Milton. May24. W. A. Copeland,
who came to this district from Spok
ane some seven or eight months ago
and who for seven years prior to his
coming here was an active member
in the chamber of commerce at Spok
ane told of plans he had laid out for
concrete irrigation ditches which will
cover the entire twenty acre tract he
purchased two miles and a half north
west of Milton last fall.
Mr. Copeland has traveled a great
deal and understands irrigation in all
its phases. 'While in Californa he
studied the methods used in a valley
in til- utr j.-irt '-f ti e slate, which
he has decided to put into operation
here. He claims there is water enougn
In the Walla Walla valley to supply
the entire valley with sufficient water
for irrigation purposes from tne coun
try right adjacent to Walla Walla
clear through to the Columbia river
should the people of his district adopt
the means of irrigation that is used
in the highly irrigated projects and
districts of southern Californa. Hi
claims that nine-tenths of the watei
is being wasted and that water Is one
of the greatest blessings that the Wal
la Walla valley now posses.
Mr. Copeland's plan, that he will put
Into operation, is to run concrete
ditches every so often through hi
apple tract which he has recently set
out. He will then pipe the water
from thosg main ditches to the various
trees. He claims that the soil be
tween the trees does not need the
water unless put to other uses but he
Is a staunch believer in the cultiva
tion of the soil between the trees.The
pipes will be put under the soil at a
depth that will not Interfere with the
cultivation of the land. There will
be absolutely no waste water but the
trees will be supplied with a suffi
cient amount JU any and all times,
making a healthy gi-owth possible and
assured.
Mr. Copeland recently Installed a
five horse power engine to supply h!
three Inch pipes with water from a
well which he dug to a depth of forty
feet. This well will supply enough
water to irrigate his twenty acre tract
and he says that he is thinking of pur
chasing another twenty acres and be
lieves that he will have enough water
from this one well to irrigate the en
tire place.
If Mr. Copeland is right in this it
will prove a boon and blessing to this
valley. Others will take the same
means up hy there Is no doubt and
Instead of using from one and one
half to two and one half inches of
water to the acre as is now being
done, a fraction of an inch will serve
the same purpose.
Sells 72-AcTe Tract.
James Wait of Walla Walla, Mon
day purchased a 72-acre tract owned
by Jerome Reeser, located near Mea
dor park. Consideration $15,000. Mr.
Wait is one of the successful florists
of the Walla Walla valley and it is
his intention to use this tract of land
for the raising of high grade products
in his line.

berry day, which has been set for
Tuesday June 8th is fast making head
way. The stock show it is expected
that owners of high-grade stock will
be present from all parts of the Wall
Walla valley and Umatilla county.
The Odd Fellows and Knights oi
Pythlns will cross bats on the local

all indications there will bo a pleasant
i tie In Milton in that day and ono ot
tho largest crowds ever assembled in
this section of the valley is expected
The committee is up to its neck in
work preparing to royally entertain
the visitors.

ECONOMIC REFORM STUDENTS
TO HAVE CO-OPERATIVE FARM
Dayton, Wash. Dr. Marcel Pie.
trzyckl, promoter and student of eco
nomic reform, will establish the firs,
co-operative colony in this state at
Lubla farm, his estate near Starbuck,
early this fall. He recently returned
from Europe, where he had been to
study social and economic conditions.
He expects his plan to be followed
by the founding of other colonies
throughout this country. He said:
"I intend to locate 15 families at
Lubla this fall. This number will be
increased later to 30 or more families.
None of my land will be sold, but
shall require the colonists to lease as
much of my farm as Is available In
common, paying for It from the crops
that are produced. I shall superin
tend until the colonists have con
vinced themselves of the merits of
my system." Dr. Pletryzckl made an
unsuccessful attempt to establish a
colony three years ago. Of this he
said:
"My former plan, which required
the homesecker to buy the land, was
Impracticable to the man of small
means, and It Is such I desire to ben
efit. With my present system a man
of small capital can acquire a com
fortable, home and a good Income. The
colonists will work In common and
share the profits. I have found these
co-operative colonies very common In
Europe. They are advantageous In
many respects and disadvantageous
In none. Onre the people of this
country can be made to see the bene
fits obtainable through their own ef
forts such a fiy.tcm of living will re
T.lnce largely that of the present."
Dr. Pietryzekl Is nt work on a
pamphlet and other literature de
scriptive of tho proponed colony. The
doctor .Is "tie of the wealthiest land
owners In Columbia, county and has
been active In developing this sectloi.
All his life ha has been fl student of
government reform and fc.nointi
condition". IT present, plan is i
broad ono nnd will enta'l the expendi
ture of peveral thousand dollars.
