WANT WATER CASE TAX
MATTER HEARD SOON

An effort is being made to have
the tax matter in the water case set
for hearing some time in the near
future. However, as the service of the
sutpoenas has not yet been completed
the success of the effort will depend
on getting all parties at interest to
agree upon date prior to that time,
Because of the amount OF money
involved, this question of back taxes
is by far the most important in the
liquidation of the assets of the Black
Rock Power & Irrigation company
and the Consumers Ditch company
now in receiverstip.
For several years prior to the re-
ownership the Black Rock company
allowed the taxes on the Priest Rap
ids power plant to become delin-
quent and these taxes, together with
interest, now anotgit to around $50.

in his favor against the property. TIL.
attorneys for the water right owners
as well as for. the receiver, will take
the position that while taxes are {

case are such that 'Mr. Mentz's claim
should be disalloMed.

EVERYBODY ERJoYs FOURTH

Nearly everybody in the valley had
good time the Fourth. There were
so many private ricnics that the
crowd that gathered under the trees
at the ferry landing was not as large
as anticipated but during the after
noon the rodeo, Glitch was the best
ever put on by faeS Indians; the air
plane and the baseball game; and
the picture show and the dance in
Grarge hall in the evening, all COM
bined to furnish entertainment for
everybody.
A large crowd attended the rodeo
and che Indians hao some, of the best
bucking horses ever seen in White
Bluffs. The potato race on horseback
furnished the comedy at that show.
Yves Robbins looked like sure win
ner in this contest but the Priest
Rapids Kid made fast finish and
captured the prize.
Hanford captured the ball game,
winning over White Bluffs by score
of 6 to s.. Although the players all
showed lack of practice the score was
close enough to make the game in
teresting.
The picture show, "The Rough
Riders" was an appropriate picture
for the day and WAS thoroughly en-
joyed BY the crowd that completely
filled Liberty hall.
The dance in Grange hall attracted
a large crowd and everyone who at
tended reported a good time.

PLAN DAIRY TOUR

A three-day tour is being planned
the latter part Of August by the ex-
tension service and Herd Improve
ment Association members OF the
county. The exact days of the tour
have not been set, but plans are for
scheduling the tour when farmers are
not too busy so that as many as pos
sible can attend at least one day Of
the tour.
The purpose of the tour is to ac-
quaint as many dairymen in the coun-
ty as possible with better methods of
dairy farming. One day will be de-
voted to the Kennewick Richland
district, one day to Prosser and Ben
ton City district, and the third day
to White Bluffs and Hanford dis
trict.
A regular field day program is be-
ing planned for each day with dairy
talks Judging contests and a picnic
dinner included. A we1l-rounded in
structive tour Of interest to all at
tending will show improved methods
in pastures and pasture management,
silos and silage crops, as well as other
succulent feeds, which should be
grown by more dairymen; the value
and care Of better dairy sires; liquid
manure pits; dairy barns and equip
ment; rations; testing association rec
ords and their value as help in get
ting better dairy cows. Dairymen in
the county can be Of considerable as
sistance in making these tours worth
while if they viii write in to the coun-.
ty agents Office their ideas of what
dairy field day should show, assistant
county agent L. w. Ternahan stated.

Rivers Growers association at a meet
ing of the grower members held at
the high school Monday evening.
About twenty of the members at

The association, whose headquarters
are at Kennewick. felt that the ton
mage of strawberries, asparagus, cher
ries and. other early fruits, now han
died by it from this district entitled
the growers here to representation on
the board and it was the directors
suggestion that the meeting was held
Monday night.
Lee M. Lampson, manager for the

wick to attend the meeting and an.
swered number of questions re-
gardingz the marketing and packing

that the car of Bling cherries shipped
from White Bluffs last month, which
by the way was the first straight cal
Of cherries ever rolled from this val
ley, was sold in Toronto, Canada
for trifle over 23 cents per pound
net to the association. This is cor
sidered very satisfactory price.
Although the cherry market in thu
East has been bad for the past two
weeks, Mr.. Lampson said that all O
the cherries handled by the associa
ton this year were shipped and sole
before the market broke.
MIR. Lampson said that with thu
large number of growers now sign
ed up in this valley, together with
young orchards that will be coming
into bearing, the association will prob
bly, be able to ship three or foui
straight cars of cherries from this
valley next year

CHANGE RURAL ROUTE

The Postoffice Department has
granted petition for change in the
rural route out Of White Bluffs, south
Of town. Instead OF crossing the rail
road and going down the west side OF
the Woods place to the southwest
corner and then east, the carrier will
turn east just south Of town and go
past the Earl Roberts place to the
north and south road east of the GEM
ctery, then south to the McGraw
house on the Bleakley Fruit COM
pany orchards. The change, which is
effective July 16, will benefit four
patrons not now on the route, Earl
Roberts, ]. r. Weber, Charles Kent
and Dave Morgan.
Under a ruling Of the department
on and after July 1, 1929, all new
boxes erected on rural routes must be
of the larger size. These do not cost
a great deal more than the smaller
ones but on account of the growing
amount of parcel post matter they
have been found 10 be necessity.
Another change is being proposed
in the route that will accommodate +.
