The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1900-12-04

ures was the illustrated lecture
by Frederick HI. Newell, Chief
photographer of the Geological
Survey. Mr.. Newell spends
nearly half the year in the field,
and his travels over every Sec
ton of the west has made a very
fine collection of photographs.
He used those and showed by
stereopticon reproduction what
has been accomplished by irriga-
ton. He also had some dia-
grams and maps which convey
the startling fact that fully one
third of the area of the United
States, exclusive of Alaska and
islands, is still vacant public
land. There is ample water, he
says, to reclaim 70,O00,OOO acres
of this.
The National Irrigation Con-
gress is fortunate in holding this
session in the east, for as never
before, the opportunity is pre-
sented to educate the people east
of the Mississippi to the fact
that there is possibility of
creating in this western countr Y
homes for millions, and that is
the right and duty of the gov
eminent to carry out the work.
The lesson is being slowly but
certainly taught, says Mr..
Newell, that reclamation by irri-
cation on a large scale cannotsbe
made a source of profit except
under an extraordinary combina-
ton of circumstances. He likens
great storage reservoirs and
canals to lighthouses and harbor
improvements; they are neces-
sary and are worth far morethan
they cost, but under existing con-
ditions they cannot be made to
contribute exclusively to the
welfare of the builders. The IN
direct gain is SO widely diffused
that the general public reaps the
largest benefit.
Mr.. Newell is a substantial but
conservative advocate of national
irrigation and the work of his
Office has done much to present
the matter in clear light. The
surveys which he has made show
that there are a large number OF
sites suitable for reservoir stor-
age and also show the amounts
of water that run to waste
through the different rivers.
When it comes to the construc-
ton work on reservoirs, these
surveys will be found of great
value, since the work must be
gone at intelligently, and they
should be continued systematic
ally. 1t is probable that a strong
effort will be made this winter
to secure an appropriation of al
least $3.50, 900 for this important
work.
G. E. 'Boothe, ce-President
for California, of the NationaI
Irrigation Association, was g
delegate to Chicago to the Nat
ional Irrigation Congress. Mr..
Boothe is a Los Angeles mer
chant. and he has just completed
a tour among manufacturing

Samuel Bieber's Application Filed in
Court Today.

Mr.. Samuel Bieber. a well-known resident
of this city, and who. among other enter
prises, is engaged in the retail clothing and
furnishing business and the retail shoe
business. on Sth street southeast, late this
afternoon filed a petition In voluntary
bankruptcy His summary Of debts is
stated to be $3.50. SO.
His assets. including real estate cash on
hand. bills. promissory notes and securities,
stock in trade. household goods. debts due
on open accounts and open accounts, so 1t
is stated, foot up to $40. S2O.S2.
Mr. Leon Tobriner, attorney for Mr. Bic
ber made the following statement to a
Star reporter:
Several years ago Mr.. Bieber entered
into an agreement with the firm of j. K.
Murphy by which he undertook to furnish
to such firm the financial backing for the
construction of what is known as the Tiber
creek intercepting high level sewer His
present financial embarrassment is due to
the fact that he incurred obligations to
the amount Of about $4,000 in this enter
prise.
Mr. Bieber's other enterprises have been
ments which are now maturing and the
fact that no profit has, thus far. been de-
rived from the sewer venture. Mr.. Bieber
would be perfectly solvent.
1.-The more valuable portion of his property
Is unincumbered, and Il is hoped that the
amount realized from this and his other
assets will cause but q small loss to his
creditors. Owing to the strain upon his
nervous system Mr.. Bicber has, since his
return from Europe some three weeks ago.
been confined to his house."

WITHDRAWN FROM CUBA
RETCRN ORDERED OF THREE REGI-
MENTs OF INFANTRY.

York as Soon as Possible.

AS result of recent consultations by the
Secretary of War with Lieut. Gen. Miles,
commanding the army, and Maj. Gen.
Wood. commanding the division Of Cuba,
orders were today issued at the War De-
partment for the return to the United
States from Cuba of the I'd. 9TH and Sth
Regiments of Infantry. These troops will
be modified at the nearest available points
of debarkation at once and will be trans
ported soon as t. necessary transporta-
ton arrangements can he perfected. The
troops are distributed as follows:
Second MISUNDERSTANDING Com
panies d. D. 1 and NJ. at Pasa Caba,los;
Company A, at Sancti Spiritus: Company
c. Sagua la Grande: Company K. Trinidad
Company l.. Caibarien. Companies E. F
and H of the I'd Infantry are at Fort
Thomas. KY, and Company G is at Column
bus Barracks, Ohio.
Fifth Observation-Disclosures Companies
A. c. and are at Santiago: Company B.
at Baracoa; Company D, at FL Caney; Com
pany E, at San Luis; Company II, at Guam
tanamo Companies 1. X, L and M of the
9Th Infantry at Fort Sheridan. III.
Eighth MISUNDERSTANDING Com
panles A, B, C. d. E. F, and H are at
Havana: Companies l, X, l. and M of the
Sth Infantry are at Fort Smelling. MINI.
The troops in Cuba ordered home are to
start Immediately" but inasmuch as the
transports that will be used in the move
ment are now in New York 1t will hardly
be possible for them, under the most favor
able circumstances, to start for home with
in ten days or two weeks, at least. They
will all be brought to the port of New York
and their future stations will be deter
mined by the time they reach that port.
The recall of the Cuban troops is the first
step in the program of the War Depart
ment for the replacement of the volunteer
army in the Philippines with troops of the
regular establishment. 1t is intended to
-Al
unteers in the Philippines in November
next, and to have the majority of the reg
ular troops destined to that country there
before the volunteers start home. The de-
plorable state of affairs in China has I'M
doubtedly caused the military authorities
to hasten the departure of the outgoing
troops as much as possible with a view of
utilizing them for the protection of Ameri-
can interests in China. in case 1t is found
necessary to divert them from their origi-
nal Observation-Disclosures.

A SHADE OF DIFFERENCE
WEATHER ONE DEGREE COOLER
THAN 1T WAS YESTERDAY.
The Uninitfated 10th to Grant the
One POint-COmparisOns With
other Places.

The cruel announcement comes from the
United States weather bureau that there is
nothing in sght-absolutely nothing-to
bring about a cessation of the hot wave
at present diligently engaged in scorching
Washington. The city is sweltering again
today under a July sun of exceptionally
torrid intensity. The asphalt pavements,
cooked beneath the torrid rays into soft
sun, but to the added discomfort of hui
manity. dancing waves of heat.
From above and from Under foot people
in town today have suffered from heat
which has seemed at times almost unbear-
able. Old Borcas. with his accustomed
contrariness. has retired to his caverns to
horde up all the wind of creation. The
clustering blasts which would prove ac
Ceptable at this time will be set loose in
February and March next to complete
the freeZing-out of the population.
Students of weather have discovered there
is tacit understanding between the reign
ing deties of the elements. These gods
are never at cross purposes. Each one IS
assigned a period of triumph, and the
others. generously void of all jealousy, keep
hands off.
There are occasions when two or more of
the weather dealers cooperate. In the
