Dismissal of
Appeal Will Be
Heard Friday
QUESTION OF DEFAULT OF Az
PELLANTs IN WATER CASE
UP TO SUPREME COURT

When the appellants in the water
case failed to complete their appeal
within ninety days after the filing of
the decree in the Superior Court, Fred
Cunningham attorney for the irriga-
ton district considered the advisability
| of filing motion to dismiss the ap-
peal. Later however, stipulation was
entered into between counsel for both
appellants and respondents, in which
it was agreed that appellants be CIV
en- until December 81, 1881, in which
to complete their appeal and that the
case be set for hearing in the Supreme
Court during the January term.
Now it appears that appellants have
failed to complete their appeal within
the time specified in the stipulation
and Mr. Cunningham has filed a mo-
ton to dismiss the case
Argument on this motion will be
heard by the Supreme Court at Olym-
pia, on Friday, January %. The court
can either deny or sustain this mo-
ton. If denied, it is quite likely
time will be fixed within the January
term in which appellants must COM
plete their appeal. If, on the other
hand, the motion is sustained, the ap-
peal will be dismissed and the bonds
approved. This will permit the district
to secure the finances to acquire title
to the property.
When title passes to the irrigation
district, the receivership will be au-
tomatically terminated and the district
will take over the operation and man
agement of the project
Had the pending litigation been out
of the way last fall, improvements at
Priest Rapids could have been under
taken that would have made it pos
sible to realize this year around So
900 from the sale of surplus power.
This sum would have gone a long
way towards offsetting the 1882 main
tenance charges, a contingency that
would have no doubt been welcomed
by the water users under the project,
particularly this year.

Road Bids to Be
Opened January ~

Bids for the grading and surfacing
of the road north of Richland toward
Hanford will be opened by the Ben
ton county commissioners on January
20 and construction will start as soon
after that date as the weather will
permit.
1t is expected there will be keen
competition for the work as ten firms
have asked for specifications, accord
ing to County Engineer H. j. Strand
void. The stretch that is to be i'm
proved will be from Richland north.
Bids for oiling the route are expected
to be called for shortly after the grad
ing and surfacing are completed.
The piece of road to be improved is
a link in the route leading through
this valley and Kennewick to con-
nection with the North Bank highway,
now under construction. 1t is hoped
that the state will eventually adopt
this route as it's north and south high
way across the state.

w. B. Hi Wins Over
Richland, Score 22-8

The local hoopsters have taken a
fir1ner hold o. the top round of the
Benton County tournament ladder.
In the games played at Richland
last Friday evening the teams from
White Bluffs won and lost. The girls
were hopelessly outclassed as the 81
to Is score would indicate. The boys
got off to slow start and after the
first 16 minutes of play went to their
quarters on the pay end of an 8-6
score. The second half was an entirely
different tale; not only did White
Bluffs run circles around Richland, but
they did great defensive job by
holding them scoreless and finished
up the evening with % counters.
Richland's defeat marks the fourth
consecutive victory for the quintet
from the Bluffs as the first half OF
the schedule comes to a close. The
game with Benton City Friday is the
crucial encounter of the season and
if the boys from here come through
this game unsecured, they may find
themselves representing this county at
Yakima in March.

Water Works Takes Over
Care Of Fire Equipment

Providing that the expense Of
amending It's bylaws 50 that the new
responsibilities may be legally UNDER
taken, is not excessive, the White
Bluffs Water Works will take over the
monthly collections for the street
lights, as we'll as the care and housing
of the town fire equipment.
This action was taken by the stock
holders of the Water Works at their
annual meeting last Friday evening,
the final decision being left to the
board of trustees. It is possible that
the present bylaws are broad enough
to permit the taking on of the in
creased responsibilities, but a legal
opinion on the question will be Sc
cured
The board was also directed to as
certain the cost of building over the
town we'll, to be large enough to house
both the equipment of the Water
Works and the fire apparatus.
The annual report of the secretary
treasurer, D. S. Wilkinson, together
with a check of the receipts and ex-
penditures since the report was issued,
showed that since the last stockhold-
ers' meeting two years ago, the Water
Works has purchased an electrical
thawing machine at cost of 1852,
has dug a new concerted we'll at an
expense of about $40 and had cash
balance on hand as of January l.,
1882, of nearly 5000.
These added improvements, together
with the regular overhead and opera
ton costs of the system, were paid for
out of the monthly water charges
which will compare very favorably with
charges for like service in towns much
larger than White Bluffs.
The old board, F. A. English, D. S.
Wilkinson and E. J.. O'Larey were re-
elected for the coming year and the
board organized by the reelection of
the old officers, F.. A. English, chair
man, and D. S. Wilkinson, secretary
treasurer.

