PROCEEDINGS TO Be
INSTITUTED IN TEST CASE
Questions Involved Relate to a Main
tenance Fee of 81 per Acre
BY irrigation Company.

A reporter of THE HERALD, learning
that some legal proceedings OF great in
terest to many of the people OF this
county were about to be taken through
the law office of Henry J. Snively, called
upon that gentleman Monday and had
the following interview with him:
Reporter Mr.. Snively, we learn that
proceedings of great Importance are
about to be taken by you as attorney for
interested parties, in relation to the con-
struction of the water contracts, issued
by the various irrigation companies in
this county is this true, and if so. will
you give The HERALD full statement of
the questions involved?
Mr.. Snively Yes, am about to in
stitute some proceedings in behalf Of
parties under the Sunnyside canal, one
of whom is HUI h Gray and also in be-
half OF a large number of people under
the Selah valley canal to test several
questions OF construction involved in
these contracts. The first of these ques-
tions is this:
The irrigation companies, without ex-
ception, provide in their contracts for
the payment of one dollar per acre per
year on the land they serve, whether it
is cultivated or not during that year, for
what thev call a maintenance fund,
which fund is established for the pur-
pose of maintaining the ditch. This
fund is paid to the irrigation company
by the settlers, and the irrigation com
pany is supposed to use it in maintain
ing the ditch. In truth and in fact,
however, but a very small part OF it is
ever used in this way, particularly in
the larger ditcher; thus, under the Sun
INSIDE canal when it is completed,
there will be 80 600 acres OF land served
by it, and consequently, $50, 900 a year
will be paid by the settlers for the pur-
pose of maintaining the ditch. Mr..
Rockwell, the original engineer of the
ditch, estimated that it would cost only
about $1,000 year TO maintain il after
its construction was completed. Thus
there is an excess OF s45, 900 per year tC
be paid by the settlers to the irrigation
company, over the requirements Of
maintenance, which sum will 20 into
the Golfers of the irrigation company
according to their contentious, to be di
vided as profits. The injustice OF thi,
will be seen at once when we remember
that they have sold full water rights al
prices fixed by themselves, to these
settlers
al now state this to be a proposition
Of law; that this maintenance fund Is q
trust fund contributed by the settlers tC
maintain the ditch, and tor no Other
purpose that under the law, the irriga-
ton company must keep an account o.
the money they expend in maintaining
the ditch, and If the whole maintenance

GRAY'S HARB0R MILLS
INCREASE The PRICES
Direct Effect on San Francisco and
Honolulu Markets Ranges from
" 10 $4 Per Thousand
on All Grades.

Tacoma, Wash, April 2l.--Six large
lumber mills on Gray's Harbor decid
&c Saturday to make a radical ad
vance in the price of all kinds of lum
Der. The advance affects local bust
ness on Gray's Harbor, together with
the markets of San Francisco and the
Hawaiian Islands, to which a large
proportion of the output of the Gray'S
Harbor mills is shipped. The increase
in prices ranges from 81 per thou
sand on rough grades to 81 on finish
ed and dressed stock.
Owners of mills say they have beer
selling lumber on Gray's Harbor
cheaper than at San Francisco and
Southern California ports. Another
reason is the fact that Gray's Harbol
loggers have been gradually advanc
ing prices for several months. Very
soon logs are likely to be lower. how
ever, on account of decision of the
Weyerhauser Timber Company to i'm
mediately cut 150000,000 feet of logs
along Wishkah river, where worms
hfve destroyed the timber.
The combination of mills to raise
prices includes the West and Slade
Mill Company, Wilson Brothers G. Co.
the American Mill Company, Ander.
son & Middleton Mill Company. tho
Aberdeen Lumber Company, and Bry-
den & LeitCh.

THE fire was discovered ut 4:05

the entire boat was in flames, and at
4:30 the whole boat was wreck The
front stairways burned, cutting OF any
avenue of escape. We alarmed the
sleeping passengers. bursting open tie
doors to awaken them. They ran out
without putting on life preservers and
crowded aft. The officers held them
back, while the one yawl was loaded
with women and children. The scene
was awful. About twenty or thirty
were taken out In the only llfeboat,

rescued. The water was very cold. and
the passengers were in their night

reached shore we were unable to walk

fear, even after we were safe ashore"
The first news OF the disaster was
sent out from olmstead, the nearest
telegraph station. The clerk went
three miles down stream 10 Caledonia

Hanna Says Rathbone
Has Been Prosecuted

New York, April 21.-A special to
the Sun from Washington says: Hanna
says he will demonstrate to the world
that Rathbone Is an innocent man. The
Senator declares he will be able to 40
this, and produce written proof that
he Is the victim of General Woods
persecution, due to jealousy and mali
cious gossip. Hanna asserts that the
Governor General was instructed in adj
vance to convict Rathbone, and that
he has documentary evidence of the
facts. He declares, moreover, that con-
viction was secured principally upon
the testimony of Reeves, who was u
perjured witness, who hopes to be
pardoned for his treachery.
Hanna has received a copy of the
bill of exceptions filed by Rathbone's
lawyer in the trial that ended in Rath-
bones conviction, and this he will
make public in due time to show what
a mockery Of justice the trial was.
Hanna maintains that Rathbone is an
honest man II one ever lived, and in
sists that he will leave no stone I'M
turned to prove him innocent OF any
willful wrong-doing in Havana.

himself that few could get the best of
a bargain with him. He owned nice

of couple of years the barn buiped

brick building at a cost OF about Slu0
and thus save $500. they did so.
Hans thought he was being cheated.

These are rank Republican lies,

oorats Of Logan county in false
light why don't these Republican
papers mention the names of these

county Democrat ever made such a
statement. The Democrats of Logan

Of Guthrie stated that the Democrats

because he was a resident of Oklaho-

Democrats from principle. They be-
lieve in honest government and puri-

ROCK ISLANDS GREAT PLANS.
Extensions Planned to Cover All
United States Territory.

Chicago, H., June 9.-Stockholders
of the Rock island railroad at their
annual meeting gave further evidence,
by the action taken, that they pro
pose to make their line the greatest
traffic system of the continent.
In addition to the decision to in
creaae the capital stock OF the cor
poratlon from S6O,OOO,OOO to S75.sOO.-
600, there were adopted amendments
to the articles of consolidation giving
the road unlimited power to purchase,
build, lease or otherwise acquire
other lines of railway and fixing the
limit OF the Indebtedness to which the
company may subject itself at $780,
600 900. exclusive of the bonds issued
for the acquisition of additional prop
erty.
It is generally supposed by the
action taken that plans have already
been virtually adopted for the en-
largement of the system in number
of directions.
Undoubtedly many extensions will
be built in Texas, Oklahoma and In
6ian territory. and it is surmised that
the time is not far distant when the
