LoRlMER TRIAL BEGINS.
Senate Will Again Investigate CeIe
brated Bribery Case.

Washington, D. c. = The second
trial of Senator Lorimer, of Illinois.
on the charge of having been elected
by corrupt methods was begun in the
senate Thursday with speech by SEN
ator Kern. of Indiana, member OF
the investigating committee, who
signed the minority report against
Lorimer.
Senator Kern gave especial atten-
ton to the plea that the case had been
settled by the senate's vindication last
year. That plea, he said, had been
reached only at the last moment. He
said he would not admit its validity
it had come too late, and the plea it.
self was" res adjudicata.
Reminding the senate that under the
constitution it is the Judge of the
qualifications of its own members,
Kern contended it was competent for
that body to proceed at any time in
any matter involving the integrity OF
its membership.
"There was no suggestion by Sena-
tor Lorimer or anyone on his behalf
that the senate had not ample power
to make q reinvestigation of his
case, said Senator Kern He tao
lily acquiesced in the senate's action.
He appeared in person and by counsel
before the committee during the in
vestigation, cross-examining all wit
nesses called by the committee and
examining scores of the witnesses in
his behalf"
Kern said he believed the first in
vestigation had been incomplete and
had failed to develop facts which must
have been accessible.

INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AND
PROGRESS OF OUR HOME STATE
WET 90. 900 ACRES.

Judge Decides Formation Of Reclaim
ton District Legal.
Ellensburg-Judge w. o. Chapman,
of Tacoma. sitting on the Kittitas
County Superior court bench, has
ruled that every step in the formation
ofsthe s Kittitas.: reclamation district
was wa; legal, and then refused the tenn
porary injunction asked by the plain
tiffsT against the nighttime canal work.
The suit was brought by owners Of less
than 1000 acres Of the 10000 acres OF
irrigable land in the district. Most
of the owners of these 1000 acres were
protesting because they claimed to
have sufficient water from creeks.
They asked that the court issue an
injunction prohibiting the directors
from spending any more money or
from selling the district bonds which
will amount to $5,000,0 900. The own
ers of the other $4,000 acres in the
district have been cooperating with
the directors, and the filing of this suit
caused excitement among the people
of the valley.
Judge Chapman ruled that the
plaintiffs have no standing in this or
any other proceeding. That the ques-
ton of their rights was determined by
the county commissioners, when the
district was organized and confirmed
by the decree of Judge Preble, con-
frming all the proceedings for the or
ganization of the district and all the
proceedings of the district itself.
Alfred Battle, Of Seattle, and N. c..
Richards, of North Yakima, were the
attorneys for the protesting land own
ers and Carroll B. Graves, of Seattle,
was the attorney for the district.
The work of the district is being
rushed. Two parties Of surveyors are
now finishing the typographical work
and the classifying of the land, as
we'll as running the final line surveys.
The work has been completed from
the storage works at Lake Kachees to
point in the lower valley, and it is
expected that the final engineering re-
port will be ready in few weeks, SO
that directors can advertise for the
sale of the $4,000 bond issue.
Secretary Fisher, of the department
of the interior, with whom the direc-
tors of the district have been nego-
tiating for the storage water from the
government storage works at Lake
Kachees and Keechelus, wrote to the
directors recently that the price for
the water would be set shortly. A
special engineer for the department
recently made trip to this district to
compile data. e. ~
| Within the borders of the Kittitas
district are more than 100000 acres,
of which more than 10000 acres are
classified as irrigable. 1t is the larg-
est irrigation district yet undertaken
in the Pacific Northwest and will fur
nish homes for thousands of residents.
