Local business men are interested
in a report brought here by Engineer
Haynes of the Hanford Irrigation
project that an electric line is to be
constructed from Hanford to this
city within the next 90 days.
The Cascade Construction COM
pany this week completed the pump

at Coyote rapids, and was ready to
move, when it was suggested that
the company build the line to Ken
newick before leaving the country.
Superintendent Rogers of the con-
struction company agreed to build
the grade and lay the rails within
6O days and furnish bond for the
completion of the work within the
stipulated time, the Hanford people

On Fechter 4
Rudkin Land
Big Hay Ranch Subdiyided Into
Small Farms for Fruit and
Vegetable Growing.

The tendency in all irrigated sec
tions to cut up land into small hold
ings for intensive farming has a
striking local example in the Fecht-
er 4 Rudkin ranch east of town.
Last season and before this entire
ranch of more than 200 acres had
been in alfalfa and hay had made
the owners money, but having de-
cided to take large interest in the
Kiona Development Co.. , they plat
ted the hay ranch into five and ten
acre tracts which have practically
all been sold. w. H. Durham of
Tekoa purchased the ten acre tract
on which were located, the fore
mans residence and ranch build
ings. Already Rev. Tresenriter,
George Hills and F. w. Ethredge
have built homes.
We call to mind the names of
VIM. Kammeyer, Captain Brown,
OF Trcoma, and H. w. Desgranges,
as purchasers who will put up houses
on their tracts this season.
The alfalfa is being plowed nnder
and it's roots will add to the humus
of the soil and make it suitable for
the vegetable crops. For this season
crop most Of this land will be put
in early potatoes. The planting
will be done early next month.
Under the favorable conditions here
existing by reason of previous cult
vation the growers should duplicate
the trick of many a Yakima Valley
rancher who pays for his land with
the first years crop.
The final result will be that
twelve or fifteen families will live in
prosperity on this third of section
of land having all of the advantages
of farm life, mail delivery, telephone
and social contact without any of
the di "a vantages. Small
Small farms and a dense farming
population are advantageous, not
only to the farmers but to the entire
valley. 1t makes possible better
roads, better schools and higher
standard of education, better institu-
tions, and more enjoyable COM
munity life than elsewhere.

AIaskanS.

The report rendered this week as
to the physical condition of the
natives of Alaska is the work of the
medical bureau of the army and
states that the ravages of consump-
ton are more pronounced among
the natives of Alaska than in any
other part of the country. The con-
ditions for the propagation and
spread of the disease in the native
huts is almost ideal and while white
men living under sanitary condi-
tions are remarkably healthy in
this cold region, the physical de-
terioration of the natives is marked
and alarming.

Preachers Make Good at Farmin9.

In special article from it's North
Yakima correspondent under the
the above caption, the Seattle Post
Intelligencer has the following ap-
probation of Rev. and Mrs. Bartlett:
Rev. H. NJ. Bartlett, formely
rector of St. Michael's Episcopal
church at North Yakima, left North
Yakima four years ago for Kenne-
wick, where he has bought land and
set out an orchard. This year the
orchard will come into bearing, and
if the past year is any criterion for
the future, the returns should we'll
reward his four years hard work.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bartlett are both OF
unusual culture and taste, and their
North Yakima home was among the
m ,st artistically furnished in the
CITY. Mrs. Bartlett has done some
extensive European travelling, and
souvenirs of her trips add to the
interest and attractiveness OF her
home. Louis Quinze treasures and
Florentine mosaics hidden away in
a little house in the sage brush are
among the incongruties OF the
Northwest.

To Get At Value of Railroads.

Possibly a provision for the
physical valuation" of railroad
properties may be tackled on as an
amendment to the Aldrich Currency
Bill. The two subjects are not so
far apart as might be imagined at
first glance. The Aldrich Bill pro-
vides for the issue of additional bank
notes based on the value of railroad
bonds, among other bonds, deposit
ed as security with the government.
1t is held that it would not be fair
to allow an issue of notes up to Is
per cent of the market value of the
bonds, as provided for in the bill,
without ascertaining as near as
possible the exact value of railroad
property represented by the bonds.
The same effort for physical valua-
ton of railroad property was made
when the recent rate law was pass
ed. Senator LaFollette of Wiscon-
sin was the father of the measure
and it was warmly approved by the
President, but it was fought by the
railroad interests and finally knock
ed out. Now Senator LaFollette is
pressing the bill again and there is
some chance though not very much
of its being added to the Currency
Bill as an amendment providing
that railroad bonds shall not be ac-
cepted as security for note issues
till the actual value of the property
against which they are issued has
been ascertained. The President is
said to be in favor of this addition
to the bill and there are several of
the Republican senators who also
will back it. There is little question
that such amendment will have the
support of the Democratic side of
the House and possibly Of the Sem
ate as well.
The minority is fighting what it
recognizes is a losing fight against
the Aldrich bill. 1t was attacked
again this week by Senator Clay of
Georgia who pointed out that same
fault that has been found in it by
other speakers, that it practically
surrendered the money issuing
power of the government to few
corporations and fnanciers who
would be able to expand or contract
the currency almost at will. Senat-
or Clay declared that all of the
money issued by the national gov
ernment was fiat money with the
exception of the gold certificates.
He said that it was just as good as
gold because the guarantee of the
government was behind it and it
would continue to be good as long
as the government was solvent He
favored the minority plan of issuing
$500, 100000 of straight Treasury
notes to be used by the government
in paying its running expenses, be-
ing allowed thus to find their way
into the channels of trade. The
scheme is not much more scientific
than that of the Aldrich bill itself,
though it at least has the advantage
! of not being so easily manipulated
in the interests of high fnanciers.
