III is the declared intention OF the
promoters to make the tracts 4
fruit" tract second to none in the
northwest, or anywhere IN the coun-
try for that matter.
To Grow Berries Also.
Berries In varieties will be grown
on the tracts. according to the plans
now laid by the promoters. The
varieties now named are the straw
berries. raspberries, dewberries and
logan berries. 1t is claimed that the
valley with proper irrigation, can be
made to produce 1850 to $500 an
acre in berries.
But the plan OF the new company
goes beyond this. Watermelons,
cantaloupes and sugar beets will be
planted. All other vegetables, it Is
claimed, Will flourish with the water
supply.
To Sell for $500 an Acre.
For the market the $500 acres
have been plated into i've and 10
acre tracts, and the price an acre,
including perpetual use OF water for
domestic and irrigation uses, ranges
from $3.50 to 5000 an acre. A per-
feet network OF four-ineh water
mains is installed throughout the
district. These sales are made on
terms Of one-third cash and the ball
anee divided into equal annual In
stallments.
The project bears close relation to
the development OF Occur dAlene
and Post Falls. BY test 1t has been
found that the valley is an excellent
place for fruit growing.
The valley covers a practically
level territory. 80 miles long, from
Spokane to Occur d'Alene. At the
present time there are $4,000 acres
under cultivation, the productive
ness OF which can be greatly en-
HANGED by the use OF a systematic
irrigation process. This new $780,
600 project which is in building
promises to change the production.
To be Fruit Garden.
As now planned, the tracts are to
be turned into a garden spot OF fruit
and vegetation. The planting OF the
fruit trees will be systematic and
guarded for the first three or four
years with untiring care. There is
a purpose for this. The company IS

years, producing fruits. vegetables,

The company behind the big pro-

the first consideration. 1t is said
that no district in the United States

ton Of these two fruits. Cherries,

cation district with a domestic water
supply equal in every respect to a

TSCHAIKOVSKY
TRIAL BEGINS
RUSSIAN WAITER Is CHARGED
WITH AIDING THE REVOLT
TIONIsTs.
Was in America When Crime Is
Alleged.

ST. PETERSBURG, March s.
Nicholas Ischaikovsky and Nine.
Catherine Breshkovsky, who are
charged with being members of the
revolutionary organization and with
having participated in plots against
the life of the gar and high Rus
sian officials, were placed on trial to-
day. The court officials have issued
tickets as the court room is very
small.
The joint Indictment found against
Tschaikovsky and Nine. Breshkovsky
constitutes a document of fifty-eight
pages. 1t describes the careers of the
two defendants up to 1905, charging
membership in the central revolution
airy committee and citing articles
showing that they advocated terror
ism. A series of dispositions of wit
nesses, mostly renegade revolution
lists, is also submitted. They have
to do with the alleged presence of
the accused as delegates to the con-
ferences of the central revolutionary
committee in Finland, st. Peters
burg and the provinces, in which
plans for armed uprisings were dis
cussed. Tschaikovsky is quoted as
making speeches in favor OF the
crime of regicide, and Nine. Bresh-
kovsky as avowing participation in
the preparations for the assassination
of Won Plehre, Grand Duge Sergius
and Constantine Pobiedonosteff, pro-
curator-general of the Holy Synod.
The indictment separately charged
Tschaikovsky with visiting the United
States in 1906-'07 to arrange for the
shipment of arms to Russia, and to
collect funds.
The witnesses admitted include ali
those summoned from abroad to es
tablish an alibi, which is the main re-
= lance of the defense, and witnesses
who will swear that Tschaikovsky was
neither the organizer nor a member
of the Peasants League.
The court also admits the defen-
dant's business correspondence, the
American newspapers. and various
documents supporting the alibi, bui
refuses to accept witnesses to i'm
peach the credibility of the govern
ment's witness, Pateuk, a condemn
ed revolutiOnist, who, 1t is alleged
volunteers testimony at all important
q political trials in order to postpone
the execution of his own sentence.

ovsky in America and to the aims o.

Madame Breshkovsky's lawyer,
Prince ErisOtn, says that his client
will not appear in court. The defense,
while not denying revolutionary ac-
Eivity on her part. win merely point
tut alleged errors In the indictment
when she is called to plead.

way we handled traffic, said an official
yesterday, lis that at present we have
practically no storage room in the yards,
and much dead traffic. such as switching.
work trains, etc, now pass through the
tunnel. We now have about 76S trains
daily and as of these are dead When
we have our yards here. much of this
pressure will be taken off the tunnel.
There are four tracks in the tunnel and

GARY GREATEST STEEL CITY
German Professor Says It Surpasses
the Plants of His Country.

Gary, Ind, IS the greatest steel city in
the world. according TO Professor Christian
Eckert, the director of the University of
Cologne. Professor Eckert has seen all the
great steel plants in Germany, but says
that Gary is far and away ahead of any
thing he has ever seen. He has just re-
turned from the Pacific Coast with the
twenty-eight students he brought over here
early in August Many of these are sons
of Germanys captains of industry, and are
being trained in commercial lines at the
university.
The two greatest things I saw" said
Professor Eckert yesterday at the Plaza,
were the Colorado canyon and San Fran
cisco When I think that entire city
can be made in four years-for that is
what has been done in San FranCisco-it
makes me marvel
The students will sail for Europe on Sat
