ment project will, within a few years,
prove to be one of the greatest ever
reclaimed. While the crops this wear
were not as successful as many ex-
pected, especially the cereals. those
who devoted their time to their pro-
ducts were rewarded with more than
fair success. and none are discouraged.
The garden crops We're almost the
equal of those grown in the Walla Wal
Ia valley, according to Mr. Ash, who
believes that landowners will hence
forth devote their attention to alfalfa,
fruit and garden varieties, rather than
to wheat and other grains. With the
announcement that the lands on the
north side of Snake river are to be re-
claimed by water from the Snake
thousands of homeseekers from the

DEEP TRADGEDY
AT THE STATION

Feeling certain way down in his
heart that O. r. & N. passenger, No. Z
would not pull out for Pendleton until
after No. had pulled into the sta
ton, a well known resident of one Of
the smaller towns on the line above
V-alla Walla, whose wife and children
were, seated in one of the coaches,
bound for PendletOn and the east, Saun-
tered leisurely through the we'll ap-
pointed waiting room of the o. r. & N.
station, while the train steamed on
toward the oregon town, under orders
to pass No. s at Spofford station.
Like many others who have under
gone the same experiment, the gentle
man was so certain that the trains
would pass in WaIla Walla that he
made no inquiries. and was not aware
his train had pulled out until the rear
end of the last coach was just beyond
reach, though near enough to cause
him to make a grand sprint to catch
it, without waiting for orders he set
out and for short distance managed
to break the speed record, but his wind
capacity was not sufficient to enable
him to keep it up, and with dis
gruntled. Disguised look, he turned
and walked thoughtfully back. to the
station.

family was travelling ahead with no
