IRRIGABLE
LANDS
Being Gobbled up in Large
Tracts by Non-Re sident
Spectators.

Following is a portion OF an open
letter addressed TO the press of the
Western country by George H. Max
well, Chairman Of the Executive Com
mittee Of the National Irrigation AS
ISOLATION.
Ths press Of the country has with
remarkable unanimity, approved and
aided to bring about the Inauguration
Of the national irrigation policy. and
the mind a hardly conceive the
grandeur of the results that will be at
tanned if the public lands which are
susceptible Of irrigation can be re-
claimed and settled by small farmers
and actual home builders, under the
National Irrigation Act. thus creating
q dense population in a vast territory
that will otherwise remain utterly waste
and desolate.
What has been done in India and
Egypt will be cast in the shade by the
national benefits accruing to our pee
Pile if the irrigable public lands can be
reserved for actual settlers only and
made available for settlement by the
construction of national irrigation
works, as fast as, and no faster than
settlers will take the land and repay
the government can and must be re-
turned through a charge on the lands
reclaimed.
The grand national purposes Of the
National Irrigation Act are in grave
danger OF being thWarted and defeat
ed.
The adoption Of the national irriga-
ton policy and the increasing value Of
the land for range purposes has stimu-
lated a raid on public lands under which
they are being absorbed into private
o3nership il large tracts, without
either reclamation or settlement, at an
appalling rate. The entries have now
reached over two million acres a
month.
Only a trifling proportion Of these
entries are made by bona fide settlers.
The public lands are the greatest
asset Of the national government The
evil consequences to the people re-
sulting from their loss are far more
serious than would follow the loss Of
morey.
Unless the Desert Land Act and the
Communication Clause Of the Home
stead Act are repeal d at this session
of Congress, over twenty million acres
will be practically stolen by spectators
within the next year, a much more
serious loss to the government than
would be the loss in money from the
treasury Of the value Of the land.
Yet what a wave Of public indigna-
ton would sweep over the country and
find voice in the press if this session Of
Congress should pass a law under
which the treasury would be looted Of
such an enormous sum Of money as
the market value Of these lands.
The actual cash value Of public
lands which will be absorbed by speu-
lative entries within the next year, if
Congress does not shake off its apathy
and repeal these iniquitous laws in this
session Of Congress will be more than

 Kansas City.

Kansas City, Mo-, Monday. May 31.- Cattle receipts at Kansas City last week amounted to 22,570 head. against 19 73S the same week last year. Al though the run was 45OO less than the previous week. everything sold lower Proportion of beef steers was heavy, ard average sales were lowest of the season Some improvement was noted the last two days of the week on handy weight steers that just suited, but pig steers were no better. Top on fat steers was $5.05. Worst loss of week was or medium to good light weight hcifers, and they are 50 cents lower in cases. All kinds of stockers and feeders. she stocl1ers and stock calves were 25 to 30 cents lower. A pretty good set of Western feeders sold last week at $4.O0 to $4.25. Colonel Lockhart of Rocky Ford arrived at Kansas City Tuesday with twenty-eight loads of fed catGle, the biggest string of that class of cat tie received here in a long time. Most of the string were fat steers, which sold from S450 to s475 Some good heifers and bulls were also included, the former bringing S4.45 and the lat ter S3.50.
 The run yesterday was lighter than a week ago, especially at other markets, and trade opened up on a 10 to 15 cent higher basis than the close Friday. Of the 5000 cattle yesterday, one-third are in Texas division. leaving a reduced supply on native side. Very few west erns included.
 Sheep and lamb receipts at Kansas City last week were 7.254 head, against 21, ,096 the same week last year. Mutton and lamb prices came a little closer together during the week. Texans and AriZonas gained 10 to 15 cents. and lambs lost about the same. Wooded lambs brought s7.35. best spring lambs the same, clipped lambs $6.75, wethers $5.25, ewes $4.S5. Southwestern feeding sheep sold from $2.65 to $3.25, and lambs $3.50 to $4.00. Receipts yesterday were moderate at 5000 head, and the general market steady on natives and westerns, but slow on southern grassers. No Colorado lambs included in receipts yesterday.

