GOING AFTER
MAIL SERVICE,
FORH|LLYARD

Three petitions were started in
Hillyard Saturday looking to MAX
ing the postoffice of that place an
independent substation of Spokane.
One of the petitions was addressed
to the postmaster general and the
two to Senator Jones and Congress
man Poindexter.
The petitions were freely signed
and there is no question about the
required number of signatures be-
ing received.
1t asked that the postmaster OF
Hillyard, Mr.. Shoemaker, be re-
tanned as chief clerk of the new Of
flee at salary of $1400 per annum,
and that the department provide
the necessary room and fixtures for
carrying on the business. The post
master at the present time receives
a salary of $1700 per annum, out OF
which he pays the salary of two
clerks.
The name of the Hillyard post
office will continue unchanged. The
city of Cambridge, Mass, a place
larger than Spokane, is a substa-
ton the same as it is proposed to
make Hillyard, and yet it retains
it's distinct separation from the city
of Boston, from which it gets it's
mail.
1t is figured that if the proposed
substation plan goes through for
Hillyard that the town will have
six carriers and three or four
clerks, whereas the total spent
there now for help is but $1,000 a
wear

Do YOU LONG TO OWN LAND? HERE ARE FREE RICH ACRES
Many Irrigated Farms to Be
Opened for Homesteading
in February on One Of
Roosevelt's Reclamation
PrOjects-Combination of
City and Farm Life Una
tilla Lands-Early Crops,
High Prices.

4A1Su I TUGS.
LA GRANDE, Ore, Jan. 17.-One
hundred fine farms, rescued from
the desert by the wonders of irriga-
tion, will be open to homestead
entry under the reclamation act
after 8 a. m. February 10, at the
land office here.
Under notice already issued, en-
tries made hereafter for these
farms under the third unit of the
great Umatilla project shall be ac-
companied by application for water
rights and by the first installment
OF charges for the right, not less
than $3.50 per acre of irrigable
land, being first payment on the
building charge of SIS per acre and
$1.30 for operation and mainten-
ance for the first year.
The second installment of the
charge, not less than Sc per acre,
and the appropriate charge for op-
GRAFTON and maintenance, becomes
due on December / of each year
thereafter until paid.
The great Umatilla project is just
one of the many monuments to
Theodore Roosevelt's policies of
conservation, against which the
hand of Taft is lifted in Washing
ton. 1t is 100 miles east of Port
lang, along the Columbia river, and
between it and the Umatilla.
The soil is of great depth, sum-
mer comes early, and the growing
season is longer than in most parts
Of the west. The truck and fruit
grower on this project can probably
place his crops on the market in
advance of his competitors, and be
sure of top prices in the markets of
Spokane, Seattle, Tacoma and
Portland, all of which are tributary
by rail or water transportation.
The farms soon to be opened to
entry vary from 10 to 40 acres each.
During the past three years settle
ment has been going on rapidly in
completed parts of the project, and
considerable areas have been plant
ed in orchards and small fruits.
An interesting phase OF the de-
velopment here is the combination
Vi CItt anu country lllc, ldl illo are
SMALL many five and ten-acre or
chards are being laid out about the
towns, and the owners have built
their homes in town.
The water supply is the flood
flow of the Umatilla river, which is
stored in reservoir created by
constructing an earthen embank-
ment nearly 100 feet in height and
half mile long. Owing to the por-
GUS character of the soil many of
the canals are lined with cement.
The main line of the O. Il. & n.
railroad skirts the western edge of
the project, and the Spokane
branch runs through the northern
part. When the Cello locks are
completed the Columbia river will
furnish navigation to Portland and
Astoria. The main line of the
Northern Pacific railroad is on the
north bank of the river.

country there might be serious danger but it was

The Tears n eooka.

1t is not hard to understand why
when a book makes you laugh. yea
want to read 1t. and to read it over and
over again. But It Is rather puzzlins
TO find that one also enjoys readlus
and rereading books that make cue
want to cry. What can there be in Us
that likes to be made to feel unhappys
In real life We don't try to do things
that win make MS suffer-not at alt.
But there are books that you cannot
think Of once you have read them
without tears coming 70 POUR eyes, and
vet you win ind that you love those
books perhaps more than any Others
To feel deeply Il one Of the best
things In life. and there maybe lies
the explanation OF why we do love
sad stories. They make Us unhappy
In way. but they do not leave behind
any bitterness or sense OF personal
loss. And they usually have a speeiai
beauty OF their Own.-St. Nicholas.
