Minneapolis Wednesday morning, Where he
had been taken for an operation. He died
just after the operation was performed.
The body was brought to this city to day for
interrnent, This sudden death is but another
evidence of the fact that life is transltory and
feeting and that in the midst Of life we are
il DEATH" Only one short week ago and
Frank was with us in apparent good health,

THE NEW COURT HOUSE.

Our old friend and former business
associate, the editor of the Prosser Bull
letin, is in a very dangerous condition;
his ailment not only worries but alarms
his friends and we'll wishers. He is at
tackled by appendicitis in its most dan
gerous form. Not the common, every
day appendicitis, but that virulent form
of the complaint which has grown and
Bwelled to the enormous proportions of
great big four story, s250,OO0 court
house appendix. A diagnosis of his case
iting and consulting physicians after
long and serious consultation in the Of
flee of DR.. Angus, have decided that an
operation Is necessary to save life; that
the surgeons knife must be used with
no sparing hand; that the only method
of saving the valued life of our old
friend is to bisect Yakima county. The
editor of this paper has no desire to be
arraigned for manslaughter; and rath-
er than be accessory to the demise of
20 great and good man, of in any way
being one of the causes inhicting so
great and irreparable loss upon this
community by opposing county division.
BY all means, we say, 'let her divide.'
Anything to save life, particularly one
90 absolutely necessary to our civic and
%
times wonder how it is our county has
managed to exist, grow and prosper all
these years without that gentleman's
guiding hand at the helm. We have an
abiding grudge at the state of Montana
and Tom Carter for keeping him east of
"the Rockies" so many years and thus
depriving Yakima county of his coun.
sci and advice
But he has been with us for a few
months. 1t is his proud discovery that
all the intelligence of the county is in
tine happy village of Prosser and all the
wickedness and greed in this unfortun-
ate city; that it is preferable to have
the public records, representing mill
ions of dollars, in constant danger of de-
struction, than for safe place to be
provided for them; that it ia more hon.
orable to misquote the law and villify
honest and able officials than to tell
the truth; that an appeal to passion and
prejudice is better, truer journalism
Than the cold, hard facts.

DOES WANT ASSUR-
ANCE.

In writing to the Herald regarding the
irrigation legislation proposed for the
state, Congressman W. L. Jones says in
a letter received yesterday: "......The
Yakima Indian reservation will be
thrown open to settlement. My under
standing is that there will be large
tract of land which might be irrigated
if we could have ditch running around,
say along the Buringame canal, up
through the town, and then tunnel
through the hill. Only reconnais-
sance, of course. will determine the
amount of land that could be irrigated
under a proposition of this kind. but it
certainly would be very large, and while
I am not an engineer, am constrained
to believe that the only question about
its feasibility would be the water sup
ply; in fact, think it would be very
cheap proposition from financial
standpoint. There is no doubt, how
ever but that water would nave to be
stored in large quantities in order to
put it in. That such proposition would
be of immense benefit to our country,
North Yakima and Yakima county,
needs no argument, and it seems to me
that our people should try and devise
some way by which the government can
feel justified in taking up proposition
of this kind. The reconnaissance will
be made this summer by the geological
survey people with the view to determ-
inc the feasibility or praeticability of
this proposition. l cannot conceive of
anything that would be of more bene-
fit to our country than the Inauguration
of this work, and do hope that any ac-
ton that is taken will be taken with the
view to the accomplishment of
this if it is at all possible to do So If
it is practicable to get the water for
the land and if there is sufficient land
to warrant thee expenditure l am ALSO
lutely certain that the department will
take it up. The character of tine land.
its condition, and the amount of it which
could be covered by ditch of this
kind if constructed are as well known to
our people as to myself, and they are
just as able to judge of its Importance
as l am"

heve, the contentious of Attorneys

,alled to consider the proposed irrigation

called to consider the proposed irrigation
code, and which were to the effect that
no officer of the federal government had
right to interfere with the internal
policy of this state regarding irrigation.
The federal government mas never at.
tempted to dictate to this state its pol
icy regarding irrigation or any other
matter, so long as the state kept within
its constitutional limits. Under the
Newlands act of 1902 certain fund was
created or provided from the sale of
federal lands, which fund is set aside in
the different states in the arid regions
for the purpose of assisting those states
through the medium of irrigation, and
there is now in the fund belonging to
this state s3,5OOOOO to be expended in
irrigation projects for the benefit of the
whole state; and the government is us
ing every means at its disposal to dis
cover suitable and feasible propositions
for the expenditure of that money in
this state for this purpose. The fed
eral government is in the position of
trustee in the matter of this expendi-
ture. 1t is obliged to know, therefore,
that this money when expended in the
state of Washington will inure to the
benefit of all the benefciaries and not
to some private party or corporation, to
the exclusion of other citizens of the
state. 1t is in the position of a man
who wishes to spend money upon a
tract of land claimed by a ward for the
benefit of that ward, and of course, such
party must know that the title to the
land upon which he proposes to place
these improvements is absolute in his
ward, the beneficiary. And that is all
the United States government is ask
ing; that this or any other state will
pass such laws or take such steps as
will enable that state to present an alb
stract of title demonstrating that the
title to the water right it proposes to
use is in the people of the state for
the benefit of the people of the state,
and not in the hands of persons or
corporations who hold them for specu-
lative purposes and private gain.
In this requirement the officers of the
federal government are simply acting
with wise and necessary provision and
foresight. They are simply taking and
requiring such precautionary measures
as any sound business man would do UNI
der similar circumstances.
