NEW THING IN SYNDICATES.

Cheyenne, WyO., Oct. ga synol-
cate of New York and London capl-
talists has just launched daring and
stupendous scheme.
Under the law the people must, al
the election of 1904, vote for the per
manent location of the state capital
and other state institutions. The syn
dictate proposes to give the site, erect
and equip the capitol building, state
penitentiary, insane asylum and uni
yersity. without cost to the state, pro
vided the electors will choose a town
on the Sweetwater river in central
Wyoming.

This is swept away and they will re-
aliZe only a few dollars from their
savings of a lifetime There are
many cases of this kind.
What became of the money is a
mystery that will be hard to solve.
Those who had been closely associat-
ed with him are as much at sea as
outsiders. He had no expensive hab-
its, never married and lived with his
housekeeper in a modest cottage in
the village. After his death the house
keeper filed a deed for the home which
had been given her two years ago by
Gutzweiler, with the request that it
should not be filed until his death.
Citizens have been loath to believe
the reports regarding the estate, but
have at last been obliged to come to
a realization of the true condition of
affairs. Those in charge of the estate
will use every effort to save all pos
sible from the wreck, but the most
that can be realized will be from 10
to Is cents on the dollar.

WILL ISSUE A
STATEMENT
resident Roosevelt Will Review Re.
suits of the Postal Depart.
ment Investigation.

Washington. Oct. 26.-President
2oosevelt will soon issue a public
tatement on the postal frauds, and
eading members of the administration
believe that this statement will, Incl
lentally, forestall an investigation of
he postoffice cases by congress. The
PRESIDENT has already read the eX-
1austive report Of the postal investi
5ations written by Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General Bristow, and he
IS familiar with every detail of the
inquiry.
The preparation by Mr.. Roosevelt
of a general statement is only a ques-
ton of the time necessary for such an
undertaking when he is almost con-
tinuously engaged with other public
business, demanding attention before
the meeting of congress. While no
information in regard to the contents
Of the Bristow report has been given
it is known that the report contains
little about the postal frauds that has
not already been made public except
such evidence as Is necessarily with
held by the government pending the
prosecution of fraud cases in the
trial courts.
No Friction Between Them.
1t is stated On high authority that
the investigation by Holmes Conrad
and Charles ]. Bonaparte brought
nothing which could cause any differ
ence of opinion between the president
and Postmaster General Payne. An
effort has been made to have it appear
that certain recommendations made
by Messrs. Conrad and Bonaparte are
displeasing to Mr.. Payne, and that if
these recommendations should be re-
ceived favorably by the president, Mr.
Payne would be placed in an awkward
position. One Of these statements
was that the dismissal of Postmaster
Merritt of the Washington city post
office was recommended. The fact
is, there is no mention of Postmaster
Merritt in the report.
Another story was that Secretary
Shaw and the president are at outs
over the findings of Conrad and Bona
parte against Controller of the Treas
ury Tracewell who the investigators
charged had Improperly approved
certain postal accounts. By high au-
thority, this story was nailed as
lie The president accepts Mr.. Shaw's
view that Mr.. Tracewell is an efficient
and conscientious officer, and the
controller will not be disturbed. It is
not denied, however, that the Conrad
Bonaparte report severely censured
Controller Tracewell
President Roosevelt hopes to have
the last word in the postal scandal,
and he expects to say it before the
assembling Of congress at the regular
session.

CITY OF White BLUFFS.

The Democrat received exclusive
| information this week to the erect
that w. R. Todd, of Tacoma, and as
sociates contemplate making a mum
| Der of extensive improvements Ga
their large holdings in this county
situated along the west bank of the
Columbia river. The work, it is eX-
pected. will. start at once or as soon
as definite arrangements can be made
by the projectors of the enterprise
who live in Tacoma and Spokane.
The plan of the promoters is to
construct an irrigating canal from
Priest rapids to White Bluffs, a dis
lance of about twenty miles. The pro-
posed ditch it is said, will cover abort
5000 acres of as choice lands as can
be found anywhere in central Wash
ington. Owing to the fact that the
land is higher than the river, a gravi-
ty system is, of course, out of the
question, and the water will have to
be pumped from the river, a distance
of perhaps thirty feet. The new
company, however have plan where
by the great water power Of the Co.
lumbia will be utilized and the neces-
sary power thus be secured to ele-
vate the water to the canal.
Mr.. Todd. Of Tacoma who indiviu-
ually owns 5000 acres of land in the
vicinity Of White Bluffs, has resumed
operations in the sinking of the ar
tesian well started year ago by H.
B. Waring, a Seattle man, whose inte-
rest in that section Mr. Todd has pur-
chased. The latter feels confident
that he will succeed in securing a flow
Of water and means to keep going af-
ter it until he secures it. The well
when abandoned by Mr.. Waring was
down to a depth Of about 400 feet.
Mr. Todd and his associates have
concluded to lay out a town at White
Bluffs. The Marble Bros, civil engi-
neers of this city, have been employ
ed to lay out the new town as we'll as

