icle.
THAT is going to be the greatest
wrestling match of the decade, when
Gotch meets Roller" says Sullivan.
"Gotch has more holds than any
wrestler l have ever seen. He has
holds that no one else knows and he
has so many of them that the other
fellow never knows what Is coming.
He is faster than ever.
"As for Roller, every one knows he
must be good or he could not win
from the men he has met in the last
year, He is big and strong, knows
the game, is fast and heady. 1t will

MORE IRRIGATED TRACTS
FOR KENNEWICK VALLEY
Surveyors Are Running Lines for
Many Acres Of Valuable Land Near
TOtVn

Surveyors Are Running Lines for
Many Acres OF Valuable Land Near
Town.
For the purpose of hrigating sew
eral thousand acres Of what is con-
ceded 10 be the most valuable land In
the state of Washington, Fechter q
Rudkin, purchasers OF the Northern
Pacific Irrigating canal, are having
surveys made on what is known as
the Relief flats west of Kennewick.
says the Reporter. For several days
surveyors have been running lines
and il their report is as satisfactory
as is expected there IS every reason
to believe that the project will be
completed.
With a lift of 15O feet 1t is believed
that 1000 and 5000 acres Of that eX-
cellent land can be put under water
and made to produce such fruit as
only the Kennewick valley can grow.
The land is above the frost line and
is remarkably productive, waiting only
for the water to convert II into the
richest soil in the northwest.
Although no official information
can be obtained, as nearly as can be
learned the scheme is to establish
large pumping station In the vicin'
ity of Relief and take the water from
the Northern Pacific canal to be dis
tributed through bitches to be con
structed on the flats above. While 1t
will require large amount of mon
ey to complete this enterprise ii is
an acknowledged fact that the re-
suits would more than amply justify
the investment.
The work of surveying has been
going on quietly as have other in
vestigations since the purchase of the
ditch by Fechter & Rudkin.
It is known that other capitalists
have become interested and there is
every evidence pointing toward some
startling developments in the Kenne-
wick valley in the near future.
"Those who are in any way famil-
lar with conditions around Kennewick
will realize what it will mean tol
have those Relief flats irrigated"
said one Of the largest real estate
dealers In the valley. "There is no
land like it in the Kennewlck valley,
the Wenatchee or Yakima valleys, or
anywhere on the coast that know
of, If Fechter & Rudkin irrigate that
land they will be improving the best
tract Of land l know of. 1t will mean
more development in this section than
there has been for some time and it |
is certainly to be hoped that they |
will succeed with the enterprise"
