NEW KIND OF TOURISTS

An interesting item was phoned to
the Spokesman this week by Mrs. M
S. Meeks, well known as an observer
and lover of Washington's native birds
and their habits. Mrs. Meeks' home
Countryside, oyerlooks the Columbia
at one of it's most picturesque points
which gives her a great opportunity
to study the waterfowl that frequent
the river.
About seven o'clock last Sunday
morning, flock of twenty enormous
white birds that Mrs. Meeks took to
be swans, came sailing over and an
chored themselves like a fleet, she
said, on the upper end of small bar
in the river, apparently on fishing
excursion. They were flying in per-
feet formation when they passed over
the ranch. T. J. Clarke later assured
her that the big boys were not swans
but pelicans, and that the flock had
been on the river front at this place
nearly all of the previous week.
The pelican is three times as large
as a Canada goose and has a wing
spread of nearly five feet. The flock
remained at the point of the bar, Mrs.
Meeks said, with very little movement
except for one short expedition into
the fields above the river Monday
evening for green food. and carly
Tuesday morning they were gone, pro-
baby on their way to their summer
nesting grounds in the tules Of Crab
Creek up near Moses Lake.

WHEN GRATING IS
= LEGITIMATE OCCUPATION

! The County Agent for the past ten
days has been quite busy assisting
farmers with various types of graft
ing work in orchards in several COM
munities of the county. Some of this
work has been done by way of re-
pairing injury to trees, other for the
purpose of introducing pollenizers
into orchards and still another for the
purpose of working over poor var
ieties to some of the newer and more
profitable varieties.
The first job was the bridge graft
ing of trees in the Fred Johnson or
chard at Richland where trees had
been badly damaged by sheep last
fall. In some places the sheep had
almost completely girdled branches
four and five inches through. These
were bridge grated and painted over
to enable the trees to perform the
normal function Of distributing of
foods up and down the trunk.
In the Morris orchard at Richland,
the Norman Anglin orchard, Han
ford, and the Larson orchard at White
Bluffs, poor varieties such as Black
Twig, the Winter Banana and Vel
low Newtons, were worked over to
Red Delicious and Common Delicious:
In two orchards operated by l.. A.
Codding, White Bluffs and the Held
eman orchard at White Bluffs and the
Zerwekh orchard at Hanford, work
started last year was completed this
year, putting in varieties which the
grower wished as pollenizers for the
Winesaps.
On the whole the work done last
year turned out very satisfactorily.
In the two Codding orchards not
single branch having been lost and
in most instances both of the gratis
having grown. The season coming on
as rapidly as it has this year has
made it difficult to get this work
done in the time which it should be
closed up.

OUTLINE FOR YEARS WORK

Most every one in Benton county
knows that the state is maintaining
and operating an Irrigation Branch
Experiment Station at Prosser. But
every one doesn't seem to know just
what it is all about and in order that
the nature Of the work that is being
carried on there may be given some
publicity, Fl. p. Singleton, superinten-
dent in charge, has begun the issu-
ance to the county newspapers of
bulletins at regular intervals, Of
which the following is the first:
The Irrigation Branch Experiment
Station near Prosser was established
in 1919 and has conducted expert
mental work on farm problems since
that time. Following is very brief
list Of the projects for 1890:
AGRONOMY ...... H. P. Singleton
Pasture .,........... Sweet Clover;
Ladino Clover; and mixed grass
es, grazed by cows and sheep.
Alfalfa .....-........... varieties; time

]. E. Leander and S. v. Tanning
took truck load of potatoes for Mr..
Tanning to Wenatchee Tuesday. Near
Trinidad, between Quincy and Wenat-
chez, the attention of the two men
was attracted by a COW who seemed
to be having difficulty in making up
her mind about crossing the road and
while Mr.. Leander, who was driving,
was watching her instead of the road,
the truck left the highway and turned
over. One wheel of the truck was
broken and the spuds were spilled
quite generously over the road. Another
truck and a wrecker were brought out
from Wenatchee, the former to carry
the spuds and the latter to tow the
crippled truck in for repairs.

POLITICAL AFFAIRS IN
COUNTY PERKING UP

Although the fall election is still
several months away, things are be-
ginning to stir in county politics.
b. o. Keene, clerk; Harry FORSYTH,
treasurer; and Olaf Strandwold,
school superintendent, have each an
nounced that they intend to file for
reelection. While numerous possible
candidates for the other elective of
fees in Benton county have been
mentioned, with the exception of C.
w. Fristoe, of Prosser, who has an
nounced his candidacy for prosecut-
ing attorney, no other definite an
nouncements have been made.
Mr.. Keene has held an elective Of
fee in the Benton county court house
for the past eight years. He held the
position of auditor from 1922 until
1925 and was then elected to the
combined office of clerk and auditor
for a four-year term. Before being
elected to county office, Mr.. Keene
was a resident of Kennewick
Mr.. Forsyth has been resident
of Benton county for about 80 years
and has also been member Of the
court house staff for two terms.
Eight years ago he was elected coun-
ty assessor and in 1926 was elected
to the combined office of assessor
and treasurer for the four year term.
Mr.. Forsyth's home is in Prosser.
Mr.. Strandwold has been connect
ed with the county school superin-
tendent's office for the past 10 years,
although he has been head of the de-
partment but one term. Six years
before his election in 1926, he served
as deputy school superintendent. He
was also employed as teacher in the
Benton county schools nine years pre-
vious to his connection with the SUI
|pervising office.
Sheriff James Shepherd and Prose-
cutting Attorney George Beardsley
are Ineligible for reelection on ac-
count of having held their offices for
two consecutive terms.
Two of the county commissioners
are to be elected this fall, H. s..
Hughes Of Kennewick being the hold
over member of the board
C. w. Fristoe, who lives in Pros
ser, has been resident of Benton
county for good many years. He at
one time served as prosecuting at
torney in the county.

