BUILD HUNDRED

PLAN BEING MADE TO WATER
CRAB CREEK AND ADRIAN
COUNTRY BY COLUMBIA RIVER
MAKING ASSESSMENTS.

A new Inland Empire, poisoning
In the heart of the sage brush coun-
try.
A fruit district to rival the We
natchee and enough water to grow
anything a perfect climate can pro-
duce.
That is the future possibility Of
the Crab Creek country, east of We
natchee.
The farmers of that section, en-
bracing $4,000 acres, have begun
preliminary work to bring a portion
of the Columbia river from Marcus
to Grant county and water these
thousands of acres.
1t will cost about 100000 to
complete this gigantic undertaking,
and it will be one of the longest
gravity systems of irrigation in the
world. The pipe line will run over
100 miles before it reaches the land
to be made fertile by it, and the fur
thest point will be on the Columbia
river south of Crab creek.
The farmers of that section have
taken hold of the proposition. They
have levied an assessment of 2h c
per acre on the land for the purpose
of making the preliminary survey for
the proposition This means the men
are in earnest, and expect to see the
big irrigating ditch bring water by
the gravity system to the land.
j. M. Spencer, of Plains, Mont, is
one of the men interested in the pro-
position, and he has contributed the
full amount of his assessment. He
believes the proposition can be work
ed out, and should prove one of the
greatest enterprises in the west.
A. D. Campbell, another Land hold
er in that section, is optimistic over
the enterprise, though saying 1t will
mean an immense amount of money
and work.
1t is expected to bond the PROPOSE
ton for money enough to finance it,
and the hackers believe the ditch
will bring water to the land for an
initial of less than $40 to the acre.
tAfter that, they figure the mainten-
ance expense will be slight.

Harrisburg, Pa, Aug. 4.-The
Democratic state convention met in
the Majestic theatre here today and
was called to order by Arthur G..
Dowalt of Allentown, chairman Of
the state committee. The convention
will name candidates for state treas
urer, auditor general and justice of
the state supreme court. Though va
rious names are mentioned for the
several places on the ticket there is
no spirited contest in sight for any
of the nominations. Judge C. LaRue
Munson of Lycoming will probably be
named as candidate for justice of the
supreme court. Former Mayor Guth-
RE Of Pittsburg may be named for
state treasurer. In connection with
the nomination for auditor general
the names of former Mayor Vance

others are being mentioned.

Seattle, Aug. 4.-Nothing new was

few changes were made in the quo

There was good demand for
peaches today. The expected ship

had little difficulty disposing of last

The pear market was sluggish.
Most of the stock on the street is
over ripe and consequently has moved
slowly.
The early California grapes on the
avenue are moving at fair rate, al
though there has been no choice va

of the early varieties are sour. The
