WATER TROUBLE. IS DUE TO SNOW NOT WASTACE|
To h n R e C k Is Confident There Will Be No
 Further Shortage

"Juneau's recent shortage of water was due to an inadequate supply entering the intake from springs and was not occasioned by wastage on the part of consumers, 5 declared John Beck of the Juneau Water Company at special meet ing of the City Council, which had been called last night to discuss with him the municipality's water problems.
 But the shortage no longer ob- tains," MT. Beck added today when asked regarding present conditions. For three days, as a result of rains last week, the tanks have been overflowing. There is water in abundance now.
 Lack Of Rain
 The prolonged period of cold weather when precipitation took the form of snow, resulted in dim ished flow from the springs. As a consequence an insufficient supply entered the intake.
 Tn normal weather conditions, there is always enough rain to in sure adequate supply. I am confi- dent there will be no further trouble this winter"
 At the discussion at the Council meeting last night, some of the councilmen expressed the opinion that the city had outgrown the present water system and that It should be improved and enlarged.
 Precautions Are Urged
 However, there was no definite action on the subject. The officials were united in the opinion that precautions of some kind should be taken by the company against a recurrence of the shortage.
 "A water shortage during unusual weather conditions is not peculiar to Juneau" declared MT. Beck to- day. Countless cities, large and small in the States experience cur tailment of supplies in protracted periods of dry weather, for inst ance. The shortage in Juneau was brief"

Bankers and Farmers
To Meet at Ellensburg

A one-day discussion OF agricultural
problems and the part that bankers
and county agents may have in helping
to solve at least some of these, will
be held at Ellensburg, Wednesday
March 2. It is hoped that each banker
of the county will be able to attend
this meeting and that at least two
or three farmers from each community
may be able to attend with the county
agent or banker.
The State Bankers association for
sometime has been developing a def
mite agricultural program looking to
keener interest in the agricultural
problems of the individual commun-
tiles. A number of communities have
already developed definite agricul-
tural program with the banker having
very definite part in it. These pro-
grams are usually based upon funda-
mental agricultural problems. They dc
not, however, stress the matter of cas-
Ter credit but rather careful analysis
of the farm program preliminary to the
extension of credit on the particular
enterprise taken up. The fact that 9TH
err communities have found it possible
to do work that has been very much
worth while leads us to say that we
feel that each banker of the county
and leading farmers in the commun-
tiles might find it very much worth
while to attend this meeting.

j. T. Bregger, extension SPECIALIST in
horticulture, will be in the county
Thursday and Friday, March 3 and a
for the purpose of establishing all fol-
low-up work on demonstration pruning
of young trees with the idea of build
ing trees with strong frame work. Each
community will be visited with this
type of work and schedule will J
mailed to orchardists of the county IN
the near future. Definite steps have
not yet been arranged, which prevents
schedule being given at this time. We
would urge that growers watch the
mail closely if at all interested in this
line of work.

Potato Outlook
Meetings to Be Held

H. e. DrObiSh of the Northwest COM
mittee will be in the county again
March at which time two potato out
look meetings will be held A morn
ing meeting will be held at Kenne-
wick, beginning at $50 a. m. The af-
ternoon meeting will be held at Pros
ser, beginning at 2 p. m. The meeting
at Kennewick will probably be held at
the Chamber of Commerce rooms and
the meeting at Prosser at the Com
munity Club rooms there.
At these meetings Mr.. Drobish will
discuss the following points,. The
business situation and outlook for11932
2. The immediate production and mar
keting outlook for the 1882 potato crop
g. The long time outlook for Washing
ton farmers. a. The determining OF
cost of production for potatoes fol
1882.
A number of factors have been re-
sponsible for rapid changes in produc-
ton factors as well as the marketing
of many commodities. This meeting by
Mr.. Drobish is for the purpose of help
ing the local potato growers to come
just as near as present information will
make it possible to the point where he
may know just what the prospects fol
the potato crop may be for the COM
munity and what the outlook must be
in case of too heavy production.
At the last meeting held In connec-
ton with this work the attendance
was rather unsatisfactory and we hope
that potato growers who are really
interested in the outlook will make
an earnest attempt to be present al
these meetings.

