PROJECTS ASSURED
WAY CLEARED FOR TlETAN and
SUNNYSIDE.
Signature OF the Last ObjeCtOr to
Government Proposal HAS Seen
Secured, and Yakima and Benton
Counties are Happy Over the pros.
peCt.

Prosser, Jan. 3O.-The Teton and
Sunnyside irrigation projects are as
sured by the signing here of the gov
eminent agreement by E. +. Benson.
of the Prosser Falls Land and Power
Company, after strenuous campaign
by the commercial club of nearly
three weeks.
All the other rights in the Yakima
river are now adjusted and Engineer
Jacobs wired from Washington here
that the slate is clean. Taylor &
Kemp and Thompson & Pratt, the two
other firms having water rights, signed
the government agreement a week ago.
The government is to take over the
irrigating plant of Mr.. Benson and
also water 400 acres of his individual
lands. 1t will allow 215 cubic feet
of water to pass Prosser during Au-
gust and 229 cubic feet during the bal
ance of the irrigating season; also
raising the dam in the river here from
twelve to fifteen feet. This will leave
ample power for manufacturing pur-
poses.
pr0SSer Holds Celebration
There was great jollifcation over
the news, the meeting at the Com
mercial Club rooms being packed with
wildly enthusiastic audience. En-
gineer Jacobs said he believed the
work in this valley would continue
for twelve years until$ &c, 900, 900 are
expended and 100000 acres of land
irrigated. 100000 of which will be in
Benton county.
Engineer Jacobs and Attorney Will
hanson, of the reclamation service, ar
rived from North Yakima Saturday
afternoon and went to work with the
Commercial Club committee to in
duce Mr.. Benson to sign the govern
ment agreement, which he had declin-
ed to do for over twbO weeks, fearing
that it would curtail the power in the
river. of which his company is a large
user. But he finally yielded to pub.
lie sentiment, which was unanimous
for government irrigation.
Outlines the Work.
Engineer Jacobs says the work of
completing the surveys will begin i'm
mediately and in few months actual
construction work will commence to
reclaim 1000 acres, all lying be-
tween Kennewick and Ellensburg.
The people here are preparing for big
boom and great influx of settlers,
nearly every resident having one or
more friends in other states whom they
will advise to come here.
Excitement at North Yakima.
North Yakima, Jan. 30.-The news
of the final settlement of the water
rights question created greater excite
ment among the people here than at
any time since government irrigation
was proposed for the valley. Chief
engineer Jacobs is now preparing his
final report to submit to the secretary
of the interior. He stated this even
ing, after arriving from Prosser, that
he would at once organize force OF
engineers to 90 into the field to make
the final surveys for the Tieton pro
ject and the improvements to the Sun

RECLAMATION FUND
MAY Be INCREASED

Washington, Jan. 90. Several mea-
sures by which it is proposed to in
crease the federal reclamation fund
and preserve the governments supply
of timber at the same time are now
before conrgess. One of these mea-
sures is the expression Of the peren-
NAL effort to secure the repeal of the
timber and stone act, under which
valuable government lands are being
disposed of at the nominal figure of
$3.50 per acre. This law has, in the
opinion of the secretary of the inte-
rior, led to many of the public land
frauds which the governmenthas been
prosecuting during the last two years.
Connected with this movement is
proposition to sell the stumpage on
government timber lands at market
value and apply the proceeds to irri-
CATION and forestry. Some interest was
lent to these propositions by resolu-
tions adopted by the National Board of
Trade at its sessions in Washington
this week.
The irrigation and forestry resolu-
tions adopted by the National Board
Oft rade strongly indorse the two gov
ernment policies whose names they
bear, and commend Secretary Hitch
cock for his fearless prosecution of
land and timber thieves, and urge up
on congress the repeal or radical
amendment of the desert land act and
the communication clause of the home
stead act and the repeal of the timber
and stone act. with the substitution of
a forestry policy providing for the sale
of stumpage only at market value, the
net proceeds resulting therefrom to be
devoted equally between the forest
service and the reclamation service.
Government to Hold Title.
Under this plan the title for all the
public timber lands would remain in
the government, which would also in
sure their reforestation, and while the
reclamation fund now receives all the
income from the sale of government
timber lands in the West at -. so an
acre, the sale of stumpage at the mar
ket value. as has already been done in
isolated instances, would bring in a
greatly increased fund to both reclama-
ton service and the forest service.

CHICAGO SHIPPERS PROTEST
Insist 81. I.ouIs Has nm Advantage Tn
shipments to the Missouri
River.

CHICAGO March 2.-Cspecial TelegrsmO
Executive officials Of the western rail-
roads were surprised today to receive
notice from the Chicago Commercial asso-
cistton that they were dissatisfied with the
ratio OF rates between Chicago and Mis-
souri, points as compared with the rates
enjoyed by st. Louis.
The notice Of the Chicago shippers was
sent to the executive committee OF the
Western Trunk Line association and asks
for conference at which the Chicago men
may plead their cause. At the same time
the organization has filed a new schedule
OF rates as the basis upon which they
wish to argue. This basis reduces the
differential which now exists in the local
Chicago Missouri river rate and the st.
Louis Missouri river rate to the same basis
of differentials which exist in the New
York-St Louis and the New York-Chicago
rate.
The executive officials of the western
roads will meet tomorrow to consider the
Missouri river proposition.
w. VI. Hosmer to whom the question
was referred for the checking up Of the
rates to soc how widespread the reduc-
tion. would be. has finished his work. 1t
was learned in the afternoon that the
proposition will not carry, even the St
Paul having withdrawn it's support after
seeing how far-reaching the effect would
be.
1t is declared that S5,OOOOOO is a con-
servative estimate of what the railroads
would lose IL the proposed reduction in
the rate between the Mississippi river and
Missouri river from 90 cents to 40 cents
should be made.
