STORY NOT HALF TOLD.
w. z. Root Comes West and Decides to
Stay.

W. E. Root, a well-to do farmer 6f
Dodge Center Mimi, returned last
night to his home, after having visited
for a month with his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. H. d. Root, 1875 Chestnut street.
Mr. Root, Jr., came west at the urgent
solicitation of his father, who in let
tiers written to eastern relatives, set
forth some OF the beauties and advant-
ages of Walla Walla valley weather
and climate. These stories, as Mr..
Root acknowledged yesterday. were re-
ceived by the fasteners with a grain
of salt. Afr considering the matter for
time. it was decided that Mr. Root, jr.
should come west and make a tour of
inspection on behalf of his neighbors,
as well as himself.
Before stepping aboard the train yes
terday evening, Mr.. Root said that half
had never been told regarding the adj
vantages of the west, and announced
that he would never spend another
winter in the severe Minnesota cline.
While here, Mr.. Root invested in
21-acre tract of Hanford land, and ex-
poets to move with his family in the
spring to cast his fortunes with the
new settlers in that section.

Il think l can endorse your program
of not less than $50,000,0OO a year." he
said, smiling.
The applause that greeted his sur
render was deafening. 1t lasted for
minutes and then broke out afresh. The
statement meant much, for Congress
man Burton yields enormous influence
III his capacity as chairman of the
Rivers and Harbors committee of the
house. 1t is not unlikely, that hereaf-
ter bill for river and harbor improve
ments carrying $4,000, 600 or more will
be passed annually.
In addition to waterway improve
ments, the governors at the White
House conference will discuss irfiga-
tior.. streams and q half dozen allied
topics. There will be no set speeches,
according 10 the tentative arrange
ments. but each person present has
been invited to come prepared to dis
cuss the question in which he is most
interested.
