SENATOR PERKINS
70 YEARS OLD

Oakland, Cal, Aug. 23.-Congrat-
ulatory messages from friends and
admirers in many sections of the
country were received today at the
home of United States Senator
George c. Perkins in this city to re-
mind him of his SEVENTEEN birthday.
Since the adjournment of congress
the senator has been giving much of
his attention to the arrangements for
the coming visit of President Taft to
California He intends to join the
Taft party on it's trip through this
section and doubtless will take ad-
vantage of the opportunity to i'm
press upon the president the growing
necessity for strong Notifications on
! the Pacific coast, of which Senator
Perkins has long been an ardent al
vocate.
| Senator Perkins carries his seventy
years lightly, though his life has
been one filled with many vicissi-
tudes and stirring adventures. He is
product of the Golden State, al
| though he may not boast of being a
native son." The town of Kenne-
bunkport. Maine, gave him birth sew

owned by the company is one of It's
mots valuable assets.
The Pasco company began con-
struction In 1906 and on April 80,
1909. the big rotary pumps began de-
livering the water into the main irri-
CATION canal and % miles of laterals.
The flow has not since been inter-
.rupted. Water is being delivered to
90 acres of sagebrush lands south
of the junction of the Columbia and
Snake rivers and tapped by the Nor
thern Pacific, Hartman and North
Coast railroads. The last named
company, of which Robert E. Stra-
horn of Spokane is president, is build
ing a $25O,000 bridge across the Co.
lumbia river not far distant from the
new town of Burbank.
Canal is. 1O,25O Feet Long.
When the Northern Pacific decided
to leave the field of supplying water
by artificial means to private enter
prises Mr.. Owens was the first to take
it up. His plans were adopted and a
power canal 10,250 feet long and
120 feet wide was constructed. The
water is discharged into a concrete
basin and flows thence through the
main canal and lateral system. The
a year ana nearly three feet of water
is supplied at cost of 1 IA cents an
acre day. The daily cost of water
during the irrigation season is less
than IL 1-2 cents for 12-acre tract.
Means New Era for State.
Mr.. Hoge, president of the holding
company, said in an authorized state
ment that the favorable consideration
by New York capitalists of this pro-
ject marks the beginning of great
things for the state of Washington
adding:
First mortgage bonds of private
irrigation corporations will, in my
opinion, be hereafter listed among
giltedged securities which the north
west offers to the eastern investor
This simply means that the investor
in New York and other financial cen
ters in the east are closely watching
the development Of the northwest
and are particularly interested in the
reclamation of the arid and semi-arid
districts of eastern washington,
where development of natural re-
sources is progressing so rapidly"
