Seattle.-The insurgents victory in
the Republican state primary election
has exceeded all expectations. Miles
Poindexter of Spokane, one of the most
radical of the congressman insurgents,
has been nominated for United States
senator by plurality which his head
quarters in this city estimates at 3d..
900.
1t is likely that Poindexter has car
ried nearly every county in the state,
for all the returns thus far received in
dicate an insurgent avalanche.
Practically all the candidates for the
legislature are pledged to vote for the
candidates receiving the highest vote
and there can be no fight over the
election of PoindeXter.
Late returns indicate that Warbur-
ton, insurgent, has carried the Second
congressional district by good plural
ity over McCreddie. incumbent.

Spokane, Wash.-One hundred and
fifty convicts from the penitentiary
at Walla Walla have been transferred
to the state ck-crushing plant at

of this and other plants operated by
the state. The cOnviCts are garbed in
suits of blue cloth, the striped uni
forms being left in prison. They are
camped near the works and are under
strong guard. The men appear to be
glad to get out into the open and no
trouble is looked for. Engineers re-
port that the plant will be able to de-

DRAINAGE IN YAKIMA.
Government Will Send Engineers To
Valley TO Observe Work Being
Done

North Yakima Wash.-L. o. Jan
eek. chairman of the Mckee Improve
ment company, which has undertaken
extensive drainage in that valley. is in
receipt of a letter from c. G. Elliott
chief of drainage investigation of the
United States department of agricul-
ture at Washington, n c.. containing
the news that a government engineer
has been appointed who will be as
signed to the Yakima valley. It is
the judgment of the office, he says,
that by placing a man on the ground
equipped for making special studies
and who will work in cooperation
with the farmers in the actual con-
struction of drains. as good and sat
isfactory results can be obtained in the
vicinity of Sunnyside. where the
drainage operations have not been
especially successful. as nearer North
Yakima, where the results have been
good.
Mr.. Elliott says that he is expect
ing to assist Mr. Code. the engineer of
the Indian service. in planning the
drains for the lands of the Yakima
reservatio. for which an appropriation
of s25O,O0O was recently made.
1t is proposed to begin that work
in July. he says. and continue until
the 10000 or more acres destroyed
by sepage are restored. He has also
been appointed to some reclamation
work on Puget Sound, along the Ska
git river. so will be in the state dur
ing June and July. and while here
will make a personal supervision of
the Mckee country. Mr.. Elliott first
visited the Yakima country in 1903
and at which time it was little thought
that the lands about here would ever
carry enough water to make seepage
or drainage a problem.
