He was sent here by the officials of
his railroad to investigate the irri-

be seen that the railroad company
has at last taken up an interest in
the proposition which has so long
been before our people, and it is
hoped this interest will not be abated
until they finally help us most sub

MOORE PLANS To
RECLAIM BIG TRACT
WE'LL KNOWN SEATTLE CAPT.
TALIST ANNOUNCES CON.
STRUCTION OF PUMPING AND
POWER PLANTS ON COLUMBIA

Seattle, March 25.-Twelve hun
drei acres of rich land in the desert
north of Pasco is to be Immediately
reclaimed by James A. Moore, of this
city, and big district opened up for
settlement in country which has
heretofore been the habitat of the
jack rabbit, the vagrant Siwash and
the horned toad. Mr.. Moore, who re-
turned from Pasco last night after
two weeks absence, this morning
announced that he had awarded the
contract for the installation of an
expensive pumping plant two miles
north of Pasco, on the banks of the
Columbia river, and within so days
the work of retaining the big desert
tract would be completed.
In the center of the tract of 1900
acres is the famous Moore home,
erected by Mr.. Moore at a cost of
$4,000 more than a year ago. 1t
was the illness of Mrs. Moore that
caused him to establish a magnificent
estate on the Columbia, north of
Pasco, and this home which is sur
rounded by trees and orchards, is to
remain in his possession. The Ian
to be watered entirely surrounds the
place.
81 have a force of men at work
now building the power and pumping
plant" said Mr.. Moore today. 1.-THE
pumps will have capacity of 5000
gallons of water per minute. The
maximum lift will be so feet. There
is abundance of water in the Column
bia river to water a very large tract
which lies within two miles of Pasco
and almost adjoins the town limits.
"The whole Columbia river basin
has entered on an era of building
and development which far surpasses
the knowledge of west-siders. That
country is being opened up by the
railroads on a scale which excels any
other development in the northwest.
Both the Hill and Hartman systems
are busy and the mysterious North
Coast has a big force of men build
ing a bridge across the Columbia and
constructing the railroad from Pasco
and Kennewick towards North Yaki-
ma"
! Mr.. Moore stated he will build a
gasoline pumping plant with an cleo
trio auxiliary station.

PRESIDENT ELLIOTT HAS AN
NOUNCED A NEW FEEDER FOR

Seattle, Marcn Z0.-FOf the pur-
pose of opening up the region bor-
dering Moses lake, in Douglas coun-
ty, where 100000 acres can be irri-
gated, the Northern Pacific will con-
struct a line from Adrian, on the
Great Northern line and the present
terminus of the Washington Central,
to Pasco, passing down the east side
of Moses lake through Othello, on
the Milwaukee line.
President Howard Elliott, of the
Northern Pacific, who arrived in the
city yesterday, said the road would
be built shortly, but he could not
state when active work would begin.

''This line will be very important
feeder to the Northern Pacific, for it
will give an outlet to all our wheat
tonnage from the Big Bend country
instead of sending it back to Cheney
or over the mountains by transfer to
the Great Northern. By connecting
with the North Bank road at Pasco,
we have almost water level haul

The survey of the Northern Pa

row, of the Morrow Land company,
sold 800 acres adjoining the town of
Othello to a Seattle syndicate for
$4,000. This ground is to be plat
ted for an addition to Othello.
Big Land Sales Pending.
Reports from Othello and vicinity
indicate that some big deals are pend
ing, a few of them running into the
hundreds of thousands of dollars.
For two weeks there has been a
stream of men passing through
Othello going north and following the
survey of the Northern Pacific or
coming down from Adrian into the
Moses lake country.
According to men who have been
over the country 100000 acres can
be irrigated near the lake and thou
sands of acres are subject to Guilt
walton for cereals. Moses lake Is
about 80 miles long and to 8 miles
wide
The announcement made by Mr..
Elliott that the Northern Pacific will
build a line into the country will be
a signal for colonization OF a dis
trict that may become as we'll settled
as the Yakima or Wenatchee valleys.
