Confirmation
Order Signed by
Judge Webster
TITLE TO IRRIGATION PROJECT
PASSES TO PRIEST RAPIDS
IRRIGATION DISTRICT

In a proceeding lasting less than
five minutes, Judge Webster in the
Federal Court in Yakima, Tuesday
afternoon, signed an order confirming
the sale of the irrigation project in
this valley by Receiver Marvin Chase,
acting in the capacity of Master in
Chancery, to the Priest Rapids Irriga-
ton District.
The property involved in the sale in
cludes the power plant at Priest Rap
ids, the pumping plant at Coyote Rap
ids, and the transmission line con-
Meeting the two plants, the irrigation
canal and laterals and all other pro-
perty in connection with the irrigation
project formerly owned by the Black
Rock Power q Irrigation Company and
the Consumers Ditch Company
The receivership sale was held in
Yakima in February, 1881 The Priest
Rapids Irrigation District was the only
bidder, offering through w. H. Keal,
it's special agent, the upset price Of
900. BY special arrangement, the
Court permitted the sale to be made
on the payment of $4,000 in cash at
the time of the sale and $4,000 when
the district could clear up pending
litigation.
Funds for the purchase of the pro-
ject were secured by the sale of irriga-
ton district bonds to the Milwaukee
railroad which concern had previously
agreed to purchase 100000 of the dis
trct's bonds, at par At an election held
in April, 1881, the land owners in the
district voted to issue bonds in the
sum of $12500O.
The deed transferring title to the
irrigation district will be issued as soon
as few minor court details in con-
nection with the closing of the receiv-
ership have been cleared up
The district board is now going into
the naturet c. the improvements of the
project that will be undertaken this
winter. In this respect the board will
be governed in large measure by
what are the most necessary repairs
and the amount of available funds An
announcement of what improvements
will be made is expected before the
first of November.

EXPERIMENT STATION GROWS
$50 VARIETIES OF CROPS

An interesting phase of the expert
mental work at the Irrigation Branch
Experiment Station is that of investi
eating new varieties of various crops.
The term NEW varieties" includes all
varieties that have not been thoroughly
tested under irrigated conditions in
this state. These new varieties are
either varieties that are standard in
other localities or they are absolutely
new varieties that have been produced
by hybridization or mutation. New var
ieties are compared with varieties of
known value. A large percentage of
them prove to be inferior to the var
ieties which are common to the irri-
gated sections. However, few new
varieties which prove to be of greater
value than the ones commonly grown
justify the spending of considerable
time and effort in determining these
valuations.
Many different characters of the
plant are considered. These include
growth habit, disease resistance, length
of growing season, water requirement,
time of harvest, yield and quality of
the product, and other factors which
have to deal with the individual crops
studied. In case of the annual crops
the varieties change from year to year
as some of them are discarded and
other new ones are added. With the
tree fruits, however, it is necessary to
carry each variety for considerable
number of years in order to determine
it's value.
The number of varieties OF the var
ious crops tested at the Station each
year vary. In 1882 there was a total
of over two hundred and fifty var
ieties grown. These included 81 var
ieties of apples, q of peaches, SO OF
plums, 9 of cherries, 3 of nectarines,
Of plumcots, % of winter wheat, 70
Of spring cereals, II of corn, 6 of al
falfa, and IL of sweet clover.

