WATER FOR
THE AHTANUM
Organisation of Farmers Now Be
ing Perfected for Procuring
Additional Irrigation Supply
During the past few months the
people of the Ahtanum valley have
been quietly and rapidly forming a
co-operative association or company
for the purpose of securing a better
water supply for their farms.
The valley hitherto never has had
any form of organization of water
users and as a result the securing of
water for irrigation, stock and do
mestic purposes has '.een left to each
individual to work out for himself.
As a result in times past there have
arisen disagreements between the va
rious users of water and the pages
of the Superior court records bear
witness of the litigation caused by
these disagreements.
Cost Has Been Thousands
Thousands of dollars have been
spent by the residents of this fertile
valley in litigation and In one suit,
that of Benton vs. Johncox et al„
practically every oWner of property
taking water from the Ahtanum was
embroiled and found it necessary to
become a party to this suit to deter
mine the extent of his water rights.
The result of this legal battle was

only to make conditions worse than
they had been before as the owners of
farms having received vested rights
to the use of water have been perstst
ently called upon by reason of fail
ure of the water supply to resort to
I contempt of court proceedings against
those unlawfully diverting water from
the stream.
What Soars Have Shrown
Naturally personal enmities arose
out of these conditions, and It has
taken twenty or thirty years of the
conditions enumerated to demonstrate
to the people of this beautiful valley
that a solution of their difficulties was.
in a union of interests. (
Now the people of the valley pro- ,
pose to proceed upon the most en
lightened lines of Irrigation practice.
This recognises that In an irrigation
district there must be first of all reg
ulation and system and a combination
of interests. To make these things
possible and also to develop the hith
erto untouched water resources of the
valley the farmers have organised ana
legally incorporated a stock company
known as the Ahtanum Water Users'
association, with a capital Stock of ten
thousand shares. The total acreage
which will receive water from the
system of the company will not be
over eight thousand acres.
Authority in Trustees
The powers of the company are
verted in nine trustees who are nom
inated in nine districts. The work
of organization was begun the first of
November when the stock subscrip
tion canvass was begun. This has
resulted in the signing up of some
forty-five hundred acres of land by
contract. The success of the enter
prise is therefore already assured and
additional subscriptions are coming
In each day.
The Ahtanum valley was one of the

