Columbus. Feb. 15.-The passage
yesterday of a bill by Representative
Fulton of Licking county aims to give
judges the right to certify that sub

cases despite errors of practice which
might be brought out. II provides
that no judgment shall be set aside,
reversed, or new trial ordered on
purely technical grounds unless the
error has substantially harmed the
rights of the appellant. Attorneys

evening. Dec. 21.

The anniversary of the landing of the
Pilgrims will be celebrated under the
auspices of the Middlebury Historical
society on the evening of December q,
at the Congregations church. 1t has
seemed fitting to those in charge that
the celebration should be of local
nature, the year 1911 being the 150th
since the granting of a charter to the
town of Middlebury. The address to
be given, therefore, in the audience
room of the church at five O'Clock will
deal with the New England colonial
history leading up to the charter grants
of 176l by Governor Benning Went
worth. The speaker will be Professor
A. d. Wetherell of the Department of
History, Middlebury College, whose
equipment for the adequate treatment
of such a theme is a guarantee of the
worth of his contribution. AS this will
be the only formal recognition this year
in Middlebury Of so notable an ami
versary. very cordial invitation is ex-
tended to the men and women of the
town Of Middlebury to be present and
join in the commemorative service.
At the close Of the address, the ladies'
of the Labaree society will serve the
annual Forefathers' supper in the
rooms below, and this will be followed
by the usual programme of music and
speaking. The tickets to the supper
will be fftV cents.

TheWhiteBlufs country
gWnter in Yakima "RepubIc" tells how the Upper
Valley is being Developed by Electric Power. y y

made In the last two years have
shown that the water in the wells
cannot be lowered perceptibly by
constant pumping. Last year the
cost OF lifting water with gasoline
for 10 and 20 acre orchards averaged
less than $3.50 per acre, which,
considering that the cost of the ma
chinery is small ana that the land
owner does not have to buy water
right, brings the expense of irriga-
ting land down to a figure not
much greater than the owners of
land under the gravity projects are
paying. ThePower companv's lines
are now being carried out in every
direction without cost to the con-
sumner OF current, and contracts
are being made at a rate which it
is said will displace the gasoline
engines.
The demonstration of practical
bility of irrigating from wells at
White Bluffs has already doubled
and trebled the value of the land,
and thousands of acres are chang
ing hands this year for immediate
development which only little
while ago nobody supposed would
be made productive for many years
to come.
This section of the country is
coming into productivity so rapidly
now that the Milwaukee and North
Coast roads are both preparing to
build through it this year and next
and by the time the new orchards,
of which there are several hundred
acres, come into bearing, it will
have adequate transportation facili-
ties.
The people who have moved into
that section are among the most
enthusiastic settlers to be found
anywhere in the Northwest. The
indications all lead people with ex-
perience in the development of irri-
gated districts to believe that their
faith and enthusiasm are fully JUS
tilted. The valley appears to be
one of amazing resources.
The White Bluffs country is some
thing like Is miles below Wen

its extent, fairly stagger the old

The Columbia river valleys are
attracting the attention of many
.homeseekers and investors, and
notable development work is being
done at several points. People OF
North Yakima are familiar with
what has been done in the neigh
borhood of Kennewick and Pasco
in the last two or three years. AT
the latter place Strahorn is putting
a good sized irrigation project on
the market. Fechter and Rudkin
Of this city have opened up the
high lands on this side Of the river,
and several thousand acres of the
finest kind of land are being re-
claimed and developed. The Ken
uewick Highlands proposition was
made possible by the application OF
power for irrigation purposes, and
is probably the most notable project
Of that kind in the Northwest. How
ever. it has rival in the Columbia
basin where things will probably
be done on gigantic scale in the
next few years.
From Priest Rapids down past
the foot of the Rattlesnakes is one
Of the finest bodies of desert land
in the United States. The develop
ment of power plants and extern
sion lines into that country, which
is in itself one of the largest under
takings in this immediate neighbor-
hood, will eventually result in the
transformation of a body of land,
now barren and unproductive but
surprisingly rich when supplied
with water, into one of the richest
irrigated districts in the world.
The attempt to develop power in
the Columbia river was first made
with a view to pumping water into
the Hanford ditch. A late dis
eovery will undoubtedly result in
pumping systems of another kind
that will bring about the reclama-
ton of as much land along the Col
umbia we have under water in
the Yakima valley. It has been
found that lands in the neighbor-
hood OF White Bluffs are underlaid
with an almost inexaustible supply
Of water on the river level. There
are from 100, 900 to $50, 900 acres
Of these lands where water can be
reached by means of wells from 80
to 200 feet in depth.
In the vicinity of White Bluffs
are now so or 100 wells from which
water is taken by pumps driven by
