IRRIGATION SURVEYS,
A Provision for This Purpose Included
in the Sundrv Civil Bill

A Provision for This Purpose Included
in the sundrv Civil Bill.
WASHINGTON, July 9.-The sundry civil
appropriation bill was reported to the SEN
ate to-day. The bill as reported carries an
appropriation OF $31. al, $50, an increase of
So, 181 $50. The most important feature of
the work of the senate committee on this
bill is the elimination from the measure of
the appropriation $777, 500 for an irrigation
survey. This provision was vigorously at
tackled by number of Western senators,
and they succeeded tn defeating it in COM
mittee. Their opposition was based largely
upon the ground that its effect would be to
reserve from the public domain a vast
amount OF public land which should be
open to settlement.
The appropriation for topographic sur
veys by the geological survey, however, is
increased from $500, 600 to $500, 900. It is
provided that 500, GOO of this sum shall be
expended west of the one hundred and first
meridian. The effect OF this amendment
will be to prevent any further setting apart
of public lands for future irrigation pur-
poses.
A VENTILATION TO BE MADE.
WASHINGTON, Special Telegram, July o.
The action o; the senate appropriation COM
mittee in leaving out the Irrigation appro-
priation of the sundry civil bill does not
mean that irrigation will get nothing, but
that the committee would prefer to have
the amendment offered in the house.
1t means further, that the management OF
Powell of the irrigation interests will be
thoroughly ventilated.

bers sufficient to cover large area Of coun.
try. For two days they rendezvoused near
Spokane Falls. and hastened away with 500
head OF horses towsrd the British Columbia
line through the Flathead Indian country in
Northwestern Montana.
A Walla Walla farmer reports the loss of
fifty head, which were traced to within q
few miles Of Spokane Falls. William
Lewis OF Cheney lost stallion for which he

thieves, but with little hope Of success, as the
Williams have several hundred miles the start

rugged and little Travelled. Some of the
thieves are known to the police as despera-
does who would not halt a the sacrifice of
human life rather than submit to capture.
A small posse has started under the direc-
ton Of Deputy United States Marshal
Warren. and kilograms have been forwarded

Inducements. A battle lie sure to occur if

going passenger trains had passed. Three
passenger locomotives were coupled to-
gether and were backing from the round
house in the South Minneapolis yards, and
were going to the upper yards. The young
women did not seem to notice these engines
until they were within 100 feet of them.
Miss Swanson got off the
track safely, but her companion seemed to
have became bewildered, and before she
could decide which way to 90 she was
struck by the tender Of one Of The locomo-
tives. She fell; and all but the front drive
wheel passed over her. The body was cut
in two and was otherwise mutilated. An
inquest will be held at 10 o'clock to-day.
Deceased was twenty lone years of age and
has lived in Minneapolis about two years.
