debt, and leave us richer than before.
Our contention is. that in the life
time of persons now living, it will
bring us ten times more than II costs,
and be an asset for the. coming gen.
erations that will equal the assessed
valuation of some of the great ma
lions of the world. This added to
what we already have, will make us
greater than has ever been pictured
by the widest dreams of fancy.
Stop Needless Waste.
Again, If we could stop certain
needless wastes, and turn the money
into the channels of productive indus
try, 1t would solve the problem in an
incredible time. 1t is estimated that
the direct costs of the nations bill
for alcoholic stimulants is one bill
lion, two hundred and fifty million
dollars per annum. This does not
count the loss of time in labor power
caused by intoxication, loss of money
to tax payers in prosecuting cases
caused by the drunkenness; nor does
it count the loss of property caused
by the carelessness of drunkards. 1t
we could turn this annual loss into
| channels of productive industry, in
five years, we could irrigate every
acre of arid irrigable land in the
United States, and turn sage brush
deserts into millions of farms, or
chards and gardens.
What Money Would do.
We could drain the nations swamp
lands, and make them as productive
as the valley of the ancient Nile. We
could re-forest the barren hills and
mountains, and make them profitable
for timber, storage reservoirs of mOis
ture, and restore to them their prm-
tive beauty. We could improve our
highways, so that we could market
our produce with less than half the
present expense, and travel would be
a pleasure. We could make our riv-
ers, veritable highways for cheap
transportation, build ship canals that
would float the largest ocean steamers
and make many of our inland cities
seaports for the commerce of the ma
tons of the world
Pension Liquor Dealers.
We could then pension every liquor
dealer so that he and his family
should never want for the comforts of
life, give him a decent burial in death,
have money left with which to meet
the growing expenses of a growing
country and laugh at the primitive
methods of our present statesman
ship. We could do all this and more
if we would, but we have been so long
accustomed to certain evils, that we
seem to think them necessary to our
civilization and their wastes as mat
ter of course. In doing this, we will
fiatter ourselves that we are broad
minded" liberal in our views" and
POLITICALLY wise" until some great
financial collapse comes, as come it
will unless the laws of cause and eff
feet are reversed, and then we will
consider what fools we mortals be-"
GRANVILLE LOWTHER.

Clark O'Bryan Is well known in
North Yakima. having promoted the
Pomona Heights project in the east
Selah valley a little over a year ago.
For the handling of this proposition
he organized the North Yakima e.
East Selah Irrigation company and
set about the irrigation of lands lying
above the river on the east Selah
bench by means of a pumping plant
which was to have been located on the
river below the Umtanum canyon.
The North Yakima & East Selah Irri-
cation company was operating under
the water right said to have been held
by Charles Brian of the east Selah.
Had Stormy Career.
For many months O'Bryan has had
a stormy time. Work on the con-
struction of his irrigation system was
hardly commenced before suits were
started against him by men working
on the construction for money due.
Several judgments were taken against
his concern, which still remain I'M
paid. 1t is said that there are still
many outstanding bills for materials
and supplies held by local firms which
have never been liquidated. Several
months ago the trouble became so
acute and was augmented by the dis
satisfied property owners under the
project that the Title Guaranty &
Trust company of Seattle was made
receiver. The receivers report states
that O'Bryan has expended about
SIS 1000 on the construction of the ir-
rigation system.
Much Land Sold.
The east Selah bench comprises
some of the finest land that is known
in all of the Yakima valley. About
1000 acres of this land was sold to
settlers who in some instances cleared
it of sagebrush and erected homes,
preparatory to cultivation beginning in
1909, as the company guaranteed wa
ter on April l of this year. water
right was supposed to go with each
contract of sale. 1t is estimated by
men who purchased land under the
project that the company must have
realized nearly $50, 900 from the sale
of land.
There was no method of discover
ing at a late hour last night whether
O'Bryan's arrest in Seattle grew out
of misrepresentation of the company's
funds or not, but there are men inter-
ested in the affairs of the concern in
this city who believe such to be the
case. AS yet, however, the details are
lacking.
Water Users Working Alone.
The Pomona Heights Water Users
association, headed by B. o. Thrall,
are working out their salvation alone
Having cut loose from the North
Yakima & East Selah Irrigation COM
pany, which is depending on getting
it's water under the old Brian claim
they are exerting every endeavor to
come to some agreement with the rec
lamation service. Mr.. Thrall stated to
the Herald Friday evening that the
government had promised to sell them
storage water if they would abandon
all claims to the old Brian water
right. They have not consented to
this course as yet, but they have re-
ceived assurances from the depart
ment of the interior that their case
will receive just consideration when
Secretary Ballinger visits North Yaki-
ma in August. In the meantime the
original North Yakima & East Selah
Irrigation company, now in the hands
of receiver, is staying with it's claim
to water under the old Brian right.
