AT present there are more than
$4,000 acres under ditch, of which
something over 100000 acres are UNI
der cultivation and are using water
This estimate of lands now irrigated
is likely to be too low, owing to the
very many small farms taking water
from small creeks. springs and wells:
the acreage SO served can be esti-
mated only roughly. In addition to
the foregoing there are about 800. 600
acres the plans for the watering of
which are pretty well worked out or
upon which work has been done al
ready.
Federal projects cover 327 000
acres of the latter, either as extern
sions to existing systems or new work
in contemplation and reported on. the
water for all of which is to be pro
vided from storage reservoirs. Be
sides this there are other lands in the
Big Bend country-about 100000
acres near Pasco-that could be wa
tered from the Palouse river if suit
able and economical storage could be
secured.

NO TRUTH IN
UGLY RUMORS
SET CHURCH CIRCLES AGOG
story Started That Evangelist Scoyillc
Had Murdered Member Of Party
branded ts FaischCod.

Ugly rumors that have been in cir
culation in this city for the past two
week concerning Evangelist Scoville
and party We're proven untrue and
false at the sunday services of the
Christian church, when letters were
read by Rev. Green. who a. taking
the place of Pastor Rose during his
vacation. from Rev. Scuvillc and
members of his party, saying that all
We're wen and in good health. The
rumor. which has set church circles
of this city agog. claimed that Evan
gelist Scoville had shot his assistant.
Rev. Rockwell. and then committed
suicide. Friends of the Scoville party
made inquiries by telegraph and let
ter. and with the reply came the
branding of wild rumor as malic-
ious falsehood
The homely adage. each tongue
makes a lie grow bigger" was never
more APPLY illustrated than in the
SCoville rumor. \ woman read in a
Spokane paper of n Lewiston, Idaho,
man named Scovilc who shot a man
in a fight and then attempted suicide.
From this hcginiug the iumor grew
from ncighborhool gossip tn u street
rumor that refused to be doWned.
The rumor had many side variations,
one being that Evangelist SCovillc had
gone insane and murdered III" mem
bers of his party. This was too wild,
even for the romancers. and was
| trimmed down to include only the
male members of the party. Evan
gelist Scoville conducted one of the
most successful series of revival
meetings ever held in this city last
winter and during his short stay in
| the city made scores of friends.

DULL DAYS
IN SENATE
READ CONFEREt'S REPORT
Daniels Charges Aldrich With Viola
ton of Observation-Disclosures
Schedule Point of Interest.

WASHINGTON, August 2.-Begin-
ming it's consideration of the confer
ence report on the tariff bill by the
tedious reading of that document
which was insisted on by the senators
who proposed to see that undue haste
is not exercised in the final passage
of the measure, the senate dragged
along during nearly seven hours to-
day without accomplishing any i'm
portant result.
Numerous conferences We're held
by both sides of the chamber. Devel-
opments in respect to the framing of
the leather schedule in the conference
called forth more interest than did
tn proceedings of the day. The sem
ators fully discussed the language and
effect of the scedule. The debate was
opened by Senator Daniel who declar-
ed the democratic senators on the
finance committee has been dealt with
unfairly in not being permitted to vote
in committee on the adoption of the.
report. He claimed the agreement
for that purpose entered into by
Chairman Aldrich had been violated
Any intentional violation was denied
by Aldrich who said he could not
agree with Daniel as to what occurred
between them. Brstow denounced
the tariff bill as violation of the re-
publican pledges and announced he
would not vote for it.
WASHINGTON, August 2.-The
conference report on the Philippine
tariff bill was agreed to by the house
today. The measure is supplementary
to the Payne tariff bill and intended
to provide additional revenue to make
up the amount which will be lost to
the Philippines by the enactment of
the provision for free trade between
United States and the Philippines

