WAFER NOW FLOWING IN lucLt CANAL
Water Delivered to Users on South Side OF
Wenatchee River This Week

Superintendent OF Construction Hor-
ton said to reporter for this paper that
water is now flowing through the Icicle
canal to the users on the south side OF
the Wenatchee river. On account OF
the heavy pressure, which is l4o
pounds to the square inch in the pipes
through which the water is conveyed
across the river, some difficulty was en-
countered but this has been overcome
and every leak stopped.
The ditch will be extended to lands
in the vicinity OF Monitor, within seven
miles OF Wenatchee, but will water a
large body Of land between Monitor and
this place. Extending the line to the
objective point will be pushed with
vigor. The ditch is about twenty-one
miles long.

Amendment to Publicity Bill

Senator jones's proposed amendment
to the publicity bill provides: Each
candidate for representative in congress
shall, on the day of election, sign and
swear to a statement that he has not,
in connection with his candidacy for
nomination and election, promised di-
rectly or indirectly, either before his
nomination OF prior TO the making Of
such affidavit, to appoint or recommend
for appointment any person to any po-
sition Of trust or confidence, and on
said date deposit same in the United
States postoffice, postage paid, addressed
to the clerk of the house Of representa-
tives, Washington, D. c."

be ample and the storage capacity
sufficient.
A letter from Joseph Jacobs, con-
sulting engineer, was read, Mr.. Jacobs
stated that there was enough water to
irrigate 475,0O0 acres.
"A gravity water supply from the
source is the only one that promises
reclamation of the entire Quincy valley
within a reasonable limit OF cost" said
the report, and such project is en-
tirely feasible and project of unusual
merit.
Although the magnitude Of the
project and its great total cost initiate
against its being readily financed, l
have absolute confidence in its ultimate
attainment. If Washington hopes to
progress agriculturally, and particularly
by irrigation, it must at very early
day attack some Of its larger projects,
else it will reach the end of its agricul-
tural development and will see such
development confined to those states
and localities, which have the foresight
and courage to undertake the larger
schemes.
Il regard the climatic and soil con-
ditions of the Quiccy valley as being
as favorable for general fruit culture and
diversified farming as either the Yakima
or Wenatchee districts.
THE Quincy Water Users Associa-
ton has decided to assess each land
owner $5 per quarter section to keep
the engineer in the field and 10 do the
required work to hold the Wenatchee
water right and put it in the proper
condition for irrigation"
While the building of dam such as
is outlined above would food large
and valuable body of land it would
render other lands productive and
while under construction, which would
probably not be less than eight years,
from three to four million dollars would
be expended within twelve miles OF
Leavenworth, with this as the base Of
supplies. The building OF the dam
and canal would create such demand
for cement that it would inevitably lead
to the building of cement plant in
this vicinity. An inexhaustible body
of stone, theoretically pure in lime,
with the other material necessary TO
the making of cement, in close prox-
unity, will prove to be such an inviting
opening for the investment OF capital
that a cement plant will inevitably
follow.
The Quincy Valley Water Users
association last week placed filing on
record with the Chelan county auditor
covering eleven thousand cubic feet OF
water per second OF the Wenatchee
river to be used on land in the Quincy

Well, the baseball season is about
over. Next Sunday the Champs will
play in Cashmere and it is thought
that it will be the last game OF the
season, unless the team makes tour

this being done, and with our present
team we should be able to grab most
of the games. We will probably be
able to announce this by the next issue
of this paper.

NORTHWEST NEWS LETTER
To Establish Navy Coal Reserve in Alaska
Entitled to Government Mint
Seattle, July II, 1911.

The government now proposes to es-
tablish a navy coal reserve in Alaska to
serve as fuel base for naval purposes
on the Pacific Coast. This is the latest
development in the Northern situation
and indicates that Uncle Sam intends
to get the good out of his coal deposits
even if the people OF Alaska and the
Pacific Northwest are compelled to
wait. The Copper River & Northwest
ern railway has already announced that
the moment the Northern coal lands
are opened for development that COM
pany is ready to extend its tracks in
land more than hundred miles to
assist in bringing the product to tide
water. But there is no intimation when
this improvement can start. Secretary
OF the Interior Fisher is expected on
the coast soon, when something may
be learned.

the law creating the state bureau of in

Tax Commissioner D. T. RockwelPs S
opinion Of the press OF Washington is
not very high, according to his Inde-
pendence Day oration, at Olympia.
In this state there are great many
newspapers" he said. = A few of them
can not be purchased at any price; but
the remainder and the majority can be
bought by any man that has the price.
Mr.. Rockwell may or may not be right.
But one thing is sure-he'll have to do
a lot of explaining. He has been cred
tied with gubernatorial aspirations. 1t
is safe to say that the editors will make
a mental note of what he said with re-
gard to their profession.

That the Pacific Northwest is entitled
to a government mint is the contention
of Seattle's business men. The banks
OF this part Of the country need more
small coins for business, but the money
can't be shipped because the transporta-
ton appropriation for this year has been
exhausted. AS Alaska and the North
west produces the precious metals
needed for coinage, it is urged that as
a matter OF economy, the money Tor
local use might be minted right here.
There has been some talk OF removing
the assay Office from Seattle; but that
talk stirred up the people and now they
are working for a mint in conjunction
with the assay department. The Wash
ington delegation in Congress is hot on
the trail, according to the latest reports.
