THE LAND of EARLY FRUITS
. -
The Irrigated Paradise of the Northwest Is Located in
the Very Center of the "Columbia River Early
Fruit Belt,'" America's Valley of the Nile
THE SOIL IS THE GENUINE VOLCANIC ASH
ranging in depth from five to thirty feet, underlaid dth an open gravel and -with a gentle slope either toward the .
Yakima or Columbia Rivers, which rivers circle
on two, sides, thus
affordins
the
, ;. ; v very best of air and water drainage.
The water is furnished through long, gravity ditches,' and this being the .lowest irrigated altitude .'in the
entire Northwest, the water is warm; every condition is right for successful irrigation and the growing of early,
crops. This valley is. past the experimental stage. There are 1000 people living here (that it is a pleasure" to'"
live among), many of whom have farmed in small patches for years, making as much as $500 to $1000 per acre,
per year. Then again we are only nine miles from the famous- Kenriewick Valley, and an exact duplicate of
that now, famous project.- We have, the best of graded schools; fine churches, fraternal orders, stores and, hotels-.
This is not pioneering; it's a place for a" . - ; V .
Prosperous Home
IT MAY BE TRUE
That you do not hare to buy irrigated land in tha Richland Valley;- that you are fixed so that you can
get along -without it. but look here. You have not passed that point- in financial affluence that you do
not care to make apiece of easy money. Then, again, there are very few people who have spent a num
ber of years in active life "Who care to settle down and become absolutely indolent. The habit of "rustle"
lias become fixed upon you and you feel better when you are at work. 1'HKRJB IS NO DOUBT THAT LASD
VNDEK IRRIGATION, WHERE THE SOIL. CAN BE TIMED INTJSNSIVEL.Y AND WHERE THE CLI
MATIC CONDITIONS ARB IDEAL., IS THE MOST INTERESTING AND PROFITABLE INVESTMENT ONE
CAN MAKE. It is highly remunerative and the land increases very rapidly in value. To the wealthy man
It is a means of diversion that is-sure to .bring to the owner a .feeling that he has carried another enter
prise to success. If you are a poor man. there is -no place on earth that yau can get a start so easily as
you can In the Richland Valley.- If you go Into busi ness,-' It takes capital to successfully compete with
men who have more. If you go to wheat farming, it takes money to outfit, even though you rent a farm to
work on. With the same ten acres which the rich man puts into excellent condition as a means of diver
sion, you can start in with a very small investment and make a competence from the first, and when your
fruit trees or grapes come into bearing you will begin to build up a bank account. Whether you are rich or
poor, there is no better place to put your money than In the Richland Valley, where It Is sure to work
while you sleep. .'
There are half a hundred other things we would like to tell you about, but space will not permit Come iri
and talk it over with us. Irrigation is a thing that should interest you; everybody understands more or less about
it, still there are a lot of things that perhaps you are not familiar with. ,

WHO HAVE DONE THINGS. Join us on a trip to RICHLAND.

Norris & Rowe's Circus Larger
Than Ever Before.

