MR.. FRASER'S POSITION.

Elsewhere i'll this issue will be found
an interview with James II. Fraser. re-
publican candidate for State senator
from this county. lie talks of a rail
road commission bill, of which he is
heartily in favor. and declares he will
work and vote for such a measure if
elected. In Yakima county. without re-
gard to their political belief. the people
are IN favor of railroad commission and
Mr.. Fraser, realizing this. very properly
lets them know where he stands on that
issue. If elected to represent thhis
county in the upper branch of the legis-
lature he will he the servant of the peo-
pie and they can depend on it that he is
not the character of man who can be
swerved from his duty; no influence of
any kind could be brought to bear on Mr..
Fraser that would induce him to per
form an unworthy act or support a
measure that he did not believe to be
right. And if he Is sent to Olympia by
the republicans OF this county he will
be nobody, man, but the honest
straightforward representative of Yaki-
ma county, fully alive to the response
billtieS resting upon him and DESTROYS
only OF enacting such legislation as will
be best for his constituents and the com.
monwealth at large.

The democrats do a good thing occa-
sionally and should be given due credit
for 1t. Down in Missouri they have nom
mated Joseph W. Folk, the circuit at
torney who has convicted so MANY of
the boodlers OF bribery. for governor.
And the platform enacted denounces
boodling and bribery of all forms in the
strongest terms, declaring it to be the
paramount issue in the state. But the
effect of the nomination of Mr.. Folk and
the adoption of the splendid platform on
which ne stands IS largely nullified by
the endorsement of Parker and Davis,
Tor whose campaign the biggest corrup-
tion fund ever raised in any country

necessary to use much of it in Missouri.
which Is reliably democratic, and while
Mr.. Folk is undoubtedly honest and sin.

political corruption. his support of the

large for the man who has done so much
to expose and punish bribery in his own

Grover Cleveland, in an article in Col
lier's Weekly, declares that Judge Par
ker's telegram to the S. Louis conven-
ton notifying it that he is for the gold
standard, filled the blank in a disabled
platform, gave leadership to the demo-
cratic cause and rallied supporters by
thousands and tens of thousands to the
democratic Standard This endorse
ment by Cleveland of the democratic
candidate for president is in line with
the wishes of the Wall street financiers :;
they controlled Cleveland and robbed the
government of millions through his bond
issues in time of peace. They will con.
troll Parker if he should be elected and
the democrats of the west. who for the
past eight years have so bitterly fought
the Cleveland wing of the party, will
abjectly surrender the principles they
have been advocating and fall in with
the money power.

If Russia has not now enough trouble
on her hands, she will surely have a
surfeit of it if she persists in firing on
and capturing the vessels of foreign ma
tions. England has demonstrated that
she will stand no such foolishness and
your Uncle Samuel, if any of his ships
are molested, will be heard from in no
uncertain tones. 1t will be altogether
better for Russia to confine her opera
lions to the japanese fleet. The great
powers are in no mood to allow her to
practice on theirs.

The result of the democratic conven-
tions held so far throughout the state
make it almost certain that George Tur-
ner will be nominated for governor by
the Bcllingham convention next week.
The Herald is glad of it. This news
paper has before expressed the belief
that he will prove to be weak before
the people and the approaching cam
paign will demonstrate Just what the
voters think of a man who mas belong
ed to all parties in period of five or
six years. 1t is anything to get office
with Turner, but heretofore he has been
able to get in through the appointive
power or by the grace of demo-pop.
legislature. 1t will be different when
he has to depend on the votes of the
people and if Turner's cupidity is not
justly rebuked the voters of this state
will prove themselves to be the biggest
chumps of any commonwealth in the
union.

WASHINGTON IRRIGATION co
FOR GOVERNMENT CONTROL
Manager Granger Says 1t will Assist
to Enact Legislation for 1t to
Control Surplus Water.

