by, new devices and fresh capital are con-
stantly improving the irrigation facilities,
and Il will not be long before this great
Yakima valley will be shoulder to Shout
der with older sections and pushing to
the front. She will have great advan-
tage over some sections. There may be q
time coming when drouth will strike
those regions where there is sufficient
rainfall to do without irrigation. Then
will the Yakima valley be in the lead.
II has but to open the food gates and let
on the water and to close them when the
thirsty land has had sufficient. The
Yakima valley will not be at the mercy
Of the fitting clouds, for the sources Of
her water supply lie in the immense
glaciers Of the Cascade range, and the
hot summer suns only serve to increase
her supply when the land needs Il the
most. The farmers themselves, at very
small expense, provide their own irriga-
ton bitches in many instances, but there
are several irrigation enterprises Of
greater magnitude now in operation and
others contemplated and under way. All
the cereals and grasses grow luxuriantly.
Wheat, oats and barley are the principal
grains, and corn comes to full fruition,
yielding from 10 to so bushels to the acre.
Hops, tobacco and cotton give astonish-
ing results. Sorghum Il profitable, and
every variety Of vegetable is grown Of i'm
mense size and most luscious quality.
Fruits Of all kinds, except those strictly
tropical, here reach the greatest stage Of
perfection. Peaches, grapes, Watermel-
ons, plums, aPricOts, prunes. pears, cher
ries, muskmelons, all return the very
best Of yields. Grapes do well here With
out irrigation. Timothy is raised on the
valley bottoms without irrigation and is
one Of the most profitable crops. Where
irrigated, alfalfa grows like magic. On
one piece in the Mckee valley, for the
past two years seven crops each season
have been cut and stored. The soil is
both deep and rich, and this combined
with climate that de6es criticism, with
a long and uninterrupted growing season,
it is as difficult to exaggerate the future
possibilities Of this country under irriga-
ton, as it is to convey a complete idea Of
its beauty where it is already introduced.
Cattle, horses, sheep and hogs form 4
very important industry, as much Of the
country is devoted to grazing. A very
considerable portion Of Spokane Falls
supplies come from this section, and the
Yakima country draws largely from this
point for her wants

Bill.

Committee Issues an Ad-

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-Speaking in
the senate on the election bill, Mr.. Frye
said that the pending bill was not one
tenth part stringent enough-not one
tenth part drastic enough in its pro-
visions. If, in order to secure the right
of the American citizen 10 freely cast
his ballot. and have it counted as east,
it were necessary to puta bayOnet behind
every ballot, he would put bayonet
behind it. Mr.. Frye went on to read all
editorial from what he called "a good
Democratic paper''-''not good (he add
ed) in the sense that Il saint is good''-
the New York Times. commenting
upon Mr. Gray's argument against the
"house to house" provision in the bill,
and preferring to it the position taken
by Mr.. Edmunds in support of tina
provision.
Mr. Gray-I hope that the senator indorses
that editorial.
MI Frye-No, sir If I did. should re-
gard myself as prepared to be committed to
an insane asylum.
When Mr. Frye took his seat. Mr..
Blair called attention with triumphant
air to the audience (which We orators
have when we speak,"
Mr.Daniel commented upon Mr.. .Frye's
declaration as to aSS0ciating bayonet
with every ballot, and that suffrages
should he deposited at the muZzle of
guns. That (he said) was the senator's
(Mr. Frye'sl conception of a republlc-a
bayonet and ballot side by side. But
that was not the conception of repub-
lie which its founders had, and was not
the conception of a republic which the
American people had to-day.
Mr.. Frye-I said "if it were necessary to Sc
cure free ballot
Mr. Daniel-There is much virtue in an
'if." This bill has got a bayonet with evers
voter, if the supervisor of election chooses to
to put it there.

