LOWERING INTAKE

The board of directors of the
White Bluffs Water company decided
at meeting Monday to let a con-
tract for the lowering of the intake
at the pumping plant on the river be-
tween two and three feet. The low
stage of water in the river at this
time and the possible shortage of
snow in tine mountains, it is believed,
may delay the rising of the river this
spring to a point where it will not run in
to the intake at its present level and
it was to meet this possible condition
that the directors decided to lower
it. Even in normal years there have
been seasons when it was impossible
to start the pumping plant until along
in April, because the river had not
risen sufficiently to flow into the in
take. It is estimated that the cost of
lowering the intake will run over
$500 and as there will be about 225
acres taking water from the plant this
year, it will require special assess
ment of $3 an acre to meet this ex-
pense. The work has already started.

White BLUFFS TO Be
MADE DISTRICT OFFICE

]. H. Cole, the first of the week,
purchased the Fred Luhnann store
building and two lots on Federal
Avenue and will fit the place up 70
long time lease to the Pacific Power
& Light company. The P. p. & L.
company plans to have an up to date
electrical store at White Bluffs carry
ing a rather complete line of electrical
appliances and equipment. They also
expect to make White Bluffs dis
trict office, like Kennewick and Pros
ser, which will have charge of all the
territory between Ringold and Bever-
ly. This will mean the addition of
two families, a district manager and
book keeper, in addition to the
regular help required as need de-
mands. Heretofore this territory has
been under the supervision of the
Pasco and Kennewick offices and
was handled as a branch.
The last of the Luhmann stock of
goods was purchased the first of the
week by Mrs. j. F. Coleman.
Mr.. ard Mrs. Luhmann expect to
leave some time next week for Yaki-
ma, where they will lease an apart
nent for month or so before leav-
ing for California, on which trip they
expect to look up a new location.

N. P. SUES BENTON COUNTY

Benton County is made defendent
in an action instituted in the Super
ior Court last week by the Northern
Pacific Railway company. The ac-
ticn is brought for the recovery of
S4,243.35 with interest from March 10
1925, which is the time their taxes
were paid, and which Is the amount
claimed was paid in excess because
of the action of the State Board of
Equalization in raising the valuations
Of the Railway Company's property
without notice Of it.
The tax was paid under protest
and later demand was made on the
Benton County Commissioners for a
refund of this amount. The matter
was referred to the Prosecuting At
te.rney and upon his advice the de-
mand was refused by the Board on
February 18th and it is as a result
Of this refusal that the suit is insti-
tuted.
Similar suits have been filed in
several Of the other counties of the
state, and their outcome will BE-
watched with considerable interest.

Representative John w. Summers
writes that he has the following seeds
to distribute to Benton County Farm
ers who will follow instructions and
report on results:
3 one pound packages of Ladino
seed.
3 one pound packages of Great
Northern field peas.
II four pound packages of Banga-
liza field peas.
one pound packages of Sudan
grass seed.
3 two pound packages of White
Clover seed.
four pound packages of Kansas
grown alfalfa seed.
Farmers desiring to try out one or
two of these varieties may do so by
sending their name and the kind they
wish to Gertrude Gage, at Kcnnewick.
The warm days for the past two
weeks following the mild winter has
brought the fruit buds along fast, and
from present indications the apricots
will be in full bloom next week. All
Of the other varieties of fruit buds
are coming along and it looks now
like the apples Will be in bloom by
April LIST. This will be much earlier
than ever before. Last year the
apples were in bloom on April 18th,
which was the earliest of any season
in the history of the valley.

COMMITTEE COMING AGAIN

A telegram from Olympia to Shaun
Kelly on Thursday said that the land
settlement committee would be in
White Bluffs again on Saturday of
this week. The telegram did not say
whether the committee had agreed on
a general plan of settlement or wheth-
err they would be rendy to offer any
thing tangible at this time. They met
in Olympia on Tuesday, however, for
this purpose, and it is possible that
they have agreed upon plan.
1t is also expected that the commit
tee, while they are here this time, will
appraise the unsolicited tracts in the
project, SO that they may be offer. d
for sale, and also appraise the other
property of the state, such as irriga-
ton pipe, pumps, motors, etc.

DA!RYMEn's CONVENTION

Benton County dairyn1en have a di-
rect interest in the Economic Confer
ence in Dairying and Forage Crops
which will be held in Seattle, March
IS and is. According to 1925 CEN
sus they own 1890 dairy cows two
years old and older.
The average production of milk per
COW is between 1900 and 5000
pounds. The production of the state
as whole averages 4,o11 pounds, the
highest of any state in the Union.
Dairy specialists, however, consider
this too low for economical produc-
ton when applied to the individual
COW.
Benton County da;ryrnen have from
3.5 to SIS acres Of pasture per animal
unit. There is one creamery located
in the country at Kennewick.
This economic conference is the
first of series which the State Col
lege is arranging on various types of
Washington agriculture. Recommen-
dations will be drawn up at this con-
ference to aid in guiding the future
development of the dairy and forage
industry.
The State College has been gather
ing facts as background for this
conference for several months and is
now looking to the men actively en-
gagged in the industry for suggestions
and ideas as to what phases should be
stimulated and what ones held in
check Representative men interested
in the industry are urged to attend
and give the conference the benefit
of their experience. The meetings
will be held in the Chamber of Com
merce Auditorium at Seattle, March
Is and Is.

lAC0STE TRIMS
C0UNTRYMAN FOR
AMERICAN TITLE

forest Hills, N. Y, Sept. 1872
lean Rene Lacoste, 22-year-old son Of
france, today took up the sceptre of
american tennis relinquished by Big
Bill Tilden after a six-year reign.
A crowd of $4,000 spectators in the
big West Side Stadium saw the cool
ana calculating Gallo stylist NOV
oown his countryman, Jean Borotra,
py scores Of Ga, 60. ga, in the first
all-foreign final in As years of compe-
titlon for the national mems singles
championship.
1t was an astonishing, II not an ex-
citing spectacle for it came as an
anti-climax TO the previous rout of
Americas Big Four" Except for a
brief flash or two of his great volley-
ing power, Borotra was far from the
meteor that swept back two of Ameri-
ca aces on successive days, Little
BIZ Johnston and Winnie" Richards.
The basque had done his full share in
accomplishing the downfall of the ma
tive forces but even his ineffective re-
sistance today could not dim the lustre
OF Lacoste's final touch to the dramatic
rise of French supremacy.
