WASH, says:
The purchase of 10000 acres of land
near Kennewic by the Northern Paci-
fic railroad, including the holdings of
three defunct ditch companies, is the
first step in an immense irrigation
scheme. It can be definitely stated
that the deal will be closed in a few
days and that the canals will be re-
opened and extended. The land will
be offered practically at the cost of
putting water in it and an effort will
be made to put from 5000 to 5000 peo-
pie upon the tract as soon as possible
after the water is flowing. The prop
erty involved in the transaction is said
to be worth 100000 and as much more
will be required to complete the irri.
cation works.

A DISGRACE TO CIVILIZATION,

He pictured atrocities of the most hor.

gun rule is the truest description of

state enterprises, as a third or half
the shares in them are invariably held

Leopold and the government have
made some show of action against the
agents of some of the Upper Congo
company, lit only minor officers are
ever touched and the so-called reforms
are merely intended to throw dust in
the eyes of the public, whose indigna.
tion has been aroused by the stories

present systems for the collection of
rubber and the recruitment of natives
continue the Congo Free State will
remain disgrace to the white mans

AMERICAN IRON INVASION.
English Firms Preparing to Meet 1t by
Finding New Mineral Beds.


Finding New Mineral Beds.
New York, Jan. 4.-Some big firms
in the North of England, in order to
meet the threatened invasion by
American iron and steel goods, have
lately devoted time, trouble and money
to the search for new beds of iron of a
high quality near the already existing
collieries, says dispatch to The Trib-
une from London. The Northern coun-
tries are full of coal, but up to the
present time, many of the largest iron
works have had to depend largely on
Spanish and other extraneous supplies
of iron ore. That will, however, no
longer be the case, should the discov-
cries reported in Cumberland and else
where prove authentic. Vast beds of
excellent Hematite are said to have
been already tapped in more than one
locality and the quick success of these
tentative efforts is expected to stimu-
late the search further.

Zone of Territory Six Miles Wide to

Policing of Entire Tract in Hands o.
American Government, which
Maintains Order.
Features of the Protocol Between the
United States of America and =,
Nicaragua.

Washington, Jan. 4.-Some Of the
main features of the protocol between
the United States and Nicaragua re-
ferred to in President Zelaya's mes
sage to his congress have been made
known in recent press dispatches from
Managua. But there are many other
important features which have not yet
been disclosed, one of these being the
complete American jurisdiction and
the establishment of American courts,
civil and criminal, throughout a zone
six miles wide and extending from
ocean to ocean and including the pro-
posed terminal on the Atlantic and
Brito on the Pacific. The entire polio
ing of this large tract also is placed
in the hands of the United States SO
that it has the power to preserve order
and after that to issue judicial process
extending throughout this zone.
Besides the authority of American
courts and of American police on the
six miles zone the chief features of the
protocol are in giving lease in per
petuity Of this tract to the United
States and at the same time giving an
American guaranty that the inde-
pendence, sovereignty and integrity of
Nicaragua shall not be disturbed by
the rights thus conferred upon the
United States.
No exact information is obtainable
as to the price specified in the protocol
as payment to Nicara qua for the grant
to this country. It can be stated pos
itively, however, that this price is
much less than was expected when the
negotiations began and that it is con.
sidered by officials as reasonable. II
is understood that at the outset the
view in Nicaragua was that $20,000,00O
would be proper figure for the grant
to this country and about $5,00O,00O fo1
Costa Rica's grant. But while there
is no information as to the final sum
in the protocol it is known to be fan
short of the above figures. AS the ces
sion takes the form of perpetual
lease, it is probable that the protocol
includes the feature of an annual rent
as part payment.
S. A protocol with Costa Rica, identical
in form with that with Nicaragua, ex
cept in the matter of price and terri
tory leased has been in course of nego
tiation and it is understood that sat
isfactory conclusion will be reached
with that government.
