expended in any state. It's share will
be $S,S00,000 of which $1,S90,000
is to be expended on the Minidoka
project by the end of June, in order
that water may be available for ir-
rigation there this year. Upon the
Boise-Payette project $1,91O,OOO will
be expended.
Wyoming will get the largest sum
next to Idaho. 1t will be $3,77O,OOO.

100 Acres. If You Please.


The appended resolution passed re-
Gently by homesteaders of Hartley
Gulch, Dist. No. 2, North Side Pay
ette-Boise Water Users Association,
is self-explanatory
Whereas, it has been reported
that it was the intention of the in
terror department to establish 80
acres as the farm unit on the Boise
Payette project in Idaho; and where
as d. w. Ross, the Government en-
gineer in charge of the reclamation
service in Idaho has informed us that
all we can expect at present is the
flood water of the Boise River, which
will only enable us to raise grain
crops and possibly one crop of alfal-
ia, the raising of fruits and vegetab
ia, the raising of fruits and vege-
tables being impractical: also most
of our claims have more or less
rough land, and land above the
canals, the cost of retaining same
under present conditions would be
excessive, and most of us have al
ready lived on our homesteads five
years. Therefore we, the undersigned,
homesteaders on the North Side of
Boise River, respectfully petition the
honorable secretary of the interior,
]. A. Garfield, to allow each of us
the amount of land filed on by us.

Final Proof on Reclamation Home.
Steads,

SISdOS.
Commissioner Cupp is in receipt of
letter which is of interest to home
steaders in Reclamation Projects. The
letter reads as follows:
Mr.. Walter R. Cupp,
Caldwell, Idaho.
Dear Sir:
Senate Bill 131, introduced by me-
copy of which l enclose as requested
providing that final proof could be
offered and full payment made on the
homesteads on Government Reclama-
ton Projects at the end of five years
residence, will not be pressed, as the
Department has decided to accept
final proof and full payment at the
end of five years residence period
providing the law has been complied
with in regard to cultivation, making
this legislation unnecessary.
Very truly yours,
W. B. HEPBURN.
Heretofore, the Interpretation OF
the homestead and reclamation laws
to the effect that final proof could
not be made until after the ten year
period providing for payment of wa
ter under the reclamation projects
This Interpretation made it necessary
to avoid contests, for homesteaders
to maintain residence for ten years
after water was put on the land even
tho they has resided thereon several
years before the completion of works
Senator Heyburn's bill referred tC
in his letter provided that after five
years residence, final proof could be
made, making the homesteader safe
against contest thruout the rest oil
the period. The recent interpreta
ton of the homestead and reclama
ton laws provides that proof must
be made according to the old home
stead law, holding that the reclama
ton act in no manner affects the
homestead requirement in this res
pect. The exact conditions and re
quirements will be issued in the
form of a circular, now in process
of preparation.

Eastern Washington.
An extract from his poem called
puget Sound" published in Seattle
in year 1888:
The finest land one ever saw,
Lies east of us in Yakima.
That land of bunch grass, grapes and
corn,
Peaches and melons all adorn:
Pumpkins there like barrels grow
Land of Sunshine, and of Snow.
Tomatoes, apples, plums and pears,
All these do well with little care.
Sorghum plenty to sweeten ones life:
Broom-corn also to sweep away
strife;
Peasant beans and cabbage and kraut,
And onions abound to bring the tears
out;
Potatoes, and hops, the bread to make
rise
These have we seen with our own
eyes.
That bunch-grass land is hill and
plain,
From north to south, It's all the
From Wallulas fort to British land
Nine-tenths are good-one-tenth is
sand.
The sand is full of grains of gold,
And yet the half has not been told.
Rivers and lakes and springs abound
From Occur d'Alene to Puget Sound.
Now all that inland empire vast
Must pour its products here at last.
The iron horse can do this deed,
And soon he will with feetest speed;
Returning them our coal and fish
And other products as they wish,
Now when this coming day shall
come,
When east and west are bound in one,
A city on this sound shall rise
Eclipsing all beneath the skies.
Our moneyed men must speak the
word,
And then this greatness is secured.

