Chapter 10 MISS GREY GOES SHOPPING

Mir. Keswick Dell was engaged in the gentle art of gingering up his department, when he saw an ele- gantly dressed customer approach ing. He hurried to meet her, dis carding his gingering-up manner as he went, and putting on what the girls called his ministering-angel style.
 He was near sighted, but his eyes were good enough to see, even from the other end of the department, that here was a customer whom it would be an artistic pleasure tc dress.
 Whatever faults MT Dell had, he knew his business, and it was one of his life's sorrows that there were

NO QUORUM PRESENT

There was not sufficient stock re-
presented to constitute a quorum at
the annual stockholders meeting Of
the White Bluffs Water company
Monday evening. A total of 1880
shares of stock have been issued and
the bylaws Of the corporation pro-
vide that a majority is necessary for
the transaction OF business. At the
meeting Monday night 532 shares
were represented. or nine shares short
of quorum.
Although no official business could
be conducted, the water users present
discussed several matters in connec-
ton with the company's business. At a
previous meeting it had developed
that nearly all those whose land was
being watered from the company's
pumping plant and pipe line. had made
arrangements or had plans for getting
their irrigation water this year from
some other source and for that rea-
son it was decided at that time not
to operate the plant this coming
season.
At the meeting Monday night a
motion was passed unanimously in
structing the board Of trustees to
sell the 100 horse power motor and
other equipment at the pumping plant
to the best advantage.
While the plant will not be operat-
ed this year, the corporation is to
be held intact until all of it's business
is closed up.

SAYS "sTEP ON THE GAS"

There seems to be general feel
ing everywhere that the plans for
the development of the Preist Rapids
power site are tagging and that the
campaign needs little pep. Appar-
emily, with that in mind, A. S. Hill
yer, editor of the Sunnyside Sun,
always booster, has sent the fol-
lowing communication to the Yakima
Chamber of Commerce.:
The thought has occurred to me
that every Commercial Club between
Ellensburg and Pasco must be
asleep, otherwise they would realize
that great opportunity is passing by.
This opportunity is thing of vital
interest to the welfare of this great
district. Yet, the boosters in every
town seem to be letting it slip away
from them. It could mean another
Longview over night, and it is not
great distance from the cities of
Yakima, Ellensburg and Kennewick.
To what do I refer2-the Priest
Rapids dam.
Our sister city to the north-Wen-
atchee--has seen us lying dormant,
and has stepped out and got the
Rock Island dam under way, while
we, with Priest Rapids at our door
are still sleeping.
De you think the Priest Rapids
project is but a dream? 1t is my
opinion that with the proper initiative
it could be made reality and that
the valley metropolis, Yakima, is the
place that should lead In taking ad-
vantage of this opportunity which
has been so long before us.

The Prosser meeting will be held

No one day meeting will be held
in either the Richland or the Benton

were received requesting such a
meeting to make such meeting
worth while.
Special arrangements have been
made whereby we are to. secure 400
copies of the talks given by Mr..
Spuler and Mr.. Overly at the State
horticultural meeting. These will
be distributed to those attending the
horticultural schools, as far as they
are available. There are 81 pages
of the mimeographed material which
we feel is very valuable information
for the fruit men wishing definite
;; information as worked out by these
men at the Wenatchee Station. It
should be possible to work out a
good worm control program with
this information before the farmers

DISCUSS DEEP WELL

The principal topic discussed at the
ANNUAL stockholders meeting of the
White Bluffs Water Works Tuesday
evening, was the drilling Of deep
well in town. The trustees had re-
ceived an offer from one driller tc
sink well up to 600 feet for flat
price for the job. The offer appealed
to the stockholders, the only diff
Guilty being a financing plan tina,
would not be burdensome to them
and that would justify the driller ir
undertaking the job. The special fin.
ance committee, Edmund Anderson
w. ]. Kincaid and e. ]. O'Larey APP
pointed at special meeting in Dec.
ernber, was continued with instruc-
tons to try to work out some plar
that would raise the necessary amount
of money. They were given Until
February II to evolve some plan. The
committee announced it would be
glad TO receive suggestions from any
of the stockholders.
A financial statement issued the
first of the year showed the company
to have all bills paid and a cash bal.
ance in the bank of better than $500
The old board of trustees, F. A. Eng

new STORE TO OPEN
FIRST OF NEXT week

H. j. Upton, successful bidder last
week for the stock of groceries Of the
j. C. Schuster estate, arrived in White
Bluffs Tuesday from Neppel and has
been busy since completing the trans
fer of the business and ordering new
stock and says that if nothing unfor-
seen happens he expects to have the
store, closed since Mr. .Schuster's
death, December 90, opened again for
business the first of next week.
Mr.. Upton says he will have as
ISOLATED with him an experienced
butcher who will be in charge of the
meat department. He plans to replace
the present ice machine with a new
up-to-date machine of smaller unit

POSTPONE POULTRY SCHOOL

The two day poultry school to be
held at Prosser, January II and 18th,
has been postponed to Friday and
Saturday, January 31st and February
LIST. This change was made neces-
sary because of the inability OF Mr..
Cline tc be with us on the 18th. We
hope that all arrangements have been
made as far as Mr. Cline's time is
concerned, so that there need be no
further change in dates.
Please keep the change in dates
in mind. This is probably the only
poultry school which will be held In
the county this winter,
Mr.. Cline will be able to be with
us but one day, the 3lst. and hence
the entire day will be given over to
discussion of problems of the turkey
producer. Turkey producers over
the entire county, should check the
date carefully if they wish to attend.
We have already had inquiries from
Ellensburg and Walla Walla in re-
gard to Mr. Cline's attendance at
this school, and undoubtedly we will
have some producers from these ter
ritories present. Producers Of the
county should find it possible to at
tend this one day.
1t was expected that we should be
able to have Professor Carver to
discuss poultry problems as we ordin-
arily think of poultry. We learned
while at the conference last week that
Professor Carver could not change
dates however, and so will be unable
to be with us for February LIST, due
to the poultry short course held at
Pullman at that time. It is now plan
ned that this day will be given over
entirely to round table discussion at
which time poultrymen themselves
will contribute of their experiences
to the program. We would be glad
to have suggestions from poultrymen
for topics at this program.

