Der who is removed or becomes dis
qualified to act. To guard against
any abuse that might arise from the
exercise of the right to elect their

that could be devised to meet presen,
conditions.
1.-The tax collector is to be elected by
the board OF aldermen and placed un-
der the authority and direction of the
Finance Committee. He is to be PAID
a salary of one hundred dollars per
month"; it is believed that this VIII re-
move great deal of embarrassment
now occasioned the tax collector aris-
ing from the fact that he is elected
by the people and that many people
that work for him at the election
make requests for indulgence in the
payment of their taxes as personal
favors. Under the plan proposed by
Their charter tax tax collector has only
to say that he is acting under the di-
rection of the board of aldermen ana
finance committee. Attention is called
to the fact that the board of audit and
finance and the election of the tax COL
lector by the board of aldermen has
heretofore been recommended by the
finance committees of the city of Raj

There have been several minor
changes which cannot be noted in this

also insert a provision allowing the

RESTS WITH LAND OWNERS
NOUNCES INVESTIGATION ON
OKANOGAN PROJECT
Claimed Land in That Section Will
Stand an Expenditure of Sixty
Dollars Per Acre

This is the latest word from the rec
lamation service in regard to the
Okanogan irrigation project:
I'm case the Investigations now in
progress do not develop a material in
crease in the present estimate of the
cost of construction, the project will
rest largely with the land owners and
their readiness to comply with the re-
quired terms"
1t is already We'll known that the
land owners are enthusiastic in favor
of this project, even going so far as
to say that the land will stand an ex-
penditure for irrigation of $50 to $50
an acre, writes Walter E. Clark, news
paper correspondent at Washington,
D. c. This statement is made by the
reclamation service, the paragraph
quoted above being the concluding
sentences:
Would Yield Large Returns
observations of water supply and
related Investigations on the Okano-
gan project, Washington, are being
pushed by the dictrict engineer, to the
end that detailed estimates of cost may
be presented to the land owners.
THE irrigable lands consist of $4,000
acres of varying quality, lying in Sc
ries of benches between the Okanogan
river and the hills surrounding the
towns of Alma and Riverside. The
water supply is believed to be INSULT
cient for the proper irrigation of more
than 10000 acres, $500 acres of which
are already irrigated.
THE limited area Of the tract and it's
location in the heart of an extensive
range country which would be depend
ent upon it for it's winter feed, would
insure a profitable and permanent
market for forage. The lands are also
we'll adapted to the production of de-
ciduous fruits and nuts, and when Gull
tivated in these products would yield
large returns. Lands near Wenatchee
Of a similar character with adequate
water supply are worth from $3.50 to
5000 per acre.
Increase Land Value.
1.-The climate is mild, but some
years the exceptional depth of snow
prevents the feeding of stock on the
range. The growing season lasts about
SIX months and light crops Of hay or
potatoes can be raised without irriga-
ton. The present value of non-irri-
gated land is about IS per acre; when
irrigated from $40 to 500. Three crops
of alfalfa, producing from four to six
tons per acre, are harvested, and tenn
perate fruits, small fruits, vegetables
and wheat are raised. The fuel sup
ply is practically unlimited on account
of the heavy growth of timber in the
hills and mountains
Lumber for building purposes can
be obtained at reasonable prices-$8
to $15 per thousand, board measure, at
the mills, which are located at various
points for convenient hauling. Good
markets are found in Seattle Tacoma,
Spokane and Alaska.

farm units will be SMALL
