WHAT IRRIGATION HAS DONE.
Conclusions of Prof. o. L. Waller, after
Investigating.

Prof o. L. Waller of the department
of agriculture, has been engaged for
several months in conducting series
of Investigations on irrigation in tae
Yakima river district, comprising the
counties of Yakima and Kittitas. In a
bulletin, issued by the agricultural col
lege experiment station, some interest
ing figures are given, says the Post-tn-
telligencer. A careful estimate shows
that every 35 acres of that irrigated
land supports one inhabitant, and the
average assessed valuation is SOL per
acre.
The Yakima river system covers an
area of 320,750 acres that may be re-
claimed and placed under profitable cul-
tivation by irrigation. If this is accom-
plished the population could be increased
$4,000 and the assessed valuation of q
two counties would approximate 3d.
100000. Such are the possibilities OF
irrigation in one section of central
Washington. BY adding to the popu-
iation several thousand, new homes
would be erected and prosperity would

ONIONS ARE THE FEATURE

Potatoes are in just about the same
place they were last week. The price
is unchanged, and it takes an extra

branch of the market is looked for soon.
Apples are in fair demand, but the
offerings so far have been free, and
shippers have been able to fill all orders
without delay. In the local market the
demand is for the mellow little Shows

ELECTRIC ROAD MAY BE BUILT.
Conditions warrant the Belief That 1t
May Come Soon.

Robert f. Strahorn and A. G.. Smith,
prominent in the Northwestern Water
& Light company as manager and sec
rotary and treasurer of that company,
respectively, arrived in the city Monday
| from Spokane and have been riding over
the northern part of the county since
that time, looking into the situation to
see if conditions will warrant the build
discussed from time to time during the
past. The time since their arrival has
been taken up with trips up the Match
ez and Ahtanum valleys as far as the
forks of the rivers in each. and over
the Mckee. Tomorrow they will go to
the Sunnyside country, which will be
gone over thoroughly. Mr.. Strahorn
said to Herald reporter this morning:
This is just a trip of investigation.
We are here to see if, in our Judgment
the conditions will warrant the much
talked of electric railway lines, and
will say that from what We have seen
everything would seem to warrant a
most favorable report There is more
business in sight now for such road
than we had imagined. OF course, our
company would be very much interested
in the building of the line, and 1 have
no hesitancy in saying that l believe it
will be built sometime. l can not say
at this time when, for it requires time
to handle a proposition of this magni-
tude. While here we are also looking
into our own water and power plant,
and our investigations along this line
will probably call for large expendi-
ture in the way of improvements. The
nature of these we are not ready to
make public at this time, however"

Halloween, Monday, Oct. 81. Just

gram will be given, among the features
of which will be "spook drill" by the
degree team. Refreshments will also
be served.

ESCAPES STATE AND
UNITED STATES COURTS
Law Says That One Half Breed is an In
dian and That Another is White
Mana Fine Point.

Melvin DAWSON Post, the author of
Randolph Mason" shows with all the
cunning of a learned criminal lawyer
how it is possible for man TO commit
any ENLIGHTENMENT, robbery. even
murder-be detected and proven guilty,
or even confess the commission of the
crime, and then escape punishment en-
tirely by taking advantages of the weak
nesses of the law. crawling through
technical loophole and going scot free.
After reading the interesting book, one
instantly recalls it every time an ac-
count is published of trials like that
of Chester Spencer and Joe Edgar, held
in the courts here since the last issue
of the Herald. And yet, as it was in
the story, the officers of the law are
not to blame for the conditions. They
merely do their duty, but one can't help
feeling that their duty ought sometimes
to be to do just the opposite.
In this case it was proven that one
Indian was an Indian and that another
Indian was a white man. In fact, both
of them are alf-breeds. One is neld to
the federal court for the crime that
they were equally guilty in committing
different fro mhis partner. Edgar's
mother was an Indian woman, while his
father was a white man. or at least
had white blood in mis- veins. Justice
Taggard found upon looking up the au-
thorities that he had no jurisdiction in
the case on account of the crime having
been committed on the Indian reserva-
ton. The case was thereupon trans
| ferred to United States Commissioner
| Iiowlett's court; here the attorney for
the Indians accused of robbery called
! into question the standing of each in
the eyes of the law. and moved to have
Spencer discharged on the ground that
he was full blooded Indian according
to the law, and that. such being the
case. the court had no jurisdiction. The
position was upheld and Spencer was
discharged. 4=
Edgar was the offspring of white
man and an Indian woman. so the wit
nesses testified, and therefore he was a
white man. A white man may not COM
NIT a crime upon reservation land with
out being liable to punishment, and
Edgar is liable to get his before he gets
through with it. That's plain enough,
but the proposition of his partner in the
holdup is pulling to the lay mind; but
from the Judgment of the court and the
apparent agreement of the authorities,
an Indian may hold up man on the
reservation at any time, take his cash
and go about his business without fear
of being molested by the authorities,
Indeed, as Randolph Mason" said, what
harvest the rogues will have when
they get to understand the law.

NUMBERS IN EARLY DAYS
Forerunners Of Existing System Re
sorted to Queer EspedIents.

In a paper read before the Philo-
logical society of the University OF
Michigan, George Hempl commented
upon the forerunners OF our present
system of enumeration Some two
years ago, in seeking the origin of
the Runic letters (the first letters
used by the Germanic races, Profes.
sor Hempl discovered the primitive
Germanic mineral rotations. They
threw new light upon the early Ger.
manic mineral system, as well as up
on the primitive Indo-European mum.
erical system and upon the develop.
ment of the Greek alphabet and the
Greek numerical notation.
The primitive lndo European numer.
ical system was a mixture OF the deci.
NAL and the sexagesimal The first
large number was the "shock"-that
is, siXty-and the next large number
was the "hund," or hundred" that is
l2O. Between 60 and 100 there were
no numbers like our 20, etc. 10 being
"a shock and ten" and 80 being "a
shock and 20" The introduction OF
our present numbers between GO and
12O arose out of the introduction of
the decimal hund or hundred, that is,
100, in distinction from which the old
hundred (l20) was called the duodeci-
NAL hundred, or the great hundred"
which is still used in Iceland and parts
of England

ENGLlSH BARD WAS RIGHT

Shakespeare Made No Mistake in 10.
eating Scenes Of Hamlet"
Dramatic critics and commentators
have long been puzzled to account for
the fact that Shakespeare placed the
scene of Hamlet" at Elsinore, in the
Island of Zealand, whereas the Dan.
ish prince lived and died in Jutland.
But just recently the municipal au,
thorities at Elsinore, or Helsingor,
have discovered in their archives that
an English company was acting in
their town in 1887 or 1883, and among
the names of the actors are several
of those who were acting with Shakes.
peare in London in 1889.
Obviously. these actors must have
talked about their adventures in Den
mark and so Shakespeare became
well acquainted with Elsinore, and,
when he wrote Hamlet" he knew
by description rather than in an island
of which he knew nothing The poet
was no great stickler for accuracy in
geographical matters and this visit
of the English actors plausibly ex.
plains the reason why the tragedy OF
Hamlet" was placed in Zealand and
not in Jutland.
