CALIFORNIAN DROWNED
 NEAR RACQUET.
Once Prominent Educator Loses His Life While Pearling on Black River Thursday
 Afternoon.

J. M. J. Phelan, once occupy ing a chair in the University of California, who came to this sec- tion to engage in pearling, was drowned Thursday afternoon in Black river one mile above Paro- quet, the point where Black river is bridged by the White River road.
 He is said to have been highly educated and to have had a posi- tion with the patent department at Washington. He was alone in his boat when the bark cap- sized and drowned before other pearlers could reach him.
 tPhelan told friends here that he had money in California and had been offered $15, 900 for two patents that he has had secured.

WOMAN'S CLUB.

The Woman's Club met on Friday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Brandenburg. The presi- dent being absent, Mrs. O. D. Watson, as vice-president, took her place. The attendance was unusually small, but those pres ent warmly welcomed two newly elected members, Mrs. Cox and Mrs. Anderson. The resigna- tions of Mrs. Beattie and of Mrs. Stewart were reluctantly ac- cepted.
 The program was largely de- voted to the concluding phases of Napoleon's career. Especially interesting were the fresh facts brought out, and the new light thrown on the characters of Vol taire and Talleyrand.
 A lively discussion, branching from Mrs. o. D. Watson's paper on Napoleon, Caesar and Alex ander," concluded the afternoon.

SID WALSH HOOKS I SIX-POUND BASS.

{. Up until Monday of this week the Cotter Courier editor held the record for the largest bass caught at Cotter this spring. It was a pretty good fish, too, weighed exactly three pounds and six ounces, and was taken with a fly.
 Now comes Sidney Walsh, train dispatcher, and asserts up- on his honor that at or about 3 o'clock Monday afternoon, April 24th, he did, with a rod and reel and bucktail bait, take one black bass which he asserts makes the Courier record look like a Rus sian kopek.
 He furthermore swears and de. clares that said bass taken bv him was l9 inches in length, over all, and that it weighed six pounds and seven ounces. That said bass was alive and in good health, and did of it's own free will and accord seize and attempt to make off with said bucktail bait, becoming by such effort securely fastened thereon, and thus met an untimely end. Walsh weighed the fish, and there is aE suspicion, just suspicion, that he weighed it on its own scalest -Cotter Courier.

URGES GRAND JURY
 TO STOP GAMBLING.
Arrest of Persons Caught Gam bling, As Well As of Propri- etors, Pointed to as Means
 to Stop Gambling.

Pine Bluff, April 28. Circuit
 Judge A. B. Grace yesterday
 morning called the grand jury in
 and gave the body special in-
 structions in the matter of gam
 bling in Pine Bluff. The instruc-
 tions were given because of a
 difference of opinion among the
 jurors about whether only those
 who kept gambling houses or
 every man who played in one of
 the houses should be indicted. Judge Grace said the law made no distinction between the man( who gambled all the time or tho man who would play a game now. and then. Both were violatinG| the statutes and both were guilty of a crime. He advised tReE' grand jury to indict all pers6slo guilty of gambling, for gamblMg|l' was as much crime under the
 statutes as murder or burglaT' o' The only difference was in Ftbela degree. He thought the sbst III way to break up gambling n ~ Pine Bluff was to arrest every
 man who gambled. Whensver llo the customers of a house were CT then the house must CT necessarily close. all
 The tendency everywhere was SIC to stop gambling, for It was ta, proving the ruin of many young
 men. Judge Grace said|hknew wa of many instances where young SUI men were led to cornB# selr are first crime because oF losses at 1~ the gambling tables and o1 , many other cases whefsmen had :
 ost their positions because oI the k evil. Men who ganhed could
 not always be trusted with
 money that was not their own. I
 Continuing the judge said that Fri t was the sworn duty ot the Mr. sheriff and his deputes, the con- der 'table and his deputies and the Wa thief of police and his patrolmen her o arrest any and allpersons who unr were caught gambling Ii these ent nen would not do their duty the ele, rand jury shouldo its duty.

