About Piano Playing.

.
The old masters were men of spe.
cialties. Many Of them did something
for some particular point of :ecn-
nique. Clement and Mozart exploited
finger agility; wrist and arm motion
was the hobby of Cramer and Mosch-
eles; Kalkbrenner was great in octave
stroke; Kullak was almost a pioneer
in the matter of free forearm; Deppe
made his name famous by his propa-
ganda of a STRAIGHTFORWARD and devital-
lied hand; Leschetizky specialized on
the singing pressure touch; and Os-
car Raft, of dumb thumb" fame was
noted for his octave skips.
Today the artist world demands all
around performers. The player who
is good only in Bach or Chopin is
heard only with liberation The teach
err who is bound down to method"
is behind the times. Eclecticism is
the watchword of progress in Music as
we'll as everything else.

is probable that Tietan ditch will
be constructed first and the other
canals be constructed later.
1t may also be recommended
that the government purchase the
Sunnyside canal. The object of
having the report in by Nov. 18th
is to enable the interior department
tn decide by December 1st, when
the option on the system expires,
whether the purchase will be made.
The recommendations of the re-
c!amation department will cover
Yakima and Benton counties and
that part of the valley lying in
Kittitas county. The whole valley
will be benefited by the work that
the government will in all proba-
billy take up at an early date.-Re

TO KNOW SOON.

nh. government reclamation serv-
r.. will soon be ready to make an
announcement to the people that
an irrigation project will be taken
nm in the Yakima valley. Things
are now shaping themselves in that
direction and we will soon know
what will be done here, or at least
will be given an idea of what it is
possible for the government to do
in carrying out the various schemes
under investigation.
Some of the leading men of the
reclamation service are enthusias-
It'd over the way things are going.
While they are not giving out data
they are giving out information
that leaves no doubt about what
will be done. Everybody seems to
Jbe getting together on the various
questions for amicable settlement.
The decision of the government
depends on the adjustment of the
water rights in the valley. This
nuf 3tion is now reaching a point
wsere settlement will be reached.
The basis for this settlement has
been agreed on and it is now con-
fdently expected the question will
be adjusted without the least
trouble.
A water users association will
be formed by those who own land
under the Tietan ditch. A blauk
agreement has been drawn up and
is now in the hands of an attorney
for consideration. This agreement
will be signed by those owning
land to an amount over I6o acres
and is in effect that they will agree
to sell all their holdings above that
amount.
!, The consulting engineers, with
Mr.. Henney at the head, will make
a report about the middle of Nov
ember. They believe that they
will have everything in shape to
reach a conclusion at that time.
Those who are familiar with some
Il !, he data obtained express them
selves as certain that a favorable
recommendation will be made. 1t

Bridge Notes

The piling is all driven for the third
bent and with the larger force work is
being pushed rapidly. The fifth span
is becoming very much weakened and
the railroad company has All addition
al force of its own ut work this week
stiffening it up for the traffic until the
contractors gang reach it. Some piling
will have to be driven under it at once.
Next week the truss work above will
be pua in on the first span and the
scaffolding removed to be used again
further across the river.
Both swinging cranes will be used in
handling this material and in addition
a traveller will be put the full length
of the bridge.

Parties at Moscow have built a
machine that they expect will
greatly simplify harvesting opera
tions. It is combined harvester
built on less extensive line than
the machine now in use, and it has
been demonstrated by the model
built that four horses can handle
it and put the wheat in the sack as
cheaply as it is now put in the
shock by the binder. A success

a great thing for the wheat farmer

Contract Let For North Bank Road.
Seims and Shields, of St. Paul.
have been awarded the contract for
the construction of the Portland &
Seattle's new road down the north
bank of the Columbia to Portland.
The Portland & Seattle concern is,
of course the Northern Pacific, and
few officials of either company now
trouble to deny it. The statement
that the contract has been let to
the St. Paul firm is based on the
best authority and is not open to
question.
Further, the work of building
the line is to be rushed. Stems &
Shields have handled a number of
large contracts, and they have a
national reputation for fast work.
Porter Brothers, of Spokane, will
do the grading. Seven crews are
now in the field. 1t was at first
decided that the work would be

THROUGH LINE ESTABLISHED.
Steamer Columbia Will Now Operate
from Cello to Kennewick.


With the trip of the steamboat
Columbia from Cello to Kenne-
wick, the first through line ever
established is in operation from
Portland to the Inland Empire.
Freight can now be shipped thru
to Portland by transferring over
the portage railroad. Arrange
ments have been completed for the
handling of wheat from the north
west wheat belt to Portland via the
D. P. & A. N. from Big Eddy to
Portland.

President Elliott Announces Build
ing of North Bank Road. Ken

The Great Northern and North
ern Pacific Railway companies will
build railroad as rapidly as men
and materials will permit from

of the Columbia river to Vancouver
The line is 23o miles long and

Will Be Short Line


The new road from Kennewick
to Vancouver will be 23o miles in
length. This will make the line
from Portland to Spokane 375 miles,
some IS miles less than that of the
Oregon Railroad & Navigation Co.
The approximate cost of the new
project is s., 600, 900. 1t can not be
completed in less than two years.
The bridge across the Columbia
will be built at Vancouver, at cost
of approximately $1,ooo,ooo 1t is
probable that this will be a draw
bridge. The road will then cross
the St: Johns peninsula, and the
bridge across the Willamette will
be somewhere near the town of St.
Johns. 1t will probably be a high
bridge, costing about 5000, 900.

of the rear windows and had a gun
on him when he awoke. While
one held the gun on him the other
tied him with belts and suspenders,
put gag in his mouth. then rolled
him up in all the bedding they

safe from which they secured moth

and secured his watch and SIS in

finally worked the gag out of his
mouth but could not raise anybody
and was compelled to lie there
bound and nearly suffocated until
the carpenters who are building an
addition to the rear of his store
came to work about 7 o'clock this
morning. On account of the roar
ing wind last night he did not hear
them until they mad effected an en-
trance and had thrown their bulls
eye light on him and covered him
with the gun. There is no clue
and their detection is unlikely.
