5000 More Acres Reclaimed.

The Congdon- Gilbert ditch may be said
to be practically finished TO the point OF
huming, around the foothills at the gap
known as the painted rocks tSeptris Pa
tahanum, as the Indians called them, }
on the Natcheez. The ditch is about OF
the same size as that known as the Hub
bard, and is a splendid piece of engineer
ing work throughout. 1t is cut from the
solid earth over the bench lands of the
Wide Hollow, and is consequently very
strong and durable. 1t has heavy fall I;
but its side walls are not embankmeDts,
andjt could carry even more water than
it is now designed to do. When the
fumes at the Natcheez gap are completed
they will be somewhat on the picturesque
order; because they are to be carried
upon iron trestes reaching 100 feet into
The air, and follow the windings OF the
bluffs into the river channel. The ditch
will irrigate 5000 acres OF land as fine as
any IN Yakima county, and every acre is
Immediately tributary to this city. What
land is not covered by it will be irrigated
by the Burlingame hign line ditch. All
things considered, the Wide Hollow seems
about to become the fairest of Yakima

Will Not Contest.

A rumor to the effect that Mr.. II. II.
Allen contemplated contesting the cleo
ton of Mr.. Dilley to the Office of sheriff
was traced by HERALD reporter to Mr..
Allen; who puts the matter on different
footing by saying he had informed his
friends he would not contest for the
office. He stated, however, that differ
ent parties had implied their willingness
to make affidavit that fraudulent votes
were cast at the precincts Of Zillah and
Wide Hollow, and that some OF his friends
had advised him to take advantage OF the
evidence thus rendered and make post
election fight for the shrieyalty. But Mr..
Allen fails to see why such a step should
be taken. He thinks he has little cause
to complain in the matter OF votes cast
for him, and does not wish TO unearth
any skeleton from the graveyard of a
dead ambition. Mr.. Allen thus shows
some of his most commendable charac-
teristics. Feeling that he has been elect
ed, lie will yet not create disturbance
and establish bad precedent by contest
ing his opponents official seat
