Saturday morning after an illness
continuing for over two months.
Her death is staggering blow to
her family for no one was ever MOI e
devoted to home and family than

years ago, living on their farm
south east of town near the big
flume, where she departed this life
March 9th, 1909. She leaves her
husband, Christian Puderpaugh,
one son and an infant daughter, be-
sides her parents and other near
relatives to mourn her untimely
taking away.
She was converted in childhood
and maintained her Christian pro-
fession to the end, expressing her.
self to a neighbor as willing and
ready to go.
Funeral was at the Methodist
Church, preached by its pastor, and
was attended by large number of
friends thus testifying to the high
esteem in which she was held by
all who knew her.

TWENTY-FIVE
MILLIONS FOR
YAKIMA VALLEY
uuf MILLION ACRES RECLAIMED.
WORK UNDER WAY

Senator W. L. '"iAeo A'''
IA long frank letter to his constlt-
norts in the Yakima Valley. Ho
outlines the comprehensive plan the
Reclamation Service has for the de-
,aopment of the valley which pro-
x;des for irrigating and reclaiming
J half million acres. This work
must be done a unit at time, as
funds become available in the Re-
clamation Fund.
About three million dollars have
already been expended by the de-
nartment to date. To reclaim the
entire half million acres it is esti-
}nated that the twenty millions will
be required for distributing canals
and works while three millions more
will be required for storage dams
and works,
Il is pointed out that this stu
pendous task is work which only
the government is capable of hand
ling as a whole. The government
can do it economically for the rea-
son that no interest charge will be
laid against tho funds. While if
private capital were employed. in
terest on the money invested would
properly be expected and added to
the cost. The government can
handle the the entire job which is
lgreatly preferred to piece meal con-
struction in small projects.
The government has already
achieved general and satisfactory
understanding among the private
companies and conflicting water
rights and saved years of time and
thousands in money which would
Sotherwise have been wasted in liti-
CATION. This itself is of incalcuable
benefit.
The Senator urges the fullest CO.
operation of our people with the
Reclamation service in the orderly
Development of this work. He asks
that the narrow selfshness which
lmpels each community to exert
pressure to have the work in its par
tlcular locality done first be laid
aside and cooperation on the broad
basis OF the largest development be
substituted for neighborhood rival
res, A method of cooperation
he suggests the advisability of form
ing associations of commercial
bodies and others such as are COM
mon in California to represent and
narmonlze the varied interests and
INFORM and cooperate with the Re-
elamation Service.
