Veteran Made Poppies
To Be on Sale Saturday

To be out of work in these days of
depression places a man in very diff
ficult situation, but to be both out of
work and physically disabled makes
the situation doubly difficult. That is
the very situation in which many thou
sands of men, who, thirteen years ago,
were hailed as heroic defenders of the
country, find themselves today
These men, our disabled World War
veterans, have great difficulties even in
normal times finding work which their
shattered bodies and reduced strength
will permit them to do. Today the po-
sition of those not eligible for govern
ment compensation or who are receiv-
ing only few dollars month from
the government is desperate. They
have only one hope and that is from
their former comrades, the men of the
American Legion.
The American Legion, ably aided by
the women of the American Legion
Auxiliary, is carrying out a vast and
continuous program of relief and re-
Mobilization work for the disabled and
their families. The public sees little
of this work and has little chance to
participate, but on Saturday May %,
every person in this community will
have an opportunity to contribute to
the welfare of the men who sacrl-
feed health and strength in the ma
TONS defense.
This opportunity will come through
the memorial peoples which are to be
offered on the streets Saturday. The
peoples have been made by the dis
abled men, themselves, thousands hav-
ing been given employment in this
work during the winter and spring
All of the money raised through the
sale of the flowers will go to sup
port the relief and rehabilitation pro-
gram of the Legion and Auxiliary. BY
wearing one of these poppies we all can
pay honor to the war dead and per-
form real service in their hour Of
greatest need for those men who served
their country at such tremendous cost
to themselves in Its hour Of greatest
need.
Auxiliary members and Juniors will
sell peoples on Federal avenue, White
Bluffs and at Hanford, Saturday, May
20.

Next Cover Spray Should
Be Completed by May %

The next cover spray should be COM
pleted by May 28th. Cooling moth eggs
have been found this week in all
stages of development. The use Of
combination oil-lead arsenate spray at
this time will materially help in cod
ling moth and red spider control.
The eggs of the Peach tWig borer
will be Matching about the 18th OF

insect was not controlled by dormant
spray, partial protection against the
young larvae may be obtained by an
oil-lead arsenate spray q gallon sum-
mer oil and 3 pounds arsenate of lead
to 100 gallons of wateD. Particular
care should be taken to cover the new

use Of more than one application may
cause a spray residue removal prob
lem.

Decision Rendered May 10
Is Sweeping in It's
Effect z.

In decision handed down last
Thursday, the state Supreme Court af-
firmed the decree of Judge Levey rem
dered last July at hearing the SUI
perior Court in Prosser affecting ques-
lions in dispute between the Priest
Rapids irrigation district and certain
of the land owners in the district.
The Supreme Court opinion was
written by Justice Willard and was
concurred in by all four of the JUS
tees in Division No Two of the Su
preme court. 1t is sweeping in it's eff
feet and sustains every contention of
the irrigation district.
On April 81, 1881, j. F. Bleakley and
some of the other landowners in the
district, began an action against the
district and it's officers seeking to en-
join them from issuing and selling
any of the bonds of the district and
to have the court order the district
officers to grant plaintiffs petitions
for the exclusion of their lands from
the district
While this case was pending, the
board of directors, on May %, 1881,
instituted an action, which is common
practise in the case of the sale of dis
trict bonds, to have the court examine
all the proceedings had by the board
and agreements entered into so far as
these agreements related to or in any
manner affected the legality of the
bonds, and to approve and confirm
the same. These two cases we're con-
solidated for trial at Prosser last July
and resulted in judgment of dis
missal in the Bleakley case and an
order of confirmation in the confir-
nation proceedings.
From this decision, the plaintiffs in
the Bleakley case filed notice of APP
peal to the state Supreme court, and
the records of the two cases were con-
solidated for the purpose of the appeal.
A large number Of objections were
raised by the plaintiffs in the Bleakley
case, who we're also the defendants in
the confirmation proceedings, to the
plan of development adopted by the
district board and to the proceedings
had by the board in an endeavor to
carry out this plan Of development.
Most of these objections related to
the procedure of the board in eXclud-
ing lands, in calling and conducting
the election for the exclusion Of lands
and in calling and conducting the
the election to authorize the issuance
Of bonds, as we'll as the proceedings
had in connection with the making of
a bid for the irrigation and power
instrumentalities at the receivership
sale in Yakima in February 1881.
While these questions of procedure, if
decided by the Supreme court adverse
ly to the district, would have caused
serious delay, they probably would not
have prevented the district from the
ultimate realization of its plans. All
Of these questions were presented to

