far had taken place with the govern
ment troops; that large bodies of VOL

LAREDO, November 29.-Reliable
information reached here this morn
ing that all telegraph wires leading
into Matamoras and Amaulipas were

WATER IS SOUGHT
ON POMONA HEIGHTS
Land Owners Contract With G. A.
Clarke to Drill for Them in
That Section.

A>F, Linse and H. c. Fromke have
entered into a contract with c. A.
Clark for the drilling Of artesian
wells on property owned by them in
the Pomona Heights section. The
work will be commenced at once.
Messrs. Linse and Fromke own 1S0
acres of Pomona Heights land and
are anxious to develop it. Their con-
tracts with Mr.. Clark call for drilling
not to exceed 1000 feet in depth but
Mr.. Clark thinks that an adequate
supply of water will be obtained at
not to exceed 700 feet. He obtained
an adequate artesian flow, he says. on
land of his own at something less
than that depth and is assured that
the conditions can be repeated.
Work by Mr.. Clark will be greatly
facilitated by reason of the flow OF
water he obtained while drilling for
himself. There is q natural water
way running from his we'll to the
land of the gentlemen who have con-
tracted with him. Down this course
he will allow the water to flow from
his we'll and will thus obtain a sup
ply for his engine during drilling OPP
erations and not be under the neces-
sity of hauling as as the case pre-
viously. The artesian well, it seems
will solve the Pomona Heights prob
lem.

Closeted in a cab with County Ply
stefan Frank, John Yerel, middle
aged man in the employ OF the North
Coast railroad, died suddenly early
Tuesday morning while being remov-
ed from the St Paul rooming house
to st. Elizabeth's hospital. An air %
mystery surrounds the case, the Of
ficers seeming unable to account for
Yerelrs critical condition before the
start for the hospital was made SO
far as can be learned, the deceased
was a complete stranger in North
Yakima and has neither relatives nor
friends to take charge of the body.
According to the police, they were
notified Monday that Yerell was quite
i'll at the st. Paul house and that lie
was without funds to engage tho SER
vices OF a physician. Chief of Po-
lice Kinnaman Immediately visited the
sick man after which he summoned

HOWARD ELLIOTT STILL
AGAINST INTERFERENCE
Thinks Conservation and Railroad
Commissions Are Two Mistakes
v of Modern Times.

SALEM, Nov 29.-Howard Elliott,
president of the Northern Pacific rail-
road company who was the principal
speaker of the second days session
of the oregon Development league con-
vention, today roundly scored people
for interference, through the railroad
commission, legislatures and bureaus
in the amnageme of railroads, a
business of which they have no
knowledge. BY way of illustration he
brought up the subject of conserva-
ton. He declared the tying up of
large tracts of government land by
some one far away, who was not in
q position to understand the real ne
cessities of the west, has the same
effect in the development of the coun-
try that unwise actions of legislatures
and commissions have on railroads.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-In reply
to the offer Of several railroads to
employ him at his own salary If he
could show them as he claimed he
could show them, how American rail-
roads could save 100000 a day,
Louis D. Brandeis of Boston today
telegraphed that without any charge
he would be glad to meet and point
out to the railroad presidents how
such a saving could be effected.
He said that he suggested that
eastern presidents should be invited
to the conference as we'll as western
presidents. He said he declines the
offer Of salary for the same reason
that he declined compensation from
the shipping organizations he repre-
sents, viz. The burden of the in
creased rates ultimately will be borne
in a large part by the consumer and
of this cash, the main burden would
be borne by those least able to bear
added burdens. He asks that the

ion of the Valley Co-Opera-
tive Association.
TRUSTEES ARE NAMED
TO PERFECT THE BRANCH
Meeting at Summit View School Is
Well Attended and Feeling in
Favor of Mutual Assistance Is
Unanimous.

Fruit growers of North Mob Hill
last evening formed the first division
of the Yakima Valley Fruit Growers
association, the recently incorporated
organization which is expected, by
cooperative work, to solve some of
the problems which have been try
ing ones to the horticulturists of this
section. There are in existence al
ready one or two subsidiary assoca-
lions which, by changes in their in
corporation will become divisions of
the general body. But the meeting
last evening at the Summit View
school of the North Mob Hill growers
was the first voluntary work toward
a carrying out of the details of the
new undertaking.
P. D. Babcock was chairman of the
meeting the result Of which was the
selection of committee of five to
carry out the Incorporation of the
division. That committee consists of
w. 1. Huxtable, p. d. Babcock, J. z.
Bullan, G. E. c. johnson and D. Pet
tit. These men will act as the trust
ees Professionally and until the an
nual election. w. r. Romans, secre-
tary of the general association, was
present at the meeting with the ar
ticles of Incorporation and the fruit
growers present signed up their
membership which virtually means
that organization was completed.
There was considerable of gen.
eral discussion prior to the action as
above related. The opinion, natur-
ally, was unanimous in favor of per-
fecting the division and of starting
the organization movement among
the subsidiary associations on it's wav.

