GIVE WATER MOTOR
EXHAUSTIVE TEST
NEW MACHINE, INVENTED AT
PASCO MAY SOLVE IRRIGA-
TON PROBLEM.

PASCO, Feb. 13.-The Morrison
water motor for inigating purposes
that is now under construction at the
ferry will be ready for launching by the
first of next week The motor is the
invention of ]. r. Morrison and con-
sists Of an augur AZ feet long and
about five feet in diameter.
This auger is made to work inside of
"a scow built for the purpose. The
scow is built like a long box with COM
partments on each side which are
arranged so that the scow can be scut-
through the entire length Of the box
like scOw can come in contact with the
current At one end of the scOw are
fianges or wings to increase the intake
of water.
At the farther end and connected with
the shaft of the auger, is a gearing to
which an endless chain is attached that
connects with an overhead gearing
III d way 10 WOIh
Morrison has used $4,000 feet of lumber
in the construction of the scow, spent
5000 for shafting and something like
$500 for carpenter work. When COM
pleted it will cost in the neighborhood
of $1,000.
This large expense is owing to it's
being the first one constructed. Morri-
son is of the opinion however, that du-
plicates can be put up for something
like $500 when everything is under
stood and material bought in quanti-
! ties.
If the motor proves successful. one
of them will easily irrigate 20 acres of
land if three or four-mile current
can be obtained. A working model is
on exhibition at the Windsor hotel. The
little auger, which is only a few inches
in diameter, will, by the use of the
miniature pumps, throw water eight
feet high.

aREn FEATHER"

Red Feather" the new comic opera
with an exceptionally strong company
and all the gorgeous scenery, costumes
and mechanical and electrical effects
that contributed to the great sue
cess Of the piece during its long New
York run, will be. the attraction at
the Keylor Grand theater, Feb. 2e. The
prima donna of the company is Cheri-
dab Simpson, who has for the past
three years held a similar position with
the Savage forces. The story Of Red
Feather" is one of unusual interest. 1t
is that of conspiracy, which reaches
a sudden and successful climax in the
last act. to overthrow a usurper of the
throne of the kingdom of Romancia
and restore the rigntful sovereign.
Chief among the plotters is mystic
rious free rider, Red Feather whose
identity is unknown until it is tuneful-
Nv revealed in strict confidence to the
tudience 1t is the Countess Hilda
Won Draga," who masquerajes in the
guise of a cavalier of the roads, while
appearing at the court as a high born
lady. The son of the usurper, the
Grown Prince" is in love with the
Countess, and so also is his captain
of the guard. and in their rivalry and
the pursuit of Red Feather" the
action of the plot passes. The climax is
reached when the Countess" to save
the captain. whom she loves, makes
known her identity with the conspira-
tors and the army of restoration at
once bursts the gates.
There is comedy in plenty; the fun
runs clear through the two acts and
there is just enough sentiment to give
relief

RUSHING WORK ON
THE RlPARlA BRANCH
Crews Arriving Daily and Line Will be
Completed Within 80 Days.

Work on the Riparia line is fast be-
ing resumed. The work train was
all along the line will be in full swing
by the first of the week. Engineer r.
D. Perkins, who has reopened his
headquarters at Almota, and is inau-
gurating the work as fast as possible,
says the Lewiston Tribune.
A large number of the skilled men
who were engaged in the work at the
time the operations We're suspended
last fall are being reemplOyed and it
has been necessary to send as far as
Los Angeles to get some of them back.
The men are arriving at Riparia daily
and the full force will soon be reas-
sembled.
The work train is now busy gather
tributed along the line and all energy
is being directed to a speedy COM
pletion of the road.
Chief Engineer Bosche has given
80 days in which the road may be
finished and ready to be placed in OPP
GRAFTON but it is thought that the work
will be completed in much less time
and some estimate that not more than
six weeks will be- required to have the
line ready for service.

in ire men and their achievements.
Traits of character are developed TO
meet the needs of the occasion. No man
knows what latent powers he may pos
sess until called upon to use them, but
when the call for action comes the
sleeping energies will be aroused and
every nerve and muscle will vibrate
in unison as they gladly respond. Ca
liabilities that lie concealed beneath
calm exterior will be revealed and Will
stand the test of time and strength
to meet the exigencies of the most try
ling situations.
I'm the impending struggle which
menaces us on every hand noble minds
will be enlisted in the cause Of free
dom of mankind from the bondage
which they have so long suffered and
struggled against.
This is country of free men, born
with blood bought rights for their in
heritance, which cannot be taken from
them It is a part OF their very beng;
they breathe it in the fresh mountain
air; every heartbeat is a remonstrance
against servility of any description. AS
the waves of the resistless sea beat
against the rocky shore, so shall the
awakened man arise in his power and
strike every form of oppression from
his path; or like the mountain torrent
that sweeps down its side and clears
every obstacle from its course into the

A WISE MOVE.

The directors of the Walla Walla
County Fair association at a meeting
held last night decided to withdraw
from the Northwest Racing circuit
and give an Independent race meet and
fair this fall. In view of the fact that
the Northwest association, at the meet
ing held in Portland, two weeks ago
declined to give Walla Walla favorable
dates, the action of the Walla Walla
association in withdrawing from the
association and giving an independent
fair was the only course left open to
the directors and their decision will
probably prove the wisest after all
The directors have in mind the up
building of a large agricultural fair
rather than the promotion of race horse
meetings and this in itself will appeal
to a larger class of people than 1t
otherwise would. Walla Walla county
is the premier agricultural county in
the northwest and as such the agricul-
tural and livestock exhibits should be
made the main features of the fair. The
directors of the association are to be
congratulated for their decision to be-
gin work early for this years fair.
Committees which will have charge of
the fruit, agricultural and other dis
plays were appointed last night and the
personnel of each committee insures
the success of an Independent fair and
race meet.

