Ate Nuts in Church.

The Sunday before Michaelmas day
saw, until recent times, a curious Gus
tom at Kingston-Thames. The parish
toner's attended in force at the parish
church, armed with nuts, which they
cracked and ate throughout the serv-
ice. Nut cracking however, was
not peculiar to Kingston. Goldsmith
makes his Vicar of Wakefield say Of
his parishioners: They kept up the
Christmas Carol, sent true-love knots
on Valentine morning, ate pancakes
at Shrovetide. and religiously cracked
nuts on Michaelmas eve" London

Dear Friends in Iowa II
haven't time to write to all
separately, | will send letter
to the Valley Times and reach
you all in that way.
will tell you of our ten days
outing in the Big Horn Noun
tain; there were fifteen of US
and it took two days to go up.
We had ten horses, five saddle
ponies. 1t rained the first day
out and we canped that night
by Lunch Rock; left there next
day at 1850 and drove until
$50 that afternoon before we
got to our camping ground and
pitched our two tents. Cooked
out doors on a camp stove and
took our turns at cooking, but
it seemed to me that | turned"
twice to one of the others, be-
cause | had to make the biscuits.
We went to Lake Geneva
and seven of us climbed up to
snow and it took US three hours
to go up and one to go down to
where we left the rest of the
folks; we got back to camp
about GOO p. m. The next
morning we moved our camp
to MooTe's cabins and next
day went to Dome Lake and saw
s9me very beautiful scenery.
Spent another day at Twin
Likes fishing and sight seeing.
We went on horseback part Of
the way, walking the rest it
being too rough for the horses,
as it was only a trail and the
wind had blown down some big
trees across the trail, so we
had to climb over them. We
got to the lakes at 1920, fished
until $3.50, catching 65 in all.
The next day was cloudy and
threatened rain so nobody got
far from camp. Next day we
went to Spring Rock. 1t is a
huge rock with a stream of
water running out all the time
and only 4 degrees of freezing,
so it was some cold. We were
twice above timber line and we
visited several mining claims.
One was Watts that used to
live in Mondamin, Iowa; it was
a gold mine. There was no one
there as they had done all the
work that was required for this
year.

in the sixty-day egg-laying contest
which will be conducted by the
Washington State Fair at North
Yakima. The contest begins July
9th and closes Sept. 18th and pens
consisting of six hens and a male
bird have been entered by thirty
poultry yards located in all sections
of the state. There are six prizes
offered, ranging from $40 in cash
down to a sack of egg food. This
is the first contest of this nature to
be held in the state and doubtless
will attract lot of attention from
the poultrymen. Weekly bulletins
will be issued giving the standing
OF the contesting pens from week to

AWARDED LAND
Hansen Loses Fine Quarter-Sec-
ton by Final Ruling of Secre-
tary of Interior

The long-drawn. out land contest
case of E. H. Mann, NJ. N. Hud-
nall, Ottilia Beinhart and Chas.
Robertson, against Otto Hansen. of
Spokane, was settled Monday when
the Secretary of the Interior handed
down a decision which reverses the
order of the general land office and
gives the preference right to the
four contestants.
By this decision the four lucky
homesteaders will eventually Sc
cure title to 40 acres each of fine
Highlands property and Mr.. Han
sen loses his ri ght to land which,
with water right, is considered
worth in the neighborhood of $780,
900.
The description of the land is
the Northwest quarter of Section 4,
Township 8, Range 20. The his
tory of the contest is as follows, ac-
cording to Attorney S. M. Lockerby
who represented the contestants:
The quarter section was original
ly filed upon by Clyde H. Ritchie
in 1905. His right was contested
by Otto Hansen who won the con-
test in June, 1907. The land was
withdrawn from entry in 1905 and
was again thrown open to settle
ment in Nov. 1910. Instead of ex-
ercising his preference right at that
time and filing homestead or
desert land entry. Mr.. Hansen in
stead offered Northern Pacific scrip.
The four contestants filed their
claims in December, 1910, and in
March, 1911, Hanson also offered
his homestead entry.
Both the local land office and
the general land office held that
Hansen had made good his prefer
ence right when he offered to scrip
the land in lieu of filing regular
entry, but the Secretary of the In
terror decided otherwise.
Mr.. Hanson will very likely ask
for a re-hearing of the case, but un-
less he can bring forth new evidence
or argument in support of his claim,
the application will probably be
denied