FINANCIAL SITUATION.
Proposition to Tax National Bank
Notes and GreenbackS.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE. house
committee on banking and currency
met this morning. and there was gen
eral discussion of the financial situa-
ton. There was considerable differ
ence of opinion manifested. Several
members thought that the great need
was a restoration of public confidence.
AMI, with this secured, financial affairs
would right themselves. Mr.. Walker
and one or two other members of the
committee were in favor of additional
legislation in the interest of the national
banks, and Mr.. Walker will draft bill
bill to meet his views of what should
be done to permanently better
the financial situation. The re-
suit of the discussion was the
adoption of a resolution to request the
house to set apart a day for considera-
tion and disposition of Chairman Dor
sey's bill to reduce to 1000 the mini
mum amount of United States bonds
which national banks shall be required
to keep on deposit, and to permit the
issue of circulating notes by national
banks to the full amount of the par
value of bonds deposited. This would,
it was said, increase the amount of
money in circulation almost immedi-
ately by s1s,ooo.oOO, and would result in
a freer issue of national bank noteSsby
making the loss OIL circulation iusig-
nificant or perhaps nothing at all.
When the bill comes up in the house.
Chairman Dorsey, in behalf of the
committee, will move an amendment to
provide for the issue of greenbackS
whenever the national bank circulation
falls below SlS5, 1000, 600. Mr.. Morrill,, of
Kansas, was authorized to report favor
ably bill to subject national bank and
United States treasury notes to state
taxation. In his report on this bill,
MIR. Morrill, said:
Your committee can see no good reason
why one form of currency should be exempt
from taxation, while another is liable TO be
taxed. Gold and silver are taxable, and GER
tifcates or treasury notes, redeemable in
gold and silver, ought to be placed on the
same basis.
Mr.. Dorsey, in speaking of the situa-
ton, said:
1.-The circulating medium of the coun-
try is too small. Nearly every one ad
mitS that. But we could get along as
we did before if confidence could be re-
stored, and we hope to do that and to
increase circulation somewhat by the
bill we will call up. The banks all have
more money In their vaults than they
ever had before. All the Western
members concur in that. Our little
banks have twice as much money in
their vaults as they formerly carried.
The big banks won't rediscount our
bills, and we have to protect ourselves.
Then a great deal of money has been
taken out of banks by people who have
become alarmed at the course of legiS-
lation and have locked their money in
safe deposits. A great deal of money
has been sent abroad to buy consols.
Only the other day man told me be
had put Sl.000,000, about all he had, in
English consols. OF course it is foolish,
but people are alarmed"

SPOTS OF BLOOD.
Regan Had Drunk a Good Deal
of Whisky.

Sergeant McFetridge and Police Off
Ger Powers, who were the first to arrive
at the house after the murder. coincide
exactly with the facts as related by the
murderer himself. The position of the
body when found. the general appear
ance of the premises and the
spots of blood on the floor, all
showed that Regan had, as he
states, followed his wife from the rear
of the house, shooting her again and
again as she fled. Sergeant McFetridge
remained in charge of the premises un-
til the arrival of the coroner. The
younger children of the family were
brought into the city last night, and
will remain temporarily with relatives
here. A large crowd was assembled
about the scene of the shooting last
evening.

his purpose regarding Attorney Phil
lips without speaking of the intention to
any one. AS it is, the attorney escaped
with his life by a narrow margin. Re-
gan is extremely illiterate. He can
neither read nor write, and the letters
he received from his wife while out
on the Pacific coast were read
to him by friend. After his arrest the
murderer appeared to be in highly
nervous condition, though the story he
related was told in perfectly collected
manner. Regan is of very slight stat
ure, being only about five feet four
inches in height. His face is of very
similar caste to that of Brooker. the
Pine county murderer, who was
hung some months ago. There
is the same restless, rolling
eve, the same long beard an1 general
expression. The man, as he appears in
Jail, is neatly dressed and has every ap-
pearance of harmlessness. Until late
last night he sat on the cell bench, his
hands hanging loosely by his side, and
his head bowed down upon his breast.
No expression of sorrow for the crime
has escaped him since the key was
turned in his rear.
