WAGES, HOURS
MEASURE UP
TOMORROW

A ghost of the Blue Eagle tlut'
tered over the Capitol yesterday
when the House Rules Committee
gave legislative right.of-way to the
Healey bill setting wages and
hours for industries having Gov
ernment contracts.
In reporting out the bill, in
dorsed by the Administration, the
committee limited debate to one
hour.
l. Industries dealing in COM
modities sold to the Govern
ment must adopt an eight-hour
day, 40-hour week for their
workers.
2. No person under 18 may be
employed by such firms.
3. Secretary of Labor Perkins
shall determine what Is to be
the minimum wage for work
ers employed in fulfillment Of
Government contracts. The
Secretary will use the prevail
ing wage scale.
Opponents of the measure
charged passage of the bill, which
may be considered in the House
tomorrow, will upset the financial
structure of thousands of indus
tries. Subcontractors on Govern
ment work do not come under its
provisions.
The measure was drafted by
Representative Healey Cd, Of
Massachusetts,.
Representative Lemke (R0, Of
North Dakota, coauthor of the de-
feated Frazier-Lemke farm mort
gage refinancing bill, charged the
Administration jammed the Hea-
ley measure through the House
Judiciary Committee in return for
the action of President Green, of
the American Federation Of Labor,
in opposing the farm bill.
The morning of the vote on the
Frazier-Lemke bill, Green wrote a
letter to the House pleading for
defeat of the measure which, he
said, was opposed to labor. Green's
letter was credited with turning
the tide against the bill.

DELINQUENT LANDS
TO BE SOLD JAN. 2!

Irrigation district assessments for
the year 1884 are now delinquent, ac-
cording to legal notices sent out this
week from the county treasurer's office,
and, together with the accrued inter-
est, stand as lien against the pro-
perty for which they are assessed.
A sale will be held January Is OF all
such land, unless the assessments are
paid before then, according to the no
tees
The delinquent assessment list of
the Priest Rapids irrigation district
shows a great deal of land in this
district to be delinquent, according to
w. j. Kincaid, chairman of the board
of directors, most of it being undevel-
oped land held by outside interests and
Spectators.
In checking the list to see if any
of their land is included, landowners
should observe that names on the list
| are those shown on the ownership
maps in the county auditors office,
and are not in all cases the same as
present owners, Mr. Kincaid states.

Potato Program
Outlined By
County Agent
Grower May Resell Stamps
In Event of Crop
Shortage

So many inquiries are being made
regarding the new potato program, &C
cording to Waldo w. Skuse, county ex-
tension agent, that it has been con-
sidered advisable to give the main
points of information which are avail
able at the present time. At the an
nual conference in Pullman of all eX-
tension agents of the state beginning
January 7th full supply of all nee
essary forms and instructions will be
given to the county agents so that
Immediately afterwards the work OF
the program can be gotten underway.
There is urgent need for speed In this
matter, as good many OF the early
potatoes in Benton county are planted
in February.
The "base," which means the am
CUNT of tons that a man would ordln-
arily produce, stays with the man
rather than with the land. This Is a
big help and is contrary to the first
information. The stamps In different
denominations in accordance with sizes
of containers will be issued from the
county extension office and only In
accordance with paintings. For ex-
ample, if a man has base OF lOO
tons and his quota for 1886 is 30 tons
he will be issued only the stamps for
80 tons if his acreage planted has
the prospects of giving that much
Weld. If he plants less he will receive
less stamps
T. In case there should be a crop fail
ure, a farmer will still be able to have
enough stamps to cover the amount
of the normal yield of his acreage
and his reselling of these stamps TO
other growers who might have excess
potatoes to sell would serve as crop
insurance for him. Stamps for excess
potatoes desired to be marketed can be
purchased from individuals at any
price agreed upon between the pur-
chaser and seller or from post offices
where the rate is $500 per ton. Inc
purpose of this price is to discourage
the placing of too many potatoes on
the market because OF being unpro1lt-
able. Seed potatoes sold are considered
the same as those sold commercially
so far as stamps are concerned. Ihere
are no stamps needed for potatoes re-
! tanned for personal use, as seed or iced
, for livestock or for sale to others Tor
S feed for livestock
ANY violations will be in the hands
e of the Internal Revenue Department.
r 1t Is still question as to how ac-
:, clrate proof must be furnished for
: commercial sales and production hg-
: ures. 1t is known that all Of this IN
h formation is impossible to secure but
It it would be we'll for growers to begin
= getting this information in shape pend
II ing the filling out of the application
: blanks.
n According to the census, there are
1882 farms in Benton county. How
n many of them will be involved In the
IL sale of over SO bushels of potatoes
If wear is questionable but it will prob
le ably be very large proportion OF Thu
l. number. Benton county is the thirt
a county in the state in potato produc
" ton. Mr.. Skuse states that just a
ID rapidly as possible further Information
,r and details will be put before TN
people and the program started.

