ATCHIsoN's COAL NINE.
Are Eighty Feet Away From the Vein
and Out About $4,000.

Atchison, June 9.-There is a misun-
Outstanding about the sum lately put
in at the coal shaft, and superintendent
Pullen has rendered his resignation to
the president of the coal company. 1t
will be acted on at the meeting of the
directors tonight The principal cause
of dissatisfaction is that Mr.. Pulen
estimated that he could reach the three
foot vein with 500, 900. This amount
was raised, after great difficulty. but
the money is now exhausted. and he
estimates that the three foot vein is
eighty feet away; that he encountered
greater difficulties than he expected.
He says water increased on him, but
he reported that it was decreasing to
down excitement; he thought he would
be able to get through it, and he did,
but at great expense
This is the most serious trouble: the
money has been exhausted, and the
work still lacks completion: Mr.. Pullen
says $4,000 additional will be required
to reach the three foot vein.

The sultan's troops at Tangieir have
received orders to proceed to Fee. Thus
another of Raisuli's conditions has been
granted. The SULTAN apparently is
granting the bandit chiefs demands
in piecemeal, so as to not unduly ex

Nearly ali delegates who made
speeches during the two days con-
ventiOn discussed illegal" shipping of
coal by operators and wholesale job
bers to laundries, creameries, thrash
ing crews and other persons who are
supposed to be customers of the retail
dealers. About the worst Ofense a
man could commit in the eyes of the
retail coal dealers, is to buy a car of
coal at the mines. 1t is even worse,
though. for the mine owner to sell it
to a man. This point will appeal
strongly to many persons who have
of coal in the summer and stored it
against the days when prices are high
and strikes are on.
One delegate told of a farmer in a
little Kansas town who bought a car
or two of coal each year and divided
it among his relatives and himself. On
several occasions he even helped his
church. This sort of conduct brought
upon the generous farmer the enmity
of all the coal dealers in the district
and they got together so efficiently
that the old man couldn't buy coal at
any price, at the mines, or from
Wholesalers. and after a whole lot of
trouble was glad to patronize the
dealers in hi sOwn town

sent the evidence to the legislatures IN

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


TIL. Topeka (Flan) Journal, referring
editorially TO the operations Of the new
National Irrigation laws, says:
The 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 ex>
ceeds 10000 acres. The dam across
the valley will form a reservoir 35 miles
in length.
1.-THE Milk river irrigation scheme in
Montana invoices the expenditure of So
100000, and 100000 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 a ca
pacity for irrigating 1875, 900 acres. Sec
rotary Hitchcock has approved the plans
and specifications for the dam across
Payette river in Idaho, forming reser-
voir with an irrigating capacity of 1OO,-
600 acres. The north side canal along
Payette river, will have an irrisating ca
pacity of 100000 acres, and the cost OF
the entire work is estimated at $4,000
600.
"In addition to the work now in pro-
gress in Idaho, Arizona, Colorado and
Montana Secretary Hitchcock has or
dered a 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 tho 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 1,225,0 900 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"

only so, but the surplus to be disposed of
can be utilized in the East, and many
eastern manufactured products, which
will not be produced in the West, will

Party Of Construction Responsible.
The Republican party ''ouilded better
than it knew when it perceived that the
work of reclaiming arid America should
be undertaken by the federal govern
ment. President Roosevelt has done
more to contribute TO the future we'll

by his advocacy OF the National Irriga-
ton Act and by having made it law
by his signature. than any other Presi-
dent we have ever had-with the posi-

Will the people of the arid region vote
for President Roosevelt? There is but
one voice from that district to-day, and
that is for ROOSEVELT AND FAIR

Judge Parker has never been west, has
never spoken kindly sentiment of the

not know nor care whether the West
