ICE AND OPENING UP NEW
TRACTS FOR INVOLVEMENT.

Charleston, Wash, Aug. "a car
load OF mixed fruit ssut out by the
Charleston Fruit and Canning COM
pany few days ago included a fnc I
lot OF Triumph peaches, which were |
contracted to a Dakota commission |
house at Csc box, (. o. b. cars |
Lewiston. This shipment and the
general prospect OF 45c to 75c prices
for the bulk OF the crop, are highly |
encouraging to ClarkstonVineland
people.
Evidently the prospect seems
equally good to the Lewiston
Charleston company. as it now has
several pieces Of important work in
process of construction. This has
been going on for some time. but
hos been done SO quietly that little
iattention has been attracted to 1t.
About a mile and half Of S-inch
pipe has just been laid from the 32-
inch main on Charleston Heights
eastward between Blocks J2 and
IL. A big gang of men is now at
work completing the 32-inch pipe
line across the Shaff tract down to
The reservoir in Pomeroy gulch. This
last piece of work would have been
done a year and a half ago, but has
been held up by the necessity OF
condemnation proceedings, which
have only recently been decided in
the courts In favor of the company
These two pipe lines will carry wa
ter for some $50 acres OF new land,
which will soon be opened up and
placed upon the market.
The new road which will be built
j., from the mouth OF Pomeroy gulch,
! running close to the new concrete
dam, skirting the southeast boun
dary of the reservoir, around the
new power house, then in direct
line southwasterly along the 81

nearly a mile nearer to Charleston
and Lewiston than by the preseh
road.
