S3O,OOO,OOO IRRIGATION PLAN
To Raise Water in Lake Wenstchee About
200 Feet and Irrigate Land Near
Quincy flats

The Echo has in the past year printed
anumber Of news stories about scheme
to take water from Wenatchee lake anc
convey it to what is known as Quincy
Flats, on the south side of the Columbia
river, some 90 miles. The scheme is
to tunnel under the Columbia river and
convey the water to the south side in a
syphon.
The residents OF White River valley
and lake Wenatchee have been exer-
cised over the proposition to flood their
lands some ITO feet by building a dam
Of that height and raise the water. Oh
course, to do this all the land owners
would have to be reimbursed.
For the past two summers surveying
parties have been camped about Wen
atchee lake, making estimates Of the
storage capacity of the lake basin and
the cost Of such an enterprise. The
following, taken from one Of the Spo-
kane papers, gives the latest informa-
ton as to the progress Of the scheme:
Preliminary survey work has been
started on the big irrigation project in
Quincy valley, where it is proposed to
put under water approximately 800, 900
acres of land. Though backed by the
Quincy Valley Water Users Association,
the work OF survey necessary to hold
title to the water rights has been made
possible by the Spokane Chamber Of
Commerce which, to date, has raised
$4,000 for the project.
1t is expected the survey work,
which consists in locating the water
line, will be completed by next spring.
At that time active steps will be taken
towards interesting capital in the pro-
ject. Two large investment houses,
one in London the other in New York,
whose names have not been disclosed,
are interested in the scheme, and have
had exhaustive reports made.
1t is estimated the cost of the pro-
ject will be approximately $50, 900, 900
or $o8 per acre. The reservoir will be
established at lake Wenatchee, the
level being raised from 1880 to 1000
feet.
Considerable speculation in Quincy
vally lands is reported. Officials of the
association state that land which sold
six months ago for $40 cannot now be
bought for less than SIS an acre, and
large realty firms and investors are
watching the progress Of the project
closely with a view to buying up large
tracts. 1t is expected the placing Of
this land under water will result in a
price Of from $400 to $500 an acre. "

So many requests have come in from
farmers and even their wives, thruout
the Inland Empire, for special short

two weeks course in poultry raising, to
commence on February 27. This
course will be under the instruction OF
Miss Lillian Blanchard, who will arrive
at the state agricultural college at
Pullman on January /. Plans have al
ready been drawn for the erection OF a
complete poultry department on the
college farm. The course taught will
include poultry houses, their care and
management, incubators, brooders,
selection Of breeds, and marketing.
Work on the new poultry department
will begin Immediately, and by spring

DEATH OF MRS. MARY BAKER EDDY
Founder and Leader of Christian Science
Victim of Old Age and Pneumonia

Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy, 90 years
old, founder and leader Of Christian
Science, died at 4:30 o'clock Sunday
morning at her home on Chestnut Hill
in Boston. No physician was in at
tendance during her illness. Dr.. Geo.
West was called Immediately after her
demise and certified that death was
due to natural causes. In his opinion
the distinguished woman's dissolution
was occasioned by old age and slight
attack of pneumonia.
Arthur Farlow, chairman of the pub
licity committee of the mother church,
issued the following statement: We
lose the counsel of our leader, but the
church organization is complete. 1t is
perfectly understood that no successor
to Mrs. Eddy will be elected. The
funeral arrangements, which she re-
quested should be be simple, probably
will not be made public until the arri-
val in Boston of her son, George W..
Glover, from his home in Deadwood,
South Dakota.
Mrs. Eddy is thought to have left a
large estate.

Collapse of Christian Science Predicted

Speedy collapse of Christian Science,
on account of the death of Mrs. Mary
Baker Eddy, was freely predicted Sun
day in church sermons by leading
Protestant clergymen of Chicago.
Bishop Cheney, Of the Reformed
Episcopal church, said he believed
Christian Science would not survive its
founder many years.

