The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1906-01-13
SENATOR ANKENYS GENEROUS
ACTION is FULLY APP.
PRECIATED.
Piles Announces He Will Use Position
for Best Interest of the
State.

Changes in the combination assign
ments of the Washington senators
announced on Thursday are being
commented on as remarkable for two
things. One is Senator Ankeny's gen.
erosity in passing such an important
place as membership on the commerce
committee to his colleague, and the
other that Senator Piles should have
attained a place on this committee,
even with the consent of his colleague
upon his entrance to the senate, Is the
report that comes from Washington
eagerly sought and older senators were
strong bidders for places on it when
the committees were being made up.
How Change Was Made.
1t is explained that when the senate
convened last month, Senator Ankeny
informed the members Of the commit
tee on committees, which made the as
signments to vacancies, that he want
ed Senator Piles to go on the COM
mittee on commerce. If that could not
be brought about, he wanted the place
for himself. He succeeded so far as
the latter part of his request was con-
cerned.
After the assignments were made he
again took up the question of having
Senator Piles placed on the committee,
and through the personal friendship
and cooperation of Senator Spooner,
of Wisconsin, VINO visited Washing
ton last fall, the exchange was ar
ranged
1t is said that Ankeny relinquished
his place in the interest of western
Washington, in which section Piles re-
sided and in which section all river
and harbor work is located.
In taking the place on the inter-
oceanic canals committee, he goes to
what is now, and will be for years to
come, one of the most important COM
mittees in the senate, as it has charge
of Panama canal legislation.
For Whole State.
In connection with his assignment
to the commerce committee. Senator
Piles announces that he will work not
only for Seattle, but for all the har-
bors in his section of the state. He
will also cooperate with Senator Full
ton in his work for the Columbia
river, which promises an outlet for
eastern Washington products.
Senator Piles expressed his feelings
toward Senator Ankeny in the follow
ing words:
II am grateful to my colleague for
his generous action in this matter and
promise to work for the states inter-
est on the commerce committee, as l
know ne would have done had he re-
manned on it,"

PARTY OF ENGINEERS NOW IN
VESTlGATING LAND LONG
BEEN ABANDONED.
Scheme for Retaining Body OF Land
in Central Washington Is
Feasible.

The Priest Rapids irrigation project
NAV be revived after having lain dor
mant for several years. A party OF re-
clamation engineers under j. Charles
of North Yakima ase now making an
investigation of the country in that
vicinity.
The Priest Rapids section has never
been Investigated by the government
reclamation service except in a gen.
eral way, and it is not known what
can be done there, according to the
statement Of one of the party. All of
the government land in that section
was withdrawn almost two years ago,
but the department has been unable
to take I'D that work on account of be-
ing busy in the Yakima valley.
About fifteen years ago gentleman
Of North Yakima interested number
of eastern capitalists in the Priest
RAPIDS scheme. A survey was made
for a canal to water all land in east
ern Yakima county. The work was
thoroughly done and the engineer In
charge made an estimate Of $1,500,0OO
for the work The intake of the ca
nal was at the head of the rapids. The
water was to have been brought
around the bluff on the west side of
the Columbia river, raised over the
high ridge at the foot of the rapids out
onto the White Bluff plains, one of
the finest bodies of land in the arid
west The parties interested in the
concerning the work done have never
before appeared in print.
Engineers Were Evasive.
The engineers when questioned re-
garding the work stated that they
were making surveys and observa-
tons for the purpose of ascertain
ing whether or not the distractions in
the rapids could be removed so that
the river could be made navigable.
Hard times and the death of the
financial head of the proposition
killed the scheme for all time. 1t is
claimed that a canal built at the head
of the rapids will water all the land in
the eastern part of Yakima and Ben
river, covering as before stated a vast
body of land that is level as a floor
and capable of supporting a population
greater than any section Of the arid
part OF central Washington. Water
from this canal could be carried down

 Now, MT. Hayner, l was lib eral patron of yours for many years. l have felt the effects ot your whiskey on my health, my business, my home, my future prospects, my life. l have also observed the effects of your liquor on my schoolmates, on my business associates, and on hum dreds Of others in the commercial political and social world with whom 1t has been my pleasure to be acquainted. I have also read some things relating to the hquor traffic, and if you will permit me will give you twelve reasons why I quit the use of liquor, why cannot accept your liberal offer and why l propose from thls time on to do what l can to per suade men to abstain from its use.
