Missouri VS.. The Pal0use Country.

G. W. Reed, of Whelan, who has been
in Lincoln county, Missouri, visiting
friends for the past few weeks, returned
home last Friday evening. He was ac-
companied home by his brother, John
NJ. Reed, and Robert Tillotson, both of
Lincoln county, who will locate in the
Palouse country. Both of these gentle
men had found and commenced work on
Saturday morning, although they ar
rived but the night before. Mr.. Reed
says that crops IN the east are very
nearly a failure, and he comes back
better pleased than ever with this coun-
try. He has nYed here for thirteen
years, and has never seen a failure of
crops, last year being the nearest, when
his wheat averaged only twenty-five
bushels per acra a1nd in other years it
has yielded as - ffty-one bushels
per acre. A good many farmers would
come here to make a home if they could
dispose of the eastern farms to advan-
tage, but there is little sale for farm
property in the eastern states now.
There are others there who have made a
trip to the coast, and instead of coming
down to the Palouse country, from Spo-
kane Falls, they went right through and
did not see the agricultural district
which makes the state famous, and not
having seen it, when they return east
they report that the state is not what has
been claimed for it. Without doubt
the Palouse is the most fertile section of
the whole United States, and the farmers
are sure of good crop every year.

Synopsis of The Water-works System.

The system of water works adopted by
the council viii have no equal in the
state. The pump is to be a duplex,
steam pump, with a capacity of 10000
gallons per hour, and the boiler to be OF
twenty horse power. The reservoir will
be of 100000 gallons capacity, and will
be bricked and cemented and covered
with a shingled roof, and will be
located on Alder street, opposite
Mrs Harris residence, and at an eleva-
ton of $50 feet above Main street. The
mains will be of 121 wire gauge, and
will have patent lock joint. The one
from the reservoir to Main street will be
eight inches in diameter, and that on
Main and Grand streets will be six, and
the one on Olsen street four inchs.
Seven hydrants will be located as fol-
lows: At the corner Of Mckenzie and
Alder streets; corner of Main and Alder;
corner of Main and Grand; corner Of
Olsen and Alder; corner of Main and
Pine; corner of Paradise and Main, and
the corner of Paradise and Alder streets.
The hydrants shall be SO constructed
that the entire working part can be re-
moved by taking off the top, and will be
anti freezing. The pump house, to be
located at the corner of Alder and Olsen
streets, will be coaered with corrugated
iron. The specifications go into details
as to how the pipe shall be laid, and the
number of valves and cross Us, etc.
The water will be conveyed from the well
to the reservoir through the main, which
enables the pressure from the pump to
be put on the hose in case of need, thus
giving greater force than the pressure
from the reservoir, and when water is
needed at places where no stream could
be had from the reservoir the force from
the pump will furnish the supply, thus
giving fire protection to all parts of the
town irrespective of altitude.

How 1t All Happened.

AS sequel to the story told by ouI
Cotton correspondent, of an attempted
suicide last week, we print the following
from the Spokane Spokesman of last
Wednesday:
The Spokane man who was said to
have made an attempt to kill himself at
Cotton because his wife would not return
to him, dropped into The Spokesman Of
fee and told how it all happened. His
name is o. w. Read.
8 was busy working In Dakota he
said, when my wife left me. As dsd
not have much time, I did not pay much
attention to her. A while ago 1 thought
[ would find where she had gone, and
found her in Spokane. She was engaged
to marry young fellow here, but got
her back. We lived together ten days
when the fellow sent her SIS, and she
left me again. knew she had gone to
Cotton, and followed her l intended
to talk over our affairs, and come to an
understanding as to which fellow was to
have her. If me, wanted her to agree
to let the other fellow go. If she wanted
the other fellow would go away. She
w&uld not do either. 1 talked with her
the next morning, and still she wouldu'd
decide.
"Well," says I, I'm going down to
see that fellow and settle with him." I
started down the track to find him. He
was working in field. On the depot
platform my revolver fell out. In pick
ing it up, some way or another it was
discharged, the ball going in here and
out here-pointing to his side between
the eighth and ninth ribs. The wound
was not serious. as the ball did not enter
my side, but glanced along the ribs.
When my wife heard of it she said she
was sorry wasn't dead, as that would
end her difficulties. II want YOU to
print this" said the weI-consoIed hus-
band, as don't want any body to think
I tried to kill myself because my wife
left me. That story I am certain she
told to your reporter"

A Palouse Country Fruit Farm.

w. F. Hickman located on a piece Of
land near Snake river, fourteen miles
from Pullman, in 1872. He intended to
raise stock as it was not konwn, or be-
heved at that TINA that grain or fruit
could be successfully raised on the hills.
The small fats or valleys were thought
to be all that would grow crops, and the
rest was given up to the cattle. Mr..
Hickman believed in experimenting
however, and nine years ago set out five
acres of fruit trees. Anyone TO visit his
orchard now would see the wisdom of
his course. 1900 apple trees are this
year in bearing, the total crop from
which will be not less than 10000
pounds, which will readily sell at q
cents per pound. The proceeds from
this five acre orchard will at this rate be
about $3.50, the major portion of which
is profit. Besides his fruit Mr.. Hickman
LIDS ooo ACRES VI "n0aU WHICH Will y1eld
not less than 5000 bushels this season,
and this wheat is growing on the same
hill which were at one time condemned.
The one great wish of the farmers of
that grand section is railroad running
from Pullman to give them better mar
ket. The fine buildings on Mr.. Hick-
mans farm, and the homelike and pros
porous appearance shows that farming in
the Palouse valley is sure wey of max
