organization was perfected for
Benton county, to be known as
the Benton County Good Road
Association. The following Off
GERS were named: President, Vir-
gil E. Waters; 1st. vice rresi-
dent, Crosby G. Davis; 2nd vice
president. Robert H. .Gellatlv;;
secretary and treasurer, James A.
Harper. These gentlemen viii
also act as the executive commit
tee.
Two resolutions of Importance
were adopted; one recommend
ing the establishment in the Ag-
ricultural College of a depart
ment of Civil Engineering, where
in pupils may be taught practical
lessons in road building.
The other resolution is in re-
gard to the turning of tramp and
vagrant labor into account in i'm
proving the public streets and
roads. Instead of allowing this
class to drift about from place to
place it is recommended that
state, county and city officials
utilize this labor, laws to be en-
acted, Of course, to cover the
case. These tramps should be
put to work upon the public
streets, and roads; and further
more, it is recommended that the
convicts in the penitentiary be
put TO work in preparing materi-
al to be used in the construction
of highways, thus removing
the labor of convicts from com
petition with free labor. Twelve
southern and some northern states
have adopted this plan, with
great success.
Hon. Wellington E. Louchs,
organizer of the National Good
Roads Associstion was to have
been present at the evening
session, but his place was filled
by Mr.. Bronson, who made an
interesting talk. There was
music by the male quartette, and
the concluding feature was a
stereopticon lecture, 'The Roads
of the World" by Col. w. H.
Moore. These views showed
pictures of roads in the Holy
Land, in Italy and other parts OF
the world and covering a period
of 5000 years.
At the conclusion of the lee
ture, adjournment was taken and
the First Good Roads Convention
ever held III Benton county had
become history.

Fatal Applause.

An English snake charmer
named Leyton was performing at
a village called Vaelhlinger, in
Rhenish Prussia, in menagerie
with a boa constructor, which she
permitted to coil round her neck.
Her courage met with thunders of
applause from the spectators,
who little dreamed that by their
signs of approval they had sealed
the poor charmer's death warrant.
Such, however, proved to be the
case, for, apparently infuriated at
their demonstration, the reptile
tightened its coils and amid the
shrieks of the public strangled the
woman on the platform before
anything could be done to assist
her.-N. Y. Herald.

THE WATER MUST BE STORED.
covernment Reclamation the Only
Solution of impending Difficult
ties Says Z. F. Benson

Unless given assurance OF some
amicable adjustment by which It's
,;phts to the waters of the Yakima
river will be adequately protected
the Prosser Falls Land s. Irrigat-
ion Company will be compelled tc
90 into the courts to preserve its
rights as against subsequent claim
ants to the waters Of the Yakima.
Such contest will inlperil many
water usesrs who are now depend
Ing upon the waters of the Yakima
for irrigation Of their farms. The
only satisfactory solution of the
situation is government ownership
of the Sunnyside canal, and gov
ernment reclamation including the
| impounding and storage of waste
waters.
This, in brief, is the declaration
of E. f. Benson of Prosser, who,
in an interview with tie Republic
this morning said:
"About thirteen years ago the
Prosser Falls Irrigation company
developed water power and an
irrigation enterprise at Prosser, re-
h'ing upon the water then unap-
.~opriated flowing in the Yakima
river at that point. One power
Aume was built with a carrying
capacity of about 500 cubic feet
per second aud water wheels were
installed to develop the power and
have been used ever since.
"This company was succeeded
by the Prosser Falls Land and Ir-
rigation company, which has oper-
ated the plant ior several years.
but is now confronted with a ser
,ious condition because OF certain
persons and corporations using
part of the water flowing in the
Yakima river for irrigation and
other DurDOseS For ceverc1 x,eo-c
last past, and since thecappropria-
ton of the Prosser Falls Land &,
Irrigation company, the quantity
Of water flowing at the intake OF
the Prosser irrigation and power
plant has been steadily decreasing
unit for the last two or three years
The Kennewick courier. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1905-1914, 1905-06-02

