FOR BIG BANQUET
Already Eighty Plates Subscribed for
Commercial Club Dinner.

Present indications are that the an
nual banquet of the Commercial club.
which is to be held on the evening Of
Topeka Day, December 5. will be one
Of the most successful affairs of its
kind that has been given by this or
ganization.
1t is only within the last few days
that the special committee in charge
of the affair. of which Major Tom An
derson. the secretary of the club, is
chairman, sent out notifications to the
members of the club of the fact that
the banquet was to be held and asking
them to notify the committee of the
number OF plates they wished to en-
gage
Up to noon today eighty plates had
been asked for, and at the rate the the
requests are coming III BY mail and
telephone it is likely that more than
double this number will gather around
the festive board
As was the custom last year, when
the occasion was most enjoyable, the
wives and women friends of the mem
bers of the club can participate in the
feast. and many OF the members who
haVc already engaged plates have sig
nified their intention of bringing their
wives. and they have also been gener-
Gus in taking an extra ticket for guests
which the club may wish to invite.
These guests are to be limited to the
officers Of the various commercial
bodies within the confines of the state
1t is expected that the responses
from the mem bers of the club as to
whether or not they will attend the
dinner will have been received by to-
morrow and then a meeting of the
banquet committee will be held for the
purpose of deciding on the details Of
the affair and especially as to where it
shall be held.
The chances are that the number Of
banqueters will not be so large but
that accommodations for the banquet
can be provided in one of the hotels in
the city. After the location has been
decided upon the committee will get to
work on the details for the banquet
such as making out a list of the invit-
ed guests and also a toast list will COM
prise the men prominent in the COM
Inercial affairs of other important
business centers of the state.

From an economic standpoint, how
ever, the islands are not in what I
would call a good condition This is
occasioned by the fact that there is no

WATER PROBLEM AT DUFUR.
Protest Followed by Investigation by
the Government,

The flourishing little city Of Du-
fur is without a satisfactory water
supply, and steps have been taken to
secure the same from springs at the
head of F'fteen-Mile creek, says The
Dalles Chronicle. These springs are
situated on the forest reserve and the
matter was taken up with the DEPART
ment of the interior. Farmers along
Fifteen-Mile creek entered a protest
on the grounds that 1t would interfere
with the flow of the stream and de-
crease the water supply. The interior
department sent special agent to in
vestigate the facts. and hearing was
held at Dufur Friday.
Riparian owners along the stream
below Dufur We're represented by D.
j. Cooper, James Fulton, E. d. Colby,
Richard Brookhouse and George
Rice. and Hon. w. H. H. Dufur and
Charles Balch represented the owners
of the stream above the town, while
Phillip Knowles, Hon. T. H. Johnson,
Lane Smith and others.
Special Agent Cahoon opened the
discussion by stating the situation and
that In company with a company of
Dufur citizens he had visited the
springs. 1t was found that with one
exception the springs at this time
gave their overflow to Fifteen Mile
creek, but that later in the season
sank into ti& ground. Where the
waters went sitter it sank into the
ground Mr.. Caiioon confessed he had
no knowledge. The riparian owners
insisted that on account Of the natural
slope Of the country that the water
must find its way through subter-
rahean channels into the stream,
The visit of Special Agent Cahoon
was, OF course. to gather the facts in
the premises, which will be reported
to the interior department. What his
recommendations will be and what
action the interior department will
take, is, of course, purely matter of
conjecture at this time.

FIRST RAIN IN FokTY-Two DAYS
Came I'm Yakima County I'm Abund-
ance When RndlY Needed.

The rain that came at noon today
was a soaker, says the Yakima Rs-
public of May II. II was just what
has been needed in Yakima for the
past six weeks. The precipitation was
very heavy. At the time of writing
this article rain was still falling and
the indications were that there would
be plenty to satisfy the wheat growers
of the Horse Heaven country.
The first rain that fell in six weeks
was that of Sunday night This laid
the dust and frightened the aspect Of
the landscape. But at noon today
storm came up from the south. ac-
companied by some wind and the re-
port of thunder but there was no
lightning seen here while the rain was
falling. Rain began to fall at 1880
and for over half hour IT poured
down.
Reports from the lower valley are
that the rain was heavy. II is possi-
BILE that rain also fell in eastern Wash
ington. where it is needed to help the
suffering wheat growers. The soil
has been very dry here. While the
Yakima farmers depend on irrigation
for their crops they want rain at this
season of the year to help them along
and to keep down the dust. The last
rain here was March 81. Since then
the roads have been several inches
deep in dust. .
There were fears that the water in
the streams might be short this sum-
mer for the snow was light on the
mountains Rain is needed to keep
up the supply. If the usual June
rains come there will be very little
danger of a shortage this season.
