One man in Polk county paid $500

years ago would have saved all that
and much hard feeling. III
When. you marx a corner take al ing
all your neighbors for witnesses and
point out the witness trees or pits and
mounds to them. Leave no chance for
q lawsuit. Better still have the county
surveyor do the marking and to make
1t matter of record. -
When a read is built drive good

to scratch arocnd and try to find the

There are plain rules for that. But

OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE CITY.

There yet remains but five more
DAYS in which to settle the water
rights question before the gov
eminent option on the Sunnyside
canal will have expired These few
days will carry with them "a fate"
upon which rests the future great
ness OF the Yakima valley. Every
effort is being put forth to bring
this matter to successful close.
We can not afford to let this op-
portunity slip away from us. Much
has been done by irrigation in this
valley, and much remains to be &C
complished. The vast possibilities
are just beginning to dawn.
Twenty years ago, fields that are
now bringing forth fruit of all
kinds in great abundance, lands
that are now selling for as much as
$500 TO 800 per acre (fruit lands)
or even more presented barren des-
ert waste of country, and no hopes
could then be entertained for such
a magnificent future, such marvel
ous development. as greets the eye
of the tourist today
All these conditions have been
brought about by private irrigation,
but there is a vast country surround
inc us on ALI sides which vet ramai 6
undeveloped projects that are too
great TO be undertaken by private
corporations. The government is
ready TO undertake an irrigation
scheme Of large magnitude for us;
irrigation. These conditions have
their project carries with 1t certain
conditions that must be complied
peen presented to the people of the
valley in all the phases from which
the question may be viewed The
most vital. and absolutely necessary
condition. is that the water ap-
perpetrators first settle among them
selves all disputes concerning the
water rights in this valley. When
this is done. the next twenty years
will bring forth greater results, will
treble the population of North Yaki-
ma. and show the benefits of gov
eminent irrigation.

The Seattle p. !, in an editorial
OF Friday, says that the action of
the secretary of the interior in can
ceiling the entry of the Carey Sc
lection is a hold-up and that it is
done to deprive the state of $500 900
in order that some one else may
get it, The p. |. goes on to say that
the people of Yakima have been
easy victims and as THE completion
of the Yakipa irrigation project is
more to US than the matter of half
a million dollars is to the people CT
the whole state that we are clam
oring 10 have the state release its
claim and conciliate the officers of
the reclamation service. We do take
the stand that the state should re-
lease its claim. but it should also be
remembered that the state loses alb
solutely nothing by doing sa, as the
amount of money that will be spent
in the irrigation work as result
of this action will more than COM
pensate not only Yakima valley but
the people of the entire state, for
the claim given up and the perma-
nent result obtained by this work
will be a source OF wealth to the
state for all time to come.

The fact that the dispatches from
Washington in regard to the Carey
selection proposition were mislead
ing, has been proved by a telegram

W. l.. Jones by the irrigation COM
mittee. This telegram says:

ly." AS the secretary is confined to
his house by illness, the matter will
not be finally settled for some few
days to come. The stand taken by
Governor Meade shows that he has
forgotten the fact that at his recent
election Yakima was one of the two
counties that gave him a majority
His return for this compliment is to
attempt in every way to retard the
best interests of the Yakima valley
If this was done in the interests Of
the people of the state there could
be no complaint made, but outside
of the governors political organ, the
Seattle p. l., no one pretends to
think that this is a fact The loss
of 100000 to the state, as a corpo-
ration, certainly cannot be balanced
with the gain of s15,000,00o to the
aggregate wealth of the citizens Of
the state of Washington, whichis a
conservative estimate of the finan-
cial result to be obtained by the gov
eminent irrigation projects in the
Yakima valley. Chairman Fraser of
the. irrigation committee, says that
aside from the great blessings to be
acquired by the people Of this valley
under the Tietan project, there is a
feature which we must not lose sight
of, in the fact that endless litigation
| is in store for all water users along
the Yakima river, unless the ques-
ton is settled now. "These water
rights must be settled between now
and the first day of January" said
Mr.. Fraser.

SCHOOL FOR FARMERS.

The Washington State College at

broader view and come in touch ear
ly in their career with the principals
Of the advancing science of agricul-
ture. The following subjects will
be taken up for two weeks apiece:
Crop Production, Horticulture, Live
Stock Production and Dairying. Any
one desiring further information
