BIG DIVERSION DAM
HAS BEEN COMPLETED
Fifty Thousard Gallons of Water
Per Minute Are Sent Through
Hanford Ditch.

The big diversion dam at the head
of the power canal at Priest Rapids
now is finished and is sending VOL
umes of water through the turbines
which drive the mighty pumps at the
magnificent power plant up the river,
says the Columbian of Hanfo: d.
Monday morning water was turned
into the great turbines which generate
power for the dynamos and twenty
three thousand volts Of the silent,
mysterious power sped over the shin
ing copper wires to the pumping
plant at Coyote Rapids, and plung-
ing into the pumps sent them spin
ming out the lfe-givng water that the
thi' sty land may drink its fill.
Out of the prodigious mouth of the
powerful pumps at Coyote Rapids
pour fifty thousand gallons of water
a minute into the twenty-eight mile
canal which carries it to the late ais
and fumes and from these it is dis
tributed to the orchards and fields Of
the big valley.
PuIrps Have Easy Work.
The water has reached the end of
the ditch and with the pumps run
ming at less than half speed the ditch
is filled to the b i'm. At present. with
considerable moisture in the ground.
thee is very little water being taken
from the ditch. Rut when the hot
weather comes and much water is
needed to mature the alfalfa and
prepare the young orchards for the
day of fruitation it is encouraging TO
know the water supply is dependable
that water is the @, and plenty Of
it, to use when it is needed and in the
quantities YOU desire.
That's what it means to be identi
fed with a reliable irrigation project
like the one at Hanford.

JOHN D. ADMONISHES
BOY; ENDANGERS LIFE

NEW YORK, April 5.--A gentle
edmonton administered by John D.
Rockefeller to dirty 7-year-old boy
for playing marbles on Sunday almost
cost the aged financier-p hilanthropist
mis- life late yesterday.
Rockefeller was still looking back
ward at the boys when he stepped
rom the curbing at 57th street and
F1tth avenue. Just at that moment
big touring car swerved around the
corner. John D. Rockefeller, 1r.,
caught his father by the hand and
pulled him back just in time TO keep
him from being struck by the ma
chine.
When the driver saw that Rockefel-
Ter was about to step in front of the
machine he screamed out: "Hey!
Watch where you're going!" without
making any effort to stop the ma
chine. The chauffeur shot scornfu
glance at Rockefeller as he turned
the automobile into 57th street.

WASHINGTON STATE LAWS
DIFFER FROM THOSE EAST
The Passing Law of Washington Is
Almost Cnique--DiffeIs From
That I'm Many States.

Now that the automobile season
has opened the question of the law
of the road has been brought to the
front and 1t is found that in Wash
ington the law Is different from thai
of the custom of drivers of all kinds
in many states of the land and par
ticula ly among bicyclists, while OF
the laws found, Washington stands
alone. There is no question over
what should be done when two autos,
teams or persons approach from op-
posite directions. Each keeps to
the right. but in passing while
travelling in the same direction
trouble occurs.
On the back of every automobile
license Is found: 1.-The driver or
operator of every automobile or
motor vehicle shall turn to the right
in meeting vehicles, teams or per-
son moving or headed in opposite dir
ection, and turn to the right in pass
ing vehicles, teams and pc sons NOV
ing or headed in the same direction"
Although this law is derended by
many persons, who say that it is
the custom and has been in this
state as well as many other states.
the majority of men have been ac-
customed to following the other rule
of passing the person, team or auto
ahead on the left hand side, upon
the theory that the man ahead had
the right of way and that the one
who passed him had to take an rue
chances.
Those defending the law of turn
ing to the right say that this is
the proper way, for there is no dan
ee" of the man behind running into
the driver ahead if the driver turns
to the left to let the man behind
pass, for the front man will have an
unobstructed view of the road and
can see whether it is safe or not to
make the turn.
An examination of the auto rules
and regulations of other states
shows that where the law of passing
a drive" going in the same di: &C.
ton is mentioned, Washington is the
only state where the passing driver
has to turn to the right. In New
York Indiana and California, the
statute provides for the turning to
the left; in North Carolina and
Maine it is optional. giving the
passing driver the privilege of turn
ing eithe" way; in Wisconsin the
auto drivers are to follow the rules
of the road, which rules are not pub
lished in the auto laws; in Pennsyl-
vania the only passing rule men
toned is that which directs autos to
keep on the opposite side of street
cars from that on which passengers
a"e alighting. while the copies of
the rules and regulations governing
Ohio. Florida. oregon and Connecti-
cut are silent upon the passing rule.
In Washington it behooves all
auto drivers to study up the law and
always keep to the right, whether
they want to pass machine or team
ahead or pass one coming from the
opposite direction.

