SPLENDID WORK
OF IRRIGATION
IN WASHINGTON
SEATTLE, Feb. 17 (by Associated
Press).—Water, mostly from the high
Cascade mountains, ditched and
flumed to the eastern plains below,
has made over 250,000 arid Washing
ton acres fertile and has increased
their value at leasjt one hundred times.
"Washington Is away ahead of
other Northwest states In irrigation
matters,” declares T. B. Hill, secre
tary of the state development bureau
of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce
and an authority on land settlement
and irrigation matters. “This is due
to several reasons, the main one be
ing that we have studied irrigation
thoroughly and have treated it as a
big business.”
Records on file in Mr. Hill’s office
here show that the Yakima valley, a
great area in Central Washington,
probably contains more completed ir
rigation projects than any other part
of the state. Rough estimates show
about 200,000 acres of the valley are
under irrigation.
Private ditches in other parts of
Washington supply water to many
acres, in the Wenatchee country, the
Walla Walla section, the Spokane val
ley, the Okanagon valley, and other
sections.
Central Washington land, before it
was irrigated, Mr. Hall estimates, was
worth from fifty cents to $10 an acre.
Now, this same land, having felt the
magic touch of water, has risen in
value fxou tu per acre, me
land was once used mainly for graz
ing. Now it produces crops worth
from $60 to $160 per acre.
Many irrigation systems in Wash
ington are projected. Greatest of all
the projects is the Big Bend, or Co
lumbia basin, to irrigate over 2,000,
000 Southeastern Washington acres
by taking water from the Pend
d’Dreille lake of Idaho and the Flat
head lake of Montana as reservoirs.1
The water would be dropped by grav
ity through a ditch from the lakes to
the soil.
Government and state money has
made much of the irrigation possible.
Eventually all the government irriga
tion schemes will be owned by the
water users, for the government’s
plan, in general, is to let the users
purchase the ditches and wafi?r1*lgtits
now controlled by the Federal Recla
mation Service.
Washington’s State Irrigation In
stitute, an organization of leaders in
irrigation work, has led the way in
Washington irrigation. Prominent
in the work has been E. F. Benson,
now state commissioner of agricul
ture and R. K. Tiffany, project man
ager of the Reclamation Service at
Yakima.

MUST DO BUILDING,
SAYS U. S. SENATOR
“Construction Is an essential in
dustry and, therefore, a prerequisite
to all normal business development,”
declared Senator William A. Calder,
of New York, in an address before the
recent meeting of the National Fed
eration of Constuctlon Industries at
Atlantic City.
The increasing shortage of buildings
of all types, he pointed out, consti
tutes a potential demand for construc
tion. Such adverse conditions as the
cost of labor and materials and the
timidity of investment capital are off
set, he believed, by the necessity for
immediate housing for a large per
centage of the population who are
suffering not only by the high cost of
living induced by the building short
age but also in efficiency and morale,
and by the encouragement which the
government is giving building.
Government construction, however,
the Senator said, alone can constitute
but a small proportion of normal
building and will not bring the in
dustry back to its usual position in the
life of the community. It is necessary,
he asserted, to encourage private
building, which, as rapidly as pos
sible, shall take over surplus labor
and material and establish the in
dustry on a sound economic basis.
t Senator Calder declared that at
present there is little or no shortage
of labor, and he warned his hearers
that the country will remain in a state
of arrested development unless the
building industry .not only resumes
normal activity but alsa in the next
two or three years produces an addi
tional amount of construction equal to
that which has been deferred during
the war.
The Division of Public Works and
Construction Development has been
formed in the Department of Labor to
assist in the revival of building.

NO AMERICAN MAIL
FOR GERMAN RESIDENTS
COBLENZ, Jan. 14 (by mail).—
Thousands of residents of Coblenz
have relatives or friends in the United
States, and during the first few weeks
of American occupation there was a
line of Germans every day at the
army postoffice with letters for those
across the Atlantic. The Germans had
gained the false impression that they
could communicate with people in the
United States by the use of the army’s
mail service.
The residents of Coblenz and other
towns in this vicinity continued to
postofflce each day in such numbers
stream into the United States branch
that eventually, at the request of the
authorities, notices' were published in
the German newspapers explaining ,
that no German mail was being re
ceived for the United States. Ameri
cans of the army of occupation are
not allowed to use the German mails
for communication with enemy sub
jectg residing either within or with
out the occupied zone.
WAR HAS TAUGHTUSE
OF MEAT BY-PRODUCTS
GREAT FALLS, Mont., Feb. 17 (by
Associated Press).—Not only has the
war with its attendant high prices of
food commodities had the effect of
cutting dowW the amount of garbage
in this city, but because of its value
as stock feed and for other purposes
relatively a small amount of it is per- :
mitted to go to waste.
There has been a decided decrease
in the amount of garbage handled by
the city, according to William Shea,
sanitary commissioner, but what is
available is in such great demand with
stock feeders that its collection is
pnrri'pd fin in miirh ninrp intpnftiflnd
fashion than before. The result has
been, Mr. Shea said, that there is no
waste of food value in this city at
present.
The local packing plant makes care
ful collection of fat trimmings from
butcher shops of the city, and these
are rendered into lard, or they are
tried out by the butchers themselves.
This latter also is due to advancing
prices, and it is estimated that 1500
pounds of lard monthly are saved by
the butchers from this source. It is
estimated by Mr. Shea that Increased
frugality by hotels and restaurants
in the use of fats because of the war
scarcity will account for a saving of
some 600 pounds additional monthly.
Matter impossible to be utilised for
other purposes is worked up into
fertiliser by the packing plant here,
which produces some 12,000 pounds of
fertiliser monthly.
