adopted for this purpose had 1T not
been too small. 1t would have been
put a drop in the bucket when COM
pared with the large quantities used
in irrigation. This unit represents the
quantity of water which would cover
an acre to the depth of one foot Since
there are 43,560 square feet in an
acre an acre foot contains that many
cubic feet. Rainfall is measured IN
depth over the surface, and of late
years the tendency has been to mea-
sure water for irrigation the same
way. One frequently hears it stated
by practical irrigators that 40 acres
of spring wheat will require 40 miners
inches. But this statement conveys
no definite idea as to the actual
amount of water applied to the field,
because the number of days the
stream has been allowed to run on
the field is not given. When one
states, however, that 60 acre feet were
applied to the two irrigations it shows
that a certain definite volume of water
was used during the stated periods
and that this volume was sufficient to
have covered the 40 acre tract to
depth of one and one-half foot.

To Cut Up an Old Farm.

A transaction took place on the
steps of the Whatcom county court
house the other day which may be OF
wide interest to the pioneers of the
Northwest. A section of school land
140 acres in extent was sold by Ref
cree Victor A. Roeder. The property
borders along the Marietta road, is
located near Marietta and is known
as the Edison Gerry estate.
The successful bidder for the prop
erty is H. L. Bateman, of Bellingham,
and his tender was $12 100. The OPP
posing bidders included the WhatcOm
Realty Company, Nolte Bros, e. l..
Gaudette and L. NJ Biles. According
to the terms of the sale ten per cent.
was paid down and the balance is to
be forthcoming when the court con-
firms the sale.
The estate has had rather a unique
history. Almost from the day in
1885 that one Daley squatted on this
property it has been in litigation. The
strip is included in the school land
area of the state. The property was
once occupied by what is known as
the Marietta school, and Edison Gerry,
who afterwards came into possession
of the land, determined on the place
as a site for university. 1t is stated
that Mr.. Bateman acted as an agent
in the purchase and that the land is
to be cut into acre tracts and placed
upon the market.

placed on such grade that the average
rate of flow of water within it would

that the old fashioned measure of our
grandfather's time is no longer used.

and more for labor than they DO in
the east. Then we are in a new, de-
veloping country where more changes
are required and new work installed.
AS our country developes no doubt the
conditions will change. We have al
ways had efficient officers and our line
man is a practical rustler. Mr.. K. ID.
Young, secretary and treasurer OF the
association, says: ''We are on the
high road to success. In fact, we al

How to Measure Water.

Newcomers to a country where
crops are raised by irrigation are often
puzzled by the terms used and meth
DDS employed in measuring water. The
following from a circular prepared on
the subject by T. e. Lowery will be
of interest and value to many man

Cubic foot per second-The stand

Hon. David r. Francis, president of
the ST. Louis fair, has been visiting
the Lewis and Clark fair at Portland,
and on his return he took in a num-
Der of the principal cities on the coast,
including Seattle, where he remained
a while. He considered the Portland
fair a great success and was full of
good words for the entire Northwest,
particularly noting the push and ener-
gy of its people.

FEDERATED CHURCH AT suNNYs1DE.

There have been like changes in the
devices used to measure water and
while we still retain the term miners
inch" we seldom ascertain the flow
by the miners inch box
For small streams of water such as
are applied to orchard and garden
land, the miners inch is a convenient
unit and there are advantages in con-
tinuing its use. In adopting a new
standard the members of our state
legislature foresaw the extended use
of the low unit and so defined it in
accurate terms. Forty miners inches
are about the exact equivalent of one
cubic foot per second. An irrigation
stream containing so miners inches
would be described as two second-feet
by the new standard and so on.
Twelve gallons per minute is equal
to one miners inch.
Acre-foot,-The second foot and
miners inch can only he used for
water in motion. 1t is often con-
venient in irrigation to describe a GER

