NEW TERRITORY FOR L. S.
United States May Purchase Sagha-
lien Island From Russian
Government.

Victoria, B. c., Jan. 22.-Japanese
newspapers received by the steamer
Empress of Japan, which reached
port from the Orient today, publish
report current in Toxic that the
Russian government intends to sell
the northern part of Saghalien island
to the United States. The island is
situated off the east coast of Asia and
il valuable for its fur-bearing ami
mails. In 1905 the southern half of
the island was ceded to Japan.
A japanese official quoted in the
published accounts of the pending
transfer, said that it is probable that
this territory will change hands soon,
but denied that the United States
would be the purchaser.

10000 ACRES OF N. p. HOLDINGS
TO BE PUT UNDER WATER
WITHIN COMING YEAR-HILL
INTERESTED.

Central Grant county is on the eve
of emerging from obscurity into the
limelight and is destined to become
the heart-the life center-of eastern
Washington at an early date, says the
Grant County Journal. A business
transaction has been consummated
within the past week whereby vast
tracts of land will within a years
time be changed from a semi-arii,
fruitless condition to fruitful irrigat-
ed land capable of producing susten-
ance and affluence for thousands of
families.
Senator Pettigrew. in Connection
with other eastern capitalists, has
purchased from the Northern Pacific
Railway company all their holdings
bordering on Moses Lake. both on the
east and the west. This land lies In
townships Is, 10 and 20, ranges "a
and %, and comprises about 10000
acres. The purchase price was IS
per acre with an agreement to put the
land under water within one year. The
proect will necessarily be carried out
by the installation of large pumping
plants at various places along the
lake, which will mean the investment
of more money and employment for
many men.
1t is understood that Hollister of
the Twin Falls irrigation project and
]. J. Hill of the Great Northern rail-
way are associated with Pettigrew in
this investment. and that an abund-
ance of capital is forthcoming for car
rying out the agreement.
This is an important event in the
history of this part of Washington
and means the immediate develop
ment and population of this vast acre
age, which will necessarily be follow
ed-or preceded-by transportation
facilities, either steam or electric.
