Interest In
Water Case
Is Growing
AS Time For Sale Mears
Interested Parties Study
Plans Carefully

AS the time approaches for the re-
ownership sale,, interest is becoming
more general as to the final fate Of
the irrigation project here.
G. G. Mccormick, western repre-
sentative of the colonization and ag-
ricultural departments of the Milwau-
kee railroad, is in the valley collect
ing data to be presented to the Off
Gals of the road, to guide them in
their plans for financing an irriga-
ton district.
Miles E. Clark and S.. R. Hutchin-
son of Seattle have been here for
several days working upon their plan
and it is reported that those favor
ing private corporation plan are
working on a deal for securing Fl,
nances.
Every one hopes that all three plans
can be perfected to point where all
or at least one or more of them will
be in position to bid on the proper
ties at the time of the sale. Because
they all have the same object, there
should be no conflict between the diff
ferent plans and each one should be
given full hearing as no one can say
definitely at this time which will be
the best solution.
1t has been suggested that as a
precautionary measure in the protec-
ton of the water rights, the present
irrigation district should have suffi-
cient bonds voted to bid the upset
price fixed by the Court, but that the
district should not enter into any
competitive bidding and that the up
set price should be it's only and maxi
mum bid and, further, that if there
is any one else who bids the upset
price with the water rights protected,
the irrigation district should favor
such bid.
When all factors are considered,
nearly every one will agree that the
conditions surrounding this project
are different from any other in the
northwest which has undergone reor-
ganization. There are no outstanding
bonds held by persons in remote parts
of the country, which is factor that
has caused great deal Of trouble in
other districts; the probable upset
price is only fraction Of the actual
value of the physical properties to be
sold; there exist hydro-electric pos
sjbilities seldom found in other pro-
jects; the Columbia river offers an
unlimited supply of, water-a feature
that most other projects would envy
and in addition to this is our fine
climate and early and long growing
season, which makes it possible for
us to put our crops on the market at
a time when they do not come into
competition with like products from
other districts. These features, to-
gether with the results obtained in
the past few seasons through the
proper use of fertilizers, prove that
this valley can be made one Of the
most valuable sections Of irriga ted
Whatever plan is eventually adopt
ed, the final costs, compared with the
costs under projects which have un-
der gone reorganization, will be low.

KNUTE HILL EXPRESSES
THANKS TO VOTERS

To The Voters of Benton County:
I wish to express my sincere appre-
citation to all those who gave me such
splendid support in the recent cleo
ton, especially the members of clubs
who worked so faithfully and eff
ficiently the past few weeks, and those
who did such effective personal work
at the polls.
For my opponent and the rank and
file of those who opposed me I have
only the kindest personal feelings. I
wish to thank them for the open and
aboveboard manner of the campaign
against me. We can differ politically
without becoming personal enemies.
I shall still continue to represent ALL
the people of Benton county. l solicit
your advice and cooperation.
However, this is not a personal
triumph. 1 was not the issue. My
election was merely the expression of
the voters as to legislation. The Legis-
lature should be means for securing
constructive legislation and not an
instrument for special privilege.
Yours Sincerely,
KNUTE HILL

Pirates From
Hawaii Are
Fooled BY Love
II. S. Students Prove That
Love, Always a Potent
Factor, Still Reigns

The might and power of love has
been recognized for ages but never
has it scored triumph more spec
tacular than when on last Friday
night at the White Bluffs high school
its benign influence transformed
horde of bloodthirsty pirates into
docile pastry cooks. When the pirate
chief Drank Smith) led his evil band
with it's sinister designs into the rose
clad garden of a Ladies Seminary in
Hawaii, little did he dream what fate
love, in the form of Miss Primer
marguerite Jaeger had ordained for
him.
The entire trouble started when
Miss Primer, teacher of the Ladies'
Seminary, where lovely soft-eyed
Hawaiian naidens sang dreamy
Hawaiian songs in the shade OF per-
fumed rose trees, intercepted letter
directed to her one American pupil,
the beautiful Dorothy Dear (Aletha
Hemker), and discovered to her
horror that Dorothy's sweetheart, a
lieutenant from the battleship Tennes-
see calvin Anderson) was planning to
visit the school premises disguised as
a pirate! And how she planned to
foil him and, when the real pirates
appeared, unwittingly foiled them in
stead; and how the chief Of the pirate
band fell so desperately in love with
Miss Primer that her stern behest
for him and his band to don caps
and aprons and busy themselves in
the kitchen Of the Ladies' Seminary,
seemed only an opportunity to be near
the object of his ardent affections;
how Lieutenant Billy came and sang
songs to his sweetheart, blissfully
uninterrupted save for the chorus Of
the laughing Hawaiian madins; how
he is eventually discovered by Miss
Primer; how the character of the real
pirates is then suspected; and how,
after little furry with the majesty
Of the slaw, irapersonsted by the
gallant Lieutenant Billy, waving an
American flag and surrounded by
company of most attractivly uniformed
comrades (who really seemed to just
suddenly spring up from nowhere),
it all ended up just right, with the
lovely Dorothy Dear and Miss Primer
in the arms of their respective adj
rnirers while the chorus of maidens,
soldiers and pirate cooks made the
rafters ring with their congratulatory
sentiments set to music, made most
entertaining evening for the crowd
that comfortably filled the high school
auditorium.
The singing in the operetta, both
in the solo parts and in choruses, was
surprisingly good and the acting show
ed much careful drilling. Aletha Hem
ker revealed singing voice of rare
sweetness, while Marguerite Jaeger's
convincing acting won hearty applause.
Alvin Anderson and Frank Smith, as
the male leads, made as realistic
lovers as they did pirates.
The stage settings furnished a
charming background for the story
of the operetta, which unfolded under
the direction of Mrs. Underhi1l, who
also presided at the piano. Altogether,
the evening came up to the high stand
ard set by former high school plays.
