County State bank at Harlem, has
filed suit in the district court at

lem merchant, asking $3.50 dam
agse for SANDER. The suit is said to
result from the time of the robbing

stated in his plea that some one else
could have committed the deed
that the cashier could just as we'll
have done it, and it is alleged that

VALLEY GETS MILLION in
IRRIGATION IMPROVEMENTS
Big Reservoir Will Provide Against
Failure of Water for
Projects

Approval by congress Of appropria-
ton of $79S,000 for the Yakima pro-
ject of the reclamation service, to-
gether with $S15,OOO appropriated for
irrigation of the Yakima Indian reser-
walton, means the expenditure by the
government of $1,113,0O0 in the Yaki-
ma valley during the fiscal year Of
1917, says the Spokesman-Review.
Included in the item Of $79S,000 is
$546,000 for storage construction at
the headwaters of the Yakima and the
estimate of the secretary Of the in
terror is that when the work thus pro-
vided for is completed water supply
for the irrigation of 100000 acres in
the valley will be constantly available
against any failing of the natural
flow of the streams from which the
water for irrigation is diverted.
OF this total 10000 acres are I'M
der the Sunnyside project, all south
easterly from Union Gap extending as
far down as Benton City; $4,000 acres
are under the T etor project westerly
from North Yakima ard the remaining
storage is for the Wapato and Kittitas
projects not yet completed, or lesser
diversions.
Plans contemplate the completion
of work at Lake Keechelus this sea-
son, completion of clearing of the Ka-
ches reservoir site so that its full ca
pacity may be utilized and some work
at Gle Elum, where there is at pres
ent only crib dam.
