State Highway Commissioner W.
B. Rarratt returned from Portland
Sunday pT-eninT bringing with Mm
confirmation of the best h'ghwpy
news this county has had in n:an :
month.
Bids will he a pi; eft -;ir at a meet
ing of the commisiosn April 22, for
macadam on the second unit of rie
grade already completed from the
Gilliam county line to the Heyuer
ranch, and a the regular Slay mt et
ing bids will he called for grading
from the Boomer ranch to Heprner, ;
and from Hepnner eas t to Jones
hill on the Pilot Ro'k mod. This
means that SIoiow county's section ;
of the highway is now all provided
for with the exception of a stretch
between Jones Hill and the rmafil-l
la county line, and at a cost to the
county of the original estimates j
and contract price.
Mr. Barrat does not take any par- j
ticular credit to himself for this at-
tion on the part of the highway com
mission, which is not only an act of ;
simple justice to this county but also
is in keeping with the commission's
policy of completing, as nearly as
possible, the original important,
highways which were placed on the
map.
The recent trip over this road by
Mr. Barratt and Mr. Booth, the
' former savs, settled the matter of
the completion of this section of the
highway. Mr. Booth, who ts a. fair
minded business man, saw that
something of a harus.-np had hi en
worked on this county through bnd

ORDER REFUND OX LAM
SOi.I) IX OLD grant
WASH1XGTON, April 7. repre
sentative Sinnot has bcrr. noMfied by
the commissioner of the general land
office that a refund of $1.25 per
acre will be made to purchasers who
paid $2.50 per acre for land in even
numbered sections, as well as in odd
numbered sections, involved in the
primary limits of the general route
of the Northern Pacific railroad
from Wallula Junction, Wellington,
to Portland, Oregon, forfeited by act
of congress in ISi'O. Two dollars
and fifty cents per acre was charged
instead of the regular price of $1.25
on the theory that the building of
the railroad would enhance the val
ue of the land.
The road was not built and tne
supreme' court of the United Slates
in I'Jl!). decided that a refund
should be made to purchasers of
land in odd sections. The commis
sioner ruled that this decision of the
supreme court did not cover the ever,
sections, but the secret a. y or !he lu
terioi has recently held thai the re
fund should likewise apply to tne
even sections as well as to the odd.
The lands involved are embraced
in a strip forty miles wide on each
side of the proposed line of Uie
Northern Pacific along the Columbia
river from Wallula Junction, Wasti
ington, to Portland, Oregon, which
was forfeited on account of the fail
ure of the railroad company to con
struct the road.
Applications will have until Dec
ember 11, 1921, to file applications
for repayment and may otitain appli
cation blanks by

TO BEOIX AT OXCE
Report of OoiimiiUee of 17, Result
of Six 'Months' Di-liliei-ation,
Coiiiprehtlnsive One
CHICAGO. Representatives of
the farmers in convention tonight
voted unanimously to accept the re
port of the committee of 17, which
provided formation, of a co-operative
agency to market the nation's
grain.
The report was adopted after a
two day fight in which delegates
sought to have it amended so that
pooling of grain by th farmers
would be compulsory Instead of op
tional, as provided In the report.
An amendment to that effect wa8
defeated tonight, 61 to 38. Another
amendment offered by Carl Williams
of Oklahoma that the pooling be
made compulsory in states where
wheat is the predominant grain, also
was defeated, and the convention
then unanimously adopted the com
mittee's report.
Under the plan, a non-profit stoefk
corporation will be formed through
which the grain will be handled from
the time it i raised until it reaches
the manufacturer or consumer. Loc
al agencies will be formed through
out the country, and elevators, ter
minal warehouse corporations, port
corporations, service departments
and other subsidiary departments
will be a part of the plan.
Each member of the corporation
will pay a fee of $10, which will be
used for expenses. Surplus over ex
penses will be returned to the mem
bers.
The organization will be governed
i by a board of directors
elected by
1 the grain growers
The committee of 17 has been
at work for six months on the plan.
It has held hearings in all the grain
Btates, called scores of persona to
discuss the plan, and sifted dozens
of proposals
Organization of the corporation
will be begun Immediately and it is
hoped to have it working in time
to handle part of the 1921 crop.
The fight over compulsory pooling
of farmers' grain, which began yes
terday on presentation of the com
mitters report, broke out immediate
ly today on reconvening of the rati
fication conference.

Mr. Taylor is foreman at the camp

The big crusher is set no at the

by a sleel scoop shaped bucket
which is operated on the same prin
cipal as the big logs are dragged In
to the loading stations in a modern

out from a dm in operated by a Ford

drags it back, the hitch being nuide

i ho

The demurrer was interposed on
two poind-.: First, (hat, the defeiKT.
. ants are mimed in their individual
; e. luciiy raiher than by their official
itiile: and Second: thai the notice
does not state facts sufficient to
j constitute a basis of contest. llt
'garding the first point. Ihe court
holds that the allegations in the con
j test are sufficient and on the sec
i ond point, after pointing out (hat.
the basic idea of constitutions and
laws is to the effect that no quali
fied voter shall be denied the privi
lege of casting his vote for whomso
ever he pleases, and of having hiM
vote counted, and discussing other
constitutional questions Involved,
continues:
"While it is not necessary to a de
cision of this matter that the consti
tutional questions be considered, it
would seem that a holding to the ef
fect that only those persons placed
in nomination thiough the provi
sions of the law, could be voted for,
would be to hold the act itwelf to be
unconstitutional, as denying the
right of the elector to vote for whom
he pleases. The qualification of the
parties for whom the votes nro
claimed to have been, cast Is not in
issue.
"Rut, in my opinion, the net which,
provides for the election of direct
ors of an irrigation district,- is in
itself sufficient to negative any con
stitutional questions, because evt-
idenlly the legislature sought tn
I avoid, and ditl avoid such question
by providing for the 'wriling in' of

"This last provision Is merely n
recognition W the consl it ul li'mal
('lghls and privileges above men
tioned. And at any rate it is a part
ot tius law, and It must be apparent
to any sinterested person that tho
blank line on the ballot was re
quired so that It. might be used by
Ihe elector in designating his choice
of candidates, and voting for such
person of IiIh choice.
"Candidates for the office of di
rector may without great trouble or
difficulty, procure a nomination, anil
thus have the decided advantage ov
er any other candidate who ! not
thus nominated. For In the one caso
the name of Ihe candidate Is printed

name Is not printed. Rut because a
candidate has the privilege of nomi
nation,, It does not mean that, before)
a candidate may bo voted for ho

In this connection I think Ihe word
may cannot be construed to bo must.
The candidate may he nominated,
but It cannot be said that he must
be nominated before he may receive
the votes of the qualified electors
and have such voles counted.
