WILL EXPERIMENT
TO ESTABLISH A STATION
UNDER TETON PROJECT
Government and State Will Work
Jointly In Furnishing Farmers

The government and state working
jointly will establish an experimental
station under the Tieton project is
the promise made by 5. 0. Jayne, rep
resentative of the United States de-
partment of agriculture, now in the
city.
r. w. Thatcher, in charge Of the
state station at Pullman college, has
talked the matter over thoroughly
with Mr.. Jayne, and they have finally
decided that an experimental station
of this nature could be located in no
more valuable place than on the Tie
ton.
This work will start with the open
ing of the irrigation project and the
first flow of water. Here will be
studied all the various phases of ag-
riculture which might be of benefit
TO an irrigated section, and it is be-
lieved such a station will prove to
be of Unreasonable value.

the people to get together and work
for the opening before the growing
season of 1909 sets in. They believe
that only by keeping after the inte-
rior department will the wish of the
people be respected and the reser-
walton thrown open.
Recently number Of the more in
telligent Indians of the reservation
who feel that they are now capable
Of managing their own affairs with
out the aid of the government met
together to see what could be done
toward releasing the reservation and
themselves from the government.
They are wholly dissatisfied with the
restrictions placed upon them as re-
CARDS the sale of their land, the leas-
ing of it, and such other matters.
They infer that the government OFF,
Gals on the reservations, including
Superintendent Jay Lynch and En-
gineer Redman, are delaying the OPP
ening for the purpose of holding their
jobs. They argue that il the govern
ment withdraws from the manage
n:ent of the reservation the officials
now in charge will be out of desira-
bic positions. and therefore they are
using their influence to delay the
opening of the land.
The white people. especially the
business men of the towns affected,
look at it from the standpoint of de-
velopment. AS 1t Is now, the Yakima
reservation, which is admitted to be
one of the most desirable tracts of
agricultural and fruit land in the en-
tire state, is at a srandstill as far as
progress is concerned. All the land
that is being sold is that of deceased
Indians. The land which is leased
from the Indians is not developed by
the white people to the extent thai
1t would be If owned by them. They
can not afford to plant fruit trees for
the reason that they will not come
into bearing much before the lease
expires. There is much land on the
Yakima reservation which would be
highly developed under the ownership
of white people.
1t appears likely that a united eff
fort will be made by the business
men of the towns interested to pre-
vail upon the government to pen the
reservation in time at least for the
season of 1909.
