per acre, the Okanogan project at
an expense of about SIS per acre,
and the Klickitat canal project at
500 per acre.
1t may be added that the stor-
age facilities ct the head of the
Yakima river are limited, and that
there are large bodies of lands
along the lower Yakima for which
water is being demanded as, for
instance, in the Benton Unit there
are estimated to be $50, 900 acres,
in the Wapato Unit 1l6, 900 acres,
and large additional amounts under
the Sunnyside Unit, besides the
high lands lying below this valley
in upper Yakima county. 1t is
apparent, therefore, that if this
opportunity to acquire this storage
is allowed to pass that it will not
occur again this generation, and
the people of this county will be
forced to see the water pass down
the river for the benefit of other
sections. The whole matter is
one for the calm dispassionate
business judgment of the COM
munity interested, 1t would APP
pear that the whole matter is
squarely before the people of this
community and it is within their
power to accept or reject it as their
judgement dictates,
I wish to add further that too
much credit cannot be given sena-
tor w. L. Jones for the able and
active interest which he has dis
played in urging this project upon
the favorable consideration of the
Reclamation service and the secre-
tary of the Interior. He volun.
tarily pledged himself to the support
of this plan and his efforts directly
led to its favorable consideration
at Washington. Whatever the
people of Kittitas desire in this
matter he has stated that he stands
ready to aid to the utmost of his
ability.

Washington, d. c., June "a
Speaker Champ Clark issued defy
to the administration today on
learning of the republicans that
President Taft proposed to veto any
general tariff legislation at the ex-
ira session of congress. The
speaker in a formal statement de-
clared that the whole tariff ought
to be revised and that the demo-
cratic party would rest its case
with the country. The tariff
ought to be revised from top to
bottom said Clark. The people
of the land so decided last Novem

The public decided that it is best
to revise it schedule by schedule.
We have made start on that plan.
We will continue as we have be-

country and it will sustain us.

TAXES ARE LOW
IN OLD K|TT|TAS

The secretary of the state tax
commission. E. J. Koor, has
compiled statistics which show
that exclusive of the taxes paid by
railroads during the year 1910
there was collected S25,S84, 948. AZ
in taxes which is an average for
each person in the state of $2O.92.
The figures also show that in Kit
titas county the average is but
S12.94, which is considerable be-
low the average for the state. The
amount oil taxes exclusive of rail-
roads, levied for all purposes upon
all real and personal property,
amounts to the sum of 1929, O7o.O3

C. B. Haynes, general immigra-

railroad was in the city Saturday
on business with the Chamber of
Commerce. He said: If Ellensburg
people will furnish us with the
fruit in good shape, the company
will prepare it properly for display
in the New York land show next
December, and in view of this mag
ni6cent offer on the part of the
Company, the Chamber of Com
merce should bestir itself in pro-
curing only the best and finest
specimens, as Kittitas in this con-
test will be going up against the
finest fruits produced in the world.

How widespread is the progressive

1T does not require any great imag-

is not mere question of policy II is
a question Of the Encouragement OF the
public interests as you touch every
household in this country. and how
any man in such circumstances can
hold his head up after he has voted tor

ception Of the common interests for
one cannot comprehend.
But whether men can comprehend
1t or not, help it or not. we all know
that the mills Of the gods grind slow

Judge Carroll B Graves today in
~ interview with The Dawn's re-

..rrction of the highlin canal and
the acquiring of water therefor from
the government through the agency
Of aud irrigation district:
II am authorized by the COM
mittee in charge of this matter to
state for publication the coalition of
this undertaking and what has been
done, so that the community inter-
ested may be fully advised as to
the steps taken and the progress
made.
AT mass meeting held in this
dty April IS, 1911, w. w. Robin
son, P. H. Schnebly, Thos. Haley,
PHI. Adams, and c. w. Johnsone
we're appointed as a committee to
take all preliminary action for the
creation of an irrigation dis
uict and the acquiring of water
supply. The committee determin-
ID that it was advisable to organize
an irrigation district comprising all
the lands that should be irrigated
BY the highline canal, estimated at
10000 acres, and to designate
such district as the Kittitas Recla-
nation District; and to apply to
the Secretary of the Interior for
sufficient excess water from the
Yakima river and storage water be-
ing impounded by the government
10 irrigate the lands within this dis
tict, the district to pay for such
storage water the charge provided
bylaw, and to build all canals at
its own cost.
The act of congress of Feb. p,
1911, commonly known as the War
rem act, authorized the Secretary of
the Interior to make such contracts
With an irrigation district, and the
laws Of this state amply provide for
the creation of such a district,
and for the distribution of the &C
CURED water, ratably, to the land
within the district.
The committee at once made
APPLICATION to the Secretary of the
Interior through the Reclama ton
Service for the water supply above
'efrred to. The supervising en-
pneer Of the Reclamation Service
bfwarded such application to the
Director at Washington for presen-
mon to the Secretary of the Inte-
nor. The committee had no au-
moflty to enter into a contract with
me Secretary, but only sought Of
ecial assurance that the water sup
Ply could be had in case an irriga-
uon district was created. and the
secretary recognized that con-
uact could be made only with the
authf rized officers of such agency
uter its organization, and that it
would be idle for such a district to
@created unless the government
was willing to furnish the water
supply. After a conference with,
aud a hearing by the Reclamation
's1vlce, the application of the COM
~'1tee was presented to the Score
uiy with the recommendation of
@e Director, and the Secretary has
Ssued to the committee an official

WILL TEST TOBACCO
GROWING NEXT YEAR

Tobacco culture on large scale
will be attempted in the vicinity of
Kennewick. A man who has had
considerable experience in this
form of soil culture in Kentucky
expects to transplant the weed"
to the Northwest. Investigations
made for some time past lead to
the belief that a high grade leaf
tobacco can be produced. A colony
of negroes will be brought from
the South to tend the plants. If
this plant can be added to the pos
sibilities, it will be another import
ant source of revenue. Wild to-
tobacco is already found here
abouts.
