the nE1AM PROJECT
APPROVED BY ENGINEERS
The Scheme il Endorsed by Chief
Engineer Newell and the Sec.
retary's Approval Requested.

The report of the government en-
gineers to Chief Engineer Newell up
on the Tietan irrigation project IA
vored the Tietan scheme. Chief En-
gineer Newell has in turn recon-
mended the undertaking Of this pro-
ject by the government, and now very
little remains to be accomplished be-
fore actual construction commences.
A favorable report was expected,
however, and did not come as sur
prise to the people of the valley. In
fact, anticipating the result, a COM
mittee has been at work ever since
the engineers concluded their inves-
tigation, even before its contents
were definitely known, trying to get
the water users to sign the govern
ment's proposed agreements and to
form water users association.
sary factor with the government pro-
jects in the valley. The recommends
lions of Chief Newell are contingent
upon this stipulation Of the reclama-
ton department being carried out.
Therefore it is plainly seen that the
APPROVAL of the Tietan scheme is con-
ditional. These obstacles, however,
are being removed with rapidity, or
at least as fast as the water appro-
priators of the valley understand the
situation. many large water users
have already signed the agreements,
and there is no opposition that has
thus far doomed up to retard the
government work. The approval OF
the Tietan project is the next i'm
portant step, but 1t is a we'll known
fact that the secretary Of the in
terior's policy will be to follow out
the suggestions of the chief engineer
in such matters.
The Tietan project contemplates
the irrigation of more than $4,000
acres of land. This land lies west
of this city, and is strikingly rich
section of the country. The total
cost of the canal, including the res
ervoirs that will be constructed at
Dumping Lake and in the Tietan
basin will be about $1,500,000, or
a cost per acre of something like $55.
The intake of the Tietan canal will
be in the canyon of the river. It's
course will be along the foothills on
the north fork OF the Cowychie, and
the south fork of the same stream.
The hill between the Ahtanum and
Cowychie valleys will be crossed at
the lowest point near the present
county road over the divide. 1t will
continue thence along the hills up
toward the Upper Ahtanum. An i'm
mense area of fine land Immediately
west of Mob Hill and in around the
headwaters of the Cowychie creek
will be covered by the canal.

TOWN or nABTOn
HAS BIe C0MFL AeRA1om
Loss Estimated at 916, 900, with But
Little Insurance-The Origin
Of the Fire Mystery.

The cry Of "fire" between the early
morning hours of / and o'clock
last Monday, october 30th, aroused
the sleeping Inhabitants Of the town
of Mabton to the full realization Of
impending disaster. An immense
conflagration for town Of that size
was spreading rapidly. threatening,
in fact, to destroy the entire business
portion. It succeeded in wiping out
of existence as many as eleven build
ings, creating total loss Of approx
imately $4,000.
1t is rumored in some quarters
that the fire was of incendiary origin,
but further than rumors, no one
seems to know aything about 1t. The
people fought valiantly, and even
the residents of the country for miles
around came in to assist their town
neighbors in confining the fire lin
its. Only the heroic efforts Of the
people kept the flames from doing
more damage.
Following is list of the property
destroyed:
The lodging house of David Hoag,
in the building owned by August
Selle, totally destroyed. Loss about
$4,000. with $500 insurance on the
building and contents.
Al Beilstein's saloon; loss, $4,000,
insurance $500.
w. NJ. Wommack's store building.
occupied by Otey's restaurant; $500
loss on building, with no insurance;
$500 loss on stock, with 5000 in
surance.
C. Clark's harness shop, stock dam
aged $500, no insurance.
Leonard e Howell's real estate Of
fee, loss $500; no insurance.
Dreamer and Bradford, billiard
hall, contents damaged to the amount
of $500: no insurance.
Phillips meat market, $1,000 loss
on stock and $500 on the building;
no insurance.
Frank Martins saloon, loss $4,000,
no insurance.
F. Fearl's pool hall, loss $4,000,

Observation-Disclosures;
My Visit to a Chinese Joss House.

