Congressman Struble here to day ex-

unlawful to export liquors into prohibition
states would not pass, and that the pro-
bibitionists could not retain the Iowa law
unless future efforts to enforce it were
more vigorous than the past.

Anew York Maal and Eapress special

been made here during the last two OF

in regard to silver legislation has helped.
the manipulators greatly, and the govern
ment is now compelled to bring its silve,
from England.
The amount Of bullion held by New
Workers is estimated by some of the most
extravagant at $40, 600, 900 in bullion and
certificates, but the conservative and trust
worthy accounts place the total amount Of
bullion at 1000, 900. At this season Of
the year this is a large amount, because
the large mines in Colorado and Nevada
closed during the winter months, and the
output is not SO great.
While these figures would cover the bull
ion, it may be increased several millions Of
dollars by the number Of silver certificates
which have also been purchased by tie
spectators. it is a fact that the govern
ment has been compelled to buy its silver
in London, and to complete the deal the
New York people have been keeping even
with the government in purchasing abroad.
They have almost cornered the market in
London.
1t is also a fact that the silver offered the
government at the assay Office in New
York has been at a premium of from 2 to
3 cents.

The exports Of specie from the port Of
New York last week amounted to $l2,O 900
all gold, of which $1,000 went to Europe
and Sill, 400 to South America. The i'm
ports of specie amounted to 1907, $40, of
which $40 was in gold and $589,57
silver. This is the first week in many
years that no silver was exported from this
port and this exception is undoubtedly due
to the anticipated silver legislation. All the
silver imported came from Europe, an alb
normal movement also resulting from the
anticipated silver legislation.

~Irrigation matters.

.Hf4ere4ssFEL AAAh&0SAOA IA
The South Dakota senator's say. that
S350;800 will. be appropriated at this ses-
sion of congress for the purpose Of begin
ming the irrigation of the arid plains of
North and South Dakota, Montana and
the northwest, and that the money will be
use in boring artesian wells in what is
supposed to be the artesian basin Of that
country. They say that North and South
Dakota have already demo astrated q sur
ficient artesiAn power to make not only ir-
rigation buy the artesian process practicable,
but that any quantity ofpower for menufac-
turing purposes can be obtained by tapping
the artesian basin. Senator Moody says
that the people interested in the irrigation
of the arid plains will not be content with
q simple survey Of the country to be irri-
gated, but will demand a sufficient amount
of money to begin the work of irrigation,
and will take q position which will make it
next to an impossibility to accomplish any
thing in congress unless the demand is
granted.
The conclusion Of the subcommittee Of
the house committee on irrigation to
accept Mr.. Connell's proposition to with.
draw from the market the basin
lands which supply basin irrigation
for the arid plains meets with gen.
eral approval and there is very little doubt
that it will take the form Of a law. It is
the purpose now of congress TO protect
settlers against corporations which secure
the water supply of the country and make
free irrigation an impossibility. The gov
eminent intends to enter the irrigation
business itself and will hold the water
basins for that purpose.

sion finished it's work at Huron and went
to Hitchcock, where an artesian we'll will
be examined; then the commission pro-
ceeds to jamestown. Col. Nettleton is
gratifed with the result of the investiga-
tion at Huron and believes it will be the
tesian basin. They return to Huron in
ten days. Prof. Hay, chief field geologist;
Maj. Coffin, state engineer of irrigation,
and David S. McCaslin, appointment geolo-
'gist, visited Washington Hills with a view
of as%certaining the strata yielding the arte-
sian flow: also to examine the water and
the source of the Washington springs.
While in the hills Prof. Hay discovered a
well developed bed Of hydraulic cement
rock. He believes it to be of excellent
quality and says the bed covers a large aren
and that cement works can be easily
worked. Samples were taken to be sent to
the department at Washington with a re.
port of the find. Other samples will be
sent to experts for examination and test.
