HEARING ON PETITION
TO Be HELD May a

| Those Of the water right owners who
are represented by the Wooten CON-
rnittee have, through their attorney, II
]. Snively, filed petition in Federal
Court asking that the receiver of the
properties be discharged and that the
irrigation instrumentalities of the
Black Rock Power & Irrigation COM
rany and the Consumers Ditch COM
pany be turned over to them forth
with. An order has been signed by
Judge Webster fixing Saturday, May 4,
in the Federal Court in Spokane as the
time and place for a hearing on the
petition.
In general, the allegations set up
and the relief asked for are the same
as were contained in the petition of the
same parties filed in the court during
the 1928 irrigation season. That petit
ion was denied by the Court and as
there have been no material changes in
the situation since that time, the present
petition will in all likelihood meet the
same fate or May 4. as did its pred
ecessor.
1t is too bad that this hearing could
not be held at a nearer point than Spo-
kane SO that large crowd of the water
right owners could attend in person and
hear with their own ears the Courts
ruling.
However, Spokane is not located 1T
an impossible distance from this valley
and as the roads are good, those of the
water right owners who can should
make an effort to attend the hearing in
person OF: May a.

GOOD BULL PENS NECESSARY

Good bulls are necessary for the
permanent improvement of dairy
herds. Every year many good bulls
that are just coming into maturity
are sent to the shambles because
their owners do not have adequate
facilities for handling them. Their
places are usually taken by young
immature animals whose breeding
qualities are unknown.
1T is only by comparing the type
and production records of the daugi-
tiers of dairy bull with the type and
production records of the dams of
these daughters that the real value
of bull becomes known. In using
this basis of measurement a bulls
transmitting ability is not known
until he is about years old. Every
effort therefore, should be used to
locate as early as possible and pro-
long the usefulness of the sires that
have proven themselves capable of
transmitting high producing ability
to their daughters. A bull that has
demonstrated this ability is known as
a proven sire"
The Safe Keeper" bull pen, plans
OF which may be obtained at the
County Agents Office, is designed to
assist breeders in handling large or
nervous dairy bulls with minimum
risk to the caretaker. These Safe
Keeper" pens, in addition to reducing
the handling risk, also assist in re-
tanning the potency and virility of the
bulls by allowing more room and
exercise. A. bull will take more exer-
else in a long narrow pen. The pen
need not be built of expensive ma
terial although is should be strongly
constructed of plank, concrete, and
iron pipe or No. woven wire fenc-
ing. The wire fence should be five
feet high with stay wires six inches
apart and be constructed of No. g
galvanized wire thruopt. If plank or
wire is used the posts should be spac-
ed not over eight feet apart.

PRIEST RAPIDS DAM
PROSPECTS LOOK BETTER


Still optimistic and still determined
to develop the Priest Rapids power
site in spite of all the discouragements
and obstacles that he has encountered
II. ]. Pierce, through the company OF
which he IS president. the Washington
Irrigation & Development, has filed an
application with the state division of
hydraulics for the diversion Of $4,000
&C cond feet in the Columbia river at
Priest Rapids for. the purpose Of con-
structing dam fuf the impounding Of
10000 acre feet OF, water
According to an associated press ac-
count published in some Of the daily
papers in the state the first of the week,
an attempt will be made to develop the
project in units.
It is proposed in the application to
construct dam 1900 feet long by 30
feet high, which would develop ap-
proxinately 100000 horse power. and
that this unit could be completed in
three years. The estimated cost of the
project would be Sal, 242, 900. The state
merit was also made in the application
that construction work would start
Immediately upon the granting Of the
permit.
The old license granted by the federal
water power leasing board expired
March 1, 1929. Mr.. Pierce's company
has filed an application for new per-
NIT but it has net been acted on yet by
the water power leasing board.
In spite Of all of the rather pessiinis-
tic reports that have been in circulation
the past few months regarding the
Priest Rapids development, there seems
to lie general feeling, that may or may
not be well founded, that construction
work on the project may be expected
within the very near future, rarticu-
larly in the event that the application
for the second perrni, receives favor
able action at the hands of the waite,
power leasing board
Should the dam be built at Priest
Rapids it will have powerful irflu
ence on other Developments in. thi'
valley. For enc thing it viii hasten th'
settlement. in a permanent way, Of thu
water case here. 1t will also, probably
mean the building of the Northern
Pacific cutoff between Cornell and
Ellensburg which would pass through
this valley On the north side Of the
Columbia, between Saddle mountain
and the river, for which the right-of-
way has already been purchased. And
it would probably bring to life again
the Weratchee Southern railroad.
When all is said and done this val
ley's hope and future are pretty tightly
wrapped up in that Priest Rapids de-
velopment and while we can not give
Mr.. Pierce much of anything but ap-
plause, nearly everyone here feels like
rising in his seat and giving him a
regular Babe Ruth yell every time he
cane to bat.

