HOT BEDS TO Be HEATED
BY ELECTRICITY

Electrically heated hotbeds are as
economical as ordinary manure hot
beds, and much more practical, it
has been demonstrated at the state
college by Prof. C. L. Vincent of the
department. of horticulture and H l..
Carver, investigator for the state CON-
mittee On relation of electricity to agri-
culture. Results of the experiment
are to be published in bulletin form this
fall, according to Prof. Vincent.
"It is predicted that the electric hot
bed will in time practically replace the
manure bed, which is now almost in
despensable to greenhouse men as we'll
as to the commercial and home vege-
table and flower growers. In che
larE, densely populated cities there
are many nurserymen and growers OF
vegetables who make use of manure
hotbeds, but who find it more and
more difficult each year to obtain
good manure for hotbed purposes. If
the manure has to be hauled long dis
tances or has to be shipped in, the cx-
pense becomes prohibitive
Zone of the important features about
the electric hotbed is that it can be
made Use of at any time. be it fall,
winter or spring, by simply swapping
on the electricity. Another important
thing is that the heat can be controlled
to any degree desired. Even tho the
cost of installing and operating is a
trifle higher than manure bed, the
ease cf manipulation, the fact that it
is clean and agreeable to work with,
and that it can be converted into a
cold frame by simply turning off the
electricity, makes the trifle higher cost
negligible.
THE electric bed can be put to any
number of uses. The commercial and
farm gardener will find it of use in
starting the long season vegetables as
we'll as for the growing of certain veg
etab.es out of season. The green
house propagator will use it for the
rooting Of cuttings; the bulb grower
will find it handy for growing his
crop; the window and porch fancier
can use it in his business"

JUDGE GRAVES EXPLAINS
NOTICE TO CREDITORS

1 Since the first publication of the
Notice to Creditors in the Spokesman
about July by Marvin Chase, re-
ceiver for the Black Rock Power and
Irrigation company and the Consumers
Ditch Company, some of the Hanford
water right owners have been under
the impression that any claim of dam.
ages they might have against the Two
companies would have to be filed with
the receiver within the time limit fixed
in the Notice, which was so Gays after
July l.
There is serious question as to
whether damages could be proven and
if proven whether they could be col
lected. For that reason a number Of
the water right owners hesitated
about going to the Expense of filing
a case for damages and the further
expense later of a trial to determine
whether the claim was valid and il so
also collectable.
To determine the question of the
time limit in which. these claims for
damages might be filed, this news
paper took the matter up with Judge
]. c. Lloyd, who il turn wrote to
Judge Carroll B. Graves, now the at
torney for the receiver and who, was
responsible for the notice to creditors
being published. y
While questioning 2the PROBABILITY of
such claims of damages, Judge Graves
makes it quite clear that the time for
filing them is rot limited by the notice
to creditors.
Beth Judge Lloyd's letter and Judge
Graves reply follow:
Hon. Carol B. Graves, attorney and
counsellor.
Central Bldg,
Seattle, Washington
My dear Judge:
There, will, doubtless, be
many claims for unliquidated damages
fer breach of the original land and
water contracts of the Hanford Irri-
cation and Power Company and it's
successors, presentd tc the Receiver of
the Black Rock Power & Irrigation
Company and the Consumers Ditch
Company, under his notice calling for
the presentation of claims before the
first Of September next.
/ have many clients here who do
not wish to present such claims at
present, and yet do not wish to be bar
red, concluded or astopped by the
present notice of the receiver from
availing themselves sof their rights
which they may desire tc urge at a
later time.
I have assumed that the present
notice was intended only to apply to
iguidated claims.
Will you kindly, as counsel for the
receiver, inform MEAS to whether the
notice was intended only to apply to
final and conclusive upon all persons
having any claims or demands against
the companies represented by the re-
ceiver or simply an interlocutory notice
not intended as bar or estoppel
against claims.
am,
Very truly yours,

Mr.. James Collins Lloyd
Attorney at Law,
White Bluffs, Washington

Mr.. James Collins Lloyd
Attorney at Law,
White Bluffs, Washington
Dear Sir:
have your letter of the 18th inst.
referring to certain claims for unliqui-
Gated damages on account Of claimed
breaches of the land and water deeds
and contracts issued by the old Han
ford Company and it's successors.
The notice to creditors was given SC
that all claims for debts, notes accounts
and other definite claims provablei
against the assets and property in the
hands of the receiver, might be made
if not rnaoe within the time prescribed
by the notice, they would be deemed
barred.
The claims for unliquidated damages
Of which you speak, are of an unusual
nature, and were not in mind in having
notice given to creditors. Clearly, the
worth or amount of such claims cannot
be determined by ordinary methods OF
examination or computation by re-
ceiver. A serious question will arise at
the beginning as to whether any such
claim is provable against the assets and
property in the hands Of the receiver
That will be a question for the court
to determine, and not one for the re-
ceiver, as now view it. If the claims
are Of character to be allowed, there
would still be necessary proceeding
to determine the amount of damages,
if any, to be allowed each person.
I am quite clear that the court would
rot reject any such claim on the sole
ground that it was not made within
the time stated in the notice; but it
would be considered if presented in
such time that it's determination would
nct delay the settlement of the estate.
have endeavored to answer the
question in your letter as / have under
stood it, but I express no opinion, one
way or the other, through implication
or otherwise, as to the PROBABILITIES Of
your clients claims, or the claims of
ether persons similarly situated.
Very truly yours,