North Fourth street, Wednesday ev-
ening. The ring service of the Epis-

DR.. LOWTHER FOR THE SENATE
The Well Known Democratic Lawyer
Is Too Hard Pressed in the
Practice of His Profession.

Without the sanction of Hon. H. j.
of what is about to take place in the
ranks of local democracy, reporter
for the Herald Is in a position this
morning to state that Mr.. Snively in
tends to withdraw from the race for
state senator. His intention has been
made known to R. A. O'Brien, chair
man of the democratic county COM
mittee.
Mr.. Snively feels that he has not
the time to spare from his fast grow
ing law practice to devote to politics,
and he realizes that If he stays in
the race for senator he will be COM
PEELED to get out and make fight.
This he has not the time to do.
With the determination Of Mr..
Snively to pull out of the race for
senator arises the renewed efforts of
the management of the Yakima coun-
ty democrats to contest that office
at the general election. Therefore
1t has practically been decided that
Granville Lowther shall resign his
nomination for the state legislature
and file for the senate in the place of
Mr.. Snively, and that one office on
the democratic legislative ticket be
left blank. The decision of Mr.. Low
Their to make an active campaign
throughout the county has probably
prompted the action of the demo-
cratic committee in urging upon him
that he come out for senator in the
event of Mr.. Snively resgning. Just
what steps the democrats expect TO
take to get Mr.. Lowther on their
ticket as a candidate for state sena
tor is a question that is causing them
some worry. Chairman O'Brien
says, however, that the difficulty can
be easily overcome, and that he will
d,vulge the plan later.
More than usual activity is now be-
ing displayed by the democrats here.
They seem to think that they have a
chance to elect several candidates to
office this fall, and whether they be-
lieve it or not, they are at least de-
termined to put up fight.

ton Wenatchee has enough plate dis

The District Awards.
The awards for the various district
displays Of the Yakima county sec
ton were made during the afternoon
and the judges had considerable diff
ficulty in picking the winners. II
finally settled down to Fruitvale for
first place, an award of 500: with
Fairview second at $50 and Mckee
third at $40. Naehes was considered
in fourth place, bur there is no award
made for that position.
Sore peop'e appeared to be sur
prised that the Mckee valley could
make such a fine showing of fruit,
but to those acquainted with this
wonderful section of the country the
exhibit is no "eye-opener. The
Mckee has some of the finest orch
ards, as well as hay fields and hop
in the entire Yakima valley.
and while the fruit trees are nearly
all young, there is a certainty that
it will be one of the prolific fruit
producing areas of the county.
Lee Wins on Vegetables.
William Lee. Jr., who placed the
Yakima county vegetable exhibit,
won first premium in that and Sec
ond place went to ] J. Jansen, who
represented Pierce county.
These two exhibits were close
ones, and the judges did a lot OF
figuring as to which made the best
showing. Lee has taken away the
first place at several fairs.
In Apple Packing.
In apple packing the awards went
to Gibson x Dickson, first; J. How
ard Wright, second; Fl. NJ. Gilbert,
third, and Yakima Horticultural
Union, fourth. Tie packs of Yakima
Horticultural Union, II. NJ. Gilbert
and the Yakima Valley Fruit Grow
ers' association were given lower
points on account Of having labels
on the boxes.
The judges are working on the
various plate displays and expect to
have the awards finished in the hor-
ticultural division by this evening.
The fruit display is the largest that
has ever been made in the northwest,
and there has been keen competition
in every division. Not only were the
county exhibits close rivals, but the
districts of Yakima county did every
thing possible to secure awards.
The apple packing contest was one
that excited interest, and the packs
shown are the best that have ever
been seen in this section. They are
liberal education to fruit shippers.
The plate displays are more nu-
merous than ever, and the wonderful
variety of apples, grapes, pears and
other fruits catches the eye of every
visitor at the horticultural hall.
Much credit for this condition must
be given to Edward Remy, one of the
fair commissioners, who is superin
tendent of the horticultural depart
ment. He has been working indus
triously to bring up the fruit end of
the fair. and he has accomplished his
desire. The fruit growers of Yakima
and other counties have Joined heart
lily with him, and the result is evil
dent. The fruit department of the
fair is its best feature
