Walter N. Granger, manager of the
Washington Irrigation Company, was in
the city ON Wednesday. He says the
price of lands under the Sunnyside ca
nal will be advanced on the Goth of
January from $50 to $35 per acre. The
reduction of price from $55 was made to
attract settlers and has more than met
expectations, so that the company feels
warranted, in view of the extensive de-
velopments in the section covered by
the canal, to make small advance in
the price of its lands, while still main
tanning the easy payment system.

water and allow the water to come to
a boil. Then let the glassware remain
in the water until it becomes cold
again.

the foliage of the walnut tree. Even
after the foliage has been dried it is
said to be effectual in soaring away

New HandkerchSefs.

Small monograms, embroidered in
colored linen thread ornament the
corners of the new handkerchiefs. The
hemstitched border is quite narrow
and sometimes it is of pink, blue, lilac
or red to match the monogram. Col
ored handkerchiefs with white cor
ners, upon which colored flower, in
itial or butterfly or other small design
is embroidered in color. are odd and
fanciful. A white kerchief with a
spray OF maidenhair delicately EN-
brcidered in one corner is very dainty
and effective. AS the majority Of
women never adopt startling novelties
in pockethandkerchiefs any more than
they pen notes on brilliant purple or
bright red note paper, these fanciful
scraps of lawn and hemstitehing will
probably be given over to the school
girl. The plain white kerchiefs are as
daintily simple as usual, edged with
lace, hemstitched, and embroidered
with small patterns or with dainty
conyent-worked monogram.