EDITOR VISITS HERE

Editor E. D. Sisson Of Rchland
Advocate, accompanied by Mrs. Sis
son, waSsa visitors;in White Bluffs on
Thursday of last week. Mr.. Sisson
had the misfortune to lose his printing
plant, including the building, equip
ment and household goods by fire a
few weeks ago. This misfortune was
followed by severe illness from which
he is just recovering He was under
the impression that the Hanford
Herald plant was still stored at Han
ford and drove UP to look it over with
the idea of purchasing some of the
equipment for the new plant he is in
stalling in Richland but found when
he arrived there the plant had been
shipped to Wenatchee, where it has
since been sold.
Mr.. Sisson expects to have his new
plant in operation within the next few
weeks. II the meantime the Richland
Advocate is being published each week
in the Pasco Herald plant.

WANT TO IMPROVE LAND

D. o. Friel of Wilson Creek and
]. M. Fiiel if Waterville and the
latter's three sons, NJ p, Warner and
Edward Friel, were visitors in White
Bluffs last Saturday and Sunday. J.
M. Friel owns 200 or 800 acres on the
north side of the Columbia river, west
of Wahluke and the three young men
were inquiring about development
costs with an idea Of improving at
least a part of. the land. One of the
interesting questions they asked was
why this valley was not being deve-
loped faster. They said that lana
along the Columbia river at Orondo,
between Wenatchee and Waterville,
similar to that here, was being con-
stantly developed; that water there for
irrigation is also secured by pumping
ard that some Of the lifts rarge be-
tween $50 and 200 feet. Electric power
is used to operate the pumps. they said,
and the power rate is slightly in exess
OF the rate here. Maybe the answer
to their question is that they have
more boosters there than we have here

NOTHING ACCOMPLISHED AT
SUNDAY WATER MEETING

w. D. MacKay and James de
Veuve, land owners in the valley &C
companied by George Vandeveer, an
attorney. came over from Seattle the
latter part of last week and called
meeting of the water right owners
in Community hall in Hanferd Sun
day forenoon.
After the meeting was organized
by the election of E. r. Griner as
chairman, Mr.. de Veuve explained
briefly the purpose of the meeting
and introduced Mr.. Vandeveer who.
after reviewing the history of the
water case, said that through recent
ruling of the Supreme Court a damage
suit against the American Light and
Power company could be laid by
suing subsidiary company in the
state court, and gave it as his opin-
ion that the filing of such suit
would bring the case to speedy
settlement. Mr.. de Veuve then pro-
posed motion that committee of
three, composed of c. F. Wooten, E..
r. Griner and w. D. MacKay, be
appointed to interview the water right
owners to ascertain their sentiments.
Mr.. Wooten objected to this action,
saying that he had been told that
nothing definite was to be attempted
at the meeting. but that it would be
one of informal discussion. When in
formed that vote on the motion would
be pressed, he called on his followers
to leave the room, which they did
and the meeting was shortly there
after adjourned without anything
being accomplished.
Mr.. MacKay, MIR. de Veuve and
Mr.. Vandeveer left during the after
noon for Yakima on their way home
to Seattle.
