new IRRIGATION
SYSTEM PLANNED
Brewster and Pateros Launch
Movement to Water is, 1000
Arid Acres.

BREWSTER, Wash.-Plans have
been adopted by Brewster and Pat
eros whereby an irrigation system for
the two towns and vicinity can be
furnished water at a cost Of $50 an
acre, eliminating the Methow- Okano-
gan irrigation plan approved by the
state to irrigate the same lands at a
cost of $500 an acre. Brewster and
Pateros will share the expense Of con-
struction equally.
The plan adopted by the two towns
Is to erect a 60-fOot dam in the
Methow river at Black canyon, seven
miles north Of Pateros, tunnel through
the rocks to eliminate a costly flume
at this place and from there flume
five miles south toward Pateros,
where it would be dropped to lower
elevation and at the same time fur.
nish all he lectric power needed
in this section, thence to Brewster
Orchard flats.
The main system, without the lat
erals, will be approximately rs miles
long and will reclaim over $1,000
acres. Construction would mean the
immediate Investment of approximate
ly $4,000. Lumber fumes will be
furnished by he government forest
reserve near here, where sawmill
will be established. All labor shall
be done by landowners, who shall re-
ceive pay either in water or bonds
Of the new district. The landowners
shall contribute labor or teams, OF
both, as necessary.
Each landowner in the district has
pledged himself to raise his share OF
the initial $4,000 to construct at least
the first five miles Of the system,
when it would then become self-sup-
porting. The entire system, it is es.
timated, will cost $1,000,000.

ARTIFICIAL GAS
NEAR REALITY
Prediction That 1t Will Soon Sup.
plant Coal and Other Fuels
in General Use.

CHICAGO.-Artificial gas for fuel
heating requirements of the nation,
both in homes and industry, is an i'm
pending reality and a revolutionary
change in heating. as sweeping as
that which abolished the coal cook
stove from the city kitchen, Is under
way and will come just as soon as
the gas industry can overcome exist
ing problems, according to report
American Gas association.
The report predicted that the gas in
dustry will become the biggest public
service institution and coupled this
with the statement that the compan-
les serving the nation must prepare
themselves for gigantic building pro-
gram such as will permit it to take
on a billion dollars of new business
resulting from the great task of pro-
viding heat for American homes and
for industry. Complete disuse of solid
fuel in cities. doing a way with smoke
and CRIME and the annual fuel prob
lens were declared by the committee
to be in the offing.
Gas Competitive Fuel
I'VE can now, with all certainty,
look upon the time when gas business
will be the biggest of our public SER
vice institutions and take care Of the
fuel requirements in every city, town
and municipality" said the report sub
mitted by H. o. Loebell of New York,
chairman Of the Industrial fuel COM
mittee of the association.
with proper revision of rate and
service standards, coupled with the
rapid progress in the gas-making are
now under way, these things will be
possible, he report says:
| Entrance of gas in all competitive
fuel markets, with its possible com
plete utilization for heating purposes
by all industry of the nation.
"Its complete use for city heating
doing entirely away with furnaces and
stoves in the home or office building
just as the kitchen gas range did
away with the coal stove, eliminating
the worries attendant to coal supplies
or those resultant from dirt, smoke
or ashes. -

SAYS AUTO TRADE
IS AGAIN NORMAL
Olympia Man Says Business Not
Observation-Disclosures and
Repairs Demanded.

That the business tn automotive
equipment lines is practically back to
normal is the statement of Mr.. George
Hughson, of Olympia. whose organiza-
ton has been making a close study of
conditions as they pertain to the re-
pair, machine shops. ETC., Of the auto
motive industry In the western terri
tory. For the man who goes out
after it there is plenty Of business.
but the man who goes out not expect
ing to sell anything is not disappoint-
ed.
Mr.. Hughsou says that the trouble
with a great number Of people ia that
they are not yet over the orders that
were given to them during the war
period, and are comparing times today
with that period, instead Of normal
times.
There are more machines being used
today than ever before; there are
more repair and replacement jobs as
the machines are getting older and
wearing out numerous parts. The
demand for modern machinery that
will lessen the cost of labor on work
is rapidly increasing and firms who
conscientiously go after business are
not the ones VINO are complaining
about hard times.
Much comment is being made on the
Pacific Coast Automobile Equipment
exposition which will be held the lat
ter part of January and Mr.. Hughson
believes that this exposition will go a
long way toward getting the shop and
repair men to realize that times are
again normal

AMOUNT OF SNOWFALL
IMPORTANT IN TILLAGE

That the amount of snowfall in a
district is important in planning tillage
methods is one point made in the re-
cent Investigations of Max A. Mccall
and Henry F. Holtz, of the state agri-
cultural experiment station of Wash.
ington, as to dry farm tillage.
Evaporation is active during much
of the year and is especially important
in its effects on moisture conserva-
ton during the fall and spring." say
these authorities.
1.-The wide treeless plains least of
the Cascades) offer little obstruction
to the passage of winds which at GER
tain periods are almost constant. The
evaporation effect of these winds COM
plicates the moisture problem and the
blowing of certain lighter soil types
adds to the difficulties of tillage.
Temperatures vary over rather a
wide limit During each summer
there are periods when at some point
the temperature goes as high as 100
degrees F. or more, and winter tenn
peratures may go as low as 20 or 80
degrees below zero; but in either case
such periods are usually of short dura-
ton.
precipitation occurs chiefly In the
fall, winter and spring, and the sum-
mers are comparatively rainless. Rains
are Enthusiastically gentle, and are
seldom of great volume at any one
time. A portion of the precipitation
always occurs as snow, the proportion
ate amount having an important bear
ing on tillage methods.
'Tn this experiment" they continue,
fall blowing, either wet or dry, has
not given as good results as spring
blowing This is true both in soil
moisture content and yield. Nitrate
development. particularly for the late
fall blowing, is comparatively good In
the fall-plowed soil. Why yield has
not at least equalled that of the late
blowing is not entirely clear, but is
probably due to the fact that the par
ticular soil type tends to develop a
somewhat run-together condition when
worked up and allowed to stand over
winter. Even with very careful tillage
the following spring, the influence OF
this condition may be more or less
persistent At any rate, the result cor
responds to farm experience in this
district"

MODERN METHODS MAKE
|, POULTRY RAISING PAY

The low price of feed and the high
prices of eggs and poultry makes
good hens pay better than ever. There
is no business that is more profitable
according to the money invested OF
where returns come SO quickly as
poultry raising. A big per cent OF
our largest poultry houses doubled
their capacity within the last few
years but in spite of this demand for
poultry and eggs has increased many
times faster than the supply.
New methods, new ideas in equip.
ment, in housing, in feeding and in
poultry management all bring success.
All of the up-to-date houses are
equipped with electric lights. thus ad
ding about four hours to the day. This
makes the hen get off he roost early
these winter mornings and work for
her breakfast, for we all know that
the healthy, hungry, scratching hen is
the one that lays he golden egg.
Poultry men have long since decided
that it does not pay to have hen
sitting or raising brood that could
just as well be laying eggs. therefore
the incubator and brooder have be.
come indispensable to all poultry men
for this is the way to get chicks at
the proper time that will develop into
winter layers.
The sale of day-old chicks has in.
creased TO enormous proportions. says
r. H. Bowie of the Inland Seed com
pany We know of one firm in this
city that procured all they could local
ly and shipped in from other districts
10000 and then were only able to fill
per cent of their orders.
Accountants say that the nations
worth is based on a national inyen-
tory Of what the nation has and we
believe that the hen can do a large
part in helping the nation to render
a good financial statement.

Action for damages brought by Bar
