MIXED POLITICS AND BUSINESS
Attorney Israel Consumes Morning
Session of Senate With Eloquent
Plea for Client.

OLYMPIA, Wash, Aug. 20.--Attor-
ney Israel. counsel for State Insurance
Commissioner Schively, consumed the
entire morning session before the SEN
ate. sitting as high court of impeach-
ment, and had not concluded at noon
He made an eloquent plea for his
taxing insurance companies 500 and
5000 for "verifcation of report" in
place of actual expenses allowed by
the law, as well as the s35 statutory
fee by Schively was merely trying to
get around inadequate laws. He says
the insurance laws were defective and
that the business has grown so fast
that the legislative appropriations
failed to take care of the additional
business. Regarding this fact
Schively accepted the presidency of
the now defunct Pacific Livestock AS
sociation of Spokane. He declared
Schively hoped to win a great name
in the insurance world and needed
$500 per month salary for himself
and family and the Office he was hold
ing only paid $3.50. He pleaded
Schively, the politician, saw that
Schively the business man would be
injured by reason of the failure of the
company and laid plans to get out and
return to his former position of dep
uty insurance commissioner.
Schively was placed on the stand
this afternoon. He told the senate he
received a fiat salary of $500 as presi-
dent of the Pacific Livestock associa-
ton and not a commission, as alleged
in the perjury count, and related in
detail his story in regard to his testi-
mOny before the Spokane grand jury.
j. b. Anderson of Tacoma testified
that his company, the National Union,
had applied for a license and Schively
informed him it would cost $500.
Anderson retorted if it cost $500 there
would be no examination. A meeting
was arranged with Sam II. Nichols,
then secretary of state and insurance
commissioner ex-oflicio, and the
amount cut to $500. The defense
claims this proves the charging of fiat
rates for the admission of companies
and that Schively was merely carrying
out departmental orders.
The house today passed a bill pro-
viding for a direct primary nOminat-
ing candidates for congress to fill any
vacancies. The emergency clause
prevent the new law being applicable
in the nomination of candidates to
succeed Cushman.

WILL TUNNEL
THE SE[AH HILL
fOR DEVELOPMENT PURPOSES
Washington Investment and Power
Company Enters Into a Contract
With Ranchers of the Mckee.

A tunnel is to be run through the
water of the Selah and Mckee canal.
The work will be done by the WASH
ington Investment and Power COM
pany. Four miles of the ditch and
eighty rods of the fiume were on
Saturday, by vote of the stockholders,
turned over to the company and an
agreement made under which George
S. Rankin and his associates will
maintain that part of the ditch and
deliver through it to the stockholders
the irrigation water to which they
are at present entitled as well as such
excess as they have been able to OBJ
tain in average spring seasons.
Matter of Long Debate.
The matter of the transfer of the
ditch to the power company has been
under consideration since May last
and its settlement at a meeting of the
stockholders in the courthouse Satur-
day afternoon, 1t is said, was brought
about because Of an understanding
that the power company had decided
to abandon further negotiations and
begin condemnation proceedings. AS it
was, the vote was overwhelmingly in
favor of the transfer. The number of
votes cast was 1850 of which 3,471
were in favor of and 369 against the
proposition. This was a majority of
S,102. 6AA
Contract for the Tunnel.
One clause of the very lengthy con-
tract between the power company on
the one hand and the Seiah and Mckee
stockholders. on the other, provides
for the construction of tunnel
through the hill, the ranchers who use
irrigation water to pay at pro rata
the cost of the work. Under the con-
tract therefore, the ranchers of the
Mckee procure all the water they are
now obtaining. are relieved of the ne
cessity of maintaining an unproductice
stretch of ditch and fiume and will
procure the long desired tunnel at a
cost which they can stand. Mr.. Ran
kin and his associates, on the other
hand, obtain the facilities they have
desired for the utilization of the 1000
second feet of water from the Yakima
river on which they have filed.

TO ENLARGE MAIN CANAL.
Equipment for the Big Dredge Has
Arrived and VIII Be Installed at
the Earliest Possible Moment.

