THE PRESIDENTS PICKLE.
Shocking State of Affairs COnfronts
the People In the Dela ware
Addiclks Deal.

The statement of Postmaster General
Payne that President Roosevelt vas fully
aware of the deal that had been made
for the division of the spoils of Office in
Delaware is rather hard on a civil serv-
ice reformer as President Roosevelt pro-
fesses to be. 1t must be especially dis
h%eartening to those republicans who
were hopeful that their party would not
be disgraced by completely with the at
tempt of Addicks to purchase the Della
ware senatorship. That Mr.. Payne
should have given the Addicks faction
their share Of the political spoils was to
be expected, but that the president &C.
guessed in supporting the notorious Ad-
dicks, is a shock to all patriots who de-
mand decent government.
The offense that Miss Todd had COM
mitted and for which her dismissal was
requested, was that she opposed the Ad-
dicks faction and that alone is why Mr..
Payne, as official hesdsman, chopped off
her head. There was no word against her
personal or official conduct, no petition
rom patrons of the Office for her removal,
but she and her family were opposed to
Addicks. That was crime enough for
IIr. Payne.
A fellow feeling made him wondrous
kind to Addicks and his ambition to rep
resent Delaware in the United States
senate. The respectable faction of the
republican party in Delaware have been
trying to stem the tide of corruption and
have denounced Addicks as a debaucher
of the voters of the state, but Postmaster
General Payne has evidently determined
to aid him.
What will President Roosevelt do!
VIII he reinstate Miss Todd or stand by
the action of his postmaster general?
President Roosevelt can afford to be
independent of the Addicks faction, for
in any event they can but send a con-
testing delegation to the next national
convention, and their claim for recogni.
ton will be settled by that body where
the will Of the president, from the pres
ent outlook, will be omnipotent. But the
voters of Delaware and the whole coun.
try will hold him responsible and expect
him to carry out his own declaration that
words are good only when backed by
deeds"

Richard Fitzgerald, who was recent
ly released from the county Jail, where
he had been serving 20 months for ma
licious mischief, was arrested, Satur-
day night, for drunkenness. Fitzger-
aid has no hands, they having been
cut off some years ago by freight
train, but he has a long police record.
The particular mischief for which he
was given the 20 months was breaking
six lights of plate glass in the windows
OF Water street stores. Though unable
to feed himself, or do anything which
requires the use of his hands, Fitzger-
aid always succeeds in finding some
one who will assist him to drink rum.
When released from the jail. about
three weeks ago, he stayed in town for
day or two and then left. He says
that he has been in the Provinces.
When arrested he had nearly full
pint of whiskey and some money.

GREAT IRRIGATION Project.
Will Include Territory as Large as
RhoGe Island.

some of the great irrigation enter
prises ever projected in the United
States, and what is said to be the
largest in the world, has recently been
started in the state of Idaho" said R.
L. Blackburn of Boise City, Idaho, to
Washington Star man the other day.
"a tract of land as large as the state
of Rhode Island is to be brought under
ditch and made ready for farming and
fruit raising. The lands We're formerly
set aside for a national park because
of the wonderful scenery. BY a deal
with the state officials, who are taking
advantage of the Carey act of 1894,
making donation of 100000 acres of
arid lands to each state that will con-
struct canals and have the lands re-
claimed, the great park will become a
garden of small farms and vineyards.
THE enterprise includes the con-
struction of two irrigation canals and
laterals that will have combined
length of over 1000 miles. The main
canal will be sixty nine miles long and
eighty feet wide at the bottom. 1t will
carry a large river from the original
Snake channel. For this purpose a
dam forty feet in height will be con-
aCTOSS the oIldht. SuliiSlCiit
water has been appropriated from the
natural flow of the big river to supply
the canal and leave an abundance for
use by those owning riparian rights
farther down the stream.
1T is the purpose of the company to
harness the Shoshone falls and develop
power ness the Shoshone falls and de-
velop tending for forty-five miles from
the city of Shoshone to cover the coun-
try to be brought under cultivation by
means of two large canals. One canal
will be taken from the north side OF
the river and the other from the south.
The road will connect with the Oregon
Short Line at Shoshone.
Under the provisions of the Carey
act only 100 acres of this land can be
held by one man. The company plans
to have smaller holdings than this, and
many of the farms will be of the
twenty-acre Utah class. The country
is particularly adapted to fruit rals-
ing and general mixed farming as prac-
ticed by the Mormons of that district.
Alfalfa is the chief forage plant. and
grows to perfection. The country is
also a choice spot for growing prunes.
peaches and similar fruit.
The construction of these canals
and laterals will probably require five
| years hard work. When completed
the system will be the best in existence
| in the irrigated world. 1t is planned
to have electric car lines reaching ev-
cry farm and orchard, and, when the
country is settled to secure the rural
mail system. Public telephones and
all modern conveniences are to be add
ed to the comforts of making homes
under the canals. Many settlers are
located on their lands. awaiting the
coming of the water pitch"