ken up with discussion of the urgent
deficiency appropriation bill as
amended by the senate. One of the
amendments provides carriages for
the vice president and speakers. All
the amendments were disagreed to.
Tariff legislation was again delayed
by the hide and leather question and
the conferees were called together
again today. Western senators will!
compel a further changes in the
hides and leather schedule. They COM
plain that the leather schedule as ar
ranged by the conferees with the APP
prevail of President Taft is unfair to
the states interested in the protected
hides. 1t was agreed that some ac-
tlon must be taken to conciliate them
if the conference report is to be adop-
ted. The westerners claim they have
been led to believe that all the boots
and shoes of leather were to be duiti-
able at ten per cent and that all the
harness at 20 per cent. When the
conference report was read, it appear
ed that the reductions did not apply to
shoes the uppers of which are made
Of calf skin nor to harnesses the
chief value of which is the calfskirs.
Western senators were extremely bit
ter in their condemnation of the COM
promise. Finding that the western
senators were not amenable to the
argument some of the senate leaders
and some of the dissatisfied members
went to the White House. There they
We're informed that President Taft
had not been fooled and that he fully
understood the character of the COM
promise. On their return Aldrch
and Payne tried to reach an under
these said that the word had to go
out over the west that free hides had
been given for cheaper shoes and har-
ness and that their constituents
would not be satisfied with any other
bargain. After the westerners had
departed the conferees discussed the
means of meeting the situation. 1t
was conceded that in order to secure
the passage of the report by a safe
majority low rates on boots and shoes
and harness would have to be applied
to calfskin products. No program has
ben reached positively IS to how this
result shall be accom- plished The
plan favored is to agree with the west
erners to have a concurrent resolu-
ton passed Immediately after the pas
sage of the report instructing the en-
rolling clerks to make the necessary
alterations in the paragraph relating
to hides.

FOR ALLEGED ACTIONS OF LYONS
Warrant Out for Arrest Of N. y. OH
Ger Lyons. Who Is Alleged to
Have Used Brutal Force.

Arthur Jameson, colored cook,

neys regarding the filing of suits for
damages against the Northern Pacific
as the result of the alleged actions of
the companys special officer. c. F..
Lyons, in making arrests in the local
railroad yards.
Jamieson's complaint is that he was
elected from the platform by Officer
Lyons while having in post ession a
ticket which entitled him to trans
portation to Toppenish. Prentice al
leges that Officer Lyons used unncc-
essary and brutal force in arrcs,ing
him Saturday night. Prentice WIS

tice is a resident of this city, II years
of age, and employed by the contract
ing firm of Thacker and Smith.
Warrant for Officer.
Following close upon the heels Of
numerous complaints, "a warrant was
issued by the prosecuting attorneys
office Monday morning upon COM
plant of Prentice, charging Lyons
with assault and battery. The war
rant was not served owing to the
fact that Lyons was out of town
Monday on business. The police
searched for Lyons Saturday night
but were unable to find him. Prem
tice was held in the county jan Sat
urday night. Following the recent in
structions of Mayor Armrbuster to re-
ceive no Northern Pacific prisoners,
Police Captain MiIlican refused 20
lodge Prentice in the city Jail.
Not Deputy Sheriff.
Lyons commission as deputy
sheriff under Sheriff Lancaster was
revoked Thursday, July 80, according
to statement made by Sheriff Lam
caster Monday afternoon. A Top
penish business man was one of the
parties Lyons attempts to take to Jail,
who was sitting on the depot steps
waiting for the arrival of his train.
Lyons also engaged in a squabblc with
the police department last week over
his treatment of man waiting for
his train.

CONTRACT FOR HEATING PLANT.
Much of Capital Stock Already Sub.
scribrl-NiininIum Cost of Opera
ton and Efficiency.


