Market

This farm which consists OF 1874
acres is in Palo Alto county, and lies
just one-half mile from small rail-
road town, with bank, three elevators,
school, creamery, lumber yard, etc.

lent crops, is unusually prosperous,

vancing very rapidly. According to
the government census report, the

more than doubled between 1900 and
1910, and at the present time the value
of the better class of improved farms
close to town, to which this farm be-
longs, is from 500 up, some of them
being held considerably higher than
this.
This farm is in splendid neighbor-
hood of mixed nationalities. It is
surrounded by good, well improved
farms. 1t is rich black loan, con-
tanning small amount of sand, which
makes it q warm, quic6 growing soil,
and very productive.
1t is beautiful farm, smooth, and
nearly level, but with just slope

Government to Acquire Existing Can
al at Oregon City.
Washington, D. C.-From recent
conference he has had with the army
engineers, Representative Hawley
feels confident that the government
will soon acquire title to the West
side canal at Oregon City and begin
promptly the reconstruction contem-
plated and authorized by congress.
Ever since his return to Washington
in December, Mr.. Hawley has been
urging the department to edo some
thing" and to take up that project
which will be the cheapest and most
efficient and which can be completed
in the shortest time. The engineers.
after considerable dickering, have
concluded that the construction of a
new canal on the East side of the
river would be too expensive and that
project is practically abandoned.
Therefore, it has been determined to
acquire the old West side canal by
condemnation, unless the Portland
Railway, Light & Power company will
make further reduction in its price.
The latest figure quoted by this
company was $45O,OO but the en-
gineers believe this price is exhorbi-
tant.

BUILD PALoUsE DAM.
Residents Interested IN Project +
lrrigate Arid Lands.

Residents Interested in Project to
Irrigate Arid Lands.
Palouse- The movement to urge
upon the United States reclamation
service the building Of dam in the
north fork of the Palouse river be-
tween Palouse and Elberton or higher
upstream, if found feasible, is attract
ing much attention from those living
along the river. The most important
interest which would be served if the
project is found practicable would be
the irrigation Of the sem-arid lands in
the southeastern part Of Adams coun-
ty and the northeastern part Of Frank
lin county. The most direct benefit,
however, to the people Of Palouse and
this section would be that the dam
would be used to hold the water that
floods the banks of the river annually,
to be let out in times of low water
and drouth, and thus keep an even
flow in the river. Water power also
could be developed that might be util-
lied for manufactures.
A meeting will be held on March l
or 2 at either Colfax or Palouse to
discuss the project. Resolutions will
be adopted and delegation may pos
sibly be sent to Washington to insist
that action be taken by congress.
Governor Hay will be present at the
meeting.

Labor Denounces Defender Of Nc.
Namaras As Traitor.
Denver-William D. Haywood, ex.
secretary of the Western Federation
of Miners, who is in Lawrence, Mass,
working in the cause of the striking
textile workers, was denounced by the
Denver trades and labor assembly as
an enemy Of organized labor.
The resolution attacking Haywood
was adopted after evidence had been
presented that Haywood had been
quoted correctly in the newspapers re-
Gently when he made statements at
lacking the American federation of
labor because of its withdrawal of
support from the McNamaras follow
ing their pleas of guilty in the Los
Angeles dynamiting case. Haywood q
remarks were branded as incendiary
and unworthy Of man connected
with organized labor.
N. w. Hilton, the Denver attorney
who short time after the arrest Of
the McNamaras was connected with
their defense as counsel, in q speech
to the local labor assembly denounced
Clarence Darrow, the McNamaras, at
torney, declaring that he had sacri-
feed his clients to his own interests.

States Power Defined.

Olympia-The State Supreme court
has held that the power of the state to
regulate the charges and rates of a
public service corporation, as vested
in the State Public Service commits
sion, is paramount to that of the mu-
inequalities, and issued a writ re-
straining the lower courts from inter
fering with the rates of the Independ-
ent Telephone company, of Seattle,
as fixed by the commission.
The new rates are higher than the
old, but the court says that if the
commission can lower rates it can
raise them. It is specifically stated,
however, that cities may regulate by
franchise and ordinance, and that the
state power only supersedes that of
the municipality when it is exercised.

Telephone Lines Joined.

Chehalis - All differences between
the local telephone company and the
Silver Greek rural company have been
adjusted after months of controversy,
and the latter has been connected
with the local system. Under the
agreement the Silver Creek company
will cut off certain Of its connections
with Cowlitz Prairie section and read
just its lines in the southern part of
the county.
A total of 175 new telephones in the
country to the east of Chehalis are
added to the list that may now be
reached through the local system.
This city has one of the most extensive
rural telephone systems of any town
on the Pacific Coast.
