White SALMON WILL
HAVE IRRIGATION

White Salmon is to blossomlas a
rose. An irrigation district is to be
formed for the purpose of irrigating
and furnishing water for the town OF
White Salmon,
A petition has been circulated and
about every body has signed it. The
purpose is to have about 1000 acres
altered, beginning from the White
Salmon river and taking ali the fiat
to Bingen, a very rich country. So
far fine Strawberries and fruit have
been raised without irrigation but
with water still finer and better crops
can be raised. The residents in Cooks
addition have made good money Iais-
ing csntelopAs, but with water they
will be able to raise twice as much.
The soil there is the richest that
can be found in the country. We
predict that 10 acre tract of land
with water on it will be worth some
thing in the near future. White Sal
mon is going up very fast just now
the people are working all in harmo-
nv and the fiji st thing the Commercial
club took up after its organization
was to get more water which was bad
ly needed They have taken the ad-
vice of e. l.. Smith, of Hood River,
and the result will be the making of
greater White Salmon. The people are
determined to push it with all posi-
BILE speed in order to get the water in
by next summer. The project now
under consideration is to have the
people own the water themselves, to
bond the district with the coop
Grafton of the town and altogether the
cost will be nominal. There are still
several acres in the district unim'
proved but it will soon all be under
cultivation and more homes added to
those already here.
People are moving in fast and by
the time the North Bank railroad Is
completed there sill be many homes
started in this famous valley and still
have thouse nds of acres available for
settlers.

HELD FOR MURDER
Captain Joseph Hilton, Of The
Schooner Golden Light,
Knocked Overheard.
AssAILANTs ARE LODGED in JAIL

Thomas r. Wilcraft, 35 years
old, 2312 South Eighth street,
Philadelphia, and Robert B. Ryall,
20 years old, of Salisbury, Md,
were committed to Elkton Jail Mon
day night, charged with the mur-
der of Capt. Joseph Hilton, aged
30 years, of Pleasantyille, N. .J.
The crime took place on Elk
river off William Arrants' shore,
in Elk Neck, Cecil county, Monday
afternoon. Captain Hilton, of the
schooner Golden Light, was bound
from Atlantic City to Salisbury,
and on board with him were Will
craft and Ryall, the latter having
shipped Monday at Delaware City.
When several miles from Chesa-
peake City, according to young
Ryall, the captain accused him of
stealing his money and a fight
ensued. Wilcraft, who is power
fully built man, came to young
Ryalls rescue, whereupon it is
alleged that Captain Hilton rushed
at Wilcraft with knife, stabbing
him in the left breast over the
heart. The latter then struck the
captain, knocking him overheard.
Ryall says he jumped overheard
and did not see the blow struck
that knocked the captain into the
river. The two men then ran the
schooner aground and, taking
small boat, went ashore. They
went to North East and gave them
selves up to the authorities.
Ryall admits that the men had
been drinking and declares Will
craft committed the deed in self
defense.
The latter has an ugly wound
near the heart, and after being
placed in Jail DR.. John 81. Jamer,
the Jail physician, was summoned
and dressed the wounds. Wilcraft
refuses to talk of the crime.
Captain Hilton leaves a widow
and four children He owned %
comfortable home at Pleasantville
and had just cancled mortgage
against his property Saturday. He
is reported to have had $500 in his
possession when he left home the
day before his murder.
The body of the murdered man
was recovered on Wednesday after
noon by William Arrants and Jos.
Mckinney. Its condition would
indicate that life was extinct before
it reached the water, as the skull
was crushed in, evidently the result
of heavy blow from a club or
iron bar. The money supposed to
have been in his possession was
missing, as were his shoes and coat.
The theory advanced is that the
captain was asleep on deck when
attacked, but made a hard fight
before he was killed.

Returns After An Absence OF Ten
Years.

