OPEN RIVER LEWISTON TO SEA
NOW ASSURED

Lewiston, Idaho, March 8-The
hope OF the people Of the northwest
for a half century will be realized
during the year 1914, an open river
from Lewiston to the sea, and max
ing Of this city In reality seaport
connecting with the deep water ports
Of the world. The important assur-
ance Is now given through the sue
cess Of Senator Bourne OF Oregon
securing an amendment to the riv.
ers and harbors bill whereby the ap-
preparation for the Cello canal work
has been increased from 100000 to
100000. The house attached to
the bill the first named sum and the
Senate increased 1t to the larger
amount. On Saturday night the
house and the Senate conferees held
a session and as a result the SEN
ate amendments held, the session ex-
tending to o'clock Sunday morning.
The senate had also amended the
house bill by increasing the amount
for the improvement of the Colum-
bia from Cello to the mouth Of the
Snake from $4,000 to 100000. The
sum the bill carries for improvement
work on the Snake river during the
year is $4,000, 80 the total sum to
be available In opening the rivers
to continuous navigation from Lewis
ton to Portland is $1,2S5,000.
There has already been expended
on the Cello canal over $4,000, 900,
the recent policy Of the government
being to make continuing appropria-
tions In sums adequate to keep the
work going along steadily. Friends
of the open river, conspicuous among
them being Senator Bourne Of Ore
gon, secured data from the United
States engineers to the effect that
If the sum OF $1.200.00 was allow
ed the canal could be finished dur
ing 1914 and 1t was upon this show
ing that congress has now taken
action. The canal 10 eight
miles in length connecting big Eddy
above the Dalles with Cello. Years
ago the government constructed
locks that afford passage through
the Cascade rapids. Cello falls then
the only obstacle to through
and northwest men have
been working for years to secure
that which is now to be realized.
AS the Panama canal Ia to be op-
ened In 1915 the Cello canal can al
30 be put in service at that time.
Boats of 400 tons burden can then
run from Portland and
deep water direct to Lewiston. Later
the Snake and upper Columbia, un-
der the plans of the U. 8. Engineers
will be so improved that the great
will accommodate craft OF
500 to 600 tons burden.

ORCHARDS WILL
BE INSPECTED
Deputies Of horticultural Department
to Take Field In a
Few Days

The state horticultural department
through Inspector ]. U. Mcpherson
will begin an inspection of every or
chard and fruit farm in the state
within the next 10 days. The time
tor spraying fruit trees has been. here
for over 80 days, but owing to the
legislature not passing the appropria.
tion for expenses of the deputies to
go over the state, nothing has been
done. The department will begin to
notify orchard owners within the next
"a hours to spray at once, as there
is great danger to the fruit crop to
put this work off longer. Notices
will be mailed and a personal inves-
tigation as to the condition of the
trees as regards their freeness from
disease will be made at once.
1t is understood by the department
that a large number Of the orchards
in this section of the state and in
the vicinity Of Lewiston have already
been sprayed for the first time.
Complaints have been registered
that orchards which last year were
placed under the ban by the depart
ment, and which abutt orchards
which are in healthy condition, have
not as yet been sprayed.
Since the legislature appropriated
$4,000 for the horticultural depart
ment 1t Is thought by Inspector Nc
Pherson that a large amount OF work
can be done in the coming two years
The appropriation Tor this department.
was increased materially over the
years 1911-1912, and 1t is thought
there will be sufficient money to in
vestigate the various diseases which
have affected the apple and other
crops. A horticultural man Is to be
put at work by the department this
year to advise with orchardists and
fruit growers regarding the best
methods of pruning and spraying.
Quality is to be the slogan OF the
expert and he is to work in cooper
alton with the university and agri-
cultural schools and experiment
farms throughout the state.
The horticultural board will meet
tomorrow to allot monies for the
work to be carried ON during the
year. The deputies of the depart
ment will be appointed by the state
inspector and ratified by the board
1t is understood that several new de-
puties are to be placed under the de-
partment. 1t is necessary that more
deputies be appointed as the spray
ing season has been so long delayed
by the action of the legislature upon
the appropriation bill.-Statesman.

