THE RAILROAD TAX CASE

Failure of the compromise settlement in the
railroad tax was disappointing news to some
of the counties whose finances are in bad shape.
Such settlement would have meant immediate cash
for the counties, terminated the litigation expense
and provided policy for future taxation of rail
road properties
The litigation may be carried on for years. with
the possibility that it will finally end in the United
States Supreme Court. This may work temper
airy hardship on those counties having difficulty
in keeping a cash balance on hand, but in the end
may be the best way to settle the question.
The courts may find that the county tax officials
have placed too high a value the railroad pro-
perties and will cut down the amount of taxes the
railroad companies must pay. But even so, the re-
action of the average taxpayer will be better than
if the settlement had been made
There are good many people, including num-
Der Of the county commissioners, who felt that
the railroads were taking advantage Of their size
and legal machinery to drive bargain on their
taxes, and who prefer that the cases should be
tried in the courts their merits even though it
means the wait of few years

Buy Good Chicks
For Replacement
(By County Agent E. C. Durdle)

(By County Agent E. c. Durdle)
Buy vigorous chicks bred to lay large
numbers of large eggs lis the advice
of w. d. Buchanan, State College ex-
tension poultryman, to those who will
soon be purchasing stock to build up
their focks. Good chicks inherit prac-
tically all the qualities which later
make for high producing pullets and
hens. For this reason, the flock records
of the hatchery where the chicks are
purchased should be thoroughly inves-
tigated for these qualities.
Ability for high production of large
eggs must be bred into bird or it
will be of no value. Although it is not
always possible to buy chicks from
trapnested dams, it is possible to know
the flock average which is behind the
chicks. AS the rooster is nineteen
twentieths of the flock, chicks should
always be purchased from flock
mated to pedigreed cockerels. The
ROSTERS dams and sires should show
breeding for number and size of eggs
for generations back.
Vigor is another important inherited
quality. This can be easily observed
Chicks should be ready to jump out
of the box on arrival and should live
Death may be due to Encouragement
chilling, overcrowding, overheating
poor feading or disease. Special pre-
cautions should be taken to see that
chicks are from a book tested for ba-
cillary white diarrhea or pullorum
disease. If proper care is given the
chicks no one but the owner is re-
sponsible if they die.
Chicks bred to lay 100 eggs a year
or more repay the added initial cost
many times when compared to those
with no background of breeding for egg
production. Mortality of good chicks is
much lower than that of the ordinary
run and consequently requirements in
the flock are cut to minimum. The
poultryman will always be far ahead
by paying flee cents more for good
chick than by buying stock that has
no pedigreed ancestry orr inherited
ability for egg production.

to bring about the construction of a
large power plant at Priest Rapids, in
Guiding the building of dam across
the river. In the meantime, the Han
ford company, with Michael Earles In
control as its president, had encoun-
tered difficulty in financing Its opera
lions, Mr.. Earles having borrowed con-
siderable sums of money from Sc
attic bank. He was anxious to dispose
of his interests In the Hanford COM
pany. The Pacific Power & Light COM
pany was expanding its operations In
the Yakima valley, and as Mr.. Pierce
had associated himself with Mr.. Mitchell
after acquiring Mr.. Strahorn's inter-
ests on the east side Of the river, Mr..
Earles evolved a plan to dispose of his
interests In the Hanford company to
the American Power & Light company.

With new funds, the Hanford COM

irrigation season, water was delivered
for the first time throughout the main
canal, laterals, and pipe lines. The
planting Of orchards continued, new
settlers came into the country, and for
some time, up to the end Of the year
1909, 1t was an exception not to have
the hotels at Hanford and White
Bluffs filled to capacity each night.
The only means of transportation in
those days was by boat from Kenne-
not built into the valley until 1913
During the more severe winters, while
heavy ice foes were in the river, steam
boats could not operate and it was a
common occurrence to have mail only
once or twice week, brought in by
wagons or sleds from Kennewick, a
long and tiresome journey in those
days.

Fred M. We'll, and carried on through
out the year of 1909 About this time
the lands north of White Bluffs, now
supplied by the White Bluffs pipe line
from the Hanford canal, were having
difficulty in the delivery of water from
the gas producer plant, which resulted
in the owners of the project bargain
ing with the Hanford company for
HanfOrd water rights. After long ne
gotiations, the Hanford company and
the White Bluffs Irrigation company
(Which should not be confused with
the White Bluffs Land & Irrigation
company, the company developing the
lands nearest old White Bluffs entered
into an agreement whereby the Han
ford company would build a pipe line
from it's main canal to tap the al
ready constructed pipe system of the
White Bluffs Irrigation company and
the settlers who had purchased lands
from the White Bluffs Irrigation COM
pany entered into new contract with
the Hartford Irrigation and Power
company. This is the source of Hanford
water rights for this body of land.
Under the agreement between the Han
ford company and the White Bluffs

to pay off certain debts of the White
Bluffs company and reimburse itself for
such payments by collections under
the contracts it had entered into with

the settlers.

/
From the inception of the Hanford
project, it had been the hope of Judge
Cornelius H. Hanford, who had been
United States District Judge in Seattle,
to develop an irrigation project which
would return a profit to the stock
holders of the company and establish
for the settlers permanent water
right, with an ample supply of water
at cost which would make possible
profitable farming operations. Judge
Hanford held this hope to the day OF
his death.
The contract and deeds issued by the
Hanford Irrigation and Power company
provided for an annual maintenance
fee of $3.50 per acre per season for
the equivalent of 80 inches of rainfall.
The engineers of the Hanford project,
having examined lands in the Yakima
valley and other irrigated areas, had
determined that this quantity of water
was ample for producing all manner
of crops. However, it was soon dis
covered that this quantity was insult
ficient for successful maximum crop
production, but the organizers and
engineers who made the estimate had
no way of knowing this in advance
and based their judgment largely upon
the practices prevalent in other dis
tricts.
In the spring of 1910 the Pacific
Power g. Light company, which had
been organized only few months, pur-
chased the electric plants in several
towns in the Yakima valley. It COM
menced the construction of electric
transmission lines connecting the COM
munities in it's territory In 1909 Henry
J. Pierce, who for SO many years
worked to bring about the development
Of the large Priest Rapids project, as
sociated himself with Robert Strahorn,
who at that time had headquarters in
Spokane.
While the Hanford company was
completing it's power house OH the west
side of the Columbia river at Priest
Rapids, Mr.. Pierce and Mr.. Strahorn
had commenced the construction of q
power canal which was intended to
take water from the head of Priest
Rapids, carrying it along the east side
OF the river TO a point just below the
foot of the rapids, where it was planned
to construct an electric generating
station. For a number of months
force of men was engaged in this work,
when Mr.. Pierce came in contact with
S. z. Mitchell, who had organized the
American Power & Light company as
the holding company under which the
Pacific Power & Light company COM
menced operations in the Northwest
AS a result of this meeting, a plan
was worked out whereby Mr.. Stra-
horns interests on the east side of
the river were acquired by Mr. Mitchell,
who placed the property in newly
organized company known as the
Washington Irrigation and Develop
