CURRENT COMMENT
H0oting and Ieering d us.

The reported hostility in Burlington
and Winooski, W.T., to the quartering
of a regiment Of negro cavalry at Fort
Ethan Allen was probably due to the
distressing fact that the fort will be
no sort Of social playground for the
smart set OF that locality while the
black troopers remain at the post. An
American fort Is too apt to be regarded
as vested interest Of the esassietyn

Oranges for the Complexion.

Two years ago a club of - women
was formed to make n test of the
health giving value of oranges. The
best quality of oranges were invar-
iabiy eaten and the results were I'M
ifOrmly beneficial. This was quite
apparent i'm their improved complex
ions. Some of them said that in addi-
ton to eating oranges they had made
il practice TO squeeze the juice of a
lemon into a tumbIcr of water and
drink it the first thing i'm the morn
ing. These women are uniformly en-
thusiastIC over their experiment and
are firmly convinced that by freely
eating oranges and drinking lemon
juice from time to time, the liver
is kept in perfect cOndiion-and of
course a perfect fmctiOning liver is
the secret of a good complexion

who are inclined to play practical

and some of them are really side split

had an engagement with a young man

sister gave the younger one careful in
struction to have him leave early or
run the risk of having him elected.
The younger one at once promised to
let the caller remain just as long rs
he wanted to which brought a threat

NEW TOWN
CALLED WAHLUKE
FIFTEEN THOUSAND ACRES OF
LAND TO BE RECLAIMED
ACROSS RIVER FROM HAN
FORD PROJECT.

A new town in the midst of vast
irrigated land project on the Column
bia river is to be established by a
company of Spokane and Inland EN-
pire men who have organized the
Columbia River Orchards Company.
Fifteen thousand acres of land,
just across the river from the Han
ford irrigation project, have been Sc
cured by these men, who have had
it surveyed and levels secured, plat
ted townsite, and are planning to
begin the installation of an irriga-
ton plant Immediately.
"Wahluke" is the name of the new
town which has been plated on the
banks of the Columbia river. The
officers of the new company are. R.
w. Wilson, a retired merchant of
Garfield, president; A. c. Olson, of
Spokane, formerly member of the
real estate firm of Sparks Bros, vice
president; F. P. Mcclure, of Spo-
kane, treasurer; H. H.
Humphrey, of Kennewick, legal adj
wiser; T. w. Armstrong, of Spokane,
director
In speaking of the plans of the
company, Mr.. Olson, vice president.
stated: I'VE will start something
entirely new around here as far as
irrigation projects are concerned, in
the matter of capitalizing. Our plan
is to make a 100000 bond issue of
6 per cent guaranteed 10-year bonds,
which will be exchangeable for land
at it's present valuation. Here is the
new feature which We are going to
use. We are going to place on the
market $4,000 worth of units at
500 each. which will participate in
the earnings of the company. III
three years time the bonds will be
exchangeable for land in the corr
pany or for units, or the units will
be exchangeable for bonds.

on the construction, the estimates
for the installation of the plant being
about $4,000 We will so2u:r the
water from the Columbia river, with
the aid of a gas producer plant. run
