"Of our cases, most are white per-
sons, although a number of negroes
also figure, and one Indian; there
are men, women and children of all
ages. Many Of them are MANNED
as well as deaf and blind. A small
handful are war veterans. In ad-
dition to braille, the deaf-blind
have various other methods of COM
munication, such as the sign Ian
guage the Morse code, etc. In
most of our listed cases, the per-
sons have retained or acquired the
faculty of speech of the spoken
word"
Some efforts 20 register, educate,
and care for the deaf-blind are now
being made in London, Paris, Berlin
and Montreal, according to Mrs.
ROuleau, who adds: "We hope that
all these things and more will be
done for our American cases
through the well-directed efforts of
a central committee for the deaf
blind"
Such a joint committee was start
ed last year, with Mrs. Rouleau as
chairman, by the Volta bureau, the
American Federation of Associa-
tions for the Hard of Hearing, and
the American Foundation for the

Water in River Has
Reached Seasons Peak

After making two futile efforts to
reach the high water mark of the peak
seasons during the last twenty years,
the Columbia river has apparently Civ
en- up the attempt and has begun to
recede, according to the measuring
gauge at the Coyote pumping plant.
The stage of water this, Thursday
morning at Coyote was SAB feet, which
is two tenths of a foot less than
week ago when the stage was 524.5
feet, the peak for 1882.
There was more snow in the water
shed this season than for a number
of years but the runof was spread over
too long a period to make unusually
high water possible.
Lots of drift wood came down this
year and those who get their fuel sup
ply from this source have had a good
harvest.
The following table showing the
date that the peak of high water was
reached in the river for each year, be-
ginning with 1910, was prepared by Sam
Allard from the records at the Coyote
pumping plant:

Lowly Post Card Not
Affected by Rate Raise

The emergency revenue measure re-
Gently enacted by Congress includes
revision upward of postage rates.
According to instructions received at
the local postoffice this week from the
Postoffice Department, all SYST class
mail for which the public has been
accustomed to pay two cents, will cost
three cents after July 6. Another SUBJ
stantial increase in rates is in the air
mail service. The present five cent rate
for the first ounce will be boosted to
eight cents and the ten cent rate for
each additional ounce will be thirteen
cents. Government post cards are not
changed and will still sell for one cent.
Effective July 6, also, the air mail
rate to Canada will be the same as
that of the United States.
Second class mail matter which in
cludes publications, will pay an in
creased rate of postage on that por-
ton of the contents devoted to adj
vertising. The general increase in this
class runs from one cent to two cents
according to the zone to which the
publication is addressed.
Some other minor revisions are also
made but they will not affect the or
binary patron of the postoffice depart
ment.

Petition for Rehearing
Filed in Water Case

A petition asking for rehearing has
been filed in the state Supreme Court
by the parties in the water case who
lost out in the recent Supreme Court
decision.
The Supreme Court can deny the
petition without an open hearing or
it may decide to hold such hearing,
at which time arguments of counsel
may be heard. Ordinarily there is not
much delay in disposing of such pc
titions and in any event it is expected
that the Supreme Court will make its
ruling and send the remittitur in the
case back to the trial court at Prosser
some time before July 10.
Once the remittitur is on file in the
Superior Court, the case is closed and
the irrigation district may then pro-
coed with the issuance and sale of its
bonds and, with the funds thus real
lied, complete the purchase and re-
Mobilization of the irrigation project.
