NILI lRRlgATE RATHDRUM PRAIRIE
Three Water Rights Filed and a Corps oil
Engineers at Wort thousands of
Acres will ne Reclaimed.

Three water rights have been filed
with the county recorder by w. Il.
Benhan, of Spokane, and a party Of
engineers are now In the field MAX
ing surveys.
The three rights embrace the
waters of Hayden, Fish and Sucker
lakes, and The water is To be used for
Iirrigating, mining, milling and do
nestle purposes. The real purpose
OF the promoters of the enterprise is
to lrrlgate certain lands on the Rath-
drum prairie. Although their names
| do not appear in the matter, it is a
well known fact that the Corbins are
backing the enterprise. The COM
pany proposes to construct bitches
from the above named lakes which
will carry the water TO the prairie.
The proposed ditch from Hayden
lake will lie fifteen miles IN length
and will have capacity Of 500 cubic
feet of water per second 1t is pro-
posed to irrigate with this ditch sec
lions 2, 3, 4, S aud 6, OF township 81
n, r. 3 w b. NJ, and sections 81, 80,
33, "a and IS of Township 80 n, r
w b. NJ, aud other lands in that vi
entity.
The ditch from Fish lake will be
twenty miles in length and will also
have capacity Of 500 cubic feet per
second. With this ditch sections 20,
Il, y, %, "a, %, 26, II, %, 20, 80,
81, 80, 80, 81, 35 and 86 Of township
81 N, II 4 w -. NJ will be irrigated.
The capacity of the proposed ditch
from Sucker lake is 200 cubic feet pei
second and will be len miles long.
This ditch will irrigate sections 20,
81, %, %, "a, %. 26, 81, %, 30 and
80 township 81 n R4 w B. M. The
promoters Of these enterprises claim
to have process by which irrigatnp
bitches can be made non-porous. IL
this is success thousands Of acres Of
arid land on the prairie will he made
productive.
A party Of nine surveyors are now
at work on the Fish Lake ditch anc
it is reported that the survey will bt
completed sometime next week. One
hundred and eighty-four head o
heavy draft horses we're driver
through here a short time ago anc
they are now in Spirit Valley. These
horses were brought from the Corbir
beet farm near Wayerly, Washington
and are TO be used in the construction
of the ditch 1t is estimated tina
the company will employ at leas
two hundred and fifty men within th
next ten days.

THE BONDED WAREHOUSE.
Cotton Brokers in New York In
terested in a New Southern
Movement.

New York, Sept 11-More
than mild interest is being msni-
tested in this city by cotton brok,
ers and commission merchants in
the revival of what has been called
the "sub~Treasury PLAN for
marketing cotton and similar
staple products. The plan con-
templates the establishment of
bonded warehouses to store cotton,
etc, at low rate of storage and
insurance, and to use the receipts
for such goods as collateral in any
part of the United States as Sc
curity for loan equal to 80 per
cent. of the market value of the
merchandise. The scheme is said
to have been inaugurated in Geor,
gia, and the promoters hope tc
extend it to other Southern States.

COTTON CONDITION.
With One Exception, the Poor

Texas Goes Down to 61 per Cent.
Falling Of 26 Points Since
August |.

Washington, Sept 1.-The
monthly report of the statistician
of the department of agriculture
shows the average condition of
cotton on September / to have
been 6S.5 as compared with $40
last month, 79.S on September I,
1898, 1873 at the corresponding
date IN 1897, and 7S.4 the mean
of the September averages for the
last ten years. The condition on
the first of the present month was,
with the exception of the year
1896, the 10 vest September con-
dition in 25 years.
There was general impair>
ment in condition during August
amounting to 6 points in ALBANIA,
8 In Mississippi and Tennessee,
10 i'll North Carolina and Geor-
gia, 12 in South Carolina and
Louisiana, 16 in Florida, 90 in
Oklahoma, "a in Arkansas, 26 IN
Texas and 40 in Indian Territory.
The serious decline in condition is
the result in the main of lone
continued drought. Where locaI
rains have fallen they have gen.
orally been so heavy as to still
further aggravate the situation.
The averages of the different
States on September l were 81
