IRRIGATION WORK
SECRETARY OF INTERIOR OR
DERS BEGINNING.
Ten Million Dollars on Hand and
This IL Considered Ample for a
Start...Plans of Five Projects
Have Been Accepted by Score.
tary Hitchcock.

Washington, April 13.-ActuaI work
will commence this summer on five
huge irrigation projects, which have
heen undertaken by the national gov
eminent. Their object is the reclama.
ton of million acres of land. There
are $40 200, 900 on hand to begin the
work. This is regarded as ample to
make a beginning. Government Off.
Gals are not making any estimates as
to the amount which will be spent be-
fore the work is completed, but they
say that Tor every dollar OF outlay there
will DO ten-foid returns. The desert
is to be made to blossom as the rose.
The secretary of the interior has CIV
en- his approval to five irrigation pro-
jects, and the lands affected by them
have been withdrawn from entry or
sale. They are "impounded," so to
speak, until they shall be opened to
settlement in accordance with the terms
of the new irrigation law. For many
months these localities have been I'M
der examination by scores of expert en-
gineers photographers and surveyors,
who have mapped them, measured the
waters, explored the supplies, drilled
the beds, recorded the flows, and made
all manner of estimates calculated to
throw light on their adaptability to the
ends of irrigation. On the basis of
these reports Prof. F. II. Newell. of the
geological survey, recommended them
to the secretar.v, and the latter has Civ
en- orders that the work go ahead.
The work will be under the general
direction of Prot. Newell, who was Sc
lected for the duty by the secretary Of
the interior. George Y. Wisner, of De-
troit, Mich, has been retained as gen.
eral consulting engineer. Others on
the permanent engineering force are A..
P. Davis. who will have general super
vision of the engineering work; j. H..
Quinton, Prof. ii. A. Storrs and W. E.
Swift. In addition to these there will be
numerous engineers in the field.
The projects selected to make be-
ginning of this government-aided re-
clsmation of arid lands are situated re-
spectively in Montana, Wyoming, Colo
RADIO. Arizona and Nevada. Each pro.
ject is quite different from all others in
the character of engineering problems
to be solved and the scheme by which
| the water is to be made available.

CALL THE STRIKE OFF.
Amsterdam Strikers Protest Against
Committees Act.

committee b ACJ.
Amsterdam, April 13.-The work.
mems defense committee decided to
proclaim cessation of the general
strike at midday. The strike was nev-
or really effective.
At a monster meeting held later in
the day the Federated Trades Union re-
pudiated the action of the workmen' 8
defense committee and decided to con-
tinue the strike without the consent OF
the committee. The tnmult prevented
the members of the defense committee
from securing hearing. With the ex-
ception of the diamond cutters all the
men will remain out.
The home workmen's defense issued
manifesto explaining that continu-
ance of the strike will only expose the
strikers to the vigorous penalties of the
new anti-strike bill which has practi.
cally become law.
The committee hes therefore decided
to leave each trade union free to act as
it thinks best.
: The calling off of the strike has re.
suited in the holding OF angry mass
meetings of strikers.

Butte, Mont, April IA special to
the Inter- Mountain from Cinnabar says:
President Roosevelt is having the
time of his life in the National park.
Just now he is about thirty miles from
Fort Yellowstone, in the midst of a
herd of elk. In few days he will
move to another camp, where he can
observe buffalo, mountain sheep and
antelope.
While he is absent from his train,
Secretary Loeb is virtually head of the
United States government. He writes
all official communications to heads OF
different departments at Washington,
answers letters from bureau chiefs and
decides all questions that are ordinarily
passed up to the president

journ the seat of government to Gardi.
ner or the Yellowstone river, where the
trout are jumping.
Secretary Loeb received no word from
the president during the day.

The last legislature passed bill ap-
propriating $1,000 for the purchase OF
forty acres of land adjoining the school
for defective youth at Vancouver for
the use of the school. The board did
not secure the land, as twenty acres
had been secured by local nursery
finn. This will probably prevent the
contamination of the proposed pur-
chase. The price obtained was higher
than that offered by the state.

DANISH WEST INDIES.
Stated That CessiOn to United States
May Yet BE Made.

