once more Jenny came to the window.
Then she flung the door wide open.

had to stoop to enter it. It was a
dingy little room. and there was. a
dumpy black stove in the corner, with
a bubbling iron pot that gave forth a
most appettzing odor.

cloak and a black velvet hat. with a
waving plume. and her mufr was big
and round and soft. and she had a
scarf of the same. soft fur about her
neck. Her hair was pale gold, and she
had the bluest eyes and the reddest
lips. and her smile was so sweet and
tender that Jenny ran right up to her

herr. known as "Six Shooter Kate

BALl|NeER TALKS
OF POMONA HEIGHTS
Says Department Is Not Prepared
at This Time to Make Agree
ment for Irrigation.

Secretary of the Interior Ballinger
writing to c. A. Bryant regarding the
changes that the reclamation service
will furnish water for the Pomona
Heights project says that it is not
deemed advisable for the department
at this time to enter into negotiations
with the landowners in the nature of
a contract under which the reclama-
ton service will furnish specified
amount OF water at any specified
time. The government might be in a
position to furnish water for a con-
siderable acreage in 1911 and subse-
quently might not be in a position to
furnish as extensive or much more
extensive an acreage and rather init
mated that after 1911, $500 acres
would be the limit. Later when ex-
act information is obtainable, Mr..
Ballinger said an agreement will be
made for the delivery of water in the
Eas; Selah at not more than $3.50
per acre payable in ten annual in
stalments and plus the charge for
maintenance-and operation of the
storage reservoirs apportioned annu-
ally to the acreage covered.

WENATCHEE LAND
BRINGS BIG PRICE
III. A. Chaplin Disposes of Castle
Rock Avenue Property to George
III. Phau of Illinois.

1t is evident that $500 per acre
may be the standard price for bear
ing orchard in this valley during the
coming season. H. A. Chaplin of Cas-
tie Rock avenue yesterday sold his
fine 10-acre tract for $4,000 to Geo.
HI. Phau of Odell, III. Mr.. lohau is a
brother-in-law of J. H. Raymond and
was induced to come to this valley
and look it over through the efforts of
Mr.. Raymond. The Chaplin place is
set to five and six year old trees and
last year, even though young. pro-
duced a fine crop. The varieties are
mostly Stayman Winesaps. Rome
Beauty, Jonathans and Grimes Col
den. The place also has a modern
house and is one of the choice places
of the valley.
Six years ago in March Mr.. Chaplin
and family came here from Nebras-
ka and purchased 20 acres, paying
for the land 1925 per acre. 1t was
all in sage brush at that time. The
first year after the purchase five acres
was sold for $500; two years ago
another five acres was sold for $500
and the remaining 10 acres was sold
yesterday for $4,000. making a total
price of $4,000 for the 20 acres
which originally cost $4,000.
Mr.. Phau will return to his Illinois
home, but expects to come back in
the early spring with his family and
take up his residence on his new
property. Mr.. and Mrs. Chaplin are
undecided as yet as to their plans for
the future.

FOR WATER SYSTEM
San Francisco Votes Bond Issue
for the Hetch-Hetchy Valley
Project.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 17.-By a
vote of 32.S76 to 1907 San Francisco
at a special election held today, au-
thorized bond issue of $45, 5000, 900
for the acquisition of reservoir sites
at Lake Eleanor in the Hetch- Hetchy
valley in the Sierras, and a compre-
hensive distributing system for a mu-
nicipal water supply.
This proposed source is nearly 200
miles from the city. Permission for
the construction of the reservoirs has
been granted by the government, with
the stipulation that Lake Eleanor
watershed shall be developed to its
fullest extent before the Hetch-
Hetchy shall be developed. The city
has expended 100000 in preliminary
work on this proposition.
The second proposition on the bal
lot, the voting of s35, 100000 bonds
for the purchase of the Spring val
ley water system, which is at present
supplying the city, was lost by 1894
votes.