4 brush lying between SunnySlde
and our nearest railroad point,
Mabton, on the Northern Pacific, has
always been a barrier in the way of
our development. From the start we
were building railroads and dreaming
of airships, or the more tangible trOlly
lines. But the real thing we have been
against for all these years. To meet
trains eight miles away was one OF
our difficulties and from the start we
were feeling the need of telephone.
For two years my people were revolV-
ing the question. We correspondent
with number of cooperative eastern
companies. We concluded in the
spring of 1900 to establish a line.
There were only four subscribers, S.
J. Harrison, D. B. Eby, S. H. Miller,
and the writer. We gave our lnd1-
vidual notes to an eastern party for
$1OO each and this gave us a fund
to start with. When we were ready
to build the line we had 18 instru-
ments spoken for. 1t was supposed
from the information at our COM
mand that $50 from each subscriber
would build the lines-and on this
basis we began operation
The business was done in the name
of S. j. Harrison and the line was
really owned by him but the under
standing was that it should be
peoples or cooperative line After
two years we saw that our member
ship or subscribers fee of $50 was
not sufficient. We then had 62 sub
scribers and we were about $1,000 in
debt. We then organized under the
name of the Christian Cooperative
Telephone Association. 1t was sup
posed that as the longest lines were
built the heaviest expense had been
met and that our debt would reduce
In the next two years our subscrib-
ers almost trebled, we then having
1877 phones. But the Indebtedness
had increased to about $4,000. 1t was
then decided to charge $75 for future
phones. This for a time reduced the
business, but inasmuch as the books
of the company have been open from
the start and as it was known that no
one had reaped any benefits it was
very generally satisfactory. We now
have 209 phones on the line.
We have about 80 miles of line and
we cover the territory between Union
Gap, five miles below Yakima to Eu-
cid, about six miles above Prosser,
being about 38 miles of the valley
This is the widest part of the valley
and when developed will be the larg-
est irrigated section under present
bitches in the northwest. Our line
runs to three stations on the North
ern Pacific, viz: Mabton, Toppenish
and Wapato. Of inland places we have
Parker Bottom, Zillah and Belma. Be-
sides these are Sunnyside and Grang-
er, which will be on the new railroad
line which is nearing completion. We
sustain two central stations, one at
Sunnyside and one at Zillah. One dol
lar and thirty cents a month has been
the expense to each subscriber the
past year. This covers interest as
we'll as operating expenses. We have
free use of our entire system. Those
who are we'll posted seem to think
we have good service.
There are 80 phones rented, for
which We get $500 a month rent. This
is all a larger expense than we had

COMMISSIONER GARFIELD's report on
the beef trust was communicated to con-
gress by the president and probably does
not meet the expectation of many peo-
Dle. The report relates to six OF the
large packing concerns. Among other
things it says: That the average net
profit 10 1903 for three of the companies
was 80 cents per head; that the year
1902, instead OF being one Of exorbitant
profit, was less profitable than usual;
chat during the months when prices Of
beef we're the highest some OF the lead
ing packers were actually losing money
on every head slaughtered The changes
i'm the margin between prices of cattle
and beef are in themselves no indications
whatever of the change in profits, says
che report. Prices and conditions for
the years 1902, 1903 and 1904 are review
cd, and the conclusions are stated that
Che six companies especially discussed
are apparently not over capitalized; that
the percentage of profit on the gross vol
ume of business is comparatively small,
and that during the years 1902, 1908 and
1904 Swifts & Co.'s profits have not ex-
ceeded per cent of the total sales;
Cudahy & Co. is stated at 1.6 per cent.
Cor 1904 and 2.3 per cent. for 1902.

LII THE exchanges which come to our
desk reflect public sentiment in any de-
gree, President Albert Salisbury of the
Whitewater Normal school will become
next state superintendent. The people
OF Wisconsin are evidently going to
seize the opportunity TO secure a man of
his knowledge of educational problems,
his recognized integrity, and his ability
to accomplish things, for that most i'm
portrait position. Much has already
beer done for our schools, but much still
renaifls to be done. The normal schools,
university, high schools and graded
schools have all come ia for their share
OF attention. Under Supt. Harvey's SUI
peFintendence, the county training school
and agricultural school movement was
snaUg9rated and much was done for the
graded school. Both Of these move
meats need to be encouraged and con-
tia4ed3 and the rural school, still largely
uatoUched, sadly needs attention Presi-
deEt Salisbury is not only to be in thor
0ugh sympathy with this idea, but by
hie long experience and thorough famil-
Earity with Wisconsin conditions and
people is particularly we'll fitted to take
up this work where Supt. Harvey drop
pod it. We join in the belief that the
state of Wisconsin would greatly profit