MURDERED FOR MONEY
REQUIRED TO MARRY

CARROLTON, Mo-. April 5.-Was
t Arthur Wooaen's eagerness to mar
ry that prompted him to murder
George w. Smith in his lonely cabin
in the woods last Friday night?
Wooden is IS years old. Today he
confessed that he had beaten the OLD
man to death with a hammer in order
TO take ON him a $615 check. More
than year ago Wooden left his
fathe.'s farm and since then he has
hired out" to other farmers around
the neighborhood. A farm hand is
1oing well if he makes SIS a month
board and place to sleep.
Bought New Suit" First.
Il am going to bring my girl in and
get married." Wooden told a cle~k
in the New York store here Saturday
morning as he sized up the fit of a
new $40 suit before a mirror.
Wooden had come to town that
morning and cashed a s615 check. il
was that action which led to his ar
rest.

NEW YORK, April 5.-The MUIR
der Of Ruth Wheeler 15-years- old,
when she went to the apartments of
Albert Wolteg, white slave trader,
to answer an advertisement for a
stenograpner, has revealed terrible
conditions in New York.
Seventy-five girls, between the ages
of Is and II years, have dropped
months, only to be found by the police
questionable SUI roundings. Most
of them were misled.
Fifteen still Missing.
Fifteen have not yet been found.
Wolter. who was a pasty-face
youth of 10, with no prepossessing
qualities. had two girls who worked
IN the streets for him and lived
with a third Kittie Mueller. Wolter,
by various methods, would bring
about the downfall of a girl and
would tell her that she was ruined"
but that he would protect ner from
the police if she would go on the
st Gets and work for him.
That word ruin is one of the
stand bys of the white slave traders"
says Mrs. Mary Freeman, superinten-
lent of the Florence Critenton home.
THAT word ruin alone. with the
ideas of fopelessness it conveys, has
brought about the destruction and
damnation of more girls than any
other featu of the white slave evil.
The White Slave Method.
1.-THE cruelty of society leads the
world to p onounce this word
ruined with terrible emphasis, but
insist that, at heart, many and
many a girl Who is misled and is even
brought into evil ways through ply
steal force. is not ruined.
THE world is still before her. She
has not sinned, in reality. Why
should the stain be put upon her?
Yet it is. And the white SLAYER
finds that all he has to do to bring
a girl into his power is to pronounce
upon her the same curse that genteel
society called down upon her
ruined"
Wolter is as much the product of
the white slave system as are any
of the girls he Brought to ruin.
His father and mother are we'll
TODD and self-respecting German peo-
pie. but WOlter left them as soon as
he began associating with youths
who were in the white slave bust
ness.
Like all of the other youths in the
degrading traffic. Wolter had no re-
gard for any woman of any class.
Most of the girls he had met had sue
cumbed to his power and he held the
mo al resisting force of woman as
very low. He insulted the sister Of his
victim, after the murder.
Only few hundred youths with as
little conscience and as much cum
ming as Wolter might ruin thousands
of homes in the United States within
the course of year. And undoubtedly
there are scores of them at their dia-
bolical work in every city in the
country.
When the fate that awaits their
victims-their lives in dingy rooms,
the rear booths of saloons, the side
walks. and finally the gutters-s ta-
ken into consideration, the fate OF
Ruth Wheeler seems merciful.

MILWAUKEE, BUYING

F. NJ Well and A. w. Henning, OF