PooL:HALL CHANGES HANDS,

Harry Keller has sold his stock OF
confectionery and tobaccos and leased
the pool hall building and fixtures for
IL months to w. H. McCrory of Che
ney. The transfer will become effec-
tive as soon as the papers in the deal
are signed. Mr.. Keller says that his
plans are somewhat indefinite at this
time other than that he is going to
take rest and vacation. He said it
was quite possible that he would re-
turn to White Bluffs when the lease
expired unless he found something
elsewhere that suited him bettr.

HEAVY GRASS SHIPMENTS

On April 10, 1929, Mrs. l. B. Burns
made her first commercial shipment
of asparagus from Edgewater Ter
rance ranch, a few pounds more or
less. On April 10 of this year, her
commercial shipments had amounted
to 1906 pounds, pretty good gain
for one year. Mrs. Burns is a strong
believer in early crops of all kinds
for this valley and is confident as
paragus will take its. place along with
Ethe early fruits as an important crop.
The price she has been getting so far
this season, she considers, has been
very satisfactory. She has two acres
seeded to grass, and the marketing
has been done through the Rivers
Growers Association.
Mrs. Burns is a strong booster for
cooperative marketing, which she
feels will be the salvation of the
farming industry, not only in this.
valley, but in the entire nation.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 28.-Unless
the reported conferences of eastern
railroad executives are productive
of definite agreements, the conson-
dalton of the nations railroads into
twenty-one systems, as suggested a
year ago by the interstate commerce
commission, appears more remote
today than at any time in the nine
years that consolidation has agi-
tated congress, the commission, and
business interests.
The commission has before It an
application by the Southern Pacific

from the st. Louis & San Francisco
Frisco) against such action, but
hearings have not been held.
In the meantime, congress is pre-
pairing to amend the transportation
act definitely to restrict the manner
in which consultations can be ac-
complished, but it appears unlikely,
according to congressional leaders
that such legislation will be enacted
during the three months short ses-

NIJNI-NOVGOROD, Unit e d
States Of Soviet Russia, Nov. %
The ancient splendors Of this city
on the Volga are sadly furnished.
It's chief glory, the annual Mini
fair which once drew merchant
princes from the Russian empire
and the Orient, is no more.
Nijni-Novgorod, older than Mos
COW and once the most coveted Of
Russian possessions seemingly has
slumped to a drab provincial city.
addressed people trudge the muddy
streets between dilapidated houses.
On the surface it seems just an
other rundown old Russian city.
But under the surface beats new
life and new hope. The Commun-
lists see Nijni-Novgorod as an i'm
portant industrial and trading cen
ter. Many of the billions Of rubles
being pressed out of the nation and
poured into the development of the
Volga basin are going to the build
ing up Of this city.
Building Ford Plant
Nor is the vision entirely a phan-
tom. Dozens of Americans and
Germans working here as technical
experts can attest the earnestness
and solidity Of the plans. The be-
ginnings Of the city-to-be already
are visible.
More than 1900 workers are
busy finishing the Ford plant, the
construction of which is progressing
under guidance of the American
firm, Austin 81 Co.
A vast chemical combine is going
up. The hydro-electric station is
being rushed. Barges bring timber
to the paper and celluloid mill,
where two machines already are
working. and which when COM
pleted will be one of the largest
factories of its kind in the world.
The city and its suburbs. which
before the revolution had less than
100000 inhabitants, now contain
nearly half a million and several
hundred thousand more inevitably
will be drawn into the area as fac
tories are put into operation in the
next two years.
Keen for Future
Thus the most interesting fact
about the oldest of Russian cities
no longer is its legend-studded past
but its immediate future. What
is true of Nijni-Novgorod is true
of scores of Soviet cities.
Some, like Stalingrad at the other
end of the Volga or Novosibirsk in
Siberia, were insignificant towns
before the war and now deliberately
are being lifted artificially to indus
trial dominance. Others, once ia
nous, but accustomed to a steady
hopeless decline, suddenly have been
Jostled out of their despair.
Nijni-Novgorod is a striking in
stance of the latter class. No won
der the more alert of its citizens
and especially the young people.
off-hand, sometimes are even con-
temptuouS of the old fair and the
other memories. They are keen for
the future.
