WANTS CITY TO
GET TRACT
INDEX
Treasurer Peterson Sees
Where It Can Be Made
to Save It's Cost
in One Year.

City Treasurer J. Oscar Peterson
is in favor of the establishment of
az city tract index. The city paid
the abstract companies in 1909
$1,000 for the names of owners OF
real estate, for use in making out
the assessment rolls in street i'm
Iprovements. This was at the rate
of 10 cents per name for 2l,OOO
names. Treasurer Peterson thinks
that an ownership index that would
supply the desired information
could be made for $4,000 to $4,000,
and will save almost as much in
one year as it will cost.
The county had such an owner
ship index until two years ago,
when the abstract companies
slipped a measure through the leg
islature making it illegal for coun-
ties to own the index list. Spokane
county had a tract index at that
time that was worth many thou
sands Of dollars, which after the
passage of this law sold to the
Union Trust Co. for $3.50.
Treasurer Peterson has been
asked by the city council to tncor-
porate his views into a written rec
ommendation and submit the same.
If there is not too strong an oppo-
sitiOn from the abstract men the
city may launch into the mainten-
ance of tract index for its own
and the general public's informa-
ton.

ed to the raising of fruit and truck
gardening, and many of those who
have purchased there are making
extensive preparations to enter into
truck gardening and apple raising
as their chief industry. and on a
large scale this summer. Many new
improvements will be added to the
country as well.

PO|NTST0 BAD
MAIL SERVICE
THREE DAYS CONSUMED IN A
LETTER TRAVELLING FOUR
OR FIVE MILES.

A letter was forwarded yesterday
to Senator Wesley l.. Jones by r.
A. Jones, proprietor of the River
side nursery, east of the city, urg
ing that the senator use every
means within his power to further
the making of the Hillyard post
office part of the Spokane office,
to be run as an Independent station.
Mr.. Jones lives only four or five
miles east of the city, yet he states
that it now takes a letter three
days to go to his home from Spo-
kane. He gets his mail over Rural
Route No. | at Hillyard. Jones does
not blame the management of the
Hillyard office for this condition,
but says it is due to the handicaps
under which the Hillyard office la
bors. He says there is no relief
in sight until the mail for Hillyard
is handled as part of that of the
Spokane postoffice.

DEVELOPMENT FARTHER EAST
Opportunity and Vera, which are
practically the same in all but
name and stage of development. as
well as GrcenacreS, Otis Orchards,
East and West Farms and Pasa'
dena and other irrigation projects
up the valley. are cut into tracts
that are particularly desirable to
the raising of fruit and vegetables.
These are cut into five and ten
acre tracts, but many of the buy,
crs are taking up Is and 20 acres
of the land, figuring on the culture
of fruit on a large scale.
These projects have suddenly
found themselves more than ordi
narily popular because of the com
rlction of the Vera car line, which
not only adds much TO the trans
portation facilities of the communI-
ty, but has furnished those living
on the tracts with freight and
express service. II Is promised
that this district shall have a 20.

ing in the Spokane valley is no
longer a matter of question. The
rapidly increasing value of the
land that has been put to this use.
as well as the showing made in the
markets by its products, has proved
this beyond doubt.
Year after year since the rich
ness and adaptabilities of the Spo-
kane valley have become known,
large sums of money have been eX-
pended to place new and larger
tracts and additions under water
that they may be ready for the
market when called for by the in
weston and eastern immigrant.
Experiments made in the early
beginning of the district proved
that the valley soil was rich in the
elements necessary for the produc-
ton of such fruits and vegetables
as are most needed. Surveys were
made to prove. before the sale of
the valley land was undertaken on
y wide scale. that the waters of the
nearby lakes could be brought by
gravity system down the valley
and upon the majority OF the land
in it.
Greenacres was the first irri-
gated tract to be placed on the mar
kct. This was in 1901, right after
canal was constructed from Lib,
erty Lake to water the $50 acres
of land in the project. Greenacres

The roadbed is already completed

district The ties and steel, it is
declared, will be laid as soon as
the roadbed has settled sufficiently
to permit of it. Inconvenience of

one of the greatest drawbacks to-

Spokane, like other inland cities
of the northwest in general, owes
much of its success and growth to
the wealth produced by its tribu

permanent system of irrigation,

Next Sunday Morning =
Much Interest in Events,

Yesterday morning there was a
shell race on the harbor, and three
crews took part in 1t. The contest
ended in a win for the crew stroked
by Oswald Lightfoot, and 1t had a
fairly easy time of II. The cox was
young Hall, and he was so anxious
to get to church that he made his
crew row about twice the distance
of the race before the event started
However, after some delay tho
crews got to the starting post and
were sent away to good start.
Lightfoot's crew hit 1t up in great
style and soon established lead on
the others, who all seemed to get
into pilikia right at the start. One
oar broke and some crabs were
caught, but all three crews battled
1t out to the finishing line.
The course was from the Hackfeld
wharf to a line between No. buoy
and the Channel wharf. The dis
lance was about three quarters of a
mile. and the men finished It In frst-
class condition.
The winners will have to tackle
the same crews next Sunday, and
then once more on Sunday week. The
series was arranged to be for the
best two out of three races, and 1t Is
possible that extra races will have
to be pulled to decide the matter.
