Do You Wish To Go West,
Young Man? Here's
Your Opportunity

person eligible for assistance up-
der the Bankhead-Jones Farm Ten
ant act to purchase land in the
U. S. reclamation project.
Much of the land in the II
western states has been in waste
for a number of years because
the lack of rainfall in that section
made farming impossible. Now un-
der the government reclamation
project, made possible by the De-
partment Of the Interior, this
land can be made suitable for
agriculture through the system of
irrigation.
Therefore, the homestead act,
approved last month, makes it
possible for interested and eligi-
BILE persons to secure government
loans through the Department of
Agriculture to purchase this new
ly irrigated farm land.
In making the loan, the govern
ment will take a mortgage lien
on the land with a contract that
the purchaser will meet first in
stallment for payment of such
loan within two years from date
of first advance under the loan.
The balance will be determined
by the secretary Of agriculture
and the secretary Of the interior,
to be within the owners ability
to pay onthe basis of the long
time earning capacity of the land.
This is an excellent opportuni-
ty for persons. who r now en-
gagged in tenant farming to make
an attempt to purchase and op-
crate their own farms. 1t also af-
fords veterans who are striving
to get a start in life, a chance to

Sound Truck
Law Favored

Councilman E. H. Holden came
home from California early this
week, dug up the records he had
compiled on sound trucks and
last night recommended to his
council colleagues that the VAN
couver ordinance be followed on
controlling the noise makers.
Holden told other council
members that in one City group
of religious campaigners had
overturned the ordinance on the
ground that preventing use of
the sound machines in public
was an infringement of the right
Of freedom of speech.
The Vancouver ordinance, rec.
commended by the Association of
Washington Cities, only controls.
1t does not prohibit their use, but
the restrictions are so severe
that the result is elimination.
The council was urged a few
weeks ago by the Chamber of
Commerce to take some steps for
strict control of sound trucks on
the gorunds that they were dis
turbing the peace, driving away
trade, and were nuiSances.

E.: ]. Brand, manager Of the

600 of the bonds are to be paid
off by the earnings Of the Prosser

they would be taken over by the
federal government.
EXPRESSES DOUBT
The test case would be on the
question of whether the Kenne-
wick irrigation district board has
authority to sell the water plant
to the city or whether a general
election is necessary. Brand
doubted that a general election
would be necessary.

Group To Talk Bridge
To Governor Iunglie

has the matter up for a federal
matching allotment.
At a meeting Of the Chamber
of Commerce last Thursday at
the Riviera Supper Club, speak.
ers were heard on three angles
of the bridge location subject.
Owens argued that to ask a
change in the plans Of the road
department might postpone con.
struction of the bridge indefinite.
ly. He said U. S. highway policies
are to route main highways
around densely populated CEN
tiers. Arthur w. Campbell said he
favored building a second span
alongside the present bridge
because it would cost only half
the amount needed for a new
bridge. Hoffmaster urged action
to get the federal funds first.
The chamber Thursday finally
voted an Endorsement of the
route laid out by the state high
way department, and Mayor
Keolker said the city council
would probably also bring In an