nal The tOwnsite will be laid out in
blocks and lots and later placed upon
the market. Oscar James. formerly
of this city, but now Of Gle Elum,
will have entire charge of the town.
site.
Mr.. James is quite enthusiastic over
the scheme and says that White
Bluffs, which will be the name of
the new town, will become a city OF
Importance in due time. He asserts
that it will have 100000 acres of fine
agricultural land tributary to it when
ultimately brought under irrigation.
Inc promoters have agreed to place
a boat On the river early next spring
to ply between White Bluffs and Ken
neWlck which will furnish the new
town transportation until a better
system is devised.-Yakima Democrat.

COST OF VOTE WILL BE $500.
Only One Vote In a New York Pre-
cinct, but Expense Is the Same.

New York, Oct. 26.-There is one
election district in the city of New
York. which Tammany and the fusion
forces are making a hot fight to win.
There is only one voter in the dis
trict. To get his vote the city al
ready has spent 5000, and will have
to spend nearly 500 more, for it will
cost exactly as much to conduct the
registration and election in that dis
trict as in the most populous district.
It is the nineteenth election dis
trict Of the twentieth assembly dis
trict. Joseph Thomas is the solitary
voter. Last year there were nearly
400 voters. Since then an entire block
of sixty houses has been torn down
for st. Gabriel's public park, and ev-
cry one had to move away except
Thomas. who is foreman of the lum-
Der yard.

TAKES SAND TREATMENT.
A Scheme to Make Old Federal BuiIc
inq Look Like New

Minneapolis. Oct 26.-The sand
cure is going to be administered to
the remodeled federal building and
the old walls will look as bright as
do the new ones which have been
built this summer.
This will be the first time that a
sand stream has been leveled against
any building of Minneapolis for the
purpose of cleaning its walls, but the
process has been used in several cit
les of tahe east and has been uni
formly successful.
Several experiments have been
made by H. n. Leighton. senior mem
Der of the firm which has the contract
for remodeling the building, looking
to such a renewing of the youth Of
the old time-stained walls Of the
building as would make them har-
monte with the light gray of the new
stone which tops them. Without
such a change the building would be
the sorriest sort of a patchwork.
Oxalic acid was tried, but the
stone was so porous that the acid ate
into the stone without producing
much of an effect on the color. A ce-
ment wash was tried on the south
side of the tower, but this did not
prove satisfactory.
Eben E. Leighton, who recently
made a tour of the east, has seen the
sand blast in operation and IS salts
fed with the results obtained and H.
N. Leighton will go down to Chicago
some time this week to close the con-
tract for this part of the work.

STANDS UP FOR SCHOOLS.
Ex-Superntendent Barrett Replies
to the Criticisms Of
Cardinal Gibbons.

Des Moines, Iowa, Oct. 26.-Richard
public instruction. in a public address
before the members of the Northwest
ern Iowa Teachers association, made
bitter attack upon Cardinal Glib
bons and Catholicism, in replying to
the cardinals recent declaration that
the public school system is vicious.
1--WE have no desire to enter a con.
troversy," said Mr.. Barrett, ''but
American institutions so sacred as our
common school system must be de
Tended by patriotic Americans. We
invite honest criticism, but cannot
permit a sweeping accusation like this
to go unchallenged.
Thousands of those of the cardi-
nails own faith will not agree with
him. We can look to England for a
few statistics, where the system il
much the same as our own and we
find that the school population has
increased from 100000 to nearly
100000 and during that same period
from $4,000 to less than 5000. That
does not look as if the system was
vicious.
And to contrast the present sys-
TEN, with the system of our sister
church, we find that in one state in
this union where the figures have been
secured that there are more Catholics
in the penitentiaries who receive in
struction from Catholic sources than
there are Methodists. Congregational
lists, Presbyterians, United Brethren
and Episcopalfans all put together.
The government of the United States
is a Christian government and the
schools of our land are Christian and
not vicious"
