The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1905-11-01

Montana, Nevada, and even Colorado
and Wyoming have reaped a large
benefit from the fair, and will continue
to feel it's benefits for long time. On
the whole, it means the addition of
hundreds of thousands of people to
those states known as the Pacific
coast section. With these additions 1T
follows as natural consequence that
our wealth will be greater, our indus
tries will be larger, latent resources
will he developed, and new railroad
lines will be built into our section.
What is perhaps the most remark
able thing about the exposition, aside
from the influence it has eXerted on
the upbuilding of the country, is the
financial story that will always be re-
lated about the Lewis and Clark eX-
position when comparison is made
with other expositions held on similar
lines. Six months ago the most san
euine official of the fair dared not pre-
dict an attendance for the season eX-
ceeding 1000 900. The result has sur
prised every one, whether connected
with the exposition or not. Inc at
tendance for the entire period reached
545.5OO. The attendance for the last
exposition day, October 18th, was o6,-
$50 which was the third largest at
tendance for any one day, Portland
dav and the Fourth of July being the
other two banner days. In conse-
ouence of such large attendance
President Goode has had the pleasure
of announcing to the stockholders Oh

will make productive some 10000
acres of fertile soil and will bring into
the country hundreds of new settlers,
thus building it up and greatly in
creasing the wealth of the country.
1t is understood that the system
planned for the storage of the waters
of Salmon creek contemplates the use
of Conconully basin as the principal
storage reservoir, the capacity OF Sal
mon lake being increased very little
The route by which the water will be
carried to the prairie will be down
Salmon creek to point near Clover
where it is to be diverted into large
canal. A little farther down this canal
will be divided one branch to be
known as the high line" carrying
water to the higher benches at the
north end of the prairie, and the other
carrying water to the lower lands.
1t is devoutly hoped that this prof.
ect. which has now been all but &C
cepted by the government for carrying
out. will be the entering wedge by
which several other much needed prof.
ects will be speedily taken up and
set in motion. Washington irrigation
matters have to a large extent been
neglected by the government. All the
irrigation work that has been carried
on here has been done by private cap
ital. while at the same time this
state has been contributing millions
of dollars to the government reclamaS
ton funds, receiving not dollar in
return This money has been largely
diverted to irrigation work in other
states. But it is quite evident that
from now on our state will receive
consideration at the hands of the re-
clamation service. Senators Ankeny
and Piles recently made tour OF the
state. and it was impressed upon them
that irrigation work was one OF
our imperative needs. 1t is reasonable
to believe, therefore, that the matter
of government irrigation in Washing
ton will be looked after better here
after by our senatorial delegation in
congress.

Matchmaking, Engraving and Optics

WatCnmdkiIIS, Lily aNi'S e''A OF~'o
The teaching of the above three sub
jects has been taken up in Seattle by
j. A. Carlquist, who had considerable
experience in the same lines before
coming west, and who is we'll known
in the east. He maintains the Seattle
Matchmaking, Engraving and Optical
School at room Is, the Pr. building,
where he is building up prosperous
school. The instructors are expert
enced in their respective lines and the
students receive the most careful
training to fit them for becoming ex-
pert watchmakers and repairers, gold
and silverware engravers, or opticians
The demand for experienced men and
women in these lines is growing, and
there is a good field in which to en-
gage. The Seattle Matchmaking, En-
craving and Optical School places its
students in positions after graduation,
thus enabling them to begin earning
money Immediately after they leave
1t is an interesting experience to make
a visit to this school, and anyone
visiting the city should call there and
inspect the work being done.

excels all other similar expositions,

Okanogan Irrigation Project Wins Out.

At last the government has taken
partial recognition of the needs OF the
Okanogan country in the matter OF
irrigation. The government engineers
who have been looking into the
project have drafted a report stating
that the project is feasible, and if the
officials at Washington concur in the
recommendations of the engineers the
irrigation canals in the Okanogan will
be constructed The approval of this
project is of particular Importance,
because, if undertaken, it is the first
work of the kind to be done in the

The persistency with which people
of the Okanogan valley have been after

ing fruit. The whole valley is reJoic-
ing at the prospect of soon seeing the
government digging big irrigation ca
nails through it's midst.
The Wenatchee valley should not
harbor any i'll feelings against the
Yakima valley because the fruits from
the latter carried off the principal
prizes at the late Interstate fair at
Spokane There will be another such
fair year hence, and we suggest that
Wenatchee try again.

THE OLD CLOCK

3 That did time in the corner of So. Main and Union streets is among the missing. We are sorry to lose the old standard as it did its duty good and faithful in all kinds of weather and many a disappointed face is visible since the old clock has disappeared. Knowing how much the public appreciated that public time piece we have installed in our north window for the use of the public, an electric clock It, is guaranteed strict ly accurate, getting the time from Washington every morning. And the only restrictions we make is that the girls must at all times look at the clock and refrain from looking at the mirrors. If you notice I piled lot of very choice Wines with very tempt ing prices. I put those there to have the men look at. I will take them down next week but remember you must not rubber. By the way did you see the nice goods we got in our win dows this week. You will see that the prices are astonishingly low, bet ter take your pick while those low prices prevail. If you do not see what you want outside just step in. Re member we carry everything in the Wine and Spirit Trade.

BRITISH DISTILLERIES INSPECTED.
Mr.. Wiley Tells of Authorizations Permitted
in Whiskey for Export.

London, Aug. 11.-Harvey w. Wiley, chief of
the Bureau of Chemistry in the United States
Agricultural Department, returned to-day to
London, after a six weeks trip of inspection of
the distiIleries of Scotland and Ireland, by or
der of the Agricultural Department.
Mr. Wiley said this evening that he had re-
ceived every facility both from the British gov
ernment and the distilleries. He said that he
found the conditions of manufacture excellent,
and by far the greater part Of the whiskes
ported TO America of splendid quality. While
there is thorough government control over whis-
kies manufactured in Great Britain. the blend
ing of any ingredients is permitted in whiskies
intended for export. Whiskies entering the
United States, said Mr.. Wiley, are submitted
only to the alcoholic test. which does not
clude cheap adulteratons.
What quantity of impure whiskey is shipped
to America annually Professor Wiley is unable
TO ascertain. He said that the greatest evil
however in America not imported whskies
but those manufactured and mixed in the
United States, which only the enactment of a
thorough interstate commerce law could rem
edy.
Mr.. Wiley will go to the Continent to inspect
the wine industries of Germany and France
He will be a passenger on the Campania, which
sails for the United States on September 8.

Thrilling Time During Big Storm.

passengers in the steerage suffered greatly from
fright and lack Of pure air
For the safety OF all aboard the stateroom doors
were locked and the matches leading to the steer

precaution made the passengers realize that the
storm was unusually severe. and they kept within

was a terrible hurricane that raging. but was
thoroughly scared when 1 saw the ships officers
taking such unusual precautions
The first blow struck the liner early in the morn

al noon developed into hurricane that threatened
disaster.
Captain Krech remained on the bridge for thirty
six hours. Nearly every officer board refused to
sleep and when not deck mingled among the
