INDIAN FEAST WAS
GIVEN LAST SUNDAY
Annual Event of Indians of the
Yakima Reservation Held at
Billy Captains Home

The feast of berries was celebrated
by the Indians of the Yakima reser-
walton sunday at the home of Billy
Captain, two miles southeast of Top
penish. The feast of berries is some
what similar and along the same lines
as the feast of fish. Prior to these
Indian feasts the aborigines do not
eat anything pertaining thereto. Thus
there are no fish caught or used prior
to the feast of salmon. Same thing
holds good in regard to the feast Oh
berries. Chokeberries are now ripen-
ing in the lower country on the reser-
walton, while higher up in the hills
the huckleberries are commencing to
turn to the proper color.
These feasts are very religious in
character, and are participated IN
only by the Indians who have not be-
come members of some of the Chris
tian denominations.
There We're present Sunday about
200 Indians. Billy Captain being mas
ter OF ceremonies and presiding at
the feast. The bill of fare was In
dian grub. First thing on the pro-
gram was the serving of pure water.
and the same delicacy closed the ban
quet, Other good things on the bill
of fare were dried salmon and roots
and berries. The Indians remained at
the table about three hours. The
music furnished was of two kinds.
from pompoms and from bell. The
former musical Instruments we're ma
nipulated by Indians to the number
of live, while Billy Captain had a bell
which he rang almost necessarily, the
ringing thereof being signals known
only to the initiated. Pompoms are
drums with only one head. more like
tambourines. Upon that drum head
each Indian beats with a stick. The
effect is noisy,
The only white man present at the
feast sunday was L. V. McWhorter
Of this city, an adopted Indian of the
Yakimas.

IRRIGATION FAILURES
IN THE SOUTHWEST
No Great Activity in Projects
Owing to Fact Some Promo
tons Have Fell Through

For the past few years there has
been little or no advancement
along the line of new irrigation works
in New Mexico. The principal reason
for this is that those of any magnitude
constructed in the past have not been
financial successes. There are many
causes for these failures, and while a
great many of the drawbacks could be
removed others would still prove to
be stumbling blocks in the way OF
success for new enterprises, owing to
existing conditions over which indi-
viduals or corporations have no con-
troll.
During the greater activity in irri-
CATION enterprises of ten to fifteen
years ago, many schemes such as are
usually termed wild cat" were floated,
and were necessarily failures. Others
with legitimate ends in view came to
the same end by acknowledgement. A
lack of knowledge of cost of con-
| struction and maintenance, of the
water supply, of the duty of water,
and of the kind of crops adapted to
| the climate and soil We're factors
/ leading to the downfall of these enter
prises.
All of the aforementioned reasons
for failure could now be avoided.
The experience of both the engineer
and farmer have taught the method
and means of avoiding the mistakes
of few years ago. But one of the
great reasons for so many failures
was lack of immediate financial re-
turns with which to meet current eX-
penses and interest on bonds. Nearly
all managers had calculated that with
the completion of the construction
work the lands they were to water
would all be taken and farmed and a
large revenue would be forthcoming
from the water rentals. In few, if
any, cases were such results realized
Settlers We're few, and even these few
We're Inexperienced in farming by ir-
rigation and often made failures and
therefore were unable to pay for the
water used.
Many companies advertised extern
sively and extensively for the purpose
of obtaining settlers, and often made
contracts under which they were to
be compensated from returns from
the land More failures followed, and
as Il result the companies NSic uiItplS
to meet running expenses, and bank
ruptcy followed. Many of the enter
prises would ultimately have been
successful il they could have met the
financial strain for a few years.
Capital became discouraged, and
for several years nothing was done
toward extending irrgati ton works eN-
cept of the smaller kind, requiring
but little capital.

LOGGED-OFF LANDS
SROEMAkER'S HOBBY
Clearing and Development of g.
500, 900 Acres of Timber Land
in Western Washington

The following extracts from sun
set Magazine refer to Joel Shoemak-
er, formerly resident of North
Yakima:
Mr.. Shoemaker spoke first of the
subject uppermost in his mind. 1t
was he who initiated the question of
the clearing and development of O.
100000 acres of timber in western
Washington; and in 1898 the Wash
ington Logged-Oh Land Association
was formed and elected him first
president
Logged off lands are those from
which all merchantable timber has
been removed. They appear either
as a wilderness of fallen logs, brush
and small trees. or cemetery Of
stumps. The problem of getting these
lands under subsection is attracting
the attention of thinking citizens.
At the recent meeting of the South
western Washington Improvement
Association at Chehalis there were
physical demonstrations of different
methods of clearing logged-off lands:
the Great Northern Railway will show
all over the world in its ten-thou-
sand-foot moving picture film of the
West the story of the logged off
lands from the forest to the orchard
or field of grain; and the agitation is
being taken up all along the line,
