Spokane is to have notable pu-

the champion, and Master Tommy

Tommy hurt his kneen in a lacrosse
match at Vancouver, B. c., and as
he has several important matches
in sight and hopes some day to re.

the injured member.
He writes, however, that the
wrenched knee is much improved
and that he will come over and take

than possible that he will invest
some of his surplus coin before
leaving.

The public reason for throwing

CLEVELAND, Sept. 25.-Break-
ing into the American league at the
flag end of his first season in pro-
fessional base ball, Fred (Fritz)
Banding, former University of
Michigan pitching star. made a
name for himself by shutting out
Washington, tanning eight batters
and doing what no other Cleveland
HEAVIER has accomplished this year
beating Walter Johnson, consid-
cred by many the worlds greatest
pitcher.
Banding was the best college
pitcher Michigan ever had, and the
best in the colleges during his
time. He left Michigan last season,
despite the appeals of Coach Yost,
who wanted the husky youth for
his Hurry Up" eleven. Blanding
being a foot ball star as well as a
diamond hero.

Banding was discovered by
Scout Bob Gilks, in San Antonio
this year. Although his record was
anything but brilliant, due chiefly
to the fact that the youngster was
far from well, he looked good
enough to Gilks at the draft price,
and was picked accordingly.
His advent in the American
league was really wonderful. He
started off in the first inning by
hitting two men and walking an
other. Before he filled the bases
by hitting the second man he tossed
out one man who sacrificed. Then
he famed two men.
He allowed but six hits. In the
last inning he struck out the
three men who faced him, includ-
ing an emergency hitter, sent to bat
for the catcher. Taken by and

goods.

which has taken well with the

MEMS GREhT DEHL
For the Development Of the Val
l. I H n
For the Development Of the Val
ley and Growing Of Crops
each Year

The irrigation meeting at Walk
er's Hall yesterday afternoon was
well attended, farmers from
nearly all parts Of the valley be-
ing present. The hall was full,
even to standing room. Chairs
were brought over from the M.
E. church, and all were occupied.
Lucius Knight, chairman of
the committee, made an address,
explaining the proposition, Civ
ing much information that the
farmers wanted to know. Mayor
Van Stone and Attorney Ayers
gave interesting statements of
facts and figures, and those pres
ent were apparently well satis-
fled with the answers to questions
and explanations on the part of
the promoters.
General enthusiasm prevailed,
and we were informed that sew
enteen quarter sections were sub
scribed on the spot. This is more
than one fourth of the ten thou
sand acres required, and proves
that our people want the plant.
No doubt the remainder will be
subscribed in a very short time,
as soon as the people generally
thoroughly understand the pro-
position.
Briefly the proposition of the
promoters is this. They agree to
erect a plant in Estancia sufficient
to furnish electric power to pump
water to irrigate ten thousand
acres of land, build the necessary
transmission lines, and furnish
the pumps with which to raise
the water. They ask that the
people subscribe for ten thousand
shares of stock at forty-fve dol
lars per share, each share to rep
resent an acre to be irrigated,
Of this forty-five dollars, three
dollars and a half of each share
or $3.50. 90 per quarter section is
to be paid as soon as the bonds
are issued. The remainder, $41.-
SO per acre or $6,6 per quarter
section to be paid in ten years,
being secured by mortgage on
the land, with interest at six per
cent, payable semi-annually.
This balance of Sc, $40 per quar-
ter section is to be paid in
eight annual installments, the
first not due until January 1,
1918, thus giving the farmers
two seasons to grow crops to
meet the first payment. Of course
the interest is to be paid during
the interval. The farmers must
sink their own wells, and erect
buildings over the pumping sta
tions.

supply under present arrange :
ments. For such a location where
as in this case the most suitable
water is found at considerable
depth, the more suitable type of
plant is that employing some type
of suction pump whereby the
water may be drawn from the
deeper underfow by suction as
would be the case with a centri-
fugal or piston pump.
