Bill Likely to Meet OdelPs D'sap-
proCaI-Reported an Senate.


Albany. March 1S-The prospect that inc
Niagara IOckrort and ontario Power company
hin win find a place on the statute books for
this year IS slim The bill was reported OUT Oh
the Senate Committee on Miscellaneous Cor
po~ations to-day and II may pass the Senate
and reach Governor OdelI but there il = more
than likely 20 be held up. Il is said that the
Governor. from what he knows Of the measure
thinks II confers too great powers on private
corporation II the bill becomes law the
Niagara company could condemn land in any
one II the many counties through which IL Is
authorized 10 transmit power. and might even
invade the streets Of municipality. Moreover
the objection raised by many public spirited
people IN the State. that the diversion OF water
from the Niagara River by the company would
destroy the beauty Of Niagara Falls. IS NOT
REGARDED lightly by the state authorities.
Rurnors OF a powerful lobby in the interests OF
the bill have been floating about the Capitol Tor
the last week or two. Charles NJ Warner OF
Syracuse ons Of the owners Of the asphalt
Trust has block Of the company's stock, and
the presence here Of his legislative representa-
tives has given color TO the reports.
A number Of bills are before the legislature
which confer on private corporations fully as
great powers as the Niagara Locl1port and On

New-York tomorrow morning. Senator Platt
will arrive there from Washington. and It Is
expected that he and the Governor will meet
at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. Senator Platt has
sent kilograms to friends all over the state
requesting them to meet him in New-York for
a conference. Governor OdeH said tonight that
far as he knew there would be no trouble
between himself and the Senator.
1t is thought that a conference between Sena-
tor Plat and his friends might bring about
better understanding between the Senator and
the Governor. and that the Governor may be
persuaded to relinpuish some of his plans for
the future and map out programme that
would be more 20 the liking of Senator Platt's

Sale Of Spanish Mausers.

The response of the Assistant Sec
rotary of War to the suggestion of a
Georgia Representative that the Maui
ser rifles captured during the Spanish
American War had. been sold to the
revolutionists of Panama has some
humorous aspects.
While the circumstances of the sale
were such that few, if any, of the
arms could possibly have reached the
Panamaians, the list of purchasers,
it is said, contains the names of three
members of Congress-M. E. Ohm
sted, of Pennsylvania c. B. Lands,
of Indiana. and Charles H. Grosve-
nor, of Ohio. Mr.. Olmsted bought
one, Mr.. Lands and General Grosve-
nor two apiece. The total number
received from all sources was ELISA
Only three are left at the Spring
field Armory. To the United States
Army g were issued and 2o,22o were
sold at auction, 1890 going to a
single purchaser.

couutry's Mineral Resources.

The Geological Survey will soon
issue its report on mineral resources
.foraIoo2, 4 showing that in that year
for the third time the total value Of
the commercial mineral products OF
the United States exceeded ST. 100000
ooo
The exact figures for 1909 were
81 Zoo, 63o,4I5, which, as compared with
$I,o86, 584,8sI in 1901, shows a gain OF
1902 per cent. The fuels increased
$26,667,743, or 6 per cent. Every va
riety of fuel increased in value except
anthracite coal, which shows a de-
crease in quantity of 23,3oI.85o long
tons and in value of $36,33o,434. The
metallic products increased $I23oo2, 3z5
and non-metallic products $5o,o72, o8o.
To these should be added estimated I'M
specified products, including building,
moulding and other sands reported to
this Office, the rare mineral molly

valued at $1,000 900.

Portland, Ore, (SpeciaD.-The pas

100000 for the Lewis and Clarke Ex-
position by the House OF Representa-
fives at Washington makes reality
of the plans OF the residents of Oregon
TO have celebration of international
proportions commensurate with the
events intended to be commemorated
Director General H. w. Goode in
An interview said:
The allowance of the Federal Gov
ernment makes the Lewis and Clarke
Exposition international in character
and makes certain the recognition and
acceptance OF foreign governments.
Every resident of the Pacific North
west congratulates himself on the ter
animation of the efforts of President
Harvey w.. Scott for recognition by
the Government.
"The preliminary work on the
grounds is already practically com
pieted, and the work on the main
structures will also be at once pushed
along with all possible vigor."

LIVE WASHINGTON AFFAIRS.
Problems Of Irrigation.

The progress made in the irrigation
work of the Government is reviewed
in the publication issued by the Geolo-
gical Survey, which points out the
necessity of great caution and con-
servatism in the extension of reclama-
ton work.
In the report it is stated that OF
the irrigation projects favorably re-
ported in 1908, which included those
on the Truckee river in Nevada. on
the Salt river in Arizona, on the Milk
river in Montana, on Sweetwater river
in Wyoming and on Gunnison river
i'll Colorado, the Nevada and Arizona
projects have been found feasible and
construction on the engineering work
along the Truckee and Salt rivers has
progressed to a reasonable extent.
The Montana project, however, has
presented unexpected engineering diff
culties as we'll as complications re-
gSrdiifg water rights, so that progress
is slow. 1t has been found necessary
to modify the first plans in order to
achieve early results. The Wyoming
project as first outlined has been found
impracticable. A better reservoir site
than that on the Sweetwater river,
however, has been found on the North
Platte, SO that large scheme of de-
velopment may be worked out there
in the future. Great engineering diff
culties are encountered in the &C
complishment of the Colorado pro-
ject The amount of arid land thereby
reclaimable is less, too. than was
anticipated.
