Settlement of Water Rights.

1t is said that Chef Engineer F.
H. Newell of the reclamation ser
vice made the unqualified state
ment at Portland that government
project would be undertaken in tie
Yakima valley immediately When
ever the settlement Of water rights
in the river was effected.
We have no doubt that Mr.. New
ell did make this statement; that it
is the desire and the intention OF
the reclamation engineers to build
great government irrigation works
in this valley, and that the under
taking waits now upon nothing but
tie acton of our local irrigation
interests.

newick with cargo of 500 sacks of
wheat foundered and sank in about
five feet of water at the Homely
rapids about nine miles below Pas
co at 4:Io p. M, Saturday. Sept. 2,
1905 According to Captain Dan
aher's official wreck report the
cause of the accident was the total
failure of the engineer to obey sig
nails from the pilot house. The
boat was of seventy-four ton gross
weight and is owned by Todd &
Cover of Tacoma, and is valued at
81, 500, and her cargo is valued at
$65o.oo.
The management have not yet
decided whether her hull will be
raised or just the machinery re-
moved. The cargo has been thrown

John I. Cover has gone to Port
land for conference with Mr.. Todd
and future action will then be de-
cided upon. The Open River as
ISOLATION have agreed to bear por-
ton of tie loss. Positive assurance
is given that either the Gerome or
a. other boat will be put OH the
river to fill the company's schedule
at once. The accident is an especi.

KENNEWICK COURIER
Fixed Channel From Wallula to Celtic

A party of sixteen government
surveyors and engineers landed at
Wal,ula from Portland Saturday
night and today will commence
surveying out a practical fxec
channel in the Columbia river from
Wallula to Cello, a distance of
nearly 100 miles. The work is be-
ing done in connection with the
government work in opening up
Three Mile, rapids to navig CATION.
! The work mapped out for sur
veying the river will probably take
two months to complete. The party
, is we'll equipped for long outing,
being accompanied by commissary
wagon and necessary sleeping &C
commodations to make the trips
one of pleasure as we'll as hard
work.
A trianguIatlve survey OF the
river will be made and a fixed chan
mel chartered, DISTINCTIONS in the
channel will be carefully noted and
an estimate Of their removal sub
United in the final report. The
work will be done under tie super
vision of Captain A. r. Frieze of
the United States army.
The work of removing obstruc-
tons to navigation at Three Mile
rapids will be resumed this week.
About twenty men are employed at
present, but this force wi be in
creased within a few days in order
: to finish the work by the next high
water.
The main obstruction to be re-
moved is a point of rock at the
head Of the rapids. About twenty
five feet of it will be removed and
after that is done it will give the
boats a long and easy swing into
the channel.
Camps have been established at
| Cello and active work will becom-
menced on the canal in about ten
days. About 800 men will be en-
ployed and the work prose cute d
with the utmost speed. Union.

School Announcement.

1t is certainly very desirable that
kennewick should have a good high
school-one that will be a credit to
the town. The board is anxious to
do everything to establish such a
school. but has been handicapped
by the fact that prospective high
school pupils have not reported.
1t is determined that the 9th & 10th
grades at least should be organized
The board is anxious tn have the
nth grade. TODD so it is Necessary
to employ another teacher for high
school work. The board will do
this if enough pupils report them
selves ready 10 take the nth grade
work. 1t is hoped that the pupils
and citizens interested will take
the matter in hand and see that all
pupils report i'll person at school
Monday morning, or if impossible
to do that, see that their names are
sent to the principal. 1t is urged
that all the nth grade pupils pos
slble report for work. If enough
report for the nth grade the board
will at once secure a qualified
teacher to act as assistant principal
IN the High School.
The 9th, 10th and nth grades
with two teachers will be a much
better school than one having the
9th and 10th grades with only one
theacher. A good high school of
3 years work done by teachers
will add much to Kennewick as a
desirable residence town. The
parents and pupils Interested
should act or Monday. The prin-
clpal wants the names of the pupils
OF the 9th and 10th grades as we'll
as of the nth grade. Let them be
present, Or report by note, on Mon
day.
