YAKIMA TO CELEBRATE
Will Have Big Time Over AppovaI Of
Tieton Irrigation Project by
Congress

North Yakima, March 30.-Several
merchants of the city gathered last
even ing to act upon the suggestion OF
Congressman Jones, that the entire
valley should celebrate the approval of
the Tieton project. Telephone COM
munication with Prosser, Ellens burg
and Sunnyside resulted in those cities
agreeing to join in the event.
Preliminary work was star ted and a
delegation of two men from each city
in the valley will be asked TO meet in
this city within ten days to make ar.
rang ements for big time. One sug-
gestion met with approval, that was
to build a series of tremendous bon-
fires on all the hills surrounding the
valley, so that their reflection might
be seen for almost a hundred miles
iu every direction, even to the ex-
tremities of the valley that will be
covered by the irrigation proposition.
Suggestion is also made that the
celebration be postponed until con-
gress adjourns 40 that the congress
men and senator's will be able to par
ticipate.
Among other ideas submitted was a
bar becue. A big public meeting will
be feature as we'll as large banquet
to be gwen under the auspices of the
Commercial: club of this city.

CONSIDERING SALE
OF PHILIPPINES
TO THE JAPANESE
1t is Declared That President Roose-
welt is Desirous Of Disposing Of
Our Island Possessions
Is Represented as Being Convinced
That They are Possessions and
not Parts of United States

Washington, D. c., March 31.-Al-
though Score tary Taft of the War De-
partment saw fit recently to deny the
reports that japan had made certain
oyerrures to the Cnited States for the
acquisition of the Philippines, corrob-
orative evidence is at hand that the
Japanese government has been desirous
of opening negotiation to that end,
and when former Governor Wright of
the Philippines goes to Japan as first
American ambassador to that luntry
he will be empowered by this govern
ment to enter upon further considera-
tioh of that proposition.
In fact, it is SAID, ON what ought TO
be unimpeachable authority, that the
selection of Governor Wight to repre-
sent the Roosevelt administration at
the japanese emReror's court was
clearly caused by Cps situation. Pres
ident Roosevelt, according 10 report,
desired to dispose of the Philippines
problems before the end of this present
term in the White House. He is rep
resented as being convinced that our
ownership of the islands as possess
ions not parts" of the United States,
is not acceptable to the people of the
United States, and will eventually
mean much larger expenditures on the
part of our home government than
have been made even thus far.

Land Commissioners Decision Causes
Big Rush for Free Land--Forty
Shacks Built Yesterday
Five Thousand Acres of Fine Wheat
Land is Being "Squatted' Upon
by Homeseekers

Quincy, Wash, March 31-An
unprecedented rush for land has taken
place in this vicinity in the past two
days aud nights, occasioned by the
recent decision handed down by tie
land commissioner from his Office in
Washington, that railroad land whose
survey had not vet been accepted could
be homsteaded.
The town yesterday, as it mas been
all spring, was full. of homeseekers,
and when the news of the recent de-
eision was spread around town there
was rush for the railroad land, both
by the newcomers aud other residents
who lave not yes used their rights.
Lumber yards and hardware stores
are doing a rushing business, and the
trade is by no means all through with
yet, as there are thousands of acres
of railroad land in the i've townships
south of town, and residents here and
those already located are keeping the
wires hot in letting their relatives
know of the situation
Forty shacks were built yesterday
in the day time, and as many mure
were probably built during the night
In many cases where land was pick
ed on in the evening. the morning
found some strangers living in a
shack. Another man who had a Sec
tion all broke out and under cultivat-
ion. tore down large barn that he
had on his place and went around
and built three other shacks on the
other three quarters and thus kept off
the other landseskers for the time.
The land in question is very valuable,
and all who can are taking advantage
of the decision.
