UOni[N MAY Get
RIGHT TO BALLOT.
BILL SUBMITTING MATTER TO REF
ERENDUM GOES THROUGH
THE SENATE.
CONNOR DECIDES TIE VOTE
Assembly Expected to Recede from Posi-
ton So Fair Sex Can Lay Re-
quest Before People.

MADISON, Wis, June 1S.-[Special.l
Lieut.. Gov. Connor cast the deciding
vote to allow the people of the state to
vote on the question of female suffra ge
in the Senate this morning. The bill to
that effect had been introduced by Sena-
tor Stout and reported in by the commit
tee on elections without recommendation.
Without a word of debate the vote was
taken and resulted in a tie Mr. Connor
had relinqushed his chair to Senator
Wilcox, but assumed it again to cast the
deciding vote.
Assembly May Change.
A similar bill has been killed in the
Assembly but in view of the action
of the Senate it is thought that
the lower house will consider its
decision and leave it to the voters of
the state to decide whether the fair sex
shall have the sacred right OF suffrage
in Wisconsin or not.
For years the Women's rights adyo-
Gates have endeavored to secure recognl-
ton from the legislators. but hitherto
they have been turned down cold
Didn't Ask This Year.
This session they did not ask the right
of suffrage, but only asked that the peO-
pie of the state vote on the proposition.
If the bill finally passes they will
doubtless start a campaign throughout
the state to carry their point at the cleo
ton in 1908

blasts on the historic horn, which is

Then the "tuttimen'' went forth bear
ing slaves garlanded with flowers and
made a DECENTRALIZATION Of the town,
kissing every lady whom they met and
dmanding penny from every male
householder.
The sum thus obtained served to pur-
chase oranges for scrambling among
the crowd Of children who followed in
their footsteps. The ladies took the
kissing in good part and the males paid
up snilingly.
Meanwhile the Hocktide jury was
transacting more serious business in

Great Project on the Columbia.

Building of another immense irri-
cation system within 80 miles OF
North Yakima and the reclamation oil
about 1000 acres of the finest fruit
land in Central Washington is al.
most certain, financing of Columbia
liver project having been taken up
by Z. W. Dooly of North Yakima and
| Charles Frye, the Seattle packer.
The proposed canal is a gravity
| system from the head of Priest Rap
IDS on the north and east sides of
the Columbia river, opposite the Han
ford property. Preliminary surveys
have been made by Engineer Marble
FOR John Morrissey, who owns the
water rights and options on property.
II is on the basis of these rights and
surveys that the capitalists are TAX
ing up the proposition
Engineers say that the project is
4 feasible one for the irrigation of
5000 acres by gravity system and
five or six thousand acres under a
pumping plant, power for which can
easily be developed from the Priest
rapids.
AS surveys for electric and steam
lines have been made along the Co.
lumbia river, and a boat line has al
really been started between Kenne-
wick Pasco, Hanford and the Priest
rapids, there is certainty of trans
portation, and it is said that the Chi
cago, Milwaukee e st. Paul railroad
is projecting line into the newly
developed fruit country along the
Columbia, which will take in the
new project.
The land along the Columbia river
near Priest rapids is considered excel
lent for the raising of early fruits,
especially straw bel ries and bush Der.
lies. and also for peaches. apricots
and grapes. Its reclamation and the
building of transportation lines into
the section means the development
Of valuable tract of orchard coun-
try which will be tributary to North
Yakima.
Reports are circulated that capital
lists in the Yakima valley are Planning
to back another project in the Co.
lumbia valley between Pasco and
Priest rapids. Much of the country
between these points will be develop
ed simultaneously with the compile
ion Of the main line of the Chica-
go. Milwaukee & ST. Paul railroad,
which will afford better rail facili-
ties.
