"The higher function of charity,"

WATER RIGHT
The water for these lunds was filed on 18 and
20 years ago, being two of the oldest water rights
on the Yakima River, and the present company
bought out and completed the canals of the two
older companies, making one system, covering
28,000 acres of the best lands on the Columbia
and Yakima Rivers. The United States govern
ment has recently made three largo dams near
the head of the Yakima River, converting three
lakes into Immense reservoirs, holding back all
the flood waters of the mountains drained by the
river, making an ample supply for all the lands
tributary to the Yakima River, and the govern
ment projects being among the mone recent ones,
It practically guarantees the water supply for the
Richland project.
WATER FOR DOMESTIC USE
Wells of pure water from the Columbia River
can be gotten en any part of the lands for sale,
at a depth of 25 to 40 feet, and all the way
through dirt and gravel. The water In these
wells is absolutely as pare as any in the entire
Northwest.
LOCATION AND CLIMATE
These lands He along the Columbia and Ya
kima River, at an altitude of 365 to 400 feet
above sea level and have the earliest, warmest
springs of any lands under irrigation In the
Northwest Early fruits and vegetables from
this section of the Columbia River basin reach
the market from two to three weeks earlier than
any other section, and consequently bring the
highest prices paid for such products. This fact
alone makes these lands worth double the value
of lands not so well located, for many early vege
ti tiles and berries can be raised here that can
not be marketed at any price a couple of weeks
later.
TRANSPORTATION
Richland at present has a dally stea.nbpat ser
vice to Kennewick, 10 miles down the river, and
from that point, produce can be shipped to Se
attle, Tacoma, Portland and Spokane, In one
night, giving the fruit the cool night ride to mar
ket, and placing It actually on sale In the retail
stores of the largest cities of the Northwest with
in 15 to 18 lours from the time It U picked In the
orchard.
Seven railroads are being constructed at pres
ent, that run directly through this country, two
of them running through the lands of the Rich
land Land Co., and it is expected that one of
them, probably an electric line, will be completed
and in operation before winter. If this happens,
lands now being sold for $100 and $125 per acre
will be worth nearly double the present prices
within a year's time.
POPULATION ESTIMATES
The present size of the farm unit, based on the
sales made to date Is 15 acres to the family, and
If the entire lot of land Is sold on this basis, there
will be about 1800 families or "200 people In tho
vicinity of Richland In a short time. Such a
farm population will support a town of 10,000 peo
ple. Lots In Richland can be bought now for $100
and up, and are certain to increase in value.
PRICE OF LAND AND TERMS
Prices on this land range from $75 to $250.00
per acre, owing to distance from town, and the
amount of work necessary to place the land in
shape for cultivation.
Terms are: One fourth down, and the balance
In 5 equal annual payments.
These lands offer today one of the safest, and
most attractive Investments for capital, and to
the man who has enough money to meet the first
payment and can move onto the lands and make
a home, they offer a chance to build up comfort
able homes that will soon render the owners Independent.

San Francisco, June 22. In as fast
and clean a fight as has been seen i.'i
u local arena In a long time Monte
Attcll of Sn Francisco won the ban
tam weight championship from
Frankje Neil in the 18th round of a
scheduled 25-round contest at Coff
roth's arena Saturday afternoon.
Neil was th. aggressor throughout,
forcing Attell back time and again.
His punches seemed to lack force,
however, and In only two rounds did
he appear to have a chance with the
clever brother of the feather weight
champion. Attell had everything. He
peppered Neil's nose and mouth with
straight lefts, brought over crushing
rights on the jaw and occasionally
rapped Frankte In the mld-sjciion
with solid right or lefts.
The knockout in the ISth had been
only a postponed affair from the pre
ceding round, when the gong saved
Nell from defeat. At the beginning
of the final round Neil came out of
his corner with a sort of Battling
Nelson trot, but was stopped quickly
with a straight left on the face. He
staggered around the ring with Attell
following him and sending in hard
rights and lefts to the Jaw. No one
punch did the work, but under this
fearful punishment Nell sank grad
ually to the floor and was counted
out.
From the second round until the
final gong Nell's nose and mouth
bled continuously from Attell's hard
punches.