Registration Forms
Ready For Siggners

Permanent registration Of voters
went into effect in all rural precincts
of the state today, January 2, and citi-
zens who wish to cast their votes at
1896 elections may register any time
from now until is days before the
election at which they wish to vote.
Registration of voters in the Han
ford precinct is being handled by e.
r. Griner while voters Of the White
Bluffs and Columbia precincts will fiji
out the necessary forms at the Office
of the White Bluffs Spokesman.
The new forms are more complicated
than the old books, but once registered,
voters worries are over--as long as
he resides in the same precinct, and
as long as he votes at at least one
election each two years. If voter
moves from one precinct to another,
he may have his registration trans
| ferred by application to the registra-
ton officer in he precinct to which
he has moved. If he fails to vote at
at least one election within two
year period, he will be notified by mail
that his registration has been can
celled, and it will be necessary for him
to register anew.
] No longer is it necessary for voter
to give his age when registering; all
that is required is that he will be al
least twenty-one years Of age on the
day of the next election. Each candi-
date for registration must swear to
verbal oath that he will fully and truly
answer such questions as may be asked
touching his qualifications as a votel
under the laws of this state.
He must state the time of his resi-
dence in the state, county and pre-
cinct. To be qualified voter one mus
have lived in the state one year, II
the county 80 days and in the precinc
80 days at the time Of the election.
He must state if he has ever re
nounced allegiance to the Unite'
States; If he has ever been convicte'
of an Infamous crime and If so, If nj
citizenship rights have been restored
whether he is able to read and spea
; the English language, and If natura
lized, he must give the facts OF hi
naturalization.

While the sun shone brightly on the
last day of December, it was one OF
the few days in the past two months
that were clear, according to weather
reports in the valley. Gabriel Jadden,
in charge of the Wahluke weather sta
ton, reports but the one clear day in
December, with four days being partly

T. Del. Moffatt, in charge of the
Hanford weather station, reports a
maximum temperature of So degrees,
recorded on both the 18th and 31st,
and minimum temperature of % de-
grees, recorded on the 23rd. Precipita-
ton during the month amounted to

Rainfall during 1885 was far below

Hanford station, the total precipitation
for 1885 being but 3.52 inches, while
normal for this station is 6.34 inches
Other points in the northwest also re-
port subnormal rainfall, several dis
tricts reporting the driest weather ir
many years.
Only two months were above nor
NAL in precipitation, these being July
and December. Precipitation during
each month of 1885, together with thu
normal rainfall, as taken from 20 years

Stamp Sales Show
Increase Over 1884

Happy days are here again, if postal
receipts are any barometer OF business
conditions, for reports from all sections
of the country indicate an increase OF
from five to ten per cent in stamp sales
in 1885 over 1884.
Right in line with the national trend
is the Priest Rapids valley, according
TO reports from local posof1ices, whose
figures show that stamp sales increased
at the same ratio.
Stamp sales at the White Bluffs
postoffice in 1885 amounted to $3.50,
according to j. E. Leander, postmaster,
while in 1884 the sales totaled $2425.
The percentage of increase, however,
was not as large as in the previous
year, which was IL per cent above
1898, in which year sales amounted to
$2136.
Increases over 1884 sales were made
In all but two months, September and
October. December sales were the
largest of the year, and in this month
the largest daily sale was made since
l
he had taken over the office in 1888
Mr.. Leander says.
While stamp sales were increasing
money order receipts were falling off
Mr. Leander says, attributing this tt
the fact that more people have bank
accounts and are now paying for pur'
chases by check instead of money order
A smaller increase was noted at thu
Hanford postofflce, where the 1881
stamp sales of $11O4.O2 were slight.
over the 1884 sales of $1O9905. Tn
largest increase at this office was mad
during May, which was the secon'
most profitable month Of the year, be
ing surpassed only by December. Sale
for 1885 were greater than for 1884 i
six months: February, March, April
May, August and November
The incoming mail was much heavie
in 1885 than in the year before, &C
cording to G. F. Wooten, postmaster
and money orders increased, both ]
number and in amounts.

HEADLINES

UPSETTING what was left OF this
years football dope bucket, Stamford
won a narrow but decisive victory over
Southern Methodist University in the
colorful Rose Bowl classic at Pasadena
New Years Day.
While few sports writers picked
Stanford as the pre-game favorlte,
pointing to statistics which showed
that the big red team had strong
defense against passing and open field
plays, and that it was far from the
colorless, conservative team it had been
painted, most of the experts and most
of the fans picked the colorful South
ern Methodist team from Texas to give
Stanford it's third successive Rose Bowl
defeat.
Determined to avenge its defeats at
the hands of eastern teams the past
two wears, Stanford set out to build
up a score in the first quarter, and
this they did, scoring a touchdown and
converting the point to gain seven
points, the only ones scored in the
game A pass made the score possible
TO THE POLITICIANS, 1896 his
tory will begin Friday night, when
President Roosevelt delivers his mes
sage on the state of the Union to Con-
gress. In the background of all DELHI
erations of Congress during the next
six months or so will be the presiden-
tial election, casting it's shadow upon
the actions of all members, and lend
ing a feverish excitement to the SEES
sion.
Despite administration efforts to
hold Congress to few major mea-
sures, it is expected that the legis-
lators will find number of matters
to occupy their attentions and to pro-
vide an excuse for speeches for home
consumption.
AS tentatively outlined at Warm
Springs, the President asks but four
things of Congress: neutrality act
to replace the one that expires Feb
ruary 20; pure food and drug act
(already passed by the senate); a ship
subsidy act, and an act to continue
some sort of MIRA authority.
