ENGINEER CHASE INSPECTS
IRRIGATION PROJECT
Will Determine Rights to Use OF
Waters OF COwiChe River, in
Yakima Valley.

State Hydraulic Engineer Marvin
Chase has returned to his office from
Yakima, where he has been for the
last two weeks attending meeting
of citizens of the Cowiche creek viciu-
ity to determine relative rights to use
of the watrs of the Cowiche, a tribu-
tary of the Yakima river.
Eighty-seven witnesses were called
to testify in the case and LILO pages
of testimony was taken, which will be
gone over by the state hydraulic en-
gineer and later sent back to the su-
perior court of Yakima for approval.
Upon the filing of the petition,
which was signed by more than $50
sitizens of the Cowiche country,
claiming the right to divert waters of
the creek, it became the duty Of the
state hydraulic engineer to prepare a
statement of the facts and maps of
the locality under investigation and
file the documents with the Superior
court. After the hearing, wherein
exceptions to the engineers report
have not been filed, the court will
enter a decree determining rights of
the parties according to the evidence
and the report of the engineer.
Mr.. Chase will leave on August 81
for Walla Walla, where he will attend
a similar hearing on the determina-
ton Of the relative rights to use of
the waters of Doam creek.
In 1855 the late Governor Miles C..
Moore owned farm in the vicinity of
this creek. His property was irrigated
by the waters of the creek and since
that date there has been no determi-
nation of the rights to the water. Re-
Gently persons living near Doam creek
petitioned for a hearing on the mat
ter.

ALASKAN PACKERS
KILLING SALMON INDUSTRY

Disregard Efforts to Propagate

Mr.. Arthur Jack who recently re.

information relative to the salmon
industry which he states is rapid,

money about, that is all. Once in a
while it is handy, but more often It
makes hard feelings.
The St. Lazaire Station, at which
we entered Paris, may have been IA
bit disordered, but the Lyon Station,
to which we went to get our tickets
for GrenOble, was a cross-section of
chaos. I've forgotten how many mil
lions of people there are said to be
in Paris, but they all seemed to b.
there, and wanting to be somewhere
else, at once. In the great main
lobby which runs the length of the
station, masses of men were surgins
this way and that. Fat Frenchmen
were wheeling their own trunks
around on station trucks; the porters
seemed unable to cope with the stu.
alton. Thousands of people were
waiting, yet there was not room for
more than dozen to sit down in the
whole building.
But my first real taste of French
railway organization came when l
started to get our tickets. We had
half fare vouchers, sent to us by the
University of Grenoble, for the trip
from Paris, but we had to pay our
fare and have slips pasted onto the
vouchers. There were dozens OF
ticket windows in the station, but all
reduced fare vouchers had to be
handled at one window. Half the
people on the road seemed to be trav-
cling on reduced fares. stood in
line a full hour and half before
got to the window. 1t wasn't en-
tirely because there were so many
people. don't think there were

was evidently working by the hour,

1T took the last one to get through.
and guess how many caught their
trains.
We had expected to get seats re-
served on the train, or even places in
the sleeping car, since we were plan
ming on taking a night train. But We
found that sleepers were only for
first class passengers. We were sec
ond. We also found that seats coul1
be reserved only by those who paid
full fare.
There are three evening trains
which will get one to Grenoble by one
route or other. We started half an
hour before the first one left, and we
saw them off. The usual procedure
was about like this: as soon as the
cars started to back in, people started
slimbing onto them. The platform
was damned with people. Half the
salts. including the second class ones,
were reserved. The only way to get
third class seat was to go through
the window. We even saw women
with suit cases going in that way. We
were pushed, jostled, almost tramped
under foot, but we never got near
free seat. Once a Frenchman trid

He was very polite. and gave me

able to do so much as swear in a
language. But l like good manners
It is so comforting to feel that II
you are going to be walked upon
that it will be done courteously and
in accordance with the best usage.
Having done our duty by the even

to bed. 1t wa snow about eleven
o'clock. How we got to Grenoble

Grenoble, France, Aug. Z, 1920.

Grenoble, France, Aug. I, 1920.
To anyone who loves adventure
and uncertainty. can recommend a
French railway journey. We start
cd on our travels from Dieppe to
Crenoble last Saturday. The first %
miles, until we got to Rouen, were all
right except that we had fiat wheel
under us. But that is a little dis
comfort to which everyone is used by
this time. At Rouen we found that
the train with which we were to
make connection was the boat train
from Havre. Every compartment
was jammed with people, and the cor
ridor with their luggage. l stood in
the corridor the whole way, and my
wife would have had to do the same
had it not been for young English
man who gave her his seat. This
man and his companion turned out
to be going to Grenoble also.
We had registered (checked) oui'
trunk to Paris. When we got there
no one seemed to have any clear idea
as to where it was to be found.
While our friends held taxicab, l
searched the whole station with a
porter who looked and acted like
Charlie Chaplin. We went upstairs
and downstairs on the run half a
dozen times, and finally found it
where do you suppose?-on a truck
at the door of the baggage room. No
one had thought Of looking in such

Give Your Tires Attention.

"Give the tires on your car Sthe
same attention you give the motor
and other parts, and you will see
what a difference your mileage rec
ords will show" That is the state
ment L. Y. Clark. sales manager OF
the Kelly Tire company, made. The
Kelly Tire company distributes the
Kelly-Springfeld tires in Thurston
county.
ut seems that the car owners who
should be saving are the ones who
usually are the most careless" said
Mr.. Clark. "Owners Of Fords, Chew
rolets and other light cars. seem to
think very little Of under-inflation or
injuries from skidding, and leave IT
60 so long as they just get their guar
anteed mileage.
"Some car owners think this just
enough, il they get the guaranteed
mileage, but not so with the expe-
rienced user Of Kellys. Kellys on
Ford. with proper care and treat
ment. will easily give $4,000 miles
and some have gone as high as 81, 755
miles within our own territory. That
is what every car owner should ex-
pect from every tire he buys. We set
our guarantee to cover all the abuses
but it in no way means the maximum
mileage.
Every owner is entitled to the
full mileage and we always tell our
customers what precautions should
be taken to produce such. Take, for
instance, if your tire is cut in some
way or another. oG and get 1t vui'
canized Immediately. Get the full
value from your tires-that is what
you pay for"

Protect Our Forests

One.of the most important problems
requiring attention in the Northwest
is protection OF forests against fire.
It has been stated that the answer
to shortage of raw material and high
lumber prices lies in growing more
timber. In the Northwest growing
timber requires only two things. fra
protection and revision of tax laws SO
they will not place burdensome
yearly tax on crop requiring 100
years to reach maturity.
I In no section Of the country have
private owners Of timber expended
[auch sums or effort In fire protection

does timber and, the lumber indus
try pay such large proportion Of the
taxes. ~

lection, whereas the four states spent
