WALLER OF PULL
MAN SAYS ACREAGE HAS
DOUBLED IN FIVE YEARS.
Total Acreage Now Under Ditch APP
proximates $4,000 Acres-A
Statistical Report.

There are now 100000 acres of land
in this state under irrigation bitches.
This was the statement made by Pro-
fessor o. L. Waller of the washington
Agricultural college in an article fur
nished the statistical department of
the secretary of states office. Ac-
cording to Professor Waller the
amount of land under the ditch has
more than doubled within the past five
years. The last United States census
report issued in 1900 gives the acre
age irrigated in Washington at 1885,
47O acres The estimates made by
Professor Waller do not include extern
sions and high line bitches in the Yak
ina valley already surveyed, the es-
timated acreage of which is about
400, 900 nor does it include about $780,
900 acres now under investigation
outside of the Yakima valley by the
United States reclamation service.
There are more lands in this state
the elevation of which makes them
possible to irrigate,'' says Professor
Waller, than there is water to irri-
gate them. So it is safe to say that in
a few years every available source Of
water supply will be in USE"
The average yields of irrigated lands
are given in tons per acre as follows:
orchard products, s; potatoes, 10;
corn, LIS; hops, 1.25; miscellaneous, 5.
Average net returns are given at $50
per acre upon hay land and from $10O
to $500 per acre upon hops and fruits.

Crown Prince Occasion Of Great
Demonstration Today

BERLIN, June 5.-The crown prince
ante-nuptial fetes whirl along with
bewildering impetuosity. They have
converted Berlin into a city diffused
with rainbows Pictures of the crown
prince and his future consort CLEAN
The patriotic Germans are making
bedlam of the streets, and visitors
agree that never before have they seen
such extraordinary wealth ard brilli-
Pncy of decorations.
Great silken flags, with red and
black streamers, pennants of silver
and gold and festoons of cedar, choke
the air, resolving the sunshine into
partial shade. The decorations hang
thick in every thoroughfare and drape
every public square.
Saturdays link in the chain of regal
festivities was the arrival in the cap
Duchess Cecilie of Mecklenburg-
Schwerin. The crown prince with
numerous suite met the duchess, who
was accompanied by ner mother and
a number of attendants
The duchess was received at Bran
denburg Gate by the chief burgomast-
er and the city fathers and by 10C
young women of leading families, who
presented flowers to the future en-
press. The girls were dressed alike in
Gretchen costume, with their hair in
braids down their back.
Behind the crown prince and his
bride rode populations representing all
trades and occupations There was also
a numerous military escort consisting
of picked men from all of the crack
regiment quarters in the capital and
vicinity.
The public understanding that this
of the wedding festivities which every
one would be permitted to see, turned
out in enormous numbers. The cav
alcade moved through Inter den Lin
den from the Brandenburg gate to
the Bellevue palace. The route was
but three-quarters of a mile long, and
as a consequence every foot of the way
was filled with the crowds. Windows
and even single seats commanded fab
ulous prices, while housetops, trees
and other points of vantage were all
occupied by persons DESTROYS of see
ing the procession.
The Duchess Cecilie, riding in a
state carriage drawn by four snow
white ponies with outriders in royal
livery, was greeted all along the route
with hearty ovations. which she &C

the right and left all along the way
No less enthusiastic was the reception
accorded the crown prince
Large numbers of mounted ana un-

every part of the empire pitted their
strength against the masses of spec

the streets. There was little or no
disorder. however, and it was evident
that the people have entered into the
celebration of the happy national event
with intense enthusiasm. Singing So

MANS LIFE SAVED BY CUR DOG.
Attention of Travellers Is Attracted by
Winnings Of Faithful Animal.

