STEMILT CREEK CASE
New Irrigation Company Seeks to
Get New Adjudication of Water
Rights Although Two Cases Have
Been Carried to Supreme Court
Many Parties Involved

A suit has been instituted in the
superior court of the safe of Wash
ington, in Chelan county, by the Ste
milt Irrigation company, a corpora
ton, as plaintiff against the follow
ing corporations and persons as de-
PENDANTS: Lake Irrigation company.
Spring Hill Irrigation company, NAL
aga Irrigation company, Malaga Land
company, H. A. Snyder, Henry Wills,
Martin Drifting, James Mcclellan, H
Steffen, w. E. Porter, j. D. Walker,
S. D. Chisholm, Sidney Perry, Frank
Kingsbury, Philander P. Woods. j.
o. Killian, George Mead, J. E. Soule,
Thomas Chisholm and w. H. Leavell,
as defendants.
The suit involves practically all of
the users of waters from the Stemilt
creek. 1t is understood that some of
the plaintiffs are part of the owners
of the Skookum ditch, the Morris
ditch, the Perry ditch and the CHS
holm ditch.
The complaining parties claim that
they have the first right to divert wa
tiers from Stemilt creek to the amount
of 900 inches, miners measure I'M
der six-inch pressure, and to use
the same for domestic, stock and ir-
rigation purposes. They also allege
that the defendants have diverted the
waters of the creek to the damage of
the property rights of the plaintiffs,
and they seek to adjudicate the mat
ter in the courts.
Prior to this case two other cases
in regard to the water rights of Ste
milt creek have been settled. Both
cases were carried to the supreme
court, and it was supposed that the
question of rights had been settled.
But as decided the case holds only
those parties involved and the new
plaintiffs come forward with this
case. The two cases previously de-
cided as follows: First case, P. Mil
Ter VS.. Lake Irrigation Co. and Sec
ond case, Spring Hill Irrigation COM
pany VS.. Lake Irrigation company.
J. NJ Rose, it is said, is the presi-
dent of the Stemilt Creek Irrigation
company. The new corporation has
started the case through Attorneys
Martin & Barrows. Some of the de-
PENDANTS have retained the law firm
of Ludington e Kemp.
The case will probably not come
before the court for settlement before
the second of March.

President w. T. Clark of the State
Horticultural society, has prevailed
upon L. G. Monroe, secretary of the
Spokane Chamber of Commerce to go
to Washington to assist in the fight

box bill. A great deal of satisfaction
is felt here over the fact that Mr..
Munroe is to represent the state, as
he is considered very able man. At
the meeting to be held here next Sat
urday the county horticultural So
ciety will also select a representative
for this purpose and an organized eff

INDIANS WOULD
TRAIN HERE
CLIFFORD NEWMAN STATES
SPOKANE INDIANS WOULD
COME HERE FOR TRAINING
SEASON.

Clifford Newman, the well known
salesman of the United Cigar COM
pany and partner of President Cohn
of the Spokane Indians, stated to the
World, when he was here Friday,
that the Spuokane Indians were con-
sidering the matter of coming here
to train.
Heretofore the Indians have always
trained at Lewiston and the citizens
of that place are liable to bring con-
siderable pressure to bear in order
to retain the ball players. ~
If Wenatchee wants the club here
it will be necessary for those who
are interested to get together as
soon as possible and take some def
mite action as the season is draw
ing near.
The move would be quite stimu-
lus for getting the much needed and
much discussed Recreation park on
a definite basis.

Seattle, Feb. 1.-THE Times says:
AS part of merger of eight sep
arate and electric power, railroad,
light and irrigation companies in
Central and Eastern Washington,
covering more than fifty per cent of
available hydraulic power resources
of the state subject to private devel-
opment, Robert E. Strahorn today
closed negotiations for tho purchase
for 100000 of the water rights and
surveys of the Columbia Development
company. The purchase gives to
Strahorn's North Coast railroad con-
troll of valuable water rights on the
Columbia river, eight miles above
Priest Rapids, and also gives him
control in development of hundred
thousand acre tract north Of Pasco
The following named electric plants,
railroad and irrigation companies,
the majority of which have long been
controlled by Strahorn, will be
merged into a new corporation and
united under one management for
development. The investment in
wolves not less than twelve millions
of eastern money in these enter
prises:
Northwest Light e Power COM
pany, of North Yakima; North Yak
ina Transportation cimpany; North
western Gas and Electric company
and Walla Walla Traction company,
operating in Walla Walla and vi
entity; Wenatchee Electric company
and Valley Power company, owning
valuable water rights and electric
power properties in the Wenatchee
valley; Twin Cities Rapid Transit

COLUMBIA RIVER
IMPROVEMENT
RIVERS AND HARBORS BILL PRO-
VIDES FOR EXPENDITURE OF
$2,153,5OO FROM KETTLE
FALLS TO PORTLAND.

