The approaching council OF the General
Federation OF Women's Clubs to be held
at Atlantic City is beginning to be the sub
ject of discussion among club women and
club editors Being an innovation, the full
importance of the council has not been gem
orally recognized and 1t is only Yithin the
fortnight that western club women. at
least, have evinced anything like an active
interest in the meeting. Naturally the
eastern clubs will send larger delegations
The Massachusetts women are planning an
excursion that will include several stops
after the council is over. The delegation
will go by special train. 1t is doubtful
II any of the other federations will send
larger delegations though New York and
Pennsylvania promise a goodly representa-
| ton. There is some talk of appointing
| Chicago a meeting place for delegates
| from the west and arrange for a special
from there to Atlantic City il there are

WOMAN IN CLUB AND CHAR ITY.

The annual business meeting of the
Omaha Woman's club will take place Mon
day afternoon, when officers for the COM
ing year will be elected. AS all the pres
ent officers are eligible to serve another
term, they will probably be reelected
There has been practically no political talk
In the club this year. so far as the general
club is concerned, but this very fact has
led many to believe that there will be
some surprises sprung at Monday after
moons meeting. There are, of course,
other names than that of the present
incumbent being spoken of for the presi-
dency but that is customary. Perhaps the
most popular woman named is Mrs. j. II.
Dumont, but she declines the nomination,
as she did last spring and has done before.
The fact is that the presidency of the
club carries with It so many demands that
there are few women who are qualified to
hold the Office who care to assume it's re-
sponsibilities and this fact undoubtedly ac-
counts for the present political tranquility

Announced originally as a council OF club
presidents and officers. club members gem
orally have not understood the real i'm
portance OF the meeting. Mrs. Decker and
the executive committee are urging the
women TO attend that they, too may fa-
miliarize themselves with the matters to
come before the council. For several years
those at /the head of the Federation's $
work have realized the handicap of a BIZ
ennial convention. The increasing scope OF
its work seems to demand more frequent
conferences between the state and ational
workers, and this year the council was
decided upon. Many women prominent in
the national organization are said to favor
an annual convention, but the more con-
| servative ones seem to feel that, with the
| council we'll established and vested with
certain power. TO alternate with the hi
ennial. IL will be unnecessary TO call the
larger meeting together oftener than once
| in two years. The newly organized bureau
/ of information will undoubtedly facilitate
the work by disseminating informa tion, but
II cannot supply the enthusiasm and the
many benefits that result from a meeting

POSSIBILITIES OF IRRIGATION
IN STATE OF WASHINGTON
Reclamation Engineers Talk About the
Work in the State.

L. n. Noble, district engineer in charge
of the government reclamation service
in Washington, said in discussion of
this work in addressing body of ell
gineers in the capital city last Tuesday:
The possibilities of irrigation in
Washington are numerous and of such
magnitude as to furnish field for the
efforts of reclamation engineers for a
period of years. the Big Bend project,
which embraces a vast area of land in
cluded in what is known as the Big
Bend of the Columbia river, has re-
ceived the consideration of the engineers
but owing to the enormous cost. it has
not been found practicable to proceed
with construction. Preliminary investi-
cations have been made of = various
sources of water supply for the irriga-
ton of this tract, special attention be-
ing given to Pend dOreille river and
Lake, the Columbia river itself $40
kane river and Occur d'A!cne Lake. a
summary of the several Investigations
of this project would seem to indicate
that the most feasible scheme will be to
divert the waters of Occur d'Alene
Lake through % miles of tunnel util-
izing the channel of Spokane river ~ Il
natural waterway for diverting the
water. 1t is estimated that this proc,,
will cost $50 100000, and will reclaim not
less than 100000 acres OF land. As the
entire irrigation fund at this time is on
ly S23,00O,000, further consideration OF
the Big Bend project is out of the qlcs
ton at present, The Washington en-
gineers, during the past season have
given particular attention to an appa-
rently feasible project known as the Pa
louise in southeastern Washington, where
it is proposed to divert the waters of
Palouse river, and by means of storage
in Washtucna Coulee, reclaim approx
imately 100000 acres of exceedingly fer
tile land. This project presents few en-
gineering difficulties, but requires some
expensive canal construction. The aver
age cost per acre for irrigation works
will be about $50. The climate. soil.
and elevation are particularly adapted
for wide variety of agricultural prod
ucts. and this price is not considered
excessive"
Representative Jones of Washington
said that a. this land had lower eleva-
ton than the Yakima valley in which
he resides. he believed $50 an acre
would not be prohibitive. Considerable
power will be developed by this project
and it is proposed later to utilize this
power for pumping water onto higher
bench lands. The area which may thus
be served is between $4,000 and $4,000
acres.

J. ". PECK WILL BUILD
SAnITARIUM IN MCKEE
And This Portion of the Yakima Valley
Will Become Still Further Known
as Health Resort.

One of the first places in Yakima
county to become famous as a health re
sort doubtless will be the sanitari,m
which J. w. Peck of the Mckee is PLAN
ming in connection with the artesian
wells on his ranch, known as "The Viii
lows" There is every reason to believe
that the sanitarium will in time be-
come a mecca for people in all parts of
the northwest and particularly from the
Sound, where a deep and abiding respect
is entertained for the sunny valley Of
the Yakima.
Mr.. Peck's place is situated in an at
tractive spot, high, commanding a Le
lightful view of the valley and possess
ing the very best natural sanitary con-
ditions. the artesian we'll which will be
the chief attraction to invalids is rich
in the natural qualities that mark all
the wells in the Mckee, particularly in
iron, sulphur and magnesia. The tenn
perature never varies from "A degrees F.
In order to afford the best facilities Mr.
Peck will either build large and mod
ern addition to his residence. or. as is
more probable, erect a separate building
to be used exclusively for sanitarium
purposes. In either case the equipment
and furnishing will be up to date and
complete There will be all kinds of
baths arranged, including a large plunge
bath from two to eight feet in depth.
cemented. The rooms will be arranged to
give the best ventilation and the great
est amount of sunshine, and will be
made as attractive as possible for the
many who are now enquiring aifi VINO
in the future will desire accommodations
The future guests of "The Willows" will
have the best that is going while they
remain at the sanitarium; the richest
of milk and cream, the choicest of fruits
and vegetables. and the best of all that
the valley produces will be placed before
them, and if those who come here from
less favored regions suffering from rheu-
matism, asthma, catarrh, and many
other chronic ailments do not find the re-
lief they seek, it will be useless for them
to go to any other place.
