Europeans read Americans out Of the

NATIONAL IRRIGATION.

The situation in congress in reference
to the national irrigation movement is
about this: The senate is in favor Of it,
but the Republican leaders in the house
are IN opposition, notwithstanding the
Republican platform strongly endorsed
the national irrigation policy. Appar-
emily these leaders art blind 10 the great
popular awakening OF Interest in the
movement
The Republican leaders in the house
ignore the Republican plaItorm-eVen
sneer at it. Mr., GrOsyenor, OF Ohio,
speaking on the river and haTbOr bill
said: several times in the course of my
brief career on this door have had &C
caSlOn to say that some Of these Orna-
mental propositions ia the national plat
form have never been approved by me,
because did not know that they were
there"
Mr.. Cannon, chairman of the house
committee ON appropriations, said that
the plank in the Republican platform
didn't mean anything, that it was only
put in to Catch few rotten borough,
out west" Evidently with hin, as with
other Republican leaders in the house, 1t
was promise made but 10 be broken.
This disregard OF the promise OF the
platform among the Republican leaders
In the house goes 50 far that the cOu-
feTees from the house on the Indian bill
have refused to concur ia the senate
amendment appTopuating $1,000 To
begin work on the San Carlos reservoir,
and 1t Is announced that the speaker
VIII refuse to give consideration To the
NeWla bill, which the committee Oh
irrigation have agreed to report favora-
bly, with some amendments.
\ Olil WAS Introduced in the senate
By Senator HamsboruUgh, OF North Da.
kota, which Was substantially the same
AS the Newland bili. This Hansborough.
NewIand bill is measure which should
have tie united support OF the west
Its passage at this session of congress
would give "A tremendous impetus to

COPPER MARKET IMPROVED
Fears of a Honey Squeeze at the Close
of the Year Are No Longer En-
tertained and Easy Money

COPPER MARKET

New York, Dec. 2S.-The speculation in
sugar during the week had dominant
influence on the stock market, prices re-
ceding while that stock was under bear
pressure and rising when the bears IN
sugar We're routed and obliged to cover.
Fears of a year-end money squeeze
have not proved justified, and the mar
ket ignored the quiet general decrease
reported in gross earnings of railroads
for the third week in December. Expec-
tation of easy money in January after
year-end requirements are satisfied has
led to some buying of stocks, but deal
ings have been for the most part in pro-
fessonal hands.
In some investments, buying of high
grade bonds and stocks is reported.
The improvement in copper trade con-
dtionS has removed an incubus from thc
market.
All but a few stocks made gains in the
opening dealings, but none exceeded a
fraction except sugar, which rose 13s.
Amalgamated copper fell IN. Railroad
stocks were feverish an traffic returns.
Pacifics, however, held at "a parity or
sold slightly above yesterdays close.
Large buying of Amalgamated advanced
it to 72A
Sugar was less active, and vibrated
between 116 and III. The increase of the
dividend in Pittsburg, Chicago. Cincn.
natl & st. Louis caused a demand for the
stock and it gained points.
American Express, Westinghouse and
New Jersey Central lost point each.
Renewed large buying Of sugar carried
it 3ss points over last night.
The general account maintained
strong tone, but the demand was fed by
realizing sales which kept the advances
within moderate limits. ..

BURGLARS AT WORK
TWO ATTEMPTS MADE TO ROB
CITIZENS OF BUTTE.
WORK OF MEN NOT N0vlCES
Police Find evidence to Show That the
Marauders Were Preparing for an
Extensive Raid on Business
Houses.

There were two attempted burglaries
reported to the police within the last "a
hours. Neither was successful, but Doth
bore evidence of the work of an or
ganized gang Of daring criminals.
Yesterday afternoon an employe of 5.
Carlson, a cigar manufacturer, mad oc-
casion to go to the warerooms OF the
factory, which are under the sidewalk
and in the basement beneath the State
Savings bank.
The discovery was made that an en-
trance had been cut through the doors
and partitions into the rooms where the
stock is stored. The work was done pe-
tween / and o'clock in the afternoon
So far as could be ascertained moth
ing was taken and it was question
whether the thieves were frightened
away or had prepared the way for an
entrance last night.
Acting on the latter theory policemen
were stationed on guard last night. but
no burglars showed up.
The other attempt was the burglarizing
of the storerooms of Reilly & Dwyer,
wholesale liquor dealers, in West Broad
way. One of the storerooms is in the
basement under saloon in the Colum.
bia block.
At the rear door the burglars tried to
unlock the barrier and broke off key
in the door. The latter is provided with
two locks, the keys in which must be
turned at the same time.
Failing to work the locks, the bur-
glars broke window. but were fright.
ened away before any goods could be
taken.

"GOING EAST' BEFORE THE DAYS
OF TIE AsAILROAD.
A STAGE TRIP OF 1900 MILES
Across the Plains From Bannack City,
Montana, to Atchison, Kansas,
in the Dead or Winter.

"Speaking of stage coaches" said
Wilbur Sanders, Jr., at the Thornton
last evening, what do you think of stag
ing it 100 miles in the dead of VIM
ter?"
I'm the winter of ga, my father.
mother, brother and l, left Bannack,
Montana, and travelled to Atchison,
Kansas, in an open sleigh.
I'VE left Bannack early in January
and reached our destination before the
month was out"
What was the occasion of a trip at
such a timer" asked a bystander.
"Oh, We simply wanted to go East"
said Mr.. Sanders, land that was the
only way to get there
II haven't a very vivid recollection Of
the trip myself, as I was only three years
of age. but I don't believe We suffered
a bit from cold or exposure. during the
whole journey.
People nowadays complain If the
Pullman car is not heated to suit their
