BUYS LAND
PRESIDENT MICHAEL EARLES
OBTAINS TRACT OF ELEVEN
THOUSAND ACRES ON COLUM.
BIA RIVER FOR $125,OOO.

+ For approximately $125,000, Mi
chael Earles, president of the Han
ford Irrigation and Power company,
in which Seattle capital is heavily
interested. last Saturday closed
deal for the purchase of 1900
acres of land from the Northern Pa
cific Railway company, in Benton
county, Wash. The deal means that
the present electric power and pump
ing system fthe Hanford company,
in which $4,000 is invested will
be extended at once, new electric
generating machines installed and
big body of fertile land on the west
bank OF the Columbia river re-
claimed
The policy of the Northern Pacific
for years past has been to reserve
from sale all it's irrigable land in
eastern Washington and especially
along the Columbia river from Priest
Rapids south to Kennewick and
Pasco. During the administration
of former President Charles s. Mel
len, the Northern Pacific thorough
ly Investigated and carefully mapped
every acre of the railroad company's
ground in this state which could be
reclaimed by irrigation.
The policy then was to aid in the
construction of irrigation works, and
Mellen himself personally directed
the. construction by. the company 0.
the Kennewick canal, which re-
claimed about 1900 acres of land
in Benton county
Mr. Earles would not say when
asked today what price he paid for
the II 900 acre tract on the Colum-
bit, which is located a few miles
north of the town Of Hanford, named
after Federal Judge c. H. HanfOrd
of Seattle. who aided in the forma-
ton of the Hanford company. He
said that plans had been completed
for the erection of new electric gen
orators at the power plant at Priest
Rapids which will increase the Ca
pacity of that plant, the first of its
kind installed in the northwest, 10
four times its present capacity.
This winter when the water N
the Columbia river is low We will
install three new generators at Priest
Rapids and more pumps at the
pumping station at Coyote" said Mr..
Earles. The tract purchased from
the Northern Pacific will be watered
next year. The lift will be about
sixty-five feet at high water and
about one hundred feet at low water
in the river. The determination 20
irrigate this land and to erect tAe
new works is due TO the fact that
our present electric power plant and
pumping system have proved to be
thoroughly effective
The extension of the Hanford
company's works will involve new
investment of $250,000. At the town
of Hanford the company is complet-
ing a sewer system. the water for do
nestle purposes being pumped from
: the depths of the Columbia river at
distance of more than an eighth OF
mile from the shore. An electro
lighting system is also to be Installed
at once.

LIKE CAPTURING a sA11eRx.


''Marse Henry" Watterson. the "a
nous editor of the Louisville Courier
Journal, was as original In starting
into journalism as In everything that
he does and says.
It was just after the civil war. and
Watterson in the ragged regimentals
Of q confederate officer was casting
about for some means Of getting lit
tie food into his stomach. He hap
pened to get hold Of a copy of the old
Louisville Herald, and, after study
ing 1t q while. that peculiar. purpose
full look settled over his face. He
arose and tramped majestically down
to the Herald shop and into the pres
ence of the venerable editor.

he was exceedingly busy.

I am the man for the post" said the
young man soldier. as unabashed ~

We'll, who In the-say! Well. who
had the unmitigated gall to tell you
that We needed an editorial writer,
and who in blazes are you. and say.
what on earth makes you think We are

aged editor paused for breath.
"Humph!" said Watterson, as emo

FORCED TO CONSUME BAD EGGS
Heroic Treatment Good Object Lessor
for Merchant.

Sir Gilbert Parker. the novelist NJ.
p. who has travelled extensively and
acquired q great knowledge Of the
ways Of the world. tells many stories
of his experience. One relates to an
English officer and himself. At a
small post in Egypt they lived prac-
tically on eggs and timed meat. and,
as there was nothing else to be had,
the eggs were very important item
of the dietary. Day after day the
eggs. like those Of the oft-quoted
curate. were very good in parts" but
one morning they were frankly bad.
The officer. who had the power of life
and death in those parts, determined
that the eggs should be fresh in fu-
ture. so the egg merchant was brought
before him. open your mouth" said
the officer. and the wretched man,
standing between two sentries, obeyed,
trembling. Slowly and solemnly an
evtl-smelling egg was poured In. Again
the command was given. and again q
potential rooster was gulped down. A
third followed the other two. After
that. whoever else may have had bad
eggs palmed of on them, Sir Gilbert
Parker and the officer were well
served.

The Albion Argus (populist.) .
paper that has always been consistent
in its support of fusion nominees, feels
very sore over the action of the DEM
ocratic members of the Legislature in
proclaiming their. inability to frame q
guaranty deposit bill by hiring q
lawyer to do their work. The Argus
says:
1T looks to us like humiliating con-
fession that there is not brains enough
in the whole legislature to draft bank
guaranty deposit bill. After making
the campaign on that issue largely and
then come to the practical business of
framing q bill there is not q man, or
committee of men. in the whole body
that can frame . bill! What is that
body of hired men down there for?
Then they had to hire lawyer to do tie
work they were expected to do. Why
didn't they, il they had to hire some one,
get good practical business man like
P. L. Hall? Why is lawyer supposed
to know more about such business than
business man? Only one consolation
we get out of it and that is that one of
our good fellows, Hon. l. L. Albert, got
the $500 job; but this is small consols-
ton when We think how the republicans
will hammer our brains ont in the next
campaign"

ExToLs LIFE IN THE COUNTRY.
Suburbanite corrects Misapprehenslon
Of the City DweIler.

