THE NEW ADDITION.

The Henry Bros, Addition to Hick-
man is being put in firstclass shape.
The four streets running through IL
have been graded up and the city
streets leading into the addition have
also been graded. Three acres of
ground, in which the famous sulphur
Spring is located, have been fenced
and made into a park. The spring
is covered by a substantial spring
house and dancing pavilion, about
25x25 is almost completed. Trees
have been trimmed and whitewashed.
and various other improvements made
The two-story brick house located in
the addition, which will be sold the
same as the lots, has been repaired
and will make a beautiful home for
the purchaser.
In all there will be about so lots
to sell in this tract, and three or four
acreage tracts. Most of these lots
are level and nicely located, and will,
when built up. make a pretty resi-
dence section. This place Is not
nearly so inaccessible as one might
suppose. Bridges have been con
structed over the ravines between
town and the. place so that it may
be reached in 10 or 10 minutes walk

COURT HOUSE AT PASCO

E. f. Redd, of Kahlotus, Wash, is
now in the city upon a business trip
and also to join his wife, who Is vis-
iting at the home of her mother, Mrs,
Mary Epple.
AS one of the commissioners of

considering plans for new court

while here he visited the local court
house for the purpose of gathering
some ideas upon the subject of court
house building.
That the section of Washington in
which he lives is now forging to the
front rapidly is declared by Mr.. Redd.
He believes that Pasco and the sur
rounding country is now in line to be-
come the important section that has
been predicted for many yeas.

c. III, POWELL SAYS NINE
TENTHS WANT TO FARM
Eastern Washington and Southern
Idaho Projects Were Better Adyer-
tised than Those of Oregon-Many
F1ocking to IdahO-Large Percent
age of Newcomers Were Small
Farmers in Middle States.

Among the homeseekers arriving
here last night was Charles II. Powell
of Iowa, Kansas. He was in Pendle-
ton during the forenoon today while
waiting for a train to eastern Wash
ington.
In speaking of the people who are
now flocking westward Mr.. Powell
said:
From the talks that l had with
people on the way out I believe that
nine tenths of them are looking for
land of some character. Most Of
these are after irrigated land about
which they have been hearing a great
deal during the past few years.
"On the train there was much talk
about the irrigated sections of south
ern Idaho. That section and portions
of eastern Washington seem to have
been much better advertised than
have the irrigated sections of Ore
gon. Many people left the train at
Nampa, Idaho"
When shown one Of the Umatilla
county booklets, Mr.. Powell praised
it highly, but he said he had never
seen or heard Of the booklet before
reaching the city. Many of the peo-
pie in his home county have been
receiving booklets from one of the
eastern Washington counties.
That nearly all the people now
coming westward are of responsible
class is declared by Mr.. Powell. Most
of them, he says formerly had small
farms in the middle states. Many of
them have not yet sold out back
there but expect to sell If they make
purchases out west.
Mr.. Powell himself was in the con-
fectionary business in the middle
states and 1t is his purpose to look
around over the northwest with a
view Of finding a new location.

In consequence of this contingency
the report that Castro purposes to-

Castro's presence in Venezuela would'
