SCHOOL LEVY
FAILS WHEN 9
CAST BALLOTS
Special Election Apparently
Causes Little Concern in
Valley District; to Hold
Another Election

A special report printed in a
Yakima paper from information
given out at Prosser states that
only nine out of ESQ voters in the
Finley district voted on a special
10-mill levy for school purposes
last week and the proposal lost
by one vote. Olaf Strandwold,
county superintendent of schools,
said he thought the vote was the
lightest of any ever held in the
history of the county.
Another election will be held in
the near future, directors of the
district informed Strandwold, as
the levy is needed to operate the
school next year. The district last
year approved an extra 10-mill
levy. Two other districts, Hover
and Hartford, approved special
levies in their elections held last
week. Hartford voted additional
10 mills and Hover approved a
five-mill levy.
SCrandWold thought six other
districts, Walnut Grove, Richland,
White Bluffs, Prosser, Kennewicl
and Benton County will have spec
ial levies in order to operate the
schools. Lower property valua-
tions will work hardship on most
of the districts of the county, Mr..
Strandwold said, but the one in
the worst shape is the County Well
district in the Horse Heaven hills.
The school, operating two bus
lines and teaching all grades, has
expected revenue of only $500.
The district has three woman di-
rectors, who informed the SUPER
intendent that they will start
school and operate as long as pos
sible, but will stop furnishing bus
service. Property valuations drop
ped in that district this year from
S124,0 900 to $S7, 900. The school last
year cost $1,000.

Petitions Being Circulated in
Valley Calling for Resigna-
tons; Claim 80 Per Cent
Want Change
ARE BITTER OVER
SECOND DISASTER
State to Make Complete Survey
Of Canal System Here Next
Week

A dozen or more petitions are
being circulated in the lower val
ley today asking the immediate
resignation of the directors Of the
irrigation district. The original
plan, attempted at the time Of the
last break, calling for recall
election, was abandoned because
of no provision in the state laws
for such action.
Two petitions are in the hands
of waterusers, the milder one
reading as follows: "In view Of
the losses already sustained by
the waterusers and by the addi-
tional burdens imposed by the ex-
pense of making repairs, we, the
undersigned present this petition.
We have lost all confidence in the
ability of the present manage
ment to prevent further losses of
q similar nature and request and
urge the immediate resignation Of
the board of directors"
The other petition is much
stronger in its statements.
Much bitterness was expressed
among many of the valley farm
ers the night of the last break and
summary action was prevented by
cooler heads, according to reports.
Those who are circulating the pc
titions claim that fully ninety per
cent Of the waterusers in the val
ley will sign them and that the
charges run from mismanagement
to gross neglect. The break COM
ing so soon after the recent unan-
nounced turnout, has caused many
of the ranches to suffer loss, and
the longer the water is off the
greater viii be the damage. Cut
ting off the water without notice
to the users, for weed killing or
any other purpose is another Of
the causes for compaint.
The present board consists Of
w. T. Elliott, elected last fall,
with two more years to serve;
Jas. Johnston, with one year term
remaining and ]. B. Slaugen-
haupt, whose term expires this
fall.
Erie ]. Barnes, director Of ag-
riculture and A. ]. Bartholet, sup
erintendent Of hydraulics for the
state, were in Kennewick yester-
day morning. Inasmuch as the
state is now interested in the To-
cal situation from two angles,
that of supervision Of the distri-
button and safety for the users
and also from a financial stand
point, since the state has taken
over the bonds for both the Ken
newick and Columbia districts.
Mr.. Bartholet stated that he felt
it became necessary to send a
crew Of engineers over here Co
make a physical survey Of the en-
tire system. The men will arrive
next week to complete their work.

