Sub.Irrieation Orchards and Garden
Lands

All that has been said about irri-
cation and its importance to the
future of the ''far west" is most
true, and the interest in its devel-
opment is shared in by the whole
nation. In the state of Washing
ton but two-fifths of the acreage is
capable of cultivation, and of that
amount the irrigable valleys form
very small percentage. The total
acreage so utilized is not only
small, but only recently developed,
and nurtures no orchards of an age
sufficient to contribute materially
to Washington's great fruit ship
ments. Whence then came the
great fame of Washington's apples,
which are sold at fancy prices in
the metropolitan centers and mar
kets of Europe? Their great repu-
tation was made on the rich apple
orchards and fruit farms of the up
lands, the wonderfully productive
hills of this great commonwealth.
That this is so, is no discredit to
the irrigated districts, which in
time may produce as fine fruit and
vegetables as the hill lands. There
are thousands of acres of produc-
tive irrigated lands, but there are
hundreds of thousands of acres OF
rich upland, known as sub-irrigated
lands, equally rich and productive,
that are yearly proving their worth
by their works. These sub-irrigat-
ed lands on the hills are rock and
clay formation covered with pure
lava ash soil, without gravel, per
fectly pulverized and very suscep-
tible to moisture. The very mild
rains and its tendency to pack
when wet has allowed the soil to
remain on the tops and sides of the
greatest hills. These hills conform
to the rock and clay formation
from which there is a constant flow
OF water from springs under the
soil. On the higher hills delicious
pure water is found at from three
to six feet depth. This is the SUP.
ply OF water that sub-irrigation
furnishes that is so little under.
stood. The soil being susceptible
to moisture, it readily absorbs it.
and the suplus is drained of
through surface evaporation. In a

Turning Old Stumps Into Good Money

Anent the stump discussion
started recently by B. S. Defenbach
in an interview at Boise, the follow
ing Will be of interest:
Turning the barrens into gold is
a science. An infant industry of
few years ago has developed into a
great conversion of useless pine
stumps into costly chemicals. Che
boygan soon is to feel the effect of
this new occupation says Che
boygan, Mich, dispatch to the New
York Herald.
There are 100000 acres Of pine
stump land in Michigan. These
vast lands are now worthless, a
monument to the wastefulness of
an obsolete industry. But these
100000 acres will average Is
cords of stumps to the acre. And
each cord will give, through a
newly found chemical progress,
liquids to the value of $25.75.
Such at least is maintained by the
formers of a turpentine company
to build a factory here.
There are four turpentine stump
plants in Michigan. They are To-
Gated at Cadillac, Herbert, Gray
ling and Nolan. But all are small
plants. most of them of 36-cord
weekly capacity. The syndicate
being formed, which will build a
plant here, will work on plan
larger than any hitherto attempted
in the north. A 228-cord burner
will be installed, eight times larger
than any in the state. There are
50. 900 acres of land about Cheboy-
gan which the syndicate says it
has contracted for. The capacity
of its plant will be 400 acres a
year, so slowly and carefully are
precious liquids drawn from the
hitherto considered less than
worthless stumps.
1t is through what is termed the
obstructive distillation process
that this economic movement is
made possible. The. stumps are
subjected to a dry heat and the
liquids drawn until nothing but
pure charcoal remains. From each
36 cords of stumps are drawn $500
gallons of commercial value liquid,
$40 gallons of turpentine, 1892
gallons of pine tar, $50 gallons of
embalming fluid and the remainder
IN disinfectants of various varie-
ties.

word, the geological formation and
the physical changes which the
forces of nature have wrought, have
made it necessary to supply the
water to valley lands from the sur
face. The same causes have given
the hills their water underneath
the soil, which can have outlet only
through the surface of the ground.
These conditions are peculiar to
the Pacific coast, and to the east
erner appears a subversion of ma
ture. The record crop of fruits
produced on these hills are, how
ever, tangible evidence that nature
fully understands her business. A
popularity of the soil is that the
moisture, even after weeks of sum-
mer drouth, is found at depth Of
from one to two inches, while the
surface is dry. Such a condition
tends to conserve the moisture and
makes easy the labor Of those who
successfully practice dry farming.
The ideal conditions we believe
to be in the hills of the Spokane
country. Their elevation from the
valleys is from 100 to 600 feet, and
the old orchards that crown them
produce a perfect and firm fruit
that is admired the world over. On
the hill tops the nights are warmer
than in the valleys, which minim-
ICES the danger from frosts of early
spring and late fall. Many fruits
and vegetables are grown to matur-
lty on the hills that the cold nights
OF the valleys would preclude.-J.

DIFFICULT TASK TO
SECURE A JURY
Jurors Will Be ard to Get for
Trial of the Japanese
Strikers

HONOLULU, June 23.-The work of
getting jury for the trial of the first
of the several conspiracy charges
against Nj. Maxine and other leaders
of the strike of the Japanese planta-
tion laborers, which began yesterday
before Judge John T. de Bolt OF the
first circuit court. will be resumed to-
morrow.
The courts ruling disqualifies tales
men holding stock in any sugar planta-
ton or related to any person owning
such stock. The result of the ruling
has been to render the task of impanel-
ing the jury difficult one, as the stock
of the sugar companies is widely dis
tributed.
y Soga, editor of the Nippu Jill the
paper which has championed the cause
of the strikers from the beginning
declared today that he intends to bring e
legal actions against High Sheriff
Henry and his bondsmen as result
of the raid on the office of the paper
and seizure of papers which, he alleges,
was done without due process of law
Soga declares that his personal papers
were included among those confscated.
Strike leaders repeated today that
July would see the walkout of the
Japanese spread to other plantations
as yet unaffected, IL the owners had
not yielded TO the demands for higher
wages before that time
M. Maxine, one of the leaders of the
japanese sugar plantation workers
who are on strike for wages of 81 a
day today asked Consul General
eUyno to intercede with the Planters
association on behalf OF the strikers.
Maxine asked that an interview for
himself and associates be arranged
with the planters. but Uyeno declined
to take any steps in the matter.
The plantation owners have so far
refused to recognize Maxine or the
Higher Wage association, and deal
only with the laborers directly Both
sides are firm
Maxine says the strikers are urging
him to cause all Of the Japanese on
the islands TO strike, but that he is op-
posing such a move, as 1t would be
ruinous to the main industry of Ha-
waii and cause loss of millions of
dollars to the people.
