To WATER HORSE
HEAVEN
GOVERNMENT INVESTlsiATUR
GETTING DATA ON PKOJEtT
COVERING EIGHT HUNDRED
THOUSAND ACRES.

Irrigation of Horse Heaven, the
fertile wheat country in Benton,
Klickitat and Yakima counties, is de-
clared by S. o. Jayne, irrigation in
vestigator for the United States de-
partment of agriculture, to be one
of the greatest undertakings ever
called to the attention of the govern
ment authorities. In company with
E. o. Mineah, one of the heavy land
owners of the Horse Heaven district
and promoter of the Land Owners
association, the government investi-
gator has completed partial investi-
CATION tour of the district.
They drove from Prosser toBickle-
ton, going through the territory trib-
utary to Prosser. 1t will take several
months to go over the entire acreage,
estimated at 100000 acres. This
project is larger than all government
projects of the Yakima valley COM
bined.
Later a trip will be made to the
Klicikitat river and to its source, near
Mount Adams, where the investiga-
tion as to reservoir sites will be taken
I'D. Mr.. Mineah believes that there
is sufficient water through the normal
flow of the Klickitat to irrigate all
of the land of Horse Heaven. Ac-
cording to investigators, the research
work in the Horse Heaven will take
over year.
Eventually the irrigation OF Horse
Heaven will be brought about. The
rolling land between the Yakima and
Columbia river and gradually sloping
from the top of a bluff, LOO feet
above Prosser to the Columbia river,
is especially adapted to fruit growing
and irrigated crops. Most of the land
is tributary to the Northern Pacific
and Spokane, Portland & Seattle rail-
roads and Prosser and Kiona are
now handling the shipments of wheat
from the district. Reports indicate
that there will be a good wheat crop
throughout Horse Heaven.

AERIAL DEFENSE
REQU!RESB|GSUM
CHIEF OF SIGNAL CORPS SHOWS
COUNTRY NEEDS TO SPEND
ON SCHEME.

Washington, June 4.-Under the
instruction of Brigadier General AL
len, chief of the signal corps of the
army, plans have been prepared, it
is announced, showing what is neces-
sary for the defense of the United
States.
If congress would appropriate the
money, he would begin at three
points along the Atlantic coast
Washington, New York and Philadel-
phia.-where dirigible balloons and
aeroplanes would be placed. This
would require more than 100000.
General Allen has had prepared a
map showing points along the other
borders of the country and in the
interior where he believes there
should be aerial defense stations. To
carry out the entire scheme would
require about $5,O00,O0O.

FOUND DEAD MAN
ON TRACK
BODY OF AN UNKNOWN MAN
FOUND ON RAILROAD TRACK
IN THE TUMWATER CANYON
YESTERDAY MORNING.

The body of an unknown man was
found on the railroad track in the
Tumwater canyon yesterday morning
about s o'clock. II was brought to
this city on No. last night and taken
to the Sprague morgue and prepared
for burial.
The man was about, SO years of
age and had nothing on him to indi-
cate who he was nor where he came
from. From appearances he was a
laboring man and carried small roll
of bedding and clothes, but there
was nothing to indicate who the man
was. 1t is likely that the death re-
suited from being struck by train.
His head was badly cut and bruised
and one leg was broken. The burial
was this afternoon in the potter's
field.

ELECTRICITY
FOR HEALING
WENATCHEE ELECTRIC COM-
ON WAGON WITH GAS ENGINE
FOR AID OF MRS. FRED OLDS.

Electricity is playing a part in
healing in this valley. Mrs. Fred
Olds of Sunnyslope has been very iii
for a number of weeks and DR.. STRAIT
ton, who has been attending ,her,
has considered her in a very danger
Gus condition with slight hopes of
her recovery. He recently decided
that the only hope for her was the
use of a therapeutic light and this
necessitated electric power. The
Sunnyslope country is beyond the
service OF the electric company and
President Gum, when called upon,
rugged up a temporary outfit SO that
the doctor could use this treatment.
He supplied a three horsepower dy-
namo, rigged it on wagon and sup
piled a gasoline engine to supply the
power. The doctor commenced his
treatment and the report is that Mrs.
Olds is on a. fair way to recovery.
An electrician from the power house
makes three trips day to operate
the dynamo.

ASKS BOONE FOR
HIS CASH
HAWKINSON, WHO PURCHASED
PALOUSE STATE BANK, WANTS
TO RENIG ON HIS BARGAIN
CLAIMS FRAUD.

