SEAIOGIVE UPLAND
IT KEEPS FROM USE
100000 ACRES TO BE RECLAIMED
IN SACRAMENTO VALLEY.
Richest Soil in the World-Engineers
to Turn Banks of the River into a
Vast Stretch of Country Suitable for
Cultivation.
New York Herald.

What King Canute failed to do by
his royal will is now being accomplished
in California, where the sea has been
commanded to stand still and has
obeyed the behest. A stupendous recia-
nation scheme is now going on in the
Sacramento River valley, and when it
shall be completed, 100000 acres of
land, which now lies useless, Will be
ready for large population, which will
have the richest soil in the world to
cultivate. Of this vast expanse, l,OO0,-
900 acres are now dominated by un-
controlled waters, while 100000 are
lying waste for want of the moisture
which is useless surplus below.
These 100000 acres will lie IN a
continuous stretch Of country without
one single acre of uncultivatable land
the San Joaquin they call it the "Cali
fornia Netherlands. Along the river
you see bikes, windmills, great irrigat
ing culverts and all the farms lying
below the waters level.
All this has been brought under sub
lection to the will of man, but above
where the San Joaquin river joins witt
the Sacramento, and below, reaching to
ward the tidewater Of the sea, vas
stretches of land lie continually covered
with water, and it is these lands, rev

With the temperature down to II
degrees, Is degrees below the freezing
point, it looks bad for apricots, peaches
and cherries.
An extremely low barometer pre-
walls. and the indications are for a
good, old-fashioned storm of wind and
rain or snow.
The strawberry buds are probably
safe and snug under the blanket CT

Let us hope that the cold wave will
pass speedily and before the fruit CROP
is ruined. Walla Walla is a great
wheat country, but the fruit and veget

carloads of produce is of such import
ance to the community that its de

one of the best players on the Mission
airy BASEBALL team for the last two years.
He is one of the most reliable center
fielders Whitman ever had and prom
ises to develop into fine pitcher this
year.
In basketball his work on the team
for the past two years has been steady
and reliable always, and at times
even brilliant He has played center
this year since Cox, the star player
of the team was barred from participa-
ton in athletics on account of condi
tions. JOB as he is called, is very
popular with all the athletes in college
and conducted the business end of the
team very successfully this year.
He is a cousin of the famous Jim
Rigsby, who in his time was one of the
greatest halfbacks Whitman ever hand
and a star man on the diamond also.
The older Rigsby has, since graduation,
been in the employ of the Equitable
Savings and Loan company of Port
land, and is now manager of their Sc
attic office.
The basketball season just closed has
been a fairly successful one. 1t started
off with prospects of a championship,
but the loss of two of the best players
on the team, Captain Elmo Reser and
Alpha Cox, on account of athletic con-
ditions, destroyed all hopes in that line.
The team defeated Washington state
college in a hard fought game here,
but lost in tko close games at Pull
man; they also lost to Idaho university's
crack team at Moscow. High hopes for
a winning team next year are some
what marred by the probability that
Cox, the star center, will not be back
next year. All the rest of this years
team will undoubtedly return, however.
Captain-elect Rigsby treated the
team to a nice little supper at the
close Of the election.

CHARGES FILED AGAINST TEACHER DEAN
ACCUSED OF "CONDUCT UNBE.
COMING A GENTLEMAN"-
COMMUNITY DIVIDED.

According to reports that come from
Dixie, that little settlement is greatly
excited over an investigation that is
scheduled to take place Tuesday morn
ing when the directors of the school
district will consider charges that have
been filed against the teacher. Profess
sor Dean, by the parents of some of
the children attending the school.
Several days ago papers were filed
with the directors charging the teacher
with conduct unbecoming a gentlema 4.
While the entire full import of the
charges has not been made public, a
resident of Dixie who was in Walla
Walla today said that the teacher one
day last week was eating an apple
at recess time when one of the girl
pupils knocked it from his hand and
started to run out of the room. The
teacher pursued the young girl and,
catching her, slapped her across the
back. Another charge is that without
provocation, he whipped one of the
boys attending the school, The third
charge is that he had caused the girls
Of the school to perform physical exer-
cises that were considered indecent.
Investigation Postponed.
The board of directors met Saturday
afternoon to investigate the case and
when the session was commenced the
school room was crowded with inter
ested spectators Mr.. Bean, desiring
that he should have a square deal. had
sent to Walla Walla for an attorney
to represent him. A stenographer was
secured, and the investigation was
about to begin when one of the direc.
tors became i'll and left the room. The
other two directors then got into quite
a heated discussion over the PROPOSE
ton to postpone the hearing. After
considerable jangling it was finally de
cided to continue the hearing unit
Tuesday morning, at which time il
| will be concluded behind closed doors
Sentiment Divided.
1t is said that the people of Dixie are
about evenly divided in their opinions
in the controversy and that no matter
which way the case is decided there
will be no small amount of dissatis
faction. Many people believe thu
charges filed against Mr.. Bean arr
