Denver, Col, Dec. Rev. j. A

Holy Cross of South Bend, Ind, has
returned from a visit to President

CONGRESS WILL SOON KNOW
WHAT HAS BEEN DONE.
WORK OF MAPPING WEST
Causing Friction Between Secretary
of Interior and Head of GeoIogi-
cal Survey.

Washington, Dec. 2.-Secretary
Hitchcock of the department of the
interior will submit to congress, prob
ably before the holiday recess, a re-
port outlining the steps which he
has taken thus far towards carrying
into effect the irrigation law. Prior
to the submission Of this report no
body will know, officially, where the
first irrigation works are to be erect
ed, although unofficial advices indi-
cate that one Of the first of these
works will be in Arizona. Under the
law the secretary of the interior is
required to submit to congress, once
each session, for it's information, a
statement as to how and where he is
expanding the irrigation fund, and the
report which will soon be due will be
the first of a series which will extend
far into the future.
Already there are indications Of a
| slight friction in the interior depart.
ment between the secretary and the
| geological survey as to the amount of
work which should be done in the
way of surveying and prospecting.
The survey is anxious to put a num-
Der of parties into the field with a
view to accurately mapping the semi
arid regions. The secretary is of the
opinion that enough of this mapping
has now been done to last the depart,
ment for a great many years, and
that the money coming into the irri-
cation fund should, as largely as pos
sible, be expended for irrigation works
and not for surveys.
Friends of the irrigation poject in
congress are inclined to agree with
the secretary. 1t is apparent that if
the geological survey undertakes to
press it's point there will be some live
ly times in Washington.
Secretary Hitchcock's report, now
about due, will not discuss, save in a
general way, the future plans of his
department regarding irrigation. 1t
will, however, go into minute detail
regarding those schemes already or
dered and in process of execution.

Concha Is Relieved,

Washington, Dec. minister
Concha has been relieved as repre-
sentative for Colombia by orders from
Bogota, and it is believed Dr.: Thomas
Herran, the present secretary of the
legation, will succeed him in a few
days. Meanwhile Herran has been
given power to prosecute negotiations
for the canal treaty.
The action of the Colombian govern
ment is believed to better the chances
of the canal treaty, since Concha has
been against the treaty, notwith-
standing instructions from his govern
ment.

LAKE SUPERIOR STEAMER DASH.
ED TO PIECES.
STRUCK BY HEAVY GALE
Three Schooners in Tow Break
AWay-TWo Reach Safe
Anchorage.

Sault ste. Marie, Mich, Dec. 2.-ln
the terrible gale on Lake Superior on
Saturday night, the steamer Charles
Hebard was driven on the rocky
shore at Point Mamainse, and was
soon dashed to pieces by the seas.
Her crew, consisting of13 men and a
woman cook, have not been heard
from, and it is feared all have per
ished. The schooner Aloha, n of
the consorts which the Hebard had in
tow, broke away from the steamer in
Lake Superior and has not been
heard from since. When last sighted
she was laboring heavily in the
trough of the sea. Little hope is en-
tertained for her safety or that of
the seven people on board. The
schooners Warrington and Francomb,
the other vessels of the tow, ran be-
fore the gale after breaking away
from the steamer and finally succeed
ed in reaching an anchorage at Cop
per Mine point. Tonight the tugs
General and Philadelphia were dis
patched from this port to bring the
two schooners here and to search for
some trace of the Aloha.
The four boats had loaded lumber
at West Superior and were bound
for Lake Erie ports. When in the
middle of Lake Superior on Saturday
night they were struck by a gale and
soon after the Aloha, the cal vessel
of the tow, parted her towline and
went adrift. When last seen she was
rolling in the trough, with none of her
canvas set. The remaining two con-
sorts either broke away or were set
adrift soon afterward. "
The first news of the disaster was
brought here at moor today by the
steamer Ossifrage, which arrived
from Mi%chipocotin. Mrs. Macarthur,
wife of the Captain of the Francomb,
came down on the Ossifrage. The
list of the members of the crew of
the Hebard, according to the last trip
sheet, is as follows:
George G. Ryan, captain, Detroit.
William Schumacher, first engineer,
Detroit.
Joseph Ray, second engineer, De-
troit.
T. F. Correll, first mate, Detroit.
A. Jackson, second mate, Detroit.
Charles. Barton, wheelman, Mount
Clemens.
John Koortas, Waterman, Detroit.
Neil Fay, Waterman.
William Egan, fireman.
George Turpi, deckhand.
Matthew Hudson, deckhand.
Mrs. Barnes, cook, Buffalo. .
The crew of the Aloha on her last
trip follows:
Peter Johnson, master, T~onaWanda.
Benjamin Berry, mate.
Mrs. Olson, cook.
G. Anderson. seaman.
William Much, seaman
s. G. Heller, IN
r. A Bell, seaman.
The steamer Hebard was owned by
Holland & Graves of Buffalo. She was
built in 1883, and registered 761 tons.
The Aloha was owned by the same
firm. She registered 521 tons.

Adopt 1t in the Philippines.
Washington, Dec. 2.-The republi-
a members of the Philippines COM
mittee of the senate are preparing to
recede from the position they took
last session regarding the Philippine
currency system. Events in the arch
ipelago are moving faster than these
senators thought they would do, and
it is now seen that it was not wise to
saddle free silver on the people. 1t
is understood that before the short
session of congress closes provision
will be made for either the straight
gold standard in the Philippines or
for the Conant plan, which provides
for limited silver currencsy on a two
to one basis, with gold behind it.

Little Over $I7 an Acre-DOes Not
Include this Years Crop.

A. +. Parker received tele-
phone message from DIR. j. b.
Morris of Lewiston, last Friday.
announcing the sale of the Denver
land syndicate holdings, amount
ing TO 272O acres in the center OF
the prairie, and embracing the
Denver townsite, to William Null
hall, a capitalist of LeMar, Iowa,
the consideration being s47 900, or
fraction over $l7 per acre. The
crop of the present year is not in
cluded in the sale, the syndicate
retaining the crop and paying this
years taxes. All of the GAO acres
of the townsite is included in the
sale, except the lots which have
been sold to individual owners.
amounting to about $50 lots in all.
Mr.. Mulhall inspected the land
two weeks ago and went to Lewis
ton to close the deal. 1t is under
stood to be his purpose to divide
the entire tract into 16O and 800
acre holdings, erect the necessary
buildings and sink for water at
different points, and then sell these
tracts at an advance to eastern
farmers.
The Denver Townsite company
was first organized in 1898 for the
purpose Of exploiting a town in the
center ci he prairie, the promoters
being Spottswood & Veatch, l. G.
Hattabaugh, Dernham 4 Kauf-
mann Of Moscow, and Vollmer and
scott, Robt. Schleicher and the
late B. F. Morris, Of Lewiston.
The whole of the land was original
ly acquired and located by Mr..
Morris away back in the early
sos, and there is very little waste
land on it. Shebang creek runs
through the northwest quarter
and arteisan water is found al
various depths. Better soil never
lay out of doors, and the crops
ra ised on it are magnificent.
The op ming up of this large
} body OF fine land to actual resident
owners will be great thing fol
Camas Prairie and Denver. Il
has been an eyesore to all oul
people to have it continue unde
the old conditions, when the entir'
tract was leased to one man, and
of course, it was useless to expec
the town to grow when there wer'
no residents in the immediat
neighborhood. 1t was like start
ing a town in a desOlate mountain
region, or in the heart of a reserva
ton. Progress under these con
ditions was impossible. We hop
the present sale will be the harbin
ger OF new and improved condition
