Extension Agricultural Eng
ineer Visits the County
By County Agent A. R. Chase

Prof. Crane of the Washington State
College Extension Service spent Mon
day and Tuesday with the Comfy Agent
in going over some flooding irrigation
projects. There are several Thousand
acres in Grant County that can be irri-
gated by using the winter flood waters
and it is planned to develop these pro-
iects in larger scale.
Several farms are already developed
in Grant county under the flooding sys-
tenn and there are large tracts still
waiting development. The farm of Mr.
Bennett three miles above Wilson Creek
which consists of several hundred acres
already under irrigation by this meth
cd, was visited. Mr.. Bennett has one
of the finest alfalfa farms in the North
west which he has reclaimed by the
spring flooding system and it is found
that many other projects of this kind
in the county are feasible.
The Maritime. community which has
over 1000 acros of such flooded lands a.
valuable was also inspected
| Mr.. Crane intends to spend severa
days in the county next year.

GUNNisoN ROTARY HAS 100
PER CENT MEETINGS IN JAN.

The Rotary Club meeting Monday
was largely devoted TO accounts Of
the charter presentation at Paonia last
week Wednesday. Rotarians VIM. /.
Jones, Samuel Quigley, N. v. Napier
and Grant rutland were representa-
tives from Cunnison, and related the
very clever stunts put on BY different
clubs and the good time enjoyed. Re-
turning, the train was delayed at Del
tn Thursday, and the Gunnison and
Montrose members were hurried in
cars to attend the Rotary luncheon at
that city during the wait at the sta
ton.
Much amusement was created at the
luncheon Monday, by the presentation
by Harry Fogg of birthday bouquet
of handsome carnations to Rufe Sar-
son, who, however, insisted that his
birthday came in June, when he would
expect another bouquet at that time.
This made the fourth 100 per cent
meeting of the Gunnison club for JAM,
a 100 per cent month, or at the head
OF the list of 1900 Rotary clubs in
North America. John Hogan and Ro-
tartan Lee w. Burgess of Grand juno

than ever, according to Dow Will

this year. The dates have been fixed

event. In selecting the dates, Direc-
tor Williams said careful thought
had been given this part of it, in
order not to conflict with the work
of the farmer 1t comes just before
potato digging and after the grain
has been cut.
Already 100 Indians in all of their
war paint and feathers have been Sc
cured, which guarantees the success
of this end of the affair, and negotia-
lions are under way for the securing
of some of the best riders, and buck
ing horses in the intermountain

WORLD GROWS SMALLER

A convict, who escaped from the
Idaho penitentiary few weeks ago
has just been picked up at Valley
City, N. D., with car he had stolen
at Miles City, Mont.
A pup named Toodles lived at
Grand Junction, Iowa, visited the
tourist camp in that town frequently
and one evening it failed to return
home. The lady who owned the pup
had a sister touring the west, and
wrote to her to look out for Toodles.
Last week the sister "re-possessed"
Toodles at the Twin Falls tourist
camping travelling with Massachu-
settles party.
The following item is now going
the rounds OF the press of the
country to make Toodles famous:
TWIN FALLS.-The adage that
the world is growing smaller was
verified at the tourist park Thursday
evening. Mrs. Clarence Shook of
Grand Junction, Iowa, missed her
little dog, Toodles, which was in the
habit of going to the tourist park
near her home, and she thought that
some traveller had stolen him, so she
wrote to her sister, Mrs. Egli, who is
touring the west, to look out for him.
Mrs. Egli and family arrived in Twin
Falls Wednesday evening and estab-
lished their camp at the north end of
the park. Soon afterward a car
bearing a Massachusetts license tag
rolled in and began to unload
nearby. About the first thing to|
come out was Mr.. Toodles. A few
inquiries established the fact that
the Massachusetts party had camped
in the park at Grand Junction at the
time the dog disappeared. Mr.. Egli
claimed the dog and took possession
Of him, and the Massachusetts party
pulled out for Oakland, Cal, early
morning.