CHINESE IS FIRST
TO SHOW HIS FAITH
In Hanford Business Property
Where Dog Lost His Life After
Saving Many People.

The embers of the disastrous Han
ford fire OF November II had not
turned cold before plans were laid
to rebuild at least part of the busi-
ness section wiped out. And a Chin
ese restaurant man is said to be the
first to announce his plans. All Me
or One Lung, or whatever the al
mond-eyed residents name is, has al
ways been a loyal Hanford booster,
and he shows his faith in the town
by clearing away the debris, prepare
tory to the construction of a con-
crete restaurant building on the site
he formerly occupied.
H. M. Walhew will erect a brick
block near the park. The owner of

Dog Saves Many Lives.
A dog belonging to the Turner
lives of the Turner and Zane families
and the dodgers in the Columbia
hotel. Mr.. Turner was awakened by
the dog jumping around on the bed
and barking furiously. The family
escaped, but the dog would not face
the fire out in the hallway, and he
died where he had saved human life.
The Zane family, all of whom had
narrow escapes from death, had the
closest call of all. Mr.. and Mrs. Zane
and the children and Mr.. Zane's aged
father had their faces scorched and
the hair singed from their heads. A
boy was also severely burned about
the arms. When Mr.. Zane and the
other members of the family effected
their escape, they thought the little
boy had also gone with them. Horror
stricken when he learned his awful
mistake, Zane rushed back into the
burning building and rescued his son

WHITE BLUFFS
IS THE WINNER
Availability of Electric Power for
Irrigation Solves Many of Its
Problems.
WATER DISTURBANCES ARE
THINGS OF TIE PAST
Absorption of Hartford Plant by
Pacific Power & Light Com
pany Marks New Era in Col
umbia River Development.

A contract between the White
Bluffs Land & Irrigation company
and the Pacific Light & Power COM
pany has just been executed where
by the former company will install
by April 1, 1911, a 100 horse power
electric engine to operate it's pumps,
using the gas producer engine that
has been in operation for the past
three years as an auxiliary. The
new arrangement means that a new
phase of irrigation will be put in OPP
Grafton in that district. Within six
months fifty or more ranches will be
using private irrigating systems,
pumping water direct to their land
from the Columbia river.
Time of Trouble Passes.
Hanford and White Bluffs have
had difficulties for some time, so that
the latter has not been able to ar
range for water from the Hanford
company. The absorption of the
Hanford company by the Pacific
Power & Light company, removed
these difficulties.
The White Bluffs Land & Irriga-
ton company, operating the town Of
White Bluffs and irrigating about
400 acres Of adjoining lands, was pro-
NOTED by +. M We'll in 1907. The
management of the Hanford Irriga-
ton & Power company, at that time,
being aptagonistic to the town of
White Bluffs, refused to grant ditch
water righs to White Bluffs lands and
the promoters therefore installed gas
power pending such time as satisfac-
tory arrangements might be entered
into with he power company. The
recen absorption Of the Hanford COM
pany by the Pacific company, has dis
PEELED former differences between
White Bluffs and Hanford, the new
company seeking market 70. its
power wherever possible and treat
Ing all districts with equal considera-
ton.
ArrOwsmith OH Deck.
Installation of electric power at
White Bluffs marks the close of all
water disturbances formerly arising
through alleged water shortage. Su-
perintendent Arrowsmth of the Pa
ciic Power & Light company, will de-
part for White Bluffs Monday to COM
plete the preliminary arrangements
for the installation of a sub-electrical
station at that place together with a
number of distributing lines to supply
ranchers installing individual irriga-
ton systems. Mr.. Arrowsmith will
go to White Bluffs prepared to sign
contracts calling for delivery of pow
err April /, 1911. 1t is estimated that
within the next six months fully fifty
ranches in the White Bluffs valley will
be operating under private irrigation
systems, pumping direct from the Co
lumbia river or wells, the latter be-
ing obtainable at depths ranging
from twenty-five to fifty feet.
New Era Is Opened.
AS previously stated this system
marks new era in the irrigation
work in the northwest, which Is
bound to grow in popularity because
OF the vast amount of electric power
to be developed at Priest Rapids in
the Columbia river and the desire on
/ the part of the Pacific Power & Light
company to find a market near tn
, hand for it's product.
