AFTER so YEARS
Claimants of French spoliation Award
Will Get Their Money

New York April 2Z-After four gener-
atoms of Christophers had fought and
waited sixty years or more for their
share of the spoliation claims awarded
growing out of the desultory naval
warfare between this country and
France in 1901. Mrs. Mary Christopher.
a widow, whose home is in Brooklyn,
and her son, Thomas Y. J. Christopher,
are assured by their lawyers that they
will soon receive from Washington at
least $17 900 as their share of the award.
Their claim is based on the capture in
1901 by the French of the ship Gauges,
owned in part by Vermilyia Christie
pher, a prominent ship owner and mer-
chant in this city.
When France sold Louisiana to the
United States one of the stipulations
was that SO. $1,000 of the purchase
money was to be set aside to pay the
spoliation claims. The son of Yer
milyia Christopher put in a claim for
a share of this fund because of the loss
of the Gauges, and the fight has de-
scended to his grandson. who. with his
mother, is assured by the lawyers that
they soon viii receive at least $1,000

of the Big Bend project, which, Mr.. New
ell said, is the largest irrigation project
in the world. According to his statement
it would irrigate between one and two
million acres of land, and so far as the
investigations have gone, the cost would
be staggering. and could only be compar-
ed with the Panama canal in magnitude.
But the land reclaimed would be well
worth the cost of reclamation. He said
it would be several years before the de-
partment could fully determine whether
the project was feasible or not.

PASSES INTO new HANDS
Spokane Capitalize Heads Syndicate
That Makes the Purchase
of the Plant

Robert E. Strahorn, of Spokane, DROP
ped into the city last Wednesday. al
after looking over the plant and pros
poets of the Yakima Water Light & Pow
er Co. concluded that it was good prop
erty for the syndicate of capital which
he represents. On Thursday, in COM
pany with Mr.. Edward Whitson, presi-
dent of the company, Mr.. Strahorn went
to Portland to make final arrangements
with the other stock holders of the COM
pany, Messrs. Ladd and Corbett, for the
transfer of the plant, and the deal was
then and there consummated.
Mr. Strahorn is said to own and oper
ate several similar plants in various
towns of this state and Oregon, and is
associated with men who are progressive
liberal and experienced in the business,
and proposes to give the city good and
satisfactory service.
The formal transfer of the operating
department of the company has already
been made, but there has up to this
time been no change in the local manage
ment A. G. Smith, of Spokane, who
was here with Mr.. Strahorn, will have
charge of the company's affairs, and will
arrive in a few days to take charge.
There have been numerous rumors in
circulation recently that the water com
pany was about to dispose of its hold
ings, but the company has been very
close mouthed in regard to the business
so that the public was rather surprise
when the official announcement wa,
made that the sale had been perfected.
The new owners announce that they
intend keeping Incorporating department
ahead of the eity's needs, making sucl
improvements and additions as to max,
it amodel and up-to-date institution.
No statement is made by either party
to the trade as to the consideration O.
the transfer. but guesses are made plac
ing the amount at from 100000 +,
100000.

If the members Of the legislature
could bo carried over some OF the
rough roads that are now to be
found in every county III the Piod-
mont section, if they could be
carried in the ordinary wagons
and buggies used for transporta-
ton in this section and thereby
become experimcntally acquainted
with the conditions that obtain
with us now, we would have 10
anxiety us to future legislation on
the road question. Compromises
would bo speedily effected through
which low country representatives
would yield to the obvious necessi-
ty of law that could be made to
apply most broadly where such ap.
plication is most needed. Consti-
tutional restrictions surely can be
in a case like this.
