TO[CH
MISSING
Disappeared Thursday and
His Present Where
abouts Unknown.

Engineer w. T. Tolch, who for the
past two years has been connected
with the PrOwell Engineering COM
pany, has been missing since last
Thursday and neither his friends nor
relatives have been able to locate
him. Mrs. Tolch, VIM. Bollinger and
w. R. Prowell went to Spokane this
morning with the hope of getting
trace of the missing man.
Mr.. Tolch had expected to leave
last Thursday morning for the Met
how country to do some engineering
work, but he missed the boat by a
few minutes and it is thought that
he went on the eastbound train to
Spokane. 1t is known that he went
to Spokane, as he sent to Mrs. Tolch
some checks from there on his in
struments which he had sent up
river.
1t is the firm belief of Mrs. Tolch
and his business associates in this
city that his disappearance is result
of temporary mental alteration. He
is of a highly nervous temperament
and has not been feeling well for
the past month, worrying consider
able over his business. Five years
ago Mr.. Tolch was taken with an at
tack, when, for a period of several
weeks, he was unable to tell where
he was and became lost from his
family. He finally discovered him
self by writing to the old home of
his wife in the east, which he re-
membered after many weeks. He is
highly respected here, considered a
very competent engineer and has
made many friends during his resi-
dence in this city. Friday, after it
became known that he had missed
the boat and could not be found, his
friends started a search for him, and
in doing so the police of the Sound
cities were notified with instructions
to pick him up if found. Mrs. Tolch
is very much worried over the dis
appearance of her husband. Her sis
ter will arrive here tonight from Sc
attic to aid in the search.

Wenatchee Investors Show
Confidence by Their
Purchases.

Ephrata, Wash, Sept. 26.-It is
safe to say that there is no section
in the state where land is changing
hands SO fast and on such a large
scale from the original locators to
the new homeseeker and investor,
who are looking for the 'Wenatchee
kind of fruit land, as in what is
usually termed the Moses Lake coun-
try.
The climatic conditions are the
same as at Wenatchee, the soil is
the samoa rich volcanic ash, and
water is found in abundance.
Senator Pettigrew and associates
have bought 10000 acres. which will
be put under irrigation in the near
future. They will pump from Moses
lake. Parties from Seattle, Spo-
kane, Everett and Bellingham have
bought heavily, but probably the
heaviest buyers outside of Pettigrew
and associates are the Wenatchee
fruit growers and real estate men,
who come in half dozen at a time
and buy any and all land which has
the Wenatchee kind of soil and which
can be irrigated at a reasonable lift.
The reason for all this excitement
is that the soil is identical with the
best soil found in the Wenatchee dis
trict, that the climatic conditions are
as good as the best found anywhere,
and that it has been thoroughly
proven that this Moses Lake country
has an unlimited underground sup
ply of water, which can be reached
by easily dug wells at depth of
from 25. feet and up. The general
opinion is that this country is the
old bed of the Columbia river and
that large volume of the water
from the Columbia river is still COM
ing down through here. The map
shows a chain of small lakes. brooks
and springs, which starts near Berry,
on the Columbia, to the north and
Extends in a southerly direction tow
ard White Bluffs, on the Columbia
south of here.
Numerous parties are now, and
have been for a couple of years,
pumping water from wells onto their
orchards, some of which are now in
the bearing stage and equal to the
best orchards in the Wenatchee dis
trict, while there are several hum
|dred acres more will be set out to
commercial apple orchards this COM
ing spring.
Last spring Mr.. Snyder of the Co.
|lumbia & Okanogan Nursery COM
|pany of Wenatchee, set out 20 acres
in fruit trees of all kinds. also some
nursery stock, in order to thorough
ly try out this part of the country.
All the stock set out has done so
we'll, that they are very enthusiastic
about it and have bought about 1000
acres more land, 400 acres Of which
they will set out to orchards this
looming spring. Some Carolina Pop
lars were on the nursery company's
property, which have grown from the
size of a whip last May to the size
|of a pugilist's arm and twelve feet
high now. The young fruit trees
have grown from 80 to SIS inches this
season, and they were set on: rather
|late-the first of May.

0PEN|NG0F THE
IRRIGATION
CONGRESS
Eighteenth Annual Session
Began With Thousands
of Visitors.