Wy NISiO " NHIncSc JOSS TlOuSt.
(Florence Stephenson.)
had always wanted to visit Chi
nese joss house, so while in Victoria
last summer, l determined to visit
one before returning home Our
party thereupon got a guide, and we
started out for our destination.
When we arrived in Chinatown,
and came to the large building which
the guide said was the joss house
we entered very narrow hall and
began to climb high flight of stairs.
We climbed stairs for about a half
an hour, then entered large room.
1t was certainly beautiful sight that
met our gaze. The walls were of
pure white. A beautiful Brussels
carpet was on the floor, and small
velvet stools were all about the room.
There was large altar at the ex-
IRENE rear of this room, on which
was an image of a large god, made of
pure gold, decked with the most
costly jewels. About this chief god
were many lesser gods, though not
of pure gold, neither did they have
the adornments that the chief god
had.
We spent two very pleasant hours
here, admiring the many curious
things, but as it was nearing mid
night, We thought it best to leave.
We did so, each one saying that he
had spent pleasant evening.

occupied by General Washington,
during the siege of Boston. After
the revolution, it was occupied by q
rich family of Cambridge, and was
bought from them by Longfellow,
when he became professor at Harvard
college. The house faces toward the
Charles river, and as Longfellow
loved to watch the water, he bought
the lot of land across from his home,
so that no buildings might cut OF
his view. The louise is of old CO.
lonial style, surrounded by beauti-
fully kept grounds and overhung by
gigantic elm and oak trees.
We now mounted a flight of steps
steps. but in place of modern door
bell we found an old-fashioned brass
knocker. A very pleasant looking
lady answered our summons, and re-
ceived us with genuine new England
hospitality.
AS we entered, we were shown a
door to the right which leads into the
great poets study. On going into
the room we saw that it was plainly
but richly furnished with old fash
toned pieces of furniture, a few very
valuable pictures on the wall. with
here and there pieces of rich bric-a-
brac.
Our hostess first called our atten-
ton to two chairs. The first is the
one in which Longfellow sat when he
wrote "The Children's Hour" The
other is the chair which was made
from the old chestnut tree mentioned
in "The Village Blacksmith. The
tree was blown down in a heavy
wind, and. out of love for him, the
school children of Cambridge had the
tree made into a handsome chair, and
presented it to him as a token of
their appreciation. Longfellow then
wrote a poem to the school children
showing his gratitude for their gift.
Our attention was next called to a
large picture of Indian life, the
frame of which is birch bark. This
was presented to Longfellow by a
tribe of Indians. who gave it in mem
DRY of the story of Hiawatha.
Near window which faces the
street is an old-styled writing desk.
We were told that it is here that he
wrote great many of his poems.
Also. in little recess on the same
side of the room, we were shown a
nlgh desk Where LOngfellOw stood to
write. 1t was his wish to have this
desk placed here, so that he could
look out upon the Charles river. All
of the great poets writing materials
were lying on the desk, just as he
left them. In fact, nothing, as far
as possible. has ben changed in the
| room since he died.
Having seen all the things of great
est interest in the room, we did not
wish to detain our hostess any long,
err. but as we were passing out she
was kind enough to call our atten-
ton to an old stairway in the hall.
with a grandfather's clock placed on
the first landing. We recognized at
once the clock which is mentioned
in his poem, 1.-THE Old Clock on the
Stairs" This stairway is not only
mentioned in this poem, but in the
poem, "The Children's Hour" which
is SO well liked by children.
Thanking our kind hostess, we
took our leave, never to forget that
memorable visit to the home of Hem
ry w. Longfellow.

Restaurant Closes Its Doors.

The Yakima Valley Restaurant, in
the Wilson block, closed its doors
last Thursday. Mrs. Wilson, the pro-
prietress, turned the keys over to
her attorney, Logan H. Roberts, and
he has been attending to her cred
itors. The restaurant was opened
just before fair week. and the failure
was caused by lack of patronage and
lack of capital, together with the fact
that there was not room for two bust
ness mems dining rooms up town to
enable them to compete with the
Orientals successfully. Mrs. Wilson
tried hard to establish a first-class
place, and her friends sympathize
with her in her failure. She has re-
turned to her sister on the Coast.