Spokane, June 4-Claiming that
he was defrauded in being induced to
purchase a large block of stock OF
the Palouse State bank, a short time
before the doors were closed, Maurice
J. Hawkinson has sued HI. NJ. Boone,
w. w. Boone and A. r. Patten, for
merly connected with the bank, to
have his notes Cancelled and property
transferred to him.
Last January, the plaintiff alleges,
upon representations of the defend
ants that the bank was in flourish
ing condition, he purchased ESQ
shares of stock, giving notes for $15,-
600, real estate in Franklin county
worth $4,000 and some small notes
payable to himself, of the face value
Of $1,272.
Later, on representation of H. NJ.
Boone that he had been elected dep
uty bank inspector, and would have
to give all his time to that Office, the
plaintiff was induced to purchase an
other block of 144 shares in the
bank, paying for the same partly in
cash and partly by a transfer of real
estate.
The actual condition of the bank
was concealed by the way in which
the accounts were kept, the plaintiff
alleges, and he did not and could not
know the condition.

LAFO[LETTE GR|LLS
AUT0CRACY
(By Associated Press. J

Washington, June 4.-NO one was
required to call for a quorum when
the senate met today. The events OF
last night in respect to personal ref
erences to Senator La Toilette had
|caused feeling that a storm was
brewing. Nearly every senator was
in place but contrary to the expecta-
tions the opening scene when La Fol-
lette took the floor was quiet and pa
cific, much to the disappointment of
those who had expected him TO re-
new his attack of Aldrich and the
"autocracy of the senate Turning
to Aldrich, La Toilette remarked that
1.-The senator stood on this floor as
any other senator" He fOrgets 1t
sometime" he added, and then turned
to Penrose of Pennsylvania, who,
when La Toilette was absent last
night when the session was called to
order, said that La Toilette was
abroad on the streets consulting
with the representatives of the yellow
journals and uplift magazines" La
Toilette remarked today that he
would suggest that he (Penrose)
would render more important serv-
ice to his country and to his state If
he would account for the way he
spends his time when absent from
this body than in any effort to make
an account Of my time" and added
mo man coudl undertake to account
for the whereabouts of the senator
from Pennsylvania without trans
crossing the rules of the senate and
I do not" After some parley be-
tween Penrose and La Toilette, the
latter resumed his analysis of the
tariff bill.

HILL BEFORE GRAND
JURY
GREAT NORTHERN MAGNATE
HAS BEEN CALLED UPON TO
AND CORRESPONDING
BY Associated Press. }

Spokane, June flames J. Hill
appeared before the grand jury of
Spokane county today to answer
questions as to correspondence be-
tween the Great Northern railway
officials and ex-Judge M. J. Gordon,
who is under Indictment on the
charge of embezzling large sums as
counsel for the railroad.
While the secrecy of the proceed
ings are closely guarded it is believed
an effort has been made to secure
from Hill acknowledgment that Cor
don was short in his accounts and
appropriated to his own use funds
entrusted to him for payment of dam
age claims. The refusal of the Great
Northern to submit it's books and let
ter files to inspection by the grand
jury may also be explained by HILL
On emerging from the grand jury
room Hill announced a cange of pol
icy in reference to the investigation.
'I am a good citizen and anxious to
obey the law and to help such body
as the Spokane grand jury In it's in
vestigations, he stated, "and the
grand jury can have all the records
it wants from the Great Northern
railway" Hill leaves for st. Paul
today to arrange the matter.

SPANISH VETERANS
OPEN FIRE
LOCAL HOUSE GETS A VOLLEY-
NETTING WEDNESDAY NIGHT
OF SOLDIER ORGANIZATION
TAKES A DECIDED STAND.

That Memorial Day is strongly en-
trenched and will continue to be OBJ
served and that the United Spanish
War Veterans is the organization
upon whose shoulders will fal the
cloak of the Grand Army of the Re-
public is evidenced by the decided
stand taken Wednesday night by the
former in reference to the nations
funereal day.
The Wenatchee Department Store
came in for an hours discussion, the
failure of this house to keep It's YER
bal and written promises In the past
being alleged by business men along
the street as the reason that so little
observance was given the day in We
natchee this year.
One business man says that II the
proprietors of this store have ever
kept their written or verbal promises
to close he doesn't know when it
was. Former employees tell the same
story. Whether it is true as charged
that the store continues to do a flour
ishing business ON Sunday has not
been looked into by this paper.
The following resolution directed
against this house was passed:
Whereas. Decoration Day is the
one day in the year set apart as one
of solemnity devoted to the memory
of our cOuntry's dead heroes and to
the instilling in the minds OF the
youth of patriotic principles,
Whereas, we jeplore the selfish
commercialism which caused the
opening of many of the business
houses in Wenatchee during the me-
mortal exercises.
Therefore, be 1t resolved. that this
of this organization be
made matter of record in It's min
utes and that a copy be sent to the
Wenatchee Department Store of this
city
Passed by unanimous vote June
2, 1903.

ED. s. RUSSELL SAYS THAT
CHEIAAN COUNTY DOES NOT DO
HERSELF JUSTICE AT THE aE-
ATTLE EXPOSITION.

