THREW MONEY AWAY.
1t Come Easy and Gates Was Willing
to Distribute Some.
(San Francisco ExaminerD

(San Francisco EXaminer)
John w. Gates of Chicago, who has
made millions in iron and steel AMI
fought on their own ground the Stan
dard Oil clique, Morgan, Widener and
Other. fasteners to whom he has pub
ticly referred as kid glove capitalists,
is at the Palace with three friends from
New York. one from St Louis and one
from Chicago. 1t is a stag party and
Gates says his friends and himself are
out here solely for pleasure. They are
going to shoot pigeons and ducks over
at the Country club in Marin county
for three o. four days as the guests
of Alex Hamilton.
Gates, besides being a shrewd and
successful merchant, is a bold plunger
in railway and industrial shares. From
the stories told about him he has, in
addition. had phenomenal luck at cards
and on the race track and, all in all,
is a very picturesque character
It was at the Paris exposition, how
ever, in the summer of 1900, that Gates
made a reputation as millionaire With
money to throw at the birds. Flush
with an abundance of French and I'm
glish coins, he began to distribute them
in a most unique manner. He got up
in the Eiffel tower and commenced
throwing handfuls down among the
great crowd below. The surprise of the
people at the rain of money may well
be imagined. And then what a scram-
BILE for the lucre. Gates was d very
generous god directing the little finan-
cial storm, and might have continued
indefinitely had not gendarme ascend
ed the tower and arrested him on sus-
picion of lunacy.
The French policemen soon saw that
Gates was in his right mind and rather
admired him when he remarked I've
won about 100000 on the French and
English races and | might as we'll leave
a little of it here. 1t won't hurt me
and / guess the crowd down below are
not kicking"
Gates name has been mentioned in
connection with a number of big poker
games. He is credited with having
PLAYED in a game at a New York hotel
in March, 1900. The sitting lasted
about forty-eight hours. Five wealthy
men were at the table and 81 600, 900 is
reported to have changed hands. Mr.
Gates, so it is said won 100000
One of his great business coups was
the organization of the American Stee
& Wire company. 1t controlled al

PUEBLO.

With over 500 people in the hall and
the floor crowded to degree where
dancing was an effort, st. Ignatius
church closed one of the most success
full fairs and bazaars given in its his
tory. Board of Trade hall has seldom
witnessed uch a crowd at a social af-
fair and the church has good reason
indeed to be proud of its success. a
world of credit is due Father Ley and
his able assistants for providing such
a splendid source of entertainment and
the long established reputation the
church enjoys in this line is dOubly
added to. From start to finish the fair
has been great success and no one
who attended failed to thoroughly en-
joy themselves. The voting contests
have proved particularly interesting
and some of them were productive of
no little excitement.
In the contest for the silver lantern
for the most popular conductor Michael
Garrett of the Rio Grande defeated his
Santa Fe opponent His record was
$92.05 against H. H. McDonalds $64. 95.
In the side board contest Mrs. VIII
Walker won with $123.l0, against Mrs.
Ben Vests $17.10. Dan Norris won the
rifle with $1440. The stove contest was
won by Mrs. ]. f. Mcdonald with
S2T.15. Mrs. Jesse Mitchell had 5000.
All in all the fair was about the best
yet held in Pueblo and the next event
given by the church will be awaited
with much anticipation

ELECTRIFIED THE WEST.

Presidents Irrigation Policy the
Greatest Feature of Message.
Chicago, Dec. 3.-George H. Maxwell
executive chairman of the National IT.
rigatfon association. in speaking to-
night of the presidents message. said:
1.-The presidents message recon-
mends to congress a national policy
for the storage of the waters that now
go to waste in the arid region. and the
reclamation and settlement of the arid
public domain, which, if carried out
will result in practically doubling the
wealth. resources and population of the
United States within a generation. The
president has outlined this whole policy
in such a logical way that it shows that
he thoroughly understands the problem
and what is necessary to be done to
solve it, He knows that water is the
life of the arid region, and that the
forests must be preserved as the pri-
mary source of water supply.
He shows, however, that forests
alone are not enough. They must be
supplemented by great storage reser-
voirs. to be built and maintained by
the national government as internal
improvements. The president SHOWS
further, that where the arid public
lands are to be reclaimed the national
government must also build great main
line canals to bring water within reach
of settlers and reserve the lands for
home builders His familiarity with
western conditions enables him to
speak with authority when he says
that the problem must be solved by
the national government and not by
the states.
This message will electrify the west,
because it opens up such gigantic pos
sibilities for increasing population and
prosperity in that region. 1t will have
the support of every thinking man and
the business men of the country who
have Loyalty supported the national IL
rigation movement will be more than
gratifed that it has received this en-
dorsement. The president has answered
every objection to the policy, and dem
onstrated that it's Inauguration would
benefit every section of the country and
every class of the American people. He
shows that it is one of the greatest
questions before the country today

TIN FOUND IN IDAHO.

Discoveries on Panther Greek Cause
Excitement at Salmon City.
Tin has been struck in quantities that
have created excitement in Idaho ac-
cording to n. l. Andrews. one of the
early settlers and prominent citizens Of
Salmon City. The strike was encoun-
tered on Panther creek, not far from
Salmon City. and accounts for the mys-
terry of quantities of stream tin found
for years in the water of this district.

last night. The country is rich. but

is via Salmon City. Contrary to gen
eral belief, it is open all the year. There
is no rush on as yet. In summer the
entire distance can be covered in four
days from Salmon City In winter it
will take longer, but the trip can be
made with little delay and in perfect
safety. There are routes in from Boise
and Stanley basin. but they are impas-
sibIe in winter and do not afford the
timber. grass, water and other advan-
tages found along the Salmon City

WILHELMINA'S HUSBAND

Amsterdam. Dec. R-In spite of official

drinking freely. and duel with swords
was fought after dinner, Van Tets was
wounded. He has sine" been removed To-

as gathered from the various continental
newspapers charges Prince Henry with
misconduct and neglect, and repeats ru-
mOrs of his deep drinking and heavy
gambling debts, which Queen Wilhclmin1
declined to pay.
Another point of disagreement between
tipathy to Holland and his own unEov-
eTuabIc passion for hunting. which re-
suited in his long absences i'm Germany.
1t is said that the queens mother inter
fered and taxed her SOn-in-law with his
misbehavior but without effect, and fin
ally the matter developed into an es-
arrangement between mother and daugh-
ter.
In regard to the quarrel at the dinner
at Het Loo and the resultant duels an
other rumor represents Major Van Tets
as having received a violent kick I'm the
stomach. which caused him severe in
ternaI injuries. and it is supposed that
the fear that his death might lead to
revelations is the real reason for some
thing of the truth being permitted to
leak out after the matter was officially
denied.
The latest news. however, says that
Major Van Tets is progressing favorable.
and it is said that the queens mother
has been able to effect something like
reconciliation between the queen and her
husband.
Prince Henry has a record of several
duels i'm his student days. He has always
been exceedingly unpopular in Holland.
where. since 1870 there have been morbid
fears of annexation schemes on the part
of Germany. and on this account the
friends of Prince Henry declare he never
has had fair play.