THOUSAND DOLLAR BILL
Waiting for Owner to Come Around
 and Claim 1t.

New York, May 31.-W. J. Snyder, an Insurance man, is looking for the own CT of a Sl.000 banknote, which he found in the smoking compartment of Pull man car on the Reading road It has been a white elephant to him. The note Was d brand new yellow gold cer- tihcate. He thinks he knows the man who dropped it, but he can't find him.
 On the way from Philadelphia last Friday evening Snyder fell into conver- sation with flashily dressed man, who seemed to be in high spirits and ready to tell the story of his life on the slight est pretext. Incidentally he remarked that luck was all coming his way. and that he had just won S12.000 on the races at Morris park.
 When Snyder's face betrayed a shade of doubt at this statement the stranger drew out fat wallet from his inside pocket and showed a large bunch of below notes. Snyder left the compart- ment without learning the lucky indi- viduals name.
 Half an hour later. as the train was approaching the terminal, Snyder re- turned to the smoking compartment to light cigarette. In doing this he ac- c-dentally upset the box of safety matches on the floor of the car. In reaching down to pick them up again his hand encountered a crisp $1 900 note lie stared at it in amazement for a minute and then made a hasty tour of the train. seeking the man who had ex- hibited his wealth so freely q short time before. But that gentleman had left the train.
 snyder thereupon told the conductor Of his find. The latter demanded that the bill be turned over to his keeping as railroad property. Snyder refused to do so. but handed the conductor a visiting card with his name and ad- dress.
 That wasn't satisfactory and the ar gument following ended in threats of arrest. While one of the train crew was locking for a policeman. Snyder managed to persuade the rest that he meant well and they let him go with the money in his pocket.
 Next morning he deposited the note with d downtown trust company. Lat CT Snyder told his story to the presi- dent of the institution. The money now awaits its original owner

Much Capital Going Into
 Development Work
J. W. Hanna, We'll Known Colorado Pioneer Says Field Is the Richest
 He Has Ever Seen.

New York. May J1.-James w. Hanna of Denver. well known in Colorado as a pioneer in the mining history of that state. has just returned home after having spent several months in exam ming some new placer nnds located near the Colorado river in Utah and Arizona. Tn an interview he says:
 If these fields were away up m the north there would be thousands on the uail by this lime. but they are in the other direction The gold plaCers in the Grand Canyon of the Colorado are the most promising 1 have seen ana this year q great amount of development year a great amount of work will be done. Capital from the east is going there and some big enterprises are be- ing fitted out. l went down there g year ago and have taken up ground which l am working through a pipe line.
 There has been prospecting going on in a small way for years. the pros pectors hauling the dirt from an eighth to half a mile to water, but it had to be pretty rich to stand this. The banks are from 40 to 100 feet above the river and the richest of the gravel was skim med. Systematic work Mas now been started. The Hoskianna Gold Mining company of Boston capitalists has spent $250,000 and taken up about fif- teeen miles on the river. The Good Hope Mining company is putting in an electric plant twenty-five miles from the river, close to a big coal bed and will run feeders to the grounds and dispose of the power. It has had appli- cations for 500 horsepower already from prospectors. Electric power will be used to pipe the water from the river up the banks forty to seventy feet and great amount of gravel can be handled in this way. There is a stretch of forty miles up and down the river, where the bank runs ten to twenty feet and are rich enough to work and there is ar unlimited supply of water. The climate is. ideal and work can be prosecuted all the year round.
 "Cass Hite is down there and doing well. [ suppose every man in Colorado knows or him and his picturesque ca irecr. He has ground twelve miles above me and is doing well. There is quite Ia settlement around what has been named the Hite postofiice. EX-Repre- sentative Adams of Dolores and John s. Perky O: Denver are interested in ground there"
 The center of activity is about 120 miles from the Green river station on the Rio Grande Western road The outlitting point is Huntsville, a pros porous Mormon settlement midway be- tween Green river and the placer grounds. Private conveyances have to be taken from Green River station. but it is expected a stage line will be start ed soon.
 The gravel runs from 25 to 75 cents to the yard and with modern methods profit can be made from the poorest kind. An immense dredge. under the direction of Explorer canton, who passed through the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, is at V---E on the river.