Portland, Ore, Feb. 14-(Special)
That the Columbia river improve
ments Jared we'll in the rivers and
harbors bill now before congress was
the advice received in Portland this
week from the capital. A total of
$2,153,500 is proposed to be spent
on Columbia river work and items
provided for in the bill are as fol-
lows:
Wenatchee to Bridgeport, $4,000.
Bridgeport to Kettle Falls, $780,
600.
Cello to Snake river, $4,000.
At The Dalles, 100000.
Cascades canal, $4,000.
Vancouver, $500.
Below Portland, including Villa
mette river, $175, 900.
Mouth of Columbia, $1,200,000.
Gauging, $1,000.
If this money is appropriated, as
now seems likely, the improvements
to the Columbia during the coming
year will be lasting in their benefits
and will be of great advantage to the
whole Pacific Northwest. The work
is too important to be claimed as a
betterment by any one state for an
open river from the Inland Empire
to the sea will benefit almost every
person living in the northwestern
states more or less directly.
By clearing out the upper river,
steamboat navigation will be aided,
with a good effect on rates to and
from the interior, while the improve
ment of the channel to the sea from
the Columbia will facilitate ocen
shipments both to and from the
northwest states.
The Great Northern railway will
exploit central Oregon, and has sent
two men through that territory to get
data for bulletins and other railroad
publications that will describe the
country thoroughly and tell prospect
i've settlers what they may expect
there. The valley of the Desehutes
will come in for much favorable pub
licity and its resources. crop POSSIBLE
tiles and general future will be told.
The Hill lines are taking an interest
in Oregon that will mean much for
the state. At exhibit rooms in st.
Paul, the Great Northern shows Ore
gon products and similar exhibits
are to be maintained by the railroad
company in Philadelphia and Boston.
These places will direct great deal
of attention to the opportunities in
central Oregon for the settler

FIGHT OVER WATER
RIGHTS
MILLIONS INVOLVED IN LITIGA-
TION WHICH WILL BE FOUGHT
OUT IN GRANT COUNTY AT
COMING TERM OF COURT.

Wilson Greek, Wash, Feb. IA
A big legal battle will be fought at
the next term of Superior court for
Grant county, February %, when
representatives of the Strahorn in
terests and the Columbia River Or
chards company will air their rea-
sons for wishing to have the con-
demnation proceedings against the
property of 40 landowners along the
Columbia river, between Beverly and
White Bluffs, decided in their favor.
The best legal talent in Seattle
and Spokane has been engaged and
the rival companies will make bit
ter fight for supremacy.
The orchards company want the
right to ditch through the land for
irrigation purposes. 1t is claimed
that the Strahorn interests want a
ditch for water power and in the
event of their winning out they will
carry the water to lower altitude,
thereby putting the orchards COM
pany out of commission as far as the
use of a ditch is concerned.
Each party will, therefore, try to
have the condemnation proceedings
decided in their favor and as the Co
lumbia River Orchards company is
said to have 100000 behind their
fight, and the Strahorn resources
are supposed to be practically un-
limited, the case is stirring up a
good deal of interest.

trio company, the Valley Power com.
pany and the Entiat Light & Power

formation whatever relative to the
proposed deal, but it is known that
expert accountants, engineers and
attorneys were here looking over
books, properties and possibilities OF
the companies involved. It is said
that the deal for these properties
involved a great deay of money. The
Associated Press dispatch received
today from Seattle confirms the re-
port of the merging of the sWenat-
chez Electric company and the Val
ley Power company with the Stra-
norm systems. president Gum, OF
the Wenatchee Electric company
when asked to confirm the deal,
stated that he had nothing to say

absent from the city and no one in
his office was authorized to say any

mentioned in the proposed deal, but
it is Understood that negotiations were
on for this company as well as the