There will be in the company
twenty-one directors, fourteen of
whom will be fruit growers from
these valleys. Several of the larger
growers in the Yakima valley have
signifed their approval of the plans
and have agreed to take stock in
the company. A few of the bigger
growers who are buying stock are
H. M. Gilbert, of Toppenish; Alex
Miller, of North Yakima; Harry
Jones, of Wapato; w. c. Richards,
of North Yakima; w. O. Palmer,
of Ellensburg and S. J. Harrison,
of Benton City, With men on the
board of directors who are actively
engaged in the production of fruit
on large scale the smaller growers
will not suffer through any lack of
attention to their interests.
The committee which has been
working on the securing of site
for the proposed plant, has several
in view, and the architect, Clarence
q. Hubbell, who will design the
plant, will arrive in Kennewick
Saturday morning to select the one
best suited to the needs. His re-
port will be made at the Tuesday
meeting.
Mr.. Wilson states that the COM
pany will be incorporated on the
fifth Of August, and allowing sixty
days to get the growers subscrip-
tions, work will be started in time
to get the plant ready to handle the
first crops next spring.
An invitation has been extended
to everyone in the valley to hear
the plan at the meeting next Tues
day evening at the Club rooms and
no one should miss hearing the de-
tails of a proposition which is bound
to have such tremendous influence
on the future prosperity of this COM
munity.

EXTEND SUNNYS|DE
CANAL TO BENTON CITY
u. S. r. S. Agrees to Sell Water to
Irrigate 5000 Acres-Cost to be
S92 Per Acre

An extension of the Sunnyside
canal to water the lands in the
vicinity of Benton City is now as
sured, says the Benton Independ-
ent. This project will involve the
construction of about ten miles of
ditch from the end of the present
canal to Benton City. About 5000
acres of land will be brought under
the gravity ditch and the expense
of the work will be borne by the
land owners. This cost will be in
addition to the $52 per acre which
must be paid for the government
water right, and will amount to
about $40 per acre, making the
total cost to the land to be irrigated
by the new extension, about $92
per acre.
The land now owned and watered
by the Kiona- Benton Land & Water
Co., which is irrigated by means of
a pumping system, will come under
the gravity canal. 1t is likely that
the pumping plant now used will
be moved to land still higher than
the gravity extension, thus bringing
a still greater acreage into cultiva-
ton. It is thought that water will
be available for irrigation purposes
in 1918.

ST. PAUL LUMBER co.
WILL MOVE ITS YARD
Local Branch to Build on Site West of
Tacoma Street-Open for Business
September 18th.

The St. Paul and Tacoma Lum-
ber Co. has completed its prelimin-
ary operations for moving its yard,
and General Manager G. w. Gamble
is in the city at present to get the
work actively started.
The yard will be moved from it's
present location on the Northern
Pacific right-of-way, tt. site pur-
chased by the company a year or
so ago, fronting on Tacoma street,
block or so west of their present
location. New buildings will be
constructed, and all lumber in the
new location will be under cover.
The buildings will be four in num-
Der, and will be entirely new, their
present buildings having been sold.
The cost of the new structures will
be above 5000.
A house-track for loading and
unloading purposes, some 500 feet
long, is now in place and will be
used jointly by the Northern Pa
cific and the O-W. R. & n.
Mr.. Gamble stated that the COM
pany expected to be doing business
in the new location by the middle
of September, and by that time
would have their stock complete.
The regular stock for this point will
be practically doubled in the future.
There will be no change in the
local force, Mr.. Skirving continu-
ing as manager of the Kennewick
yard.
