CHECKING LAND TRANSFERS

County Assessor Harry Forsythe
and his deputy, Ben Rupert, were in
White Bluffs Tuesday gathering data
to- be used at the meeting of the state
equalization board at Olympia next
month. The railroads expect to make
hard fight this year, as they have
for the past few years, to show to the
equalization board that the assessed
valuation is placed at higher figure
on their property, than it is on real
estate and other property. They search
the records of the different counties
for instruments Of transfer of rea
estate where the conside. hilton named
is unusually high ito substantiate their
claims. In most cases where an I'm.
usually high consideration is named
in the deeds or other instruments OF
transfer, the transaction is trade and
does not really represent the tine
valuation of the property. Mr.. For
sythe and Mr.. Rupert are tracing down
all of such transfers in the county to
get the facts so that they will be pre-
paredAwith defense in the event any
of the cases are cited by the railroads

CLUB LOSES TOUGH One
TO PAScO 10 TO 6

While the Pasco ball club got the
decision over White Bluffs at Pasco
last Sunday by score of 10 to s, the
game was closer and much more in
teresting than the score would indi-
cate. Pasco scored its first run in the
first inning. White Bluffs counted
twice in the second and held the lead
until the seventh when Pasco tied the
score at s all. Pasco won the game in
the last Of the eight when they scored
four on one hit, lusty two-bagger, a
walk and three crrcrs. White Bluffs
was unable to score on its last turn at
bat The win for Pasco held them to
tie with Kennewick for first place.
For the first time this season the
Pasco club had its full strength in
the field and put up hard fight all
of the way. Schumacher for White
Bluffs outpitcled Wirth of Pasco,
yielding only hits while the White
Bluffs club gathered 10 hits off of
Wirth. White Bluffs errors, however,
were more costly than those of Pasco.
Hedge Swanson caught Schumacher
for the first tine and did very well,
although he allowed fast one, to get
away from him, Pasco runner scor-
ing from third Morford was the hit
ting star for White Bluffs, getting
four hits, all of them nice clean ones,
out of five times up. Dick at short
also drove out couple of healthy two
baggers. Even though they lost the
game, the White Bluffs team looked
bette-t than they have at any time this
season. With couple of exceptions,
every man of the team was hitting and
while all their dives did not go safe,
due in large measure to the fast
fielding of the Pasco club, there was
always chance as long as they were
connecting. Playing the same kind of
game against almost any of the other
clubs in the league, White Bluffs
would probably have won last Sunday.
Kennewick won owes Richland at
Kennewick by score of IA to 2. Con-
nell, who was scheduled to play at
Hanford last Sunday, has quit for the
season and has thereby disrupted the
league schedule. 1t is not known at
this time whether it is possible to sub
stitute some other team this late il,
the season. Cornell was to play at
White Bluffs next Sunday but Man.
ager Kirby says that their disbanding
will not prevent game here if he
can arrange a game with some outside
team. He is corresponding with the
Colored Giants of Yakima and the
Othello team and expects to land one
or the other

MUST SELL POWER
BEFORE dam IS BUILT

The immediate development of the
Priest Rapids power site does not look
quite so good now as it did short
time ago. President Mitchell of the
Electric Bond and Shares Company
financing corporation of the General
Electric during his visit in Seattle
the lated part of last week gave out
an interview to the Seattle Post
Intelligencer in which he said that nc
data had yet been fixed for starting
construction work. He said that this
would be determined when contracts
fer the sale of sufficient amount of
the power to justify construction, had
been secured. Mr.. Pierce, he said, was
in Eulope now looking up the different
uses for which excess power was sold
and intimated that something definite
might be available upon Mr.. Pierce's
return. All of the other big questions
in reference to the Priest Rapids de-
velopment apparently have been taken
care OF.
In spite of Mr.. Mitchell's somewhat
pessirnistic view, there is a general
feeling through out the state that there
will be some activity at Priest Rapids
before the first Of next year. The pro-
ject can not be held up indefinitely
and unless development is started
within the physiological time, the re-
suits may be unsatisfactory to the
power company. The fact that for the
past few, months, the work of tying to-
gethet all the different distributing
systems in the West has been and is
being carried out lends weight to the
belief that market for the enormous
amount of power to be generated at
Priest Rapids may be found other than
at the place of development. This
would have tendency to hasten con-
strIIction

ECONOMY PLAN WORKING

Some new Improvements have just

These consist of a concrete walk,

swings and outdoor basketball
equipment. The school board says
these improvements were absolute

The board is adhering strictly to
it's economy plan initiated couple
of years ago, and making expendi-
lures only when necessary. When
the financial condition Of the dis
trict two years ago made retrench
ment necessary in order. to opera tie,
the district was Sc, 100 over it's le
gal Indebtedness. Notes were Civ.
en- by local residents for the Sc, 100
to keep the school going.

BILE, the board last year wiped out
$4,000 of this SIS, 100 and by con-
tnuing this economy plan expects
to clean up the balance this year.
An extra levy, however. will have
to be voted each year for several
years in order to take care Of the
overhead and to provide funds to
retire tie maturing bonds that
stand against the district.

Paris Fashions for
 Spring Affected by
 New War m China

PARIS, Jan. 31.-China's civil war
 has had far-reaching effects in Paris
 where the selection of materials for spring models already in the course
 of preparation in the great dressmak- ing houses in spite of the fact that the winter season has barely got under way.
 Far eastern silks, of Chinese color designs and bearing such names as China crepe, crepe Majunga and Chin Chin, are being extensively used in the creation of delectable models to be launched at Auteuil and Long
 champs next spring, in which prom ises to be one of the liveliest sea sons for feminine raiment
 Solid colors such as gray, skyblue or pale green, with wide borders done in hennas, yellow and soft shades of lavender predominate.
 Some carry designs so large that two or three patterns would make a
 gown for a petite person. One pat tern is a large yellow sunflOwer with a brown center on a white back
 ground Another sample of the Chin
 csc influence is a large all-over pat tern done in three different cOlors. The first TOW is in black and white; i; the second and middle strip in black, lred and white and in the final pattern green is added.
 The designs themselves thus far are free from eccentricities and un- less some radical change is made between now and spring it seems that the conventional straight line effect will again dominate the coming sea- ;so.

T'w1ij'ol' Q. Officials Meet :. And Settle Fate of
 Remote Las Palmas

MANILA, Jan. Ex-Governor Gen. eral Leonard Wood has made report to Washington regarding the dispute between the United States and the Netherlands governments over the control of Las Palmas Island, one of the Philippine group about 15 miles south of Davao province in the Cele- bes Sea- General Wood and Cover nor General D. Fock, of the Dutch East Indies, were authorized by their respective governments to reach an understanding in the matter several months ago and during an exchange of visits between the two an agree ment was reached General Wood said his report was on it's way to the war department at Washington, but on account of it's confidential nature he could not discuss it.
 Although Las Palmas is forty miles Philippine group as declared by the treaty of Paris in 1899, the Neither lands flag has continued to fly over the island and the Dutch government of Java has continued to administer the affairs of the small colony of Filipinos.
 The customs authorities are anxious for the Philippine government to ob- tain control of the island ill order to stop opium smuggling into the Phil ippines through that route. Las Palmas is only one of several islands south of Mindanao which are serving as hiding places fo rsmugglers, the customs officials declare. A num- Der of small islands near the coast of British North Borneo also furnish protection for the smugglers, who, in their fast sailing vintas, take the con- traband from Sandakan, British North Borneo, by easy stages to Jolo and Zamboanga, from which points they dispose of their goods.
