BIG RAILROAD MEN DROVE OVER
THE NEW IRRIGATED SEC
TON YESTERDAY.
Rather a Dusty Trip, but Was Greatly
Enjoyed-"Jack" O'NeiII Says It's
Big Thing for WalIa WaIIa.

General Passenger Agent A. L. Craig,
Travelling Passenger Agent Jack
O'NeiH, General Agent Robert Burns,
of the o. r. & n. and President F. w.
Paine of the Walla Walla Irrigation
company spent yesterday driving over
the Gardena contoured tracts being
promoted by the Walla Walla Irriga-
ton company and inspecting the big
canals and pipe line which is to sup
ply water to the new section from the
Walla Walla river.
The party went to Touchet station
Saturday night in Mr.. Craig's private
car The trip over the Gardena coun-
try and up to Pine creek was made by
team and proved a pretty dusty jour-
ney, as heavy wind prevailed
throughout the day. The big railroad
finally arrived at Touchet in the eve
ming, although every one of them de-
clared that they mad enjoyed the trip
immensely.
Il was greatly surprised at the mag
nitude of the irrigation operations be-
ing promoted by the Walla Walla r.
rigation company and I predict that it
will mean big thing for Walla Walla, -
Mr. O'Neill said this morning. THE
company has just completed the pipe
line across Pine creek and water will
be turned onto the Gardena tracts
within a day or so.
Il am convinced that the Gardena
tract will prove to be one of the most
productive irrigated sections in the
west, as the land is very rich and free
from sand. With water there is no
produce these lands will grow. We
drove all over the Gardena tract and
also visited the pipe line across Pine
creek. The canals and pipe line are
as substantial as it is possible to make
dhem and there is no doubt in nv mind
that the company will have more than
enough water to irrigate the lands il
proposes to put under the ditch. Mr.
Craig was greatly pleased at the out
look and predicted that Gardena will
be one of the richest irrigated Sec
lions in the west"
Mr.. Craig and Mr.. O'Neill will leave
this evening for Pendleton, where they
wiz attend the Oregon Good Roads
convention which convenes for a two
days session tomorrow.

SPOKANE SPORTING MAN AP-
PLIES TO GOVERNOR FOR FIVE
HUNDRED DOLLARS
Was Seized by the Sheriff When He
Raided Green's Gambling House
Last Summer

doc" Oh. g. Brown made $500 by
moving from Spokane to Portland.
while Harry Green lost a similar sum
by remaining in Spokane and the lat
ter has applied to Governor Mead to
get back his half thousand, declares
an Olympia report. The money. by the
way, according to the petition, was
secured by the Spokane sheriff by a
practical holdup of Green's gambling
house, and was taken from the bank
roll" of the house. 1t has gone into
the treasury to help in the education
of the children of this state and law
yers say it cannot be returned without
an act of the legislature specially au-
thorizing it.
The case is an incident of the pros
eucution of w. A. Lewis, a former
Spokane lawyer now serving sentence
in the state penitentiary for robbing a
client. This week Governor Mead de-
MED Lewis a parole. When Lewis was
first arrested ne was released on bond
and Green and Brown each went on his
bond for $500, other bondsmen sign
ing but having no property. Lewis
disappeared, and weeks afterwards was
captured in Colorado and taken back
to Spokane for trial. The bail was de-
clared forfeited.
Brown had gone to Portland and es-
capped paying. Green's place was visit
ed by the sheriff, and Green says he
was "bluffed' into paying the $500 by
threats to attach his cash drawer, alias
bank roll Later Lewis secured
dismissal of the first case on a techni
cality, was arrested on new Informal
ton, tried, found guilty, and sentenced
to the penitentiary.
Brown and other bondsmen appealed
to tthe supreme court from the order
declaring the bail forfeited, and the
supreme court held that the bond could
not be forfeited, in view of the tech
nicality in connection with the first
dismissal. Now, Green is trying to get
his money back and has filed a lengthy
petition. The money long ago went
into the school fund, whence it may
only be disbursed to Green by act of
the legislature, making an appropria-
ton.

Engineers in the FieId-Word has
been received in Walla Walla that a
force of engineers and surveyors are
Quitting at Portland preparatory to
taking the field for the purpose of COM
pleting the survey on the lewiston
Riparia branch. The outfit is ex-
pected to leave Portland today for Ri
paria, where supplies and material are
already said to have been delivered
for the use of the engineering corps.
Plans, it is said, have already been
prepared for completing the lewiston
Riparia line this summer. The move,
it is believed, is taken for the purpose
of heading off the Lewis Grangeville
electric line, which will be operated in
connection with a line Of steamers
on the Columbia and Snake rivers from
the portage road to Lewiston.

MILLIONS ARE SENT HOME,
Immigrants from Austria Hungary
Sent Over $4s, 10000 o in
Ten Years.

The immigrants to the linked States
from Austria-Hungary have sent back
to that country in the ten years between
1894 and 1903 more than S48,0 0O, 900. OF
this vast sum the immigrants from
Hungary sent back s31, 1872, 0SO, while
those from Austria sent to their rela-
tiyes SIG, 982, $3.50. In 1894 the amount
sent back by the immigrants of both
countries was $1,327, $50. This had
grown in 1903 to $40, 5S6, 900; In fact,
there has been a steady Increase since
1894.
In addition to the sums sent into the
country through what are known in
Austria as home banks" from Amer
lea each year, a large amount is remit
ted through American banks without
the Intervention Of Austrian or Hun
garian institutions, or in cash or postal
money orders. The entire amount re.
ceived in Austria-H Hungary In 1903 from
emigrants that had left that country
for other countries was s32, 77S.004.
1t is estimated that the Italian immi-
grants in the United States send back
TO their homes annually a sum equal to
about. $780, 00. 900. An indication Of the
Importance of remittances so made is
found in the business of Italian postal
savings banks with savings institutions
for Italians in foreign countries. But
the full amount sent into Italy cannot
be kept track Of In this way, for IL Is
well known that considerable amounts
are SEN in paper money by registered
mail or are brought into the country by
returning immigrants. Fraudulent
banking concerns have caused great
losses to Italian immigrants, both In
this and other countries In the past.
These were usually run by Italians.
To prevent all this an act was passed
in Italy in 1901 authorizing the Bank
of Naples to take charge Of remiitances
from emisrtnts, thus guaranteeing
them safety and regularity in the rams
mission of their money. This bank has
since established correspondence Offices
for the management of emigrant bust.
ness. there being Sc of these Offices at
the close Of 1903. A recent bill In tho
Italian parliament. providing for the
appointment of resident agents In for
eign countries to manage the remit
tances of Italians failed to pass.
This immense amount Of money How-
ing into Italy annually from Its emil
grants has already had a marked in

a tired look. Now, when the rebel
