SNAKE RIVER BED FIRM
Engineer Says Basaltic Rock viii
Support Almost Anything

That the bed Of the Snake river will
afford splendid firm foundation for
he erection of fridge, an irrigation
6sm or any other construction reuuir
ing solid base, is indicated by the re-
suits of the test borings just complet-
ed by the state engineers, who We're
making examinations for the plans OF
the Snake river bridge. These borings
have now all been completed and a
report sent in to Olympia, according
to Engineer Hamilton, who was here
today.
A basaltic rock formation or 'bed-
rock" was found about % feet below
the bed of the river. 1t was charac-
teristic of the gravel and rock forma-
ton of that section, but ample for
foundation purposes. Some big hunks
of granite, intended for the Northern
Pacific bridge piers, but left in the
river, We're found by the boring crew.
Engineer Hamilton further states
that the plans will be completed at
Olympia in few days time and that
bids would probably be called for in
about a week.
He further stated in answer to a
query that the engineers did not use
the Burbank ferry for boring work,
but that the ferry simply broke down
and was out of commission for a time
on that account -Walla Walla Bulle-
tin.

ANOTHER MOVE
in RANGE FIGHT
Horse Heaven Land Owners ask
that 2SS Square Miles be put
into Herd District

Prosser, Wash, July pa petition
has been filed with the county auditor
by E. d. Mineah and other land own
ers praying the county commissioners
to establish very large herd district
in the center of the famous Horse
Heaven country. The boundaries of
the proposed district are twenty-four
miles long by twelve wide and the
legal description of the land is: town.
ships six and seven, north, ranges
twenty-four, twenty-five, twenty-six
and twenty-seven, E. w. NJ, having
total area of one hundred and eighty
four thousand three hundred and twen-
ty acres. If this petition should be
granted that hitherto equine paradise
would cease to be available for free
range for cattle and horses and the
stock men who have been using it for
many years would be driven out of
business.
1t is believed that the filing of this
petition is the latest move of the
sheep men who have been seeking to
secure this valuable range district for
the exclusive use of their flocks.
Early last winter the Yakima Sheep
company began taking up range horses
and cattle as estrays and suit was
brought by w. II. Switzler, as a rep
resentative Of the stockmen, against
that company. Recently Judge Truax
handed down an opinion in this case,
holding that the estray statute of
Washington could not be used to re-
strain range animals, when feeding
in the territory where they had been
placed by their owners, and that the
action of the Sheep company in TAX
ing up such animals as estrays was
without authority of law. His decision
was sweeping and utterly defeated the
Yakima Sheep company in its attempt
to corral the entire Horse Heaven
range.
When the case was tried at this
place several months ago it was felt
that it was battle royal between the
raisers of range sheep and those who
were interested in range cattle and
horses. A large number of each class
We're IN attendance at the trial and
the outcome of the suit was awaited
with great interest in all parts of the
state where the land is adapted to
range purposes.
M. M. Moulton and C. w. Bushnell
were the attorneys for Mr.. Switzler
and Snively & Bounds, of Yakima, rep
resented the Sheep company.
: At the regular meeting of the board
of county commissioners the attor-
neys for the stockmen defeated an
for herd district of small
er dimensions in another part of the
Horse Heaven territory. The petition
to in the opening paragraph |
of this article will come before the !
board on Monday, August 4th and
there is considerable speculation at
the county seat as to what their atti-
tude will be toward it.

I expect it was some struggle, but
art must have gone down for the full
count. Anyway. the Beans were on

in month or SO he'd turn him loose

the Beans moved back to town and
we heard hardly anything more about
'em.
I understand. though, that they sort
OF lost caste with their old crowd in
Greenwich village. Hallam tried to
keep up the blum for a while that he
wasn't wofkin' regular, but his friends
began to suspect. They noticed little
things, like the half pint Of cream
that was left every morning for the
Beans, the fact that Hallam was put
tin on weight and gettin' reckless
with clean collars. And finally, after

son discovered him in his old rig.

slummin' party by a club friend of
Mr.. Roberts who'd heard of Hallam

She was Miss Mae Collins of Kansas

Her particular bunch on this occa-

she. i've always wanted to be done

away enthusiastic.
Then she don't come any more. For
a week she stalls him OF and finally
tells him fiat that posing as Psyche
bores her. Besides. she's just start
ing south on a yachting party. The
portrait? Oh. she doesn't care about
that. She hadn't really given him q
commission. just told him he might
paint her. And he mustn't bother her
by calling up again. Positively.
So Hallam hits the earth with a dull
thud. He reports back ON the adver-
tisin' job and groans every time he
thinks how much he spent on tho
in. that's all. But he finishes up the
Psyche picture durin' odd times. He
even succeeded in unloadin' it on some
dealer who supplies the department

Then an odd thing happens. At tho

Hallam has . bright little thought.
