Lower the Sunnyside Irrigation
Ditch.

An immense concrete siphon for
the Sunnyside canal is to be built
by the North Coast railroad at Grand
view, and preliminary work on the
engineering and construction task

the recent history OF II. Cook. who
on Saturday completed a deal for
the purchase OF 20 acres of three
year-old orchard on Mob Hill. known
rs the Richardson ranch. The sale
was negotiated through the firm of
Tenant & Miles and the considera-
ton was $4,000.
Rich Mine Operator.
Mr. Cook is one of the successful
mine operators OF Alaska and will
return to Fairbanks, where he owns
many valuable claims. early in Feb
ruary. His return trip will have to
be made over the trail from Valdez
! and is necessitated because of his
large interests in the north which
demand his presence.
Tough Tussle With Fortune.
Mr.. Cook is one of the early Wash
ington pioneers and was a lumber
man on the sound in the vicinity of
Seattle before the fire which Destroy
ed that city in 1889. He was in
Vancouver, b. c., when gold was dis
, covered in Alaska and joined the
klondile rush to Dawson. reaching
there in August of 1897.
Mr.. Cook is very quiet man and

claims upon which we work seven

When asked IL he intended to make
Yakima his future home. Mr.. Cook
replied that he would be unable to
spend much of his time here for a
year or two. but that eventually.
when his mining interests demanded
less of his attention. he might re-
main here many months of the year.