Strawberry Freezing
Experiment a Success

Pacific coast strawberries, packed
and frozen for more than a year in
"a laboratory experiment, have main
tanned excellent quality and from 90
to SO per cent of the organisms in
them that cause spoilage have been
killed, the United States Department.
of Agriculture reports. Effective kill
ing of these organisms is one of the
chief problems in the frozen-pack
method.
ARCHAEOLOGICAL studies on frozen
pack fruits and vegetables were start
ed last year in the recently established
frozen-pack laboratory of the Bureau
of Plant Industry in Seattle. The work
has been under the direction of James
A. Berry, and preliminary results are
now available.
Sound fruit, suitably packed and
promptly frozen, was excellent in quail
ity after being frozen for IL months
the report shows. Inferior or over
ripe fruit, however, had a poor appear
|ance when thawed and was not in
marketable condition. ,,~ss
In the strawberry studies, nlicrobi-
illogical analyses were made of 100
samples of Pacific Northwest straw
berries, chiefly of the Marshall variety.
The samples were packed in the 1880
season in paper containers and in No.
2 tin cans, without and with vacuum,
and in sirups of different strengths
Fifteen months after the fruit had
been stored at is degrees F. the fruit
was thawed and again analysed micro
biologically. This analysis showed that
30 to SO per cent of the organisms had
been killed.
Berries having 10000 organisms per
gram at the time of packing gave
counts of 1000 or less. The chief sur
viving organisms are species of Pen
+icillium and spore-forming bacteria.
In particular, the cold killed most of
the yeasts, so that cans defrosted and
kept in the laboratory failed to de-
velop pressure. Other things being
equal, sealed cans showed a somewhat
higher "kill" than paper containers,
which are not alright.

Feeders Day Date
Set for January 26
BY H. p. Singleton
Superintendent, Experiment Station

January 26 has been set aside as
Feeders Day at the Irrigation Branch
Experiment Station. The experimental
feeding program with lambs will be
completed at that time and the data
for this year as we'll as former years
will be available. The lambs will be
in the feed lots and visitors will have
an opportunity to see the lambs and
observe the method of handling the
feeding work. No additional program
has been planned.
The feeding program this winter in
Guided the fattcning of 1000 lambs,
$50 of which were fed in experimental
lots of Is lambs each Various grains
which are being fed with chopped al
falfa hay are: Turkey, Jenkin and
Baart wheat: Baart wheat, whole,
steam rolled and ground; Barley,
whole, steam rolled, and ground; Oats,
whole steam rolled and ground; Thayer
and Reid corn. The relative value Of
potatoes, silage and apples, when fed
with whole wheat and chopped hay is
also being studied.
The feeding operations are part of
the soil fertility program at the sta
ton. 1t is the general practice to feed
all forage and cereal crops grown. The
feeding program is also of value in de
termining which crops and varieties to
grow. Feed value per ton and tons
grown per acre are used as the basis
for this determination.

Limited Sales Tax
Measure Now in Congress

To raise revenues with which to
increasing deficits, the following tax
measure has been proposed in Con-
gress:
"A per cent sales tax on radio
and monograph equipment and &C
cessories to be paid by the manufact-
urers
2 A manufacturers sales tax OF 5
per cent on automobiles, 3 per cent on
trucks and 2k per cent on automobile
accessories
8 A stamp check of 2 cents on each
check or draft In Seattle the clearing
house has already imposed 1-cent
tax on checks after limited number
are drawn.
A. A stamp tax upon all conveyances
of realty amounting to so cents for
each $500 in value in excess OF 500.
S. A tax on telegraph, telephone and
radio messages, 5 cents where the
charges are between IA cents and SO
cents and 10 cents on all charges IN
excess of SO cents.
6. An increase of one sixth on to-
bacco manufacturers and products ex-
cepting cigars.
7. An increase of one per cent per
500 in existing stamp taxes upon sales
and transfers of capital stock.
5. A 10 per cent tax on all theater
admissions above 10 cents. The pres
ent tax is limited to tickets costing
$500 or more
The proposal, as now framed, would
limit the operation of the law to two
and half years. The recommends
lions would virtually restore the tax
of 1924.
