ADDITIONAL ACREAGE WILL
BE PUT UNDER IRRIGATION
Power Development Work in
Kickitat Is in Anticipation of
Construction of Reservation
Line to Coldendale

Engineers for the Northern Pacific
Railway are to be sent into the lower
valley with in the next month to pur-
sue their Investigations regarding the
engineering side of the old Lead
better irrigation project. Engineers
of the railroad company have already
been over the ground and have maze
their report The fact that they are
sent out again to continue their in
designations means, at least, in the
opinion of those who have given the
matter thought, that the first report
is satisfactory and that the railway
company is prepared to so further.
1t is understood that the work to
be taken up next month by the en-
gbneers viii have as one of its OBJ
jects the carrying of the ditch sur
vey further back on the hills and
considerably above the old survey.
Such a route, it is reported, will
place 10000 acres of land under ir-
rigation or rather within reach of ir-
rigation and will give to the company
an immense area of cheap land which
can be placed on the market for
home builders in competition with
the cheap lands offered in other sec
tions not along the route of tho
Northern Pacific.
Columbia Slope Project
The water, it is understood, will
be carried across the divide so as to
make available for development
considerable acreage on the Column
bia slope which is now lying idle and
which cannot be irrigated from the
Columbia.
Engineers have been working Cor
some months for the Northern Pa
cifc Railway making surveys for
power development in the Klckitat
country and on that slope to the
Columbia. This, it is understood, Is
in connection with railway develop
ment expected within the next couple
of years in the way of extension of
the line on the reservation from Top
pensh to White Swan and which, in
time, is to be continued through tho
Goldendale country.
Working i'm Kittitas
Engineers are also at work for the
railway in Kttitas where one of the
pieces of construction will be the
building of the "cut-off" from Ritz
Vile, the route of which will be mod
flied for time, 1t is understood, be-
cause of the fact that the Northern
Pacific will use the Milwaukee rail-
way bridge at Beverly until it is i'm
der the necessity, later, of making its
own crossing of the river
Work of the railway in the Yak
ina valley is to be undertaken for
another season, according to present
reports, is the continuation of the
present Yakima Grandview line
through to Gibbon or some other
connection with the main line in that
neighborhood and the routing Of
trains in large part by that side of
the river.

The Campaign of 1913

The superficial resemblance be-
tween the campaigns of 1S4S and
1912 have not escaped comment, but
for those who are eagerly searching
for some preliminary basis for pro-
phecy there is in the election returns
for the earlier year interesting If not
conclusive evidence, supplying an
example of the fashion in which a
party vote was divided over an issue
which was in part at least personal.
The split in the Democratic party in
1S48 had a twofold character. In
this state the Free Soil movement
drew alike from the democrats who
were already opposed to the domi-
nation of the party by the Southern
Shareholders as a matter of principle
and far more numerous element
who felt that the rejection of Van
Buren, in the convention Of 1914, In
which he had a majority of delegates,
was a personal injury to leader
whom they admired and an injury
they were prepared to avenge.
Thus in 1S4S, as in 1912, the con-
duct of a party convention and the
personal grievance of party leader,
Joined with a more or less consider
able popular unrest against existing
conditions, produced a split In the
ranks of the party which had been
victorious in 1914. The following Ia
BILE shows the comparative vote of
the two parties In 1914 and the three
in 1913:

9S,093, Van Buren, led the regular
candidate of his former party %
6192, and Cass and Van Buren, to-
gether polled 1926 more votes than
the Wing candidate who was elected,
and that the Whig candidate polled
1879 fewer votes than Henry Clay
obtained in 1874 This 6 per cent
possibly represented the Wings who
went to the Free Soil party on the
Free Soil issue
Should the Republican party be d.
vided in its poll as the Democratic

be this year as follows: Wilson ST.
400, Roosevelt 443,700, Taft 10000,
using the figures of 1908 as a basis
of reckoning. Wilson would thus be
a minority selection, but his plurality
over Roosevelt would be $4,000.