Pueblo, Colo, Sept. 26.-For the
second time in the history of the Or
ganization, and for the first time
since it became the leading expon-
ent in the country of national devel-
opment, the state of Colorado has
the honor of entertaining the Ma
tional Irrigation Congress. The
eighteenth annual session of the
congress began in this city today
and will continue until Friday. Dur
ing that time much important &C.
ton is expected to be taken looking
toward the reclamation of the vast
unsettled territory of the West that
but awaits he touch of water to
yield abundant crops of greatest
variety.
Not since the beginning of the
movement looking toward govern
ment aid in a vast scheme of irri-
eating the arid regions has so much
interest been taken in the meetings
of the irrigation congress and dur
ing the four days session irrigation
and its kindred subjects, foresty and
colonization, will not only be dis
cussed but practical illustrations of
what irrigation is doing for the West
will be given.
Private enterprise in irrigation
work will come in for especial atten-
ton. Tomorrow morning has been
set aside for the discussion of this
subject. Wednesday will be devot-
ed largely to the consideration of
drainage, agricultural and industrial
conditions. Questions most init
mately connected with water and it's
uses will be taken up Thursday
morning Legislation will be dis
cussed Thursday evening. Friday,
the concluding day, will be devoted
to the election of officers and the
transaction of other business, in
Guiding the selection of a meeting
place for next year. For this honor
several cities are entered in a spir-
tied contest. including Milwaukee,
Kansas City, Forth Worth. San
Francisco, Chicago, Charleston, Ro-
chester and st. Louis.
The initial feature of the program
was a monster industrial parade this
morning participated in by all the
counties and districts Of Colorado
and several of the neighboring
states. The formal opening of the
congress took place this afternoon

EVEN IN
OREGON POLLS
One Insurgent and One
Standpatter Nominated
for Congress.

Portland, Ore, Sept. 26.-ReturnS
from the primaries which were held
throughout Oregon Saturday indi-
cate that A. w. Lafferty, insurgent
and anti-assembly, has secured the
republican nomination for congress
man from the Second district by
about 1000 plurality. In this coun-
ty, Multnomah, Charles J. Reed, in
surgent, is running ahead of W. r.
Ellis. incumbent, the standpat can
didate of the assembly faction, but
the Ellis support optside of Multno-
nah will very likely place him in
second place when the returns are
all in. George S. Shepherd seems to
be out of the running.
In the First district. w. c. Haw-
ley, incumbent, the assembly's can
didate and a standpatter, has Sc
cured the nomination for congress
man by about $500 majority over
B. F. Mulkey, his insurgent oppo-
nent.
Bowerman for Governor.
For governor, Jay Bowerman, the
assembly factions candidate for the
republican nomination, has been Sc
lected by a safe margin. probably
about 1900, over Grant B. Dimick,
E. Hofer and Albert Abraham. Dim
ick gave Bowerman the hardest fight.
both in and out of Multnomah. Hofer
and Abraham were not in the run
ming. The assembly and anti-assem-
bly, factions split about even on the
other republican nominations. The
assembly has nominated F. w. Ben
son for secretary of state; Thomas
Mcbride, George H. Burnett and
Frank A. Moore. for supreme judges;
o. P. Hoff and Frank J. Miller, for
railroad commissioner; John H.
Lewis. for state engineer.
The anti-assembly faction has
nominated Thomas Kay fOf state
treasurer; Henry J. Bean for SUI
preme judge, A. NJ. Crawford, attor-
ney general. and Willis S. Duniway,
state printer.
For statement No. l."
The nominees for the legislature
from this county are overwhelming
ly in favor of Statement No. l (the
pledge of legislator to support the
popular nominee for United States
senator regardless of the nominees
party .afiliations).
In the state at large the victory of
the statement" candidates has not
been quite so nearly unanimous as
in Multnomah, but the majority of
the republican nominees throughout
the state are believed to be pledged
to the statement. &
The democrats put up a legisla-
tive ticket lin but few counties, and
the victorious candidates are prac-
tically all pledged.
The only contest on the demo-
cratic ticket was between Oswald
West and Jefferson Myers for the
|gubernatorial nomination.
West won by a substantial ma
jority, although sufficient figures
have not been received to state by
what majority. There were practic-
ally no other democratic candidates
for nomination.

The reason for all this exciteme

the land. Land could be bong

Figuring on a fifty foot lift, t

If the land cost SIS per acre. a
if the water right costs $40 I
acre, we have a total cost of 5
per acre for land and water. T
cost of pumping water onto [

Now compare this with irrigat
