May Have to Coerce Turkey.

Washington, June 81. - Minister
14eishmann has encountered singular
and disagreeable reluctance on the part
of the Porte to enter on negotiations
looking to removal of discrimination
against American citizens, professional

A characteristic Turkish method OF
blocking attempts at negotiation is its
ueclination to accede to the request Of
the State Department that the Turkish
mission in Washington be elevated to
the rank of an embassy, so that Minis
ter Leishmann at Constantinople might
attain similar rank and thus be able
personally to approach the Sultan. Be-
ing kept in his grade as minister, he Is

PRESIDENT BURNS
Justifies His Course in a Public State
ment.

Colorado Springs. June 21.-Presl-
;dent Burns. after the meeting OF the
Portland directors yesterday, issued
statement to the public:
my action has been repudiated by
the board of directors" says Mr. Burns,
&c. majority of whom have ordered the
suits dismissed, and the order will be

, MIR. Burns then goes on to review the
strike.
Referring in particular to his deal
ings with the Western Federation or
Miners, Mr.. Burns says:
During the strike, and since last
January, Mr.. Meyer asked an audience
with me- at which urged him to aban-
don the strike and Gail 1t off, giving
Kim what seemed to me conclusive rea-
sons. He declined. Shortly afterwards
I was informed that the union would
demand my discharge Of non-union men
or compel union men to leave the mine.

however, and the suit was never filed.

Big Irrigation Project.

The Denver News correspondent at
Florence, Colorado, says: One of the
greatest reservoir projects ever con,
ceived in the state is rapidly taking
definite shape. 1t will be known un'
der the name Of the Columbine Reser-
voir and Investment Company. To-day
this company secured a grant from the
United States government for eighty
acres of land situated in an ideal spot
at the head of Four Mile creek
This company has taken in the hold
ings of the Fremont Mining and De-
velopment Company, which has al
ready secured title to reservoir site
but short distance below, consisting
of seventy acres. The capacity of the
two reservoirs which are to be used
for the storage of flood waters. will
reach over 600,000,000 cubic feet. and
will be used to irrigate 10000 acres Of
land on the park north of Florence.
In addition to this the company con-
templates a large summer resort. an
enormous lake from which pure noun
tain ice can be cut, and the stocking
of their reservoirs with trout. By a
series of conduits the water confined
in the reservoirs will be used to de-
velop electricity for an enormous tnr-
bine wheel. This power is to be used
at the coal mines and for the running
of an electric street railway in the Ar
kansas valley and for the furnishing OF
power generally between Florence and
Pueblo.
Bonds will be issued to the amount
of 100000 to start with, and when the
complete practicability OF the PROPOSE
ton Is demonstrated the company will
be bonded for several millions of dol,
lars.
Both OF the sites selected are ideal
and will require dam of but twenty
feet in width, attached to solid gran
ite formation on either side. Some 10
cal men are Interested but the mon
eyed interests intended to carry the
plan to success are distributed