John M. Dinan, formerly prom
inent resident of the Fifth district
of Hartford county and a brother of
Miss Mollie G. Dinan and Mrs.
James B. Shure, of Darlington, has
returned after an absence of 10
years. The time had been spent
in Florida, and mis- sisters, not
hearing from him for seven years,
had taken out letters of admins
tration on his estate and had Mr..
Edward M. Allen, of the Belair bar,
appointed administrator.
Mr.. John L. G.. Lee, trustee for
Mr.. John M. Dinan, contested the
appointment and refused to pay
over the Dinan estate. The case
went to the Court of Appeals,
which sustained the trustee.
Mr.. Dinan was heartily well
coined by his old friends and also
rejoiced to find his estate intact.

IS TOO GOOD
FOR Ills WEIGHT

Harry Lewis, the Philadelphia ligat
weight, comes out In statement simuat
10 that recently issued by Abe AtteI, and
declares that if he must go out OF MS
class and fight men out-weighing him BY
ten pounds. he wants the champion Of the
class.
Lewis record is a unique one. A year
ago he was fighting at 1875 pounds. lie
was carrying too much flesh, and conso-
Quenty meeting men who had naturoI
weight advantage. Despite this fact, tn
Quaker City man moved down star after
star. and at last held Cans of for Sis
rounds.
Then he went under new management,
ard was instantly matched at his truo
weight 100 pounds. He was so strong
at this weight that he knocked out his
FIRST opponent in four rounds. This was
last June
Just three months afterward we md
him in the ring with Joe Thomas, the
California welterweight Thomas Nun
self admitted that he weighed 155 nohnds
Lewis went IN at 1876. Lewis Had no trbuhle
in staying the limit Of six rounds al
though he naturally lost on points He
showed his speed in the first round by
knocking Thomas down. but was too
light to keep up the gait.
Now he is matched to fight Jack
Dougherty in Milwaukee at l3S pounds.
This weight, he declares. is the heaviest
he win do for any one excepting a cham
pion.
GIVE me Joe walcott. and I'll fight
J him at any old weight" says the quaker.
"He is champion. and l have noildng
/ 70 lose and everything to gain But wat
is the use of meeting big welterweiFhts
in the second division, and even going OF
with the middleweights? They all have a
/ punch--they have not the science TO take
them into the front rank. but never he-
less they can knock out a lighter man.
And when a second rater weighing ~
pounds more than / do will stow me away
l. might as well quit"
Lewis point, in my estimation, is well
taken. This little fellow has whipped
Fitzgerald. Jimmy Gardiner. Willie Lewis,
Herrera, McGarry. and a raft Of other
bigger men, but he is foolish in taking
such a long chance. Men like Kid Sulli-
van, Young Erne. INK Russell, Danny
Duane and others Of this weight are his
natural prey. Both Terry McGovern and
Young Corbett, men of his own weight
have refused to meet him. Britt side.
stepped him consistently, as d d Hanlor
and Dick Hyland
Lewis' misfortune is that he Is too sooS
Tor men Of his own weight and too ligh
for the welters and middleweights.

BUSY MONTH FOR
NIT SWINGERS
The Vest Will Be the Place.
AtteII and Baker
to FIGHT

This will be busy month out West
for the lighters. on the 10th "Phnadel-
phia jack olBnen makes his FIRST ap-
pearance against two men, guaranteeing
to stop both Of them inside Of twenty
rounds Two weeks later Atieli and Baker
will,aghtlfor a worlds championship. At
tells record is too well known to call for
comments. He is undoubtedly the greatest
122-pound fighter in the world and for
the past year he has been alone in his
class.
Harry Baker made his professional de-
but In Los Angeles, where he has done
nearly all his lighting. Baker is one OF
the boys brought to the front BY Dewitt,
Van Court, the boxing instructor Of the
Los Angeles Athletic Club. and there are
many who think him the equal Of Abe
Atteu in boxing. When It comes 10 ring
craft, Attelrs many battles give him an
advantage Of experience, without which
no man can be considered a master at
an points Of the game. A fight between
these boys is sure TO be the fastest, most
scientific exhibition ever seen in the coun-
try.
The man who referees this battle VII
have his hands full. and it is almost GER
tail: that he will be forced to render a de-
cision at the end OF the fight. Neither
man is a ''knocker out" though Frankie
Neil is authority for the statement that
Raker hits twice as hard as Attell.