THE BIG ASSET

In at least important respect the Priest
Rapids Irrigation District, once it acquires title
to the irrigation properties here, will occupy
unique position in connection with it's finances.
Only few of the irrigation districts have a
power project tied in with their water supply and,
so far as we know, all such districts are financed
through the U. S. Reclamation Service.
It is the announced policy of the Reclamation
Service to use the funds derived from the sale Of
excess energy to retire the construction bonds OF
the district but thereafter all such funds go to the
Reclamation Service to finance other and less for
tlnate districts.
Under the financing plan of the directors of the
Priest Rapids Irrigation District, title to the pow
er project is not surrendered by the district and
after retiring it's bonds with funds derived from
the sale of excess power, this revenue will con-
tnue to come to the district long there is
market for the power. This means regular
nual income, independent of the water charges
AS the years go this will be found to be big
asset, particularly as the opportunity for further
development at Priest Rapids for the generation
of additional power is almost unlimited.

Play--what is play? Simply doing
what you want to do Since different
things appeal to children in different
ways, what is play for one is the Sc
verest drudgery and the hardest kind
of work for another
If we accept the modern definition
of education, that it is LIFE, not in
the dim future but now, then we must
realize that play forms very import
ant part of it. To the small child play
is his most serious business. He is
most intent upon and interested in
what he wants to do. He will throw
every ounce of energy he possesses into
it.
Play as an educator of youth is one
of the first magnitude. During the
first six years of the child's life play
is his finest teacher. Many types and
kinds of the very finest character
training have come to him through
his play. He has learned. to play by
himself and to be contented. He has
learned to play with other children
and to give them square deal. He has
| developed a rugged and a healthy
physical body. He has learned to meet
and to overcome many difficulties. And
| then the modern school takes him
where his parents leave off and with
out requiring him to make such ire
mendous changes as of old continues
with his education, play forming most
important part of his training.
| You may ask how play can teach
him to read and write and spell. The
answer is that he becomes so inter
ested through play with the many. diff
ferent types and kinds of play mater
ials that his interest carries over into
his work with the same satisfying i'm
pulse and, as result, the very finest
kind of training is brought about Play
lat school, as it was at home, is a SER
ious business for him. He is learning
to- play with his classmates, to gel
along with other children, to help with
community projects, to illustrate much
of his work by building models and
if his first trial doesn't suit him, tt
tear it down and build it over. Does
play mean anything in education?
don't have in mind football, basket.
ball, baseball, or that type of play. Il
is fine. But the thing that the modern
school is stressing is to give every chile
an equal part in the benefits thai
come from play. The sickly child the
anemic little fellow, the self-containee
bashful youngster, all receive it's edu
cational and socializing benefits.
And then as children grow older ant
as the exacting duties of society bea
down upon them with greater fore
and as they take their places in tn

commercial world to do it's work, thel
their greatest asset will be that the.

how to play. Not that we shouldn't
be serious and that life is not SER
ious problem, but that we should mix
in little of the play spirit to temper
the troubles and disoppointments as
we travel along lifes pathway. The
modern school provides for play that
it's pupils may be developed into heal
thier, keener, happier members of
society.

EDUCATION THROUGH PLAY

BY o. E. HeatOn
Principal Of Logan School, Spokane

Fundamentals

Sounding a trenchant note of wisdom by counseling against forgetting the lessons brought to us by the depression, the Press-Times of Wallace, Idaho, says:
 "An age of disillusionment may be a hard time to live through, but it can also be ex- tremely healthful.
 Right now we are well in the third year of one of the sharp est eye-openers any people ev- 1T had to face. It isn't a bit of Jun, and the end is not in sight: out the important thing is to nourish the skepticism and dis illusionment which the de- 2ression has given us, and to see that we don't lay them away when good times return.
 For it is becoming obvious every day that the high old times which ended with the market crash of 1929 were, above all, an era of bunk. We kidded ourselves and we per- mitted our leaders to kid us. f there is any single reason why we descended into the pit hat was digged for us, it is that we are all so very willing to believe a lot of things that weren't so.
 "All of this, somehow, is brought to mind by a gradu- ation address made at an east ern university the other day by a prominent American states man. This statesman told his audience that they must culti-
Hyder weekly herald., 1932-07-30

