BEARS ARE KILIED
IN HMDWD
The two cub bears belonging to
Ed Harbers, of the commission meat
market, were killed by their owner
this morning, shortly after they had
emerged from their winter seclu
sion. This action was taken, Mr.
Harbers explains, because of the
fear 'that the bears would injure
some of the children attracted to
the reserve by the presence of the
animals. The bears were about a
year old and were not as gentle as
they were last summer.

TO MAKE ENDS MEET
LONDON’.-—To the long list of
odd means of earning; a livelihood
to which out-of-work former service
men have turned after vain search
for employment has been added that
of the professional jokesmith.
“A new, smart dinner story sent
nine consecutive weeks for one shil
ling sixpence,” reads the advertise
ment of one enterprising tale-teller
which is appearing in London news
papers. Critics of the enterprise
agree that the advertising joker
cannot be accused of profiteering.
It is estimated that 20,000 work
ers and their families have left Se
attle since last September, due to
a suspension of industrial activities
and opposition to unionism.

BE IRRIGATED BY
| GREAT PROJECT
_
WENATCHEE, Wash—Dreams of
I far-visioned pioneers who saw a
! mirage of wasted waters of the high
Rockies flowing over thirsty Wash
ington lands are to be realized if
the long-proposed Columbia Basin
project, said to be the greatest pro
ject of its kind ever conceived, is
carried through.
The proposal is to carry water
| from Idaho and Montana through
130 miles of lakes, canals and tun
nels to irrigate approximately 350
square miles of land lying in South
east Washington, in the “Big Bond”
of the Columbia river.
Engineers employed by a commis
jsion created by the Washington leg
j islature are at present going over
the immense scheme to determine its
feasibility^ The legislature author
ized the commission to spend $100,
000. if necessary, to investigate the
plan in all its details and to deter
mine its cost.
Water drained from approximate
ly 25,000 square miles of the Rocky
mountains will be used in the sys
tem. Aided by lakes and tunnels, a
great canal will carry it from stor
age lakes in Idaho to Rock Lake,
Washington, 30 miles south of Spo
kane, according to present plans.
The canal will then run west and
south to the Palouse, Pasco, and
Walla Walla districts, in the “Big
Bend” country. A network of small
canals and laterals wrill carry the
water onto the land, which at pres
ent receives only scant rainfall dur
|ing several months of the year.
Tn size, the project, it is said, ap
jproximates the total present devel
opment of all irrigation projects
under the United States reclama
tion service. The project, it has
been estimated, by irrigating the
jarid lands and by converting the
! “sagebrush into alfalfa,” will in

crease by more than one-half the'

be irrigated, it is figured, will sup
port a population more than double
the present population of the state.
The volume of water to be car
ried in the main canal will be ap
proximately 20,000 cubic feet per
second. A season’s run of the canal
would fill a lake 30 miles wide, 100
miles long and three feet deep.