first valleys of the Yakima to bo se
lected for settlement by the early |
pioneers of the west. Settlers came
Into that section as early as the early
sixties. After the close of the war
of the rebellion there was quite «n
immigration to this section. Many of
the pioneers of the valley crossed the
plains in the regulation prairie schoon
er drawn by plodding oxen. Some
preferred to come west by the then
arduous sea voyage around Cape
Horn. After reaching the valley some
came Into the country by way of the
Ooldendale country and others came
through Snoqualmie pass. It is not
generally known that there sre num
bers of the present Inhabitants of the
Yakima \ alley that can tell of the
trail and hardships of the pioneer.
with the braving of unknown dangers
and the blazing of new paths through
the winderness. a country without
town, markets, or transportation fa»
duties.
Valley Is Long Settled
The Ahtanum valley was one of the
first settled valleys. It was here that
the pioneer could build his homo
along a flowing stream with an
abundance of wood and water, wild
hay and pasture for his stock.. Ho
had no need to raise the commercial
produce of the farm for there was
no demand, there being no markets.
He confined himself to raising stock
and could without excessive labor
readily, and by his own efforts divert
the water of the Ahtanum and lead 't
to his garden patch. It was because
of the ease with which water could
be diverted by individual effort from
the stream, that there was at no time
any organization for the building of
irrigation canals or proper division of
water.
Sonic oT the Difficulties
Under such a lack of system and
an insufficient water supply trouble
was Inevitable as soon as the amount
of land 'n cultivation exceeded the
acreage that could be properly wa
tered by the waters of the Ahtanum.
Added to the finally discovered
lack of water flowing in the creek at
the point where the stream emerged
from the timber clad mountains was
the fact that the water must traverse
three branches of the creek with a
total combined length of some fifty
miles with a gravelly, porous bed, and
through some two hundreds small
ditches before all the wants of the
farmers could be supplied.
Under these circumstances when
the water supply becomes scarce In
the latter part of the summer the
1 seepage losses have absorbed the
'greatest part of the water and there
•has been a great deal of illicit diver
sion of water.
Untapped Water Sources
During the past summer the farm
ers of the Ahtanum applied to the
county commissioners for the appoint
ment of a water commissioner. The
commissioners appointed an engineer
to Investigate the problem and to pro
vide for the proper distribution of
water. As a result of these investiga
tions the water users of the Ahtanum
have been able to secure Information
through which they will be alSle to
make plans to Cevelope the hitherto
untapped water sources of the valley,
and to provide for plans to provide
a full water Supply for every acre now
depending for .water upon Ahtanum
creek.
Present Developments
The physical features affecting the
expenditures for the company's sys
tem seem to be very favorable. It is
possible to recover part of the pres
ent underflow of the,creek at a rea
sonable expense. This expense would
be borne by the lands having an In
sufficient water right. The tost for
caring for all water supply would fall
on all lands alike. The valley has a
very decided fall from Tampico east
for fifteen miles. The elevation at
Tampico is 2116 feet and at the latter
point 1066 feet. As thecondults to be
constructed by the company would be
laid with the slope of the country a
very high velocity of the water will
result.
A Happy Combination
A part of the Ahtanum valley has
heretofore suffered from excessive sub
irrigation and it Is certain that with
the development of an adequate sur
face water supply will come the drain
age of part of the valley. Drainage
and irrigation seem here to be a hap
py combination as the drainage waters
can be utilized for irrigation In the
lower part of the water shed.
The company has a competent, en
gineer employed and the planning of
the water system will be well under
way by the first of the year. Many
have made the forecast that the wa
ter thus secured for the valley will
meany a heavy increase in the pro
duce shipped out and this will result
In a better stand an^ values on farm
lands.
Plan of Organization
The plan of organization contem
plates that the expense of develop
ing additional water supply shall be
borne by those lands having no pres
ent legal title to the water, and that
they will be directly benefited by this
Increase of water throughout the sum
mer season, to the extent of the wa
ter so developed. Through this pro
cess Imperfect title to water will be
changed to perfect titles.
Inasmuch as arid land without wa
ter suffers a discount in values and is
handicapped in the proper cultivation
of crops it may readily be seen how
such conditions here warrant the ex
penditure of a sum sufficient to cor
rect the deficiency.
Benefit Will Be General
The Illegal diversion of water will
be largely a matter of past history
when the developments planned are
completed. Not only will financial in
terests be benefited but social condi
tions In the Ahtanum valley will be
materially benefited also.
The organization has now assumed
such momentum that to Join in the
general movement has beooms i mat
ter of self protection to those hitherto
opposing progress
it is certainly a progressive move
and one which has the support of
every one interested In the welfare of
thin beautiful valley, t |

RUDKIN SUGGESTED
FOR PUBLIC BOARD
Former Resident of North Yakima
Spoken of as Successor to
John C. Lawrence
Friends here of John J. Rudkin, off
Kennewick, formerly of this city, will!
be greatly Interested in the following
regarding him which is from the
Kennewick Reporter:
"The Reporter has it from good
authority that John J. Rudkin, sec
retary and manager of the Northern
Pacific Irrigation company at this
place, is being strongly recommended J
by leading men throughout the Inland
Empire for appointment to the po
sition on the state public service comm
ission, made, vacant by the resig
nation of John C. Lawrence. It is
said that Governor Hay wrote to a
prominent North Yakima man. asking
him to recommond a man whom ho
knew to be fitted for the position. The
reply to the governor was that if he
Intended to consider fitness in filling
the position, and not to make the ap
pointment from a purely political
standpoint, the writer knew of no one
more admirably fitted by experience
and training to wisely carry out the
duties of this Important office than
Mr. Rudkin.
Rudkin is Too Busy
"The recommendation was entirely
unsought by Mr. Rudkin. In fact he
knew nothing of his name being men
tioned in connection with the appoint
ment until after a number of influ
ential men had recommended his
appointment. It Is not known what
the governor's intentions in the mat
ter are, but Mr. Rudkin states em
phatically that, while he appreciates
the efforts of his friends In his be
half, he could not afford to leave his
large interests to take public posi

would require all of hlB time.

