CHARGES AGAINST OTIS.

Washington--An investigation OF the
scandal involving General Otis and based
on a letter from naval officer, who ie
said to be attached to the Olympia, will
be had as soon as Admiral Dewey ar
rives. The charges to be investigated
are that Otis sent Lying reports" Ia
charge said to have been originally made
to Otis face by Admiral Dewey, that
through maladministration Of affairs the
insurgents were permitted to receive
arms and ammunition; that bribes were
received for furnishing clearance papers
to merchant vessels, and for the privi-
lege Of permitting commerce between
island ports; that the managers Of the
"tinclads," the so-ealled "army gun
boats" was wretched and irresponsible
that Dewey found it necessary to threat
en- to seize Otis vessels on the ground
that they were a menace to navigation.
These grave charges first appearing in
an administration newspaper must be
disproved in full by General Otis, be-
cause the proof of any one of them was
enough to have him court-martaled
and dismissed from the service OF the
United States. They are, in fact. 30
great that it was evident today that the
administration officials have been eau
toned not to discuss them on their
merits until Dewey, Schurman and
Worcester and Otis have been heard
from. The efforts OF the higher officials
today were confined to discrediting the
story; not by the citation OF facts in
disproof, but by inferences. The presi
dent and his advisers recognize the
potentiality of Dewey and anything he
may say that might affect the coming
elections, and they are now trembling
lest he might be induced to say some
thing in speeches or Interviews that

A BIG PROPOSITION
Vast Tract of Desert Land on
To Be Turned Into Beet
Fields.
THE HIGH LINE CANAL
Would be Used to Float the Reefs
THE HIGH LINE CANAL
Would be Used to Float the Beets
ON Barges to the Beet Sugar
Factory in 7Ais City.

Henry T. Oxnard, the great beet sugar
expert and mill manager, will make a
trip to Grand Junction about the middle
of next month.
While in Denver few days ago, Mr..
Oxnard gained valuable information con-
corning the possibilities OF beet culture
in tho valley OF the Grand river provided
a canal forty miles long is built on q
system known as the high line.
This canal has been discussed many
times but the man with the capital has
been the missing link Now that the
Oxnards are interested, the chances are
brighter for the great project than ever
before.
The plan 10 to take water from the
Grand river at point eight or ten miles
above Palisades ard conduct it along
the mesa 80 a. to supply great tract of
10000 acres which 10 now worthless oh
account Of lack OF water.
The laud has been examined by OK
perts and they declare it is as good a.
any soil in the best agricultural districts
OF the state, It viii hlossen as the rose
after water is applied. The entire tract
is owned by tho government and may be
taken up under the desert land act, pro-
vided the canal is built. The canal
would cost $5oO,OOO.
One OF the features Of the plan is to
make use Of the irrigating canal as a
means OF floating the beets on barges to
the works to be erected near Grand
Junction.
This idea seemed to appeal to Mr.. Ok
nard with special force as it means the
saving of many Thousands Of dollars in
freight bills each year. AS the beet
growers would live alongside the canal
the transportation question would be
simple one.
1t may bo stated on good authority
that the big beet sugar factory for the
Arkansas valley is an assured fact. The
factory will be located near Rocky Ford
and not at Lamar as has been rumored