ANNUAL POMONA MEETING
ATTRACTS LARGE CROWD

The annual meeting of the Benton
county Pomona Grange at Buena
Vista last Saturday was called to
order at 1880 am. by Worthy Mas
ter e. n. Nc Bee. The regular rou-
tine Of business occupied the morning
until IL o'clock, when recess was
taken for lunch.
With the exception of As minutes
for degree work put on by the Ken
newick Valley team (Which was worth
going long way to see), the Grange
held open session all afternoon. BUSH
ness discussions were interspersed
with very nice program prepared
by the Worthy Pomona Lecturer.
After an hour for dinner between
six and seven p. M, the program was
resumed, the speaker of the evening
being Representative Knute Hill, who
was delegated by the State Master
A. S. Goss to. represent him at the
meeting since Mr.. Goss was unable
to attend in person.
Following, installation of officers
was conducted by Brother Lawrence
Of Yakima, who put the work over
in a very creditable manner. The
newly installed Pomona Master Roy
err, gave very nice inaugural speech
and was answered by Past Master
Nc Bee. Speeches by the newly elect
ed local Masters were then called for
and they selected Sam Allard of
White Bluffs as their spokesman,
explaining that he could do enough
talking for all-and he did. Made a
rather creditable job Of it, too.
Pomona opened for work at II p.
m. A class of twenty-four was ini-
tiated, the work being put on by the
Vale degree team in fine shape. The
meeting adjourned at l2:45 a.

CALL CONFERENCE FOR
CENTRAL WASHINGTON

It has been realized that the grow
ers of Central Washington shoule
have Young Farmers conferences
similar to those held in the cities
of Spokane and Tacoma, representing
the eastern and western portions oi
the state. With that idea in view the
various farm organizations, the Yak.
ina Chamber of Commerce and vari.
gus individuals have set on foot q
movement for Young Farmers
conference to be known as the Cen.
trail Washington Young Farmers
Conference.
It is proposed to include in the
scope of this conference Yakima,
Kittitas, Klickitat, Benton, Franklin,
Walla Walla, Columbia and Asotin
counties as well as Chelan and Okla
hogan counties-the northern group.
The products of the counties listed
are decidedly different from the pro-
ducts including in the eastern WASH
ington and Western Washington con-
ferences.
Those sponsoring the movement
say they want it distinctly under
stood that this is to be a growers
conference; that there will be no
propaganda of any description; that
there will be no set speeches; and
in fact the groups themselves, in
round table discussion, will make their
own program and carry it out to
conclusion, thus getting the benefit
of each others experience and CARRY
it home for their own use.

and pear, soft fruit, livestock, dairy,
poultry, potato and truck, hay and

groups.
Only actual farm men and women
are eligible to participate in the dis
cussion. This conference is not an
organization, there will be no election
of officers, no membership roll and
no membership dues. While the con-
ference emphasizes participation Of
young farm men and women, includ-
ing boys and girls Of high school
age, men and women Of all ages may
attend and participate in the newer
ideas-the one complementing and
supplementing the ripper experience of
the other. The development Of the
spirit of friendship, the exchange of
ideas and cooperation in broad
sense will be the dominant purpose Of
this conference.
This conference will be held in the
city of Yakima on Thursday and Fri
day, February 6 and 7. Ample &C
comadations so far as hotel and
rooms for the various groups in which
IN meet are all nrovidad

BUYS ANOTHER TRACT


Lewis Rixie, who last surnner
bought the M IL N. Heath tract neas
the old town. added 70 his holdings
in the valley this week by the pur-
chase from Mrs. Montgomery OF the
half acre orchard tract near his first
purchase. The tract has a rather in
teresting history. Johnny Boyle was
the original owner after it was plated
and he sold it to F. M. Kent, who
later mortgaged it for $3.50. to an
eastern financier who acquired title
to it through a foreclosure of his
mortgage. F. M. Wheeler was the
next owner and he sold M. M. Sulh
van. who in turn sold to Mrs. Cordei.
ia Montgomery, who held title until
her sale ito Mr.. Rixie. T. M. Brown
cared for the place for seven years
while it was the property OF Mr..
Kent. At that time it Twas set out
to alfalfa and young fruit trees.

VITAL STATISTICS

Vital statistics tabulated for this
district by Mrs. M. M. Heath, regis
trar, show that there were three
births and six deaths here during
1929. The records of the Spokesman,
however, show that there were twelve
births of children to White Bluffs
parents during that year. This dis
crepency is due to the fact that there
is no resident physician or hospital
here and that most of the births were
registered in Granite Falls, Yakima,
Kennewick or other places.

The heroic feat of the tllustrious
American has been in the field of pure

cause he has not tried to win fortune
or break a world record, as is the usual
case in the present epoch. But his
purpose has been investigation, an ex-

dering high service to humanity.

of notes on the Pole, to which, for the

TYNE of man to accumulate fortune. He
leaves that to others, because he con-
siders that a secondary matter in his
life.

who has just crowned his marvellous
