WATER RIGHT OWNERS TAKE PRELIMINARY
STEP TO TAKE over Observation-Disclosures

The first constructive step in tn,
water case in two years was taker
at a meeting of about 40 water righ
owners at Liberty hall Tuesday even
ing.
Edmund Anderson called the meet
ing to order and on motion he was
made permanent chairman and F. A
English, secretary, of the meeting
Is announcing the object of the meet
ling, Mr.. Anderson said:
"The purpose of calling this meet
ing is for the election of committee
to work out feasible plan OF solv-
ing the present difficulty with which
the water right owners. are confronted.
It is evident that an irrigation district
should be organized to handle the sit
uation and to do this it is also evident
that committee should be elected to
work, out the details and it should be
sufficiently large to represent all in
terests.
IT,. for one, have unbounded faith
in this valley and believe that the pro-
ject has wonderful possibilities, equal
Led nowhere else, if properly handled
and managed.
II want to emphasize that we might
just as well forget the power COM
pany as far as being able to collect
damages or compensation for any Of
our rights, whatever they might be.
We may just as well forget that the
company has any present intention Of
building the Priests Rapids dam, and
to remember that what is done or
to be done to put the project on its
feet and going concern, must be
done by the water right owners them
selves.
IT firmly believe that with its pos
sibil.ties, the project, if properly ham
died, can be made not only self-sus-
tanning, but one of the best riga
ton projects in the state"
After Mr.. Anderson had been made
permanent chairman of the meeting,
and F. A. English, permanent secre-
tary, motion was made that the
chairman name a nominating COM
mittee, for the purpose. of suggesting
names for the permanent committee
to handle the preliminary work Of
the organization. Mr.. Anderson NAM
ed on this nominating committee, Alex
McConnachie and w. H. Real, giving
them the privilege of naming third
member to serve with them. They Sc
lected D. IS. Wilkinson. This commit
tee, after a conference, suggested the
following names to serve on the per-
manent committee: Loren Hanford,
John Melee, Ira Hawley, LA. Cod
ding, w. H. Keal, w. ]. Kincaid, A.
Nice onnaclie, ]. F. Blealdey, G. T.
'Slavei1s, S. M. Bnsco, Dan Blrch,
w. F. Shaw and X. E. Grant. In Of
fering this list of names, the nominal
ing committee, also suggested that
the permanent committee be privi-
legged to name two other members, to
make a total membership of fifteen.
This committee and report were on
motion, accepted by the meeting, with
the term of office of the committee
being fixed at one year and with the

| privilege of the committee filling an,
vacancies that might occur.
While the nominating committe,
was in conference, WslJ. Kincaid wa,
called on to explain the organization
Of, the. old irrigation district and some
of the history of its action and its
present status.
Mr.. Kincaid said that the objects
of the old district were two-fold: first
to determine the cost and feasibility oil
a gravity flow of water. from the
proposed dam at Priest Rapids; and
second, to find out If through it some
settlement could be. made with the
companies, that would 5settle the con-
troversy and permit the valley to be
developed is some constructive way.
While the engineers employed, Mr..
Kincaid said, had determined the cost
and feasibility Of a gravity system,
the Priest Rapids dam was never
built and the company refused to en-
terrain any proposition that contem-
plated the irrigation Of any other than
7Hanford water right land, and the
deal fell through. Being inactive, the
district has not gone to the expense
of holding annual elections for sever
al years. Mr.. Kincaid suggested that
all of the data and information Sc
cured by the old irrigation district be
turned over to the committee selected
at the meeting and that the attorney
they select should Determine whether
to Use it in the present situation, or to
modify its boundaries. 'or to form a
new district.
After other phases Of. the situation
had been discussed by the water right
owners present, the meeting adjourned
and the committee Immediately got
together in the hall and organized by
the election of the following officers
president, John McFee; first vice.
president, L. A. Codding; second vice.
president, G. T. Slavens; secretary, D.
S. Wilkinson; treasurer, w. ]. Kin
cad.
On motion, Ira &C. Hawley was
named with the officers of the COM
mittee to draft the form Of organi-
eaton, a<
The committee adjourned to meet
again on call of the president. The
first acton planned is the seeking
of conference with Receiver Mar
vim Chase, in order that they may Sc
cure all of the information and data
pertinent to the situation, including
the physical condition of the instru-
mentalities, probable repair costs,
what has to be done at this. time, and
any and all other information that
may help the committee in formulate
ing its plans.
There was no acrimony DR. discord
at the meeting and judging from the
expressions of the various water right
owners in attendance, every one was
in mood to do his best to help in
any constructive plans that the COM
n1ittee may adopt to meet the present
situation and to put the project OH
its feet.

CROWDS EHJoy SKATING

The colder weather for the past two
weeks has frozen the water in the
sloughs along the Columbia river that
provided wonderful skating for the
youngsters and some who are not
quite so young. There is no snow on
the ice and with large bon fires built
from drift wood along the banks of
the river, many pleasant skating part
les have been held in the evenings and
on Sundays. 1t was estimated that the
crowd out at the slough just above
the White Bluffs ferry landing last
Sunday numbered over fifty.

