TO DEVELOP COUNTRY IN
LOWER YAKIMA COUNTY
A Vast Scheme Involving Expenditure
of Fully S3,000,000 About
to be Launched.

About four weeks ago Civil Engineer
III. X. Owens, a former resident of this
city, but now OF Seattle, visited North
Yakima to confer with some of the
heavy citizens here about a project which
the following lines will exploit
At the time OF Mr.. Owens visit he was
not at liberty to say anything with ref
erence to the vast scheme, at least for
publication. He told a reporter for THE
HERALD, however, the object of his visit
here, stating that the Northern Pacific
Railway was back of the proposition and
that he was on his way then to Prosser
and Mabton with the object in view of
looking over the country from an engi-
neering standpoint, and upon his report
would hinge the commencement or re-
linqushment OF the project.
From the article appearing in the Sc
attic Times of Monday it would seem that
Mr.. Ovens ideas in regard to the matter
are considered very possible and the en-
tire scheme has been given publicity.
The fact that the Northern Pacific Rail-
way company is behind the project, has
for some reason been suppressed, but
this is an item of news we'll worthy the
widest circulation and will add double
prominence to the scheme.
Rumors have been ahoat since the
Washington Irrigation companvs effort
to pass the irrigation bill in the last leg
islature, that the n. p. Ry. Co. would
eXpend vast sums OF money on storage
reservoirs at the headwaters of the Yak
ina. While these rumors have never
been verified, 1t is safe to assume that
such is the case in view of the premises
in the following instance.
"Under the name OF The Pasco Irri-
rigation and Land Company, number
of local capitalists have been quietly
working on an irrigation scheme for the
past three months, that will mean the
expenditure of some three million dol
lars and withal will probably be the
largest and most extensive system of ir-
rigation ever attempted in the great
Northwest.
When the fact il mentioned that Mr.
James A. Moore, Of this city, is father OF
the deal, then the public may readily
understand what i: all means. With him
NJ. Moore has associated some OF the
best men OF he country. Mr.. II. X.

High Water.

The warm weather the past week has
caused the river to raise to an alarming
heighth. Much anxiety is felt for the
bridges along the Yakima, and rumors
have been afloat to the effect that sew
eral had been washed out. However,
Chairman Lince, of the board of county
commissioners, states that to his knowl-
edge but one bridge has been damaged,
the one across the Yakima near Zillah,
and that to small extent only, one
span of the approach being washed out.
1t will be repaired as soon as it is pos
sible to get material there for the pur-
pose.

LONG EISTING

1t is getting harder and harder to live
without dying in this world, but many
are willing to work hard in order to
live. Wellington Putnam, formerly in
structor in eloeution at Columbia Uni
versity, is one of them. Mr.. Putnam
had something the matter with his kid
neys, and he got a notion that fast Of
forty days would set him right. So he
went to the ella Hot Springs in New
Mexico, and Immediately upon his ar
rival at his destination the long fast
was begun. For the first thirty days he
lived in tent and spent all his time in
the open air. To take his mind away
from the contemplation of food and eat
ing he studied continuously and wrote
ia technical book on elocution, which
had been thought out previously. The
work, according to its author, was writ
ten on an empty stomach" The fast
ing test, Mr.. Putnam believes. was an
entire success. He believes that he has
been entirely cured of his malady.
+ We do not recommend this cure for
general use, but there are many who
could afford to fast oftener than they
do. BY fasting blow could be dealt at
some of the trusts as well as at disease.
Much eating at high prices is good for
81 = @
those who sell the food, but not for
those who eat it

To the Editor Of the Journal and Courier:
Referring to the communication in
the Journal and Courier Of the 18th by
]. F. Douglass. permit me to thank the
gentleman, and commend him for hav-
ing the courage Of his convictions.
1t is SO rare to find one to take his
side of this great question that I feel
impelled to request him to continue the
discussion of it, for am strongly con-
WINGED that only good can accrue if
only the discussion is confined to the
point at issue.
In furtherance of this I therefore
challenge Mr. Douglass to debate the
following question:
Resolved, That Municipal Ownership
of Monopolies is not only expedient but
just and equitable.
l shall be pleased to meet Mr.. Doug
lass at his convenience and make the
necessary arrangements.

Il PARDONER.

Kentucky has a governor who has
become celebrated as a. pardoner. One
of the chief issues on which Republi-
cans are fighting the Democrats in
Kentucky this year is the wholesale
manner in which Governor Beckham
has dealt ont pardons to criminals.
While the governor has attempted to
evade the attack by declaring that few
were released on pardons his oppo-
nents have shown that parole sys-
tenn exists, under which nearly two
hundred have been let out of Jail. OF
these fifty We're confined for murder
and eighty-four for manslaughter. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Beckham's own state
ment, which overlooked the number Of
paroles, there were over two hundred
persons freed in addition to this list
within his term of three years.
Evidently Governor Beckham has
strained the quality of mercy. He may
have gained some friends by his par
doning. but he has also lost some.

AREFoRM RI ar DO sN n II EF0RM

There is singular situation in
Pennsylvania. The law passed by the
Pennsylvania legislature appropriating
$6,500,0O0 for the Improvement of the
highways of the state is bearing but
little fruit, and those who expected
much of it are greatly disappointed at
the outcome. The law provides that
the state shall pay two-thirds of the
cost of road when a county or town
ship shall ask for it and agree to con-
tribute the other third of the cost. The
counties and townships are not making
acquisitions upon the fund for two rea-
sons. One is that they are unwilling to
pay even one-third of the cost, which
amounts to from $1,000 to $4,000 per
mile. The other trouble is the difficulty
which the local authorities encounter in
selecting road for improvement. The
residentssof the greater part Of a coun-
ty may reside so far from particular
road that they are unwilling to be taxed
for its improvement when they are to
get no apparent benefit from it.
Pennsylvania ought to straighten out
this matter, and take her proper place
in the good roads procession. She
shouldn't be behind her neighbor New
Jersey. %~ .-*

throne, but for reason less disastrous
than the battle of Sedan. France would
have been Inundated and stricken as
was Spain in 1898. but the United
States would not have demanded of her
an indemnity of five rnillards; it would
in the name of the Monroe Doctrine have
taken possession of Martinique, Guada-
lou3e and Guayana, but it would not
have exacted Alsace and part of Lor-
raine.
If all this had happened II. Hans
argues that the whipping thus given
France in the western hemisphere
would have changed the entire suisse
quent course Of French history by max
ing the French realise in time the weak
ness of their military arm. Realizing
this. he thinks they would have inn
mediately reorganized their army and
Cited it better for the war with Ger
many, which was even then impending;
and that if this had not been sufficient
TO deter Germany from invasion it
would at least have put the two coun-
tries on more nearly equal terms, with
the chances in favor Of French victory.
