castle, in Cumberland, has been re-
visited by the family ghost. The
apparition is that of radiant boy"
which has long been hushed into 81
lence.
A recent visitor, however, claims
to have been attended by the spec
ter. There is some glory in the WISH
tation, 50 the stranger who was per-
mitted to behold the vision was not
long in relating his experience. Now
he is wondering if the prophecy in
volved in seeing the ghost will work
out in his case.
The legend runs that whoever be-
holds the radiant boy" will rise to
the height of power and fall in the
climax of his glory.
The vision was last vouch sa fed to
Captain Stewart, who afterwards be-
came Lord Castlereagh and proved
in his career the supernatural pro-
phecy of the apparition.
When a young man on hunting
trip in Ireland Captain Stewart lost
his way and found himself at night
fall in the neighborhood of Corby
castle. His request for hospitality
for the night was cheerfully bestow-
ed by the host. although the castle
was then full of guests.
At midnight he was awakened by a
weird flash of light and the figure of
a beautiful boy appeared before him,
gazed at him seriously for few mo-
ments. then disappeared in silence
into the darkness.
Seriously angered at what he re-
garded as practical joke he showed
his displeasure to his host. He was
then told that he had been allotted
the haunted room and had seen the
family specter, which promised him
so tragic a career.
The prophecy was so fulfilled that
the truth of the tradition has never
since been doubted. Captain Stewart,
when Lord Castlereagh. became the
head of the government, and, in the
summit of his power, died by his own
hand.

TILLESH HAD A
NARROW ESCAPE

The Spokane river is at standstill.
A telephone message from the engi-
neer at the water works this morning
was to the effect that the river had
not risen during the night. The city
commissioners reported all city
bridges in a safe condition with no
immediate danger of any of them go
ing out. Two inspectors have been
appointed to keep the debris from the
piling under the bridges. Driftwood
is coming down the river in smaller
men have experienced no difficulty in
keeping the debris from doing DAM
age.
The city hall has had no heat dur
ing the past two days on account Of
the high water The lower part of tho
engine room is flooded and il has been
impossible for the engineer to start
the fires. The city hall will be with
out heat until the water goes down.
Street Foreman Tillesh, at work on
the Mission street bridge, had a mar
row escape from drowning yesterday
forenoon. a great mass of rubbish,
including a large tree with all its
roots and branches attached had
lodged against the bridge and Mr..
Tillish was lowered on rope to cut
II in two. He accomplished his pur-
pose, with the result that when the
tree was cut he was thrown into the
rushing river. Several men grabbed
the rope TO which Mr.. Tillesh was at
tached and after considerable diff
Guilty he was pulled from the river.
In his anxiety to protect the city's
property Mr.. Tillesh has eaten two
meals in the past As hours and has

DEcARIE CHANGES
Mind :

Manager Decarie of the Decarie
crematory notified the board of COM
missioners last night that he would
burn all the manure night soil and
garbage free Of charge which was
brought to the cremakory This is a
reversal of former ldeclsion OF Mr..
Decarie's not to burn manure without
charge.
Mr.. Decarie will now burn anything
brought to the crematory with the
exception of ashes, tin cans and iron.
The crematory is now running to
the entire satisfaction of the board OF
commissioners.
The cheapness of running the
plant is shown by the fact that on
Saturday in burning seven tons OF
matter only 16 cordwood sticks were
consumed and not an ounce of coal.

WHAT Is BEING DONE.
How Work Under the National Irri-
cation Act Is ProgrsssiaR.

Th. Topeka QKan.) Journal. referring
editorally 10 the operations of the new
National Irrigation laws, says:
'.rhe latest statistics OF irrigation
work being done show the employment of
700 men on the Salt river reservoir in
Arizona, with 1000 to be employed when
the blasting now in process has been
completed. To the Snake river valley in
Idaho the sum of $1,000, 900 has been al
lotted and the area to be irrigated eS
ceeds 10000 acres. The dam across
the valley will form a reservoir 80 miles
in length.
1.-The Milk river irrigation scheme in
Montana invoices the expenditure of So
100000, and 25O,OOO acres will be irri-
gated. Work is to be resumed and push
ed on the Gunnison tunnel in the I'm
compahgre valley, Colorado, with ca
pacity for irrigating 135,OOO acres. Sec
retary Hitchcock has approved the plans
and specifications for the dam across
Payette river in Idaho, forming a reser-
voir with an irrigating capacity of 1OO,-
600 acres. The north side canal. along
Payette river, will have an irrigating ca
pacity of 10000 acres, and the cost of
the entire work is estimated at $1,000
600.
''In addition to the work now in pro-
gress in Idaho, Arizona, Colorado and
Montana SSecretary Hitchcock has or
dered survey of the Sun river valley
in Montana. The scheme involves the
reclamation of the enormous body of land
lying between the Teton and Sun rivers,
while contracts have been let for the con-
struction of the dam for the irrigation
of the lands in the Pecos Valley, New
Mexico.
1.-The work under way, or under con-
tract, involves the reclamation of not
less than 1,225,OOO acres of land now
arid and not susceptible of cultivation,
but to be made so, and to be thrown open
to settlers at the usual rates within the
next three years. Neither the lands in
the Pecos valley nor between the Sun
and the Teton rivers are included in this
estimate"