MARVEL, Cal, June 5.-George
Long a we'll known prospector, owes
his rescue from a terrible fate to the
faithfulness of his mongrel dog, which
he picked up somewhere in the des-
ert. Long was in the Providence
mountains prospecting and came on
an abandoned claim, on which a tun-
mel had been driven some 25 feet, and
at the further end shaft had been
sunk perpendicular to a depth Of Is
feet. Long CROPPED his way into the
tunnel, never suspencting the pres
ence of the deep shaft, until he stepped
into it and fell heavily to the lower
level
No Chance to Escape
When he recovered from the shock
he felt about him, and soon became
aware that the shaft contained no tim
bers or other means to afford him ain
out steps in the side of the shaft, but
the rock proved too hand for this
scheme. ~: isH.'
All that night and a good part of
next day Long remained a prisoner in
the black cell underground. Occasion
ally his dog would enter the tunnel
and whine down the shaft, and would
then leave for the outer air.
When the old prospector had given
up all hope, and was contemplating
the use of his knife rather than face
slow starvation, be heard a human
being whstling to the dog.
Saw a Feeble Light.
Then he discovered light feebly
Pickering against the ledge above the
shaft, and the next ne knew he was
lying by campfire, and James Moor
land and two other prospectors were
bending over him.
1t appears that the dog had attract
ed the Prospectors to the mounth of
the tunnel by it's whining. Long had
swooned and one of the miners had to
be lowered into the shaft by his COM
panions to tie a rope about the un-
conscious miner in order to haul MIN
up
In the bottom of the shaft the min
ers found what they believed to be ru-
man bones, probably of some other
poor fellow, who had fallen into the
the shaft.

To all Concerned The Committee at Work
In Dead Earnest-Farmers Looking With
Favor on the Proposition And We
May Expect to Secure Factory
D EPRES ENTATINt.S of the Iaki-
\ ma Sugar company, c. w. Adams

REPREs ENTATlNES of the faki-
IN ma Sugar company, c. w. Adams
of Chicago, and G. w. Henry of
Denver, Colorado are here now to see
what our farmers propose to do in re-
gard to signing up the necessary
acreage to secure the location of the
sugar beet factory, and from the pres
ent outlook, it seems that we are reas-
onaby safe in saying that very little
effort will be required in landing this
manufacturing industry.
From what we are able to learn of
the proposed enterprise, if the amount
of acreage required, 1000 acres. can be
secured in due season, work will be
started on the plant shortly, so that it
will be ready to manufacture the crop
1896 into sugar.
The contracts are printed and in the
hands of the committee, and >. L.
B0edcher is leaving no stone unturned
in caring for the best interests of both
the farmer and manufactures, and If we
succeed in securing the factory, it will
be very largely cue to the untiring and
ceaseless work OF Mr.. Boedcher.
The committee consists of S. {.
Boedcher and Mat Bartholet of this
CITY and C. S. Rankin of North Yaki-
ma. who will visit the farmers and fix
up the contracts.
REPORTS from all sections of the
country where beets are grown for SUI
gar purposes are very encouraging and
the farmers find the growing of sugar
beets very profitable crop.
The following clipped from the Dunn
County News, of Mich, shows what
is being done there;

The report on file in THE DAWN

that the growers there received all the

A detailed statement from 67S growers

Those plants should he transplanted

ruary is the month in which cabbage
seed is generally sown. This is very
important part of the business, as a
great deal of the success of the grower
depends on the good quality of his
plants. 1t is my opinion, cabbage
should be sown in boxes in two inches
of soil; there should be two inches of

half sand and half loan. BY this
method you prevent altogether or part

fungus, but when when this fungus APP
pears, the grower had better throw
away his plants, or all those al

from new seed will be a great deal bet

Next comes tomato and egg plants,
which are sown about the 18th OF
March. | would advise for them fresh
manure right from the barn, as the
season is advancing then, and it is not
necessary to have heat for any great
length of time. Tomato and egg plants

bage plants come to sufficient size to

should be transplanted in cold frame,

affect their growth. These plants may
be picked out to the distance of one
