Liable to he Hot Time in Court.

North YAKIMA, Aug. 1S.-As re-
suit Of an attempt to blow up the dam
of the Union Gap Irrigation company
across the outlet of Lake CleEMm yes
terday (Thursday) morning, II. r Tiff
tany. of Iillah, engineer Of the Wash
ington Irrigation company, and five
other men, who, 1t is charged, were
caught in the act of setting Off dyna-
mite under the dam, were arrested and
placed in the CleE.lum Jail. They were
later released under -, 800 bail to await
a hearing next week.
The information of the proposed at.
tempt to blow mp the dam was given
| out by Tiffany as soon as he arrived at
CleIElum. This was communicated to
H. II. Lombard and Frank Horsey, of
this place, who are behind the Union
Gap Irrigation company, and they i'm
Officers at CleF,lum were sent to the
lake and lay in ambush aud when the
first charge of dynamite was set off
Tiffany and his party were placed un.
der arrest.
The logs of the dam were raised by
the force of the explosion and the
water let out.
The dam was built last winter at
cost of 81, 600 by Lombard and Horsley
and raised the water two feet in the
lake. The flood water, MIR. Lombard
said today, was stored and the natural
flow of Gle Elum river was not interior.
ed with. Mr.. Lombard said that the
Union Gap company aid not intend to
use the water this year. but would have
done so next year. He said he would
have gladly turned the water into the
river if anybody had wanted it.
"We are strictly within our rights"
said Mr.. Lombard, "and we mean to
protect them. We made an appropria-
ton out of Lake CleElum for storage
purposes. The water did not belong
to the Washington Irrigation company
but was ours by right of appropriation
and storage. We propose TO prosecute
the men who blew up the dam, to the
full extent of the law"

the Washington Irrigation company,

Old Friends Meet Again.

Mark Brechtel of Oakland, Califor-
mia, is making his old friend and col
lege classmate, +. d. Schnebley, visit
this week. They both attended and
graduated from the Franklin and
Marshal College of lancaster, Penn,
and had not met since May 1854. Both
came west and stopped in California in
1851 and there they separated, but met
again this week. They were always
close friends and have as yet a very
kindly affection for each other.

"The arid belt OF the state of Wash
ington generally lies along the lower
slopes of the Cascade mountains" says
Prof. Waller, of the Washington state
college at Pullman, in the annual OF
the state bureau of statistics.
1.-The moisture charged winds from
the Pacific coming in contact with the
cold of the high mountain range per-
cipitate their moisture as snow and
then sweep over extensive sage brush
plains. The SHOWS, however, melt and
their waters are collected into lakes
and rivers which for many years have
been drawn upon to irrigate the fertile
lands along their courses.
1.-The location of the arid belt so near
the slope of the Cascade range provides
an abundant supply of water. The
enormous rain and snow fall up,n the
mountains gives rise to a largo num-
Der of small streams which meander
down the watershed with rapid fall to
ioin the swift water of the Yakima and
Natchez rivers. BY reason of this stet p
grade of the natural water courses, ma
ture has facilitated the construction of
artificial channels The irrigating ca
nails draw rapidly away from the streams
and with minimum Of length and ex-
pense, reclaim maximum OF land.
The slope of the bluffs enclosing the
valleys being for the most part grad
ual, the difficulties of constructing are
correspondingly decreased. These con-
ditions of abundant water supply and
its economical development have pro-
NOTED irrigation enterprises and hast
ened the settlement OF the country.
The pioneers attracted by ease of the
undertaking and the promise OF rich
results, dug small bitches and reclaim.
ed small tracts along the rivers. For
many miles the results of their labOrs
NAV be seen in beautiful fields and Or
chards. Following them came the
canal companies with ample means, and
the work which was accomplished by
the pioneers on limited plan has been
advanced on broad scale by the latter,
and there now exists a continuous line
of irrigation systems from Kennewick
to the CleElum. The Iaki IA river.

The valuation given does not include
the value of Pullman cars or private
cars The value of this equipment, in
commercial use, is estimated as follows
Pullman cars, sd 900, 900; private cars
s72, 900, 600.
The publication is intended to show
the estimate placed upon the railroads
for business purposes, and it purports
to give their market value rather than
the tax valuations. In note it is ex-
planned that 1.-THE value submitted was
determined not with view to dis
covery as a besis for taxing railway
property, but as one step in ascertain
ing for the census bureau the total
wealth of the United States.
"Whether or not" the note continues,
"the value submitted represents the
value upon which the railways might
properly be taxed depends upon
whether the state undertakes to tax
the roads at their full commercial
value, including the values OF both tan
gi5le ami intangible property, or
whether it seeks to contine its taxation
to the value of the tangible property
alone. In the former case the value
submitted is believed to be subStantl-
ally correct so far as it concerns the
operating properties of the railways;
in the latte.. case it is too high"

There is a charming prospect ahead for the republican members of con- gress. The indications are that no1h- ing will turn President Roosevelt from his purpose of recommending a revis- ion of the tariff. both to save the con- sumers from extortion and to yield more revenue for che government and from insisting on comprehensive rail way rate legislation. Both of these recommendations promise to be extra ordinarily popular with the people but most of the republican members of con gross were elected, nor as the repre- sentatives of the people. but to repre- sent the protected industries and the railroad interests in their districts aud states. They never expected that re publican president would place them between the Devil and the deep sea- and now they are fiercely opposed either 10 burning or drowning, although the indications are that many of them are destined to be submerged or con- sumed.

The American public is informed that the claims of the democrats are absolutely correct and that two ships which the Panama Canal commission wished to buy were priced at S1,4OO.- GO in this country, while identical ships, constructed of steel plates made by the American Steel trust, could be bought in Europe for S7JO.O 900; that the domestic price of steel rails is S33 a ton and the foreign price for the same rails, with freight prepaid to Europe is s20 a ton, and, incidentally, that the cost of the rails is only SIP ton; that the protected hogs have their hind feet in the trough and that 1t is high time they were taught q lesson: that the tariff shelters monopoly and that, in a word, the American consumer is being robbed. And the informant of the American people on all these points is noe other than Presi- dent Roosevelt. the leader of the repub- hcan party. Is it any wonder that the stand patters see defeat ahead; that they foresee their own doom for the reason that they have always been elected by the campaign contributions of the trusts and now that the party of which they are members must fol. low its leader and elect 10 congress men who will vote for tariff revision, their reason for being has ceased:

It is not alone those who are suffer. ing from tuberculosis that have dread of draughts in cars, says one writer, but many persons who are strong phy. sically and are perfectly free from any taint of disease believe that draught of fresh air is sure to cause colds, colds to grow into influenza, bronchitis, pneumonia or tuberculosis, hence they will insist on having car windows, ven tilators, and all other openings for fresh air, to be tightly closed. The trouble is as much with the travelling public as with the railroad managers.
