THE WALLULA DITCH.

Will Bring Under Cultivation ManyAcres of Desert Land.

John M. Hill, of the firm of Hill andDickson, returned on the early morn-ing train Saturday from Wallulawhere he went for the purpose ofcruising the arid! lands lying betweenWallula an the mouth of Snake river,embracing township seven and eight,range thirty-one, and that part oftownship eight, range thirty lying eastof the Columbia river. Mr. ; Hillstated to a reporter for the States-man that he made a thorough exam in.ation of these lands, and that theyare Tias good' if not superior; to thelands on either side of the Kennewickditch on the west side of the Colum-bia

The proposed irrigation ditch which,when completed will furnish waterfor about 12,000 acres of these landsis now being surveyed with a view toearly completion of the same by thecompany that has it in charge »InMr. Hill's' opinion these lands whencovered by the proposed dilch will beas valuable as any of the irrigatedlands in the Yakima or Kennewickdistricts, and the markets will begreatly superior on account of havingtwo Competing lines of railroad inclose proximity. When asked if thereare any valuable lands subject to en-try in the townships mentioned, hereplied that there are a few tracts,one of two of which are very ohoice,but that the greater part of the landsare already covered by desert land en-tries and contests. Mr. Hill thinksthe reclamation of this vast amount ofland will greatly add to the taxableproperty of Walla Walla county, andthat in point of value the east side ofthe county will no longer be so topheavy.

The Ninth Cavalry scored an easyvictory over the amateurs yesterdayafternoon. In a game fairly well at-tended, and quite interesting. At notime during the game did the amateur*show up equal to the boys from thefort, and it was not a surprise whei'he game closed with a score of 11 lo

In the first inning Aubin made awild throw to "Babe" Brown, andin turn Brown tossed the ball over hisshoulder and quit the game. Twomen scored on the wild throw sndthe unceremonious quitting of Brown.The matter received well merited crit-icism.

The crowd was not large but it wasenthusiastic, and the weather wasideal. The line up was as follows:Walla Walla?Buchet, ss; McCool, rf;Brown, 3b; Gray, cf; McGucken, rfand lb; Parks, If and 1 b; Lankard,c; Fisher, 3b; Aubin, 2b; McDonald,p and If.

DREAMLAND PARK NOTES.Greatly to the disappointment of

the public and the park management,the high dive by Prof. Vaught failedto come off Sunday afternoon. Thefailure was caused by an insufficiencyof water to bring the pool up to thedepth required. At the last hoursome person or persons unknownturned the water from its accustomedchannel and before it could be broughtback into the park again, it was toolate to attempt the dive. In spite ofthe large crowd which was turnedaway an attendance of over 500 en-joyed the concert by the Ninth Cavalryband. The high dive is postponed un-til next Sunday, August 2, when it willpositively come off, as a tank is beingprepared, lined with tin that will bebrimming with water by Friday inreadiness for the act

Wednesday evening the regulardance will come off.

A fine three months old black bearwas added to the collection of ani-mals Sunday.

The lake and Garrison creek existonly in name at the present but theformer willsoon be filled by the pow-er pump.

tice with pleasure that the WallaWalla Family theater which was pat-

ronized so liberally this spring hasagain been opened. The first perform-ance will be tomorrow evening begin-ning at 8:30 o'clock.
