PROMINENT WALLA WALLA
FARMER SUccUMBS TO At
TACK or PNEUMONIA.
Caught Severe Cold While Returning
Home a Week Ago From Ex-
tended Eastern Trip.

After a short illness of only a week,
James McInroe, one Of Walla Walla
county's best known and most highly
respected farmers, died at the family
residence. 103 Touchet street this
morning. Mr.. McInroe returned to
Walla Walia only week ago from an
extended trip to various eastern points.
On his journey home he contracted a
severe cold which developed into an
attack of pneumonia. Despite the
best medical attention procurable his
condition rapidly grew worse and it
was seen last night that he could not
survive the attack. The end came at
8: 80 this morning.
Mr.. McInroe mad been a resident of
Walla Walla for 40 years. He was
born at Corning, Stuben county, New
York, March II, 1S41. At the age of
IA years in company with his parents
he moved to Wisconsin where he lived
for 10 years. In 1866 in company with
Judge B. L. Sharpstein and a number
Of other hardy pioneers he started
across the plains for Walla Wa1la, ar
irving here late in the fall of that
year.
The next eight years Of his life was
spent mostly in the mining regions of
Lob To h0
summer in the mining camps return
ing to Walla Walla in the winter. In
1873 he gave up his mining enter
prises and purchased what is known
as the Valley Grove farm, one Of the
finest sections of farming land in the
county, located near Valley Grove.
Since then he mas engaged in farm
ing exclusively, amassing a comfort
able fortune by dint of hard work and
thriftiness.
Politically Mr.. McInroe was a dem
ocrat. From 1892 to 1896 he served
on the board of state penitentiary
commissioners, which supervised state
prison affairs. In 1892 he was a can
didate for representative from Walla
Walla county against Joseph Merch
ant. 1t was a memorable campaign,
Mr.. McInroe being beaten by only 30
votes. He was again candidate for
the legislature and was defeated by
John B. Wilson. Last year he was
candidate for county treasurer, but the
strong republican majority in the
county prevailed and with number
of other democratic candidates was
forced to acknowledge defeat. AS
man Mr.. McInroe had no peer in
Southeastern Washington.
The funeral will occur from the
residence at o'clock. The services
will be conducted under the auspices
of the Odd Fellows. Delegations from
the knights of Pythias and Elks will
also attend, Mr.. McInroe being prom
inent member of these orders.

HAS OPENED UP AN OFFICE At
NORTH YAKIMA FOR HIS
HEADQUARTERS
United States Government Reelamtion
Service Officials Have Long
Summers Job.

Engineer T. A. Noble, of the recla-
nation department has arrived in
North Yakima to open temporary Of
fees for the present. He will put in
most of his time for the next few
months making AIN investigation of the
various Yakima projects and a large
force of men will be constantly en-
ployed. The work under way will be
very exhaustive and it will not be un-
til next fall that an answer as to the
governments intention in regard to
the building of an irrigation system
for Yakima is announced.
1--WE expect" said Mr.. Noble, 'to
have complete knowledge of all condi-
tons in this valley by next fall, and
to be able to report definitely upon the
feasibility of the various projects here.
We shall have a party in the Tietan
distract, another in the Ledbetter pro-
ject, and a third in the upper valley.
We snail also have several parties out
classifying lands.
'It is not true, as has been reported,
that the headquarters Of the reclama-
iton service of this state will be re-
moved to North Yakima, but as most
of our work this summer will be done
here, we snail probably open offices for
the time being, and our headquarters
would be removed here if it were de-
cided to undertake one of these pro-
jects.''
Mr. Noble says he is DESTROYS of ac-
comprising a comprehensive and prac-
teal plan for the utilization of all the
lands that can be brought under wa
ter. If any project is undertaken it
will be a part of a greater plan which
will be worked out as time goes on.
He said every project in the valley
would have to stand on it's merits. The
engineer and the users of water have
not yet come to an agreement about
adjusting water rights. Nothing will
be done in the valley until the ques-
ton is settled, except to make inves-
legations.