Both Grown-TJps and Children

Be of Special Interest.
BT NAKCT UJH.
Srnlltnff weather, straw bonnets; -baseball
and. last but not least, the arrival of
a circus, are conclusive signs that the
balmy days are at hand. Kor weeks in
advanoe small boys have gazed In ad
miration before the Elddy-colored post
ers replete with .yorgeously-robed per
former In hair-raising attitudes. Des
perate riders who could give Buffalo Bill
, points, and scores of bet&hted beauties,
swinging from lofty heights by a tooth
or eyelash, with equal nonchalance.
Norris A Rowe's circus, which opened
In Portland yesterday and will continue
today. Is essentially a Western aggrega
tion, which, though not yet "the greatest
show on earth," has developed from . a
miniature dog and pony show into pre
tentious proportions, and without which
a Portland Spring would seem Incom
plete. While It has not yet reached the three
ringed class (which Argus alone could ap
preciate), its two big sawdust circles,
with 6corea of incidental attractions, is
quite sufficient to- keep the optics busy
and one's interest on the crescendo.
Naturally, a big feature Is the menag
erie, which boasts of all types of var
mints, from the ferocious king of the
Jungle to the gentle gazelle. Included in
the category are camels with various as
sortments of humps, a llama, a sacred
ox, sacrilegious monkeys and a peevish
laughing hyena, -
To all of the seven ages of man, the
call of the wild is at some time manifest,
but modern civilization, unlike Roose
velt, prefers -to pay the requisite price
of admission and to look at the denizens
of the Jungle behind strong bars than
to seek them in their native habitat.
The same old blase elephants, to which
the small boys have carried water for
the past generation. In lieu of the admit
tance price, called forth admiration from
the entire gamut of ages, while the fem
inine contingent displayed unusual Inter
est In the pachydermata this season ow
ing to the populadity of their coats of the
fashionable shade of "London smoke."
Norris & Rows boast this year of a
number of new and excellent features.
Two- Portland girls are among the star,
performers, giving a riding and driving
exhibition and also an aerial etunt, which
In circus parlance Is known as an "iron
Jaw" act. Drawn by their teeth to the
topmost pinnacle of the "big top." they
do a lightning-change act and a Lola
Fuller skirt-dance.
To the accompaniment of dizzy music,
tiny Japanese children tied themselves In
lovers' knots. Arabian steeds whirled
their riders In mid air, while lovely "per
haps blondes" in sparkling and hectic
shades en deshabille, trapeezed and tight
roped In death-defying attitudes.
" A piece de resistance Is the horizontal
bar act In which a daring sextet show
finesse and skill. A notable relief is to
find the costumes of the performers reas
oaably new and clean, all being cut la
the approved bejeweled -style-and along
Ypsilantl lines.
Although I left with the dust of the
chariot races In my eyes,. I-was' cogni
sant of the fact that I missed the stellar
event, for were- we not -repeatedly in
formed by the official ' spieler that for
"the small sum of ten cents, one dime,
the- gentlemanly ushers will . pass among
you offering tickets for the great after
concert, which Includes the grandest ag
gregation of European artists ever assem
bled on an American stage"? ,

only 99 were subpenaed. Eight Jurors
failed to report and had not been ex

obliged to explain the. cause of absence.
Several of the excuses offered to the
court were unique. For Instance, A.
Thompson told Judge Bronaugh that
he expected a certain woman would
die soon, and as he Is a retired minis
ter, he was needed to conduct the fu
neral services.
Hino Pepper said he dldnt know
anything about, this "Jury business,"
and sought to be excused on that
ground. He was excused, because the
two members of the firm employing him
did Jury duty lately, and the court con
sidered the service rendered by that
firm to the county sufficient for the
present.