"In mv Judgment." More said when
asked about the proposed expedition,
"no gas balloon of any type ever will
cross the occmii. Such attempts are
so foolhardy that there ought to be
SOmS way of stopping them. To
cross the ocean by means of the air
a machine will have to ascend he
> ond the six mile level to gel above
the storms. No balloon can do this.
The Intense cold at that altitude con
denses the gas and thereby reduces
Its lifting power, while at the same
time the sustaining power of the at
mosphere Is only one-fourth of that
at the earth's surface.
Moore admitted an aeroplane
might cross the ocean, but said If
one did the olapr-eul time probably
would be less than twenty-four "hours.
The weather chiefs letter to Vani
man said:
"The weather bureau would not be
able to Rilvisc any balloonist who de
sires to cross the ocean unless he
were able to use-end to altitudes yet
unattalned, and thereby pass beyond
the conflicting storm conditions that
exist below the six-mile level. It is
my opinion that there Is no possibil
ity whatever of your ship crossing
the ocean unless, as slated before,
you are able to ascend to tin altitude
of more than six miles and he able
to remain there for « period of at
least two days. It seems to tut* a

CHINA MOTHERLAND
OF MY FLOWERS
American Experimenters Try to
Adopt Some of Her
Wonderful Trees
China is much In the public eye
now with Its revolution and Its pros
pect of development it has been in
tho eye of agriculture, however, and
of bOtahfrStS of note, for a long time,
and it Is now generally conceded that
the- native heath of ninny of our com
monest and. loveliest bowers is China.
Ernest 11. Wilson, collector for the
Arnold Arhoretnni In Boston, the most
wonderful collection of trees in the
world, writing In the National tieu-
Kr.-iplilc Miigtv.-lne for November, says
that the early vsrlatlas of rosae,
camellias, SSaleaa, gre-eiiliouse prim •
roses, gardeiiiiiK, pi tiles and chrys
anthemums cams from China. The
first knowledge of the w-underfill gar
dens of the Chinese anil of the plants
grow n therein WSJ brought back '<>
England by trading vessels or the
BUI India company, and others, at
tho end of the IMb century and carlv
In the I flth century.
But the flowers cultivate*] tn the
Chinese gardens .ire lltnlle r i In vaii-
Sty and chosen chiefly for purity of
color and rorm, gracefulness in hab
it and dsllcacv of fragrance. It Is
the wild flowers of China which are
the revelation and through the ex
amination of specimens collected by
pioneer botanists, the headquarters of
several genera, for example rhod
dendron, lilium, primula, pyrus, ru
btis, rosa vitls an ( ] others hitherto
attributed elsewhere, was shown lo be
China.
Introducing Trees
Especially Well equipped is this
Country with wonderful trees, and It
Is the- effort of the Arnold Arboretum
to find out which of them can be
brought to the United states and
in.idf! to flourish here. For Instance
China has a very valuable tree
known as the varnish tree, from
which is obtained tho sap fur making
the remarkable laoquer which is one
of the- Important Chinese industries.
It Is the UlOSt Indestructible varnish
known. The bamboo Is another Chi
nese tree which Is valuable in Sev
ern! wayS. The shoots of this tree,
when very young, are edible, and con
sidered a greater delicacy by many
than the young asparagus shoots.
The Oingko tree, also known as
the maiden hair, is one of the most
ornamental l>roacl-|cnveel conifers
known. china -possesses, says Mr.
Wilson, a greater variety of trees
than tin- whole of North America
and of Ornamental shrubs has mote
varieties than are to he found in the
temperate flora of all other lauds.
Many of her ornamental trees and
shrubs are suitable for cultivation In