Two boilers of five tons each and
four engines, all for use in the big
dredge which is to enlarge the Sunny
side canal, were unloaded at Wa
patio. There are to be six engines in
the dredge, which will have a capacity
of 1000 yards in a 16-hour day. Six
teen hours will be the length of the
working day, as ii is the intention of
shift and carry on the work of en-
largement of the canal as rapidly as
possible The dredge will begin at the
intake and work it's course down
ward, and it is expected that the rate
of progress will be a mile q month.
The canal will be enlarged 20 per
cent, SO that the flow of water will be
1850 second feet. The dredge is now
under construction but it is expected
will be completed, launched and
equipped at an early date.
Work Is Most Important.
Enlargement of the canal is i'm
portant to the people of the lower
valley. 1t means the early completion
of the Outlook pumping project for
the distribution of water by means of
high line canal covering the terri
tory above the ditch between Granger
and Sunnyside. This higher land il q
splendid proposition, and under Gull
tivation will become as valuable as
any in the county.
Completion of the work means also
in all probability, the installation of
project at Grandview using the
power developed from the drop from
the canal into the MabtOn SiphOn
feeder and which will bring an addi-
tional area of excellent land under the
influences of the husbandman. 1t
also means that a great many land
owners under the present main canal
will be able to procure water which
is now denied them because of the
lack of sufficient supply in the big
ditch.
For the past year there has been a
dredge at work enlarging the canal.
its operations having been undertaken
at the lower end and been carried on
toward the intake in the territory be-
tween Grandview and Sunnyside. That
dredge Is working westward. The
new dredge, starting at the upper end
will work down the canal towards the
operations of the other. The combi-
nation of these influences means the
early completion of the undertaking.

INDIANS WILL SEE BALTINGER.
Delegation of Old Men to Be Named
TO Present Views of and Get Assur-
anceS at First Hand.

Indians of the Yakima reservatio
propose to get together delegation of
their best men to have a conference
with Secretary of the Interior Balm
ger when he comes to North Yakima
regarding the signing up of Indian
lands on the reservation for the pur-
poses of the Wapato irrigation project.
They want to make their representa-
lions to headquarters and they want
explanations and assurances from
headquarters. They feel that in JUS
tice to themselves and to the future
progress of the country that course is
advisable. The delegation will con-
sist of men of so years of age or more.
II will be composed of Indians of in
telligence and standing, men who have
earned for themselves a reputation for
integrity and industry. With the rep
resentatives will be two interpreters
in order that no mistake be made or
wrongful idea communicated to either
body of the conference.
Indians Want Changes.
There is q feeling among number
of the Indians now that the whole
idea of the Wapato project is being
approached from the wrong point of
view so far as the Indians are con-
cerned. 1t is declared that some of
the more ignorant of the Indians have
been induced TO sign up their lands
under wrong promises made by one
or two of the white men interested.
These wrong statements now used as
an argument, the more intelligent In
dams say must in time prove to be
wrong. In this event the whole
structure will be doomed and, it is
said, litigation will result. This will
cause delay If nothing worse. Indians,
it is reported have been promised a
splendid highway through from Top
penish to North Yakima. 1t is said
that they have been promised that in
signing up they are signing up only
10 acres or 90 acres or whatever acre
age appeared most acceptable to them
and such other eXtravagant ideas.
White Treatment for Indians.
One or two Yakima Indians, among
them Lancaster Spencer. went to Spo-
kane to the irrigation congress. Mr..
Spencer says that he there learned
that the irrigation works of the gov
eminent are not in the interests of the
white man solely, nor of the black
man solely, nor for the Indian solely,
but in the interests of all the people
of the United States. Indian as we'll

Purpose Explained.
The purpose of the United Land and

Harassed by the fear that he would
be robbed by the men with whom he

two years ago hid on the Northern
Pacific depot grounds in this city a ten
dollar gold piece. Beneath two ivy

little church on Yakima avenue be-
tween Fourth and Fifth, the same man
concealed a five dollar gold piece.
Gerritson wrote on July "a to Captain
Jenkins of the Salvation Army regard

a search for the hidden coin. Satur-
day the Salvation Army leader went
to the Northern Pacific grounds and
found that the excavations for the

Foreign securities markets seemed to wake up today for the first time, to the importance of the listing of the United States Steel shares on the Paris bourse and this topic was the sensa- tion of the Paris, Berlin, and, in some degree, the London markets.

 Westerly, June Z-Before wildly enthusiastic crowd of supporters for the home team and a cheering delega- tion for Bulkeley high school of New London, the diamond aggregation of Westerly high school were right on deck for their only chance to stay in the running for the championship of the Eastern division of the Interschol- astic division and handed out a defeat to Bulkeley, to 0, this afternoon, the first setback for the New London team this season in a league game. The re- suit left the two teams tied for the league leadership.
 It all came about by two close de- cisions by Umpire Rose in Westerly's half of the first inning. Bulkeley's three batters, Benevenuit, Rogers and Bacon. had all gone down by the strike out route, in which Pitcher Burrows made the great record of a total of 20 for the game. Captain Foley then came to bat for Westerly high and Pitcher Wall sent him down to first no free pass. Foley plunged for second and Umpire Rose said safe" although the BulkeIey supporters de- clared he was out mile. Martin scratched a single past Benevenuti,
