which will eventually give 10000 acre
feet. There is enough water there to re-
deem half million acres and there are
four or five schemes planned for the
Yakima valley alone. There are excellent
orchard lands on nearly all OF the
projects and the men who have taken mp
holdings are rapidly growing in wealth.
Engineer Blanchard of the reclamation
service tells me Of q man named Silver
who planted ten acres of orchard near
Yakima about six years ago. He netted
ST" last year from his fruit and the
vegetables which he raised between the
rows. In the same region j. .. Shadbolt,
a dry goods merchant from Montana,
made $4,000 from the fruit raised on
forty-one acres In 1907 the same or
chard yielded Il gross of S2a.ap and a net
Of o0.ooD. and in the three years which
the man has been fruit raising he has
netted S:9.hn, or more than $1,000 =
year. -
The government reports that fun bear
ing orchards produce crops Of from $500
to 81 900 per acre and that $500 Is less
than the average if the trees are well
kept. The lands that have been redeemed
there are being largely planted to fruit.
and millions of trees have been set out
in the valley during the last season or so.
Robert Mccormick, who was a lumber
man in Minnesota, came to this valley
ten years ago with - cents in his pocket.
He worked for a time a teamSter, and
with his savings made his first payment
on twenty-five acres of the government
project. The land was then covered with
sage brush. Today 1t is all in crops and
Is paying him 5000 a year above all his
expenses. Last tall he picked seven or
eight hundred boxes of apples from Il
little over an acre. making yield OF
about $500 for that amount of ground. y
Wisconsin man the same year sold S3.1tD
worth of apples from nine acres of trees.
Here are some letters from Huntley,
Mont, where the irrigation projects en-
brace a total of 2aD90 acres. They are
not all completed. but the water has been
put on large tracts, and several good
sized towns have gone up. This IS a land

beet factory has been recently established
near Huntley, and the farmers are rais-
ing beets, getting fourteen tons to the
acre, which they sell for 50 ton. They
can grow 800 bushels of onions or 80
bushels of potatoes on almost any part
of the government lands, and there Is an
instance of one farmer who grew $50

But the best Of all reasons Is that to

do not want peace. They do not want
peace because they are the servants of
much more powerful masters. whose in

These are good men, being Albani>

the Albanian Mirdits. who are Catho

who are Moslems in their affection for
bloodshed and rapfne, which they
carry almost to vfrtuosity. They are