vate the qualities of "self reli- ance, common sense, industry, energy, perseverance, sobriety, honesty and education" since the nations leaders invariably owe their rise to the possession of such traits.
 Now all this is very fine, and the least that we can say is that it ought to be true; but if you will think a minute you will see that a lot of men rose very high indeed during the boom years without developing any of these qualities very greatly.
 A politician could rise not ably without either self-reli- ance or common sense. A eff nancial wizard" could amass a fortune without industry, perseverance, honesty, sobri- ety or much of an education; and it seem, in fact, that ener- gy was about the one trait that was necessary in those days.
 Tt is vital that we recognize this fact. We let ourselves get away from the need of those fundamental virtues, and we are paying for it now--pay- ing for it right through the nose. If we would avoid a rep etition of the present depress- ion, we must tie up to them more firmly than ever"

of the Chilean crisis in Fl Salv- dor"

Hyder weekly herald., 1932-07-30
A Question of Policy

The establishment-in Chile of the first socialistic republic in h western hemisphere, through the overthrow of Pres ident Montero on June 4, may h ave a marked influence upon the policy of the United States with respect to Latin America. This country has in- vestments in Chile amounting to more than 800 million dol lars. Chilean bonds floated in the United States reach the sum of 275 millions. It is said that extremist leaders in Chile advocate the confiscation of foregn capital, and also de- mand the repudiation of for eign debts.
 Important as the new Chilean attitude is, the real menace is the propagation of this attitude in the rest of Latin-America, where the success of the Chil- can radical movement may en- courage communistic tenden- dencies in other countries to the southward.
 Not long ago the Martinez government of Fl Salvador put down a communistic revolt, and, although that govern ment has not been recognized by the United States, because of rather technical objections to the manner in which Martin ez came into power, it seems to have much to commend it on practical grounds. As a writ CT in the Washington Star said recently:
 Under the present circum- stances, perhaps the State De- partment should reconsider its earlier decision not to recog- nize the Martinez regime in Fl Salvador, which has been set up with the aid of armed fore es. Recognition by the United States, and the moral support which this entails, might be q guaranty against the repetition

Reports have been current this week of a fabulously rich strike on the Big Missouri. A B. Trites, who has the property under bond, did not deny they had good ore, but said there was good ore when they start ed development and that the fresh work is simply a verifi- cation of their previous know ledge. He said they do not know yet if they have a mine or not, but are going to find out, not by driving blind tun- nels but by getting onto the ore and following its course.
 Fire, caused by a gasoline explosion about 2 p. m. last Sunday, completely destroyed uS home of R. E. Lundvall in 'the forest reserve and the ad- joining building, formerly the Forest Home rooming house.
 MT. Lundvall was preparing to start his assay furnace, To- cated in the rear of the dwell- ing, when the explosion oc- cured. He was badly burned about the face and hands and is now in care of Dr. Chace. The whole populace turned out and formed bucket lines from a creek near the building and only by the most heroic efforts were the nearby cabins of Eel ix Seppi and and Mrs. Estmere, and the residence of R. L. Stew art saved. Had the last burned a row of residences in the same block could not possibly have escaped.
 The loss is approximately $3,000, with no insurance. All that was saved was a sewing machine and photograph. A movement started spontaneous ly to provide the Lundvall fam fly with a new home. Subscript- ion lists were started and a meeting was held in Pioneer Hall Monday to organize the movement. T h e monetary sights were set at $2,500 and this amount is already assured, with what is certain to come from the Premier. General manager Dale L. Pitt sent word that he would make a personal canvas on the hill. The sub scription committee consists of D. L. Pitt, for Premier, w. R. Tooth for Stewart, R. L. Stew art, Walter Blanton and Joe Mcfarland, for Hyder.