Ed. S. Russell returned last night
from several days spent at the big
fair in Seattle. He is full of praise
for the fair in general but says that
Chelan county has not the exhibit
that 1t ought to have. The apple ex-
hibit is all right He states that
our apples are the most perfect on
the grounds, but Beflingham and
Ferry counties also have perfect ap-
pies In their exhibit. He states that
these were loaned to these counties
from the state exhibit and are ap-
pies furnished the state last fan for
exhibition purposes by Chelan coun-
ty.
Mr.. Russell says that the Jar ex-
hibit is not as good as that Of Walla
Wa1la and he thinks that the people
of this county must make a rustic
to bring the exhibit up to what It
should be. The commission has been
handicapped for funds and has done
the best possible with the material
and money available, but our peo-
pie who have seen the exhibit ara sll
of the opinion that Chefan county
has nothing distinctive in it's exhibit,
nothing to attract special attention.

TWO At A PERFORMANCE
JEFF to Train by Administering
Knockouts to All
Corners.

New York, Nov. 3.-"Just as soon as
the matter of bids is settled, Jeffries will
tour the country with a company, offer
ing to knock two men out at each per-
formance." So said Manager Sam Ber-
ger tonight. I'VE are simply swamped
with offers for short bouts, and several
startling propositions have come from
Philadelphia and Pittsburg. Jeffries and
I have talked il over, and he wants to
prove to the public that he Is thoroughly
capable of fitting himself to take up the
white mans cause. Jeffries isn't against
trying his hand at some of the six-rOund
bouts with any of the good heavyweights
now clamoring for recognition. Particu-
larly does he favor the idea of going on
the road with an athletic-theatrical show
with an offer to st0D two men at each
performance. In that way he hopes 10
regain his confidence.
Now, mind you, that doesn't mean
that Jeff has lost heart. This sort OF
work would be rather to work off the
strangeness that is bound to follow an
extended absence from the ring. A man
loses distance, and 1t doesn't follow that
he is going to pick 1t up in the gymnasium
or on the road. Only actual contests
bouts in which you can count on the IN
expected from the fellow in front OF you
will be beneficial. Simply sparring with
a partner doesn't mean anything more
than to bolster up your wind.
Little Wilius Britt was popular in New
York. There was evidence of that today
when, at Hammersteins the Ketchel-
Johnson films were thrown on the screen
Willus was shown smiling, smoking the
inevitable cigar, and encouraging Steve,
and when Joe HUMPHREYS called atten-
ton TO the little fellow moving about
SAYING at the same time a kind word for
the picturesque little sportsman, the
house Numbered it's applause.

Two Heavily Played Horses Make

for Rough Work.
Especial to The Herald-Republican)

Especial to The neutrality-suspicious.
Ogden, Nov. 3-George RObetkan's Hal
ton was the one good thing at the fair
grounds today and he gaIloped home a
winner over a field of eleven in man
ner that showed he had speed and today
was the day it was used. Sam Barber
was liked by the wise contingent, but the
Warren horse was unable to get in his
stride until too late in the game. Big
fields again marked the days sport, but
with a heavy track the time was slow
The crowd was fully up to the standard
and the three books did a good business.
Rather Royal made his first appearance
under the colOrs of his new owner, George
Swain, and with Jarrett up won the third
race all the way. The horse opened Ia
vorite but there were some who thought
he would be unable to beat Cardinal
Sarto at the distance, and the latter went
to the post favOrite. AS the barrier flew
up, Sarto wheeled in his tracks and was
left standing still in spite of the efforts
of Jockey Nelson 70 take after the fly
ing field. Little Buttercup was also away
bad.
The fourth race brought out the class
Of the day, and Gresham proved the best
Paine opened favoTite, but backed down
in favor of Gresham and Beauman. The
latter showed he was the best of the
others, but too slow to beat Gresham

HIGH SCHOOL PLAY MAY
SURPRISE SATURDAY

Two High school championship football
games will be played in this city SatuT-
day On Cummings field Ogden ana All
Hallcws will meet, while on the Granite
campus the play will be between sait
Lake and Granite.
Each of the two games will be marked
by desperate efforts on the part of one
of the contestants to even up for for
mer defeat, and with the overcOnfidence
seen with the two former winners each
is given chance.
All Hallows is confident that the fight
ing chance is even and that with even
luck the Catholic eleven will de-
feac the Junction City boys. AS
in past seasons. Coach Harmon's elev-
en- IS rounding to with steady improve
ment which may even up the honors to-
ward the last of the season. The Ogden
team is aware that it will have a fight
ing bunch TO deal with, and the prac-
tice at the Junction City is of the hardest.
Granite is working overtime to present
a lineup Saturday that will hold it's own
with the Red and Black. With Coach
Convilrs boys seized with the impression
that they have everything their own way
in the football championship line, the
chances of a Granite victory are en-
HANGED.
On past performances the High school
should win, and Ogden should defeat
Granite. As the teams line UP on the
gridirOn, however, past form VIII not
count much, and on each field a hard
fought game may be counted on.
