WARNS AGAINST
VIOLATION Of
MORTGAGE TERMS

Creditors who have taken farm
ers' notes ION the side" after agree
ing to accept Land bank commits
their claims are not only violating
the spirit of the emergency farm
mortgage, act but they have no
legal ground for collecting, accord
ing to the views of William Healy,
general counsel for the farm cred
it administration of Spokane.
CAS- condition to the granting
of an emergency Land bank COM
missianer's loan,' Mr.. Healy eX-
plains, borrowers have been re-
quired to obtain statements that
their creditors would accept the loan
proceeds in full settlement and
that no Indebtedness would remain
beyond the commissioner first
or second mortgage, which can not
exceed rs per cent of the appraised
normal value of the property.
"In setting up these reasonable
safeguards. the commissioner wise
ly reckoned, on the basis of careful
appraisal, that this amount of in
debtness was all the farm could
reasonably carry, that the borrower
should be left with clear rs per
cent equity to insure his success in
working out Of debt and owning
his farm outright within reason
able length of time.
''In cases where borrowers and
former CREDITORS have violated the
terms of their agreements by enter
ing into outside agreements, suits
for collection will be resisted by
the federal mortgage corporation
and is proper cases by the federal
land bank. Carrying indebtness ma
be regarded as a moral obligation to
be paid when the farmer is able1

ASKS HIGHER CLASSIFICATION

Jackhammer men, powder men
and steel carriers, employed on the
Grand Coulee Dam have asked to
have their classification changed
to a higher wage rating. A petit
ton to the effect signed by SO
men on the three shifts, has been
filed with the reclamation bureau
Due to the hazardous nature
of the work in which they are en-
gagged, these men feel that they
are entitled to a higher rating with
more pay. Under the provisions OIL
the petition, jackhammer men viii
receive 80 cents per hour instead
of IS cents. Powder men will re
ceive $1.20 per hour instead of 81
cents, and common labor rs cent?
instead of SO cents per hour
To anone who has observed
the work there and noted the haz
ardous nature of this class of work
it seems that their request is no
unreasonable and that it should b.
granted by the bureau of reclama
ton without any further parley.

Gravel System
Nearly Ready
Intricate Layout Will Work For
Nearly Two Years

Grand Coulee Dam, Aug. 12.-
A week from tomorrow Angus

the wheels,J which for the next two
years, and probably as long as
there is a yard of concrete to be
poured, will turn the elaborate and
expensive gravel washing, screen
ing and delivering plant.
Today nearly IS per cent of the
construction of this giant system
which will bring gravel and sand
down from the high hillside--the
Grett Pitts completed. All ma
chinery from the various plants is
practically in place so that the
MWAK figures in one week it will
be able ito start tuning up
The $500 feet of open belt, 4S
inches wide, with working capa-
city of 1900 tons per hour is ready
for work. At the extreme end, near
the ball park, the "airplane type
tripper is ready to take the load
off the conveyer and dump 1t in
high storage piles wherever desir-
ed.
Two huge all electric shovels
will be moved into place at the
Brett pit soon. They will dump in
to two swinging arterals which will
carry the aggregate over the edge
of high scaffolding where it will
be dropped into natural pile. The
shovels will work against a 40
foot bank.
At the crusher plant all cobbles
over six inches will be scalped out
and crushed, other smaller sizes
being detoured around. The result
ing material is then washed, screen
ed and segregated into another
main plant further down the hill
side and the grades taken, one at a
time, by the long conveyor belt to
the storage bins. All machinery
here is nearly ready.
The storage pile at the aggre-
gate plant will be sufficient for two
shifts or 1000 tons per hour.
Plant storage plus main storage
will supply seven of the eight four
cubic yard mixers (now arriving)
from to 4 days.
Towers for the river suspension
bridge are now rising. The aggre-
gate conveyer to the east and west
mixing plant will be 700 tons per
hour.