MONTE CARLO HAS
 STRANGE SETTING
Residents Of Famous City Are
 Exempt From Taxes

Washington, D. C.. Jan. 1s-The return of the Prince of Monaco from his villa in France to his pal ace in his little Riviera principality because of a political crisis, em- phasizes anew the strange status of this tiniest of European countries, says 8 bulletin from the Washing ton. D. C.. headquarters of the Ma tional Geographic Society. Both the national council of Monaco and the municipal council of Monte Carlo resigned before the princes arrival as a protest against the policies and management of the Casino of Monte Carlo, and the princes ap- parent approval of it's course.
 No Taxes Paid By Citizens
 The average taxpayer of the United States is interested when he learns that Monte Carlo citizens are exempt from taxes" says the bulle- tin. ''He is likely to be amused when he learns that as a sort of price for this freedom they are solemnly prohibited from gambling. Doubtless he will be astounded when he acquires a third fact: no taxes are collected from the non- gambling Monegasques because the country's and the city's expenses are paid from gambling profits!
 ''The city of Monte Carlo is a di- rect creation of the magnificent Casino which dominates it's shore line. Seventy-five years ago Monaco town existed on its rock to the south much as it had existed for seven centuries; and at its foot was part of the present commune of La Con- damine. But to the north. the site of Monte Carlo was only a pictures que brown plateau and hillside. scared with rough outcropping rock lodges. with here and there an isolated house. In 1856 the reigning Prince of Monaco permit ted the establishment of small gaming casino on the Rock of Mon- aco. Soon it was moved to the bare plateau to the north.

By 1878 the pros- perity was so great that the first unit of the present elaborate and magnificent gaming casino was erected. Greater and more hand some hotels, theaters and art mu- seums arose. and villa after villa appeared on the hillsides.
 City of White Marble
 "The recorder of facts who writes of the Monte Carlo of today must holds himself in leash lest his facts appear like extrayagant fancies. Monte Carlo probably could not be said truthfully to be either the most beautiful or the cleanest little city in the world or to have the worlds finest seashore setting. But when all three of these factors are consid- cred at once 1t is doubtful If any other town of it's size can vie with this sparkling City of Chance.

GRE7NA GREEN HAS
 ESTABLISHED MARK
New Record of Marriage Nets
 200 Couples

Gretna Green, Scotland. Jan. IS tR-Romance blossomed ill this historic resort of runaway lovers with more than ancient splendor during the last 12 months
 Beguiled by the hymeneal tradi- tions which hang over the anvil of the Gretna Green smithy and the informal altar of the toll collector. 200 couples said their marriage vows here in 1928, setting a new record in the towns famous indus try.
 Five American bridegrooms claim ed their brides here during the boom year.
 No longer is a Gretna Green mar riage necessarily the climax of an .lopement. Since 1856 1t has not been possible to unite man and wife with glorious haste on this side of the border. But the glamour of the old romantic days still draws scores of couples here to take the matri- monial pledge.
 The worldwide fame of Gretna Green was established when Scot tish laws permitted quick and easy marriages. Before 1856 the statutes allowed man and maid to embrace wedlock by merely declaring their intention before witnesses. No h- cense and no preacher or magis- trate were required.
 Love-lorn couples in England in those old days would traditionally flee into Scotland-and Gretna Green was the first town north o1 the border on the chief highway.
 The blacksmith shop of the will lase became the accepted nuptial scene of the eloping. couples. The brawny smith added many a guinea to his income by joining willing hands acroas his anvil. The toll-gate keeper was the smithy's keenest rival in this profitable avocation Any man. indeed. was qualified te oversee the simple ceremony. and gather in the shillings from gen. erous bridegrooms.
 Tho law of 1856, however, estab. lished the requirement that one oi the contracting parties must live fir Scotland for q days before the wedding.

FEMALE EXISTS
 AS REPRODUCER
Hllts Sole Function Is Give
 NeV Life Individuality

Cleveland. Jan. 1s N-The fe- male element in reproduction is alone sufficient to produce a new organism, Professor Albert Bracht. of tho University of Brussels. told the Cleveland Academy of Medicine last night. The sole function of the male, he said, Is to give the new life individuality: ''the residue of its ancestors"
 Numerous experiments in which life had been induced, followed im- mediately by growth. through labo- ratory treatment of the female egg were cited. but the noted European anatomist and authority on genetics said that tests could not be conduct ed with human beings.
 Take . female frogs egg. un- fertilized. and puncture it with a minute glass point" he said. in ex- plaining his methods. ''and 1t will begin to grow. Take the female egg of the sea urchin and treat it with a certain acid and that develops.
 We have found that the femab element in reproduction is sufficient to produce the new organism. The male addition merely gives 1t indi- viduality. the residue of it's ances- torA Unfortunately. however, these same tests cannot be experimentally induced in the human"
 Prof. Bracht said the only social significance of his discoveries is in their influence on health laws, along the line of approved genetics and such as would build up general health. AS far as heredity in the human race goes Prof. Bracht be- lieves. the race gets about the type of man 1t wants, no matter what his rating by science.