this city composed of A, r. Larson,
president; O. A. Fechter, vice pres-
dent, II. b. Scudder, secretary and
Alex. Miller. treasurer, on Friday let
the contract for installing the initial
plant for the Central Heating COM
pany to the Schott Engineering com
pany of Chicago for $65,00O. The To-
cal company is capitalized for $780,
600 and of this amount over $4,000
has been subscribed. A franchise
has already ben secured from the
city.
\ Mutual Concern.
1t is the stated plan of the heating
company to make it mutual propoA
sition. Heat will be furnished to all
on the same basis and the dividendH
will revert to the stockholders, there
by insuring them of service at the
lowest possible cost. For many days
the prime movers in the project have
worked with the problem with the
purpose of securing the most eco
nominal system from the standpoint
of operation and efficiency. The de-
lay in signing the contract for in
stalling the system was occasioned by
the consideration of four different
propositions and the Schott Engineer
ing company's proposition was chosen
as the one which would yield the best
results i'm the long run.
Other Cities Experiences.
indianapolis has heating system
similar to the one which is being in
stalled here except that in place of
radiation of 200, 900 feet of space as
in North Yakima, that system has
capacity of over half a million feet of
space. However, the 1000 feet of
space in this city is the first years in
stallation and this means that it has
a capacity to heat grand total of
100000 cubic feet of area Be
sides this the plant has a reserve cap
acity of nearly double that stated to
insure efficient service in extreme
cold weather if such prevails
Purely Local Concern.
Interested in the proposition is the
Yakima Artificial Ice & Cold Storage
plant on whose premises the plant
will be erected This firm has long
sought to find a market for its by
product of hot water and in the con-
sumation of this heating system,
this end is achieved and at the same
time, the patrons of the concern are
to be served at a cost much less than
would be the case If an entire new
plant were to be erected.
Two immense boilers OF the WiX
pattern will be installed developing
2,400 horse power. They stand 80
feet in the air and from them will is
sue smoke stack ~ inches in di-
ameter ana 125 feet high. Their ac-
tual capacity is double their rated
capacity. The plant is to be ready
for operation in the early part of oct
obeT. The officers as stated and j.
l.. Hughes comprise the board OF di-
rectors.

INDIFFERENCE TO MANNERS.

There can be no manners without a
standard of tacit agreement in society
concerning them, and this standard
amounts to a dead letter unless 1t is
enforced and insisted upon to a greater
degree than Is now done. The treat
ment from private and public servants
and from children to which gentlemen
and ladies' submit without protest indi-
Gates that as an active principle of So
ciety manners have lost force. The fact
seems to be that a good many Ameri-
cans who have good act as
though they were heartily ashamed OF
it, and hope hat their children will
not find 1t out.
BY Indifference to the impoliteness o.
servants, employers make life more diff
fcult for themselves and for society
just as mothers do who fail to exac

their children. Recently in a certain

OUININE INDUSTRY.
India Making Big Success il
Handling CinchOna Bark.

Vice-Consul- General Charles B.
Perry, Of Calcutta, summarizes the
operations of government quinine fac
tories in India:
The Madras cinchona department re-
ports that the quantity of bark worked
up during the past year was 672, 725
pounds, OF a little less han that for
the two previous years, but the out
turn of quinine was the highest on
record, being 25,2S5 pounds as against
17,267 pounds, the average for the pre-
vious Ave years. This high outturn
was the result of the working up of
a large quantity of Java bark, imported
from Amsterdam, which gave SIS per
cent. of sulphate of q%uinine, as against
81 per cent. yielded by locally pur-
chased bark, and the same percentage
given by estate bark. The cost of one
pound of the manufactured product
was 81 Al was also the lowest on
record. This result was due chiefly
to the low unit price of bark prevail
ing in the markets and partly to a
better quality both of purchased bark
and Of estate bark, and to the lower
prices paid for shale oil and sulphuric
acid.
The Bengal cincnona plantation ani
factory reports for 1908 that the totai
quantity Of bark put through the fac
tory was 1858 Q pounds. When this
extensions OF the factory were com
pleted in 1905 Il was eetimateds that =

SAY OTHER GIRLS
HAVE met FATE
OF ROOF VICTIM
Kidnapping and Brutal Murder
Of New York Child Stirs
Police to Action.

NEW YORK, Deg. 3.-Recalling two
crimes of a similar nature in the re-
cent past, the kidnapping and murder
of little Lottie M~enninger, whose NIL
tilated body was found on a tenement
roof yesterday, prompted the detective
force today to a securing of. the city in
their search for a child slayer who,
they say, may be guilty of more crime
than the dastardly now under IN
v~estigation. ~
That such q man is to found the po-
lice are convinced from the fact that
responsibility has never been definitely
fixed for the killing of the little girl
whose body was recently found stuffed
into a tenement chimney n of an
other girl assaulted and murdered In a
lonesome cellarway not long before.
One man held In connection with the
crime was put upon the police grill to-,
day in the belief that he might make
valuable revelations. He is Nicola
Mircovich, arrested on complaint OF
little girls in the neighborhood Of the
Menninger home, who told their moth
ers that a man resembling him ia
| sought to entice them.
