IRRIGATED LAND In ThEt SPOKANE
VALLEY

The Spokane Valley extends from
the city of Spokane for about 30 miles,
with an average width of five miles,
reaching Occur d'Alene City, on Occur
d'Alene Lake, to the southeast, and
Rathdrum, Idaho, to the northeast.
The soil is similar to that of the
famous Rhine Valley in Germany,
with this difference, that while the
Rhine Valley has been cultivated for
thousands of years, the Spokane Valley
is practically virgin soil.
Spokane is the distributing point
for eastern Washington and northern
Idaho, has population Of $1,000, and
from it electric lines are being con-
structed to all parts Of the valley,
which will Soon be one vast suburb OF
the city itself.
Irrigated land in the western part
of the valley is now worth $500 per
acre, while in the eastern part, where
water is now ready for use, it can be
had for about $3.50 per acre. Alfalfa
and semitropical fruits of all varieties
grow to perfection in this district.
The proximity of Spokane makes
this an exceedingly desirable PROPOSE
tion.

dealing with this and other districts
along the Northern Pacific BY, ask

CANNING INDUSTRY
NEEDED HERE

Anything that makes it easier and
better for farmer to dispose Of the
products of his toll not only is of vast
interest and a source Of profit to him
but to the whole community as we'll.
The interests of the city man and the
farmer are and of a necessity must be
mutual. Every industry added to
Grand Rapids is of value to the
farmer and helps to build up stronger
home market for the farm. The home
market is the best market, and that
is the market that our people should
cater to and encourage. This reminds
US that one of the most needed in
dustries in Grand Rapids is canning
factory.
1t will not only give employment to
many of our people and our farmers a
ready market for their farm products,
but it will give new impetus to
farming. Industries of this kind will
increase the value of farm lands
quicker than anything else. A canning
factory is needed industry and
proper inducements should be held out
to secure the location of such a plant
in Grand Rapids.

A Balky Cow.

The citizens of Grand Rapids, In the
vicinity of'the Gardner block Tuesday
enjoyed watching the maneuvering of
balky cow that Chas. Eberhart of
the town of Grant was trying to lead
through the city to the Northwestern
depot to load into the cars. Appar-
emily she was not in the habit of
being led and getting into the city
where the surroundings were all
strange to her; she was truly a bad
actor. She kept Charlie guessing
as to whether he was riding bicycle,
automobile or race horse. She was
constantly butting into teams,
persons, telegraph and telephone
poles and made things pretty lively
around the corner of Geo. T. Rowland's
grocery store. Talk Of contrariness,
she beat anything we ever saw.

TRAINING SCHOOL NOTES

Miss Anna Charmley who completed
the work in February is teaching near
New Rome.
Examinations, Thursday and Friday
of last week closed the third quar- ter
of the years work.
A reunion Of graduates and students
will be feature of the coming
commencement week.
Nineteen students are now taking
practice work in the city schools and
more will begin work later.
We are sorry to hear that Miss
Mary Olson '05, is sick with typhoid
fever and has been obliged to give up
her school.
Rev. Kneen, of Pittsville, visited us
Monday, and was invited to address
the school. All were pleased with
what he said.
We are anxiously awaiting the class
letter. 1t was down to "M's'' the
last we heard of it. Those who have
seen it, say it is very interesting.
Applications are already being
received for seats in the Training
School next year. AS the number is
to be limited it is we'll TO be in time
with the application.
The Wood County Normal has closed
another successful quarter. There
has been full attendance all the year
and there will be large graduating
class for the coming commencement.
Judge Gaynor's talk to US two weeks
ago was timely and interesting. Mr..
Gaynor has given great deal of
thought to methods of teaching and
still more to the principles underlying
the methods.
Miss Beamyae O'Brien 'O4, is with
us during her vacation. doing special
work in Algebra for that second grade
certificate. Miss O'Brein is teaching
near Oshkosh. At the county institute
of Winnebago County, she won a first
prize for composition work.
The Literary society is doing ex-
cellent work now. When we compare
the work in speaking before the
school now, with that done at the
first of the year, we see plainly the
value of learning by doing" Our
talks before the classes during the
year have certainly prepared us to
stand before school when we go out
to teach.
"You ought to see Miss Smith
teach school, is what a resident of
Friendship, Adams county, recently
said concerning the work of Miss
Mamie Smith '04 who has charge of
the Primary department there. Miss
Smith and Miss O'Brein are the ones
of the class of '04, who are teaching
outside of Wood County.

