Clay Rlnehart, one of the wide awake business men of Imbler, was In the city today, and Is very much In terested In the IrrlKatlon project be ing extended to the Sandrldge. He reall7.es that If the big holdings of the Sandrldge are mib-dlvlded, that Imbler, situated as It Is, in the center of the finest valley In the northwest, will become a city of no ne an Import ance. He also realizes that this sub division of the large holdings will necessarily be slow until this tract Is watered. Mr. Klnchatt states that there is considerable interest manifest but it is 'mostly amoUK the small hold ers, who realize that they can more than double the products of their farms If they had water. The laig-r holdings which are devoted principal ly to wheat, with few exceptions, are Imbued with the idea of letting '"well enough alone." Th-y wn their faima Hnd are making money as it Is, and many do not want to sell, and argue that irrigation would simply result in higher value! which would uienn higher taxes, and that values nre growing higher as it Is; that they can not grow any more wheat on land worth $150 per acre than they can on the same land valued between and TS5 p-r acre. These Ideas are natural; It will require t. campaign education to change these convic tion. When the owners of tlies. Iiirge holdings realize that they .-an make as much off of ISO acres of land with water, as. they are now making from th. ltv 500, 400, COO, 100a nun 1500 acre tracts, and Ihnt buyers will pay them double the .resent pin . will clanje the came as men In th"y other localities have (barged under similar conditions. It sboubl not re quire two weeks' time to secure la. , 000 nems fit land on the Pandrldge to pome Into this Irrigation project. V do not exie et any of H at this time however.

The letter man brought an epistle to the city recorder's office Indited to Francis J. Matott. The pont office de partment knew of only one Alatott. namely, .1. A. In the study as to who i.ls almost nameruke was, the mystery was partially solved when it was found that if member of the Curllss Comedy company, now showing nt the St.-war 1, was the real owner of the missive. Naturally Inquisitive on the matter, the street superintendent found Fran cis .1. und In conversation discovered that I he tw o were cousins, though ttley had never heard of each otlu r be fore. Fi.incls .1. Matott Is from Seat tle, but at present Is a member of the troupe's band.

While the men have not been working during the disagreeable weather always, the camp quarters have been established continually since the work of straightening out the liver channel, building a short stretch of county roml on tho north sldo of the river, and removing two bridges, commenced. The work Is now finished except for a final touch here and there, and experts who have seen It declare It Is first-class In every re spect. The county has been saved a snug sum of money by the changes of the river channel as two expensive bridges will not have to be built, and mainte nance cost forever removed.
