GAMBLING BILL DELAYED.
Will be Brought Up for Action
Today.
(sneciaI Corresponde

Especial Correspondence
Cheyenne. WyO.. Feb. 9.-Opponents
of the anti-gambIing bill scored a vic
tory in the upper house of the state
legislature today when the friends of
the bill attempted to force its imme-
date consideration. The galleries were
filed with women and men who have
been taking an active part in the war
on gambling and great was their sur
prise when the senate refused to con-
slider the bill today, but instead made it
the special order for next Monday af
ternoOn at 3 O'Clock.
A large number OF the petitions have
been received from all parts of the
state protesting against the present
laws, that permit gambling, and re-
questing the legislature to pass the
anti-gambling bill now before that
body. The largest petitions were from
Evanston, Laramie and Cheyenne. the
one from this city being over thirty
feet in length and containing the
names Of over One-half of the resi-
dents of the city 1t was stated on
this petition that the names had been
gathered inside of fOrty-eight hours
and that not more than ten of every
hundred persons asked to sign the pa
per had refused.
Friends Of the gambling bill are more
determined than ever to fight il out to
a finish. They are gaming strength
daily, and local gamblers are becoming
alarmed over the situation.

Railroad circles viii be thrown into
feverish excitement again this morning,
if the latest report concerning western
railroad development is substantated,
as now appears likely. The rumor is
that big money .eombina. headed by
Harry Gushing and Dick Gray has laid
plans for nav transcontinental sys-
tenn, to extend direct from Cape Some
to Bountiful and thence to New York
City. taking in several towns along the
route The scheme contemplates the
acquisition of all important existing
lines between the points named. This
is in order that the new system may
have no competition. The present roads
viii be torn UP and the new one built
along the same rights of way they now
occupy.
Neither Mr.. Cushing or Mr.. Gray
could be found in the city yesterday,
but a railroad man who is in a position
to familiarize himself with the dOings
of the magnates, gave out the informa-
ton. He says it is the intention of the
syndicate to fight Hartman to the
death.
A feature of the new system will be
Alaskan scenery. The line from Nome
viii come down the middle of the St
Lawrence river a distance of about
200 miles in order to afford a, better
view of both banks. The islands in the
stream win be tunneled through. The
undertaking from an engineering
standpoint is a great one. A steel
bridge viii be laid between Vancouver
island and Seattle.

The End Mans Indignation.

pie anyway you look at en- said the
lOIUaCiOuS landlord of the tavern at Pet
tyville. They don't look ike anybody else
in the Twin world. and their actions are a.
blamed sight quainter than their looks;
they swing on all the pOmpOsity of a
tTeeful of horned owls, and are always
kickity- kickin about sOmethin like a
skeleton haVin' a fit on a hard wood floor.
Tell YOU one instance of their queer
ness: The manager OF minstrel troop,
that was here last winter. who had with
stood the gags Of his various end men for
tWcnty-seVen years. laughed 50 immod-
erately at "A joke that was told him by
the proprietor of the Town HalI-and. ac-
cOrdin % my way Of thinkin, IL wasn't
so am-baSted much OF a joke either
that ne busted blood vessel and died
right away from the effects of it. And
d jing. one of the end men took It as a
personal affront to himself and immedi-
ateIy handed in has resignation and quit
the company in the talleSt kind of high

IRRIGATION RESOURCES
Storage Reservoirs Necessary to Re
deem the Arid West.

Exclusive of Alaska and outlying pos
sessions, One-third of the whole United
States is vacant and at the disposal of
congress. For the most part it is open
to homestead entry and settlement, and
much of it consists Of land possessing
great fertility except for the lack of
water. In different sections are to be
found mountain masses from which
come perennial streams whose waters
are now used to some extent to moisten
the parched lands. At intervals there
occur local storms or floods inundating
large tracts. There is available water
for the reclamation Of a considerable
portion of this arid land if it could all
be saved and put to use, says F. H.
Newell, photographer of United States
geological survey.
Work has been undertaken by indi-
yiduals and by corporations to con-
struct bitches, canals, and reservoirs
to supply the lack of moisture. As a
rule the smaller works taking water
from perennial streams have been not
only successful but sources of great
profit to the owners; the larger works,
however, almost equally without eX-
ception, have proven financial failures
and their owners have become bank
rupt The great works, built in the
hope of securing certain and Derma-
nent revenue drawn from the farmer
latter ulWillingiy have become bene-
factors of the public.
The lesson is being slowly but GER
tainly taught that reclamation on
large scale cannot be made a source of
profit except under extraordinary COM
binatiOn of circumstances. The great
storage reservoirs and canals are COM
parable in one sense to lighthouses and
harbOr improvements; they are neces-
saTy and worth far more than they
cost, but under the existing state of
civilization they cannot be made to
contribute exclusively to the welfare
of the builders. The indirect gain or
unearned increment of value is so wide
ly diffused that the general public reaps
the larger reward
We are confronted with a situation.
where there is 4 vast amount Of fertile
land to be reclaimed and considerable
quantities of water to be conserved and
brought to this thirsty land. BY such
action millions of homes can be Gre
ated and the commonwealth enormous
~ strengthened, by the addition of a
producing population where each head
of family owns and lives upon his
farm. To bring about this happy result
it is Impossible to trust to speculative
enterprise. because of the fact that
profits cannot be made in the construc-
ton of work unless the population be
comes tenants of a great land-Owning
MONOPOLY.
Public funds must be wisely used in
the construction of works of reclama-
ton and this viii surely come about
when the people of the country are
conversant with the facts. These facts
are being obtained by the investiga-
tfons of the United States geological
survey in the water resources Of the
country and the extent to which the
arid lands can be redeemed by irriga
ton. The survey is doing excellent
work

New York Feb. 10.-The report that
a combine is being formed in Salt Lake
to fight the Hartman syndicate created
CONSERVATION in financial circles today.
In some quarters it was discredited,
but the probabilities are the announce
ment viii cause an unprecedented fur
Ty on the stock market tomorrow.
E. II. Hartman had very little to
say regarding the report. though it was
evident from his demeanor that he has
anticipated the move for some time.
Il do not at present know just what
are the intentions of Messrs. Gushing
and Gray said Mr. Hartman, but 1
am of the opinion that a community OF
interests can perhaps be arranged.
People who have watched the pro-
gress of American railroading recently
Will not be surprised over the an
nOUncement that the Sanpete Valley
has acquired the New York Central and
will build an airline from Manti to
Buffalo. The deal. it is understood,
was closed up yesterday, the articles
of Incorporation for the intermediate
part of the system will be filed at Jer-
sey City within the next few days. In
view of the newest development, it is
likely that the Sanpete Valley COM
pany's negotiations for the Mexican
Central viii be seriously interfered
with.
The following dispatch, confirming
the report, was received late last night:
Manila, P. l., Feb. 10.-Chauncey NJ
Depew was asked today if the reported
sale of the New York Central to San
pete Valley interests was fact?"

New York, January H.-The French liner La Gascogne arrived in port today with two of her lifeboats smashed, the rails on her starboard quarter twisted and broken, and her four hundred steerage passengers not yet recovered from the fright occas- toned by the battering she received from two terrific seas. The saloon passengers suffered a moment of terror that will cause them to remember the voyage.
 When LaGascogne left Havre she had not been headed westward many hours when the first of the bad weather developed. It came in the shape of gales from many points of the compass, and lasted for thir- ty-five hours The first of the gale during the weathering of which great sea swept across the liner, was encountered early Fri day morning In a short time after it be- gan to blow, its strength had so increased in fury that the vessel was rolled and
