The Origin Of YANKEE.

Yankee, would say that II comes

an American paper proud claim
that however 1t may be with the
plain Yankee, the immortal song OF
Yankee Doodle gets its name direct
from the land of Omar Khayyam.
The Persian phrase for Inhabitants
of the New World is, in fact, Yanki-
Dooniah, which Is near enough for
all practical purposes.
In this connection 1t may be noted
that Layard, in his Ninevah and Its
Remains, gives Yanghidunia as be-

Investigate Water Prospects.

During his visit here last week S.
o. Jayne, of the department of agri-
culture, of Washington, D. c., and
F. J. George made a trip into the
Moses Lake country, coming back by
way of Ephrata. They were gone two
days and found many interesting
things to visit, especially SO in the
way of irrigation.
The first place visited was half
section belonging to Judge Martin and
Mr.. Turner, of Wenatchee, who took
up $50 acres along the lake as desert
claiDt purchasing the other quarter.
Of the 800 acres they have about IS
acres under cultivation, although their
irrigation bitches spread over all the
land They installed a 40 h. p. engine
last fall, and pump their water from
the lake. lifting it about so feet. Part
or the land they have plated and
have for sale. In the 35 acres under
cultivation they have all kinds of
fruits and vegetables and have made
good start for an irrigated farm.
About three miles from this place
Judge Martin has 160 acres of his own
and on which he has put 20 h. p.
gasoline engine for irrigating his
land. He gets his water for this
place from well, and has to pump
about the same distance as they do
from the lake. Mr.. Martin is in
tending to build himself residence
on this land
These men. in their gasoline en-
gines, use distillate, kind of crude
oil, for fuel. This distillate is a lit

in place of gasoline.
Continuing in their trip, Mr. George
and Mr. Jayne visited the ranch of
Sam Galley, few miles further down
the lake, and here they found an

fulfilling his promise to down three
men in one hour and winning the side
bet of $500, says the Union, Walla
Walla.
Casey First Man.
Promptly at o'clock referee Babe"
Brown called attention to the gallery
gods, introduced the actors for the
evening and called time. The first
to enter the ring was James. Casey,
the pride of Walla Walla. Casey was
greeted with cheers. long and loud,
and as he faced his grinning antagon-
list, sympathy for the butcher lad was
evidenced by cries of Your the
stieker kid" go to him, Red"
Choke the Dago." Casey responded
with a good natured grunt and sailed
in with blood in his eye. 1t was
plainly evident from the manner in
which he spared, lodged and side
stepped that he was not used to the
game. but would have put up jaunty
scrap had the mat been prize ring.
The lad was there nevertheless, and
twice when Delivuk's famous half
Nelson looked like sure-thing, the
red head would bob up unexpectedly.
The game with Casey was short, and
in minutes and SO seconds Brown
called time.
George Klinger, who, by the way, is
little the best local product found
on the wrestling market, was the next
man up, and for 8 minutes Is sec
onds the world famed wrestler was
kept on the uneasy seat AS Klinger
entered the ring he received but small
encouragement, but after the two min
utes of slap" play, the crowd tore
loose. for it was then seen that Deli
vuk had met foeman worthy OF his
steel. Twice Delivuk strained with
toe-lock and hammer-lock, and twice
did Klinger break clear. Stick to
him, kid; you for the money! We're
the words which greeted Klinger, yet
for all this, he went to the bad, and
once more Deli~uk strutted to the
center of the mat and gracefully
bowed his acknowledgement to cries
from the gallery.
Liefson Did Good Work.
1t was simply up to the miner kid
to make good, and to his credit it can
be said that he did his best. After
the first five minutes of the struggle
it was plainly evident that the Swed-
ish youth was making desperate eff
from the gallery swarmed down TO
the rescue. 1t was at this point that
the excitement was intense. Men
and boys. of all save the one para
mount fact that Leifson must win
cheered to their hearts content, and
if cheers could have won the game,
Ludwig would have had the taffy, for
the crowd was with him body and
soul.
Ludwig's fight was gamey to the
finish, and the good old, Morse blood
fairly boiled at times when the Aus
trian was on the very verge of send
ing him back to the silver mines. For
nearly 81 minutes the contest waxed
warm, and at times it looked as
though Ludwig had the champion on
his staff At last, and at the point
where both contestants were about
ready for the count, Delivuk secured
the hammer-lock and toe-lock, the
most fatal held known to wrestling
artists, and in twinkling the miner
boys back touched the mat for the
count.
