KL|CK|TAT IRRIGATION
co. INCREASES CAPITAL
Big Horse Heaven Venture Now Cap
italized at Twenty-Five
Millions

Following close upon the enthus-
iastic meeting of the Land Owners
Association held in Prosser a
week ago, authentic information
has been received from Seattle OF
the authorization by the Klickitat
Irrigation & Power Co. of the in
crease in their capital st ock to $685.
600 900, says the Benton Indepen.
dent.
This large working capital places
the project on a firm financial foot
ing and will make possible not only
the irrigation of the 800, 900 acres
originally contemplated but also the
watering Of additional Horse Heaven
land totalling in all something like
500, 900 acres. The successful irri-
CATION of this entire tract, it is stated
upon the authority of the U. S. land
Office officials, will practically double
the reclaimed area of the state.
Increased land values incident to
the completion of the Klickitat Ca
nal will be marked, estimated by
conservative judges, at in the neigh.
borhood of S50,OOO.OOO. Furthe,
development of this large addition
to the productive area of the state
along varied agricultural lines, fruit
raising, alfalfa and stock raising
will, it is stated by men best &C.
quainted with the Horse Heaven
country, add to the taxible reality
values of Washington approximate.
ly $3.50, 100000. The Horse Heav.
en- plateau has long been recognized
by agricultural experts as one oi
the largest single bodies of irrigable
land in the west, the successful
watering of which has been deferred
only by the large expense entailed
in the construction of the canal.
The completion of the present pro.
ject will consummate a remarkable
feat in engineering and prove lone
step forward in the history of con.
servation.

N. P. TO SHORTEN LINE
SPOKANE TO THE COAST
Approves Plans for RitzMlle-Ellensbure
Cut-of-Asks Bids on Grandview-
Cibbon Extension

The plans for the contemplated
cutoff from Ritzville to Ellensburg
are reported to have been approved
in the main Office of the Northern
Pacific Railway and work on this
project, it is believed, will soon be
put under way.
The new line, when completed,
will be lis miles long and is esti-
mated to cost 81, ZOO. 900. 1t will
shorten the N. P. 80 miles between
Spokane and Seattle, making the
distance over the new route 31O
miles, or the shortest of any line
between those cities.
The Northern Pacific has also
called for bids on the Gibbon exten.
sion OF the Grandview branch. From
Grandvlew to Gibben, six miles
east OF Prosser, is twelve miles and
the work Is estimated to cost in the
neighborhood of $I2O,OOO.
Announcement that work is to
start soon on the connection is
hailed with joy by the towns of
Granger, Sunnyside and Grandview
for it means that shortly they will
be on the main line. Poor old Pros.
ser, however, seems to he doomed to
be left on a side track, unless she
picks up bag and baggage and moves
over to North Prosser where new
town will rapidly be built upon the
compl, ton of the extension.

representative Herbert K Row
land. of Benton county, probably
rill play one of the leading parts
n what may develop as among the
hottest fights of the legislature.
Hostilities are imminent over the
.,onosed state water code, drafted
~ commission of II named by
r,.Goyernor M. E. Hay. The COM
mission finished its work only last
week and Immediately asked the
bouse and senate committees on ir-
r;oation and arid lands to introduce
The code as committee bill, which
would place the measure on general
file at once, making further commit
tee reference unnecessary.
Representative Rowland is chair
man Of the house committee on ir-
rigation and arid lands.
He has thought, and has not been
slow to express the opinion, that
the commission of II contained too
many representatives of the big cor
porations and that the water users
we're left out in the cold. He is
still inclined to this opinion, though
members of the commission spent
two hours last week with the senate
and house committees on irrigation,
explaining the various features of
the proposed law, one by one. O.
III. Waller, president Of Washington
State College, who is chairman of
the code commission, and Judge G.
B. Graves, Of Seattle, did most of
the talking. The members of the
two committees listened and then
decided to wait till later date to
make up their minds as to whether
they would take the responsibility
Of introducing the measure.
Since this hearing, numerous
other Eastern Washington legislat-
ors have received kilograms from
their constituents, asking them to
vote against the proposed code or to
investigate it thoroughly before TAX
ing action, indicating that general
suspicion in regard to the provisions
exists.
Ii the water code is not taken up
by the COMMITTEES it is certain it's
introduction will be arranged in
some other manner. The code pro-
poses to establish means for determ-
ming what water rights are now in
the possession of individuals and
corporations and to provide a
method by which water rights may
be obtained in the future. It creates
the Office Of state hydraulic engineer
and provides corps of overseers in
the various irrigation districts.

