provide the entire Ahtanum valley

provide the entire Ahtanum valley
with water.
The plan is this: That when the
Teton canal is constructed, that the
electrical plant used in constructing
the canal be turned over on some
reasonable basis to the Ahtanum wa
ter users association. This power
is very cheap and water in abund-
ance can be gotten by sinking wells
about the Ahtanum valley from 10
to % feet in depth. The use of
cheap electric power will enable the
settlers to pump this water at their
own pleasure and will give them an
abundant supply at all times during
the year
This indeed win put the Ahtanum
valley in a fine position from the ir-
rigation point of view and will en-
able the lands to be cut up in five
and ten-acre tracts throughout the
valley and irrigation by this means
will be as cheap, if not cheaper, than
under the Tieton canal.
There will be a meeting of all the
resiients of the Ahtanum valley in
the near future, with the view of APP
pointing a committee to meet the
secretary. The secretary's letter is
Washing e. ,. c.,
Dear SIR
l have been considering the ques-
ton of the use of the water of Alta
mum creek upon the Indian lands.
and the claims of the white settlers
on the opposite side of the creek.
lit is clear to me that the time
has come for final settlement of
these adverse claims, but l am adj
vlsed that the settlers have not an
organization which represents all
their different interests. If the set
tiers will appoint committee and
clothe it with full power to act for
all the different interests | will be
in position to Immediately confer
with the committee and effect a final
settlement of the different rights.
Unless such committee be imme-
ditely formed and clothed with the
requisite power, it will be necessary
for me, as representing the Indians,
to begin an action in court to deter
mine definitely their rights.
1t is surely to the best interests of
all concerned that this matter be
settled by agreement rather than as
a result of litigation. The settlers
will find, as l told them last sum-
mer, that he Indian office desires to
meet them half way in effecting a
readily understand, it is quite i'm
possible for the government to at
tempt to deal individually with these
settlers. Any agreement made with
one would necessarily be without
effect upon any of the 9TH
ers. In order to make a definite
will you please say to
the representatives of all the inter
ests that unless the committee is or
ganized in the manner | have above
indicated on or before March 5, it
will be necessary for me to immedi-
ately take up the question of a bill
in equity.
In this connection, you may say
to all the persons interested that
they must place no dependence
whatever upon water being fur
nished to them from the Tieton
canal. l am convinced by the re-
ports of the engineers of the recla-
nation service that it would be most
unwise to make even a suggestion,
much less a promise, that water may
be furnished from that source TO
lands at present irrigated from
Ahtanum creek.
Very truly yours,
JAMES RUDOLPH GARFIELD,
Secretary.

remedy for wOman'S ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old-fashioned days of

the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years in
the study of drugs,
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia 4. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave TO the women
Of the world a remedy for their pc
culidr ills, more potent and eiliCa-
cious than any combination otdrugs
Lydia r., Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for wuman's ills.

the whole depot was awake to her

words calculated to reform the boy

the crowd around the ,wo was grow

DROUGHT RUINS
BANK CREDITORS

The protracted drouth throughout
the Arkansas valley this season. has
placed in jeopardy the irrigation pro-
ject of the defunct State Bank of
Rocky Ford, upon the success of
which depended large dividends to
depositors. SFf
The amount involved in the loan
to DR.. w. e. Fenton, who was to
have constructed this project, was
s172,S14.76 Fenton owned a large
tract of land near Rocky Ford, and,
f the irrigation and pumping scheme
he had planned had been carried to
consummation, the funds of the bank
would have been speedily returned
thereto and the bank would not have
gone under.
After the failure of the bank and
the promoter desired to let go of
the proposition, eyt Ssnator George
Washington Swink. father of the
seedless watermelon, took hold of
the project and offered to construct
the canal if the bank would give him
time, and return the full amount of
he loan to the creditors of that in
stitution.
The season has been unfavorable
for the prosecution of the scheme and
the bank creditors may not get mere
than 10 per cent of their deposits.

INVESTIGATING RAILROAD RATES

Much interest has been aroused by
state commerce commission that when
ever II may be thought advisable the
commission will investigate cases of
advanced railroad rates without walt
ing for a formal complaint.
The commission has no power to pre-
vent an advance except after a rate
has gone into effect and formal com
plant has been filed. But complaints
of injustice will pour in RAPIDLY enough
in case the commission begins an in
vestigation on it's own account. It viii
not lack opportunity to apply whatever
remedy its voluntary inquisitior may
show to be needful.
Hence the significance of the an
nouncement that inquiries of the kind
in question may be made lies in the
warning 1t conveys to the railroads
now discussing the question of advanc-
ing freight rates. 1t is practically no
tice that the roads which advance rates
however Just they may ultimately be
shown to be. Confronted with what is
virtually notice of an inquiry, they
may hesitate about enforcing n policy
which would plunge them into pro-
longed litigation.
There is no question that the com
mission has power to make an investi-
cation of the kind Observation-Disclosures
