He Fooled EN- Too.

There was very quiet wedding at the
residence of Mr.. and Mrs. E. J. Hum.
mer last Saturday evening. The con-
tracing parties were DIR. Herman Hoff.
man, of North Yakima, and Miss Bernice
w. Warner, OF Pontiac, Michigan. Rev.
J. H. Martin of the NJ. f. church tied
the nuptial knot. Both bride and
groom were strangers here. The bride
"a niece OF S. w. Bradford, who lives
two miles southeast of town-came to
Lind but two or three days before she
was married. DIR. Hoffman arrived from
Yakima on the p. m. train, the we'd
ding occurred at O'Clock and the newly
married couple took their departure for
North Yakima on the 30 train the
next morning. They didn't even give us
Lindites chance to get look at them,
to say nothing of getting acquainted.
But two people witnessed the ceremony.
They were Mrs. Hummer and Mr.. Brad
ford.-Lind Leader.

Building the p. v. and Y. Road.

The grading of the 15-mile extension
of the Portland, Vancouver & Yakima
Railroad which will extend the line to
Yacolt, 80 miles northeast of Vancouver,
is nearing completion. The steel rails
for the new line are expected to arrive
soon. They will be brought in over the
new Washington & Oregon N. P. line.
A new six-wheel mogul locomotive is
also expected to arrive from the east in
a few days. A spur is now being built
from the Washington & Oregon yards to
connect with the Portland, Vancouver
& Yakima line for the purpose Of trans
ferring the steel rails and locomotive.
This will carry the completion of the
road well on toward the Skamania
county line. The road is gradually
heading for Klickitat and thence on to
Yakima. The proposed route will un-
doubtedly run not far from the famous
Cedar Valley section, where there is
some of the finest timber in the state.
In fact the entire line will be through
a densely timbered section.-Goldendal
Agriculturalist.

Some Of Them Are.

The shippers of North Yakima are up
in arms against the railroad for enforc-
ing an old order requiring the payment
of - day demurrage on all cars held
more than "a hours for loading or un-
loading. The great shortage of cars on
the part of the railroad company is said
to have made the order necessary, but
the shippers claim that its enforcement
will work serious hardships, and they
have already taken joint action in the

Did not Get Water.

F. E. Deringhoff, who had charge of
drilling the artesian well at White
Bluffs on the Columbia, was in the city
last Wednesday and reported that he
had abandoned the we'll. A depth of
21O feet was reached without striking a
flow of water. At this depth the basalt
formation was struck and as it is from
1000 to 5000 feet in thickness it was
deemed advisable to quit, because water
struck in that formation would not flow
to the surface of the ground.

A Night Alarm +.

Worse than an alarm of fire by night
is the brassy cough of Group, which
sounds like the children's death knell
and it means death unless something is
done quickly. Foley's Honey and Tar
never fails to give instant relief and
quickly cures the worst forms of Group.

writes: "My three-year-old girl had a

IN YE GOOD OLD DAYS.
Powdered Wigs Formed an Important Al
junct to Gentleman's Apparel.

1t is safe to say that majority OF the
bald men of today would gladly revive
the old, dignified custom ii they could.
But they can do the next best thing to
it; that is, to revive the growth of the
hair nature gave them.
In cases where the hair root or hair
bulb has not been completely destroyed
by PARISHES that infest it, Newbro's
Herpicide will do wonders in the way of
stimulating the growth of lifeless and
falling hair. Destroy the cause, you re-
move the effect. That is the successful
mission OF Herpicide.

WHAT IRRIGATION MEANS.
A 10000 Acre Farm at Billings. Mont. and
Some Facts.

Some Facts.
The National Homemaker has the fol-
lowing interesting article on irrigation
in a recent issue:
A full understanding of the present
situation demands that some funda-
mental facts should be first clearly set
forth.
First. What is it that this national
irrigation movement is seeking to &C.
complish?
We find an object lesson at Billings,
Montana, which business men and
statesmen should study. The most apa-
thetic of them would be awakened by it
to realization of the gigantic national
Importance of this movement.
At Billings, 10000 acres OF absolutely
arid land has been brought under ditch.
1. D. O'Donnell, one of the leading citi-
zens of that place, furnished the fellow
ing remarkable figures and facts in an
address before the Trans-Mississippi
Commercial Congress at Cripple Creek,
last July:
81 can in no better way explain the
results of irrigation than reciting my
own experience in feeding and handling
stock, both on the irrigated farm and
the range. The particular part of the
Yellowstone valley to which will refer
is about an average of our great state.
1t consists of 10000 acres of land which,
before it was irrigated, only supported
the buffalo and the antelope. After
about eighteen years Of toll and the
usual experiences of pioneer life, we
have the following results to submit !:
Sixty thousand acres of land, $50 per
acre, 81 800, 900; 25O,OO0 sheep wintered
on farms, IS per head, $3.50, 900; 10000
head of cattle on farms, $50 per head,
$500. 600; 1000 head of horses on farms,
$50 per head 1920, 900; machinery tools,
etc., $l75, 900; main line canal, $3.50, 900 /;
total, 50, 1876, 900.
SIN addition, this same land produces
annually 100, 900 tons of alfalfa at a per
ton, $4O0, 900; 10000 tons of timothy
and blue joint at $40 per ton, 500, 900 |;
400, 900 bushels of grain at so cents per
bushel, $500, 900; vegetables and other
truck, CSC, 900; total, $3.50, 900 produced. I"

TO ENLARGE CANAL.

Washington Irrigation Company 10 Extend to
Prosser. =
The Washington Irrigation company
has decided to extend the Sunnyside
canal from the present terminus below
Sunnyside to Prosser, distance of IA
miles. This decision was reached by the
company last week after a months de-
liberation over the proposition, and it is
the result of the great demand for "raw"
land in that district.
This extension of the big ditch will
bring under cultivation 20 coo acres of
some of the finest land in the valley.
The present canal is Al miles long and
when the extension is completed the
total length will be S. miles. Stobie &
Matherson of Sunnyside have already
begun work on the extension and as
soon as possible large force of men will
be put on the work. 1t is the desire of
the company to have the work completed
within 80 days and sale Of the land will
begin at once. The company will open
a new office at Prosser and will keep a
representative there to show arrivals
over the country. The price per acre
under the extension will be from $50 to
$40, raise of from $40 to $50 per acre.
Practically all the land under the
present ditch has been sold and it is the
opinion of many people interested in
that field that the 10000 acres will be
sold before the 80 days are up, be-
cause of the great and growing de-
mand for land. When the improve
ments are all completed there will be
IS, 900 acres of land under the Sunny
side canal.
