|ALKAL| LANDS
ARE FERTILE
Soaked in Water Unpr0duct.
i've Soil Disappears
HUNDREDS Of ACRES NEAR
If RAILROAD Suit is Defeated
Thousands of Acres Can
Be Reclaimed
HUNDREDS OF ACRES NEAR

Reclamation of alkali lands ada
cent to Walla Walla occupied no small
amount of attention from the men,
bers of the Commercial club yesterday
evening. Attorney RAIDER spoke at
some length concerning the reclama-
ton of some 5000 acres of land be-
tween Touchet and Whitman stations.
For the past three years expert
ments have been conducted by Mr..
Williams. near Whitman. Alkali
lands. not treated according to
Mr.. RAIDERS statement, are prac-
tically worthless. Various ex-
periments have been tried throughout
the United States under the supervi-
sion of the reclamation department. of
alkali lands near Whitman have been
turned into the most fertile garden
spots in the county.
Dyking System.
A system of dyking is followed in re-
claiming the lands. Dykes are con-
structed on a certain parcel of land.
An immense quantity of water is then
turned in and the soil thoroughly
soaked Finally the alkali disappears.
The formation OF the soil is responsible
for peculiar results. The white ashy
dirt after a thorough soaking becomes
a rich loan capable of producing the
finest grade of alfalfa. AS the alkali
and water disappears through the sub
strata it rises to the surface perhaps
quarter of a mile away. 1t is this con-
ditiOn that has caused the O. r. & n.
to bring an action against Mr.. Williams
for damages. The company alleges a
softening of the road bed and danger
to traffic as a result of the process.
Would Kill Project.
If the railroad company is success
full in it's suit it will kill the reclama-
ton of thousands of acres of land in
the county. Mr.. Williams through Mr..
RAIDER, asked that a committee be APP
pointed to confer with the proper Off
Gals of the company, concerning the
question. The request was granted.
For Fish Hatchery.
]. c. Scott, representing the Rod and
Gun club, asked that the club lend its
aid in support of the passage of the
bill providing for a fish hatchery in
Walla Walla county. Secretary Moore
was instructed to communicate with
