Water VIII Be Turned In Wednes-
day for the Upper Portion
Of the Canal
CONTRACTOR TO COMPLETE
HIS WORK ON APRIL FIFTH
Work Which Yves Done BY the
Corporation Under Force Ae-
count Has Been Completed Ex-
cent Minor Detnils

Water will be turned in "wednesday
in the upper portion OF the Congdon
ditch and will be carried AZ far a.
the concrete siphon where It will be
held until April 9Th. after which it
will be allowed to run in and fill the
balance Of the canal and the airriga-
ton season for 1912 FOR the landhold-
ers under that ditch will have started.
1t Is expected that all the reconstruct
ton work on the canal, intended for
this year, will have been completed
by April s. Contractor Powell, who
has the work on portion Of the re-
construction, gives that as his opinion,
and his work is the heaviest yet re-
naming.
The canal company itself has been
doing the reconstruction work east
and south from the Cowiche and has
completed 1t and turned off its men
Mr.. Powell had the work from the
Cowiche out to the Schiller ranch,
and, as stated, expects to complete It
by April s. The work at the head
gates which Contractor Smith took
up last fall has been completed and
some 5000 feet of fume have been
lined with tar paper and inch 1um-
Der and has been renovated in every
way that care could suggest. The
ditch therefore Is ready to carry water
as far as the copcrete siphon and will
be carried that far at once, the water
being turned inswednesday.
At the Abe Morrison ranch in the
Wide Hollow and at another point
half a mile further along it is neces-
sary to do some concrete lining to the
canal, aggregating in all about thou
sand feet. The machinery which was
In use by the company on the con-
struction work on that part Of the
canal which the stockholders them
selves built under force account. has
been removed to the Wide Hollow
and the lining work needed there has
been taken up. This will be complet-
ed by April s, the date on which Mr.
Powell is expected to finish and wa
ter will be turned into the balance Of
the ditch Immediately. Therefore, by
April 10th, at the outside. the ditch
should be carrying water for its sea-
sons operations. This will be excel
lent news to the people having land
under the canal.
The Herald has already given in
outline some idea of the reinforced
concrete fuming which has taken the
place of the old canal and which has
made of the canal practically a solid
piece of mansonry, steel and con-
crete. giving to the stockholders prob
ably the best carrier of any in this
part of the country, not excepting
the splendid work on the Tieton.

Come home with me, beloved
Home to the heart Of God;
In lonely separate byways
We long enough have trod.
Away from rest and shelter
Why should be further press?
Tho end of our self-seeking
Is only homelssness.
Come home with me. beloved!
Gods children have but one;
Its windows glow and glisten,
Lit from beyond tho sun:
Its golden hearth-fres beckon
To all. and aye to each
In deserts deep entangled
Where but His eye can reach.
Come home with me, beloved!
Each in that house shall have
His own peculiar chamber,
Filled with the gifts he gave.
The mansions Lord, our Father;
while, sons and princes there.
Each royalty with others
His blessedness shall share.
Come home with me. beloved
Home to Gods waiting heart!
In gladness met together
From paths too long apart;
Strangers no more, but brethren
Our life with Him to live:
BternalIy receiving
Eternally to give.

The fund will increase with heavy
tonnage and diminish with light crops,
thus nicely adjusting itself to all
changing conditions.
There will always be three years
contributions remaining in the fund.
which period Of time will safely
bridge over occasional non-productive
years.
I'm case of final liquidation the
three years period already provided
for admits of an orderly settlement
and liquidation OF affairs and safe
guards any demand for precipitate
or hasty action.
What the Result win be.
Based upon present crop prospects.
It Is estimated that this fund will
aggregate lat the close Of the present
season from $4,000. 90 to 100000,
and that 1t will. by the close OF its
irst three year period, aggregate from
100000 to $150,oo0, the whole of
which will be required to properly
care for the increasing volume of
business.
your adoption of this plan will
make certain Hhe date when all col
lateral notes will be fully Cancelled
and returned. We believe that we can
safely promise that they will be re-
turned by the close Of the following
season, with even bare possibility
Of being so returned at the close of
the present season. fst tsf
This will dispense with further me-
cessity for the District Association to
divide the membership fee with Gen.
trail, leaving the Districts In possess
sion of the full amount to better
equip themselves with warehouses and
shipping facilities, and further pro-
vides for a return to the District Of
the amount already paid Central ON
account of memberships out of any
surplus accumulated from other re-
sources. This Is done upon the theory
that Central can never be any strong
err than are the Districts themselves;
it is therefore advisable to plan in
advance for their needs as we'll as for
Central.
Result of Many Minds.
I'VE have brought to bear upon the
formulating Of this plan the combined
Judgment, counsel and advice of many
minds.
I've are convinced that it is the
proper and best thing to do That If
adopted 1t will provide through our
own members the proper means for
their own protection, and such as
will render their association both eff
feotive and independent.
fLet US be progressive and con-
tinue to maintain our present lead
among all fruit organizations Of the
Northwest. First IN acreage and ton
mage; first in quality. grade and pack;
first in practical progressive co-oper,-
alton.
"Your management greatly appre-
ciates the loyalty Of our membership
and the confidence 1t has heretofor
displayed in support of our policies.
We hope that there may not be a
dissenting voice and that the matter
may be speedily contaminated to bet
ter prepare us to meet the emergen-
cies and aid us in carrying the re-
sponsibilities that devolves upon your
Central Office"
