INSTRUCTION IN TUBERCULOSIS

In order to disseminate informa-
tion in tuberculosis, the Yakima
County Medical society has under
taken to furnish series of lectures
in the public schools. The lectures
will be supplemented with pamph-
lets on the prevention and treatment
of tuberculosis prepared by the
Washington Association for the Pre-
vention and Relief Of tuberculosis.
1t is the idea Of the Yakima County
Medical society to enlist the services
of the school pupils in the war on the
great white plague" They are ex-
peeted to carry from the schoolroom
to their homes proper instructions il
regard to ventilation of rooms and
the value of outdoor living.
A committee OF the county medical
society has been appointed to investi-
gate the extent of consumption in
Yakima county This committee is
to report on the climatic conditions
peculiar to the county, and this in
formation is to be used to reinforce
the pamphlets issued by the state so
ciety. Five physicians will deliver
lectures In the city schools Of North
Yakima in April.
This work is of character tc
arouse deep interest in any com
munity where tuberculosis is found
and where IS there a community free
from this dread disease? Men whC
have made study of tuberculosis
urge preventive measures, for one,
the disease gets under Roadway It /:
very difficult TO stop. Consumption
being a preventahle disease tina
causes more deaths in the Unite
States than any other, there is nj
reason why the pupils of the publii
school should not receive instruction,

VIII Build Its First Line to Fruit.
vale.

With franchises secured and suf.
licient capital to carry out te work
already outlined, the 1ntervalley
Traction company now awaits steel
in order that active operations may
be begun and a portion of the road
built by fall, says the Spokesman
Review.
AS stated several days ago the III.
innate intention of the company is
to build at least $50 miles of road
in the valley and franchises have
been granted for 20 miles already
and it is the intention of II. B.
Scudder, the president, according tc
a statement he made to the county
commissioners, to apply for other
franchises and extend the lines in
every direction from Yakima. The
company will not build a trolley
road, but will use motors, generating
electricity by means of gasoline en-.
gines. By this the cost of building
will not exceed $4,000 a mile.
The Chicago, Burlington G Quincy
railroad has been making numerous
tests at Chicago and has built sew
eral cars which maintain high rates
of speed and draw heavy trains. The
Intervalley company will be pioneer
in this line Of power in the north
west.
The first line will be built to
Fruitvale, as the farmers in that
vicinity are enthusiastically in IA
vor of the road and have subscribed
$4,000, which will be offered as a
bonus if the line is built The farmers
will advance the money, but will re-
ceive stock certificates for their in
vestment, thus becoming stockhold
ers in the road.
Another branch which will be built
leads along the Ahtanum valley as
far as Tampico, distance of rs
miles. Another branch, which is
provided for in the franchise, will
be built through Parker bottom,
with the town of Zi1lah as the term
inal, which will require about 20
miles of track. Still another branch
will be built through Wide Hollow,
which is valley about six miles
wide and Il miles long and which
embraces a large portion of the Tie
ton canal country which the govern
ment will reclaim by the project
now under construction.

A SLOGAN IS SELECTED
AFTER MUCH OEL|BERAT|ON

Upton. you Can Do Better In
Yakima" 1t was almost a toss-up
which was the best. 1t was sug-
gested that a "but" be added to this
slogan, and the money divided be-
tween Cliff and Upton, but this did
not meet with the approval of the
entire committee.
The meeting was called to order
at Sis o'clock with only five men,
bers present. The committee first
listened 20 Photographer Cakes, who
submitted a sample souvenir booklet
which, when completed will contain
views of the city, farms and other
scenes in the valley. Mr.. Cakes
stated that he could publish the
books for 9H cents each and it was
his intention to get out $4,000 cop
les, of which he desired the Boost
ers' club to purchase at least 5000
copies at 10 cents each. The remain
ing books he said he would place on
the market at 25 cents per copy. The
committee took the proposition ur-
der consideration and will report
within a week.
The chairmen of the various COM
mittees soliciting funds for the club
made a request of Chairman Lesh
that extra members be appointed on
the committee for the purpose of So
Letting. They stated that it takes
a great deal of time to cover the dis
tricts, and as it is necessary that the
money be in at once, it would be ad-
visable to nominate several new
members. Chairman Lesh appoint
ed the following as members: STAN
ley Coffin. Phil Otter, w. w. Rob-
ertson and W. H. Dudley.
John Wiegel was appointed treas
urer of the committee to have charge
of all funds. The next meeting Of
the committee will be held next We'd
nesday evening at o'clock in the
Commercial club rooms.

ers All Along the
Yakima.

