Prospective
Settlers To Be
Aided by Club
L1sr1Nds OF LAND TO BE TAKEN
FOR INFORMATION OF
HOME SEEKERS

In order to permit it to answer
more intelligently inquiries received
from prospective settlers in this valley,
the White Bluffs Commercial Club at
we'll attended meeting Tuesday eve
ming, directed it's chairman to appoint
committee of three to accept listings
from land owners in the valley who
may care to sell their places.
The club has aready received such
inquiries and with the settling of the
water question it is anticipated they
will be arriving with more frequency.
The purpose of the listing is to provide
definite and accurate information as
to amount of acreage, price, improve
ments, nature of crops produced ETC.,
for the prospective settler. The club
feels that in bringing buyer and seller
together in this way it will be render
ing real service.
Chairman F.. A. English has ap-
pointed D. S. Wilkinson, John McFee,
and Edmund Anderson on this COM
mittee.
The road committee reported on what
had been accomplished at the Good
Roads meeting in Spokane in Sep
TENDER and since that time, particu-
larly as to the Yakima White Bluffs
Lind road. After discussing this re-
port it was decided to inquire into the
cost of printing 1000 or more folders
descriptive of this highway and argu-
ments in support of it's construction.
These folders would be distributed
among members of the legislature and
other interests active in promoting this
road.
The club authorized the expenses of
the trip of it's secretary, D. S. Wilkin-
son, to Pullman on November and 5,
to attend the meeting of the Com
mercial Club secretaries of the state.

posed of Edmund Anderson, .Neg4i Nc
Fee and R. S. Reierson was appointed.
It was brought out at the meeting that
there had been no new paintings OF
pheasants, cartridges or quail in this
valley in number of years and the
committee is to confer with game au-
thorities to see if new birds can be
brought in next year. The whitefish
are now running in the Columbia and
some fine catches have been made by
local fishermen. The committee is to
inquire into whether the whitefsh is
listed among the game fish, and if so,
the limit of the daily catch, and to
advertise among sportsmen in this part
of the state the fishing opportunities
that exist here.
This committee is also to investigate
the possibilities of providing a dock
for the motor boats and launches that
are now using the river here, as well
as some kind of building in which
boats of non-residents can be housed
when not in use.
