His idea j In brief is to lengthen Manhattan Is- land nearly four miles by the .trection j of sea .walls, behind which the space j could be filled in by pumping sand from the channel. Exactly the same thing, as a matter of fact, has ben accomplished on Governor's - Island, and chimerical as the ; scheme may sound at first hearing, there appear to be no reasons why It should not be carried out since the value of the mads ' land will far exceed the cost of its creation. Of course until boring and surveys have been made It is Impossi ble to do more than roughly estimate tn-. coBt of such an undertaking, but it Is believed that It would not only pay for itself but would leave a hand some profit besides. As a result of hU growing population, and the need for .improved docking facilities, It is evi dent that Father Knickerbocker must soon begin to convert acqueous terri tory Into dry land and to steal from the domain of Father Neptune In an en deavor to maintain the, position of New Ydrk as the world's greatest port. f US 1 1. 9 Woodman Dance Monday.

(Spe- ! clal) Prospcts for a record gra'n crop In eastern Washington and Ore gon, north and central - Idaho and western Montana were never better at this time of the year, according to re- ports . from growers to the Spokane chamber of commerce. It Is estimated ttha the wheat crop alone will be a matter of 50,000,000 bushels. The bur eau of statistic of the United Slaeis department of agrlcultureTBays in a report that the present cond!t:,.!i o! winter wheat In Washington and Or egon is 9? per cent of normal, com pared to a 10-year average of 0 for Washington and 92for Oregon pnd an , average of 83.3 per tent for tba United States. Idaho shows 98 per cent against an average of 96. The condi tion of the crops at the same time last spring was 94 per cent for Washing-: ton and 93 for Oregon, while ihs 10 t year average of the entire country was : 86.9 per cent. As ther has been pi en-1 ty of moisture during the winter F, E. months, the farmers say there Is every reason to believe that the spring wheat yield also will be a large one this season.
