The Future Of Wapato.


Standing prominently today in the
center of an extensive area OF rich ir-
rigated farming lands Is the attract
i've little city of Wapato, where not
many months ago the wary red man
alone reigned. The rich resources OF
the country tributary to this point
has caused this city to develop with
a substantial growth that IL nearly
beyond conception. It is not exper-
fencing a BOOM" as is liable to be
supposed, hut is endeavoring to GRE
ate a growth to meet the demands Of
the surrounding country. It extends
the hand Of welcome to every voca-
ton. The city was formerly known
as Simcoe, and Is located on the main
line of the Northern Pacific railway,
and on the Yakima Indian reserva-
ton, commanding about two-thirds Of
the irrigated part of the reservation.
The townsite comprises eighty acres,
and is owned and controlled by Mr..
George s. Rankin and Mr.. Alex. r.
McCredy who purchased the land
from an Indian, who had been grant
| ed a patent to the same, and the priv
lege OF selling the land for townsite
purposes. With all these facts at

ton for the establishment Of city
The business association of these men
is known as the Wapato Development
Co. Located as It Is, 1t ia safe to
say that Wapato is offering today
some Of the grandest of inducements
for the investor, the homeseeker, the
laborer and the business and profess
sional man. The following facts
| should be sufficient confirmation Of
this statement: Wapato has a four
room schoolhouse, with one hundred
and eighty pupils in attendance. The
best of water Is obtained at depth
Of not over twenty feet. A gravel
| strata underlies the entire townsite,
Drainage is good. There 10 a natural
fall Of about fifteen feet to the mile
at this point. This assures a healthy
location, second to none. Over one
half the land Under the reservation
canal is subject to five-year leases.
Wapato is the shipping point for
Parker Bottom. Several hundred car
loads OF fruit and other products are
shipped out of that place each sea-
son. Some more new buildings are
now under construction. and many
more are contemplated. There ID

extension of the main canal, for
which the money has been appro-
priated by the Indian Department;
5000 acres o. highly developed land
lies in the Parker Bottom country,
across the Yakima river from Wapa-
to; 1000 acres more are to be wat
cred by the new ditch of the Union
Gap ditch company, which Is now
completed. A grand total Of 10000
acres! This Is more land under ca.
nails tributary to one point than can
be found in any other place In the
state.
This country now has over 10000
acres of land under constructed gov
eminent irrigation canals, and % 900
acres additional that will come un-
der extensions to be made, will make
the grand total of $4,000 acres avail
able that are directly tributary to
Wapato, and no other town. In adj
dition to this vast area of farming
land lying directly tributary thereto,
there are about $4,000 ocres more w.
ing southwest of Wapato that are
equally distant between Wapato and
Toppenish. II but one-half of this
land Is credited to Wapato, 1t leaves
that place in absolute command of
~ 900 acres on the Yakima Indian
reservation, and not less than 1000
acres in the famous Parker Bottom
country--the best Of fruit and hop
lands--to depend upon. This infor-
nation may be somewhat startling to

pudding is the eating"

which will be followed as time goes

Of eighty acres each OF these allotted
lands. This will amount to $40 acres

MIGRATING climate. Now that the
east is beginning to realize that they
are idly sleeping while great changes
have been taking place in the west
among their active brethren, the trip
to the northwest is becoming more
popular from season to season, and
the settlement of this rich country is
developing with wonderful rapidity.
The vast returns that reward labor
and productive effort of any kind,
this section in particular, is more
abundantly endowed than any other
region of equal extent in the United
States. These vast resources require
the aid of both the large and the
small capitalist to develop. The re-
wards that await such effort in this
region are truly beyond the dreams
of avarice. Men have come here with
practically no capital, and within a
few years have found themselves
comfortably situated and enjoying
the blessings Of life. The mere reach
ing out Of your hand may mean great
changes in your life. Don't stand in
the rear ranks and criticize; come to
the front and investigate. 1t re-
quires an effort to accomplish any
thing, and II great is the reward
thereof, you may pat yourself on the
back with hearty applause for your
great remuneration. The natural ad-
vantages of this country are really
remarkable, and to the far-seeing,
present golden opportunities. This
country possesses soil that Ia not
surpassed for productiveness, and
fruits. vegetables. hay, grain and pro-
duce of every kind can be grown in
great abundance. The average crop
of alfalfa per acre Is eight tons, from
three crops each year, and the aver
age Of wheat Is about nifty bushels
per acre. Where can you beat IT?
The climate IL about the same as II
found In any other part Of the valley.
The winters are never too cold. nor
the summers too hot. Spring comes
early. Flowing is often done In Feb

Lynch, Fort Simcoe, Washington
Hundreds of white people are now

thousands of dollars are distributed

suffering. Sophronia E. Richardson was

al was conducted at the house Tuesday
