which produces small, purple black
berries in clusters, and when carefully
prepared makes excellent sauce or PIE
material.
Another plant that is closely related
to this stubbleberry is the old
fashioned ground cherry. This can
be grown with the minimum amount of
moisture, and makes an excellent sub
stitute in many ways for fruits ana
for many of the tender fruits which
it is almost impossible to grow.
Another interesting plant is known
as the Garden Pomegranate, which is
a close relative of the muskmelon, but
produces fruit about the sic Of a
medium sized apple and which, when
cooked or prepared as sauce, rs an
excellent fruit plant.
These are plants that are perfectly
hardy and will grow in almost any
section of the country where grass or
grain will grow, and should be used
where it is impossible to grow the
ordinary fruits.

Will Appear in Lecture by Himself
at Spokane, March 10.
The lecture of Admiral Robley D.
Evans, Fighting Bob, which viii be
given in the Armory, Spokane, March
IS, promises to be one of the events of
the season, as the admiral has proven
to be as great success on the platform
as on the bridge of a battleship and
his lecture "From Hampton Roads to
San Francisco" is said by eastern
critics to be a masterpiece.
Crowded houses have greeted him
wherever he has appeared and judging
by the interest already taken in Spo-
kane, that city will prove no exception
His lecture contains stories of the
many things seen and done in his
strenuous forty years of service told
as only he can tell it. From what we
can learn, the admiral has the peculiar
faculty of being able to talk to the in
dividual listener in such manner as
to hold him spellbound and send him
home wishing he could have heard more
of it.
The 10000 club is to be congratu.
lated in securing this, the greatest OF
our heroes for a Spokane appearance.
The tickets will be on sale at the
piano store, southeast corner Spragut
and Post street, Monday, March 8, al

by sending check or money order t.

IRRIGATION CONGRESS- ADVICE
F. W. Blackman of Kansas Give Good
Instructions.

Instructions.
"Either cooperative state laws or
federal law will eventually regulate
the water supply, not by the riparian
rights nor by the priority right, but by
the equitable distribution of water in
the irrigated districts"
r. w. Blackman of Lawrence, re-
gent of the University of Kansas, lays
emphasis upon the foregoing in let
ter to the board of control of the 18th
National Irrigation Congress, of which
George e. Barstow of Barstow, Texas,
is president. He suggests that the con-
gress, which will meet in Spokane
August 8 to a. as well as future gath
erings, should be scientific associations
for the solution of specific problems.
G. L. Shumway's Ideas.
Several important matters for legis-
lation or department rulings are pre-
scented by G. l.. Shumway of Scottsbluff,
Neb., chairman of the executive com.
mittee of the American Irrigation Fed
Grafton, headed by L. Bradford Prince
of Santa Fe, N. NJ, in letter. He
says:
eve need legislation or department
ruling along the following lines:
ffSuffcient appropriation for the
United States geological survey to pay
for all surveys and topography con-
nected with the governments irrigation
projects.
"Suficient direct appropriation to
pay for all administration of the same
while directed by the government.
Appropriation, through rivers and
harbor or river improvement bills, to
pay for all federal reservoirs, as they
are useful factors in governing stream
| flow.
permitting private enterprise to
acquire for beneficial uses the waters
impounded in government reservoirs in
excess of the needs of the government
Permitting or extending to home
steaders under government irrigation
projects the right to commute
"Another thing which may need at.
tention is that the government after
making an estimate of the expense Of
an irrigation project and permitting
settlement, should not raise the cost
upon the settler when it finds that the
| betterments and maintenance were
higher than they estimated"
Towns in the irrigated belts in
Washington, Idaho, Montana, Oregon
Arizona, Utah, Nevada, California,
Wyoming. Colorado, Texas and New
Mexico will send delegates, and there
viii also be visitors from Nebraska,
Illinois, Minnesota, Wisconsin and the
| Dakotas.
