Sub-sOil Cultivation.

The system of sub-soil cultivation for
arid lands, which was discovered by
Prof. III. W. Campbell, has received
quite an impetus by the endorsement
which has been given it by j. P. Pome-
roy, a wealthy mine owner and cattle
man of Colorado Springs. Mr. Pomeroy
is the owner Of a model ranch in western
Kansas and is specially interested in the
arid lands of eastern Colorado.
The plan is to interest the big railroad
systems which pass through the arid
lands of Kansas and Colorado in the
project of reclamation by means OF sub
soil culture and the conservation of
moisture in the soil, according to the
system laid down by Prof. Campbell.
Owing to the efforts of the board of
county commissioners of Ell Paso county
the system is already in operation in the
eastern portion of Ell Paso county and
with great success. The board consid-
cred the matter of such vital Importance
to the county that they paid the expenses
of having Prof Campbell deliver series
of lectures at the court house, believing
that the county would benefit from the
increased amount of land brought under
cultivation.
Mr.. Pomeroy has been successful in
interesting G. Il. Wantland, of the Union
Pacific railroad system, in the plan and
it is believed that arrangements can be
made for bringing several millions of
acres of desert railroad land under the
system. The efforts will be watched
with interest by all Coloradoans.

of the Inquiry.
France Appears to Have Acted
Part of Peacemaker.

London, Oct. 2S.-5:07 p. m.-The AS
sociated Press is authorized to state
that a satisfactory settlement of the
Anglo Russian dispute has been reach
ed. Several details and formalities re-
main to be arranged, but the proposal
to refer the matter to a court of in
quiry has been accepted.
The entire dispute was ended when
Ambassador Benckendorff saw Lord
Lansdowne after the cabinet meeting.
A final inquiry will be held at The
Hague under the rules of The Hague
convention. The appointment of the
arbitrators will be discussed tomorrow
between Ambassador Benckendorff and
Lord Lansdowne. The only detail which
remains to be arranged is the pernis-
sion of Spain for the portion of the
Russian squadron concerned in the
North sea incident to remain at Vigo
until the inquiry is completed. This no
doubt will be obtained The remainder
OF the Russian squadron is expected to
proceed to it's destination
1t is suggested that the articles of
the convention concluded at The Hague
furnish a good and satisfactory basis
for the contemplated procedure. Ar

with international commissions of in

neither honor nor vital interest arising

thus be enabled to tell his audience to-
night of the practical settlement of the
dispute which but for this solution
would have led to a clash between the
British channel squadron and the Rus
sian second Pacific squadron. which
must have plunged the two countries
into war.
How near was the rupture is evidenced
by the fact that Great Britain went to
the length of conveying a strong hint
to Russia that unless satisfaction was
given insuring an adequate inquiry and
the punishment of any one found gull

allowed to proceed beyond Tangier.

The Presidents Opinion of Tyner
Remains the Same

Washington, Oct. 2S.-By direction of
the president, Secretary Loeb today
sent to James n. Tyner. the former as
sistant attorney general for the post
office department. a letter in reply to
Mr.. Tyner's letter dated October s. The
letter says that the question of Mr..
Tyner's guilt on the criminal charge on
which he was tried has been passed
upon by a jury and the president
acquiesces in the jury's finding, but the
evidence seems to him overwhelming
that you (Mr. Tyner) were guilty either
of moral obhquity in performance of
duty or of the grossest inefficiency."
The letter follows:

%, 1904.
Sir:-The president has received this
morning your letter dated October 8,
written to my letter of June "A, which
1 have made public although you did
make public your own letter which it
answered. In your present letter you
again claim that a wrong has been
done you and ask that it be righted-
AS you are out of office the righting of
the wrong could only be effected by
your reinstatement to office a de-
claration by the president that you
We're innocent. The president instructs
me to say to you that his memorau
written when three indictments against
you had been returned by the grand
jury, the report of Mr.. Bristow having
been submitted to Messrs. Bonaparte
and Conrad and the action taken
against you by the department of JUS
tice being on the recommendation of
Messrs. Bonaparte and Conrad"
