Celebrating qWaMw,qnt
BY ELMO SCOTT WATSON

M washington was man
IA who had two birthdays.
"E He was born on Febru-
T airy II, 1872, but Eng
E@ lands adoption Of the
Gregorian calendar in
~ 1852 changed the ami
versary of his birth
from February II TO February %,
the date on which we now honor
his memory.
Considering the fact that Wash
ingtOn's birthday is one of only sew
en- days in the year observed in all
states and territories of the Union,
an honor accorded to no other
American, il Is noteworthy that
Washington himself paid little at
tention TO the anniversary-perhaps
even less than the average person
does 10 his own. AT least, that is
the impression one gets from his
diaries, journals, account books and
other manuscript records, and they
shed little light on the question OF
whether Washington regarded Feb
ruary IL or February % as his
birthday.
True, in a letter dated May .,
1872, answering a request from Sir
Isaac Heard, Garter King Of Arms
in London, for the genealogical rec
ord Of the Washington family, he
wrote that he was born February
11th- (old style) 1872" But pre-
sumably he did not consider the an
niversary, whether the eleventh or
the twenty-second, Of enough i'm
portance 10 mention II specifically
in any of the records which he kept.
If he regarded February - as his
birthday after the calendar change
in 1852, then an event which &C.
CURED on February 81, 1854 must
have been something of birthday
present" for him. Returning 10 VIII

There is no special record In con-

been a happy one. For he had just

MO|R TELLS OF
CHECKING PLANS
All Deer Killed i'm Colville Area
to Be Reported by
Clubs

During the coming deer season q
check ~ to be made on the deer
in the ColviQle area which includes
al the land between the Columbia
and Okanogan rivers and Canada,
A. D. Moir, supervisor. of the Col
vile forest, says. Local sports
mems clubs, the Indian Service,
and the Forest Service are all CO.
operating in making the count
which will take place between Oc-
tober Goth and November LIST.
The OBJECT OF the check is to de-
termine tue number and location
of deer killed III order to obtain
data on which to tase manage
ment plant Which VIII increase the
number f--deer and yet have no
detrimental effect on the Other
forest resources.
Checkers will be located at stra-
tegic points on roads and ferries
sc that deer will be counted as the
hunters leave the erea. Local
specimens clubs are cooperatiEj
by furnishing checkers and mater
ials. The Lincoln countq chapter
of the Izaak Walton League il
FERRY on the San Poll road The
Coulee Dam chapter of the Pog-
gle Club is furnishing checker
for the Nespellem1 road and the Ste
vens county sportsman's assccia-
ton will check all hunters cross
in the Kettle Falls bridge. Other
roads and ferries leaving the Col
vile Indian Reservation will be
checked by the Indian Agency
while others leaving the Colville
Forest will be checked by the For
est Service. The Spokane county
sportsmen's association is furn-
ishing Cards needed for the count.
In connection with the count of
the deer killed {, a special service

ed that hunters will avail them
selves of this service which is Of
fered for their convenience.
All local hunters are requested
to register their kill with local rep
resentatives in order that the cou-
MT will be as complete as pos
sible.
The count of the deer killed on
the Colville area does not take the
place of the postal card which has
to be filled out in connection with
the Big Game Seal. Hunters are
cautioned to send in these CardS
as failure to do SO cancels their

SURVEY LINES

Canal lines and lateral feed dit

100000 acres of land in the Col

omic survey OF the arid region is

Frank A. Banks, construction
engineer for the reclamation BUY
eau ON the Grand eoulee, will start
field parties at once on the econ
omic survey.
One of the big tasks involved in
the survey is that of establishing
the land ownership in the immen
Sc areas proposed for irrigation
There are understood to be several
THOUSAND land owners.
The third feature of the survey
is soil analysis including land
classification.
No one can predict definitely
what will result from the economic
survey, which is to be completed in
ia Year, but speculation is strong
that President Roosevelt 2 favors
purchase of the land in order to
assue an rderly development of
the area to be reclaimed.
Remarks by DR.. Elwood Mead.
commissioner OF reclamation,
pointed in this direction on the oc
casion of his last visit here.

