TOPPENISH BOOMING
WONDERFUL OUTLOOK FOR RES
ERVATION TOWN.
Plans Under Way for Many Improve.
mentS as Result of Indian
Allotments.

TOPPENISH, Feb. Especial to
the Herald.-H. M. Gilbert, who
came here seven years ago and is
manager and half owner of the Rich
ey & Gilbert company, cleared 1900
acres of sage brush and successfully
managed the most extensive irri-
gated farm in the Yakima valley,
constructed the large stone ware
house on the Northern Pacific line
and built up the most extensive ship
ping business in the state, secured
through Congressman Jones, by spe-
cial act of congress at the last ses-
sion, patents in fee simple for Frank
lin P. Olney and Charles Wannassy
Mr.. Gilbert has now purchased the
east half of the Olney tract, which
lies on both sides of the railroad, but
mostly on the west side, adjoining
the depot and the warehouse dis
trict, and connecting the Josephine
Lille townsite with the railroad
right of way. Mr.. Gilbert will plat
this at once and place it on the mar
ket. 1t is understood that several
men with strong financial resources
are arranging to erect substantial
buildings. Mr.. Gilbert has just re-
turned from five weeks trip
through the east, and he advises that
ond grade potatoes, an alfalfa mill,
which wherever located in the mid
die west has doubled the value of all
alfalfa land tributary, also a cold
storage plant, vinegar factory and
canning plant are among the proba-
bilities of the near future for Top
penish.
The electric railroad will come to
Toppenish and bring the rich fruit
lands of the Zillah and Parker bot
tom districts in close touch. The
Northern Pacific depot grounds and
right of way at Toppenish cover
twenty-six acres of ground. The
company has rails on the ground for
extensive improvements of their
yards, four sidetracks, each 500 feet
in length, to be constructed this
spring, thus showing that the rail-
way company considers Toppenish
the most important point between
Spokane and North Yakima.
The people of Toppenish believe
their city is to be second only to
North Yakima in the great Yakima
valley, and petition is now before
the county commissioners for the in
corporation of all the available land

NEW COUNTY.
Gray's HarbOr Proposition Passes
the Senate.

OLYMPIA, Feb. 22.-The Chehalis
delegation bill creating the county Of
Gray's Harbor has passed the senate
92 ayes and 5 nays. 1t carries with
it an emergency clause and will be
sent to the governor Immediately.
What he will do with it will depend
upon the showing the anti-division-
lists make. He has been flooded with
kilograms from the big interests of
Gray's Harbor protesting against d.
vision. The men who are opposing
the bill at home are of such high
character and represent such sub
stantial interests that Governor Mead
will give their side of the matter full
consideration before signing the bill.
Both sides here at Olympia say it
is piece of political jobbery and the
result of the failure of Aberdeen tn
capture the county seat.
Yesterday the divisionists consult
ed Assistant Attorney General Mac
donald as to the constitutionality OF
the bill, and got from him an ans
wer that it was most admirably
drawn and is without flaw.
However, in the opinion of the
assistant attorney general, Hewitt's
bill to submit the question to a vote
before the governor affixes his sigma
ture. Is faulty. Macdonald cites the
constitution to maintain that no terri
tory shall be stricken from any
county unless a majority of the vot-
ers living In such territory shall Pc
tition therefor.

POWER HOUSE
CANAL LINES
ON GREAT TETON PROJECT
Have Been Surveyed and Party Re-
turned Home Wednesday,
Cement Block Plants.

Theodore Weisberger, with sur
veying party composed of j. f. Dun
can, John Newenhof and William Pr
per returned Wednesday from a trip
of several days, during which time
they surveyed line for a new power
canal, located the power house site
and also arranged for eight different
locations for cement block plants,
this work being in connection with
the Tieton project.
The party Travelled about thirty
miles along the various lines of the
proposed project.
Work will start in about two
weeks on the power canal and power
house," states Mr.. Weisberger. Forty
men will be placed on the construc-
ton work, which will be rapidly
pushed.
"The power house and canal will be
about twelve miles from Natchez
City. There will be eight different To-
cations for cement block making
a plants. Each block will weigh about
y 2200 pounds, but by the system we
will install for handling them they
might as well be SO many peanuts.
AZ THE blocks will be picked up by
"a crane and carried over to a cable,
onto which they will be transferred
and carried up to the canal, very
easy process when you have the
4proper equipment.
The power house and canal will be
used to generate electricity Tor the
operating OF the machinery and for
lighting purposes. One hundred and
seventy-five cubic feet of water per
second can be handled The canal
and power house will develop 270
. horse power.
s when work Is started on the main
canal about 300 men will be en-
6ployed, and we will move along just
as rapidly as conditions will allow"
This is the most important move
yet made on the canal project and
Mr. Weisberger is extremely desir-
Gus to start work, which will be done
as soon as the weather warrants,
which he expects will be in about
two weeks.
A heavy shipment Of cement is now
on the road from California and may
arrive at any time, although is is be-
ing delayed with other freight. The
cement block making will be one of
the greatest undertakings ever at
tempted in this section of the coun-
try and the progress of the canal
work is being watched with eager
interest. Work on the twelve miles
of the main canal will probably move
along rapidly providing materials
can be secured and a sufficient force