Stated That Cession to United States
May Yet BE Made.
Washington, April l4.-Advices re-
ceiveed here are to the effect that the
royal commission left St. Thomas few
days ago for Denmark in pessimistic
frame OF mind. After the treaty OF
cession had been laid aside the Danish
government, to placate the residents of
the Danish West Indies and the people
at home who favored cession to the
United States, sent this commission to
the ialands to devise means for the i'm
provement of the condition of the i'll
anders by the readjustment of salaries,
the establishment of direct lines of
steamships and changes in customs du-
ties, which it was hoped might recon.
cile the islanders to their retention by
Denmark.
1t now appears that the commission
was very much discouraged by what it
saw and heard, so it is entirely posi-
BILE that there will be strong revival
of the cession movement in Denmark
when they return. Technically the
treaty of cession ratified by the United
States senate is pending before the
Danish government, and if there is a
change in public feeling there it may
be ratified and the cession completed
providing the rigsdag is called in spe.
cial session before July, when the time
allowed for exchange OF notifications
expires.

which now partly surrounds it and
which is in dilapidaed state. 1t will
require about 1000 feet of fencing and
this will be built as soon as possible.
AS usual, the students will be given
an opportunity to do the work as much
as possible, being paid good wages tor
their labor. 1t is the intention to use

BAGDAD RAILWAY PLANS.
England, France and Germany to
Have Common Interest.


london, April 13.-The Standard
learns that an agreement has been con-
summated whereby Great Britain, Ger
many and France will participate
equally in the control of the proposed
Bagdad railroad, the revenues of which
will be guaranteed by the Turkish Gus
toms.
The main Bagdad railway is to run
from Konla to Karamanereyll, Mossul
Bagdad and Basra, with branches to
Alepbo, Urfa and the Gulf of Alexan-
dretta. The Germans obtained the
concessions for the line, and, accord
ing to dispatch from Constantinople,
February IL, the Turkish government
guarantees an income of $4,000 per XII
lometer, and an annual contribution of
5000 per kilometer, to be used in the
payment of working expenses of the
first portion of the line from Konia to
Bagdad. The convention between the
Turkish government and the Germans
was then awaiting the issue of an trade
to become effective. The Russian press
has been antagonistic to the Bagdad
railway on the ground that it would in
crease British and more particularly
German influence in those regions.

POSTAL FRAUDS
SEARCHING INQUIRY IS TO BE
PROSECUTED.
Postmaster General Payne Says Per-
sons Found Guilty will Re Dealt
With In q Summary Manner.
Special Agents and Legal De-
partment at Work.

Washington, Arpil 14.-Postmaster
General Payne has given out state
ment in which he announced that in
vestigation into the affairs of the post
office department would be continued,
and that any persons found guilty of
wrongdoing will be dealt with summar-
lily. The statement follows:
"During the months of January and
February information and reports
reached me which deemed it for the
public interest to investigate, and |
personally gathered such information
and facts as would enable the officers
of the department to undertake prop
er investigation into the truth or falls
ity of these reports. | directed Fourth
Assistant Postmaster General Bristow
to take the proper steps to institute the
necessary inquiry, using for that pur-
pose the postoffice inspectors division
and such other methods Us would thor
oughly ascertain the truth or falsity of
the charges or insinuations made, and
he was instructed to proceed promptly
and with vigor during my absence.
Since my return this morning l have
not seen Gen. Bristow, 80 that ] am
not advised of progress. The invsetiga-
ton will continue, and if any wrongdo-
ing is established, the parties guilty OF
such wrongdoing will be summarily
dealt with. If the system of doing
business in the department is faulty,
the proper remedies will be applied,
without fear or favor. l inaugurated
the inves igation with the determina-
ton that it should be exhaustive. 1t
is proper for me to add that laid be-
fore the president the information
which l had in my possession, and that
he fully approved of the action pro.
posed"
Inquiry will Be Thorough.
The whole administration of the
postoffice department is made subject
to the investigation under the postmas-
ter generals direction. and every divi-
sion will be probed thoroughly, and
the inquiry be made as thorough as the
departments most expert inspectors
can make it.
At the same time Mr.. Payne's pur-
pose is to give just and fair treatment
to all concerned, and not to act arbi-
trarily and with undue haste. For that
reason it may be stated that no inme-
date changes of importance in the per-
sonnet of the service are contemplated.
The office of the assistant attorney
general for the postoffice department is
among those included in the general
inquiry, and until the investigation of
| affairs generally is completed it is prob
able that no successor to Mr.. Tyner will
be named.
1t is learned that it will be several
weeks before the postoffice inspectors
will be able to complete their work
When they have finished Mr.. Bristow
will prepare comprehensive report on
the whole subject. 1t is probable that
some parts Of it will be withheld from
publication.