Water and Light Commission
win Be Handicapped If 1t
Follows Law.
REVISION NECESSARY
TO GOOD BUSINESS
Commission Cannot Make Purchases
Over $50 in Value Without Having
Them Sanctioned by City Council,
Involving Vast Amount of Costly
Detail.

That chapter Of the charter Of the
city of Virginia under which the city
is at present working, SO far as it ap-
plies to the water and light commits
sion, which has just taken over the
conduct of the affairs Of the munich
pal light and water plant, is totally
inadequate to cover the needs of the
situation, will needlessly hamper the
commission in the discharge of its
duties and it will be submitted to a
vote of the people either at a special
election or at the annual election in a
revised form that it is hoped will cure
all present defects.
AS applied to the conduct Of the
affairs of the municipal water and
light plant it is wholly inadequate and
in giving the city service the commits
sion will be compelled to disregard
some of it's provisions.
Extensions of water mains which
are necessary at present could not be
made for months if the charter pro.
visions were followed to the letter
They would involve a vast amount Of
detail procedure which in the end
would accomplish nothing but delay
and result in additional expense. Ac'
cordingly the extensions will be gone
ahead with as soon as possible follow
inx the charter as closely az possible!
The chapter fixing the powers ant

elusive. The commission cannot buy
material in sums that will be larger
than $50 without a requisition from
the city council. 1t must Immediately
contract for the necessary mains and
construction work on proposed and
delayed and necessary extensions. If
the charter were literally followed this
could not yet be done for several
weeks.
Of the fifteen members of the char
ter commission recently appointed by
the district court to revise the char
ter only few have qualified. A new
list of names will be submitted to the
judges within short time and it is
hoped to have the work of revising
the charter under way in short time.
There is some discussion about the
city regarding the adoption of the
commission form of government and
when the charter matter is taken up
it may be considered.

PARTRlDCES RIPE
BUTFEW KILLED
Hunting Season Opened on Birds and
Many Sportsmen Go to Woods
Tomorrow.

Wednesday was the first day of the
open season on partridges, but un-
favorable weather kept most hunters
at home and few birds have been Sc
cured since the opening of the season.
Tomorrow and Sunday will witness
a considerable exodus of sportsmen
from Virginia to the woods in this
vicinity and along the deserted log
ging roads, where birds are most easi-
ly accessible and most often found,
there will be vigilant patrol.
Reports vary as to the number of
birds. From the country about Gus
sons come reports that partridges are
more plentiful than for years, while
from other districts nearer the city,
formerly good shooting grounds, come
reports that birds are not as plentiful
as in other years.

THE IRON RANGE LAND
DEPARTMENT OPENS HERE

The land department of the Duluth
& Iron Range railroad has decided to
open an Office in Virginia, from which
all of its rapidly growing business in
this section will be looked after. D..
M. Cole was in the city Wednesday ar
ranging for the opening of the Office,
and found that at the present time
desirable Office rooms are hard to Sc
cure here. The local Office will be in
charge of H. D. Cole, his brother,
who has much experience in the real
estate business, thoroughly believes
in the future of the farm lands of this
section and is business man of the
aggressive type who will be welcome
in Virginia. The Iron Range, is adver-
tising all its lands in this section ex-
tensively and Virginia is naturally
coming in for its full share.

GREAT NORTHERN is TO
MAKE IMPROVEMENTS

Unofficial reports are to the effect
that the Great Northern is shortly to
make considerable improvements to
its Virginia depot property. The
present depot is to be moved back
even to the paving and the team track
moved to the north of the building,
while additional warehouse facilities
are also contemplated. The Great
Northern is making something of a
bid for Virginia freight business and
the new warehouse will enable it to
give better service than at present.
The depot will probably be consider
ably improved while the other changes
and work is going on.

WIFE BEATER GETS A
FINE THIS MORNING

Steve Dasovich, who has success
fully been going on the theory for
some time that a man has a perfect
right to whip his wife, was taught
otherwise in municipal court this
morning through the medium of a
fine and costs totaling $27.50 imposed
by Judge Carey. Dasovich, accord
ing to the tale unfolded in court, in a
fit of anger last night began to Jug
gle things like pals, pots and skillets
in the direction of Mrs. Dasovich.
The court gave him straight talk,
but Dasovich stood aghast when the
fine was announced and was evidently
deeply touched.
