that Russian financial agents had

London, April 25.--Neville Priestly
under secretary for the governmental
Indian railways department, who was
sent to the United States last summer
to study and report on American rail.
ways, has submitted his report. 1t ia
an exhaustive review of the subject
and in conclusion pays high tribute
to American railway enterprise and
management.
The railways of America" says
Mr.. Priestly, fare commercial under
takings on gigantic scale and are CD
Grated under conditions which are to
be found nowhere else in the world,
since they receive no protection from
the state and had to fight their way to
the front 10y sheer ability of manage
ment. If l have appeared enthusiastic
at times it is because was greatly i'm
pressed with the pluck that the rail-
way officials have shown.
1T is impossible to associate with
the great men that have made their
mark on American railways-I may
say American national history
out being infected with some of the
enthusiasm they show for their bust.
ness, and no man can travel over their
railways without being possessed of a
great deal more knowledge than he
previously had or without getting
many valuable hints.
American railway men are quick
to see new idea and they are quicker
still to try it,"

TALKED IRRIGATION.
State Commission Holds Sessions at
Tacoma.

State Commission Holds Sessions at
Tacoma.
Tacoma, April 27.-The state irriga-
ton commission held two important
sessions here during the day. The spe-
cial objects of the meeting were TO
give hearing to Elwood Mead, chief
of irrigation investigation, United
States department of agriculture, and
to hear an important paper by 0. l..
Waller. professor of mathematics of
the Washington agricultural college,
who has charge of the government irri-
CATION work in this state.
A long afternoon session was almost
entirely occupied in considering ways
and means to be followed by the com.
mission for the framing by the state of
a code of irrigation laws which will
facilitate the greatest possible develop
ment. One of the important and par
ticular matters in connection with the
modification If the state laws is that
there shall be harmony with the rules
and regulations of the government con-
trolling irrigation matters in general.
Mr.. Mead is one of the greatest liv-
ing authorities upon irrigation, and
much of the afternoon session was ia
ken up by him. A considerable por-
ton of the session was devoted to the
irrigation laws of Wyoming, which are
similar to the irrigation laws of the
Northwest territories of Canada. The
discussion showed that these laws have
received more attention in their con-
struction than any other set of irriga-
ton statutes in the country, and are
working with great satisfaction in the
districts named.
All the members of the commission
are anxious to press the irrigation of
the arid lands of the state we'll to the
fore at the earliest possible moment
There is nearly SO zoo, 900 to the credit
of the irrigation work in this state ly-
ing idle in the treasury at Washington,
which has accumulated through the
sale of public domian of Washington,
and all of which, in accordance with
the act passed about two years ago,
is diverted from the general fund Of
the government to the special work of
irrigation.

The lease is said to include the termi-
nal facilities at st. Michael, where
the land is divided practically be-
tween the government, the North
American Transportation and Trading

trade altogether, not only on the Yu-
kon, but between, Seattle, st. Michael
and Nome. The company will contin.
ne to maintain its trading stations on
the Yukon.
