changes from the original scheme pre-.

The principal change was the recon-
mendailon that all difficulties must be

at the request OF the Building Trades

how an unusually large white oak log,
measuring forty feet In length and
forty-two inches In diameter at the

Savannah to northern Arm. Its
value. says our contemporary. when
simply sawed into lumber for shipping
was estimated at $40. Smaller logs
bring equally good prices In proper

lumber have been sold for 81 and even

Albuquerque, N. NJ, Jan. 1.--Judge
w. f. Parker Of the Third judicial Dis
trtct Court is in the city to-day on his
way to the session Of the Supreme
Court, which convenes In Santa Fe this
week.
During the day the Judge mailed to
the clerk Of the court at Las Cruces
his decision and findings In the famous
case Of the United States Of America
versus the Rio Grande Dam and Irri-
CATION Company ct al, being the suit
brought by the government to enjoin
the defendants from constructing their
dam and reservoirs at Elephant Butte,
In Sierra county, New Mexico. The
judge renders his decision against the
government, dismlssing the complaint
and dissolving the injunction. In his
opinion, the judge says:
'"There Is no direct testimony In this
case showing that any given quantity
OF water In the Rio Grande passing FL
Paso reaches Rio Grande City, the
head Of navigation, and there accom-
plishes any certain effect upon the nav
liability Of the stream; that the waters

quantities seems probable, but that
they reach that point In quantities suf-
ficient and In such form rs to substan-
TALLY add to the nnviguble capacity
Of the stream is not satisfactorily es-
tablished by the evidence, nor can such
conclusion be satisfactorily deduced
therefrom. therefore find that the in
tended acts OF the defendants In the
construction of dam or dams or reser-
volr and In approprlatlng the waters Of
the Rio Grande will not substantially
diminish the navigability of that
stream within the limits of present
navigabllity."
1t is thought the United States attor-
ney general will order an appeal Of the
case taken to the Territorial Supreme
Court.

General French Flanks the Boer Position
Cape Dutch Rising.
Rensberg, Cape Colony, Jan. 1.-Gen-
eral French has completely defeated
the Beers and occupied Colesberg.
The general continued to keep the
Beers on the move and pressed them
closely Saturday and Sunday, giving
them no time to make prolonged
stand, and when day broke he was
within striking distance of the enemy.
Last night all the cavalry, artillery and
infantry, the latter riding in wagons to
increase the general mobility, started
upon a night march with the object of
turning the Beers right. The flank
operations were successful. The infan-
try and field batteries Immediately
made a feint attack upon the Boer
front, and while this was proceeding,
the cavalry and artillery got complete
ly around the enemy's right flank, as
arranged. The program worked with
out hitch. The Beers were utterly
surprised, and finding their retreat
threatened, fed in disorder to the east
ward, leaving Colesberg in General
French's hands.
Cape Town, Jan. 1.-Ugly rumors
are In circulation Of a Dutch rising
with the object Of SELLING Cape Town
and the docks and capturing the gov
ernor Of Cape Colony, Sir Alfred Mil
ner. The center Of the movement is
said to be Paarl, Il village about thirty
miles from Cape Town, where n meet
Ing Of the Afrikander bund was held
yesterday.
A similar meeting was held mt Rich
mond on December 2Sth, and 1t is re-
ported that the members Of the bunds
In these two towns are acting In con-
cert.
The members of the bund ut Willing
ton and the Dutch In Clan William dis
trict are said to be armed with Maus-
ers and to be anxious to use them In
behalf OF the Beers.
Although the stories OF n rising are
discredited. the police and military are
taking ample precautions.