Zone of the great blessings of living
In the country is that we can see the
sky and the moon and the stars and
the sunset" said a woman at a social
gathering in the New Century club the
other day, according to the Philadel-
phia Record. She lives in beautiful
country place in the Chelton hills all
the year round. I'VE have had some
wonderful sunsets in the past few
weeks" she continued. Il have known
friends to spend afternoons in art gal
leries looking at pictures when they
might have been out in the country
watching far more beautiful sky
painting by the hand of Nature. Then
you who live in the city never see the
stars at all in the city's glare of cleo
trio lights. Neither do you have the
interesting occupation of watching the
sky and anticipating weather changes
by the clouds. l know that most city
residents think the country a dreary,
uninteresting waste in the winter time,
but we suburbanites don't consider it
that way. The earth is rather bleak
when it isn't covered by a white man
tie Of snow, but the winter sky always
presents an interesting If not fascinat-
ing study, and seldom q day goes by
that We don't have charming sunrise
or sunset"

The usual brilliant crowd of illustri-

There were several things about
your little affair, my dear Priam. that
I never could understand" said Ma
poleon. Notably, how was it that
when the Greeks presented you with
that wooden horse you moved it into

rattle Of the troops inside? You were

earn so much as you Thinks cents a

though of course some of the smarter
ones make a good deal more. There
are in Boston about 5000 newsboys,
and of these 5000 at least are under
IA, the average age being IL. No child
under ten is allowed to sell at all. Yes,
many Of those little fellows that you
see are ten years old and more, but
circumstances and environment have
stunted their growth-and then the
Jewish is naturally a small statured
race, also the Italian: and most of the
newsboys are of these races"

The Precise Scientist.

Gov. Stuart, at a dinner in Philadel.
phia during the opening of the opera
season. said Of a noted Philadelphia
scientist:
He is the most exact man I ever
met. He believes in nothing but
proven facts. Continually he pins you
down.
"One day I said to him:
"'Cannibalism-what an abomina-
ton! To eat Of human flesh!
Brrrr!'
The old scientist frowned.
Pardon me. but have you ever
eaten of human flesh? he said. Sc
verely.
NO said l.

do you speak Of things that you know
nothing at all about?"

Delegated power" so the demo.
cratic party insists, is dangerous; there
fore, proxies are not allowed. in con-
ventions. The democratic legislature
is not in harmony with the delegated
power" idea. After being elected
members Of the state legislature and
sworn to perform their duties to the
best of their ability, the followers of
Mr.. Bryan have delegated power to
Judge Albelts to prepare bill guar
anteeing bank deposits. But the

The sincerity OF the men who are
opposed to the state accepting Mr..
Carnegies retiring allowance fund can.
not be questioned. Mr.. Carnegie's
money, they say, is tainted" That
is a debatable question. The fund the
iron master desires to donate is legal
coin, and its purchasing power equal
to the dollar dropped into the contri-
button box or spent over the bar for
liquor. The generosity of Mr.. Car
negie has produced a new brand of
moralists throughout the state, especi.
ally among the worshipers of Mr..
Bryan. Early in the campaign last
year the red light district in Omaha
was convassed and funds secured tn
help carry the state for BRYAN.
Where were the moralists then who
are now attempting to prejudice the
public against accepting the Carnegie
allowance fund.- Mr.. Bryan and his
brother moralists were silent. Not a
protest was forthcoming. The poll
ticians and Mr.. Bryan were the bene-
fciaries of the red light donation.
That's where the difference comes in.

NO DEMAND FOR INCREASE.

NO DEMAND FOR INCREASE.
At present supreme court justice
gets about s37 per day, including
Sundays and the summer vacation,
when he is not supposed to work. The
president and senate have decided that
this is insufficient to keep the judicial
gowns and ermine in order, and there
is prospect that their pay may be
raised to something over $40 day.
A supreme justice has life tenure on
his Office, with the privilege Of re-
firing on full pay after he has passed
a certain age, so that there is no pos
sible chance for him to run into
perjury and want.
What do you think about this in
crease? Do you believe it was need
ed, in order to secure able men for
the bench? Do you know Of any at
torney who would decline a position
on the supreme bench even if the pay
were to remain at s37 per day? And
isn't that sum sufficient to care for the
needs of any ordinary, aane-living
man? 1t seems that the present con.
dition of the supreme court is not so
deplorable as the senate and president
might lead you to believe, and there
the added reason for refusing the raise
that the country is already facing q
large deficit. And if salaries are to
be raised, are there not better places
to begin? There are hundreds of men
in the employ of the government who
are not getting a tenth part of the
pay of the supreme court justices, and
who, when age shall weaken their eff:
forts, will be thrown aside like the
broken parts of a machine. Could
not a magnanimous government, like
ours claims to be, begin raising: the
pay of such as these, rather than of
those who already have enough and to
spare?- Globe.