the company at Prosser has not
had halt enough water to operate
Its system at that point. Approp-
rlatlons and the use of water in the
upper valleys, which interfere with
and prevent this company from ex-
erclslng its rights are likely to be
tested in the courts as to their 1e-
gality before the end of the present
season, unless some permanent ar
rangements shall have been made
before the low stage of water this
year that will insure the Pro-ser
company a sufficient flow of water
to supply its needs. The water
users in the upper valley, whose
rights depend upon claims initiated
since those of the Prosser company,
are certainly resting upon a very
precarlous foundation, as they
would be i'll most dangerous pre-
dlcament in the event litigation is
instituted to test these rights, and
which the Prosser company claims
they will be forced to institute in
the very near future for self pro-
lection.
THE government and the state
have been measuring the waters of
the Yakima river for several years
past, and those measurements show
the total quantity of wafer at Pros
scr during four 10 six weeks Of a
dry season to be only two to four
hundred secord feet, that is to say,
from one-lourth to one-half the
quantity which the Prosser COM
parry IS now prepared to use and
claims under its rights of approp-
1AdtIOll anu use.
'There seems to be one solution
and only one and that lies in the
government ownership of the Sun
nyside canal and the storage of
water by the government i'll the
natural reservoir lakes at the
source Of the Yakima river. When
this is done and the Indian reserv
alton and the Sunnside country are
irrigated, it is safe to assume that
the seepage wafer which gets back
to the Yakima river below the Sun
nyside headgate will furnish the
Prosser company with the water it
needs and has a right to. The
water users above Union gap have
been discussing tie matter OF sign

MAY DISALLCN SELECTION.
Yakima Decision Likely to be Against
State.

Washington, D. c., May CO.
State Land Comm ssioner Ross of
Washington has been in conference
with interior department officials III
regard to bis states land selection
of $1,000 acres in the Yakima val
ley which land is to be reclaimed
under the Carey act.
The matter of whether or not to
allow this selection has been before
Secretary Hitchcock for some
weeks, but at the request of the
state action has been delayed await
ing further showing by Mr.. Ross.
The opinion prevails here that
the selection will not be allowed
because the flow of the Yakima
river has already been fully ap-
propriated, thus procluding any
more reclamation work in the val
ley under tie Carey act This
view is expressed by department
officials in touch with tie situation.
Mr.. Ross, however, denies that the
river is fully appropriated, ard for
this reason says he will fight the
department to the bitter end.
Neither Mr., Ross nor tie depart
ment officials would discuss the re-
suit of today's hearing. Should
Secretary Hitchcock refuse to ap-
prove the selection referred to, the
reclamation service, it is said, will
go ii to recover about 100, 900 acres
of land in the valley and make the
irri cation project a national one.

peared utterly and completely. No
complaint had been lodged with the

been seen lurking about, and it was

myself / believe that the truth was
exactly the opposite. I think that it

a SERIOUS MISTAKE.

Don't make the serious mistake Of
neglecting the signs OF a simple indi-
gestion.
You must know that even such a
seemingly unimportant matter as
wind on your stomach is much more
serious than it seems.
It is gas, the result Of the decay
Of the food you have eaten, which is
actually lying inside you, rotting, in
stead Of digesting, away.
Now, of course, you can easily ap-
preciate the horrible danger Of allow
ing mass of fostering food to lie in
your stomach and faint all the sources
of your life and health.
For, after putrefaction (instead of
digestion) has turned this food into
liquid (poisonous) form, your glands,
and other organs of assimilation suck
it up and distribute it through your
blood current into every part of your
body.
You see, these glands have no power
good in a case like that
They suck up all the stuff they can
get, and take it to the liver and kid
neys, leaving it to these organs to pu-
rify the whole reeking mass.
And these delicate organs then over
work themselves trying to clean out
the poison.
So then you have kidney or liver
| trouble.
And what they fail to get out, goes
| somewhere else, and poisons that part
may go to your brain and give you
a headache, or to your big toe and
| give YOU govt or rheumatism.
| And so on.
All because, when you found a slight
sign of indigestion, you didn s take
the antidote-Stuart' s Dyspepsia Tab
| lets.
You see, the whole proposition just
SINNERS down to this.
| 1t depends on yourself whether to be
sick or well.
One way to be sure, never to have
any of the troubles which always fol-
low in the train Of an attack of indi-
gestion, Is to-Diet.
Eat little. Eat nothing that you
know gives you any distress during
digestion.
Another way, not quite so strenuous,
is to eat what your appetite Graves
for, and still your stomach s distress
with Stuart s Dyspepsia Tablets.
Perhaps a combination of both plans
would give the best all round results.
But the main thing to remainder is
this: Never neglect Indigestion, for
if you do, you will surely live to re-
Another important thing is, that no
medicine of any kind will do you the
same good, for all forms of indiges-
ton, from the simplest to the most
complicated, that Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will.
They are not cathartic.
They are scientific.

Facts About Bananas

Under very favorable circumstances
q banana plant may give a stem Of
fruit in nine months, but it generally
takes from fifteen to eighteen months
for the average plantations to be in full

soils may need a rest in six or sever
years, while others may last practically
forever, rs in cases where periodically