 When questioned about pool tior ooms Judge Grae said he re- Ste ,arded this as the worst form ot cen 'ambling, but that there was no T tate law under which it could vot e stopped. Ma

CO. on the Columbia river, sold $3.50
worth of strawberries in 1904 off OF
two and a half acres.
Irrigated lands in the Yakima valley
are assessed on an average at SCI
per acre They are worth from 500
to $1,000 per acre, according to the
degree of cultivation. For example,
near North Yakima raw land has sold
for from $500 per acre up, with or
chard lands bringing readily from $3.50
to $1,000 per acre and higher. Alfal-
ia land in the Yakima country is cheap
at 5000 per acre.
In 1903, according to the last report
of the state bureau of statistics, the
3O-acre orchard of F. Walden netted
him 100000 There are scores of sim
liar cases in the irrigated districts of
Eastern Washington. One twelve-acre
orchard yielded 5000 boxes of winter
apples, worth over 81 per box on the
ground. The land in the Yakima coun-
try, not nearly so favorably situated
as at Wallula, is expected to net the
farmer $25 per acre at the minimum

the community would be without wa
ter in case of a break.
The Walla Walla river, according to
reports of the United States engineers,
has the most even flow of any river in
the state, the flood coming in Febru-
airy, the ebb in August It's source
is in the Blue mountains, and when
other sections are short Oh water, the
early fall rains in this range start
anew the flow in the Walla Walla riv-
err. The benefit is obvious. The short
age that follows long and dry fall is
eliminated in the country watered by
the Walla Walla river.
Now, as to the soil and climate. The
former is a rich alluvial deposit laid
there aeons ago, when the whole coun-
try was the bed of vast lake. 1t is
sufficiently porous to readily absorb
water and to allow free penetration
of plant roots. It's surface is densely
packed with crust, and covered in
places with a heavy growth of sage
brush. 1t is easily broken with the
plow however, and can be placed in

Seattle commission men what they had
to pay for Kennewick strawberries
last spring. Kennewick, on the North
ern Pacific, is but few miles from
Wallula on the o. r. & N. and Wash
ington & Columbia River R. R. Last
spring, retailers paid $13 in Seattle for
the Kennewick berry which put in it's
appearance before even the famed
Hood River berry of Oregon. In May
the first berries are marketed. Last

length. IA feet wide at the bottom

one paramount advantage over all
other irrigation canals in Washington.
At intervals of three miles, gates have
been built, with spillways and shut
offs, so that in case there is break in
the canal, the water can be shut off
quickly from one division while repairs
are being made, while the capacity of
the canal allows a storage of water in
the remaining divisions sufficient to
last the farmers for two weeks or
more. Thus only a small portion of

such as hogs and dairy cattle, the
earning capacity per acre of well
titled farm in the irrigated belt in
creases into big figures rapidly.
Homes are close together, the COM
munity resembling, with telephones,
daily papers and rural free delivery,
the suburbs of some large city. The
community is one of enterprising, pro-
gressive and cultured people.
Wallula is less than days ride
from Portland, Seattle, Tacoma and
Spokane. Portland, Seattle and Taco
ma to the west, furnish a splendid
market for everything grown in the
Columbia river valley. Spokane has
the command of the great mining dis
tricts in British Columbia, the Occur
d'Alenes in Idaho, and the rich mining
centers of Montana, as Helena and
Butte. Even to st. Paul and Chicago
go the early fruit crops of the Column
bia and Snake river valleys, shipped
in refrigerator cars and commanding
the top notch price. There are three
roads fighting for the business-the
o. R. & NJ, Great Northern and North
ern Pacific, for the o. R. & N. is
feeder for the Great Northern at Spo-
kane and the Washington e Column
bia River Railroad, with branches
reaching Walla Walla and PendletOn.
There is no danger of the farmer in
the Snake river valley being held up
by the railroads. He needs no railroad
commission to help him get fair treat
ment Traffic conditions, existing for
years and created naturally, are his
greatest boon. Through these three
railroads, his products are marketed
quickly and in the very best of con-
dition and they bring the very highest
returns.
The Columbia river is navigable
from this point to The Dalles, Ore. and
since the recent completion of the
Portage railroad at The Dalles, Ore,
through water transportation is now
a reality to the sea. Steamer compe-
tition will insure minimum rates on all
produce to tidewater.
1t is the history of every irrigation
enterprise opened in Washington in
the past six years, that within one
year after the lands are watered, they
very nearly double in price and value.
There will be no deviation from the
rule in the country watered by the
Columbia Canal Company, whose Off
GERS are: u. X. Loose, president; w.
l.. Benham, vice president; J. D. Bas-
sett, of Ritzville, treasurer. The en-
gineer who has completed the work is
H. l.. Phillips, recognized as one of the
best experts in the entire west and
a man of the highest professional
standing. The Offices of the company
are at room Al, Dexter Horton bank
building, Seattle, or representatives

cost. When once subdued it requires
little or no cultivation to raise crops.
These include alfalfa, hops, fruits of
every kind, sweet potatoes, peanuts,
sorghum, tobacco, sweet corn, grapes
and sugar beets. All are profitable
crops for this region.
Owing to the very low elevation
above sea of the land about Wallula,

After the first year, the farmer in