F. & P. co. MAY
OPEN BRANCH
Report Shows Good Year---Cap-
ital Stock Increased to $4,000
---By-Laws Revised

The Kennewick Fruit & Produce
Co. met Saturday, Jan. 26, at the
Commercial Club rooms to COM
plete the work Of the annual gath
ering of it's stockholders. The COM
mittee appointed at the meeting
on Jan. Goth, reported a revised
set of bylaws for the company,
which, with a few minor changes,
were adopted.
The most noticeable changes in
the policy of the company as indi-
Gated by this revision, are as fol-
lows:
To become a stockholder in the
future one must purchase at least
| 20 shares at one dollar each.
In voting on all questions, except
those relating to amendments of the
articles of incorporation or bylaws,
each stockholder has but one vote,
and no one shall hold and vote
more than five proxies.
The trustees are allowed to estab-
lish branches of the company's
store in other towns, provided the
citizens of said town shall purchase
stock in the company to the amount
of one-ffth of its capital.
| The capital stock of the company
was increased from s15, 900 to S25,-
1000.
A system of proft-sharing was
int reduced, which is modification
of the Rockdale system so success
full in England:
L. Set aside Is per cent of the
net profit to the surplus account,
but in no case is this sum to be less
than 81, 600.
2. Pay 10 per cent on capital
stock.
3. Pay stockholders 3 per cent
rebate on all merchandise pur-
chases.
4. Divide balance of net profit on
a percentage based on the sum of
capital stock and merchandise pur-
chases, except that the total divi-
dend on capital stock is limited to
IL per cent.
1t will be seen that these are
somewhat radical changes. but we
believe that they mark a long step
in advance and will open an era of
still greater prosperity.
Two sets of three questions each
were put to the assembled stock
holders:
| /. Shall we reduce the stock, car
rying fewer lines and work on more
conservative basis?
2. Shall we continue as we are,
pushing the lines of work already
opened only?
3. Shall we expand our work as
occasion offers and as the Judgment
of the trustees seems advisable?
By practically unanimous vote
the third proposition was adopted
as the policy of the company.
The second set was:
| 1. Shall we reduce prices to pur-
chasers, making less profit, but
lessening materially cost to consum-
ers?
| 2. Shall we continue the policy
now pursued, to live and let live,
making a profit sufficient for the
carrying on OF such business with
out risk OF loss or failure, or
3. Shall we advance prices, pos
sibly making greater profit for
the stockholders, but materially in
creasing cost to our patrons?
The second of these propositions
met with the enthusiastic approval
of the stockholders present. The
company is a cooperative one, Or
ganized for the greatest good to the
greatest number; and though yield
ing a good profit to its stockholders
as will be seen from some items be-
low, it is not primarily a money
making, but rather money-saving
institution.

The trouble with such policy OF mastery mac

Mr. Cummins and his associates have profted by
those lessons In their states the Republican voters
had enough faith In the local organizations TO elect
Republican Governors and other state officers. bur
they would not indorse the management Of the ma
tonal organization. If the national party is TO
prosper II must be brought into harmony with the
state organizations. which at the last election
showed themselves more than one million votes
stronger than the national ticket.
The quickest and most practicable way to close the
breach is to call national convention for the
purpose Of changing the basis of representation in
national conventions and putting control of the
national party in the hands Of the actual Repub
lican voters After that is accomplished the party