Hunting Season
Opens Next Week

The first day of the open season
on upland birds, pheasants, cartridges
and quail, in Benton county will be
next Wednesday, October IL. There are
six days this year when pheasants and
cartridges may be hunted, October H.
16, 10, 49, 26, and 30, while quail may
be taken on only two days, October
IL and 16.
The bag limit on upland birds is Z,
divided pheasants and 4 cartridges
or quail.
The open season on waterfowl, ducks,
geese and coot, has been extended this
year to cover a period of two months,
opening at noon, October 16, and con-
tinuing until midday, December Is.
j. M. Shinn of the John Dover
ments with the county auditor to have
on hand a limited number of hunting
and fishing licenses for the accomoda-
ton of local sportsmen. The fee for
"a county hunting and fishing license
is $l.50.
Chrles r. Maybury state game dir
ector, makes the following suggestions
for the guidance of hunters:
1t is unlawful for any person to hunt
game animals or game birds protected
by law without first procuring hunt
ing license And in the case of hunting
elk, supplemental license in addition
to the regular hunting license must
be procured.
The law requires every person to
have his hunting license in his per-
sonal possession and on his person
while hunting. 1t is suggested that
every person intending to hunt pro-
cure his license early so as to avoid
the rush for licenses which often takes
place near the opening of the hunting
season. Licenses can be procured at
the office of county auditor, or from
any authorized representative.
Observe land owners rights and
first obtain his permission to hunt
upon his lands before so doing This
is quite likely to save trouble, and
will promote better feeling between
the land-ow and the hunter. Then
stick to the bag limit and play the
game in fair way. For an observance
of these things will make it easier for
yourself in the future.

Shippers Adopt
Local Fruit Labels

The officers of John Lindblad Post
report that they are already getting
results from their resolution, published
in last weeks Spokesman, urging ship

White Bluffs Horticultural Exchange,
they report, has adopted such a label

Court Approval Given
G Grade Restrictions

"The state has the right, constitu-
tionally, to exercise police power on
the economic grounds for the preserva-
ton of a paramount industry. In view
of the fact that the rule was adopted
by consent of majority of delegates
attending the conference, the squirt
does not feel that it can substitute
its judgment for the Judgment of the
state department and fruit men who
approved the rule
In those words Judge A. w. Haw-
kins in the Yakima Superior court last
Friday dismissed the case in which R..
d. Inman, Yakima orchardist, sought
from enforcing the regulation adopted
at the state grade and pack confer
ence in Wenatchee last July, restrict
ing the shipment of G grade apples.
After the Courts decision had been
announced, counsel for Inman said
that steps would be taken immedi-
ately to appeal the case to the Su-
preme court.
Among those who testified for the
plaintiff were j. w. Hebert, manager
of the Yakima Fruit Growers; Fred
Eberle, sales manager for the Horti-
cultural Union and B. A. Perham of
the Perham Fruit company Their evil
dence was to the effect that abroga-
ton of the new grade regulation at
this time would benefit rather than
impair the market. Directly opposite
testimony was given by a number of
other shippers, who testified for the
state.

Warehouse Chat
Codding Heiden1an
Something Well Never See

l. Hip congratulating Chuck on his
perfect packs.
2. Bob Knoll letting the sorters take
a rest.
3. Mrs. Martin standing without The
aid of her stool, to reach the apples.
4. George taking it easy.
S. Mrs. Wendeborn wearing, as she
did last year, an extra pair of stock
ings. I'm afraid we discouraged her
or rather, the packrat did. You renlem-
Der, it ran off with that stocking,
using it as material for a nest.
Screams and screeches were uttered
by some of the sorters Monday, when
scared by crayfish brought in by
by Art Heideman The little animal
was finally tucked away, by Joe, out
of sight in Snuces pocket, for the
evening"
The Sorter's Fairy Tale
Once upon a time, there was bold
bad inspector, who was very RUTH
less and made nervous wrecks of the
Codding-Heideman sorters. One day as
he was searching with great success)
through the bins, he looked up, to see
Andy at his side. Now, Andy was very
angry at seeing the inspector there
and secretly plotted to spirit him away
from that vicinity. Reaching into his
Hip pocket, he brought out some
SNOOSE and gave the inspector gen
erous amount. Soon, the inspector be-
came very, very dizzy and was forced
to LENA 'gainst the wall for support.
"Quick", cried Andy, "bring me some
CORDS and will tie him up" This
he did, and the knots that he tied we're
really works of ART And then they
carried him out and left him all alone
upon a KNOLL to think over his
wicked and RUTHLESS treatment of
the sorters. And so, when, after some
time Andy returned he found a very
MEEK person with tears of repentance
in his HAZEL eyes. The inspector went
home, a sadder and a wiser man, and
now he always treats the crew all
WRIGHT.
And the motto, fair sorters is:
Murder Cor wormy apples will out"
We are very much pleased by the
enthusiastic support of the White
Bluffs Warehouse, given our candidate
for president, Snuce. who is running
on the Packers ticket. The packers
in our warehouse are also giving him
big hand, by collecting slivers under
their fingernails, to be used in the
building of his platform, Even the
nuts and bolts are showing their faith
in his ability by squeaking with de-
light upon his arrival each morning.
The following are some comments by
leading citizens, concerning his char
acter:
Teddy--"A real sweetheart"
Hip-"Ole pal! Ole pal!'
Hazel--"G Grand physique"
Margie--" Marvellous dancer
Irvie 81 Mayme- -"Just like SON."
Ruth-"W Wonderful line"
mil--"Generous packer"

