FILED ON LAND At
MOSES LAKE
MRS. c. f. LILIIS HAS 40 ACRES
OF LAND SURROUNDED BY
RESORT.

Mrs. c. E. Lillise has filed script
on a 40-acre island in Moses Lake.
During the past 25 years Moses lake
has fallen from 10 to ~ feet and
this has created a good sized island
in the middle The she has filed
script upon and has taken up her
residence on it. Moses lake is froz-
en- over now and the lumber was
hauled onto the island the latter part
of last week by team. Her household
goods are already in the cabin she
has built. Mrs. Lillise took up her
residence on the island just in the
nick of time as several other parties
had in view filing on the land. The
soil is deep, black loan and though
1t lis some seven or eight feet above
the high water mark OF the lake yet
it sub-irrigates and will produce two
or three crops of hay per year. Mrs.
Lillis already values her new land
holdings at $4,000. She will plant
il to orchard next spring.
1t is her intention to establish a
pleasure resort there and have a
house capable Of entertaining large
namber of visitors.
During her absence from this city
her chickens got into the habit Of
running at large and she was up be-
fore Judge Sorenson this morning in
the justice court on the charge OF vio-
lating the ordinance providing for
preventing chickens from running at
large. She says that will take her
chickens with her to her new home
30 they will not become nuisance.
Mrs. Lillis, Drs. Mccoy and Has
kell have all filed on homesteads
within two miles of Ephrata the lat
ter part Of last week and they all
report great activity In that country.
The securing of 10000 acres OF land
adjacent to Ephrata last week by an
eastern company has given an impe-
tins to irrigation matters in that sec
tfon.

BIG DITCH
|. At PRIEST RAPIDS
REPORTS THAT STEAM SHOVEL
is AT WORK ON HUGE EXCAVA-
TON NEAR COLUMBIA-Is A
STRAHORN PROJECT.

A steam shovel is at work near the
head of Priest Rapids on the Column
bia river and has begun the excava-
ton work for a ditch there Otto
Hamel, of Bend, where he is post
master and store keeper, was a North
Yakima visitor Friday and stated that
the ditch which has been begun has
an extreme width of $50 feet across
the top. This is what might be
termed a "skookum" ditch, a verit-
able Panama canal. Mr.. Hamel says,
however, that there is no mistake
about the figures. He says, however,
that he is unable to say for what
concern the operations are inten ied
and understands that the Strahorn
people declare that if there is a
steam shovel in operation there it is
not theirs.
Is a Strahorn Project.
1t is generally believed, however,
that the Strahorn interests are back
of the digging and that it is apower
canal which is under construction.
AS the difference between high and
lower water in the Columbia at that
point is near to 80 feet and as the
canal will have to be several feet be-
low extreme low water it becomes
necessary to dig to considerable
depth, and as the character of the
soil makes the slope of the bank but
slight one, comparatively, there
fore the need for the great breadth
at the top. That 1t is as wide as
stated, however, would seem improb-
able.
Reports which have reached North
Yakima from the Hartford and White
Bluffs sections of the Columbia river
and from the various people who have
gone up river to Wenatchee make 1t
apparent that there is to be a great
deal of activity along the river this
year, particularly in the Priest Rap
ids section.-Yakima Herald.