PARADE PLANS DRAG
Few Children Volunteer to
Take Part in Festival.
APPEAL IS MADE TO BOARD
Directors Consent to Request for
Use of Buildings Made by" East
Side Business Men Who
Are in Charge. .
Volunteers from among the school chil
dren to participate in the Rose Festival
parade are not coming forward In num
bers sufficient to give that feature of the
parade a successful prospect.
Testerday, at a meeting of the Board of
Education, a letter from C. A. Bigelow,
president of the East Side Business Men's
Club, was submitted asking for a modi
fication of the resolution adopted by the
Board some time ago concerning the par
ticipation of school children in the Festi
val. This resolution permitted the use only
of volunteer pupils, none of whom should
be under 12 years of age.. .. .
Since this resolution was adopted there
has been a change in the general plan
of arrangements. The parade of school
children has been put under the con
trol of the &st Side Business Men's
Clubi which has employed two drill ex
perts to put the children in form. The
Board of Education had expected that
this work, would be in charge of Robert
Krohn, physical director for the schools.
The East Bide Business Men's Club in
calling for volunteers, received responses
from not more than 24 from any one
school. It la desired to have 2000 children
participate.
Mr. Blgelow, in his letter to the Board,
asked that the age limit be removed. He
said that It had been arranged that the
parade and all the drills should be after
school hours, that the line of march
would be short and .over Well paved
streets, and that the children's parade
would be divided into two sections which
would congregate after the parade In two
large rooms where their parents conld
easily find them. The privilege of making
an . announcement in the schools and the
use of basement rooms for drilling were
asked. ...
This letter was Indorsed with the ap
proval of Superintendent Frank Rigler,
Directors I. N. Flelschner, J. V. Beach
and Mrs. X. W. SJtton, with the excep
tion that each expressed opposition to
any removal of the age limitation, and
Mrs. Sitton desired limitation on the use
of rooms for drilling.
The association is proceeding on the
theory that a day's holiday will be
granted school children during the Festi
val. This point has never been taken up
by the Board but there seems to be an
understanding that it will be granted.
At yesterday's meeting of the Board,
the discussion over the situation was
lively, but it seemed to be the opinion
that - If the parade and drills are held
after, school hours the Board has no
Jurisdiction In the matter of age. The
Board adopted the following:
On motion of Mr. Beach, permission was
granted the Raet Side Buslnes Men's 'Asso
ciation to announce In the schools of the
city the fact that they are about to organize
a children's parade for the coming Rose
Festival. It was stipulated that children
were not to be drilled In the school buildings
except la bad weather, that no drilling- be
done during school hours and that the teach
ers will not be asked to serve as drill
masters. . ,
HAWAII TO ENTER $'700 FLOAT
Arrangements "Made for Participa
; tion in Rose Festival.
Hawaii will be represented by a $700
float tr the Rose Festival "Spirit of the
Golden West" parade, to be held the even
ing of Thursday, June 10. In addition to"
this two automobiles will be entered In
the motor car parade on the afternoon
of Wednesday, June 9, and they will be
decorated with flowers, lals and other
embellishments - In replica of the cup
winning cars In the great annual "Tour
nament of Roses" held In Honolulu
Washington's birthday.
Arrangements and negotiations for this
participation in Portland's next great
floral carnival are in the hands of Au
gustus F. Knudsen, director of the Ha
waiian Commission of the Alaska-Tukon-Pacific
Exposition, who spent yesterday
in Portland, on his way from San Fran
cisco to Seattle, where he. la going to In
stall the Hawaiian exhibit on the fair
grounds. Director Knudsen has been given carte
blanche in the matter of selection of a
theme for the spectacular float which
will appear In the Thursday evening pa
rade. After a -visit to the "den" where
the other floats are being constructed,
he practically decided upon a design
which shall represent the aquatic sport
of the Islands, together with the wonder
ful floral bounties of Hawaii.
The central .figure on the 'Hawaiian
float is to be an Immense floral barge,
on which will be seated the official Ha
waiian band, which Is to play at the
Seattle Fair, and a group of Kanaka
(native Hawaiian) girls, who will also
be a part of the Insular feature at Seat
tle, will occupy positions of honor on the
beautifully decorated float
Director Knudsen, before leaving for
"Seattle, arranged to enter' two automo
biles .in the big motor car parade on
Wednesday, and would have the decora
tions, floral and otherwise,- an exact re
production of the two principal winners
In the big parade of the "Rose Tourna
ment" . on Washington's birthday.
Credit for getting Hawaii to take part
In the Portland Rose Festival is in a
large way due to the efforts of John 6111,
of this city, who has Just returned from
a several months' visit to the islands. He
acted as an official agent of the Festival
and aroused the interest of the Hawaiian
commercial organizations to the point
where they agreed v to have Director
Knudsen come here and arrange for tak
ing part in the big show.
In return for appearing in the Rose
Festival functions, the Hawaiian Com
missioner Issued an invitation to the City
of Portland as the "Rose City" officially
to be represented In the next annual cel
ebration In Honolulu, February 22, 1910.

Herbert Man well Falls From Roof
and Serves as Human Cushion
for Robert Evans.
Herbert Man well's efforts' to save Rob
ert Evans from Injury succeeded yester
day,, but in a" way entirely unintended
and at the cost of serious injuries . to
Manwell. The two. men are shinglers
and were at work on the roof of a build
ing at Twentieth and Thurman streets,
when Evans lost his hold and slipped to
the cornice, where he clung uncertainly.
Manwell sprang to Evans' ' assistance,
lost his own balance toppled from the
roof and fell to the ground, 25 feet be
low, a brief Instant ahead of Evans, but
in- time to land first and- afford a human
cushion upon which Evans landed with
out injury. Manwell sustained a broken
arm and severe internal -injuries.
Manwell' s alacrity in responding to the
assistance, of his imperiled comrade was
what sent him off the roof. . Evans was
workirig near the edge when he slipped
over and began calling for help Man-
well saw there was not a moment to lose.
Being young and of powerful physique,
he could easily have seized the other by
the wrists and drawn him back to a place
of .safety. But he failed to take into ac
count the sharp dip of the roof and fairly
skidded off, passing under Evans. Both
men were in the air together, but Man
well struck in time to break the fall of
the other. Thug his courageous mission
succeeded, but in a way that had not '
been intended.
Evans was able to arise, but Manwell -lay
