DEVE:L. QPMENT
IN COLUMBIA

White Bluffs, Wash, Jan. 2S.-
Another irrigation company, with a
capitalization of $4,000 has been
formed at this place to irrigate 1000
acres of land Immediately adjoining
the new town of White Bluffs on
the north. Most of the capital for
this enterprise is furnished by Seat
tie and Tacoma capitalists. The Of
ficers of the company are: DR.. F.
R. Hill, president; G. A. Todd, secre-
tary and treasurer; James A. Kelly,
engineer; Fred NJ. Well, manager.
A gas producer power plant of 1,770
horsepower will furnish water for
the orchard acreage, and the water
will be carried to the land from the
Columbia river by means of a water
pipe system underground
White Bluffs was established by
Seattle and Tacoma men last July,
and before the first of this year ev-
cry lot in the original townsite and
all in the four additions had been
sold, together with all the orchard
acreage surrounding the city. In
that time all lines of business have
become represented, among the fea-
lures of the town being a $4,000 ho-
tel, weekly newspaper, public
park with a fountain, graded streets,
public library and a new school house
Two steamers, the Mountain Gem and
the w. r. Todd. are kept at work
steadily carrying the freight and pas
sengers for the up-river points.
The Hanford Irrigation and Power
company's plant Priest Rapids,
which is to furnish power for the irri-
cation system for $4,000 acres of
land under the ditch in this valley
and for theeleetric line which is to
be constructed through the White
Bluffs country, is nearly completed.
The finishing touches are being put
on the pumping plant at Coyote ra-
pids, and it is expected that water
will flow in the ditch by the first Of
April
Another large irrigation project is
being developed at Wahluke, on the
west side of the river above White
Bluffs, its promoters being Spokane
capitalists. A gas producer plant
will be used in this work.
This week postoffices were opened
at White Bluffs, Fordnah, Wahluke,
Haven and Mitchell, points along the
river in the White Bluffs country.

ACCEPTS CALL
TO SEATTLE
Rev. L. A. Hilton Will Leave March
1st to Assume Charge of Church
on the Sound.

The Reverend 7. A. Hilton, rector
of st. Luke's, after a careful con-
sideration on the subject, has de-
cided to accept the call to ST. Glenn
ents Church, Seattle. The Episco-
pal Church in this city owes it's be-

to the untiring efforts of Rev. Mr.
Hilton and his good wife She left
the comforts and advantages of a
city in the east and came with him
to assist in the organization of d
mission in this frontier town. Five
years ago Wenatchee was not what
it is now. When Mr.. Hilton brought
his family here he prepared not on
ly TO gather together the few resi-
dent communicates and hold serv-
ices in a hall, but to take up the
saw and hammer and help to build
the present parish house and rectory
as we'll
1t is not a matter of financial gain
with Mr.. Hilton, who will not be
materially bettered in making the
change, but in order that his sons
may have the higher educational ad
vantages and still be under the pa
rental roof.
There are few more able men

Luke'S, and Wenatchee suffers a dis
tinct loss in his removal.
All, however, will join in wishing
him and his family still greater use
fulness and happiness in his new
fold Mr. Hilton will leave for Sa-
attic about March l.

GREAT DES0LATI0N IN
FORMER RICH FORESTS
NATURAL WEALTH OF DALMATlA
DESTROYED
People Constantly Near Starvation
and Whole Family May Live for
Year on Product of One
Olive Tree
BY FLORENCE KEEN

My interest in forests was first
awakened by meeting some foresters
III Germany, many years ago. and SINE
then it has continually increased.
If you could see the desolation have
lately seen you would be heart sick TOR
poor Dalmatia. That country was once
one of the richest of the Roman
provinces, and during the reign OF
Diocletian, who had an immense palace
there, it supported a large population.
When it came into the hands of the
Venetian republic the trees on its fine
mountain slopes were ruthlessly sac
r.ficed for the ships of the conquerors,
the soil washed away, the springs ana
rivers dried up, and even Syria in its
desolation does not compare with 1t:
The attempts at cultivation by the
peasants are pitiful. AS far as possible
they collect the rocks and stones in
great mounds on the least desirable
ground of the tiny field, and where they
can find among the remaining rocks
earth enough for the roots of one olive
tree or even one grape vine, it is plant
ed. The chief impression, even then, Is
of a most successful crop of rocks ana
stones. One of the best fields of grape
vines 1 saw has the appearance of
rebbly beach. In that neighborhood
a whole family may live for year on
the product of only one olive tree-so
poor are they.
After the loss of the trees arose
terrible wind called the "bora," which
blows cutting blast for many months
of the year, and renders reforeStation
almost impossible. Stories are told Of
its oVerturning railroad trains, and l
was even told that women had to creep
to market on all tours. When l looked
incredulous my informant insisted il
was actually true. Having experienced
mild bora, 1 think I can believe 1t.
You can drive for miles In any direc-
ton and not see ten trees naturally
grown. These statements apply to the
northern portion of Dalmatia; further
south, the bora is not so strong and
cultivation is q trifle easier-but there
is no substantial difference.
Montenegro is about the same. There
the country is such a mass of noun
tains and the hills are so steep that the
earth washed down the hill sides seems
to have settled in little potholes and
gradually formed space large enough
10 cultivate-that is, the size of an
ordinary dining table. The livelihood
and existence of the poor peasant can
be better imagine than described.
From my observation in Italy, 1
should say that country is well on the
road to the same ruin as Dalmatia;
but they are trying now to rescue T..
They have state director of forestry.
At present anyone's eyes can see the
baroness Of the Apprentices, and the
muddy rivers, the small size and hign
price of firewood, the total absence of
wooden houses and the various make
shifts employed in place of wood

CITY REFUSES REFUNDS TO
TWO OIL CORPORATIONS
Not Valid Demands, Because Principal

When Assessed

City Attorney Leslie r. Hewitt yes
terday returned to the city council
petition No. IS from the Central Oil
company, asking for refund of S4524
paid by the company as taxes on it's
corporate franchise. AS the principal
place of business of this corporation
on the first Monday in March of last
year was in Los Angeles this assess
ment was, in the city attorneys opin-
ion, properly levied by the city asses
sor. and hence the claim does not con-
stitute a valid demand against the city.
Petition No. 81, from the Rice Ranch
Oil company, for a refund of $4,000 was
also returned the same being the tax
upon the corporate franchise of this
company collected by the city assessor
and the city tax and license collector.
AS the principal place of business of
this corporation was in Los Angeles on
the first Monday in March of last year
the franchise was properly assessed,
and the claim does not constitute a
valid demand.
