Warm Artesian Water.

The discovery of hot artesian
water at the Blalock Fruit Farm
promises to be as good as go d
niue to the Walla Walla Valley.
1t means an almost unlimited range
o. pc ssibilities not only IN irriga-
cation projects, but in addit onal
development Tor various uses in
the city. True the temperature of
the water so lar found is merely
temperate but it is possible at a
greater depth it will be really hot.
But aside from the mere fact OF
temperature the discovery of arte-
sian water is of great Importance.
1t will at least ave a tendency to
stimula interest in artesian wells
in the Walla Walla Valley and no
doubt good Ieturus will be received
from such investments.
1t has been pointed out by many
nen that the character of this
valley indicated artesau wa. er at
no great depth, and it is only
strange that more experiments
have not been made in the past.
A good flow Of artesian water on
any of this land will greatly en-
nance its value and its productive
possibilities. 1t is to be hoped the
Blalock Fruit Company will prose-
cute its Investigations further, and
it would be most excellent invest
ment for some additional money to
be put up for similar ,terprise

Roosevelt on Expansion

One of the most important
speeches President Roosevelt made
on, his trip was In San Fra cisco
where his subj ct was Expansion
aud Trade Developments and Pro-
lection of the Counry's Newly
Acquired Pos essions in the Paci-
fc." His speech was Of particular
interest to citizens of the Pacific
states and aroused great enthu-
siasm. The people of the Pacific
coast states are in hearty accord
with the Presidents expansion
policy. He said in part:
Before I saw the Pacific slope /
was an expansionist, and after
having seen it I fail to understand
how any man, confident of his
country's greatness and glad that
his country should challenge with
proud confidence our mighty future
can be anything but in expan-
sionist. Iu the century this is
opening the commerce and the pro
gress of the Pacific will be factors
Of incalculable moment In the his
tory OF the world.
Nov In our day the greatest OF
all the oceans, of all the seas, and
the last to be used on large scale
by civilized man. bids fair to be-
come in its turn the first In point f
importance.
"Our mighty republic has stretch
ed across the Pacific, and now in
California, Ore on and Washing
ton, In Alaska aud in Hawaii, and
In the Philippines, holds an extent
of coast line viii h makes il of
necessity power OF the first class
on the Pacific. The extension In
the area OF our domain has been
immense, the extension In the area
OF our influence even greater.
Americas geographical position on
the Pacific is such as to insure our
peaceful domination Of its waters
the future If only we grasp with
sufficient resolution the advantages
Of this position. We are taking
long strides in this direction; Wit
ness the cables we are laying down
and the great steamship lines we
are starting steamship lines some
Of whose vessels are larger than
any freight carriers the world has
yel seen. We have taken the first
step toward digging an isthmian
canal, 10 be under our own control
a canal which will make our Allan
tic and Pacific coast lines to all
intents and purposes continuous,
and will add immensely alike to
our commercial and our military
and naval strength.
