Last Sunday Courier reporter in
company with A. F. Brown, H. A.
Bier and Phil Bier. make trip to what
is known as Strawberry Island. This
Island is located in the Snake river at
point about four miles south of Pasco
and is about twenty-five acres in ex-
tent. 1t is owned by Messrs. Livesly
and White who reside in cottages in the
beautiful grove of fruit and ornamental
trees located on the highest point and
near the center of the island. The
principal attraction that makes a first
visit to the island interesting is the
irrigation plant. This is really some
thing unique in the power line, 1t con-
sists of large scow anchored near the
bank of the river on which are SUBJ
merged in the water and operated by
the current. Mr.. White informs us
that while they were using only three
and half horse power the machine
was capable of developing sixteen horse
power on five-mile current. The
water from the pumps was carried
to the irrigating canal through pipe
line. The island is thoroughly irrigated
by this method and is one of the best
cultivated farms in this section. The
farm contains one of the largest straw
berry gardens in the valley, and that it
is productive IS proven by the fact that
from it this year were marketed $3.50
worth of Strawberries. The proprie-
tors have spent considerable time and
much money in improving the place
and have succeeded in making it an
ideal spot.

If DR.. H. M. Cannon has a hobby,
that hobby is good roads, and it is
habitual with him, not to expend his
energies in the expoundine of theories,
but in the practical application there
of. His latest achievement is on
north Delaware street, where, under
his directions, the block running north
from Pine street has been scientifical-
ly oiled and transformed into as fine
a piece of street as we have in the
city. DR.. Cannon describes his
method as follows. First, five bar
rels of a No. l road oil were sprayed
into a dust mulch, and the street was
then dragged. After the surface had
become thoroughly saturated with
the oil, the steam roller was brought
into play and the street rolled until
packed hard and smooth. The block
now presents the appearance of a
finished boulevard and the surface
seems as hard and firm as paving.
Apparently it will stand the most Sc
we're weather and traffic. The 5 bar.
rels of oil cost approximately SIS
which cost will be reduced by re.
bate on return Of the barrels Of about
| 81 each.
