An offer for the farmer who wants the best fence produced at 

 the lowest price a life-time fence can be made for. Advance Fence 

 isn t just a boundary line. It stands for system and advanced value 

 in property. Any farmer who subdivides his land into plots for 

 crop rotation is systematizing his farm business. A built-to-last, 

 sound-value, substantial-looking fence means to the owner of the 

 land, and every man who works on it, exactly what a modern 

 substantial factory or office building means to every man doing 

 business in the building. 



ADVANCE FENCE 



Is An Investment That Pays Big Dividends 



What the farmer puts money and protection into, he's going 

 to get money and protection out of. 



Advance Woven-Wire Fence is the best looking, strongest con- 

 structed, longest lasting fence on the market. To prove it, we make 

 our great offer. If the fence isn't O. K. to you, and more, send it 

 back at our expense. 



We sell to you direct no middleman therefore the price is 

 right one profit only after making. 



Advance Fence is made of Solid Wire, not wire cut and spliced 

 again. A cut wire weakens. Our stay wire is continuous, woven 

 in with the main top and bottom wire running the entire width of 

 the fence from one stay to the next. Made of the best basic, open- 

 hearth steel, galvanized with a heavy coat of 99-per-cent-pure spelter 

 that means rust proof. 



Advance Fence always stays taut straight and handsome. Prove 

 it for yourself. Write to us for all particulars. Remember, we pay 

 freight and guarantee safe delivery. Don't pay two prices Write us

Lauchlin Maclean, chairman of the Committee on 

 Irrigation of the Spokane Chamber, is making a canvass 

 among business men in Spokane to raise $5,000, the amount 

 required for a permanent survey of the Quincy Valley in 

 Grant and Douglas counties, 135 mile^ west of Spokane, 

 where 300,000 acres of land is to be put under ditches. It 

 is expected that the work will begin early next spring. 



The Tukanon Valley, comprising 12,000 acres of fine 

 bottom land, is to be developed and put under a gravity 

 irrigation system by an association of capitalists. 



Colonel J. C. Murphy, of Seattle and Pa:coe, is giv- 

 ing his personal effort in the interest of the completion 

 of the Government Palouse Irrigation project. The Recla- 

 mation Service completed surveys for this project in 1905, 

 but never began active construction. By interesting com- 

 mercial clubs at Tacoma and elsewhere, Colonel Murphy 

 expects to be able to bring sufficient pressure to bear 

 upon omicials to injure early operation. About 101,000 

 acres of Franklin County land are involved. According 

 to the original plan it was proposed to take flood water 

 from the Palouse and through the canal past Kahlotus 

 Lake and across the lower end of the Council Coolie and 

 to store it in this coolie. 



J. B. Early, head of the contract department for the 

 Klickitat Irrigation and Power Company, is authority for 

 the statement that work on this project will begin in the 

 early spring. Water from the Big Klickitat River will 

 be stored near Pro?ser for a 240,000 tract. It is esti- 

 mated that the construction cost of this project will be 

 $12,000,000. Additional water will be taken from the 

 Columbia River.
