Articles OF incorporation Of the North
Yakima Canal company have been filed
with the county and state auditors. The
object is to construct and maintain an ir.
rigsting canal from the Tietan or
Natcheez river to lands owned by the
stockholders in North Yakima and west
Of said city in townships IL, IS and IA,
range IL, and townships IL and 13 in
range Is. 1t Is proposed to water six
thousand acres and the stock is divided
into a corresponding number Of shares.
The trustees for the first six months are
Edward Whitson, W. B. Dudley, A. B.
Weed and j. M. Gilbert, of North Yaki-
ma, and Chester A. Congdon, of Duluth,
MINI. Major T. P. Wilson, who left for
New York some time ago to perfect east
ern arrangements for the construction of
the canal, is expected here in the near
future, but the interruption Of transporta-
ton, mail and telegraphic connection
have left his local associates In the dark
as to his movements, but they rather ex-
pect that he will be here on one of the
delayed trains, prepared to begin work at
once. Without hindrance of conditions,
which are now understood 10 exist, the
canal will be completed this fall and a
district directly tributary to North Yaki-
ma will be brought under cultivation and
be made as fair and productive a spot Is
any in natures gift.
