BurIingame Speaks.


E. c. Burlingame, who is interested
in a number of irrigation projects in
southeastern Washington, spoke on the
subject. Benefits derived by cities from
five and ten acre tracts He said he
believed Walla Walla is just on the
opening of an era of prosperity which
is due in large measure to the cutting
up of large tracts
Heretofore" said he, wealthy men
have held vast wheat farms, and homes
were far apart and isolated; but things
have changed here through the pro-
gress in the Yakima and Hood River
valleys, where small tracts have proven
so successful to the progress of the
localities. Activities in those sections
have opened the eyes of Walla Wallans.
We have exceptional facilities in the
way of SOL; alfalfa or pasture can be
sub irrigated to produce the red WIN
ter apple equal with those 81 own in the
Wenatchee district.
1--WE can sit here and resolve week
after week, but what we want to do is
to go out and tear down the fences; VIC
cannot expect that to be done wholly
by the newcomer from the east"
Mr.. Burlingame spoke of the need of
more water with which to irrigate the
vast acres in the foothill district, and
as one means of securing the water
urged the club to send an engineer to
the headWaters of Mill creek and to
| those of the North Fork of the Little
| Salmon to determine whether it is pos
| sible to divert the waters of the latter
| into the channel of Mill creek, and thus
| increase the supply of surface water
available He also dwelt upon the al
most inexhaustible supply of artesian
water underlying this valley, showing
the increase in population that will re-
suit from the cutting up of large tracts
and providing well-watered small
| tracts forI homeseekers.

the number Of church organizations has

Our Royal Romance

again seized the cables to place before us
the utter truth about our ola friends Che
Duke Of the Abruzzi and the lady re-
ported to engage his deepest interest
The fact that heretofore their ingenious
condolences have been unfortunately
without foundation in fact does not
daunt them ii the least And why not4
Simply because this time they have
looked straight into the royal hearts and
minds and are giving US the absolute
faetth straight dope, as il IS some
times designated in this vulgar country.
So il is unfortunate, we think, that
the renewed efforts Of these puryeyors 81
royal news should prove sadly ineon
sistent and abortive. The Duke amid the
young lady are to meet III Paris and the
thing Is good as settled, we read The
royal family is willing; but the young
lady is most unwilling, we also read.
The royal family Is not willing and
neither is the young lady. The Duke Is
not going to Paris at all He is going
to Italy. He il ostensibly going to italy,
but may reach Paris, after all The
whole affair is of The wedding win not

HUNTER LICENSE LAW FULL OF
HOLES.

HOLES.
The hunters license law, which was
adopted BY the most recent Vermont
legislature and which went into effect
with considerable eclat on the first day
Of the present month OF September, Is
curiously botched job Of legislation.
In the first place the attorney general
disagreed with the state fish and game
commissioner as to the Interpretation Of
the words resident" and allen Now
comes the information that there is no
uniformity in the charge for fees for the
licenses, Attorney General Sargent stat
ing that some town clerks are charging
ten cents, some twenty-five cents, and
others perhaps more This il manifestly
unjust and liable to bring about great
deal Of confusion and misunderstanding
Moreover, there is no binding oath re-
CURED in connection with the issuance
OF the license to the hunter, which viii
inevitably result in more confusion and
evasion Of the law through the transfer
ring Of Licenses, since the person taking
out the license Is not required to give
an accurate description Of himself as the
questions would seem to indicate. At
torney General Sargent says on this
point, "0f course, you viii see BY exam
nation Of the statute that no oath to
the facts stated in the application is
required BY law, and from that you viii
at once conclude that any oath admin
igtered to the maker Of such application
is Of no effect and that the person ad
ministering such oath becomes liable to
prosecution under the provisions Of P. S.
5sl7."
Il is evident from the above that one
Of the duties Of the next legislature Of
the state win be the amending OF actual
repeal Of the law. That course which
would seem to be the most satisfactory
would be the recall Of the law SO far as it
imposes license registration on resident
hunters Of the state Of Vermont. That
section looks like an extraordinary cur
tailment Of individual rights in tie first
place.

ton had been seen at the station and
that a friend who accompanied her had
