the development of an irrigation
and power system in this valley
thirty years ago, and j. K. Nc
Dowall, Seattle attorney and build
er of the Mcdowell Building in
that city, are representing the corr
poration in the transaction.
Their plans call for the large
scale production of forage crops
through the use of a sprinkler irri-
cation system. Water for irrigation
of this project would be furnished
both from the districts canal and
from additional pumping units to
be installed along the river.
Land included in the transaction
extends from Hartford to Wahluke,
the largest body of it lying in the
In-B-TWeen.
The transaction has not yet been
concluded, the deed to 5000 acres
of the land having been placed in
escrow by the district awaiting the
payment Of the first installment of
the purchase price by the corpora
ton, and an option ON the balance
of the land having been given the
corporation. The time limit within
which the deal is to be consuln-
mated is April %.
"The purchase and development
of land for farming is the Wisest
investment that can be made at
this time" Haynes and Mcdowell
said in discussing their project,
land the Priest Rapids valley is the
only section in the northwest where
such an investment can be made on
a large scale.
I'm all other districts, all avail
able land has been put into culti-
walton and. too, their supplies of
water are decreasing, with the cost
of water and water rights steadily
increasing, as we'll as other Incl
dental COSTS
costs of new development in
other parts of this country are
high with the result that the mi
tial cost of the land will be too
great to support large-scale opera
tons
Here in the Priest Rapids valley,
with an ever abundant supply Of
water from the Columbia river, and
an equally abundant supply of
power at Priest Rapids to put the
water on the land, lies the only
opportunity for development such
as we plan"
If the deal is consummated, the
corporation will improve at least
one half of the land by planting,
cultivating and irrigating some crop
within the first year, and will i'm
prove. the other half Within The
second year.
An order for is tractors has al
ready been placed VITA a Kenne-
wick firm by the corporation and
development of the land will begin
as soon as the deed has been trans
ferred. Arrangements have also
been made for the sprinkler irriga-
ton equipment, which will be con-
structed here, the steel for the pipe
to be shipped in in the form of
fiat plates, to be rolled and electric
ally welded in q plant to be set
up here.

to divorce them. I have said many times and I should like to repeat that the Christmas Seal was not meant to be money-raising idea alone. My first thought was that the Christmas Seal should be an educational medium for informing the public of the need for concerted action.
 To-day our year-round activities and educational campaigns make che public fully cognizant of the need to buy seals. In 1907, I said that liberal share of credit for a successful Seal Sale should rest upon the shoulders of the press. Today, I am still of the same opinion"

Seal Collection
 Displayed Now,
 RayesCurioShop

Stamp collectors and others in- terested may now see complete collection of Christmas Seals dating from 1907 in the window of the Hayes Curio Shop. To those who know the story of the Christmas I Seal these collectors items are sig nificaat
 The Seal used Tn Alaska's first 1 Seal Sale in 1884 commemorated l the establishment of the first Sana- torium for the tuberculous which was at Saranac Lake, New York. It bears the design of that tiny red cottage which was the forerunner of great movement to provide beds for those ill with tuberculosis throughout the United States.
 This is the 32nd Annual Christi mas Seal Sale in the States = the fifth in Alaska. The complete col lection of stamps on display are in- teresting to the collector and their story of good work done to fight tuberculosis is one of the most dramatic success stories in the an- nals of public health.
 They have helped to reduce tuber- culosis to seventh cause of death in the States. It is first cause of death in the Territory but Christmas Seal dollars will do their part to steadily change that condition.
 The stamp was first sold in Will mington, Delaware, and sponsored by Miss Emily Bissell, Chairman of the Red Cross Committee. The Red Cross only appears on every Christ mas Seal until 1919 which marks the time when the National Tuber- culosis Association definitely took over all responsibility for selling these stickers and using the money in their campaign to eradicate tu- ! berculosis.
 In recent statement Miss Bis sell, who is still living in Whining ! ten, Delaware, says The first stamps were out on December T., eighteen days before Christmas, but 1t was mistake in huStling Ameri- ca. It was too late, for America be- ] gins to Ny Christmas Seals in Mo- vember. The seed, however, germ mated under favorable conditions. What grew from it in the three weeks before Christmas last year was like Jack and his Beanstalk- sort of holiday fairy story"
 Today it is not necessary to sell Seals on promise along. The prom ise made by the little messenger of Health has been replaced with astounding results. Slicing off two- thirds of the tuberculosis mortality rate, the saving of hundreds of ] thousands of human lives, the erec- tion of sanatoria, preventoria, the maintenance of nursing service, the education of the public, the tuber- culin test and the X-ray are monu- ments to a promise made good We ilOW hliOW l1ldO UllC illONiclll WCdJOliS of warfare are available, if we but provide them.
 The Christmas Seal gives the public an opportunity to have a part in continuing and expanding the fight against one of the worlds most devastating enemies. T h e anti-tuberculosis program, it's needs and it's accomplishments are so closely related to the annual Christ mas Seal Sale that it is impossible

LIQUOR RETAILERS
FACING CLEANUP
A. B. c. Threatening Action
as Result Of Many
Violations.

A cleanup Of beverage dealers who
fail to comply fully with the District
liquor law and regulations is threat
ened by the Alcoholic Beverage Control
Board as a result of complaints that
numerous licensees were abusing their
privileges.
Charges have been presented to
the board that liquor dealers have
sold large quantities of beverages to
persons suspected of retailing LIQUOR
by the drink without licenses. Other
complaints are that some licensed
operators permit customers to stav
in their places long periods, drinking
to excess.
Won't Renew Licenses.
George w. Offutt, chairman of the
board, said the board would refuse
to renew licenses next February in
cases in which investigation produced
evidence supporting complaints. SO
far. one retailer has been charged with
selling liquor to a person suspected
OF engaging in retail bootleg" sales.
The half dozen or so members of the
Police Department.. regularly assigned
to aid the A. B. c. Board in its in
vestigations, will be asked to pay espe-
clal attention to such violations. Mr..
Of1utt said. Investigators also will be
asked to watch places in which the
proprietors permit customers ito stay
hour after hour, sopping up all the
beer they can hold" he added.
Bootlegger Still Active.
As to the other point, Mr.. Offutt
said: Unfortunately. the bootlegger
still is active in the District. He has
been able to persuade retailers to
sell him large quantities of packaged
goods which he in turn sells at bootleg
joints"
The board chairman also promised
that special attention would be given
to liquor dealers whose places are in
unfit" locations when the time comes
next winter to pass on requests for
renewals OF permits.

that he had decided not to press a
demand for an investigation of police
brutality" charges brought by Joseph
johnson, colored, burglar suspect.
Mr.. Lovett said his client had modi-
fled his first statement somewhat and
he did not feel justified in demanding
a full inquiry. Johnson, who has a
record of l3 convictions on house
breaking charges, police say, has con-
fessed to robbine the home of a physi-
clan on Sixteenth street NV.
johnson at first said he was kept
awake and not allowed to sit down for
48 hours at headquarters. He later
admitted, however, he was allowed
some rest. Detectives denied that
johnson was mistreated.
Mr.. Lovett said that detectives were
unjustified in keeping a prisoner at
headquarters for 48 hours. In view
OF the fact that johnson changed his
story. however" the attorney said. Il
will not press the matter further"
Capt. Ira Keck. acting chief of de-
tectlves, announced he had investi-
gated Johnsons charges, found them
unfounded and considered the case
closed.
