FROM WORKSHOP TO FARM.

The Yakima Republic tells a good
story of success which accompanied an
eLterprising resident of the Sunnyside
country from his former place in a
workshop to independence on the farm.
-Four years ago, according to the
story, the man was working in rail-
road car snop at 81 day. He loaned
some money, probably all his savings,
to a friend to buy land. The cash was
not repaid. AMI the little tract of five
acres fell to the workman. AT the So
licitation of his wife he quit working
for wages and began life on the farm.
In the past year his three-acre orchard
returned more than $1,000. The man es-
climates that he has a credit of over
IS day above all expenses of, operat-
ing his place. :
That amateur farmer went upor. the
land in a reluctant manner He did not
believe that a family could be sup
ported from the proceeds of five
acre tract. Now he confesses that the
profits from little more than one
half of the farm amounts to Sc day
for the entire year In addition to the
orchard the farm has a garden spot
There the family cultivated all sorts of
vegetables. The place supports a pen
of hogs. a COW, a horse, and a lot Of
poultry. The owner states that he has
often felt ashamed of himself for TAX
ing life so easily when he had always
been accustomed to hard work Yet the
story is being duplicated in many
chard sections of the state.
Living on a farm and trying to
make it profitable financial invest
ment' is not always followed by the
brightest sunshine There are many
dark places in the fields orchards and
gardens. Sometimes the beginner in
agriculture finds it difficult to hold his
head above the waves of the financial
storm. There are pests to fight and
climatic changes that play havoc with
fruits. Competent help cannot always
be obtained at the right time and
much of the fruits are lost, The mar
ket tiuctuates with supply and de-
mand and small shipments may some
times be Improbable But the care
full manager finds way out of all dif-
ficulties and in a few years becomes
practically independent.

ADJUSTMENTS
Sentenced for Another Yesr.


Miss Margaret Moffatt. who plays
Molly Livingston" in 'Strongheat'
the attraction announced for the
Keylor Grand theater on Wednesday,
January Is, is now in her third year
in the role and finds that her success
in these parts is, in a measure. prov
ing handicap to her desire to Gre
ate other parts.
At the end of last season she. as in
the year previous, requested Henry B.
Harris to place her with one of his
other companies, Just for the novelty
of playing something besides the
cheerful college girl of the De Mile
play"
Mr.. Harris listened to her appeal
and in his usual kindly manner re-
piled: Not much. 1 presume you
may have become a little weary Of
playing one part for two years but,
my dear girl, the public has not.
Therefore. you are sentenced to an
other year as "Mollie," in support of
Ralph Stuart"

Those Bicycle Transgressors.

To the Editor
OF late the fines, for. not observing

merous. 1t may have a funny side and
seem that little else was doing at po-
lice headquarters For the annual re-
port of the cops shows that there
were a great many more bicycle GRIM
inals prosecuted than of any other
kind
A few days ago l. myself. had the
misfortune after dybreak to fall into
the hands of the bike cop for not
having light when it was already

Clusively only iaboring men and boys
who must make their own living are
the ones who are arrested. while ladies

ANKENY- JONES FIGHT BAD FOR
STATE.

question that is arising in the
minds of great many men. interested
in the commercial advancement of the
becoming so apparent between Senator
Ankeny and Congressman Jones, Is not
going to retard much needed legisla-
ton for the state of Washington dur
ing the present session of congress.
In eastern Washington we are much
interested in congress making an APP
preparation for the betterment of the
Columbia river for navigation and al
ready we have witnessed both Con-
gresham Jones and Senator Ankeny
lay claim to the honor of. securing an
order for the survey of the upper river,
between Kettle Falls and Bridgeport.
Happily the clash of political inter
ests did not deter the secretary of the
navy authorizing the surveys made,
but the question is. will not other mat
tiers. vitality affecting the interests of
the Inland Empire. be jeopardzed
through the jealousy of the rival
statesmen.
Congressman Jones' Saturday, sue
ceeded in getting through the lower
house. bill granting the Benton
Water company the right to construct
a dam across Snake river at Five Mile
rapids for the purpose of generating
electrical power and irrigating a vast
body of now worthless land in Walla
Walla, Franklin and Benton counties.
Under the plea that to grant the Ben
ton Water company a right to con-
struct the dam. is to give away a val
liable franchise to a private corpora
ton. considerable opposition has come,
to light and resolutions protesting
against the bill unless the govern
ment places certain restrictions on the
Benton Water company, have been
adopted by the commercial bodies of
Pasco. The Walla Walla Commercial
club is now asked to adopt similar
the matter will be brought before the
members to be voted on. From the tone
of Senator Ankeny's paper. it is evil
dent that he is opposed to the bill as
it was passed in congress Saturday
on the grounds that to give
the Benton Water company the right
to construct a dam across Snake river
would be to give the company Il mo-
nopoly of the water rights on that
magnificent stream. which should be
held for the benefit of the people and
not be given TO any private corpora
ton. 1t is also asserted that if the
dam should be constructed by the gov
eminent it would be built Oh a much
larger and more substantial scale and
would. consequently. be a greater ben
eft to steamboat navigation. No doubt
this is true but with our delegation at
Washington. divided against itself, the
probability is that if we wait for the
government to build that dam it will
never be built until Congressman
Jones Or our own senator is backed off
the political map and the Washington
delegation works ir. harmony for an
appropriation for building it. There is
no question but that the construction
of the dam proposed would result in
retaining vast body of now worth-
less land and the generation of inn
mense horsepower for use ia electric
railways and manufactures. all OF
which would be of unto benefit to
the state of Washington and more
particularly to walla walla and towns