The initial link In the big chain
of storage reservoirs to provide for
the irrigation of the fertile Yakima
valley will be completed April 10.
when the United States reclamation
service will close its floodgates in it's
big dam at the source of the Yakima
river, at the southwest end of Lake
keechelus. This dam is rapidly
nearing completion and will insure
an even flow of water through the
miles of irrigation bitches during
the parching months of summer, in
surfing safety to the thousands OF
grain and fruit growers residing
along the Yakima.
This ability to store the flood wa
tiers of the spring freshets in Lake
keechelus, to be discharged during
the dry season will mean the saving
of thousands upon thousands of dol
lars to the farmers of the Yakima
from Ellensburg along the Sunnyside
bitches as far as Prosser. Miles and
miles of laterals jutting from the
main irrigation canals in the valley
have been dry water courses during
the hot months of summer owing to
the failure to properly store the flood
waters for summer consumption.
The present dam is merely tempo
rary and will be replaced within a
few years by concrete bore dam
sixty fet in height, stretched across
the valley entrance of the Yakima at
Lake Keechelus, and capable of pro-
viding sufficient water for valley ir-
rigation users in the drouth period.
Not only will Lake Keechelus be
harnessed to reclaim the arid belt
but Lakes Keachess and Gle Elum
will also be utilized as storage basins
and immense retaining walls erected
to hold the pent-up waters.
The United States reclamation
service first began work on the i'm
mense project early last fall. Con-
struction work was begun at Lake
Keechelus and Lake Gle Elum. Ow-
ing to the rigorous winter the work
at Gle Elum was temporarily aban-
donei. but the Lake Keechelus pro-
ject was rushed through. Sudden
high waters and floods washed away
the outer portions of the temporary
cofferdam during the early stage OF
the construction. but this was re-
placed by even stronger false work
Rock was blasted from the bed OF
the river below the spillway to fill

dam, which stretches across the river
mouth 256 feet The spillway is
ten feet above the mean level of the
lake, admitting of a raise of ten
feet above the present level. The
apron is composed of six-inch planks
upon a foundation of log cribbing
with rock filling.
The flood gates are fifteen feet
wide and capable of handling the
heavy spring freshets should &C.
casion arise. The wings of the dam
enter into the banks of solid rock
and hardpan at the lake outlet, in
surfing a solid foundation.
The cost of the dam will approx
mate 1000, and is commonly
classified as a rock-cribbed log dam.
Lake Keechelus provides natural
storage for the eastern watershed OF
Snoqualmie pass, and is entirely
surrounded by lofty mountains ex-
cept slight rift through which the
Yakima winds. The present storage
capacity is 940,000,000 cubic feet.
aggregating more than 5,000,000,-
900 gallons This immense capacity
will be materially increased by the
construction Of the permanent con.
crete dam. raising its level sixty
feet. The approximate cost OF the
permanent dam is estimated at
$3.50, 900.
The great depth of snow on the
Lake Keechelus watershed annually
causes freshets when the chinook
winds of April sweep over the
mountains. The Yakima is the sole
outlet for this flood, which contin.
ues until the snow has disappeared
the many small feeding creeks and
water courses swelling to the size OF
rivers during a single night.
1t is the purpose of the reclama-
tion service to stem this flood and
sold the water until the summer
months, when the farmers along the
lower Yakima are without water for
land irrigation.
The completion of the formulated
projects for Harvesting the three
lakes will insure regular flow
through the miles of irrigation ditch
es of the Yakima. and a marvellous
development of the entire valley.
The cost of the proposed prvjec.
will range close to 100000. to be
borne by the United States govern
ment, which will be reimbursed fol
original construction appropriations
and maintenance by small annual
payments from .abutting property
owners for water rights.
