White Bluffs is located in the heart
of the Priest Rapids valley, bordering
on the beautiful Columbia river We
have an ideal climate and long grow
ing season.
Our agricultural interests are very
large. We have wonderful crops Of
wheat, hay, potatoes, garden and or
chard products. We have several large
diaries. Sheep raising and wool pro-
duction are increasing each year.
Our wonderful Columbia river pre-
sents natural facilities for extensive
commerce. In wealth, population and
progress our valley ranks good. We
have no storms or severe winters. We
would advise Eastern folks to tear
themselves away from those blizzard
stricken countries and come to our lit
tie valley where we have good health,
good climate and plenty of opportun-
tiles.

INDIAN TRIBE
 ATTEMPTED TO
 MURDER WOMEN
Became Fanatics and Were to Have Stoned. to Death All Children and Women in Tribe

St Johns, Md. Nov S--(UP)r-A strange tale of attempted human sacrifice among tribeto of Labrador Indians in a crude experiment in eugenics' was reported last night In a wireless. message from Hopedale, Labrador. The chief of one of the tribes, named Snow Bird, became obsessed with the idea that he was vice-regent on earth of the "great spirit" and that the latter desired the stoning to death of all child less women, to insure perpetuation of the tribe and successN of its hunting.
 His followers, becoming fanatical selected the victims for the death ceremony. The husband of one sped to the nearest coast town and re- ported to the white men. A mis- sionary hurried to the Indian camp and found one woman already bound to trec by thongs of carl. bou hide, ready to be stoned. Snow Bird was persuaded to desist from the slaughter by threats that the Newfoundland police would arrest him.
