COW|CHE POTATOES
USED TO ADVERTISE
Teton Improvement Association
Makes a Remarkable Showing
to George Donald

Five sacks of Cowiche potatoes, four
for President Howard Elliott of the
Northern Pacific railway and one for
himself, were last week presented to
President George Donald of the North
Yakima and Valley railway by mem
Der of the Tieton Improvement asso-
citation. Accompanying the gift was a
letter from the association in which
were pointed out some salient facts
with reference to the district covered
by the association, and the suggestion
was made that the proposed extension
of the Valley railway be carried some
three and a half miles beyond the
present terminus proposed. The let
ter, in behalf of 1875 members of the
association was signed by H. L. SOM
merville, G. G. Hoofnogle, j. j. Mac
Donald, VIM. Hatten, Thomas j. Dom
nelly and William Potter ...
In the sacks of potatoes presented to
Mr.. Donald were 1856 potatoes with
a combined weight of Bio pounds
Three of the sacks contained 65 spuds
each and the other two contained 70
each. The donors, in their letter to
Mr.. Donald, pointed out that as high
as 26.4 tons to the acre in potatoes
had been obtained in some sections,
that corn had yielded as high as 90
bushels, that onions exceeding two
pounds in weight were numerous, that
spuds which weighed four and four
and a half pounds had been found IN
several instances, that Hubbard squash
had grown to weigh So pounds, and
that hay oats and the various other
crops had done proportonately we'll.
| The new orchards are growing splen-
didly and the older orchards, which
have been neglected year after year,
which frequently have not had suffi-
cient water and in other ways have
| had Il hard life, have begun within
the past two years to be producers un-
der the increased water supply of the
Teton.
The Tieton postoffice, which two
years ago had no existence, is today
serving in excess of 100 families and
in every way the district is an ideal
one. All these facts and others were
presented to Mr.. Donald, along with
the potatoes, for his consideration.

Desert Proofs Indicate the Increas-
ing Popularity of the Well
and Pump
LAND AND WATER INCREASE
IN VALUE EACH SEASON
Methods of Irrigation Are Being
Practiced With Success Which
But a Short Time Ago Were
Not Feasible

That the individual irrigation plant
is growing in popularity and also that
land and water are increasing in value
is clearly shown by the records of the
Yakima. Within the past year and a
half proofs submitted on desert lands
many of which proofs have gone to
patent, have shown the increasing pip
ularity of the separate or individual
pumping system. In the Mckee, in the
lower Yakima and in the Columbia
river sections of the territory within
the jurisdiction of the land office the
deep or shallow wells with gasoline
or electric power have been used in a
number Of cases. Now that electric
power has been carried back and forth
across this portion of the state In such
manner as to bring 1t within the reach
of hundreds and thousands Of ranch
ers that power is the most favored.
Private Pumping Systems
. 1t is probable that within the past
year and half there has been an ag-
gregate, in the land office, of 1000
acres which have been reclaimed by
reason of the private pumping system
That this meets the approval of the
government is demonstrated by the fact
that in many instances the patents
have issued and more are coming from
time to time. 1t is even stated that
under the Tieton irrigation system
some of the land which was not signed
up for the water is to be watered by
means of driven wells and local power
OF some kind. A visitor to the city a
few days ago from the Columbia river
lands which are under the Hanford
ditch said that some of the ranchers
there have actually abandoned the
ditch and taken to wells and electric
power as being preferable in that they
offer an Independent system.
New Methods Prevail
Each year sees development reach
ing out to lands and sections which
previously We're not considered worthy
of attention and each year also proves
that systems of reclamation which
were once considered to be too expen-
sive, have arrived; in other words, that
the development of the state is making
valuable areas and system which prev
iously were not possible because OF
the attendant conditions. In no way
have the conditions changed more than
along the lines which make not only
possible but desirable the individual
! irrigation system. The Herald has
hitherto pointed out in the form of an
interview with r. ]. Logan, the inn
mense developme nt, under the power
and we'll sVstem in the MoyeeH The
desert land proofs based on similar
system adopted for lands lying beyond
the reach of present irrigation canals

this direction.

Quite a Change

Prior to the building of the Sun
nyside branch transportation facili-
ties were of such character as to
warrant the use of swear words in
plenteous profusion by those who
wished to ship their farm produce.
At that time it was necessary to
haul alfalfa, on the Northern Pa
cific main line, which was quite a
burden and expense las the public
highways were not in the best of
shape. That situation has been
changed to quite degree and
Granger is inclined to congratulate
herself upon the excellence of her
transportation facilities, and that with
solid reason.