III. B. Scudder yesterday informed The
Herald that Walter N. Granger, man.
ager of the Washington Irrigation COM
pany and secretary OF the state irrigation
commission, had authorized him to say
that he and his company are in favor of
the national government controlling and
distributing the surplus waters of the
Yakima water shed by conservation in
the lakes at the head of the rivers. He
also stated that he and his crmpany
would assist the people in every way pos
sible to secure legislation to bring about
this result.
This is an important announcement,
especially SO in view of the fact that the
Washington Irrigation company and Mr.
Granger have heretofore been rega rded
as opposed to government control of sur
plus water. That corporation is the largest
water consumer in the valley and if it is
willing that the national government
shall control the surplus it is believed
the smaller consumers will more readily
consent. In another portion of this pa
per will be found full report of the ir-
rigation meeting held last Saturday even
ing in this city, at which Engineer Noble,
chief OF the government reclamation SER
vice, told the people what would be neces-
sary in order to secure federal aid.

WEDNESDAY, JULY %, 1904
FOR GOVERNMENT AID.

Every reader of this paper is advise,
to carefully peruse the proceedings o.
the irrigation meeting held i'll this
city last Saturday evening. The matter
is of vital concern to the future of this
valley Irrigation is king in the Iaki
ma. but it has about reached its limit
under present conditions. Government
aid is necessary for the big projects. The
or corporations are given control
of the surplus water. enough of
which is available, if properly con-
served, to reclaim practically Il half
million acres of land. Saturday nights
meeting demonstrated that there is work
to be done by the people OF this valley
If they hope to receive federal assistance.
1t all depends on themselves; they must
work out their own salvation. The gov
eminent has the money to do the work,
says the projects are practical and is
willing to undertake their consummation
if the people will do their part
They must get to work. If they do
not, other communities will reap the
benefits that this valley should snare.
What appears to be necessary is a rcvis-
ION of the state laws on irrigation. or
the adoption of new statutes that will
conform to the policy of the govern
ment. 1t should not be difficult mat
ter according to the view of Engineer
Noble. He is the chief of the govern
ment reclamation service and no doubt
speaks with authority wnen he indicates
what Is necessary in this direction.
Other states have enacted laws that
conform to the policy required and
Washington can do the same. In its IL
rigation commission the machinery is
already created for the formulation of
such measures. If they are worked out
they can be passed at the next session
of the legislature. The thing to do now
is to decide what is necessary. This will
require the best Thought of those IA
miliar with irrigation and the local con
ditions. They are fully capable of solv-
ing the problem, the irrigation commits
sion will no doubt make such recommen-
dations as they suggest, the Legislature
will not hesitate to enact the laws and
the only obstacle in the way appears to
be prompt and intelligent action. This
should be easily overcome. 1t cannot be
done, however without work That Is
what is needed now and if it is not per
formed it is a pretty good Indication
that the people of the valley are content
with the present development.

form is the consideration of the assess
company. Assessor Coonsc has fixed
the asscssable value of all its property
i'll the county at 81 ,2222, AS against SSl6,
$40 last wear, or an increase of S405.-
sos. This valuation is on practically 100
miles of main track, side track. rolling
stock, etc. and is not an excessive Valua
that placed on the properly of individ-
uals, but the railroad company happens
to have no strings on assessor Consc. 1t
has given unofficial notice, however. that
it will resist the assessment and appeal
to the courts This may be a bluff to
intimiIatc the commissioners. but
to stand by the figures of the assessor.
They are not near nigh enough yet in
proportion to the valuation placed on
private property. and if the county has
the power to collect taxes from individ-
uals it certainly has the same power to
collect from the railroad company. Ii
it hasn't such power. there is no time
better than the present to find it out.
The people are tired of the continual
tax lodging of the Northern Pacific Rail
way company. 1t can well afford to pay
its proportion of the burden of maintain
ing the county government and they will
insist that no further favoritism be
shown that corporation. 1t shows none
to the people in the matter of passen-
ger or freight rates, which it arbitrarily
fixes. and they are completely at its
mercy. The company, having Il monop-
ly i'll this county. enjoys al large an luc-
rativc businesses and can better afford
to pay than any other corporation or
individual within its boundaries. The
commissioners. when they are solicited
to lower the assessment. should take
these facts into consideration. The Her
aid hopes and believes that they will let
the valuation stand as fixed bv Assessor
Coonse, but if they do not and the people
ever again get n chance at them at the
polls, there'll be sudden termination
to any future pilitical ambitions that
the gentlemen may cherish