chase the land" said Mir. Mead.
I'm this way we can assure proper

HIGHER LAND SALES
REFLECT CONFIDENCE

Index figures galore may be as
sembled to measure how North.-
west agriculture Is recovering from
the depression, but the best index
OF all, accoi ding to officers of the
Land Bank OF Spokane is the ''gra
SIS roots" faith which farmers are
. showing in land as investment, as
borne out by their eagerness to
buy farm property while prices are
sllll favorable.
During each succeeding month
for the past two years the land di-
vision of tn Land Bank has regis
tered a new gain in the sale of ac-
qulred farms, reports vice presi-
dent Ward K Newcomb, climaxed
by the sale of sos properties dur
ing the first nine; months Of this
year for total of $2,144,s52 as
compared with sales of SIG prop
critics in the corresponding period
last year for $1,545,168. Even
significant, Mr.. Newcomb
states, is the fact that down pay
tnents this year have averaged
Iore than double that Of 1884.
This eager demand is most
VI 'tifylng to the tank". he ex
plainsa because 1t Is our purpose
to get acquired farms back into the
hands of individual farmers just
as rapidly as buyers can be found
who have t1e capacity to succeed.
For this aIason the bank is Ole
ing its .loidings on attractive
terms cnnducive to home owner
Ship, with\ interest at per cen;
ON contract balances.
We ar particularly pleased to
see so m; ~ tenant farmers and
young far ers interested in pur-
chasing pl. es of their own while
land prices are reasonable. NOV
in several decades have new farm
owners had SUCH favorable oppor-
tunities to buy at the bottom and
share in the upturn of agriculture.
1T is sad commentary on our
farm civilization that the majority
of land sales in the past have taken
place when land values were high,
resulting in foreclosures in periods
of depression. Our best safeguard
is to put more stability in land
value SO farms can be purchased
In safety at reasonable Prices. and
mortgages paid off during periods
of gpod times. This Is a policy
whicht he Land bank Is endeaydr-
ing to foster by using sound ap-
praisal methods which safeguard
farmers against borrowing more
than their farm is capable Of re-
paying, based upon average net re-
TURNS that may be expected over a
long period of years.

lot of balQyhoo Posted by real es-
tate spectators. He refers to the
sale OF town lots in some private
towns. over which neither the
State nor Federal Government
has any control. Aside from the
sale Of these lots, at from $4,000
to $4,000 apiece, to people who
tried to secure a safe refuge from
the depression, there is no specula-
ton whatever going on IN connec
ton with a project that involves
an area embracing 100000 &C
res of land. The project has been
kept as clean as a hounds tooth
by State and Federl authorities.
Mr.. Davenport would make it
appear that the Grand Coulee PRO-
ject is bitterly opposed by the peo-
pie of Seattle and Tacoma. This Is
absolutely untrue. The people of
the entire state Of Washington
have for years strongly supported
this project. 1t has been endorsed
by practically every Chamber of
Commerce in the State, including
those of Seattle and Tacoma.

five great major purposes. 1t will
not only produce as very large
block of cheap power and ulti-

the bear limit is one bruin. Dis
tricts closed to bear and deer hunt
ing are Adams, Benton, Douglas,
Franklin, Grant, Lincoln and
Island in Kitsap county.
The other major hunting seas
on, October 81 to November 10 on
migratory Waterfowl, should find a
slump in hunters bags due to
stringent regulations inaugural
ed by the federal government and
accepted with slight notifications
by the state game commission of
Washington, No batting or live
! decoying will be permitted this
year, and the bag limit on ducks
stands reduced to 10 birds. The
limit on geese remains at four
| birds. RossG goose, wood duck
