PoNrERoYs SCHEME.
Would Reclaim Fifty Million Acres of
Arid Lands.

Colorado Springs. Col, Nov. 81. H.
Pomeroy, the millionaire mine owner of
this city, is interested in a project to
organize a big company that will have
for it's object the reclamation of so
million acres in the semiarid district of
the west. The railroads that traverse
Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, New
Mexico and Texas, it is understood, will
be interested in the project. Already c.
E. Wantland, general sales agent for
the Union Pacific, is interested in the
movement and held a long conference
with Mr.. Pomeroy in Colorado Springs.
The idea is the outgrowth of the
Pomeroy model farm at Hill City, Kan.
The Campbell system of soil culture in
vogue there will be introduced in other
sections of the west by the promoters
of the company, the effort being to
bring under cultivation all the lands of
the semiarid district.
The success of the Hill City farm has
led to an investigation on the part of
result that this method of retaining
arid districts will be generally adopted
by them. The model farm produced an
average of thirty bushels of wheat to
the acre the past season and has at
tracted the attention of agriculturists
all over the country.
Mr.. Poneroy for many years lived in
Atchison. Kan. He was one of the di-
rectorS of the old Central Pacific rail-
road and has always been a heavy op-
orator in coal and lands in Kansas. He
is rated the largest land holder of the
Sunfiower state. paying taxes on more
than 80 900 acres in western Kansas
movement are leading capitalists of
Chicago and Kansas City. but until the
organization of the company is per-
fected the plans are being kept secret.

MAY BETWO GOVERNORS
Colorado Political DIixup Is Taking a
Serious Form.

Denver, Colo, Nov. 29.-''If the
Republicans try to seat Peabody with
Adams honestly elected by 1000
plurality there will be two governors
in Colorado" declared ]. S. Appel, one
of Denver's leading merchants. "Busi-
ness and professional interests will
never submit to such a outrage" Mr..
Appel continued. Governor Adams
will be sworn in as governor, and
there will be two legislatures.
Mr.. Appel voiced a sentiment that is
growing in Denver. The proposition,
discussed half jestingly for several
days, has become serious. Many be-
lieve the Democrats will play it as
their last card. The Democrats today
held a conference at the Democratic
club. The proposition to swear in
Adams in case Peabody refused to let
go his office was discussed, but it did
not meet with the approval of the
Wisest heads.

PoLLOCK's RULING STANDS.
Oklahoma Court That Interfered With
Receiver Gives Up.

A peculiar controversy between the
federal court of Oklahoma and the
federal court of Kansas was decided
on Monday afternoon by Judge Pol
lock of the United States court The
case was one in bankruptcy brought
against the Wichita Bridge & Iron
company, with headquarters in Wich-
ita, and the Southwestern Bridge &
Iron company, with headquarters in
Enid, Okla
The companies merged last year. A
case in bankruptcy was filed against
the Kansas company last October and
involuntary bankruptcy was filed
against the Oklahom company. Judge
Pollock appointed one receiver for
both companies. Immediately after
the Kansas court had taken possession
of the property the Oklahoma court
appointed a receiver for the property
in the territory. Judge Pollock then
ordered the receiver from the terri
tory to appear here and show why he
should not be punished for contempt.
The latter appeared and disclaimed
any intention of interfering with the
actions of the Kansas court and said
he would follow Judge Pollock's rul-
fngs unless set aside through proper
appellate proceedings. Judge Pollock
then ruled that all the property in the
territory should be surrendered to his
receiver.
they established their headquarters in
Wichita, bringing them into the terri
tory of the Kansas court Then, also
the appointment of the Oklahoma re-
ceiver followed the petition in bank
Euptcy filed here.

Michael Davitt Comments on Report
of Starvation in Ireland.

New York, Nov. 29.-Michael Dav-
lit, the Irish leader, who has been in
America on private business since No
vember 5, will sail for his home to-
day.
Regarding reports that the peas
antry in Mayo and Galway counties
is on the brink of starvation through
failure of the potato crop, he said the
matter appeared to be exaggerated.
There was wet summer and fears
were felt for a partial crop failure,
but no apprehension exists of serious
calamity. In even good seasons, he
said, there is poverty in the section
mentioned.

NO ENCORES TONIGHT.
Audience at Elks' NIinstrels VIII
Have to Be Satisfied With Program.

The people who go to the Elks'
Minstrel show tonight need not expect
encores. Monday night they got two
and three responses for their hand
cIapping Director Donahue said to-
day that no encores whatever will be
responded to. This will succeed in
cutting down the time of the show to
two and one-half hours as it was
originally planned. There is apt to be
some fun and embarrassment tonight
because of the well known inSiStance
of Topeka audiences for encores.
Up to noon today 1900 tickets had
been sold for tonight's performance.
A bigger attendance is expected than
turned out on Monday night. The
managers are planning to take care of
a full house.

BUTTERED TEA OF THIBET
Sailor Tells Of Priced Dish Of Natives
Which Did Not Exactly
Suit His Taste.

"Younghusband has reached Lhassa,'
said a sailor. THAT means that he has
eaten buttered tea. Buttered tea is tho
great dish of the Thibetans, and to re-
fuse to eat it is IN insult to the people,
He laughted bitterly.
They made me eat their buttered
tea" he said. 81 thought that it would
kill me-"
What did 1t look like?"
1T looked amber-colored mud. mixed
with dirt and slime. 1t was about as
thick as puddin'."
What did it taste like?"
Taste like? can't tell you. It tasted
terrible, terrible. Buttered tea, you sec,
is made of stewed tea leaves. rancid but
ter and flour, all boiled together. First
they stew a handful Of tea leaves in q
quart of water for about an hour. Then
they add more water, a pound of rancid
butter and about a pint of flour. This
mixture they boil over a quick fire, and
they serve 1t hot.
Poor Younghusband! I can imagine
him in a Thibetan house. ingratiating
himself by eating buttered tea. At every
meal the Thibetans expect you to eat a
pint of it."

BIG BEE RANCH IN FRISCO
Public School Principal of Coast City
Harvests q Third of q Ton
of Honey a Season.

There is a bee ranch with more than
1000, 900 bees in the heart of one OF the
densest residence districts of San Fran
cisco. 1t is owned by Philip Prior, prin-
cipal of a public school, and is in the
little back yard of his home. For ten
years he has kept his bees there, has
Earve5Gd about a third of a ton Of
honcYe,.ch season and has been at no
expense for food for his interesting and
industrious pets. Although it is O dis
lance of two and one-half miles from
the Prior bee ranch to Golden Gate park,
the bees make the trip there, collect
loads Of honey and get back to the hive
in two minutes. making a bullet-like
flight at the surprising rate of $50 miles
an hour. Mr.. Prior has demonstrated
this by having an observer watch GER
tain b~ee-favored places in the park and
exactly timing the arrival there of bees
he purposely sprinkled with flour as
they issued from a hive. He has also
kept time on the absence of the whitsned
bees.