HORSE HEAVEN
DISTRICT ASKS
FEDERAL HELP
Want Quarter Million to Re-
tire Bond Issue so It's, 900
Acres May be Placed on the
Market

4 v
There is just possibility that
some of the federal governments
vast reconstruction fund will come
to Benton county, even tho the
City of Kennewick has decided to
pass up the opportunity of borrow
ing million to install gas, wa
ter and electric service. The Horse
Heaven Irrigation district, a pro
ject formed some years ago with
the idea of taking water from the
Klickitat river to water the wheat
fields, has determined to apply for
a quarter million to retire a bond
issue now bearing interest at six
percent.
G. w. Hamilton of Prosser, Sec
rotary of the district said the
loan would end the litigation of
the district. According to the in
depreciation given the bill by City
Attorney G. L. Holcomb, the money
the federal government has avail
able is in the form of a relief
emergency measure and would not
become available for paying for
Indebtedness already incurred.
Senator C. c.. Dill and Repre-
sentative John w. Summers have
agreed to support the district in
its application, however, Mr.. Ham
ilton asserted. The district pro-
poses to turn over the bonds draw
ing six percent interest and held
by the committee, to the govern
ment in exchange for the loan.
The committee holding the
bonds has made application in the
federal court for receiyership
for the Horse Heaven district and
a loan from the finance corpora
ton would relieve the district of
the expense of the receivership.
end the litigation and enable the
directors to sell the $4,000 acres
OF land now held by the district.
Hamilton said.

GROWERS LOSE
IN APPLE SUIT
AGAINST AGENT
Decision Far Reaching in
Selling Methods; Local Men
Must Take Same Chances
on Getting Money

Announcement was made this
week thru the press that the case
of r. L. Nelson and T. M. Kass
versus the K. Lane Johnson COM
pany,, which had been carried to
the United States Supreme court,
had been decided against the grow
ers. The decision handed down an
opinion which will have far-reach-
ing effects upon the marketing of
fruit.
The court held that grower
who turned his fruit over to a
pool, Immediately thereby passed
title to the agent handling the
pool.
The case grew out of the claim
of the local growers as special
creditors of the defunct johnson
company, due to the fact that the
money which was held by trust
company, some $4,000, was re-
ceived from the sale of the local
growers fruit. They claimed they
should have received their money
in advance of other creditors. I'm
der the ruling just received, they
must prorate their claims with the
rest of the creditors.

Boys Fling Cracker
in LEM Basement

The local police made hurried
dash to q Garden Tract residence
Tuesday evening, in answer to a
telephone call that informed of
ficers that someone had gone wild
with shooting iron.
The officers investigation, how
ever, revealed no horrors, but did
furnish a few laughs and chuckles.
As it happened some youths had
no doubt thot it would be a big
joke to lower a giant fire crack
er into the basement thru a win
dow, and see if they could create
a little excitement.
Although the joke became a
rather serious matter, the fire
cracker surely did it's. stuff.

DITCH BREAKS
AGAIN; NEED
WEEK TO FIX
Flume at Badger Canyon
Springs Leak; Washes Out
Supports; Repairs to Cost
$4,000

One hundred fifty feet Of the
Badger canyon flume on the main
canal of the Columbia Irrigation
system was carried away Tuesday
morning, when supports to the
bridge structure holding the flume
gave away, where the gulch is
crossed.
1t was thought that the break
was caused by the flume spring
ing a leak, and washing out
the foundations of the structure.
The break occurred on the east end
of the span.
The farmyard of M. Pardini
was flooded and water rose to the
floor level of his residence, while
much of his farm land was cover
ed and some crops washed out or
destroyed. The ranch of Grin
Beinhart was also covered by the
flood waters. State highway num-
Der also suffered damage as the
water rushed down the canyon and
crossed the road, which resulted in
washing out of considerable road
shoulder.
A hurried estimate of damages
to the irrigation flume itself was
placed at $4,000 and will probably
take about week to replace.
Waters continued to pour from
the break for hours after it had
been shut off at the main head
gates on the Yakima river, about
IL miles above the scene Of the ac-
cident.
