EXCURSION AND BALL

About forty people went to Walla
on the special excursion last Sunday
to see the city and the ball game
between the kennewicks and Bade's
Mixtures. After the usual delays
and waits the party reached the
city and had a fine day for sight
seeing and took in the town and in
spected the finely kept ranches and
gardens in the suburbs. The strees
car service was completely on the
bum and prevented many from
making side trips to Milton and
Freewater and other towns in the
lnterburban. The ball game had
to be transferred from Meador Park
on the river to the Fair Grounds

MORSE HEAVEN LANDS
TO Be IRRIGATED
Portland Daily Journal

The United States government
has taken keen interest in the
irrigation project now being put
thru by the klickitat Irrigation and
Power Co.. a corporation authorized
to construct irrigation bitches thru
Yakima, klickitat and Benton coun-
ties.
During the past few weeks sever
al settlers have passed final proof on
their desert claims. The United
States land Office having accepted
shares of stock subscribed to the
Klickitat Irrigation and Power COM
pany in lieu of necessary improve
ments designated under the desert
claims act"
The project, when complete will
irrigate about 3S townships, making
possible the cultivation of the gar
den spot of Washington.
The Patterson Concrete Company
is figuring on the cost of manufac-
turc of about 40 miles of concrete
pipe, the main feed artery from the
kliekitat river to the lowlands. The
big feed pipe is to be 10 feet in
diameter.
The engineers have overcome the
only obstacle in the way of &C.
onomical construction by stumbling
onto a practically open route thru
the canyon, which previously baff1ed
the efforts for reasonable cost Of
construction. With this obstacle
overcome there is all probability
that work will be started at once.

we give in full in another column
on account of its special local inter-
est, and the orator OF the day, Hon
Lee 4. Johnson of Sunnyside. The
heat of the day and the residences
Of the children in the audience
must have made it difficult for the
speaker, especially at times, but
not withstanding, he gave a strong
address in which there was no bit
terness towards the south but the
very kindest and most compliment
airy expressions, as should be. Mr..
Johnson's remarks betrayed the
preacher as well as the statesman,
but after all the true combination
of the American patriot, the man
who loves his God and also his
country. To the oftheard charge
that Americans are becoming less
patriotic, Mr.. Johnson had the
answer that their patriotism was
only dormant, not less than here
tosore, and that similar emergencies
would call forth similar expressions
OF loyalty and love of country. He
said that altho war was terrible and
so much to be avoided as possible,
yet it had the beneficial effect of
kindling love of country and a
patriotic spirit.
During the afternoon exercises
both preceding and after the ad-
dress the Kennewick Band played
several selections which revealed to
those gathered the fact that we have
band worthy of strong support
and of which kennewIck should be
proud. Great credit is due Mr..
Young for the marked improve
ment shown by our band.
Two flag drills were given bv
some little children and were worthy

is that this section is minerelized

The width and depth of the vein
cannot as yet be determined, but it,
dimensions are large. It extends
over quite scope of country. Ii
dications would point to it being a

future, will become a hustling

present. The enormous expense of
the war to both North and South
was estimated as II billions of dol
lars, to say nothing of the losses
sustained in destruction of property
the neglect of fields and the uncar-
el for crops. The ransom price per
slave was placed at $4,000, the
nation paying that much for each
negro's freedom. The cost in men
was 800, 900 deaths directly due to
the war and in the ten years sue
ceeding 700, 900 more men had died
largely owing to the terrible struggle
through which they had passed.
The ransom in men was, one white
soldier for each twelve negroes, and
although we must never find fault
with the past we are constrained to
grieyc III the presence of such figur-
es that liberty to the black man in
the United States should have de-
manded such costly sacrifice. Mr.
Anderson reminded his audience
that before very long our Memorial
Day Service would lack one of its
principal features, the presence Of
the old G. A. r. Veterans.
The death rate at the present is
rapidly decreasing the survivors and
very soon the last old soldier shall
have to face his last foe and make
his last fight. Nevertheless the
nations gratitude will ever keep
fresh the memory of those who so
quickly responded to the nations
call and who sustained so nobly
Arericgn traditions.
The choir of the church sang
several selections which were much
enjoyed by the audience.

COLO DISCOVERED At HOVER

Hover to prospect the hills back OF

party had pick UP some float in

the school house at Hover, a ledge
of rock crops out on the brow OF
hill. The party proceeded to the
foot of this, picked up some float

determine the color of it. The
rock seemed mincralized and the
vein was easily traced on the sur
face for a distance of nearly a mile.
The party in tracing the lode,
broke off at intervals pieces of de-
composed rocks, which was closely
examined.

writer knocked off piece of rock
from the ledge jutting out of the
ground, which on assaying showed