Seal Sale Begins
Annual Campaign to Raise Money in
Aid of Anti-Tuberculosis Fight

The annual sale of Christmas
Seals, in support of the cam
paign against tuberculosis, will
begin Monday. Volunteers from
among the women of Chapel Hill
will make a house-to-h0use
canvass, and there will be three
stations where the seals may be
purchased at any time from a
representative of the campaign
committee the Bank of Chapel
Hill, the post-ofiice lobby, and
the University Y. M. c. "A.
Three-fourths of all the mon
ey taken in is used here in the
Chapel Hill community, and the
other fourth in the statewide
struggle against tuberculosis.
The anti-tuberculosis society's
activities are entirely separate
from those of the Red Cross ;
there is no duplication in the
work of the two organizations.
The receipts from last years
seal sale amounted to 1886. So
far this year, $410 has been
spent. The contribution to the
salary of the nurse who serves
the Negroes was $50, and $3.50
was paid for the treatment of a
patient at the state sanatOrium.
Throughout the year, milk, eggs,
and other necessities have been
supplied to patients in Chapel
Hill.
Nurse Compton is constantly
engaged in preventive work.
Negro school children are ex-
amined every month, and visits
are made to homes. In 1882 the
nurse has conducted a baby
clinic, has held typhoid inocula-
ton stations, and has organized
groups of mothers for instruc-
ton in diet, home sanitation,
and home nursing.

Chapel Hill Chaf

Often am mystified by some
imposing polysyllable in the
writings of Archibald Henderson
and have to go to the dictionary
to find out what the word means.
But this time it was DR.. William
deb. MacNider who had me
floored.
When l was reading a day or
so ago his essay, "On Strife, y
which appeared in Southern
Medicine and Surgery, came
upon the phrase, Dramatically
incapacitated for labor" Inas-
much as he had had something
to say, a few lines above, about
"the secretion. Of bile by the
stomach or of gastric juice by
the stomach" | suspected a mis-
print; | thought the phrase must
have been meant to read, "stom-
achically incapacitated for la
bor," in the sense of having no
stomach for labor. Having many
times been in that condition my
self-in fact, it is my normal
condition-I considered that this
revised version made good sense.
Reading on, however, l saw
the word again, now in the ad-
jectival form, "somatic." So,
signing over the demands made
by professors upon the under
standing of the common man, I
went to my Century dictionary
and learned that "somatic"
meant "of or pertaining to the
body, or material organism, as
distinguished from the soul,
spirit, or mind; physical; cor
poreal; bodily"

as saying that work is the law
and that when a man comes to

First Move of Political Leaders.
When State Needs More Money, Is
To Give Up Revenue of S4,OOO.OOO

The most important task of
North Cardinals next legisla-
ture, which convenes early in
January, will be to raise money
sufficient to meet the needs of the
state government.
When the fiscal year begins on
the first day of July, 1888, there
will be, according to present es-
Inmates, deficit in the states
general fund of not less than
$12,000,000. Probably the at
tempt will not be made to clear
up all of this in the 1933-35 BIZ
ennium; but the political leaders
profess the intention to clear up
a considerable part of it and to
enact such taxation measures as
will keep the state from going
any deeper into the hole.
The current revenues are
around .$4,OOO,OOO less than the
current expenses. Let us sup
pose that the objective of the
political leaders will be to fill this
gap and to cut into the accumu-
lated deficit at the rate of
$4,OO0,000 a year. This means
that the annual revenue from
taxes must be increased by
S8,OOO,OOO.
