The apple once upon a time had
something to do with the knowledge
of good and evil.
Wenatchee in the present year Of
Our Lord has something to do with
the apple.
Therefore it seems meet and
proper that Wenatchee should devote
some of the profit and fairness of the
apple toward the solution of the
problem of good and evil.
And that IS what she is doing.
The red apple town has broken
the ground for $4,000 Y. NJ. G. A
building. which it is expected will be
opened in the spring, and this devo-
ton of money for good against evil
heads the building and municipal
Improvement revival which Wenat-
chez at present enjoys.
Streets are to be paved, the busi-
ness district is to be enlarged, 10
miles of sewer are to be laid and
contractors arc rushing work on new
houses, but first on the list come;
the new Y. VI. c. A. All the citi-
zens join in the interest in this work,
most of them have contributed mon

The apple is sowing the seed in
Wenatchee, not only of a greater

DRAFT NEW |RR|GA-
TON CODE
Session Will Devote Con-
siderable Time to Revis-
ing Present Laws.

Irrigation will receive considerable
attention at the coming session of
the state Legislature. Governor Hay
has already appointed a commission
10 draft new laws and amendments
to the present code of Washington.
This commission will meet in Spo-
kane November 18th for the first
meeting. The commission consists
of c. P. Lund of Spokane. Professor
o. l.. Waller of Pullman, T. Black
well and c. B. Graves of Seattle, and
Leo Meigs of North Yakima
The work Of the commission will
be TO prepare bill which will sys-
tematically govern the appropriation
of public waters for irrigation pur-
poses. The present laws in Wash
ington are bulky and Inadequate,
having arisen mostly from series
of amendments which trace. their
origin to the early days of Washing
ton as state, and when the matter
of appropriating public waters was
not a serious question. Because of
the extensive development work the
state officials believe the time has
come for reimbursement in the way
of rectifying and codifying the pres
ent law.
The code commission works with
out funds and as soon as the code
is drafted it will be sent to the gov
crnor and will be brought up at The
coming session Of the new legisla-
turc.

Must Furnish Water

There is also going to be an at
tempt made to revise the irrigation
laws whereby irrigation companies
may be penaliZed for not furnishing
the water. which they have sold.
This law is to be modelled somewhat
after the laws of Idaho, making it
mandatory upon the company, if
half an inch of water per acre Is sold,
that this amount must be forthcom-
ing. Furthermore, all irrigation
company land sale contracts shall
be subject to the approval of an ir-
rigation board. the object being TO
make all contracts absolutely plain
and cutting out the evasive parts,
by reason of which so many people
do not know whether they have title
