All the farmers are very busy getting
their bitches in readiness for irriga-
ton. A few have water on their
meadows and are setting tho bitches
on grain land.
Mr.. Snodgrass's alfalfa that was seed
ed last year is looking fine and pros
poets for heavy crop good. All grain
in this section is looking good. Mr..
Ringer is putting in ten acres of pota-
toes on Mr.. Walkers homestead. They
have in about POO acres of grain on Mr..
Vanderbilt's and Mrs. Walkers farms
Mr.. Winters father from the east is
visiting him. He expects other rela-
tives from the eust soon.
Pioneer Sunday School at No. II is
not receiving the hearty support which
it should, from the older people as well
as the children. The children who at
tend are very much interested and the
primary class needs a teacher who can
attend regularly. Mr.. and Mrs. Kres-
gy are faithful and efficient teachers
1t is not often that a bible-class in eth
er city or country is so fortunate as to
have so able teacher as Mr.. Kresgy
Mr.. PettibOne has been faithful in COM
ING out here once each month for over
two years. While the attendance has
been good, feel there are many who
do not appreciate what they are losing
by not attending.
Mrs. VIM. Huss purchased a new
sewing machine last week and passers
by say they can hear the hum of it from
earlp dawn till eve.
Poor old Billie Snodgrass died last
Monday morning. Old Billie has been
faithful servant on Mr.. Snodgrass' 8
farm for the past twenty years. We
hope Mr.. Snodgrass's loss is Billie's
gain.

ElIensburs Ball Team Wins.

In the baseball game last Sunday be-
tween the locals and the Yakima team
our boys clearly demonstrated their SUI
premacy at both fielding and batting.
From the beginning of the game it was
evident that the visitors could not win.
though they desperately fought to re-
tain the good showing they had made
thus far this season. 1t is now gener-
ally believed they have won their last
game for this year from Ellensburg.
The score of last Sundays game when
the end came was 3 to s for the home
team. Next Sunday they play a return
game with the hop pickers at Yakima
and will run a special train leaving at
10 Il. IN. Fare $3.50 for round trip.

The Law Of Death.

The fiat OF death is inexOrable
There is no appeal for relief from that
great law which doOms us to dust. We
flourish and fade as the leaves of the
forest; and the ilowres that bloom,
wither and fade in day have no Trailer
hold upon life than the highest mon
arch that ever shook the earth with
his footsteps. Generations of men will
appear and disappear as the grass, and
the multitude that throng the world
to-day will disappear as footsteps on the
shore. Men seldom think of the great
event of death until the shadow falls
across their own pathway, hiding from
their eye the faces Of loved ones, whose
living smile was the sunlight of their
life, and the thought of the tomb is the
skeleton of all feasts. We do not want
to go through the dark valley, although
its dark passage may lead to Paradise:
we do not want to go down into damp
graves, even with princes for bedfel-
lows. In the beautiful drama of "Ion"
the hope of immortality so eloquently
uttered by the death devoted Greek,
finds deep response in very thought
full soul. When about to yield his life a
sacrifice to fate, his Clemanthe asks if
they should meet again; to which he
responds: II have asked that dreadful
question of the hills that look eternal
- of the clear streams that flow for
evsr-of stars among those fields of
azure my raised spirits have walked in
glory. But as gaze upon thy living
face l feel there is something in love
that mantles through its beauty that
cannot wholly perish. We shall meet
again, Clemanthe'- GEORGE d. PREM
TICE.

The Black Irrigation Scheme Should Succeed

The past week has witnessed the
opening of the subscription forcon tracts
to tho right to the use of water from
the canal proposed for this valley by A.
II. Black. No movement at any time
in Kittitas county has more thoroughly
aroused and united the people in their
determination to succeed. Farmers
and businessmen alike unite to bring
about the results necessary to secure
the enterprise. The irrigation COM
mittee Of the Club has held number
of important meetings during the week
and their work is being we'll planned
and systsmized. The committee has
headquarters in the office of p. "A. Getz,
where the subscription terms are ready
for signatures. The earnest desire to
carry this project to a successful consul
nation is evidenced in the fact that
more than 5000 acres of land were SUBJ
scribed the first two days Of the week.
Volunteers to secure subscriptions
have entered the field and they are
calling upon the farmers at their homes
with most encouraging success The
time allowed for the completion of the
subscription of the necessary amount Of
land is short-only thirty days from
the first day of May-and it is of utmost
Importance that no time be lost now.
The committee hope that the farmers
may not delay for the canvassors to call
upon them to secure their subscriptions,
but that they may at their earliest OPP
portunity, come to the committee head
quarters to take the necessary steps in
the matter.

Many statements on the new canal
for Kittitas county are heard. One
prominent farmer remarked that he
can pay the annual charge for water
from the proposed new canal from the
results of his second crop and fall pas
ture alone and have bis first crop for
his labor and incidental expenses. He
said, How much such an enterprise
will contribute to the prosperity of the
valley cannot be imagined now"
unfortunately" said one man, the
name Of our fair county seems insepa-
rately associated with failures in irri-
CATION enterprises, and this must not
be allowed to cantinue, The PROPOSE
ton now before the people in this
definite form must be carried to a sue
cessful termination. Yakima is rs GER
tainly associated with successful enter
prises of this character, and that makes
large enterprises so much easier there.
Let us succeed now and rescue the
name os Kittitas from it's association
with irrigation failures. The effect of
that result alone will be a mighty up
lift to every industry in the county.
Nothing succeeds like success is a say
ing that applies right here"
