Nut Culture at Penawawa

AZ demonstrating the possibilities Of nut
culture In this part Of the Inland Empire,
II. \. Smith, who owns one Of the
lne iruit ranches at Penawawa, on the
Snake river, sent To town last week a
sack q English waInuts gathered from
lev trees planted in his front yard for
shade and ornament rather than for
commercial purposes. The trees will
yield at least two more sacks Of nuts, for
which there il a great demand at the
Lacey grocery store. The nuts are large
and the meat inside il equal to the best
shipped from California. No special care
was taken Of the trees. If they had been
planted IN the orchard, subject to cult
walton and irrigation, the yield would
doubtless have been greater. But it
shows what can be done here.

ROllingswOrth VS.. Ellis, InvoIy-
ing Riparian Rights.
Property North of the Court House
on Both Sides OF the South Pa
louise River in Controversy--T
Case Of School District No. 1922.

Judge Chadwick filed two important
decisions in the superior court yesterday
that are Of interest to the people Of
Whitman county. One is the case of
Hollingsworth W. Ellis, which involves
property just north Of the court house
on both sides Of the South PalOuse river,
riparian rights being involved. We ex-
cerpt literally from the written opinion
Of Judge Chadwick
Aoiiinqsworth VS.. Ellis.
Prior to March IS, 1896, plaintiffs
Hollingsworth and wife were the own
ers OF lot | and the south half Of lot 2,
in block ~, in the city Of Colfax, across
which the South Palouse river flowed in
a nOrtherly direction, part Of said lots
being on either side Of said stream. The
lots were plated 200 feet long and 50
feet wide. and extended the full distance
between Main and Mill streets in said
city. On the said date plaintiffs sold to
defendants Ellis and wife all. that part
Of lots | and described as follows, to-
wit: Commencing at the n W. corner Of
Mill and North streets in the city Of Col
fax, Washington, according to the re-
corded plat thereof; running thence n.

 Eighty fire companies and three fire tugs had all they could do to confine the conflagration to it's original linl- it's The intense heat rendered every eflort to save the elevators hopeless. The streams of water. by the time they had traversed the block from the nbS. zles were mere showers of spray which quickly formed into clouds of steam.
