Ditch Completed; Flume
Construction Underway; 25
Men on Job

Water will probably be turned
into the ditch of the Columbia Ir-
rigation district Saturday, or not
later than Sunday, this week, ac-
cording to w. C. Muldrow, mama
ger. The water was turned out on
Friday night. when a break occur
red about 10 miles above Kenne-
wick in the middle of flume one.
The break happened sometime
between $3.50 o'clock in the eve
ming, at which time a ditch walker
went by the place of the break and
found conditions all right, and
1870 o'clock at which time the
warning of the break came in. 1t

been caused by a rock or a land
slide from the face of the cliff, $50
feet high, above the flume.
When the water drops one-half
inch in the ditch, and electric bell
rings in the patrolman's house.
The water was turned out at the
waste ditch about one-fourth mile
above the break.
A section of flume, 100 feet long,
had to be removed. The flume
where the break occurred is 5000
foot flume, semi-circular wood
stave flume about IL feet in dia-
meter. The water washed a hole
80 feet deep where the break oc-
Cured.
A pile trestle, which had to be
constructed, was completed We'd
nesday night and flume construc-
ton is underway. A crew of 25
men are working on the job.
The slaves which had to be mill
ed in Seattle were rushed through
and an eight-ton truck load was
started from Seattle. The driver
had permit to pass through the
mountains and drove % hours to
reach Kennewick early Wednesday
morning.

HORSE HEAVEN
HILLS GREEN
WITH WHEAT
Good Stand Shows Over Vast
Non-Irrigated District; Hy-
brid, Turkey, Bart Planted
on Williams Ranch

If YOU want to feast your soul
on the beauties of spring, trip TO
the Horse Heaven country is sug-
gested. Vast expanses of undulat-
ing hills, some brown with the even
upturned earth of summer fallow;
others a vivid green of sprouting
wheat unroll into the blue horizon
as far as the eye can see. Wild sum
flowers with their yellow blossoms,
blue lupine bursting into blossom
and nodding bluebells paint bits
of color along the road side. Here
two spans Of horses, one with
nineteen stalwart animals, the 9TH
er with nine, pulling the right laps
for summer fallow come to rest
atop a hill and are silhouetted
against the billowy white clouds
as if the vigorous strokes of Rosa
Bonheur had painted them against
the sky.
And this is the country which
produced last year about 100, 900
bushels of wheat. This land is non
irrigated and grows a wheat which
is high in gluten content. While
it will averabe about Is bushels to
the acre, it has been known to pro-
duce as much as 46 bushels to the
acre in exceptional years.
C. S. Beightol, wlo farms the
four sections in this district, which
are owned by Carl Williams, tells
that in eight years he has been
on this place that only one year
has been poor one. This year,
100 acres are now planted in
Hybrid, Turkey, and Bart wheat.
Last year the land, which is now
in summer fallow, yielded 1850
sacks of wheat.
Although the wheat is late this
year, due to the prolonged cold
spell this winter, there is good
stand, according to Mr.. Beightol.
Ordinarily the. spring wheat IS
sown the middle Of February, but
this year it was not planted until
the latter part of March. The snow
which covered the ground during
the cold months protected the fall
wheat.
Wind, which swerls and blows
and even shifts the soil itself, is
the worst enemy of the dry land
farmer in this district. bitches
much like those used for irrigat-
ing purposes have been dug side
ways to stop the effect of the
blows and the farmers say that
thew have proved most effective in
checking the results of the wind.
The weather-beaten boards of
the homesteader's shacks, which
still stand in the hills, give mute
testimony of the hardihood of the
Iearly pioneers of this section, which
the" wild Irishman," Jimmy Kim
ney, one of the cattlemen of the
early days, is supposed to have
named "Horse Heaven" The tale is
told of one winter of severe cold
and SHOWS during which many of
the cattle died and it was at this
time that Jimmy was wandering
through the hills and came on some
cattle who had lived through the
storm in the shelter of the hills.
He exclaimed "this must be Horse
! IJo,,,o,,v ond the name raYoainad
ever since.
