FAV0RS REMOVAL
OF COL. GRIGSBY
Attorney General Makes Report
and President Gives Him
a Hearing.

Washington, March 10.-President
Roosevelt yesterday gave a hearing at
the White House to Colonel Melvin
Grigsby, United States district attor
ney for the second district of Alaska
at Nome, on charges of malfeasance in
office.
The charges have been investigated
by the department Of justice and the
attorney general has recommended to
the president the removal Of Colonel
Grigsby. In brief, the charges are
that Grigsby accepted $4,000 from
the Pioneer Mining company Of Nome,
ostensibly for legal services, but it is
alleged really as bride to secure the
company immunity from prosecution
by the government.
Colonel Grigsby was represented at
the hearing by former Senator John
M. Thurston and Judge Ballinger of
Washington state.
Colonel Grigsby is we'll known thru
out the northwest. In 1898 he organ
lied a regiment of rough riders in
Minnesota and the Dakotas, but the
organization did not get to the front.

-FOUR PERISH BY
FIRE IN B0XCAR
Five Barrels of Gasolene Burn
and Two Escape in Mad
Fight.

Harrisburg, Pa, March 10. - Four
unidentified men were burned to death
in a box car containing gasoline, which
caught fire to-day at Branch Inter
section, ten miles east Of this city.
Two others, George Klanger of Har-
risburg and William c. Lyter of Lew
iston, barely escaped with their lives,
their bodies and clothes being badly
burned.
The men were employed on the
Pennsylvania railroad improvements
at Enola and were sent to cambridge
to clear the ice from the tracks.
One of the cars in which twenty
six men were carried, contained five
barrels of gasolene and other lighting
materials to be used for night work.
Nearly all the men were asleep. One
struck match near the gasolene
barrels.
In an instant the interior of the car
was af1re. The men, awakened by
the intense heat, scrambled to get out
but four were trampled on by the
others. Their bodies were afterward
found burned to a crisp.

be more hardy than any now grown in
the East AS far North as .Philadel-
phia is small Japanese orange which
is only suitable for ornamental pur-
poses and which bears a fruit the size
Of a walnut. Here was the hardness
by using this plant as the mother and
the tender sweet orange Of Florida as
the father, and vice versa, hybr1ds
have. been produced which partake OF
the characteristics of both. These ny
brids are now beginning to fruit for
the first time They are Of course not
so hardy as the hardy mother, but are
much more hardy than the sweet
orange, the other parent

It is the hardy orange that withstands
all sorts of weather, the rugged man Is
likewise the one to Withstand the

WEIRD PACT BY
DIXON And MOTT
LATTER SAYS HE WILL RETURN
AFTER DEATH.
He Is a Wife Murderer and Is to Be
Hanged at NIissoula on the 1s-Two
Days Later He VIII Appear to His
Friend, Congressman Joe Dixon, at
Washington, ID. G. 4.

Special to The Journal.
Butte, Mont, March 10.-L. H.
Mott, a wife murderer, who is to be
hanged at Missoula, on March 18, has
sent a letter to Congressman Joseph
Dixon at Washington informing him
that he will visit him on Sunday,
March 20, at 10 o'clock in the even
ing. To-day Mott explained his let
ter by saying that he means to make
himself known to Congressman Dixon
in order to fulfill a promise to dem
onstrate the existence Of life after
death. Mott said:
Dixon and myself have been close
friends for years. l may state truth
fully that he has been my friendly ad-
wiser solely. Upon many occasions
for the last ten years we have dis
cussed religion and the probable fu-
ture state. Joe was an atheist and we
read Paine, Huxley and Ingersoll and
argued their relative merits.
Dixon and I pledged each other
that in case of death we would make
the living a call at 10 p. m. just two
days after death. Hence my promise
to him. feel that Dixon looks upon
me as a firm friend, having a loyalty
of friendship that death cannot
quench.'

From II. Journl., bureau, Colorado Building

From The Journal bureau, Colorado Building,
Washington. Sc ss e s9
washington, March 1o.-The entire
North Dakota congressional delegation
had a conference late yesterday with
IF. III. Newell, chief engineer Of the
reclamation service, regarding irriga-
ton work in their state. Every phase
of the question was discussed, but only
one project was presented that bears
a semblance Of feasibility, and that
involves an expenditure Of about $25
an acre for reclamation.
This project, for which detailed
plans are now being prepared, involves
the use of the Yellowstone river in
eastern Montana, extending into the
old Fort Buford reservation in North
Dakota. In all there are about 70
900 acres under the ditch,'' Of which
20, 900 acres are in North Dakota.
Engineers estimate that cost Of con-
81, 500, 900, and that of the entire TO-
600 acres, $4,000 can be made pro-
ductive.
Fifty-two per cent Of the land in
Guided In this project is in private
ownership. 1t is mostly railroad
grant land, and the only obstacle in
the way of the government going
ahead with the work is the possible
objection of owners to paying what
they might consider an exorbitant
price for the privilege of getting water.
If they accept the conditions proposed
by the government they will be
obliged to pay the government for inn
provements at the rate of $3.50 per
annum per acre for ten years.
Newell invites owners of land and
others interested to submit their views,
now that a definite idea has been
gained of the probable cost Of con-
struction works. It is stated that the
| land, when made productive, will yield
winter feed at small cost for the en-
| tire grazing country contiguous tc
| Canada.
General conditions in North Dakota
with reference to the construction OF
reclamation works along the Missouri
and other rivers, were discussed by
the delegation. Senator Hansbrougl
urged the erection of pumping sta.
tons at points where river sites were
found but Newell explained that thi:
is impracticable, as it would involve
raising water about 100 feet and make
the cost prohibitive.
/ The delegation requested that thu
investigation be continued and New
ell stated that a competent engineer
and possibly two or three, will be sen
into the state during the coming sum
mer to make a tloro examination o
all places where there might be !:
feasible project. He explained tina
the department is anxious to do every
thing in it's power in the way of re
clamation in North Dakota because o
it's large contribution to the irrigation
fund; but up to this time the For
Buford project is the only one tina
4 promises results.
