in the state of Washington's first

their applicatione with the state de

the prospective benefits the limits of
that amount might soon be reached.
The experiment la to be made In
that portion of Benton county lying
within the White Bluffs-Hanford
reclamation project. The choice was
made after long consideration and a
Jively competition, with several other
sections of the state bidding for the
preference.
Many Options Obtained.
Since the decision was made the
department of conservation and de
velopment has gathered In all the
available state and school lands
Within the project and has secured
options from many private owners of
Vacant lands. Legal descriptions of
most of the land to be settled have
been published and the state is ready
to perform it share of the experiment
.s long as the appropriation holds
out.
The veteran who applies for a tract
Of this land must be married, and
his wife must signify her interest in
farming. The state is to be guarded
ea far as possible against any mis
chance of domestic discord. Specu
lation Is also guarded against in the
provision that no applicant may sell
Ms land for ten years. He has all of
that time in which to complete his
payments, or he may pay all but one
twentieth of the total at any time.
But the lawt twentieth will not be
accepted and full title pass until the
end of the ten-year period.
Jlirvoo to He Spent on Tract.
The land is to be fcold to the vet
erans In 20-acre tracts, and It is
estimated that $4500 will be spent by
the state to put each tract In proper
condition for farminsr and for living.
The land is to be sold at the rate of
$10 an acre, but the applicant for
each tract is required to pay $800
down, and is expected to have $400
or $500 more in hand for the living
costs of the first year. The $4500
total expenditure covers the cost of
the land, and the improvements fur
nished by the state from the start
will Include $1500 worth in buildings,
a well and pump, wood pipe and flume
for distributing the water, fencing
materials, and the cost of electric
power for pumping the- water and for
lighting purposes for two years.
The $800 deposit applies on both
land and Improvements. Tracts not
applied for'by veterans by March 10
will be sold to citizen applicants, as
it is the Intent of the law and the
purpose of the department of con
servation to make the experiment as
complete as possible.

All the conventions conceivable are
being scheduled for Portland during

crowds of tourists west. They will do
as I did when I came to the Lewis
and Clark exposition in Portland in
1505. I went to the fair and then

Issue Involves Delivery to Other
Than Dairymen's Association.
CHEHALIS, Wash.. Jan. 12. (Spe
cial.) After hearing the presentation
of the Injunction proceedings of the
Lewis Pacific Dairymen's association
against M. P. Frame, prominent Ceres
dairyman, to prevent him from mak
ing delivery of his milk supply to
other than complainant's factory.
Judge Hewen of Pacific county, pre
siding judge, continued the temporary
restraining order and took the case
under advisement. The dairy asso
ciation was represented by George
Abel of Montesano and H. E. Donohoe
of Chehalis, while G. L. Thicker of
Chehalis appeared for Mr. Frame.
In taking the case under advisement
Judge Hewen stated that there were
many points on either side that are
of much interest and import to all
parties 'to the controversy and inti
mated that it might be several days
before his decision is given.
The Pythian hall, adjoining the
Citizens' club, was filled with spec
tators, most of whom were dairymen.
Mr. Frame and others excuse their
desire to deliver their milk to other
buyers on the ground that the dairy
association has not kept its contract
with its members. The case most
likely will go to the state supreme
court, whichever way the local court
may decide the issues involved.
