MILLIONS FOR IRRIGATION
Water to Be Turned on SOC, 900 Acres
in Washington County.

The Klickitat Irrigation company
has secured six million dollars with
which to irrigate that large area
of land in the Horse Heaven dis
trict, Benton county, Washington.
The North Yakima, Washington,
morning Herald says the land to be
watered by this project covers $780,
600 acres of the very best land In
this section of the country, and
runs east from range 20 to the Co
lumbia river and to point about
two miles from PrOsser-direct1y
over the brow OF the hills. The plan
takes in several storage waters
along the Glade canon.
The finest land in the entire acre
age lies i'm Benton county, and as we
come i'm for the irrigation of six
teen townships, we have reason to
rejoice.
In the survey, Yakima county will

HOLDING BIG MEETINGS
Evangelistic Services at the Metho

During this week. and for the next
two or three weeks, there will be
evangelistic meetings at the Cente-

1870 each evening. Mrs. Dimsdalo
Aikenhead, an evangelist from Tor
onto, Canada, is at the helm. Her
husband, Rev. Aikenhead, is also
present, and. with DR.. and Mrs. w.

that live meetings are being held.
Mrs. Aikenhead is sister of Mrs.

many years has been conducting SER
vices which have had for their aim
the increasing of the family of the
Lord Jesus Christ. Her ability,
coupled with her earnestness, gives
the meetings power which can
not help but reach the hearts of all
who hear her. Each service is pre-
coded by about fifteen minutes of
song, in which every one is invited
to join. An earnest invitation to at

SALTWATER is SATISFIED
Sunday Closing of Postoffice Is All
Right With Them.

Saltwater Gazette: Yesterday was
the first Sunday the pOstoffice was
closed under the new order from
Washington, and the carriers win
dOws were not opened. The general
delivery window was open an hour
and but few transients called for
their mail. 1t was a stormy day,
however, and possibly that made a
difference with the number who
drifted into the postoffice. But one
person asked the general delivery
clerk to hunt through the mail to see
if there was letter for him, but
the request was denied. 1t is very
evident that the public is perfectly
satisfied and acquiesces in the prop
isition to give the carriers one day
in the week.

pected action by the Legislature on
the Mackenzie bill abolishing CAPT,

hart says he will not fix the date of
execution in the case of two first
degree murder cases now before
him. He says he is opposed to CAPT.

Shortly after the receipt of the
transcript OF the case, word was re.

preparing to appeal to the supreme
court. Advantage of this was taken
and Rosie is still in the land of the

WILL NOT LOSE EYESIGHT
Reports Concerning Justice Jaggard
Have Been Exaggerated.


st. Paul Dispatch: From authori-
tative sources this morning came the
denial that there is danger that JUS
tice Edwin A. Jaggard of the Min
nesota supreme court will lose his
eyesight as the result of his recent
attack Of ptomaine poisoning.
The justice has gone on a trip to
Bermuda, and it was reported at the
state capitol yesterday that his eye
sight had failed suddenly and that
he was in grave danger of losing it
altogether. Although he has been
advised by his physician to give
his eyes a rest, it was said this
morning that there is no danger
whatever that his sight will be per-
manently affected and he is expected
to resume his duties on the SUI
preme bench after his vacation.

Contests.
You know that you can depend on
the Bulletin contest and you
probably have considered the matter
to your own satisfaction.
If you have gone over these things
and given them proper consideration
we don't need to keep writing about
them
Then let's get down to business
vance?
You ought to map out your cam
paign for every day.
You are really in Il battlc-a battle
for votes, but battle nevertheless.
You must know what you are 60
ing to do before you start out to do il.
A half an hour spent in the even
ing thinking out what you will do the
next day will save hours for you.
Don't run away froE ,IOmc hapha2-
ard and call on Mrs anith and then
90 a half mile to sec Mrs. Jones and
stop an hour on the way to talk over
ncighborhood matters.
The best way to get at it is to take
street on which you know several
people.
How 10 Plan Campaign.
Allow yourself SO much time to take
in certain distance on the street
allowing enough time so that you
won't feel hurried
But begin at the beginning of The
street, whether you know the peopl,
in the first house or not.
In other words, Peterborough. Conf
the territory you are working with
! ine-tooth comb.
Mix in strangers with your friends
in canvassing, and 1t is safe to sa!
that you will get good many sub
scriptions among the strangers.
The calls on your friends will b,
u relief after you have been TALKING
to strangers, and your work will b.
mixed and much more pleasant.
And don't make the mistake of as
suming that one house is good 70
only one subscription.
Perhaps there is lodger who goe
to work early in the morning an,
can not take the family paper witt
him to read on the car.
Perhaps the lodges makes prac
tice of buying paper every morning

There are not many more days left
to get votes and subscriptions for the

There Is lively hustle among the
contestants to be at the top Of the

mcntary prizes.
And these supplementary prizes are
nothing but bonuses for the leaders in
the race for the big trips.
Besides getting u prize, everybody
wants to head the first list, because
it will mean much to be well up to-
ward the top in the list
Show the friends who have been
helping you that they are helping the

Show Your Friends You Can Win.
They will be glad to see that you
are going to get one of the big trips,
and they will be pleased If you win

with in the April list
| Nominations are coming in every
day, and they are being sent by peo-
pie who are determined to win.

started earlier, and April 10 will tell
the story.
From the way the late contestants
are working it appears that many Of
the leaders will be men and womer
who have Joined the contest in tn,
last few days.
1t isn't so much a question of time
after all. 1t is II matter of hustle
If you have the determination tC
