east. Natural conditions are very ia
vorable for this.
Owing to the long succession of rap
ids in the Colville river, the canal
obtains an elevation of about 125 feet
above the river level, in a distance
of one and one-half miles, at which
point the company plans the erection
of a power house.
Here the surplus water will be used
to operate an electric plant for manu-
featuring and other purposes.
From this point it is planned to
carry the water along the valley south
ward and distribute it to the adjacent
land by means of laterals and small
fumes.
At the initial point the canal will
be approximately ten feet wide on the
bottom and twenty feet wide at the
top, and will be so constructed that it
will carry water five feet deep with
a fall varying from fourteen to twenty
four inches to the mile, and will irri-
gate about sixteen thousand acres of
land.
The promoters of the enterprise
have not lost sight of the fact that in
order to make the best of the scheme,
something more than irrigation is nee
essary, for no matter how productive
a district may be, without proper ia
cilities for marketing produce the
farmer would realize but poor returns
from crops, and in order to provide
the new irrigation district with proper
transportation, the company plans the
construction of large river boat, to
ply on the river between Spokane

Washington is to have a new irri-
gated district. For years the great
productiveness of our irrigated valleys,
their surprising beauty when COM
pared with the surrounding desolate
waste of sage brush, and the absolute
certainty of their enormous yield, have
been a source of pride to our own resi-
dents, and a wonder to the many Wis
itors.
Under these circumstances we hail
with great satisfaction any move that
will increase the already extensive
area of irrigated land
The new irrigated district lies on
the eastern slope of the Columbia
river in Stevens county. 1t extends
southwark from the town of Kettle
Falls for a distance of about twenty
miles.
For the last fifteen years this valley
has been recognized as one of the
most beautiful in Eastern Washington,
and it's fertility has long been proven
beyond question.
The fertile soil has been deposited
by the waters of the Columbia river,
and is partly clay loan and partly
volcanic ash, mixed with light gravel

Rapids, at the mouth of the Spokane
river and Grand Rapids, three miles
below the town of Kettle Falls.
Grand Rapids are impossible, and
until removed by the government, will
stop navigation by boat, further up the
Columbia river in Washington.
However, this is not to be an OBJ
stacle to the new enterprise, for the
promoters contemplate the construc-
ton of an electric line about three
miles in length, from the town of Ket-
tie Falls, to Grand Rapids thus con-
Meeting the town with boat service
The rum which will be covered by
the company boat and car line, ex
tends a distance of siXty-twO miles,
and above the valley that is to be ir-
rigated are extensive table lands
which produce fine grain crops without
irrigation
Now that proper transportation ia
cilities are to be given the residents
without doubt the entire district will
be given new life, and it promises to
the state during the next year.
Opposite the tract of land which the
company proposes to irrigate lies the
south half of the Colville Indian res
ervation, which is still withheld from
occupancy by settlers.
No doubt in the near future the
United States government will require
the few Indians living there to make
selection of land for their own use,
and will then throw the remaining por-
ton open to settlement.
This entire district, like so many
other districts of Washington, pos
sesses many natural advantages that
will cause it's rapid settlement.
The climate is splendid. The soil
is rich and fertile, and taking every
thing into consideration, is we'll adapt
ed to fruit culture, and although To-
Gated we'll toward the northern part
of the state, the winters are so mild
that peaches and grapes are raised
with great success.
We are glad that the men behind
the enterprise have given the matter
their favorable consideration, and we
wish them the greatest success in their
undertakings. Work has already COM
menced and the completion of the ca
nal is promised within twelve months.

esting, but the plans of the company
that is now operating in this district
are of unusual interest and are at
tracing widespread attention.
First of all, before this valley will
be of value to the settlers it must be
watered during the months of July
and August, and this is to be accom-
p1ished by the construction of a canal
that will take portion of the water
and carry it southwark along the
mountains that skirt the valley on the

Thomson, Ca, Nov. 10.-Thonlas E.
Watson, candidate tor vice president in
1896, some time leader of the populist
party and author of The Story of
France" and .Napoleon," has for the
past two days been at h head of an
armed faction representing h ultra
prohibitionists of the town, which for
a time threatened to meet in bloody
combat the so-called liquor element,
which was also under arms waiting for
trouble.
McDuffie county is dry under the
Georgia local option law, but there
have been numerous charges that blind
tigers We're being operated. In these
MI. Watson has taken a hand and for
some time great bitterness has existed
between the former congressman and
the leaders. of the faction which was
charged with encouraging the viola
tons of the liquor laws.
Matters were precipitated a few days
Ago., when Mr.. Watson was informed
that a young man of the town had APP
piled some opprobrious language to
him before a crowd in a local barber
shop. Meeting h young man on the
street a few hours later, Mr.. Watson
told him what he had heard. He not
only admitted his remarks but repeated
them with curses. Bystanders pre-
vented a personal difficulty.
Mr.. Watson's antagonist M his
brothers proceeded to arm themselves.
whereupon Mr.. Watson also armed
himself. Friends of both sides We're
quickly under arms as we'll and for a
time it seemed impossible to prevent
bloodshed. Every dealer in the city
handling firearms and ammunition was
bought out and trouble of a most seri-
GUS nature was expected. The matter
was finally adjusted through the inter
vention of older citizens, who acted as
Intermediates. Both factions have
now laid aside their arms.

Believes This Government Will Meay
Many Complications.
Washington, No. 9.-Senator Nor
gan said that soon after congress con-
venes in extra session he will intro
duce a resolution calling on the for
eign relations committee of the senate
to obtain from the state department a
detailed report of the relations between
the United States and Colombia under
the treaty of 1916.
According to Senator Morgan the
attitude of this country is not justified
by a careful construction Of the pro-
visions of the treaty, n is at variance
with presidents laid down by the Uni
ted States. In discussing the situation
today he said:
This is the fourth time the United
States has landed troops on the 18TH
mus under cloak of the treaty. Here
tofore it has been for the suppression Of
rioting and for the protection of Col
ombia. Now that it is against the wish
of Colombia it undoubtedly will pro-
woke a just protest"
Colombia means to go to war. OF
that I am certain. This government
will find that it will have a series Of
complications on its hands not unlike
that offered by the Indians when they
were met with the territorial agrees
sion Of his government, and the trou-
Bile the C~olombians will make will be
similar to that Of the Filipinos, with
the conduct OF warfare far more diff
cult. I believe, however, the adminis-
tration will not ave this matter to
decide. 1t is a question for congress,
and that body is not likely to shirk
the responsibility"
Senator Cullom. chairman OF the SEN
ate committee On foreign relations,
called on Secretary Hay at the state
department today. Because of his po-
sition in the senate Mr.. Cullom is
greatly interested in the developments
on the Isthnus Of Panama.
Following the organization Of a per-
maneat form Of government by the
people of the sthmus the senator be-
lieves the United States will negotiate
with the new government for the con-
struction of the Panama canal, though
he expresses the hope that-:any new
l~convention which nay be framed will
tbe without certain features of the Hay
Herran treaty, which. in his opinion
are open to criticism.
