BRUFF GETS $500.
Possibility of Still Another Trial of
the Strength of the
InterrogatOries.

John H. Bruff was awarded $500
by the jury which has been hearing
his case against the Northwestern
Mutual Fire Insurance association.
Bruff asked for the full amount of
his policy, claiming that he lost in
fire at his home much money and
the jury found in full for him.
There is chance for new trial,
it is stated, from the interrogatories
which may be put, and it is probable
an attempt will be made to secure a
third hearing of the case.
1t required but Is minutes for the
jury to bring on the verdict rendered.
This ends the term of court and the
second trial of the case. Bruff
claimed he lost many hundreds of
dollars worth of colthes in the fire,
and his enumeration of undersuits
and fancy shirts caused the public
to have considerable interest.

YAKIMANS BRING REPORT
o. SUPPLY IN MOUNTAINS
Say Snow Is Deep and There Is
Every Indication of An Enor-
nous Flow This Year.

That there need be no worry over
water shortage this year is apparent
from the reports being brought to the
city by those who have visited the
mountains this summer. George
Weikel. of the Consolidated Fuel
company, states that one of the men
just in from the company's coal mines
states there is from eight to fifteen
feet of snow in that locality, and
that the cabin had over eight feet If
snow about it, The mines are at the
head of Dumping river, and all
through that section there is an
abundance of snow, or enough to
assure all kinds of water until after
the irrigating season is past.

BOOST PROSSER LINE.
Right-of.Way Will BE Secured and
Effort Made to Finance
the Line.

Efforts will be made by the bust
ness men of Prosser and vicinity to
finance sixty mile electric line in
Guiding extensions to Belma, to Pat
erson on the Columbia and to Bick-
Teton. Right of way agents are soon
to be in the field The following
from the epublican-Bulletin indi-
Gates the interest in the project:
by the latter part of this week or
early next representatives of the
Prosser Traction company will be in
the field securing right-of-way for
the companys road from Prosser to
Paterson on the Columbia and to
Bickleton. Klickitat county
The results of the reconnaissance
made some time ago by engineers
proved the plan an entirely feasible
one and blue prints of the proposed
routes have been in the hands of the
company for several weeks.
1T has been found that by making
double horseshoe turn from Sixth
street the summit of the Horse
Heaven hills can be made in a little
over six miles on agrade averaging
PA per cent and not exceeding pa
per cent except for very short dis
lance where three per cent will be
necessary. though even this may pos
sibly be avoided
THE engineers laid out several
lines after reaching the top of the
hill and which route will be taken
depends very largely upon the cost
OF right-of-way, the expense of which
will be demonstrated as soon as the
men have had the chance of visiting
the farmers affected.
THE total length of the lines reach
ing Paterson and Bickleton from
Prosser is about sixty miles and the
funds to push this portion OF the
Prosser Traction company's projects
to completion is assured Just as soon
as the promoters have demonstrated
their faith in the enterprise by the
running of the surveys and securing
of right-ofway.
MIR Frederick Finn and local par
ties are putting their own money in
to the project because they feel cer-
tain it will be paying proposition
and because the connection by elec-
tric road with outlying portions of
Benton county and neighboring dis
tricts will rpove of immense adyan-
tage to the business men and citi-
zens of Prosser they should receive
well as such financial support as is
required to ensure success"

ISLANDER JONES.
Takes Pains to Deceive the People
A. To the PaIOuse Irrigation
Project.


The Ankeny press syndicate per-
sistently ISLANDERS Congressman
Jones in the Palouse irrigation mat
ter. Why is not The proof of the
congressman treachery to the Pa
louise scheme forthcoming? Surely
if he possessed the power to suppress
the Palouse project and brought
about its defeat, sufficient evidence
Of his work would have been appar-
ent to his colleagues in congress.
1t is well known to everyone who
has looked into the matter carefully
that Congressman Jones from the
first was friendly 10 the Palouse irri-
CATION undertaking, which he pro-
noted as earnestly as was possible
for any member of congress to do
If any blame attaches to him, like
blame attaches to Senator Ankenv:
while on the Sther hand Senator An
kenys personal interests were in
some mysterious manner involved
Prior to any public announcement
that the government would abandon
the Palouse project, Ankeny's private
secretary, Mr.. Starter, came out from
Washington and sold his tract OF
land under the proposed water rights
for $3.50 per acre On this visit he
privately informed Walla Walla
friends that the government would
never take hold of the Palouse
scheme. 1t is obvious therefore that
Mr.. Slater had an inside tip as to
the intention of the government long
before the engineers report was
given out to the public; and it is rea-
sonable to assume that Senator An
keny was likewise in possession of
this early information.
Senator Ankeny unquestionably
furnished the money to buy the old
Palouse ditch, including 10000 acres
of land. This company had lost its
water rights at the time the govern
ment proposed entering the field.
Senator Ankeny moreover owned all
the land covered by this ditch in the
Washtucna coulee amounting to
about 1000 acres.
After the government abandoned
the Palouse project the old Palouse
ditch company renewed its water
rights and has since completed its
ditch, covering several hundred acres
of rich land just put upon the mar
ket. 1t is doubtful whether the rec
ord shows Ankeny's connection with
this enterprise. but people on the in
side know his money was used
Congressman Jones most intimate
friends in North Yakima have al
ready testified that they could not
swerve him from his original support
of the Palouse irrigation project, un-
til the secretary of the interior posi-
lively decided that under the $4,000
600 estimate of the cost the govern
litlil toulu uOl the ri
louise scheme. Then Congressman
Jones, with the other members of the
Washington delegation. set to work
to secure for the state of Washington
its proportionate share of the recla-
nation fund. and IN course of time
the Yakima and Okanogan projects
were adopted.
However the tactics OF the Ankeny
newspapers in this matter are Of a
piece with their general plan of cam
paign against Congressman Jones,
which is founded entirely on false
hoods and slanderous imputations
They have failed up to date TO utter
a single charge against Congressman
Jones that has the slightest ring of
truth or probability to it.

Indianapolis, Ind, June 24.-'The
way the Republicans in indiana are
taking to Taft and Sherman is very en-
couraging. The outlook for republi-
can success is much brighter than we
had hoped said Fred A. Sims, acting
chairman of the republican state COM
mittee.
"In Taft and Sherman the republi-
cans have nominated the easiest kind
of ticket for us to defeat in Indiana"
said Stokes Jackson, chairman of the
democratic state committee.
These widely different statements
were made casually by leaders of the
rival organizations.
Jackson has been touring the state
some with Thomas r. Marshall, of Co
lumbia City, nominee for governor.
1--WE are right in the midst of the cam
paign now" said Jackson. There
will be no let up until after the elect
ton.
THE formal opening of our cam
paign will take place sometime between
the 10th of August and September 1.

1T seems to me now that we shall
go into this fight in Indiana this fall
