later developments, that anything except
political jealousies and territorial ad-
vantages stood in the way of even polite
reception and consideration of the de-
mands of Mustafa Kemal for a free
Turkey for Turks.
1t is not difficult to recall today how
impatient the outside world became with
the stubbornness of Kemal's representa-
tives in treaty negotiations and how
prejudice and mistrust prevailed in the
popular mind regarding the aspirations
Of the man who had fought as an ally
of Germany and outwitted and out
fought British and French fleets on
more than one occasion. 1t is the ma
ture OF human beings not versed in in
ternational politics to doubt. But today
statesmen, politicians and laymen alike
stand convicted Of an attempted in
justice at which only the regenerated
Turks and their invincible leader can
smile with satisfaction.

The story Of Ghazi Mustafa Kemal's
career in the military service of his
country and of his postwar battle for
the liberty of his people is herewith
told in narrative that is as fascinating
as tales of the crusaders
Twenty-one illustrations, from photo
graphs, embellish the book, the text of
which has been translated from the
German by Kenneth Kirkness The au-
thor, as would be expected, handles the
subject from the sympathetic side of
the issue and of the hero, yet there
is no overplaying of the Kaleidoscope
career of Kemal and no soft-pedaling
of his hard-boiled character as it applies
to the accomplishment of the task to
which he set himself. From what is
already known of Mustafa Kemal, 1t
would seem that this biographical por-
trayal Is entirely fair as well as his

WindstOr1ll Does
Much Damage,
Trees Blown Down, Fruit Crop Bad
ly Hurt, Buildings Wrecked
BY Strong Wind

Wind, roaring in from the north
east, did an unusual amount of
damage, Monday afternoon Great
clouds of dust heralded it's advance,
but none who saw it coming had
any idea THAT the most destructive
and hardest straight wind for years
was on its way.
* Soft fruit suffered, the nlost dam
age. Estimates range from a third
to one-half of the expected crop.
ApuicotS and peaches suffered the
worst, but cherries and apples were
also damaged to some extent.
Many trees were uprooted by the
force of the blow. Limbs were torn
off the locust trees Small buildings
Were blown down on moved. In

.Austin's small garage was overturn-
ed; E. j. OLarey's aatoor was caved
III by the wind; and many other
items of damage were added to the
list.
During THE blow, lights went out,
for many, many power poles were
blown down or canted at forty five
degree angles. The local force Of
the Pacific Power g. Light Company
succeeded in getting the village
block Of lights fixed quickly, then
went on to work that night until
.2:30. At 4:3O in the morning they

building a productive, prosperous
country along it's lines. It employs
[ drained men, who have had practi-
cal farm experience, ito study and
secure the adoption of sound plans
of land utilization and farm man
agernent best suited to it's territory.
The services of these agents are
available in every community we
serve. This Road has no land to
sell. 1t aims to help the llo1neseek-
er find the kind of farm on. ranch
best suited to his purposes; to put
prospective settlers in contact with
reliable land owners and real estate
men; to aid them in securing ade-
quate land value for price paid; and
to protect them against the distri-
button of unreliable statements. We
suggest that you investigate the

climate, natural advantages, and In

you can about it's soils, productivity,

Following is the booklet:
Location: The Priest Rapids VAL
ley lies in a bend of the Columbia
River in the rlor,thern part of Ben
tom County, Washington. The riv-
er partly circles the valley on the
north and east sides AT this point
it varies from a quarter TO a half
mile in width. The Priest Rapids
Valley is in the heart of the states
most extensive irrigated sections.
There are five large irrigated dis
tricts Within a hundred miles. The
Grand Coulee Dam is being con-
structed 125 miles to the northeast
and the proposed Columbia Basin
Project is just ACROSS the river to
the north and east.
Climate: The valley is only 415
feet above sea Level. Because of
this low altitude, it's protection by
the Cascade mountain range, and
it's bordering ON the Columbia Riv-
er, tt enjoys an unusually long
growing season of 2O4 days, assllr-
ing earlier maturity of crops than
is the case in most other areas in
the northwest. This fact makes it
possible for growers to receive the
benefits of higher prices, due to ear
ly season marketing of such pro
duce as. asparagus, cherries, peach
es, apricots, nectarines, strawberries,
cantaloupes, and other early market
crops. Furthermore, this long
growing season makes the annual
production and maturity of many

precipitation is seven inches, most
of which comes in the winter, late

ton is entirely by irrigation.
River: The Columbia River is
one of the great assets Of the val
ley. 1t provides not only the iuiga-
tom water, but also tine power Tor
generating electricity used in pump
ing. The water in the river comes
from melted snow in the mountains,
is soft and clear, even during high

trict annually sells surplus power
amounting to approximately $500.
This income is used III the opera
EiOrls of tine district.
Other lands not in the irrigation
district are irrigated by pumping
either from wells, which have an
average depth of As feet, or direct
from the Columbia River. Either
pumping plan provides for a water
supply under the control of the in
divid,lal farmer. Electric power for
pumping, industrial and domestic
use Is available from lines Of the
Pacific Power &C., Light Company
Electricity for pumping costs from

properly maintained pumps, and
this range of cost depends upon the
depth of well, type Of soil, kind Of
crops, and efficiency of the indivi-
dual trrigator,
Acreage Needed: The history and
experience of settlers in the Valley
indicate that twenty acres of good
quality, properly farrned and irri-
gated, is sufficient to enable a farm
er to care for himself and family.
AS Is true in all irrigated districts,
some farmers in the Priest Rapids
Valley handle Larger acreages and
some less.
SOIL: The soil is a sandy loan
and volcanic ash, rich In minerals
The topography of the Valley in
sllres freedom from any drainage
problem. The soil is easily worked
with all kinds of suitable farm ma
cl1inery.
Fruits: Tree fruits, apples, pears,
cherries, prunes, nectarines and APP
ricots, yield well and produce excel
lent quality crops. Their early ma
turity makes them especially profit
