INTERIOR EXPANSION. Congress Should Provide for It.
From the St. Paul Globe.l

From the St. Paul Globe.l
 During the last ten years the United States Government has expended nearly one-half million dollars in making surveys, ascertaining the amount of rainfall. and gathering other necessary data, from what is known as our arid section, with view to the inaugura- ton of a governmental plan of irriga- tion.
 The reports of these iuvestiga- tions show that there are about 75,000,0 900 acres of land now unpro- ductive which can be rendered highly productive.
 The Globe is not opposed to any legitimate expansion, either ih the line of the acquisition of territory or.of foreign commerce, but it is opposed to policy which places foreign expan- sion before home development.
 DUTY OF CONGRESS.
 Congress should at this session make start in the line of national irriga- tion. It is not alone the building up of empire, where now the coyotes starve, but also the preservation of our fast vanishing forests and protection from the devastating ravages of food, which this proposition embraces.
 
 THE GREATEST QUESTION.
 Without doubt the problem of irri- gation with its corollaries is the most important and far-reaching proposition ever brought before Congress. Beside it the Isthmian canal project seems in- significant.

much to be regretted, and that If l
full discussion of the bill We're wanted
there never should have been call OF
the house.
Mr.. Stevens. author of the measure,
said it was his intention that there
should be an open, frank debate of the
bill upon it's merits. He was
sorry that the situation
was SO aggravated, but he thought il
unwise for the friends of the bill to re-
cede from their position in the con
test now that the deadlock was on.
At o'clock Mr.. Overlook moved to
raise the call and ON the roll call
which followed 50 voted for the mo-
ton and As against. The proposition
was lost by one vote.
A few minutes later the motion to
adjourn was put with no change in
the position of the factions, the mo
ton being voted down by so to As. 1t
was hoped that Mr.. Sturdovant who
favors the bill, would come down on
the $50 train and thus raise the dead
lock.

SUSPECT THE ST. PAUL.
Electric Line May Be Owned by Big
Steam Road.

Milwaukee. March 20-The opinion
is growing that the proposed Milwau-
kee and Lake Geneva electric railway
that has asked for entrance into the
city is being pushed in the interest of
the st. Paul road and is designed in
time, to become a part of that giant
system. Old Tailroaders point to the
fact that the men who are named as
being behind the new road are old st,
Paul road men. S. Nj. Green is The
agent for the Merrill estate and has
been associated with the st. Paul road
an outsider is desired and w, II, Shell
don has been a civil engineer for the
road almost since the beginning Of
time and has often been associated
with plans that required. in the begin
ming, the presence of someone who
would in reality be the st. Paul road
under cover.
1t is argued that, as Chicago sends
about 5000 people to the Lake Geneva
country every Sunday during the sea-
son, milwaukee DelnS a SOOu SUNDAY
excursion town. would send almost
half as many, and that business would
make the line good piece of prop
crty. For the present it is believed
that the electric plans will be carried
out, but when the bus less is worked
up to the right point, the railroad
men look to see the st. Paul's trains
running over the tracks of the new
road to Lake Geneva, though they
probably will not run through the city,
but will connect with the Chicago di-
vision south of the city,
This line takes in HaIe's Corners,
the Muskego lakes, Mukwonago,
Tischigon, Big Bend and the Beulah
lakes.