Does. the statutes contain such proviso?s From the deputyss own statement the only way to enforce the lawsis is to cut down the official force, or in other words: cut off official graft: Supposing the deputy had all the assistance asked for, has he the lega}right to barter and sell the privilege of violating the laws?

Cores .! po!ndence

Rampant, Alaska, April I2, 1902. , EDITOR FORUM: was somewhat amused upon reading an article in the Fairbanks News ofsrecent date, which : sta ed that Deputy George Dreibelbis. had announced that gambling will not be permitted on the creeks in that pre- cinct, and that the deputy said he had ~acoed solely on. his own responsibility when he ordered gamblingon the creeks to close. The deputy also said he ''con- i. sidered police surveillance absolutely, necessary where gambling was allowed, and he had neither the men or time to such things the attention they require. This announcement of the deputy seems to be in the nature of threat, that if the Department of Justice did not allow the marshaPs office more deputies, he will be compelled to enforce the gamb- >iing laws as they appear in the code. On the other hand, it may indicate the deputy contemplates the manipulation of the same graft at Fairbanks as he attempted and partially succeeded in working at Rampant.
 do not understand how the deputy marshal can legally take it upon him. self to publicly announce that it rests with him to permit, or not permit, violation of congressional laws. T pre- sume if every citizen in Fairbanks pre- cinct was deputy marshal then there would be no restriction on gambling or any other violations of the statutes. I know that this same deputy marshal tried to manipulate the gambling money at Rampant by threatening everybody Swho gambled with criminal prosecution, thereby having it generally understood that all gambling must congregatez at -the private games where the deputy marshal personally took a hand. More than one man has been put on the bum \ through gambling with Deputy George Dreibelbis at Rampant. The deputy was very lucky at cards and very little money. got away from him at these games The deputy intimates that the flaw cannot be violated and gambling carried on unless he has more assistance in protecting the violators; that he has 7not the time 60 look after the games himself.

A WEARY WILLIE STRIKES RICH

Ike Irwin, a pioneer ranches OF
Duckwater, Nye County, died in
1898, says the Sentinel, At the
of his death he was known to have
some money buried, and his family
estimated the amount at from 81 600
70 Al 200. A thorought search Of
the premises did not uncover any of
the hidden treasure and it was some
years before part of it was found.
A new house and blacksmith shop
were built to take the place of the
old and in tearins down the old
buildings little over $500 in
money was found, The rock
chimney that graced the old home
stead was left stending until few
weeks ago, and its demolition
Grated quite sensation on the
creek. About month ago a man
of the "Weary Willie" type stopped
at the Irwin ranch and asked for
work. and was Accommodated. He
gave bis name as L. st. Clair.
The creek bottom where there
was ford across was soft and it
was decided to have st. Clair put it
in better condition, using for this
purpose rock the in the old chimney
on the hillside. On a Friday he
began tearing down the lrndmark
the next day he went to Jeese
Mende's store and made a number
of purchases, including a horse and
cart, and flashed up a handful OF
gold. Sunday he returned and
found some twenty ranch hands
lettering about the places and he
set up a banquet for them. When
tue iollifcation was over St. Clair
went back to the ranch and gave
Miss Imogene Irwin 5000 to keep
for him. This created a suspicion,
and soon reports came to the ranch
of his doings the day before.
An investigation was started
and it was learned that st. Clair
spent about 1925 at Mende's on
Saturday and Sunday. The money
was in $5 and $40 pieces and 1857
was the latest date on any of the
coins.
Miss Irwin refused to give up the
5000 entrusted to her, whereupod
st. Clair went to Tonopah aud con-
suited lawyer. Armed with legal
documents he returned and the
the money was given him. nc
then left for Tonopah.
