EXPERT OPINION FROM
ENGINEER SCHUYLER
Talks very Enthusiastically Over the Prospects
of the LewistOn.Waha Irrigation Project
Means Much to Lewiston

The people of Lewiston have been
eminent engineers who have been called
in consultation over the plans of the
lewiston Waha Land. Water and
Power company and eager to know
something of the results of their in
spection of the project.
The party returned last evening from
their trip to Craig mountains. 1t con-
sisted of ex-senator Henry Heitfeld,
ex-State Treasurer Geo. Storer Mr..
H. N. Savage, of Washington, D. c.,
consulting engineer of the United
State geological surveys reclamation
service and Mr.. James D. Schuyler,
consulting hydraulic engineer of Los
Angeles, Cal.
The latter gentleman has been spe-
cially employed by the company to re-
port upon the feasibility of the project
and came direct from Los Angeles for
that purpose, upon the recommenda-
ton of Mr.. Savage, whose official con-
nection with the United States govern
ment rendered it improper for him to
undertake work of a private nature
although his cordial personal relations
with Senator Dubois and Senator
Heitfeld are such as to incline him to
lend all possible assistance to the pro-
motors of the scheme within the scope
of propritety, while as a government
official he naturally takes a lively in
terest in all irrigation development in
the west.
A reporter of The Teller called upon
Mr.. Schuyler at the Raymond house
last night and was cordially received,
although he was somewhat reticent on
the subject of the company's plans

Mr.. Schuyler stated that he was eX-
ceedingly we'll impressed with the gem
eral situation, and felt that the enter
prise was evidently one worthy of pros
ecution to the fullest possible extent
although it would be necessary to make
further studies in greater detail to de-
termine the volume of water supply
available and the extent of the lands
which could be irrigated.
He was enthusiastic over the quail
ity of the soil, and it's favorable
slopes and topography, it's proxim-
ity to Lewiston and it's manifest pro-
ductiveness under irrigation, as DEM
onstrated by the remarkable object les
son across the river at Charleston, i'm
official he naturally takes a lively in
pressed him most favoraby.
Mr.. Schuyler regards the power pos
sibilities that may be developed un-
der the proposed canal as extremely
valuable, as well as the fact that it
may be made the future water supply
the city, furnishing gravity water un-
der such high pressure that fire insur-
ance rates should be reduced to min
imum.
A full report will be made to the
company accompanied by maps, dia-
grams, sketches and photographs. with
such recommendations and conclusions
as will form the basis for future ope-
rations
Mr. Savage will proceed from here to
Spokane and Mr.. Schuyler will return
to California
Further developments will be
watched with interest

for the Twin Falls project in Southern

.AMES' PLANS UPSET
Unexpected Request for Postpone
ment of Argument on Motion
for d New Trial.
Believed That Decision in Fred
Ames' Case Has Necessitate
Change Of Course.

Mayor A. A. Ames motion for q new trial
will not be argued before Judge Elliott until
early In August. Arrangements were made
the attorneys yesterday asked the court for
q continuance until about Aug. TO-, at which
time Judge Elliott will be in chambers. The
have the motion decided only in time to per-
feet an appeal to the supreme court for the
October term
That the supreme court decision in the
Fred Ames case has had an effect upon the
course to be taken by DR.. Ames attorneys
is believed to be the reason for this add;
tional delay. Attorneys Mead, Nye and
Deutsch are not saying anything on the sub
ject themselves. but the belief has gained a
footing. Two weeks ago they stated that
as the court was. The settled case was COM ao
pleted long ago and no reason for delay Is
discoverable now by the outsider. unless it
faith in the course they had mapped out
It is even rumored that as result Of the
decision against Brother Fred, !" the doctor's
forces have practically given up the fight and
will not appeal. This Is not given much
credence, however, and the general opinion
is that the fight will be carried to the last
ditch.
The central and all-important point In the
Fred Ames decision is the confirmation of the
lower courts admission as evidence OF facts
tending to prove the commission Of other
crimes which, however, went to show gem
eral scheme or plan Of graft Of which the
specific charge in the indictment was part.
his ruling uOeS not ulreCtly pear upon tuo
A. A. Ames case, but it does indirectly to
such an extent that the hopes for reversal
are very much weakened. In the former case
1t is simply q question of the admission OF
these facts as proof while in the latter it is
a question of their admission as part of the
Indictment 1t is argued that if evidence of
other offenses are admitted as proper proof
they must certainly be properly incorporated
in the indictment. In that event it seems
that the Omnibus Indictment under which
DR.. An,es was tried and convicted, and the
validity of which is the mann point of the
defense's attack, will be sustained.

SOME TROUBLE AT 'TONKA
Deputy sheriffs Go to Phelps Island
With Writs and Re
volvers.

Rumors Of a war on Phelps island, near
Spring Park, in upper Lake Minnetonka,
have been received at the sheriff's office.
Armed reinforcements were rushed to the
scene of conflict this morning. No bull
letins have been posted since the arrival
Of the new detachment.
About 400 acres of this island originally
belonged to Darlington Phelps. Mort
cages held by the Western Realty COM
pany were foreclosed some time ago. Since
then the original owner has brought the
matter up in court several times and has
resisted the loss of the island in every
possible way. He lost, however, in the
supreme court. The owners by foreclo
sure finally reached the point for action,
and yesterday Deputy Sheriff John Wall,
accompanied by one assistant and armed
with writs Of execution Of judgment,
started for Lake Minnetonka with the in
tention Of placing representatives of the
Western Realty company in possession of
that part Of the property involved.
Last night and this morning kilograms
were sent to the office by the advance
guard, first asking for additional copies
Of the executions and next for assistance.
Early this morning Chief Deputy Arthur
L. Jones and Deputy Al Woodcock, armed
with a small sized arsenal, started to the
rescue. -
What the deputies are up against is
a mystery in the office, as Deputy Wall
made no explanation of the situation
With the additional fighting force, how
ever, it is presumed that any resistance
will be overcome and the sheriff's army
will march to victory.

DEBT IS NOT REVIVED
The Supreme Court Decides an In
teresting Point Resulting From
Bankruptcy.

Two decisions were filed by the supreme
court yesterday. One is a Hennepin county
case in which the International Harvester
Company Of America fails to recover $3.50
from Frank ]. Lyman, of Excelsior, on a
thresher note. The Lymans went into bank
ruptcy and the thresher company failed to
put in Its claim. After the settlement they
tried to collect, and Lyman offered to pay
$50 month. They refused his offer and
brought suit. claiming that the obligation
was revived by Lyman's promise. The su-
preme court holds with the lower court that
the obligation could not be revived unless the
oHer was accepted by the creditor.
Tenant Must Move Goods Out.
The second case came up from Ramsey
county. The defendant had leased building
for the storage of furniture and fire break
ing out his stock was ruined He removed
part of it, but great deal was left to be
moved by the plaintiff when he took possess
sion, and he sued to recover the expense Of
removing this property. The court holds that
under the lease the tenant was bound to re-
move all of his property, and must pay the
expenses. Caroline H. Boardman was the
plaintiff and respondent, and Frederick
Howard, the defendant.
