same source as the tract east of the
Northern Pacific track, and that there
fore it was uncertain whether or not
it could be irrigated unless water was
taken from Priest rapids in the Column
bia river. We can therefore dismiss
from the Washtucna coulee project any
lands lying between the Northern Pa
cifc and the Columbia river and it
therefore follows that there is at most
but 10000 acres capable of being irri-
gated through the Washtucna coulee
project, and even the practicability
of irrigating this section has not been
definitely determined. Under date of
August 16, 1904, Chief Engineer New
ell wrote me as follows: "In going
over the ground and discussing the
preliminary estimates, it appears that
the project, while favorable in many
respects, is on the debatable ground
of feasibility, and unless you assist
literally it will not be favorably con-
sidered."

year than has ever been the case.
Regular visitors to the fair say there
is a noticeable improvement in the
quality of stock as compared with
previous years. The herd of Here
fords exhibited by A. J. Splawn, four
teen of which carried off the honors
at the Oregon state fair, are conceded
to be among the very finest in the en-
tire northwest. ID. Ii. LoOney, of
Jefferson, Ore, shows some fine Jer-
sey cattle, and L. K. Cogswell, of Che
halls, Wash, is there with fine show
ing of Red Polls. The Carbon Cattle
Company is on the grounds with a
good exhibit of Angora goats, the adj
miration of everyone.
The poultry show is larger than the
management expected it would be,
which is an indication of the wonder
full growth this branch of agriculture
is making in this state. There are
over three hundred fowls entered.
Nothing but the best strains are to be
found
Dairy exhibits are numerous, several
of the leading firms being present with
big exhibits of their apparatus. Among
them is the firm of Lilly, Bogardus
& Co., the Seattle dealers in the Sharp
les Tubular separator This exhibit
is in charge of A. B. Braddick, the
manager of this department for the
Seattle firm.
Nurserymen are there in large num-
bers with splendid exhibits of all
classes of nursery stock.
The Washington agricultural college
has one of the most popular exhibits
on the grounds, one that is at the same
time instructive.
Individual county exhibits are nu-
merous, and they show in bewilder-
ing array the vast possibilities latent
in each section in the way of raising
the different classes of produce.

should remove the impression that the
only stumbling block in the way Of
Immediately carrying out the Wash
sucna project has been or is the re-
cent rehabilitation of the o. r. & N.
Cos. track from Kahlotus to Cornell.
If the company assists ''liberally," and
from the quotation made from Mr..
Newell's statement, this would appar-
emily mean to reconstruct it's road,
without compensation, on the north
side of the coulee, then "the debat-
able ground of feasibility will be gone
over and the practicability of the en-
tire project determined. I submit that
under these circumstances it was not
fair or just for Mr.. Newell to convey
the impression that the o. r. e N.
Co., through the relaying of it's tracks,
was attempting to hold up the govern
ment to any extent whatsoever.
1t would seem as if some of the
agitation upon this subject was for the
purpose of so far prejudicing the O.
R. e N. Co. with the people of the
state that the company would be will
ing to sacrifice to a great extent it's
property interests in the Washtucna
coulee, thus contributing ''liberally''
toward the project. There are several
irrigation projects now being consid-
cred by the government in Oregon
and in washington. Some of these,
unlike the Washtucna coulee project,
will be of direct benefit to the o. r.
e n. Co., but l see no reason why per-
sons having private interests within
the limits of these irrigation schemes
should sacrifice their property with
out compensation in order to avoid
being regarded as obstructionists.
Judging from the way in which gov
eminent work is ordinarily carried on,
ample funds exist or will hereafter
come into existence to do all the work
which the government has yet con-
sidered; and it seems to me only just
that the government should treat all
private interests fairly and make due
compensation for any injury suffered
| by such private interests, and that
government officials should not be en-
couraged to subject private individu
ais or corporations to undue censure
or prejudice simply because such indi-
viduals or corporations are not will
| ing to sacrifice their property to fur
| Their an irrigation scheme still on the
debatable ground of feasibility, and
of such a doubtful character that
unless such private interests are sacri-
| feed it will necessarily be abandoned.

Valuable IRRIGATION Bulletins.

A bulletin has just been issued by
the United States department of agri-
culture that every one operating an ir-
rigated farm should have. 1t is entitled
Preparing Land for Irrigation and
Methods of Applying Water" and is
prepared by the agents in charge OF
irrigation Investigations. 1t comprises
S3 pages, profusely illustrated with
half tone engravings, and practical de-
vices for leveling and preparing land
for irrigation. another bulletin just
out is entitled Current Wheels" de-
scribing all the various kinds of
wheels used for raising water from
streams for irrigation, accompanied
by illustrations and diagrams showing
just how such wheels are constructed.
Anyone can get copy of these bull
Gins by writing for same to Senator

Huge Dixie Along the Fraser.

The agriculturists and stock raisers
living on the low lands between the
Fraser river in British Columbia and
the foothills of the Cascades near SUI
mas are anticipating that the Sumas
Development Co. will build huge dixie
along the river to keep it from mum
dating the country known as Sumas
Prairie. In fact, the building of the
dixie is said to be assured, all the mu-
inequalities affected having given their
sanction to the plan proposed by the
development company, and all that
now remains to do is to secure the land
grant from the government asked by
the company, as their sole compensa-
ton for the building of the dixie. En-
gineer Hill, of Seattle, in charge of the
project, says the work of making the
preliminary survey for the dixie will
commence as soon as the land grant
asked for has been given by the go
eminent. This may take two or three
months, but there is scarcely doubt
that the company will get the land
grant The improvement will do
will assure the settlers of freedom from
the frequent overlooking of the land.
1t will not only benefit the land in Brit
ish Columbia, but will also affect all
the land between Sumas and the Cas-
cade foothills The land which the
company is asking for as it's compensa-
ton for doing the diking work is the
Sumas lake, comprising some 1000
acres, which they intend to drain and
reclaim.
