WATER RESOURCES.
Prof Landes to Thoroughly Investi-
gate State Supply.

Seattle, June 30.-The water resour-
ces of the state of Washington are to
be carefully studied and investigated
under the direction of Prof. Henry Lam
des, state geologist. The work is part
of a study of the water resources of the
United States. 1t is carried on as a
branch of the United States geological
survey, and the expense is borne by the
federal government. The task consists
in the location and investigation of the
springs, underground currents, artesian
wells and city water supplies of the en-
tire country. The results of these in
vestigations will be published in con-
densed form for the information of the
public. The department has only been
created within the past year and the
work has been divided into two divi-
sions, the territory east and west of the
Mississippi river. In those states which
support state geological surveys the
state geologist has been placed in
charge of the work for that state.
The work in Washington opened the
middle of last month, and has thus far
been confined to an investigation of the
town and city water supplies. AS it is
impossible, on account of the expense,
to visit all places the attempt has been
made to complete and extend the infor-
nation by correspondence. Letters
have been written to the mayors of ev-
cry city and town in the state regarding
the source of their water supplies and
nearly all the data have been received
Washington has ample water re-
sources, both above and under ground,
to meet all future Demands" said Prof
Landes regarding the investigation thus
far. 81 leave next week for North
Yakima, where | will make complete
study of the large number of artesian
wells in that locality. From there |
will make visits to various places in
the arid portion of the Eastern section
of the state.
"This survey means far more to the
people of Eastern Washington and the
arid states of the West than would at
first appear. 1t will be OF inestimable
service to them in determining where
to settle, and help them in their strug-
gle TO reclaim much of what is now des-
ert land

ACTION is JUSTIFIED.
Precedents Found for Forwarding
Jewish Petition.

Washington, June 29.-Officials Of
the state department assert that a
close examination of peecedents justified
the Presentation by the president of the
United States of the Jewish petition to
the Russian government, and that no
government has right to object to the
presentation of such petition, nor has
the government presenting it right to
object if the Presentation is declined.
This means that the United States
will not find ground to quarrel with
Russia if the czar refuses to receive the
petition now being prepared by the
council of R'nai Birth.
There are no late developments re-
speeding the petition, save the an
nouncement that it is the purpose of
the fiamers to have it numerously
signed by prominent citizens, Chris
tians we'll as Jews.

Full Ticket Nominated, Headed by
j. b. Sullivan, of CrestOn--Al
clamatiOn - Sullivan Acceptable
to Gold Democrats.

Des MoiDes, Ia, June 25.-Follow-
ing is the ticket nominated by the state
Democratic convention here:

Iowa county.
Judge of Supreme Court, John R..

The convention, by vote of 463 to
354, refused to adopt minority report
signed by four members of the commit
tee on resolutions, adding to the plat
form reported by the seven members
constituting the majority of the COM
mittee plank reaffirming the Demo-
cratic national platform of 1900, and
by a vote of 62S to 1919 rejected another
minority report adding to the plank de-
handing government control of railroad
charges, a provision that in case such
control should not prove effective the
national government should acquire
ownership of railroads.
All the nominations were made by
acclamation, the friends of Judge A. A.
Van Wagenen, of Sioux City, having
concluded not to present his name for
governor after it became evident that
the convention would not adopt gov
eminent ownership plank, which he
has favored. j. B. Sullivan, the NOM
inee for governor, has been affiliated
with the Bryan wing of the party, but
he was acceptable to the gold Demo-
crats.
The committee on resolutions SUBJ
mltted majority and minority report

protests against the Aldrich bill for
loaning monley of the government, de-
plores the corruption in the postoffice
department, refers to the alarming
growth of the trust evil, favors revision
of the tariff and opposes government by

Steps for Entertainment Taken by
Seattle Chamber OF Commerce.
Seattle, June pa large number of
members of the Chamber of Commerce
noon to meet G. j. Garvin, of Ration,
N. M the chairman of the executive
committee of the Transmississippi Com
mercial congress, which will hold four
days session in Seattle, beginning Aug
ust IS, to consider plans for the enter
tainment of The delegates who are ex-
pected from all over the country.
Mr.. Garvin explained with great en-
thusiasm the purposes of the congress
and the benefits that the various sec
tions of the country most interested
have found that its sessions are to
them. He said that his mission on the
present trip was to assure himself OF
the genuine desire of the business men
of Seattle to have the congress meet
here, and then to stir up additional in
terest in and enthusiasm for the COM
ing session in Portland, San Francisco,
Sacramento, Ogden, Salt Lake, Denye-
and Pueblo.
He spoke of the great interests of the
Pacific coast that might be promoted by
the deliberations and the actions of the
congress in relation to questions of COM
merca and transportation and the equal
ly important issue to the more eastern
states of irrigation, which would be a
leading topic of consideration.
1t was shown that above ST. 900 was
needed TO defray immediate expenses OF
publicity and organization, and that
about "a 900 in addition would have to
be raised to properly provide for the re-
ception and entertainment of delegates.
The chamber agreed to provide for
the raising of at least half this sum,
and to use it's endpavors to have the
city and county provide the remaining
$4,000. On motion of Jacob Furth, the
chair appointed a committee of five, to
he known as the executive committee,
and directed the secretary to request
the city counil to appoint five members
| to act with the committee. A commit
tee of three, consisting of G. M. Stew
art, T. NJ. Halter and l.. M. Wood,
was also appointed to secure the 81 900
which was needed at the outset, Mr..
Latimer and Mr.. Halter simpl flying
matters by each contributing 500.
Mr.. Garvin, in expressing his appre-
citation of the action of the chamber,
stated that he was confident that he
should be able to secure not only un-
usually large delegations to the con-
gress from the Coast and Middle West
ern states, but also the presence OF
many representative and influential
men from the East.
