WITH IRRIGATED LANDS

| Olympia, Nov. 1.-THE state bureau
| of statistics and immigration, OF
which the secretary of state, l. NJ
Howell, is ex-officio commissioner, has
just issued report dealing with the

The work was compiled and pre-
pared for publication by Deputy Com

a portion of the summer visiting diff
ferent sections of the state where ir-
rigation is practiced to secure the nee
essary data.
The pamphlets consist of ninety-six
pages of illustrated, descriptive and
tabulated matter, and is undoubtedly
the most complete treatise on the sub
ject of Washington Irrigated Lands
that has yet been issued.
The method of treatment includes a
general survey of the irrigated sec
tons, in which such subjects as
Methods of Irrigation" Capital Re-
CURED "Soil," Climate" How to
Select a Location ETC., are consid-
cred.
This section of the book is followed
by series of articles dealing with the
counties which have developed i'm
portant irrigation enterprises.
Each county is taken up in turn and
description given of the various irri-
cation projects, the amount of land re-
claimed under each and the products
and special advantages of the different
counties carefully set forth.
The work of the United States gov
eminent in connection with the Okla
hogan project, the Tieton project and
other enterprises undertaken by the
government are fully described. A
special feature of the pamphlet is a
chapter devoted to irrigation in West
ern Washington.

JUDGE FINES AND SCORES
WINDOW GLASS COMBINE

Pittsburg, Nov. 12.-Fifteen officials
and directors of the Imperial Window
Glass Company pleaded nolle contendre
before Judge James S. Young in the
United States district court to VIOLA
ton of the Sherman antitrust act and
each was fined $500. At the same time
a fine of $4,000 was imposed upon the
corporation itself, with costs.
Dissolution of the combine by which
the government alleged monopoly in
hand-blown window glass had been es-
tablished and an increase in price from
so to 70 per cent effected, will follow
Immediately, was announced by attor-
neys for the company.
The Imperial Window Glass Com
pany was indicted by the federal grand
jury here in April with individual in
dictments against the officers and di-
rectors. Attorneys who addressed the
court in behalf of the defendants ar
gued that since there had been no in
tention on the part of the company to
violate the law the penalty should be
light.
The court severely scored the de-
PENDANTS.
you are not to draw the conclusion .
said Judge Young, from the fact that
these fines are light that there are not
such cases where Imprisonment should
be the penalty
The court had, it said, taken into
consideration that the indicted direc
tors had assisted the government ma
terially in its investigation and had
not prosecuted business after the de
murrer was dismissed in October.
