Congressman Randell failed to get
his anti graft bill through the house
and he said: 81 have no doubt that
an investigation would show that q

house and of Congress are engaged

this bill would stop" Some OF the
Congressman got awful mad. They

them. Edwards of Georgia said:

suit in much profit to those Washing
tonians who may find it possible to
attend. is the Pacific Northwest Land
Products Show and Pacific International
Dairy Show which is 10 be held at
Portland, November 18 to D. inclusive.
This show will differ from the usual
event of this kind in that practical
consideration will be given to the vital
questions Of transportation, financing
and marketing of crops. Many valu-
able prizes are to be given for best
exhibits. Among those offering prizes
is the Oregon-Washington Railroad &
Navigation Co. To the district making
the best display of agricultural pro-
ducts grown along its line it will give
a fine sterling silver cup. Mr.. ]. D.

commercially valuable potatoes grown
in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Mon

Big Wenatchee Store Quits Business

The Ellis-Forde Co. of Wenatchee,
for ten years the largest mercantile
store in that city gave out the news
the first Of the week that they would
close out their stock OF goods within
the next sixty days and quit business.
The proprietors who have in the past
two years sold out chain of stores in
Cashmere, Chelan, Riverside, LOOMS,
Republic, say they have acquired sew
eral thousand acres Of orchard land in
the Okonogan country and other por-
tons of the state and that most Of
their time will be spent in looking after
their land holdings. The firm still has
a big store in Couer d'Alene, Idaho,
and it is rumored that there is deal
on for the firm to take over big mer-
camille establishment in eastern Wash
ington, which promises to be the big
gest thing they have yet tackled.

QUINCY IRRIGATION PROJECT
AGAIN CLAIMS ATTENTION
Engineer Jacobs Makes Report on Pro-
posed Big Irrigation Project

To irrigate the Quincy Flats which
comprises in all about 5000 acres,
the cost will be approximately 800
an acre or a total Of $500, 900 &C
cording to the estimate made public
last week by Reclamation Engineer
Jacobs.
The Quincy irrigation project which
is the biggest thing Of its kind ever
undertaken includes a tract of land
Sc miles long and thirty miles wide
or 1880 square miles, about IS per
cent of the lands involved are in pri-
vate ownership; per cent is govern
ment land; 7 per cent state land and Q
per cent railroad land.
On account of the magnitude of the
project federal or state aid is very es-
sential, commenting on the big scheme
Mr.. Jacobs says, Except for a few
small irrigable tracts it is altogether
unlikely that in this state any scheme
of irrigation has ever been placed in
operation where the cost per acre will
be less. Furthermore all the smaller
irrigable areas have been reclaimed so
that in the future the irrigation pro-
jects will embrace larger tracts than
ever before, involving far greater cap
ital.
Promoters of the project anticipate
that lands now worth only SIS to $40
per acre will be raised in value to $3.50
to $1,000 per acre by construction of
the project. These estimates are based
on value of lands in the Yakima and
Wenatchee projects.
The water supply for iuigating the
Quincy valley project is to be taken
from the available surplus water in the
regular flow OF the Wenatchee river,
supplemented by storage created by
construction OF dam at the mouth OF
Wenatchee lake. This water is to be
conducted by canal down the east side
of the Wenatchee valley, under the
Columbia river by means Of pressure
tunnel, and thence down the east
side of the Columbia to the tract to be
watered. The main canal, exclusive
of the distribution system, would be
So miles long.

INSPECTOR URGES
BETTER FRUIT LAW
P. S. Darlington Points Out Defects in
State Provision for the Care of
Trees

Deputy State Horticultural Inspector
P. S. Darlington has issued the follow
ing appeal for legislative relief:
THE apples have now practically all
been picked. The Wenatchee valley
has just gathered the largest crop OF
fruit in its history. This years crop
is the cleanest crop Of fruit the Wenat-
chez valley has produced in the last
six years. The infected fruit in the
commercial orchards Of the valley will
average not more than from one to two
per cent of the crop.
Fruit trees in town, the trees on
the small lots, the trees that are not in
the commercial orchards, in many
cases still remain menace to the COM
munity because the present horticul-
tural law is not operative and is not
eHectlVe IN Sucn cases.
Section 81 of the state horticultural
law says, in effect, that il the spray no
tice of the horticultural inspector is
not complied with the inspector has
the authority to take charge OF the
spraying of that orchard himself and to
charge the cost as lien against the
property. The law does not provide
the inspector with any fund from which
he may draw until the lien can be
cashed.
"One inspector in the state took
charge Of spraying some orchards and
drew from his own account to pay the
immediate cost. He Immediately filed
his lien, but could not get action on
them for more than two years, and !
don't know that he has gotten it yet.
In order to make the law effective
in this respect fund should be pro-
vided, either by the state or by the
county, from which the inspector can
draw for this purpose. The lien can
thus be filed and the money will in
time come back to this fund. Thus
this would become a revolving fund.-"

J, E. Frost, formerly a member OF
the state tax commission, in an address
before the League of Northwest Mu-
inequalities at Walla Walla, declared
that the solution Of the tax problem in
the state of Washington would come in
the freeing, by constitutional amend
ment, of the hands Of the Legislators so
they can profit by the experiences of
other states and get away from the
primitive methods now in use. He
said in part: THE state Of Washing
ton is the only state in the Union, and
to my knowledge, the only civilized
community in the world, that grants
exemption to predatory wealth and i'm
poses the entire burden Of taxation
upon simple forms Of property, upon
the farm, the home, the merchant and
the manufacturer.

To Howard G. Cosgrove, president
of the board Of regents, is due the
credit for the successful fight waged
by the University Of Washington which
eliminated in the decision by Judge
E. M. Card of Tacoma which gives
the university possession of BIS acres
of land valued at $4,000 per acre.
This land has been sold to private
concern by the commissioner of public
lands at a price OF $40 per acre. Mr..
Cosgrove saw the mention OF this in
the commissioners report. He started
an investigation, whereupon he found
that there was question whether the
state had right to sell the land as
had been done in 1910. The attorney
general doubted whether this could be
taken back by the university, but ad-
mitted there was a fighting chance.
Cosgrove kept up the fight constantly
for two years, single handed, and final
ly secured favorable court decision.
