BUM HERALD -CMA WASH. DEO.S7.ItW Business Mtnsger. 'Advertising rate ai-plication, car II 50 sis Three SO OFFICIAL RAPLR OF THE CITY. There remains but live more in wluh to tho water rights question before the gov-, ernment option on the Sunnyslde canal have expired. These few will carry with Ihom "a ate" rests the future great-! ness of the Yakima valley.

Every effort is being put forth to bring this Batter a successful close. We ran not afford to let this op-j portttnity slip away from us. Much been done by irrigation In this! valley, and much remains to be accomplished The vast possibilities are beginning to dawn. Twi'tr. rears ago, fields that are now bringing forth fruit of all in great abundance, lands arc now selling for as much as lo $700 per acre (fruit lands), or even more presented a barren desert waste of country, and no hopes cou'ii then be entertained for such a magnificent future, such marvelous development, pis greets the eye of the tiiurist today.

All tfceae conditions have been iboiit private irrigation, but there is a rest country surrounding up- oi, all sides which yet remains undt i projects that are too great to be undertaken by private corporations The government is to undertake on irrigation large magnitude for lis; Irrigation These conditions have rheir project carries with it certain conditions that iiiusl lie complied with in order to obtain government iN-en presented to the people of the in all the phases from which the quest ion may lie viewed. The most vit.tl. and absolutely necessary oondi'ion. is that the water appropriates first settle among disputes concerning the water rights in ibis valley. When this is done, the next twenty years will bring forth greater results, will treble the population of North Yakima, ami show the benefits of govepnmen' irrigation The Beattle I.

in an editorial of Friday, says that the action of the neretory of the interior in can-1 celling entry of the Carey' selection la a hold-up pun) that it is done to deprive -t state of $500,000 in that some one el.se may ffat ii. Tin- I goes on to say that' the le ot Yakima have been and as tthe completion of the Yakteia Irrigation project is more to v- than Hie matter of half a million dollars Is to the people of, the state that we are clamoring to have the state release Its; claim and conciliate the officers of the reclamation service. We do take: the stand that the state should re- 1 leaoe its claim, but it should also be remembered that the state loses absolntely nothing by doing as the; amount of money that will be spent in tin- Irrigation work as a result of this action will more than com-, pensa'e not only Yakima valley the people of the entire state, for the claim given up and the permanent result obtained by this work will be a source of wealth to the state for all time to come. Of six millions of acres put upon the market by t.he state of Texas on the first of the month, homemakers have already taken about a million at prices ranging from five to ten the minimum of a dollar an arre fixed by the state land Louis Republic. And yei these Texas lands are bi-ler than the greater part of millions of acres, or flung away by the Doited States In the last three years gfther upon liogus homestead entrim or timber land claims or upon who paid the $1.25 or $2 per acre fixed by our absurd land No better? Those lands have mostly no eseept mich as is fit only for flrewood; while much of the land flung away an above Is heavily timbered, the alone being worth from $6 to $75 per acre.

This sale abundantly verifies the of the Pioneer Press' assertionlast Thursday, tbat every deficit in the national revenues could be made good, and more, by a sensible revision of our land laws. SCHOOL FOR FARMERS. The Washington State College at Pullman has issued a circular to the farmers, calling attention to the fact that a short winter course in advanced agriculture will he given at that institution. There will be no charge for tuition or books, and all are welcome, as there are no requirements for admission. It Is especially desired that the young farmers attend and develop in this manner a broader view and come in touch early in their career with the principals of the advancing science of agriculture.

The following subjects will be taken tip for two weeks apiece: Crop Production, Horticulture, Live Stock Production and Dairying. Anyone desiring further information should address F. F. Nalder, regis-1 trar of ITie state college, or Prof. lE.

K. Elliott of the agricultural department of the college. The Pasco Express says plainly that the people of Franklin county jhave been clearly "bunkoed" in the matter of the Palouse project, and I pronounces II "dead," with a decided emphasis. It now advises the people to get together and come to some understanding whereby private capital will be induced to take up the work of irrigating some of the lands. Capital is in sight, and the only barrier in the way is the fancy price at which the land is being held.

There is wisdom in the advice given the Express. The people should i not bo satisfied to wait for federal Irrigation, but should listen to any reasonable proposition by private i capital to build its canals. There is little doubt but that In time to come the government will control the water supply and canals of the country, but It takes years to formulate and put into action the yards of red tape Incident to the pccompltshment of such tasks. In the meantime lands which could be made to produce vast I wealth are left idle, and the growth and development of naturally rich i sections la handicapped by a few who through speculative instincts nave come Into control of the key to the situation. With a wealth of i choice land about her, Pasco remains as dead as the historic door nail, and will until it kills off a few ot the old mossbacks.

The faot that the dispatches from Washington in regard to the Carey selection proposition were misleading, has been proved by a telegram received today from Congressman W. L. Jones by the irrigation committee. This telegram says: "Carey matter not yet been submitted lo the secretary of the pertaining to the settlement lof the reservation progressing fine. As the secretary Is confined to his house by illness, the matter will not be finally settled for some fewdays to come.

The stand ti ken by Governor Meade shows that he has forgotten the faot that, at his recent election Yakima was one of the two counties that gave him majority His return for this compliment is to I attempt In every way to retard the best interests of the Yakima valley If this was done in the interests of the people of the stpite there could jbe no complaint made, but outside of the governor's political organ, the Seattle P. 1., no one pretends to I think that this is pi fact, The loss oi $5011,11011 to the state, as a corporation, certainly cannot be balanced wiili the gain of $15,000,000 to the aggregate wealth of the citizens of the state of Washington, whlchis a conservative estimate of the flnani cial result to he obtained by the government Irrigation projects In the Yakima valley. Chairman Fraser of the- irrigation committee, says that iislde from the great blessings to be acquired by the people of this valley under fhe Tietan project, there is a feature which we must not lose sight of, in the fact that endless litigation is in store for all water users along the Yakima river, unless the question is settled now. "These water rights must be settled between now and the first day of January," said Mr. Fraser.

Tom Lawson's "Frenzied Finance" has come to an end. This story, which has revealed the gigantic operations of the moneyed kings of Wall street, laid bare the manipulations of "Standard OH" and caused a general awakening so extensive as to have brought about an Investigation of life insurance methods, may be said to have accomplished much good for the American public.
