A young man of Hood River called
at Senator McNary’s office last week
on his way home from the Red sea.
He said sailors of the American mer

he has been delivering war supplies
to the British. He said his shipmates
had witnessed four different air raids
while on the Red sea voyage but
no bombs fell near their vessel.

tors. The federal government has
done everything possible to prevent
the practices complained of and
maintains a free information bureau
from which prospective settlers may
obtain all desired information about
the land, its classificstion, prices, and
when water will be delivered; yet
notwithstanding this service, there
are victims.
One woman writes that she made
a contract for land in the Grand
Coulee district and now discovers
that it will be 15 years before water
will be delivered to it, by which time
her husband will be g5 years old.
The salesman, she says, assured her
the acreage would be a nice place to
retire to and enjoy life. Since the
acreage is practically worthless with
out irrigation, the possibility of “en
joyment” may be questioned. Ac
cording to the woman’s letter she also
paid too much for the land.

stresses the need, of ntujre milk and
