tremendous detonations in succession

This lasted through Wednesday

thunderings of the volcano were heard
throughout the Caribbean sea.
The eruption began Wednesday. A

Mr.. Newlands concluded the discus
sion by answering a suggestion that
perhaps the proposed legislation would
prove to be unconstitutional.
The Uniter States owns the great
areas in the States mentioned in our
BILL" said he, "and by virtue OF that
ownership has an unassailable right to
d. whatever addresses itself to Con-
g:ess as proper to make that land OF
value for settlement That the land
be made available for actual settlement
in eighty acre lots in good faith set
tiers under homestead regulations is
ell that is asked"
The effect OF the gathering was I'M
deniably great. It seems unlikely that
tie irrigation bill will be adopted a

be no doubt that the Newlands dime
has contributed a great deal towar'
ultimate success. The irrigation pol
