were disappointed by the lack of animation in

limited after the initial liquidation. the market
following the call showed steadiness, with prices
working up several points from the opening
figures.

THE IRON MARKET
EXPECTED So A TON ADVANCE sATIsFAC-
TORY TO TRADE.

New York, Dec. 22.-The expected advances
of So ton in bars, plates and shapes, which
have just been made. are generally satisfactory
to the trade, says the Iron Age. They were
preceded by the booking of considerable tom
mage.
The billet association decided to let the Off
ca price alone but that action had little signifi-
canoe because, as matter of fact, the official
prices have become purely nominal. 1t is today
merely a question how large a premium buyers
must pay. 1t is understood that very large
amount of business has been booked.

WAlCA WALLA PIONEER 1EIIs
OF THE PLAN TO RECLAIM
LAND.
Is Making an Inspection of Street
Pavements in Oregon and
Washington Cities.

Colonel Frank Parker, the pioneer
newspaper man of Walla Walla, mem
Der of the Lewis and Clark fair board
of Washington, and delegate from
Walla ~Walla to inspect paving in 9TH
er cities preparatory to general street
improvement in his own city, is at the
Imperial
The colonel has also made close
study of the plans for retaining 1OO.-
600 acres of land in eastern Washing
ton. Regarding this project, which
government employees are now survey
ing and outlining, he said:
The plan is to carry the waters of
the Palouse river to Rock creek and
likewise the waters of Upper Hang
man creek. and in turn to let the water
into Washtucna lake.
The plan seems entirely feasible be-
cause of the natural lay of the land.
1t would provide water for irrigation
purposes as far as Pasco in Franklin
county. BY the plan the storage lake
would be nearly Sc miles long, and
would easily provide water for 100. 900
acres of land.
AS to the soil to be irrigated. inves-
tigation has demonstrated that it is as
fertile as the land of the adjacent in
land empire when properly Watered
III fact. it would create a new inland
empire. would result in new towns
springng up and would care for vast
population in southeastern Washing
ton.
LAS yet it is impossible to say when
the work will be dOne-if it is done at
all: but the belief is that the govern
ment intends to carry out the project