WALLAWALLAGOOD ROADS MEET
Wenatchee Gets Next Years Convention
Stste-Aid Road Law Condemned
Officers Elected

Wenatchee gets the next state good
roads convention. The selection was
made just prior to adjournment. R. H.
Thomson, city engineer Of Seattle, is
the new president Of the association.
His election was unanimous.
The selectian Of Wenatchee for the
1911 convention was not made without
a great deal Of work by the North Cen
tral Washington delegates. A strong
organization was effected with the assist
ance of the Spokane delegation.
The vote to urge the repeal Of the
state-aid road law came at the end Of
four-hour stormy session, in which Sam
Hill, S. B. L. Penrose and others did
their best to save the day. The vote
was 1O3 to "a.
The report which urges the repeal
adopted, also recommends a substitute
measure, the prncipal points Of which
are that the county engineer be ap-
pointed by the county commissioners
and have entire charge Of road building
and bridge construction in the county;
all unused moneys now in the hands OF
the state, raised for state-aid purposes,
to be returned to the counties; hall
mill levy to be made, the money to be
kept by the treasurer until needed, the
counties being allowed to draw when
they have accumulated enough to build
a half-mile OF road, and on approval OF
proper authorities; the road to be part
of some trunk line in the county, not
state highway, or continuation Of some
road partly built under the state-aid law,
or beginning at some trade center.
The convention voted against an au-
tomobile tax. Resolutions were adopted
favoring wide-tire law, the establish
ment of national highway from Walla
Walla to the east, money for the sale OF
timber in the Northwest to be used for
this purpose and the work to be done
as far as possible by federal convicts.
The convention favored amending
the yagrancy laws so as TO provide for
prisoners being worked on roads. 1t
declared for the sentencing of prisoners
direct to road camps, for paying con-
victs in cash a nominal wage for the
last ninety days of their service, and
for a poll tax of So on males. 1t ia
vored Pacific coast highway from Can
ada to Mexico, the bonding of the state
to construct several state highways and
the making of the state the first friend
for convicts.
The officers elected were: President,
R. H. Thomson of Seattle; first vice
president, J. J. Donovan Of Bellingham;
second vice president, H. A. Reynolds
Of Walla Walla; third vice president,
P. w. Cox of Colfax; fourth vice presi-
dent, E. M. Gillette Of Wenatchee;
treasurer, ]. c. Scott of Walla Walla.
The secretary will be selected by Pres
ident Thomson.

Last week the county commissioners
fixed the boundaries Of election pre-
cincts and placed all incorporate towns
into precincts by themselves. Here
after Cashmere precincts will consti-
tute the territory in the corporate limits
OF the town. All the district formerly
in this precinct outside Of town will
constitute another voting precinct and
will be known as Valley precinct.

Astoria, the scene OF the first Ameri-
can settlement on the Pacific coast, will
celebrate the centennial of its founding
next summer. The event promises to
arouse a great deal of interest thruout
the country, and the whole Pacific
Northwest should take special part in
the expositson.
The settlement made at the mouth
of the Columbia river by the Astor ex-
pedition came at the right time to give
the old Oregon country to the United
States; for, by the treaty of Client that
soon followed the founding of the col
ony, the occupants of the territory
prior to the treaty were given posses
sion. Had the Astor settlement been
delayed few years, in all probability
the Northwest would have been given
to England.

HARDER TIMES PREDICTED
Railroad and Big Business Interests Say
Rates Must Be Increased

That the railroads, which have de-
manded freight rate increases which
will amount to SIS, 100000 annually,
are in league with big business in
terests TO force the rates thru, is story
much in circulation. The business
interests are opposed to regulation
such as proposed by President Taft,
and il is said that Wall street will join
with the railroads in the fight for higher
rates.
The club that is to be held over the
interstate commerce commission and
the country in general is hard times"
Financial depression and panic, it is
predicted, will be the outcome if the
rate increares are not granted and the
business interests let alone.
This is said to have been intimated
plainly enough to be Wall steet threat.
Big business men and railroad officials
who have been in Washington during
the discussion of the rate question are
said TO have been pessimistic in their
views for the future financial outlook.
Prosperity seems TO have lost its
charm, according to the magnates,
and the manner in which they say it
is tantamount to an expression Of their
intention Of bringing about financial
depression, officials say.

Oregon will soon exploit its great
caves in Josephine county, which have
recently been set aside as a national
reservation. Moreover, the government
will place these caves in charge of q
cretaker, who will put stop to the
practice of careless tourists who invade
the caves and destroy the beauty oi
some OF the rock formations in theiI
search for curios. These caves are said
to be far superior to the Mammoth
Cave in Kentucky.
