LIST OF TETON LAND RESTORED
Vacant Government Property In
cludcd in Restoration of July 30
and TO BE Opened to Settlement.

Vacant land subject to entry under
the Tieton restoration of July 80 has
been figured out by the local land Of
flee and the figures show an aggre-
gate of 1880 acres exclusive of town
ship ID, Is, which is unsurveyed The
aggregate of the land restored is very
large but the school and railroad lands
are a large aggregate. In the town
ship above reefrred to as unsurveyed
there are eight sections open to settle
ment after the date fixed by the gov
eminent. No plats of these have been
received at the local land office and
therefore, though settlement may be
established at the proper time there
can be no filing, at least under pres
ent conditions.
Vacant Lands Restored
The vacant lands restored to entry
on December as figured out by the
land office are as follows:
Township 10 north, range 16 east,
north half and southwest quarter of
section "a. All section "a.
Township IA north, range 16 east,
southwest quarter, north half, north
west quarter, southeast quarter sec
ton % southwest quarter, south half
southeast quarter, south half, north
west quarter and northwest quarter
of northwest quarter of section 26.
Township 10 north, range II east
southwest quarter of southwest quar-
ter of section 10.
Township IA north, range Il east,
southwest quarter of northwest quar-
ter and northwest quarter of south
west quarter of section 80.
Township 10 north, range Is east,
southeast quarter of northeast quar-
ter and northeast quarter of south
east quarter of section 6.
This land, as has previously been
stated in the Herald, was land with
drawn from entry in connection with
the Tieton project. The work has now
progressed so far that it is seen that
this land will not be required in the
work, therefore it has been restored.
1t lies above the ditch and does not
come under the irrigation from the
canal. Much of the land is excellent
and will become in time good
yielder.

administration of the estate. The main
portion of the property is 10 acres o.,
land in the Mckee. The list of heirs,
containing as it does the name of the
widow and of II daughters and six
sons is a formidable one.
Menard, according to the petition

death. The wife is now AS years of
age. The oldest child is a daughter,
aged 33 years and the youngest is
aged four years. All the family, with

SENATOR'S WILL COME
WITHIN \ WEEK
Next and VIII Spend Next Two Days
in the Yakima Valley.

The Senate Committee on Irrigation
will be in the Yakima valley Thursday
Friday and Saturday of this week, ac-
cording to a telegram received by
Senator w. l.. Jones, there are Is peo-
pie in the party. They are travelling
by special train and will reach Pros
ser about o'clock in the evening of
August 26 and stay there over night
The senators are bringing their own
automobiles with them and will start
early on the morning of August 81
from Prosser and come in automobiles
through the valley viewing the Sunny
side project from various points en-
route They expect to reach North
Yakima about noon. In the after
noon some time will be given to an
examination of either the Wapato Or
Teton projects and the work will be
continued on Saturday, August 2S.
From here the party will travel west
to Seattle and Tacoma.
1t is altogether probable that while
the federal senators are in North Yak
ina there will be held some form of
public reception, probably at the
rooms of the Commercial club. This
will be to give citizens generally an
opportunity to meet the members of
troll of the matter which is of most

FIGURE APPLE CROP
ABOVE LAST YEAR
National Show Expert and Shippers
of Country Declare That Total of
1908 Will Be EclipSed.

That the apple crop of the country
this year will not be less than that of
last year as stated Thursday by j. l..
Dumas, president of the Washington
Association of Fruit Growers, is the
opinion of the International Apple
shippers association, which has been
in annual session recently at Buffalo.
According to a statement issued by
that association the yield will be 20
per cent greater than it was in 1908.
1t declares that in the central states
the yield is I p per cent below that
of a year ago but is double in the
middle western states. In the south
the yield is from 125 to $50 per cent
larger than in 1908. The Pacific
group will have a smaller yield but
the decrease in Washington, Idaho
and New Mexico is more than coun-
terbalanced by the yield in Colorado.
In Canada the yield, exclusive of
Nova Scotia. shows a gain of 15 per
cent Nova Scotia will have a croT
equal to its bumper crop of a year
ago.
Secretary Manager Rem H. Rice of
the National Apple Show at Spokane
Figures the total yield of the United
States for this year at 100000 bar
rels. or 100000 barrels more than
that of 1908.

walton Property Finds Its Way TO
Assessment Rolls.

