GOES ON.

The Hondo reservoir is not the on
ly project that the government is
pushing forward for the redemption
of the arid west. A board Of consult
ing engineers has just submitted a
report to Professor Newell of the geo.
logical survey in regard to the Sho-
shone irrigation project in Big Horn
county, Wyoming.
This project contemplates the on
struction of a masonry storage dam
across the Shoshone river, The dam
is to be about 200 feet high, and To-
Gated eight miles west of the town
of Cody. 1t will impound water from
300, 900 acres. The water will be con-

three and a half miles. to where the

ed, and continue about sixty miles
easterly on the left or north side of
the river.
The report states hat the lands
appear 10 be of good quality and well
adapted to irrigation. The surveys
were made since the report and rec
ommendation of the board of engin-
GERS, February 10, 1904. This report
was based on SO, 900 acres. The sub
sequent surveys, however, have dem
onstrated that $1,000 additional acres
of good land is available, and natur-
ally tributary to the project, making
a total of 10000 acres, practically
all of which is public domain.
The board of consulting engineers
estimates that the works necessary
to irrigate 10000 acres can be con
structed for $25 per acre.

The Amusement Question Again Up for Discussion, Hut Nothing of
 Importance is DOnc-RepOrt
 Epw0rth League Submitted.

Los Angeles, Calif, May 16.-Con- l trary to expectations. the result of the secret ballot taken last Saturday by the Methodist General Conference on the subject of the retirements of Bishops Andrews. Mallalieu, Vincent. Walden and Foss, was not made public at to- days session of the conference.
 Instead, the result was ordered to be announced by publication in tomorrow mornings issue of The Christian Ad- ference. There Is no doubt. however, according to the most reliable author ity, that all of the seven bishops have been retired by the vote of an over whelming majority of the delegates.
 In reference to the report that the Methodist ministers of Philadelphia had protested against the retirement of Bishop Foss, an authority high in the councils of the present conference stated that such protest could not be considered, as the rules of the confer ence did not permit of a reconsidera- tion of the vote on the matter. Bish- op Floss would not discuss the matter.
 There Is no doubt he stated. about my retirement. The vote of 500 in favor of my being placed on the superannuated list"
 In connection with the retirement of the five bishops, the conference this by Dr, c. H. Forbes, of Minneapolis providing for six months full pay for the bishops from the time of their re- tirement. The regular annual salary or an active bishop in the Methodist Church is S5,000 and each retired hish- op receives S2,500 a year during his lifetime.
 The amusement question also came up Tor further discussion at this morn lngs session. Dr. Elliott, of Detroit, presented resolution setting forth that there. was no doubt in the minds or many of the delegates as to the con stltutionality of paragraph 25S of the
 Discipline and asking that the matter tso pc reIerred @ to the Judiciary Commit tee Tor report on the subject Af- ter much debate in which the charge or unconstitutionality against the amusement clause was characterized & oy pr J.
