KENNEWICK
The California Of the
Northwest.

You are going west and the ques'
t,ou is, where to stop. Let us give
few reasons why kennewick.
bennington, under the new irrigation
.vstem of the Northern Pacific lrri-
-,.,on Company affords the best op-
nortunities for family seeking ne"
some or capitalist seeking an in
vestment.
E1RsT-Kennewick lies in the CEN
Tor of a district comprising $4,000
acres of land, now being put under the
,,ost modern and complete system OF
irrigation that is possible by the com.
,,,at,on of experience and capital.
sECoND.-Its location gives it I'M
surpassed markets for its products, be-
ing midway between Spokane and Sc
attle on the line of the Northern Pa
. cifc Railway.
THIRD-Kennewick lands are far
cbeaper than any similar lands can be
noueht, for the reason that the lrri-
cation Company is closely allied with
the Northern Pacific Railway, and has
had in view the upbuilding of pros
nervous community on its line, and has
therefore given the public the benefit
of any possible saving in cost.
FOURTH.-The climate is ideal.
While only 1865 feet above sea level, on
the beautiful Columbia River, its prox-
unity to the snow clad Cascade
Mountains makes it land of sunshine.
with air pure and healthful, where
malaria and kindred diseases are prac-
tically unknown, while those suffering
from any bronchial or rheumatic af-
lection find here instant and perman-
emit relief.
FIFTH.-The low altitude makes
the winters very mild and gives the
earliest growing season known in the
entire Northwest, enabling the farm
er thereby to deliver his products into
the markets in advance of all other
parts Of the Northwest. 1t is unneces-
sary to state the advantages obtained
by the first delivery of berries,
peaches, grapes, melons and all classes
Of fruits, the prices realized making
the adage 1.-THE early bird catches the
worm only too true in this case.
SIXTH-While many farms in this
country are successfully raising crops
Of grain, fruit and vegetables without
irrigation, on lands costing only five
to twelve dollars per acre that are
better and more prolific producers
than most eastern farms, still the ma.
ture OF the soil and climate is such
That with irrigation lartihcial water
ing) the yield is increased both in size
and marked value at least tive fold.
1t is impossible, in this small space,
TO tell you of the many wonderful ad-
sahtages accruing to the early settler
IN the kennewick country. A per-
sonal investigation will more than re-
pay you.
Bear in mind that similar land in
older irrigated districts is now selling
al from three to ten times the prices
now asked here. AS this district has
more favorable conditions than any

Mukden, Thursday, June 30.-(De-

losses, but the Russians were forced
to retire from their main position near

retire.
The Russians lost seven officers and
nearly 200 men killed. The Japanese
losses are believed to be much larger.

Secretary of state-P. E. Hanson, Of

State Treasurer. C. Block, of Nj

Justices of the Supreme Court-Cal-
vim L. Brown, of Stevens Charles L..
Lewis, of st. Louis; C. B. Elliott, of
Hennepin; Edwin A. Jaggard, of Ram
sey.
Senator Moses e. Clapp, who presid-
ed, brought about harmony by insist
ing that contests be fought out in the
committee on credentials. While Q n
tests were not settled by the commit
tee, all talk of boiling was done away
with, so that when a minority report
was adopted ~unseating 113 delegates
favorable to Justice Collins for gov
ernor, the unseated delegates left the
hall, pledging their hearty support to
whatever ticket might be named.
After the u~nseating was completed,
it became evident that Dunn had a
large majority. Congressman Eddy
withdrew from the race, while the
name Of Collins was not presented
Dunn's nomination was then made by
reclamation.
As the convention Endorsed Senator
Clapp for reelection, it seems improb-
able that anyone will seriously contest
his return to the senate.