A PROSPEROUS COMMUNITY.

The Milton Freewater country, as a
front and some wonderful tales of
profits made by growers the past sea-
son are coming from that section. A
Freewater fruitgrower, off six acres of
gross income of $500 and this would
have been increased had not there been
a shortage of cars at a time when part
of his crop was ready to market. This
acres of land but his income was re-
ceived off six acres. AS a result of his
success he is planting the unoccupiei
part of his land to commercial trees.
This particular grower has two sons
and except for short time during the
picking and shipping season little extra
help was required on the little fruit
ranch, the three of them doing all the
work Their income was probably
larger than that of many of the large
farmers who raise wheat in that Sec
ton. considering their original invest
ment and the fact that their land is
constantly increasing in value as the
new planted orchards mature. The fruit
growers of the Milton Freewater dis
trict are a happy, prosperous and con-
tented lot of people. They enjoy many
conveniences of life not possible before
the advent of the telephone, the rural
mail routes and the electric line which
enables them to market their fruit
quickly and at good profit.

The new theory advanced by L. T.
Cooper relative to the human stomach
has attracted such Widespread atten-
ton that the public in cities visited by
the young man has been Joined by
many physicians in a discussion of his
beliefs and medicines.
Mr.. Cooper says that human health
is dependent almost entirely upon the
stomach. He says that no disease can
be conquered without first alternating
all stomach disorders. He further says
that most men and women of this gen.
Grafton are half-sick, owing to de-
generate stomachs. And lastly, he
claims that his New Discovery medi-
cine will rejuvenate the human stom-
ach in 80 days.
Cooper has been travelling from
one city to another conducting in each
what he calls a campaign of education.
For the past year he has met the public
his success has been phenomenal.
Thousands of people have f1ocked to
his headquarters wherever he has gone,
and the sale of his medicine has been
beyond anything of the kind ever be-
fore witnessed.
Possibly the most interesting feature
of the attention this young man has
attracted is what his army Of followers,
whom he has converted to his beliefs
through his medicines, have to say on
the subject. The following statements
are from two we'll known residents Of
Chicago and Boston, respectively, and
the enthusiasm of these is charac-
teristic of Cooper's admirers generally.
Mrs H. B. Mack, of 1901 State street,
Chicago, says: Il have been suffering
for II years from a combination of
stomach troubles, catarrh and consti-
patton. had a gnawing pain in the pit
of my stomach, sort of a dull pain

YAKIMA, Feb. 13.-Settlers who are

after be given an opportunity to earn
at least fair income while waiting for
water to be turned onto their lands. 4
plan has been devised by the reclama-
ton service. and approved by the Sec

settlers will have an opportunity to
perform some of the work of construc-
ton, such as grading, hauling sup
plies and material teaming, ETC. 1t is
not proposed to pay them in actual
cash, however, but in certificates
which will be accepted later by the
government, in lieu of cash payments
for water rights.

(Refers to the impending Japan WARP
Words of warning should not be
disregarded, they should fall on fruit

minds of those who are augmenting
the difficulties and stirring up strife
The keynote has been sounded; see
that We listen to it and fail not in time
of trial.
"All weak places must be enforced
and strengthened in every way posi-
bic, for the enemy's watchdogs are
lurking about, spying upon every ac-
ton that denotes preparation for de-
Tense. Be not deceived by fair outward
seeming, for in their hearts they har-
Dor murder and revenge. Their knives
are sharp, the aim of their guns dead
~ and they are fearless fighters I tell
you again. this is no time for faltering;
we must make ready on both sea AMI
land for their encroachment, which is
sure to come.
Men of the nation, appeal to you
to shake off the lethargy that encom-
passes you, and arise in the strength
of your noble manhood and disperse
the insidious foe that under the pre-
tense of serving have made themselves
masters of the situation"
Our Nations Needs.
Again referring to the impending
war with Japan and commenting in a
general way on our system of settling
national troubles, now in vogue. Mr.
Choate says:
In the hour of her great peril the
nation will need men who will take
| their lives in their hands and finch
not before any foe, either on sea OF
land; who will nobly respond to the
call when the Grst bugle note sounds;
who will march forth in the strength
of their noble and victorious manhood
/ and strike the blows that shall resounj
around the world, as in the days of old
when ''the embattled farmers stood
and fired the shot heard round the
world
| War is not a pleasant thing: it is
something to be avoided as long a.
possible. 1t is the fault of mankind; OF
the system they have inaugurated
that these troubles come upon US, anG
until there are men of might and MIND
enough to straighten out this tanglt
there will be trouble impending from
every source, that can only be quelled
by force of arms.
That is not the way man was in.
tended to live with his brother. Peace!
peace. not war, should be the watch
word. Equality and justice must as.
sumo control before these destructive
elements which are now filling the
land with turbulence and strife. in
every quarter, can be mastered. The
bonds of political slavery must be
broken: the rights that have beer
uSurped must be restored; wrongs thai
have been inflicted must be remedied
Then shall brother grasp the hand OF

be united, and peace and prosperity
shall rule our fair land.
