alfalfa PROJECT
CHANGES HANDS
Grinnells of Spokane Purchase Entire
Holdings for Price Said to
be S25O.OOO

Following weeks of negotiation,
Fred B. Grinnell, one of the largest
real estate operators in the Inland
Empire, Tuesday confirmed the
purchase of the Alfalfa Irrigation
project in Walla Walla county by the
Alfalfa Land company, the new
| holding company of which he and
his nephew, Robert Grinnell, are
the heads. The entire holdings of
the former owners, Loose & Bassett
of Spokane, were included in the
deal, the consideration which has
been given out is $25O,OOO.
According to the Walla Walla
papers, plans for the future manage
ment of the holding company are
now being worked out by Robert
Grinnell, president, who will give
his attention to the project, altho a
capable irr1gationist and manager
will be placed in charge later.
Plans for promoting the sale of the
project will not be completed for
several weeks, when a big campaign
will be launched to give the Alfalfa
district worthy publicity.
It has been said that the Grin
nell company was simply represent
ing the Pacific Power & Light COM
pany in the deal, and that the cleo
trio company was planning to buy
all land possible in that district for
speculation, developing same with
their many power facilities, but
this was denied by Mr.. Grinnell
although he intimated that he
might sell the project in bulk in
the near future, the deal being
purely one of speculation.
J. D. Bassett, one of the former
principal owners, also stated Tues
day that the sale was under way
but that final papers had not been
signed. It is understood that the
acquisition ofthe land alone amour
ted to 100000.
The Alfalfa project lies in extreme
western point of the country between
the Columbia and Snake Rivers.
The soil is very light and sandy,
but it has already been demonstra-
ted that with plenty of water for
irrigation purposes it could be made
into valuable land for agricultural
purposes. Many settlers have al
ready taken up land there and have
already gone a long way towards
changing the entire topography of
the county. Scores of green spots
are noticeable all over the district,
the result of irrigation. The new
company intends installing electric
pumps with power supplied from
the new high transmission line run
ming out of Pasco and furnish
ing all the water necessary to irrigate
the entire project, believing that it
can be made into one of the best
irrigated land farming districts in
the west.
The possibility of an electric line
through the region from Walla
Walla is also alluring to the present
owners.

Missouri State Fair

The Missouri State Fair will
open this year, September &c
with every exhibit in place and
all details arranged beforehand.
President William II. Taft has
accepted the invitation Of the
Directors Of the Missouri State
Fair to attend the 1911 Exhibi.
ton and he has stated that he
will be there Saturday, the open
ing day, and il is predicted that
this will be the greatest day in
the history Of the Missouri State
Fair. II is the first time that a
president Of the United States
has ever visited the Missouri
State Fair and its friends are
proud Of the fact that the Presi-
dent has recognized the State
Fair as a great educational in.
stitution and will honor Il by his
presence. He will make one OF
the principle addresses at the
Fair that will be made on his
western trip. This will afford a
a splendid opportunity for the
visitors at the Fair to hear and
see the President Of the United
States.
The address will be made in
the Live Stock Show Pavilion.
which seats 10000 people and he
can be heard in every part Of the
building.
While in some sections Of the
State the crops are not the best
this year. yet the exhibits at the
Fair promise to be better than
ever. Farmers in all sections OF
the State, especially in those sec
tions where crops are the best.
are preparing exhibits to send to
The State Fair.
Live stock entries are fine and
he amusement programme ar
-anged for by the Board Of
Directors is the very best. Edu.
,ational features will be strong
md Il can safely be said that
here will be 900 acres Of educa-
don and amusement at the State
Fair. September 30 to October 6.

curious store of material contain
ed in the "Horseman's Library"
they are not greatly to be cen

books, wherein are recorded the
names and pedigrees of finely

ances innocent of all literary
interest, even of the curious
kind. On a rainy day, with
nothing else resembling a book
in sight, one picks up one Of
these unlikely tones just because
il is book. One glances over
the pages Of names and is per-
haps bewildered by the intrica-
cies oJ horse genealogy. Quite
Unexpectedly one lights on. a

admirers among horseman, for
as one turns the pages of the

pear such names as Rasselas,
Irene. Imlac and Pecnah. Lotiair,

of literature as the title of Dis
raeli's political novel. Voltaire,
2:20 Ia, was doubtless named
by an admirer of the great OPP
ponent Of oppression, intolerance
and bigotry, and many horses
were named after the characters
in Voltaire's Zadig.
Henry Fielding had many
friends among the horsemen.
Fielding's Tom Jones" is one
of the enduring masterpieces of

and human nature itself. We
have, accordingly, Tom Jones,
