Looking for
Cheap Land?

Any land in the Upper Wenatchee
Valley is a good purchase at present

in the lower valley. At Peshastin land
is now selling for four times what it was
bought at four years ago. Ten years
ago land that sold for 5000 per acre
afterwards sold for $4,000. A small
investment in land in this vicinity is
better than bank account.

QUINCY VALLEY IRRIGATION
PROJECT AROUSES INTEREST
Promoter of Rival Project KnOcks-FaI-
lacy of His ObjeCtiOnl Shown
by Mr.. Ternent

Just as there were knockers when
Mr.. Seward paid seven million dollars
to Russia for Alaska, so there are now
knockers when it is proposed to make
100000 acres of practically unproduc-
tive land produce crop every year by
putting water on it. One hundred
thousand new population will be added
to the state inside of five years after the
water is turned on the Quincy valley
and one hundred and fifty million dol
lars Of taxable values will be added.
Mr.. Benson, connected with the
Nothern Pacific land department, re-
ceiver of the Hanford Irrigation scheme
and president of the Yakima Irrigation
Institute made an attack on the Quincy
project before the Spokane Chamber Of
Commerce.
No one knows" said Mr.. Benson,
whether the 100000 will pay for
the project or not. No one knows
whether it will cost $40,O00,000 or
$120,000,000. If they ever get water
enough on the land to make it pro-
ductive in 10 years from now it would
cost more to put in the necessary
drainage system than all the land and
the water right would be worth com
bined."
Out of his own mouth Mr.. Benson
convicts himself OF insincerity and reck-
less talking. After intimating that it
is doubtful if water enough can be got
ten on the land to make it productive,
he then says in ten years it would cost
more than the land and the water right
is worth to drain it. In the first place,
if they can't get enough water to make
the land productive why will it need
drainage. Then, having profted by
the experience Of the Yakima land
owners, the Quincy valley land owners
will not over-inigate their lands, and

PROGRESSIvEs ON RECORD
BY WORD AND PRINT OFFENDER
ACCUSED OF SPREADING PRO-
TRUST PROPAGANDA

New York, June 10.-A Pinchot
made public the text of the confiden-
tial letter he recently addressed to
Theodore Roosevelt, the members or
the progressive national committee
and other leaders, denouncing George
w. Perkins, Chairman uf the national
executive committee, as menace to
the party, principally because OF his
affliation with the United States
Steel corporation aud the Internation-
al Harvester company, two great
monopolies which have succeeded
most completely in exploiting the pub
lie and crushing organized labor"
The letter opens by declaring that
"a situation exists in the progressive
party which must be terminated be-
fore it can command general popular
support"
"The situation I refer to- Mr.. Pin
chot continues in his letter, 'is this:
"First-An element in out party
leadership, headed by George W. Per
kins favors the protection of private
monopoly in American industry, and
since the party formation has been
taking active steps to commit the par
ty to that policy,
"Second-The chairman Of the exc
cutive committee, Mr.. Perkins is ac-
lively opposed to recognition of labor
to organize and deal with capital
through labor unions, and has fre-
quently gone on record to this effect"
Mr.. Pinchot then goes on to say
the progressive party has placed it
self positively and definitely on rec
ord in opposition to Mr.. Perkins, and
adds that through the progressive
party's official bulletin, through pub
lie speeches and interviews, and in
pamphlets printed as progressive par
ty literature and distributed from the
party's headquarters in New York and
Washington, Mr.. Perkins has conduct
ed an extensive pro-trust propaganda
calculated to convince the party and
the public that the trusts are
useful and sacred institutions; that
those who attack them are bent
upon the destruction of all healthy
industry on large scale and finally
that the progressive party fully
agrees with him in these SVsFsdt AS
a result we have been placed 'inoqsa
false and fatal position"

NIT one team to seize upon players OF
another without regard to moral OF
legal obligations, we are going to un-
dermine the whole structure Of base
ball and the game will lose its hold
on the public"
This was the sentiment expressed
today by Attorney George W. Pepper
of Philadelphia, representing William
M. Killifer, catcher with the Philadel-
,phia Nationals, and the owners of the
team, when he stood before the Unit
ed States circuit court of appeals and
opposed the plea for an injunction to
prevent Killifer from playing with the
Philadelphia club, made by the own
ers Of the Chicago Federal league
club.
Attorney e. E. Gates, representing
the Chicago Federals, made the first
argument. He said Killifer told Pres
ident Gilmore and other officers of
the Federal league club he was free
to make a contract for his services
and was not in any manner bound to
the Philadelphia Nationals
Judge Dennison put the question,
Did not the owners of the Federal
league club know or the reserve
i .
clause in Killifer's contract?"
Attorney Gates replied: Even if
they had known of it, it was only gen.
eral knowledge and they still would
have the right to offer work to KILL
fer, inasmuch as he had told them he
was not under contract to any one
else
Silas Strawn of Chicago also spoke
in behalf of the Chicago Federals. At
the conclusion of the arguments the
judges announced they would take the
case under consideration and would
hand down a decision later.
