Mr.. Newell Says 1t Is Largest Project

Mr.. Newell Says 1t Is Largest Project
in the World.
Washington, ID. C.-There was a
joint meeting of the senate and house
irrigation committees recently. The
arrangement was for the purpose of
giving Mr.. Newell, chief of the recla-
nation service, an opportunity to pre-
sent his views regarding irrigation
work and Investigations in various
states. In Washington an investiga-
ton is being made of the Big Bend
project, which, mr. Newell said, is the
largest irrigation project in the world.
According to his statement, 1t would
irrigate between 100000 and 2,000,0U0
acres o. land, and so far as the inves-
legations have gone the cost would be
staggering and could only be compared
with the Panama canal in magnitude.
But the land reclaimed would be well
worth the cost of reclamation. He
said it would be several years before
the department could fully determine
whether the project was feasible or
not.

Pekin Feels the Crisis.

Pekin, Dec. zz.-While no news has
been received at the Japanese lega-
ton tina. Japan las sent an ultimatum
to Russia. it is recognized at the lega-
ton thai grave crisis is approaching
Major General Yamani, the Japanese
military attache, and the Japanese col
onel who has been instructing General
Yuan Shat Kais troops, have both
started for Japan.
The native press recently reiterated
a circumstantial story to the effect
that in the event of Manchuria being
retained by Russia it was the inten-
ton of Great Britain to establish a
protectorate over the Yangtse valley
as compensation and to appoint a vice
roy therein, so that her prestige in
the far east would be equal to Russia's.
Some native papers give Wal Wal HUI

ity for the story. The fiction is largely
credited and gravely discussed and is
creating hostility against Great Brit
ain. 1t is suspected that the story has
been fostered by unfrlendly agencies
appointed for the purpose and the Brit

through St. Paul from the East, where
he has been on leave of absence. Capt.
Moss is characteristic American of

officers, made a famous ride from Fort
Missoula to st. Louis, a distance Of
about 1000 miles, on bicycle. He was
the first post adjutant at Manila,
when the garrison numbered over 5, 900
men, with a roster of officers number

to pay this sum, but are to recover

POSTAL STOPS
PAYMENT ON CHECK
| Detroit Maqnate Holds DeIehanty
From $1,000.

DETROIT, Mich Jan. 21.-President
Fred Postal, of the Washington club,
today sprung a surprise on Delehanty.
About a week before Delehanty signed
his contract with New York he asked
Mr.. Postal for $500 advance money.
The club president sent $500 imme-
diately and followed this with a check
for $1,000. Today, when the proceed
ings at the National league meeting
Indicated that the New York team
might hold the player. Postal made an
investigation and found out that while
his first check had been cashed, Dele
hanty had still the 81, 900 installment.
As he expects to have to pay a good
ly sum to the New York club before
being allowed the use of the fielder,
even if that club agrees to the result
of the peace conference, Postal canAe
to the conclusion that he might
as well save the $1,000 and stopped
payment on the check, informing Dele
hanty by wire of his action.

SPRINKLERS FORESEE
LOSS OF THEIR JOBS
Contractors May Enjoin the City From
Dampening Its Own Streets.

Local sprinkling contractors. who see
in the purchase of city sprinkling
plant the ruination of their business,
are making every effort to head off the
calamity, but it is hardly probable
that they will succeed.
The point raised is that the sum Of
$4,000 set aside is not large enough to
buy a plant, and they want the mat
ter deferred until another year, when
more money can be added. City En-
gineer Rundlett says the money will
buy as good a plant as is now owned
by any st. Paul contractor, and under
the direction of the council he is now
asking for bids on tanks and wagons.
The controversy is likely to result in
injunction proceedings to stop the city
from doing the work by day labor.
Such a course is threatened.
