ITS DEFINITE SURVEY
Stakes ARE PLACED
Northern Pacific Extension of the
Sunnyside Branch Hill In General
Parallel the NORTH Coast.

Its definite survey stakes east of
Grandview have been placed by the
Northern Pacific railroad for the ex-
tension of its Sunnyside branch line
through to the present main line be-
yond Prosser. This is the report
which was brought to North Cakima
Tuesday by visitors from the, lower
valley. The line, it is reported, is To-
Gated to run Que east from the present
terminus at Grandview. Before reach
ing the Sunnyside main canal it turns
south and after its intersection with
the Madison lateral of that canal
turns east again and thereafter fol-
lows the general course of the main
Sunnyside canal to its terminus. The
general course of this survey is ap-
proXimately parallel with that of the
North Coast railroad and half a mile
south therefrom.
The junction of the Sunnyside
branch extended with the main line
is to be, it appears from the present
indications, at Gibson, which is some
six miles or Whereabouts east of
Prosser.

due to the fact that the numbers af-
ter 1900 are considered of little value.
There will be no drawing tomorrow,
but Thursday morning the Ia cans
containing $1,000 applica: ions for
Flathead lands will be opened. There
will be 5000 drawn and $500 claims.

lotus is flourish ing in the Calumet

The flower Is five or six inches in di-

tipped with green. 1t is opened in the

WHITE PEOPLE
MUST PETITION
FOR WAPAT0 RECLAMATION
Federal Government Cannot Take
Hold Of the Reservation Proposition
Until Rights Are Turned Over.

That the federal government may
take over and carry out reclamation
work on the Wapato project which
will bring some 10000 acres under
irriga zion the land embraced must be
placed in the same class as the Teton
project. This is necessary before the
government can take hold and pro-
coed i'm any way with the reclamation
work so earnestly desired. As things
are now with regard To the Wapato
project the federal government can,
no more touch it than it could touch
the Teton project before conditions
We're adjusted among the private
water companies and others interest
ed in water and other matters which
controlled west of North Yakima be-
fore work was begun there.
Must Show Good Faith.
1t is necessary that those interested,
personally, in the Wapato project
make declaration to the government
expressing their wish for the work and
their intention of taking as speedily as
possible the steps necessary to place
the government. The situation is an
alagous with the conditions which ex-
listed in the Tieton before the work
was begun there. Cooperation with
the department of agriculture Is es-
sential or not stroke will be done.
Made Clear to Citizens.
All this was made clear and definite
Il, hn
mercial club and a number of other
citizens who on Tuesday afternoon
met at the rooms of the Commercial
club with Messrs code, Hauke, Rob
ling, Swigert and other officials of the
federal government, II was made as
clear as it is possible to make II that
the obligation rests more strongly on
the white men ON the reservation than
on any other class or set to take the
initial steps and appear in the position
of petitioners to the federal govern
ment for the work so earno silly sought.
Workers Are Chosen.
Following a long and frank discus
sion Messrs. A. u. Cline and Il. F..
Barge were appointed committee,
they to select the third member, such
committee to take in charge the mat
ter of seeing the white owners of land
under the project and getting them to ,
sign up their land for the underta-
king.
The governing board of the Com
mercial club placed itself on record In
the matter by passing a resolution de-
claring it to be the judgm ent of the
club that it is in the best interests of
all concerned that white owners of
land as well as Indians sign up their
land and thus pave the way for the
reclamation work desired.
Senators Here This Month.
Another matter considered at the
meeting was the proposed visit to
North Yakima about August 25 of the
senate committee on irrigation on it's
inspection of the work in progress i'm
this valley. The club will be the host
of the committee and OF Secretary
Ballinger when they visit here. Def
mite action was deferred until the ar
rival, soon to take place, of Senator
Jones, when the board will be called
together to arrange for the visit of the
senator's

special Correspondence to The Press
NEW YORK, Jan. Twas
Claudia Hams drugged and doped
when, on that terrible night of
her confession, she signed note
which branded her as a faithless

Herewith is reproduced the first

The Claudia" which is signed
to this note seems to be written
with firm hand.
The signature on the note and
on the confession are so similar
that, though Mrs. Hams was at
first inclined to doubt whether she
had ever signed any confession,
she subsequently admitted the con-
fession signature.
