TO SUPREME BENCH
Oliver Wendell Holmes is Made Asso-
ciate Justice

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Aug. 11.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt late this afternoon an
nounced that he had appointed Hon.
oliver Wendell Holmes, chief justice
of the supreme court of Massachusetts,
to be an associate justice of the su-
preme court of the United States, vice
Mr.. Justice Gray, resigned.
The resignation of Justice Gray
was due to i'll heath. Several months
ago he suffered stroke of apoplexy,
which some time later was followed by
another. He has not appeared on the
bench since he was stricken the first
time. His advanced age-74'years-
told against his recovery with serious
force. Realizing that he probably
never would be able again to assume
the place which he so long had filled
with distinguished ability and honor,
he decided a short time ago to tender
his resignation to the president.
With the exception of Mr.. Justice
Harlan, he served on the bench of the
United States supreme court longer
than any of his present colleagues
He was appointed an associate justice
by President Arthur on December 10
1881, his service extending therefore
through period Of nearly twenty-onC
years.
Judge Holmes, whom the president
has selected as Mr.. Justice Gray:
uccessor, is one of the most distin
gushed lawyers and jurists of Massa
chusetts. His career on the bench
particularly as chief justice of the
Massachusetts supreme court, has
attracted wide attention. Like Jus
tice Gray, he is q native Of Massachu
etts. He is Il son and namesake o
the late DIR. Holmes, the poet ant
essayist.

and in different parts of town the
screams of frightened women and
children could be heard above the din
of the storm. When daylight came
the damage done by the wind was
visible in every corner of the town

streets in the residence district with
here and there a house partly unroof-
ed or section of bill boards llttering
the sidewalks. In the business district

MONDELL ON IRRIGATION.
Wyominq's Congressman Shows Why
States Should Not Undertake
the Project.

Washington. June 13.-In the house
yesterday afternoon Mr.. Mondell of
| Wyoming submitted an extended argu-
ment in favor Of the national irriga-
ton bill. The amount of land that
might ultimately be reclaimed was es-
timated at between 5000, 900 and TO-
900 600 acres. He discussed fully the
reasons why the states could moi under
take the work. The wisdom Of nation
al aid in the reclamation Of the arid
lands Of the west had been demonstrate
ed to the satisfaction of the people and
both political parties in national con-
ventions had declared for it. The fear
expressed in some quarters that an
increased in this irrigated area would dis
astrously affect the values of farms in
the middle west was clearly without
reasonable foundation and was an X
tremely narrow and provincial view Of
. great national question.
It was estimated that the pending bill
would produce a fund from the sale
Of public lands of between $4,000. 900
and $2.5OO. 900 which would gradually
increase. It was also estimated that
the cost OF bringing water to the set,
tier would be about $40 per acre. At
the present rate the bill would bring
$50. 900 acres under irrigation annu.

will be succeeded by w. R. Mckeen,
jr., at present master mechanic of the

comes effective at once. 1t is under

The Republicans Cheyenne CORE
spondent wired this morning that he
had heard the report of Mr.. Higgins
resignation and the promotion of Mr..
McKeen in that city, but had been I'M
able to secure confirmation of the
truth of the report. He said there had
been talk for a day or two, but that
those in authority had dismissed the
Tatter by saying that nothing official
had come, and until that came. they
could say nothing.
The same disposition was encounter
ed here today. While some of the To-
cal officials claimed to believe the mat
ter, they said they would not be quot
ed for the reason that the Omaha Of
ficials would the change by
official circular when they were ready.
1t was said here that if Mr.. Mckeen
went to Omaha he would in all prob
ability be succeeded at the Cheyenne
shops by Assistant Master Mechanic
Alex Stuart, who was competent to fill
the position. having been connected
with the motive power department Of
the Wyoming and Nebraska divisions
for many years. The anne Of Ed Tier.
hey. formerly master mechanic OF the
shops here. was also connected with
the Cheyenne position in an indefinite
way. Mr.. Tierney is in business at
Rawlins, having retired from the rail

Three solid carloads of glass, forty.
five tons in all. will shortly be set in

will be twenty-four feet wide. the full
width of the lantern. The others will
be in the roof, sloping down on either
side to the edges of the building.
They will be each twenty feet wide,
and will be each half way from the
lantern to the side walls.
AS Dol as the side walls are COM
pleted these lights will be put in and
the roof finished. Brick work on the
walls TO- reaches almost to the caves
OF the roof. Machinery continues to 60
