scores
being due indirectly to errors.
Two or three new players have
beeen uncovered here and one and
POS ible two of them will be in the
infield lineup next Sunday.
Keanewick beat Hanford, II to 7
in contest that went IL innings
and Pasco won over Richland in a
10 inning game by score of 3 to 2.
Next Sunday White Bluffs plays at
home against Hanford. These two
teams are tied for fifth and sixth
place and good contest is looked
for.

+ C. Syfford of Hanford, one of the
first to purchase land on the Hanford
project and who has been resident
Ct the valley ever since, except the
few years he lived in Prosser while
serving as County Auditor, has hand
ed to the Spokesman the following
interesting article for publications.
giving his views on the situation.
Complying with the request of nu-
nerous water users am making
this statement of my views regarding
the present water situation. lay no
claim to superior wisdom and the
only reason my views might add, pos
sibly, a little light on the matter is
because CT the fact that I have had
exceptional opportunities to view the
operation of the other irrigation pro-
jects in the county.
The Webster Decree provides that
water shall be furnished the water
right owner according to his contract
by means of the present instrument
talit.es of irrigation and that he shall
pay therefor maintenance fee of
actual cost. Unfortunately the Decree
does not define or limit maintenance
cost or provide any means of fixing
the cost other than by the action of
the Company in its capacity of
Trustee.
In my opinion there are only three
COURSES of acton open to the water
right holder:
1. Abide by the Decree as it stands
relying on the Company to deliver
sufficient water at reasonable main
terance cost.
2. Bring an action before Judge
Webster to determine what shall con-
sti.ute reasonable maintenance cost
and to determine finally whether --or
not the Company can be compelled to
inches of water.
3. Form an improvement district,
comprising the water right land to
take over the ditch and pumping
plant.
The first of these possible courses
of action requires no discussion. By
following it the water right holder
merely throws up his hands and ac-
cepts whatever the Company cares to
give him both as to amount of water
and amount of maintenance cost.
The second course of action should
be pursued by the water right holder
if he wishes the Company to manage
the irrigation system. If that is his
desire then for his own protection he
should have the Court define and limit
the maintenance cost and determine
whether or not he is entitled to more
than thirty-two acre inches of water
Mr.. Sanford has given the figures
showing the cost of operation by the
Company over a period of years.
These figures are:
Cost of operating Pumping
Plant per year .................-...$ s.. 500
Cost of operating Power
Plant per year ................,.... 5000
Cost of operating Ditch
These figures would be somewhat
more enlightening if they showed the
various items of expense that make
up the totals.
The item of $4,000 for the opera
ton of the Pumping Plant, in my
opinion, is reasonable. The item of
$4,000 for the operation of the Power
Plant is not. The two plants are COM
Elements of each other, each en-
p.oying the same number of men at
about the same wages, and the cost of
operation should be about the same
for each. Furthermore only about Is
per cent of the yearly output Of power
at the power plant is required to run
the pumping plant for the ditch and