An aggregate of $500 acres of land
which has hitherto escaped assess
ment has been added to the available
taxable property in Yakima county by
reason of the activity of the county
assessors office dealing with federal
authorities. Recent activity on the
reservation with regard to irrigation
and other matters brought to the at
tention of Assessor Sindall the fact
that a considerable acreage had been
sold but had never become of record
The Indian agent had failed to make
returns and there was no other way of
finding out that such transfers had
been made. The matter was taken UP
with the department and a report has
been received showing the ownership
Of an aggregate of about $500 acres
which had passed into new hands
within recent years.
Prosecuting Attorney Ward on Sat
urday rendered an opinion regarding
this property and as a result the
board of equalization instructed AS
SCISSOR Sindall to prepare supplemental
assessments after valuation, bringing
the property in for it's due share of
county government. Attorney Ward
rendered no opinion as to the matter
of collecting back taxes against the
land.
Assessor Sindall thinks there should
be law compelling a record of trans
fers of property within a reasonable
period.

vestment was made after a report on
the project by eastern experts, who
were enthusiastic in their praise of the
work already completed.
Work Began in 1906.
The Pasco Power & Water company
was organized in 1906 by William H.
Parry, Harry X. Owens and w. j.
Grambs of Seattle and F. T. Blunck
of Davenport, Ia The company filed
on the waters of the Snake river, at
Five Mile Rapids, four miles above
Pasco, the application calling for the
diversion through a poker canal of
sufficient water to generate 10000
horsepower. AT the point of diversion,
the fall of the Snake river is IS feet
in three and one-half miles, and the
water right owned by the company is
one of its most valuable assets.
Power and irrigation engineers had
long known of the valuable power and
water rights at Five-M Mile RAPIDS. The
surveys of the rapids above Pasco and
an outline of the present project was
made by Mr.. Owens in 1896, and was
done for the Northern Pacific Railway
company.
Rotary Pump Never Idle.
The Pasco company, headed by Mr..
Parry, began construction in 1906, and
on April 20, 1909 the big rotary
pumps began delivering the water
into the main irrigating canal and 20
miles of laterals. The flow of water
since has not been interrupted. Water
is being delivered to $4,000 acres of
sagebrush land, south of the Junction
of the Columbia and Snake rivers and
tapped by the Northern Pacific. Har-
riman and the North Coast railroads.
The last named company, of which
Robert e. Strahorn of Spokane is
president, is building a $1,00O,0OO
bridge across the Columbia river not
far distant from the new town of
Burbank, which the company has plat
ted and which will be at once improv-

ment that the favorable consideration
by New York capitalists of this pro-
ject marks beginning of great things
for the state of Washington, adding:
First mortgage bonds of private ir-
rgation corporations will, in my
opinion, be hereafter listed among the
gilt-edged securities which the north
west offers to the eastern investors
This simply means that investors in
New York and other financial centers
of the east are closely watching the
development of the northwest, and
are particularly interested in the re-
clamation of the arid and semi-arid
districts in eastern Washington, where
irrigation has proved successful and
where development of natural re-
sources is progressing so rapidly"

special Correspondence to The Press
JASONVILLE, Ind, June H.
This is a classic in love from real
life. 1t teaches that love endures.
This is the lesson Mollie Lien
heart and Elijah Ffelden have
learned:
With them love endured through
grief.
1t endured through hardship.
1t endured through resentment
and a sense of injustice.
1t endured through broken
ideals.
1t endured though the woman
thought the man she loved a thief.
1t endured though the man
knew the woman had done him a
grievous wrong. =.
1t endured through the whips
and stings and disgrace of the PEN
itentiary.
1t endured in. spite Of the stig-
ma of convict and thief which the
woman had given the man.
1t endured through time and
absence and separation-perhaps
the severest test of all.
1t endured through the busy
business life and fortune hunting
which the man took up after his
term in prison was ended.
Mollie and Lie knew this when
they announced their engagement
the other day at Jasonville.
Twenty years before to a day
she had sent him, her sfiance, to
the penitentiary, branded as a
thief-the lowest kind of a thief,
one who stole his sweetheart's
ring.
Two weeks ago the ring was
found in a we'll on Mollie's farm
and Lie, now a business man
Fastening to Mollie with this proof
that he was honest, found a mir
acle.
Love had endured-for both
through everything.

IAN UNLIMITED QUEST

Dolly's mama was going to have
company for supper that evening.
The guests were there and every
thing was on the table, when Dolly
went to shut the front screen door
Domeone had left open. But com
ing through the door she found an
urinvited guest, who had heard
Dolly talking and had come right
into the hall to find her. Now
whom do you suppose this guest
was? She was black and not very
tall. had four legs, and long name
And tail. Yes-it was Dixie, Dolly's
Shetland pony.
One OF the ladies was SO sur.
brised and scared that she ran
right up the stairs, holding up her
dress, just as II the pony had been
b mouse. Dixie tried to follow her,
and stood with her front feet on
the stairs and looking up and say.
ing just as plain, what made you
run away? I won't hurt you"
Then the pony turned and
walked into the parlor, examining
things with her velvet nose as she
went. till she saw the dining room
door open and the good things on
the table.
She started at once for that
room. but Dolly's papa saw her and
shut the door quickly right in her
face. That made Dixie angry, and
she pranced and shook her head
and swished her tail. pretending
she was going to kick. Dolly took
her out on the porch and down the
steps, and told her that good pom
les never came where they were
not invited. Then the pony trotted
off to eat grass in the yard.
