FAVORABLE AcTloh HOPE

J In connection with the efforts o.

Griner and ]. H. Evett of Hanfort

Recommendation of a design for

fruit wrapper, and other advertising
has been forwarded to Chicago this
date for action there. No statemen'
can be made at this writing but it is
hoped that the railway company will
have something to offer to the vari
Gus growers and packers of the
Priest Rapids vallav in connection
with this work within the next two
or three weeks at the latest. In the
meantime, if it is possible, will you
please arrange to defer any plans for
fruit labels until the officials at Chi.
cago shall have had an opportunity tc,
act on the recommendation submit

The adoption of uniform distinc.

beneficial results and it is horEd,
that the Milwaukee officials in The

the recommendations of the western

OFFICIAL GRANGE BAND

Through action taken during the
past week. the White Bluffs Band is
to become the official Grange band
of Benton County. The matter was
brought up first at the meeting OF rne
Pomona grange at Fruitvale last
Saturday night. Some OF the mem
bers lamented the fact that with the
state convention of the grange to be
held in Kennewick this year tins
county had no grange band, although
two other counties in the state were
bringing them. F. A. Engnsn, VINO
was in attendance, ti,en made pro-
posal to make the White Bluffs band
the official grange band o, this
county and tic proposal received the
wholeEearted and unanimous aP-
proval of the Pomona meeting. U. ).
Case and w. H. Ehlert, deputy mas.
tiers of the Pomona grange, attended
the band rehearsal in White Bluffs
on Monday evening and put the
matter up to the boys and they all
approved OF the action. A spcSlai
meeting of the White Bluffs grange
will be held shortly to take in all OF
the band boys who are not members
of the grange now, their initiation
fees and dues to be paid by the
Pomona grange.
BY becoming the official band OF
the grange, the organization will not
lose its indentity as the White Bluffs
Band, their obligation under the new
Arrangement being to be ready at all
times to play when called upon by

COMMITTEE SAYS PLAN
WAS TOO SOCIALISTIC

The following is synopsis of the
report made to the Governor by the
Land Settlement Adjustment Board
created by virtue of an act of the
Extraordinary Session Of the Legis-
lature of 1925-1926:
In pursuance of the provisions OF
this. act, the Board has made a care.
full investigation of each individual
tract sold by the State under the
Land Settlement Act, and has made
seperate findings in each individual
case. In arriving at its conclusions,
the Board haf taken into consideration,
primarily: f-.t: the representations
made on behalf of the State to the
settler; second, the possibility oil
probability of the settler making
good.
On the first proposition, the Board
has confined itself to the printed
literature put out by the State. On
the second, the character of the soil
the amount of water available, and
the cost of putting the water on the
land were the main factors considered.
OF the sixty-six tracts sold, sixty
four settlements were made, showing
a net loss to the State of S299, 81.
Thirty-nine tracts remaining unsold
have been appraised by the Board
at S34,o2500. The States investment
in these tracts is $192,257.38. These
tracts will be offered for sale at pub.
lie auction on the first day of June
to be sold for not less than their
individual appraised valuation. Other
assets of the project, consisting OF
pumps, motors, etc, amounting to ap
proxinately $25000,00, The States
total Investment in the project is
$557 900.
The following are the conclusions
of the Board:
"The board believes that the whole
land settlement scheme is un-econo-
mic, un-American, sociaiistic, pater-
nelistic, and contrary to the best in.
terests of the settlers and the State
that arv artificial settlement Of farm
land is unwarranted and harmful;
that the natural law of supply and
demand will in the future, as it has ir
the past. furnish ample farmers and
annie farm products; that, certainly,
until the time arrives when a farmer
can gain livelihood from the land
and find profitable markets for his
crop. there is no need for more farms
or farmers.
"The board further believes that
the whole scheme of financial State
or Government aid to individuals,
organizations or corporations, 10
fundamentally wrong and can only
result in disaster; that the individual
must be self-reliant, and not depend.
ent upon Government for financial
support; thar the only reason that
our country exists todav is because
of the independent self-reliance OF
our forefathers; that the present
tendencies to ape the old customs OF
Europe would. if persisted in, finallv
result in the old order of things land

financial servitude for the farmer

EXPECT TO HAVE DITCH
REPORT NEXT week

Having completed the field worl
and reduced most of it to figures il
his report, ]. F. Appleby, who ha
been here for the past six week
gathering engineering data for the re
habilitation of the old Hanford irri
cation system, left the latter part o
the week for Wenatchee for fna
conference with Marvin Chase, engi
neer in charge, to complete the re
port and forward it on to Judg,
Carroll B. Graves, attorney for thu
water right owners, at Seattle. Mr.
Appleby said he hoped to have thi
report in Judge Graves hands by tll'
first of next week.
Mr.. Appleby said that any state
ment he might make now regarding
what the report would show woulc
be premature and possibly mislead
ing and that he you'd prefer to lei
the final report speak for itself. l.
is expected that after Judge Graves
has read 1t over, he will
forward it on to the committee here
or possibly may come over himself
with Mr.. Chase and go into the vari-
Gus phases of the report with the
committee.
After the committee has completed
its work on the report it will be
turned over to the water right owners
and those whose land will come un.
der the proposed enlarged irrigation
system.
1t is believed that Mr.. Appleby's
report will be quite accurate for he
has checked his figures against ali
of the other engineering reports
made in previous Investigations and
when ary differences occurred in any
of these on any of the TEA
tures of the work, an investigation
was made to determine which was
correct.
Every one own.ag land below the
present canal is interested in what
the Appleby- Chase report will show
for much of the sermanent progres.
of the valley will depend on whether
it is economically and financially
possible to construct an irrigation
system substantial enough and large
enough to furnish the amount OK
water required by the land here witt
an annual maintenance charge that
the land can stand.
IF this construction cost and main.
tenance charge are within reason
and the differences between the water
right owners and the power COM
pany, which while numerous are not
impossible of solution, can be ironec
out, and those interested will each
do his or its part in the final solution
our water trouble and lawsuits and
litigation of different kinds that have
been with us for these many years
will all belong to the past.
