Inspected County Farm Property.

The supervisors and number of in
vited guests took dinner at the County
Farm, Tuesday, with Mr. and Mrs N.
E. Mckenzie. This annual visit of the
supervisors always finds everything in
fine shape and the inmates all being
well cared for. The same thing is true
any day of the year when any one hap
pens to stop at the farm. The unfortu-
mates are given splendid home and
every reasonable comfort. The appear

cared for and made to yield good re-
turn. Mrs. Mckenzie, with the assist
ance of some ladies of the neighborhood

WILL IRRIGATE TETON.
Board of Consulting Engineers Favor
Washington Projects.

The consulting board of engineers
of the reclamation service has favor
ably recommended two projects in
Washington. They are the Teton and
the Okanogan, says the Union.
The construction of the Teton pro-
ject will reclaim about 1000 acres of
land in the Yakima valley, by taking
the necessary water from the Teton
river. There is at present only one
other lrrigating canal diverting water
from the Teton river but ut low water
1t is claimed that it takes about all
that is available.
To obviate interference with this
and other riparian rights the govern
ment has provided for the construc-
ton of enormous reservoirs at the
headwaters of several tributaries OF
that stream.
The construction of the government
canal is pronounced to be compara-
lively easy with the exception of one
place where 1t must be carried around
a rocky bluff for n considerable dis
tance. 1t will also be necessary to dig
n 1000 foot tunnel by which the water
will be carried from one watershed to

RUNNING TO COVER.
Washington Officials Agitated Over
Land Fraud Investigations.

There was a scurrying into cover
in certain quarters yesterday when
the News got out on the street an
nouncing that six United States
special agents are in and about this
city at work on the investigation of
suspicious circumstances which tend
TO show wholesale violation of certain
federal laws in this state, and in
volvins a few prominent citizens of
Seattle, says the Seattle News
The story caused a distinct sensa-
ton and is today the talk of the town,
and much speculation has been
aroused as to the nature of the in
vestigation and the names of the men
involved In the matter. The inves-
tigation is being conducted with the
utmost secrecy, the agents gathering
information in ways which will not
disclose their purposes, lest their
quarry escape them after it has been
freed.
The disclosures in Oregon and
idaho regarding timber land frauds
and the prominence of the men who
have been involved in them naturally
gives rise to the inference that it is
timber land matters that are being
investigated in this state.
Timber land titles have been secur-
ed from the government in Washing
ton in many cases in much the same
manner as those in the adjoining
states which have resulted in the re-
cent wholesale arrests and prosecu-
tions, and it is known that investi-
CATION of these have been going on
for several months.
