TO MEASURE WATER
ON RESERVATION
New Plan Is Inaugurated Which
Will Result in More Even Dis
tribution During Irrigation.

Ranchers on the lower end of the
reservation irrigation system are be-
ing given a show for their white al
ley. The water is to be measured
that passes through the boxes and all
the supply will not be exhausted al
one end of the system. The prepare
tory work for this innovation is now
in progress. The headgates are being
lettered and numbered, the letters ac-
cording to the laterals and the num-
bers according to the headgates. Be-
low each headgate is placed board
properly marked, so that the ditch
rider will be able to see at a glance
just how much water is passing to
the Individual owner and whether /,
is too much or too little.
Hitherto after haying, as an Illus
tration, all the ranchers wanted water
at the same time and each one want
ed enough at one time to cover a 4C
acre tract. The result Of the aggre-
cation of wants was that there were
water difficulties at times. Engineer
Martin. who has charge of the work
on the reservation, is installing this
new system and practically all the
reservation ranchers who have come
in contact with it, are pleased. 1t will
be solution of a problem which has
caused considerable trouble.

TIE Important
Problem

confronting anyone in need of laXa-
tive is not a question of a single ac-
tion only, but of permanently bene-
fetal effects, which will follow proper
efforts to live in a healthful way, with
the assistance of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, whenever it is re-
quired, as it cleanses the system
gently yet promptly, without irritation
and will therefore always have the
preference of all who wish the best of
family laxatives.
The combination has the approval
of physicians because it is known to
be truly beneficial, and because it has
given satisfaction to the millions of
well-informed families who have used
it for many years past.
To get its beneficial effects, always
buy the genuine manufactured by the
California Fig Syrup Co. only.

OLYMPIA IS
A TOTAL LOSS
Cargo and Passengers Rescued by
Relief Boats Sent to Her
Rescue.
WENT ON ROCKS OFF
STORMY ALASAKA COAST
Passengers Have Only Praise for
Crew and Captain Who Stood
Nobly by When it Seemed That
Tide Would Prove Undoing.

VALDEZ, Dec. 12.-Completely
sheathed in ice with a great hole
torn in her hull amidship and with
rs to % feet of water in all COM
partments, the steamer Olympia lies
stranded on a reef of Ligh Island and
is expected to become a total loss
with her cargo, part of which had
been saved from the same company's
steamer Northwestern when she was
sunk recently. OF the 1875 persons on
board the Olympia, all were saved
and taken to Valdez and Ellamar
with the exception of three members
Of the crew who are standing by the
ship.
When the Olympia left Cordova
Saturday night after emptying her
after hold of commercial coal. furi-'
Gus gale hit the steamer. Her pro-
pellor was out of the water and her
rudder useless nearly the while time.
When the vessel struck, the hull was
not injured but continued pounding
of the surf hammered the steamer
against the rocks until her hull caved
in and her hold was flooded Wire
less Operator George T. Hayes sent
distress messages until water depriv-
ed him of his battery He received
an answer from Valdez that steam
ers had set out to rescue them. The
wreck was only 35 miles from VAL
deZ.
Nhe launch Corsair which put out
from Katalla to go to the assistance
of the Olympia was compelled to put
back on account of the fury of the
storm. The government launch Dom
aldson made two trips to Ellamar
with passengers and thecst<amer Juno
took off the crew and the mail and
baggage. Passengers unite in praise
of the crew for the work done to
make the passengers comfortable
after the accident. One of the most
anxious hours was while the tide was
rising Sunday morning. 1t was feared
the boat would be lifted and slide
into deep water. These fears proved
groundless, for when the tide was at
flood and the danger greatest, the
hold filled quickly and the boat set
tied quietly This stopped the
pounding and proved to be an ad-
vantage.

TELEGRAPH SERVICE EXPANDS.
Night Letter VIII Facilitate Foreign
Service of Western Union,

The Western Union Telegraph COM
pany announced today another in
novation in telegraph service called
the Special Ocean Mail Service"
designed to save time in foreign cor
respondence. A letter from San
Francisco to London requires as
much time crossing the continent as
it does crossing the ocean. A New
York merchant writing to Yokohoma
must post his letter practically a
week before the mail steamer sails
from San Francisco or Vancouver.
The Western Union has arranged
for the use of its night letter and
other Geographic service in connec-
ton with outgoing ocean mails 50
that this week of transcontinental
time may be saved. This will enable
correspondence to be dispatched
from any part of the United States
for an ocean mail within few
hours of sailing time. The only
charge in addition to the usual tele-
graph tolls to the ocean mail port
will be five cents for postage. Tele-
grams should bear the full mail ad-
dress of the foreign correspondent
for whom they are intended and
marked Care Ocean Mail New
York" or San Francisco, Seattle or
Vancouver, as the case may be. No
charge will be made for the address.

is an important move as it carries the
influence of the association outside of
this county and into Benton where
there are extensive and growing in

PEOPLE Want
MORE WATER
Storage Basins at McAllister's
Meadows and Lake Gle Elum
Are Greatly Desired.
BUSINESS MEN PETITION
JONES TO TAKE ACTION
Further Extension of the Irrigated
Area in This Valley Depends
Absolutely on Water Which
Government Only Can Furnish.

Business men Of North Yakima
want government reclamation work
to include not only storage reservoirs
on Lakes Kaches and Keechelus but
on Lake Gle Elum and McAlisters
Meadows as WELL The Meadows are
on the headwaters of the Tieton. I'M
less these two are included, it Is con-
tended, further development of the
Sunnyside and of the Indian reser-
walton will be impossible. A reso-
luton urging influence to this effect
was passed by business men in session
at the Comemrcial club last night 1T
will be forwarded to Senator Jones.
1t has been learned here that the
government proposes to give but little
of the twenty million dollar appro-
priation for reclamation work to the
Yakima country but to turn large
amount over to the Milk river and an
other project in Montana. The reason
for this is that the land under the
projects in Montana is government
land whereas that in this valley is
largely railroad or private land.
Private Lands Claim.
The big claim that Yakima private
land presents is that it has surrender
ed all the surplus waters of the Yak
ina river to the government and that
not another acre here can be brought
under cultivation unless the govern
ment is willing. Storage is all that
is asked and the returns are asserted
to be more certain and quick than
from any other project. The subject
was presented to the meeting of at
the Comemrcial club last night by
J. l.. Hughes who offered resolu
ton which was seconded by w. A.
Bell and l.. o. Meigs. The resolu-
ton was as follows:
Resolved: That as all surplus wa
ters' in the Yakima water shed has
been turned over to the United States
government so that any further de-
velopment of land in the Yakima
valley is only possible from stored
water furnished by the government,
Tho Yakima Commercial club and the
Business Mems association respect
fully urge the Hon. w. l.. Jones to
use every effort to secure tho largest
possible share of the government APP
completion of the dams of Keechelus,
Kaches, Gle Elum and McAllister's
Meadows the completion of all these
dams being necessary for any further
appropriation of 100000 900 for the
extension of the irrigated area.
This resolution passed unanimously.
Where Yakima Stands.
w. p. Romans pointed out that 1t
carries with it the future, or at least
the immediate future of the High
Line project. That project will bring
,Ipder cultivation Tx 600 acres i'm
mediately tributary to North Yakima;
$4,000 acres tributary in partial
way, being land in the lower valley,
and an extra 100000 acres in the
Columbia basin.
