WORK OF DEVELOPMENT.
Big Enterprises Under Way for
Stevens County.

StttChS OOubty'
Colville, Wash, May 1S.-Tthe
Northwestern Irrigation, Power and
Development company has just COM
pleted all arrangements for the launch
ing of development enterprise OF
great importance to the people OF Stew
ems county, and will enter upon the
work at once. W. G. Stayt, formerly
of Spokane, but now of Seattle, who is
secretary of the company, has been
here for the past two weeks closing up
contracts for lands and securing the
necessary franchises in the interest OF
his company.
All plans are now complete and the
work will begin this week. The pro-
ject contemplates the expenditure OF
nearly million dollars within the
present year, and includes the immedi-
ate construction of an electric railway
from Meyers Falls, on the s. F. & N.
railroad, through Kettle Falls and con-
tinuing five miles down the Columbia
river valley to the Hickey rapids. which
describes the limit of navigation for
steamers coming up the river. A COM
modious steamer will also be built and
launched at the rapids to connect the
electric line with all points on the CO.
lumbia river as far down as is possible
by the open river.
Another part of the work of this
company will be to construct an irriga-
ton canal from point one and half
miles above the town of Kettle Falls,
which will convey the waters of tho
Colville river into nighttime ditch
along the foothills of the Columbia
river valley for a distance of about
twenty-five miles. This ditch will
have dimensions of sixteen feet across
the top, ten feet across the bottom, and
will be about six feet in depth, and is
intended to furnish water to irrigate
the bench lands along the immediate
shores of the river. About 25, 900 acres
of these lands will be brought under the
ditch. OF these lands tho company
owns 5000 acres.
The canal will cost, roughly esti-
mated, about $4,000 per mile, and it is
expected to have it completed about the
first of September. Beside! the bene-
fits to be derived from irrigation, the
waters of this big ditch will contribute
greatly to the placer mining of the rich
bars of the Columbia at Daisy, which
have been held and worked in crude
way for years by Cinnamon, who have
gathered water in reservoirs in the hills
and used the same sparingly during the
nsmmer season when water was scarce.

return from Guam Mabini has lived in

Americans generally regret the death
of Msbini, but there will be no demon

nature of his disease.

FEAR A RETALIATION.
German Exporters Frightened Over
Effect of Exclusion.


Berlin, May 18.-The publication
throughout Germany of the statement
that the agricultural appropriation bill
passed at the last session of congress
contained clause authorizing the ex-
clusion of adulterated food and drinks
has frightened German exporters, espe-
cially of beers, sausages and wines, who
believe that the United States at least
intends to retaliate for the meat and
other food determinations of Germany
1t is we'll understood by the trade
that the export of what are known as
"delicatessen wares" would be nearly
destroyed were personalities and adul-
terations' prohibited.
The tenor of remarks of DR.. Schlamp,
the wine grower of Nierstein, revealed
the extent of the adulteration of home
consumed wines, but the adulteration
of wines for export is openly conducted.
One concern at Hamburg exports i'm
mense quantities of what are labeled as
Bordeaux wines, which it makes with
potato alcohol as q base. Some of these
wines are sent tn the United States, but
the larger portion 60 to South Africa
and South America.
The feeling officially is that the Ger
mans ought to feel no surprise if the
United States does retaliate, and that
the tariff exclusion controversy can on
lv be settled by new commercial
treaty.

SMALLER NAV|ES.
EngIishmen Discuss the Matter in
the House of Com.
mons.

London, May 16.-The question of
the reduction of naval ornaments came
up again in the house of commons dur
ing discussion of the estimates. The
speakers suggested that the government
take the first step in proposing reduc-
ton to other powers.
Sir Charles Dixie, advanced Radical,
said he thought this might be possible,
in view of the improved relations be-
tween Great Britain and France. for
those two nations might talk this mat
ter over and subsequently approach
Russia. Even if Germany did not
agree to reduction, the three great
powers might effect something. 1t was
not necessary for Great Britain to build
against the United States. 1t would
be as great mistake to count on the
United States as an enemy as to count
on her as an active ally, for the limited
States has always been the great de-
fender Of the rights of neutrals. Mr..
Arnold-Forster, the admiralty secre-
tary, pointed out that it was the duty
of the admiralty to deal with facts as
they were and not as they might be,
said that all the great powers were IN
ereasing their maritime preparations,
mainly Russia. According to the avail
able figures, France and Russia togeth-
err were now building three more bat
tleships than Great Britain. The &C.
tual force in ships which could be ar
rayed against Great Britain ought to be
the guiding principle. he denied that
the admiralty's proposals were in ex-
cess of the requirements of the country.
The secretary added that he would not
on that occasion express any view with
regard to the position as affected by
the United States. THAT was grave
consideration which in future would
have to be considered"

Missouri Legislator Talks of Brib-
ing Members.


st. Louis, May 16.-Fsrmer state
senator Charles Schwickhardt, of ST..
Louis, was before the grand jury two
hours during the day. His testimony
is said to have revealed that he not
only divided 81 900 between four sena-
tors during the session of 1889, but
that he carried $1,000 to Jefferson City
to defeat a certain measure, the nature
OF which is not known publicly. He
gave Senator Farris 81 500 of the
$4,000. with the understanding that
the money should be returned if the
measure was not defeated. The meas
ure, whatever it was, was not defeated,
and the 81 800 was returned.
Several indictments, it is reported,
have already been voted by the grand
jury and others are expected.

The question Of plants, bulbs
and flowers will soon be the topic
of every household. A few more
warm days of spring will give the
house wife the garden itch and she
will never rid herself of it utnll
she gets it planted. Already the
mails are being loaded with the
seed cataloges of the country show
ing their pretty pictures OF large
and choice vegetables and flowers.
If you take our advice, let them
alone this year for they have all
raised the price of seeds, and send
your order to an institution In
your own state, where you can Sc,
cure the choicest of plants and
flowers in the country at the Ola
prices. This place is the A. q M.
College at Starkville, Miss. For
three years We attended this lnstl-
tuition and know it only plants the
best, and since leaving it we have
ordered plants and flowers from it
for years and each time they
proved the best. Give them a
trial order this year and you will
then be its future customer. Adj
dress all orders to A. B. Mckay,

national famed organization of the
B. POE Lodge, No. l48, of this
city, whose unique appearance has
carried away first and second hon
ors in the annual conventions will,
at the next meeting in Baltimore
compete again for the honors, but
on larger and grander scale. AL
ready the heart of every member is
swelling at the very thought OF
victory.
This organization has been with
out a banner and we want to sug-
gest to the young ladies of the
city that they present the lodge a
suitable banner before it leaves for
Baltimore next June. 1t is true
that the lodge could buy banner,
but such a banner does not carry
in it's folds the inspiration that
one would if it came from the
daughters of the city. For, such
a banner there is a feeling of love
and pride among those who follow
it that is bound to carry it to vic
tory, which is their ambition.
Who will start the work?
