us all feel good. 1t will inspire us

Projects Close to Completion.
Analysis of the report shows the
various projects which are close to
completion as follows:
LIN Washington.
Yakima, WASH, project, 10000
acres, to cost $45 an acre, total cost
of first unit, s1,S00,00o; annual rev.
enue. s1SG.O00; total area to be re-
claimed. 100000 acres.
Tieton, Wash, project, $4,000 acres
to cost $50 an acre; total cost, ST.
100000; annual revenue. 100000.
Okanogan, Wash, project, 5000
acres, to cost $50 an acre; total cost.
$495, 1000, annual revenue, $4,000.
Some Projects Delayed.
The excessive cost of materials and
labor is inducing the government to
rush to completion the projects which
are well along, but it is inevitable
that some projects which have been
contemplated but on which work has
not been begun will be delayed un-
til prices resume normal level. The
reclamation service has been urged
to go onward with the projects. re-
CARELESS of the cost, in order to bring
the arid lands into use, but the di-
rector and other officials point out
that, if they inaugurate projects with
all prices at the highest, thus making
the total cost higher and laying on
the settlers the burden of repaying
that augmented cost in their 10
annual payments, the recession of
values of all the elements of con-
struction would leave the settler with
high-water cost and lower-water rev.
enue with which to pay the govern
ment.
Inasmuch as the irrigation fund is
handled on the theory of a loan to
the western farmers, which they are
expected to repay in the annual pay
ments, that the money may be devot-
ed again to the construction of other
works for the reclamation of arid
lands, the expenditure of too large
amounts for given project will OPP
crate throughout the 10-year period
to the disadvantage of the families
who live on the reclaimed areas.

Charged With Murder OF
White Man

A dispatch from Okanogan states
that Johnny Nc Claim, the notorious
half-breed who was released from the
Walla penitentiary last winter was ar
rested today, charged with the mur-
der of William Cameron, white man.

incidentally told William Ambros, an
Indian, that he had killed Cameron.
An investigation followed and Cam

under heap of brush near small lake
some eight miles from Okanogan.
McClain was taken to the county seat
and an inquest will be held over the
body of Cameron.

CHFLAN'S GOLD DISCOVERY
Every Prospect So Far Opened Shows
Value, Says The Leader

That Chelan Butte will one day be
shown to be vast mountain of rich
gold-bearing quartz is a belief held by
mining men which grows stronger with
each days developments. The big
hill is now plastered over on all sides
and from summit to base with mining
claims; and nearly every one Of these
on which development work or careful
prospecting has been done makes a
showing Of gold-bearing quartz more or
less rich in the precious metal.
At present the bonanza seems to be
on the southern slopes of the butte
where the first claims were staked, but
it is believed by many experienced
mining men that there are ledges on
the other slopes just as rich as those
on the south side, but that they are
buried deeper under the surface and
more work will be required to locate
and open them up.
A miniature mining camp Of tents
and board shacks has sprung up in the
vicinity OF the original discovery, and a
large number Of men are constantly
employed at development work on the
various prospects about the camp.
Kingman and Pershall, who staked
the Butte claim, are the first to procure
substantial returns. They have been
engaged for several days in taking out
rich ore and are sorting and sacking it
for shipment to a stamp mill. On this
claim six-foot ledge with four-inch
pay shoot was uncovered. At depth
Of twelve feet on the ledge, the depth
to which the tunnel had been driven
when the last reports came in, the pay
shoot was steadily widening and an
other, branch shoot, had been broken
into which carried even richer values
than the frst.-Chelan Leader.
A story in the Wenatchee World of
Wednesday records the sale of the
Kingman & Pershall claim, one of the
first located and on which the greatest
amount OF development work has been
done, to a Mr.. Foreman, Of Seattle,
for $4,000. Foreman is from Dew
yer and said to be an experienced
miner.

Will Be Used to Do The Switching on Their
Side-TrackS

The business of the Lamb-Davis
Lumber Co., has reached such proper
tion that it requires the use OF pri-
vate engine to do its switching. 1t
arrived on fiat car the first OF the
week and has ever since been an OBJ
ject of more or less curiosity. 1t is
unlike the engines used by the Great
Northern. 1t is not so large and it is
of the gered or logging type of en-
CINE and was built in Erie, Pa.
The shipment of the Company S
products average about thirty cars each
week and when the logs begin to ar
rive from Wenatchee there will be a
considerable amount of switching.

PIONEERS PICNIC AT MONITOR
Planning for Big Time Today and To-
mOrrow-Athletics and OratOry

The Chelan County Pioneers, with
their families, will meet at Monitor to-
day and continue their festivities to-
morrow. A program committee has
arranged things for an enjoyable time.
The program includes speeches and
athletic events. Frank Reeves and
Lyman Shotwell OF Wenatchee, and
George Parrish OF Monitor, have been
selected as the principal speakers for
the occasion. The association was Or
ganized last fall during the Chelan
county fair. Michael Horan OF We
natchee is president, and Alex Pitcher
OF Wenatchee is secretary.
At Monitor the association is plan
ming to purchase a park of several
acres extent to be used as permanent
meeting ground. Trees and shrubbery
give the park natural advantage, and
band stand, benches and dance pa
vilion are now in construction. The
annual convention this year will be the
first event at the new grounds.
The farm work is not rushing just at
present and it is thought that the pio-
neers generally will proceed to Monitor
and have a two days frolic.
BY resolution at a recent meeting,
the Chelan County Old Settlers Asso-
citation decided that all residents Of ad-
joining counties should be eligible fol
membership, provided they were resi-
dents of Chelan county prior to Jan. /
1892.

Ibsen, my great compatriot, has In,

Of other men anu OF other consdera-
lions Is certainly the man who IL apt
to find the greatest aud most valuable
truth. On the other hand, 1t is also
true that science more than most other
things In life depends on cooperation.
on the help of ones fellow beings, and
this becomes more and more true every
day. Many people are apt to forget
what science actually Is and what they
owe TO science. for 1t Is through sci.

lists, aud the development OF society rs
