A COMING IRRIGATION SECTION

Lying adjacent to the Columbia river
and not far from Wallula, Wash, in
one of the richest agricultural regions
of the United States, is a territory
which promises soon to become one
of the greatest fruit, vegetable and
hay producing regions in the north
west. The future productiveness and
value of land in this region is assured
by the low altitude and the early sea-
sons which permit the maturing and
ripening of fruit and vegetables before
the produce of any other section in
the state is ready for marketing, al
lowing the grower as a result to de-
mand better prices and reap larger
profits. Like all of the other largest
producing sections of the northwest,
this one is essentially an irrigation
proposition, and the settlers are as
sured of perpetual water rights for
their lands by the Columbia Canal Co.,
which has built one Of the best con-
structed and most modern irrigation
canals north of California. The COM
pany obtains an ample and inexhaust-
ible supply of water from the Wa1la
Walla river, which drains over 2,OOO
square miles of the Blue Mountain
range and the table lands of eastern
Washington, Oregon and Idaho. The
tributaries of this river extend back
to the snow-line, and an abundant sup
ply of water is always obtainable the
year round. The company's canal is
fifteen miles long and waters land in
the Walla Walla river valley as we'll
as much land in the Columbia river
valley lying between Wallula and Pas
co.
These lands are undoubtedly among
the most valuable that have so far been
brought under irrigation in the state

countries In the world for the raising
of nuts, including English walnuts,
pecans and almonds, as we'll as many
fine fruits, like peaches, apricots,
prunes, ounces, apples, pears, cher
ries, grapes, berries and melons. Vege'
tables of all varieties, including sugar
beets, have been grown here with
large tonnage yield to the acre, and
tobacco can also be successfully grown.
Alfalfa Yields four cuttings Of an av-
erage of eight to ten tons per acre ana
timothy and clover and other hay and
grass crops flourish in abundance,
making dairying and stockraislng
profitable industry.
The Columbia Canal Company's dam
liz feet wide at its base, 20 feet
high and 155 feet long-is all con-
structed of solid concrete above the
rock bottom of river. The head gates
are of steel, set in concrete. con-
crete wall protects the canal for severai
thousand feet below the head gates.
The main canal follows the Walla Wal
la valley from the head works to wal
lula, covering valley Of 1000 acres
in area; thence north along the east
ern border of the Columbia valley, COW
ering an area Of ten thousand acres,
along the Columbia river. The canal
is IA feet wide on the bottom, feet
deep and 80 feet in width at the top,
the slopes being one and halt
to one, having a conveying capacity OF
double the amount of water required
to irrigate all of the land under the
canal.
The chief center of business and
METROPOLIS of this section is Alfalfa,
which is a. new town located at the
junction of the Northern Pacific, the
Washington and Columbia River, ana
the o. R. & N. railroads. The town is

also at the head of navigation Of the
lower Columbia river and offers the
best shipping facilities enjoyed by any
town in southern Washington. A water
and electric light plant is being in
stalled and the Columbia Canal Co.,
which owns the TOWNSHIP, is offering
lots to the public at very reasonable
prices, when it is considered that this
promises to be one of the best inland
towns in Washington.

Interest in walnut culture in Wash
ington and Oregon is on the increase,
and many who own land are setting
aside portions of same for walnut or
chards. Realizing these conditions and
anticipating a good demand for seed
walnuts, the Oregon Nursery Co., of
Salem, has issued a book on walnut
culture, which they will send free to
those readers of The Ranch who will
write for it. This book describes their
special strain of Franquette walnuts,
which they assert is the hardest and
best for the northwest. When you
write for the book please mention The
Ranch.

To Republicans;

We are anxious to have every repub'
lican in close touch, and working in
harmony with the republican national
congressional committee in favor OF
the election of a republican congress
The congressional campaign must be
based on the administrative and iegis
lative record of the party, and, that be,
ing so, Theodore Roosevelt's personals
ty must be a central figure and his
achievements a central thought in the
campaign.
We desire to maintain the work OF
this campaign with popular subscrip'
lions of one dollar each from republi.
cans. To each subscriber we will send
the republican national campaign text
book and all doucuments issued by the
committee.
Help us achieve a great victory.

The little town of Hartville is still
having trouble. The city election held
some time ago did not appear to do
the business It was calculated to per
form. Judge Hauphor, who was
mayor prior to the election, declined
to give up the office on the ground that
the candidate who claimed the cleo
ton was elected by fraud. The dis
trict court, Judge Carpenter presiding,
held that 1t was incumbent upon Wilde,
the claimant, to prove his title to the
office, and there the matter stands,
since its incorporation and is 10th to
let go the reins of government.