EVERY CONTENTION OF IRRIGATION DISTRICT
SUSTAINED BY SUPREME COURT

the Supreme court and all were de-
cided in favor of the district.
There were two or three objections
s:.aised by the appellants which, if de-
cided adversely TO the district, would
have prevented the district from &C
curing the properties at the receiver
ship sale.
The first of these was whether the
directors had authority to redefne the
boundaries of the district and to re-
duce the territory within it to prac-
tical size for the purpose of acquiring
and operating the irrigation power in
strumentalities in the hands of the
receiver.
The second question was whether
the rules of exclusion adopted by the
district board for determining whether
lands petitioned to be excluded from
the district should be excluded, were
fair, reasonable and legal.
The third question, and a very i'm
portant one, was whether the district
had legal authority to acquire such
instrumentalities, burdened as they are
with the duty to furnish water to the
water right lands for irrigation pun
poses in accordance with the water
deeds as defined in the Circuit Court
of Appeals decision rendered in the
year 1924 All of the questions were
decided in the affirmative by the Su-
preme court.
The Supreme court opinion, cover
ing II typewriter pages, is too long
to publish in it's entirety but certain
of the paragraphs covering some Of
the important questions, are quoted
After reciting the history of the case
the Court says on the question of ex-
clusion of lands from the district:
"It is first contended that appel
lants' lands would have been excluded
from the district if the district board
had fairly applied the following prin-
ciples which the board announced it
would act upon in considering the pc
titions for exclusion:
80 That all lands having an ade-
quate supply of water from source
independent of the canal should be
excluded. co That all petitioning land
that was low and subject to seepage
should be excluded. ~ That all pc
titioning land higher in elevation than
the canal should be excluded.
1.-The trial court correctly refused to
substitute it's judgment for that of the
district board. The appellants failed
to sustain the burden of showing their
lands were not benefited from the OPP
Grafton of the irrigation district. There
was no showing that the board acted
fraudulently or arbitrarily. In the abb
sence of a showing of fraud or arbi-
trary action, the exercise by the dis
trict board of the legislative or adj
function of passing upon
petitions for exclusion of lands from
the district is not renewable by the
courts. The determination Of the dis
trict board in denying or granting the
petitions for exclusion was an exer-
else of discretion and was considered,
in conformity with the well settled
rule, by the trial court on the record

Hanford Wins Sundays
Hectic Baseball Game

1t was supposed to have been
drama, that ball game at Hanford last
Sunday, but it turned out to be COM
edy-a comedy of errors misplays,
misjudgment and no Judgment, if you
know what we mean.
Both teams seemed to have an off
day but Hanford was a little more for
tunate in punching it's hits with White
Bluffs errors and finished on the long
I end of to score.
White Bluffs got one or more hits
in every inning, collecting total OF
| 10 during the game but even with
Hanford errors was able to score but
six times
L. w. Beldin, score keeper says that
did not attempt to keep track of them
but fan sitting on the side lines said
he counted at least 10 miscues by the
White Bluffs players and he thought
the Hanford hobbies were close to that
number.
Hanford scored all of it's runs in
the third inning on four hits, half the
total number collected during the game.
Joe Wagner on the mound for
White Bluffs, stuck it out the whole
nine innings. He is credited with 4
strikeouts but walked the same num-
Der which indicates he was not up to
his usual form.
Herb Cords started for Hanford but
yielded to Hartman when the game
was about tWo-thirds over. He is cred
tied with 2 strikeouts and Hartman
with three.
The absence of AL Barnes, second
baseman, made necessary shift in
the White Bluffs lineup that did not
add anything to it's teamwork.
Next Sunday White Bluffs will play
Columbia Valley, probably on the Pas
co grounds.
