In a recent conversation with Mr..
Marvin Chase, the gentleman at the
head of the Whitestone irrigation pro-
ject, who had much to do with the
construction of the high line ditch at
Wenatchee, and who is recognized as
authority on irrigation matters, he
made the statement that amoung the
original owners of land under the We
natchee irrigation system, living on
the west side of the Columbia river,
only two retained ownership in their
land, improved the same and reaped
the reward for persistency and effort.
Not a single original owner of the
land on the east side of the river held
out to see their land producing fruit,
and the surface of the country under

fruitful Eden 1t required the injection

new class of land owners, new initia-

tage of the opportunities presented by

rich in productiveness. In few in

A dog was killed at Riverside Friday
last that was supposed to be suffering
with rabies. Much CONSERVATION has
been occasioned in various parts Of
eastern Washington by the knowledge
that coyotes have gone mad, have bit
ten stock and dogs and rabies have de-
veloped. Stringent regulations are be-
ing enforced in many localities and
every dog is required to be muzzled.
Failure to comply with this order sub
jects the owner of dog to very heavy
penalty. Oroville is blessed or cursed
with large number Of CANNES, good,
bad and indifferent, and upon further
investigation should it be determined
beyond doubt that the dog killed at
Riverside was afflicted with rabies the
muzzling requirements should be en-
forced here or a general slaughter in
augurated. There is hardly any afflic-
ton that could come to human being
more terrible than rabies, and better
that every dog in the county be sacri.
feed than that single individual
man, woman or child should be bitten
by mad dog.

VALUABLE PUBLICITY.

On another page is published in full
an article on the West Okanogan Irri-
cation system, written by MIR. ]. G.
Stevens, the engineer who was in
charge Of the work on behalf of the
land owners, and to whose zeal and
careful supervision the property own
ers providing the funds for construc-
ton are indebted for an exceptionally
fine piece of constructive accomplish
ment. This is the first technical de-
scription of the work performed that
has been published from the pen of a
man whose engineering knowledge
fits him for properly going into minute
details, and it appears in the Engin-
eering Record, Of New York city, the
leading and most influential engineer
ing journal in the country. The article
was illustrated with several views OF
the siphons and bitches, and outlines
of sectional portions of both flume
and siphon, which are especially inter-
esting to engineers, conveying to them
an exact reproduction Of the plans
and methods employed in carrying out
the work. What made the appearance
of this article in the Engineering Rec
ord even more important was that the
entire front outside cover Of the pub
lication was an illuminated view OF the
flume following the sinuous course OF
the Similkameen river The publication
of the article, in conjunction with the
prominence given it by the journal in
which it appeared, Is the greatest and
most extended publicity that the pro-
ject has yet received. In connection
with Mr.. Stevens article the Engineer
ing Record contained the following emf
torial calling direct attention to the
subject treated:
"If permanent construction had been
a prerequisite Of the West Okanogan
irrigation project, the system would
never have been built. That, In brief,
indicates the policy of the financiers
of that irrigation district. They wanted
to have an irrigation system. They
wanted to prevent land speculation.
They wanted action. They succeeded in
each of these objects. The project,
which is the subject of the leading ar
ticle in this issue, was laid out and
completed within year. The funds
available were known. Six hundred
thousand dollars was the limit of con-
struction cost. But limiting the expen- |
diture did not cause the details to be |
sighted. On the contrary, the best eff
forts of the engineers were directed
toward conservation of head and min
mum leakage and toward permanent
where it would have been |
wasteful to adopt any other kind. The
interests were safeguarded
md speculation was avoided while a
healthy if slow growth was assured"

is to repeat itself in the development
OF lands under new irrigation projects
we will have to look for present own
ers under the local irrigation system
to give way to new corners with more
ambition and vim, anxious to make the
best of prevailing opportunities. 1t is
sincerely hoped that the development
of the West Okanogan Valley Irriga-
ton District is not to see duplication
of the Wenatchee case, for that would
mean an almost complete change of
ownership in the valley and conse-
quently long delay in getting land in

some democratic Newspapers are il

Some democratic newspapers are in
clined to be facetious over the slip Col.
Harvey, the original discoverer of
President Wilson as available presiden-
tial timber, made in his calculations
when he assumed the role of prognos-
ticator as to results prior to the late
and disappointing election. The Col
onel earned some reputation as good
guesser when he predicted the election
of Wilson in 1912, although that cleo
ton turned out about as everybody
expected, and hence when he COM
menced prophesying the election of
Hughes early in the campaign there
were many inclined to bank heavily
upon his Judgment. And on the strength
of his record, the Colonel took his re-
putation as a guesser too seriously, as
he played 1t up pretty strong In the
publication over the editorial destiny
of which he rules, which left him open
to some INVITING. Yet. Colonel Harvey
was not the only man who was decid-
eddy off in his calculations just before
last November, or the only man who
has guessed wrong on the eve of gen.
eral elections during the past sixty
years. II memory is not at fault Mr.
Hitchcock, the chief mogul of the
democratic national committee, was
rather wild in his claims on the very
night of the election. He expressed
himself as cock sure of every state in
the Union giving Wilson majority
except, perhaps, Vermont. Going over
past history, there has not been an
election for president since 1860 that
the democrats have not prophesyed vic.
tory. Of course those claims before
election are all bluff, "full Of sound
and fury, signifying nothing" and
made to bolster up weak cause, yet
they go to show that Col. Harvey is
not in class by himself when II
comes to making mistakes as to the
way the cat is going to jump on elec-
ton day And when you come right
down to wire nails he was not so far
off, anyhow, not as far away from
the actual results as Mr.. Hitchcock.

The organization of the next house

Inc OrSanlzatlOn OF the next mouse
of representatives Is going to keep
some of the politicians guessing. 1t
will be made up of 214 republicans,
213 democrats, 2 progressives, pro-
hibitionist and l socialist. The latter
can be depended upon at all times to
flock by himself, but the prohi and the
progressive are an annoying and IN
accountable quality when 1t comes to
supporting or opposing partizan meas
lures. These four WELD the balance of
power, providing the members of the
[other two parties can be held in leash,
and the uncertainty of their position
is going to provide misery for the lead
ers of the tw&<hief parties. 1t will be
a very pretty tangle to watch for the

One of the most singular open let
ters to the public ever presented to
newspapers for publication was that of
the newly elected democratic joint SEN
ator which appeared in the Okanogan
Independent last week. The senator is
|forestalling any criticism that may
be made of his record in the senate by
promising to explain his actions after
the close of the session. which leaves
the impression that he is going to do
something that the public is expected
to find fault with. The new joint SEN
ator should not carry to the state cap
ital such an accusing conscience. So
far as he is concerned he will accom-
|plish very little that the public will
|either denounce or applaud. He will
be light weight in that body and in
such sad minority that his influence
will be nil. no matter if he has in con-
temptation an indulgence in a riot of
naughtiness.
