RYE MOST FEASIBLE

This problem has been worked
on for many years with Indifferent
success. One of the best grasses
for that purpose is quack grass,
but as it is one of the worst Of
weeds, great caution should be used
in sowing it where the seed is likely
to be scattered over the country by
the winds or running water.
Another grass that is tolerably well
adapted for this purpose is bronze
grass, though it is not really we'll
adapted to quite the conditions
found in the drifting sands along
the Columbia. OF the grains the
most feasible crop for such condi-
tons is rye. 1t makes a very quick
growth, and will produce a large
amount of vegetation with less water
than any of the other cereals. This,
as you may know, is often used in
such portions of the irrigated belts
as are subject to drifting. Rye is
seeded in these localities as protec-
ton for alfalfa. Another grass that
is sometimes used for such purposes
is commonly called beach grass
(Ammophalia arenaria.) l would
suggest that for a trial you seed a
combination of winter rye, bronze
grass and beach grass as soon as we
have had enough precipitation to
moisten the soil nicely. This is
the best suggestion that we can
make, but we would in no sense
guarantee the success of such trials. ,

ANOTHER RIVER
IRRIGATION PROJECT
Yakima Company Soon To Start Priest
Rapids Town

Bids are now being received by
the Rose Land Company of this city
tor one OF the largest pumping plants
IN this section of the state to irrigate
2,UO acres of land along the Col
umbia river in Yakima and Kittitas
counties. R. J. Logan, secretary
OF the Rose Land compony, stated
Friday that the contract will prob
ably be let next week. Nine firms
bid on the work.
The land, which will be watered
ny the system, lies along the west
bank of the Columbia from a point
opposite the town of Beverly to
Priest Rapids. 1t is traversed by
the proposed branch line of the
Milwaukee.
The proposed plant will cost
between S25, 900 and $4,000 and
will have capacity of from 5000
to 10000 gallons of water a minute.
1t will be completed and ready for
operation Feb. Is, 1910. The
company will construct about five
miles of bitches and main laterals to
supply the land. About 800 acres
of the land is now in alfalfa.
An important part of the project
is townsite which the company
will lay out in the extreme SOUTH
elst corner of Kittitas county and
which probably will be called Priest
Rapids. 1t will be on the spur which
the Milwaukee is building down
the Columbia from the point where
it crosses that river. '-Yakima

Washington, Oct. 22.-"Quito enjoys

The above is the essence of the re-

William c. Fox. the American min

Quito, has been flooded with requests
for advice as to whether consumptives

BANKS DENOUNCE LAW.
Sixty Oklahoma Institutions Oppose
the Guaranty Statute.

Tulsa, Okla. Oct. 22.-With but one
dissenting voice. the members of group
four of the State Bankers section,
representing sixty banks in the eastern
part of the state, denounced the state
banking board for it's methods in deal
ing with the affairs of the Columbia
Bank & Trust company of Oklahoma
City, at a meeting here. They also de-
manded that the state bank examiner
issue a statement regarding the condf-
ton of the bank. The guaranty law
was declared failure.
Resolutions were adopted recon-
mending that the state banking board,
as it now exists, be abolished; that the
guaranty fund be redeposited with the
banks from which it originated and no
interest be paid on the money so de-
posted; that the expense of maintain
ing the guaranty law be met by the
state, and that when a bank liquidates
it shall have the right to take over as
assets the usual ratio of the guaranty
fund contributed by the bank

looking first at one group of horses

savage growing rolled thunderously
over the plains. Seeing Simba and me

lashing quicker and quicker.
"Resting my elbow on Simba's
