Cochran 6 Co.'s Cotton Letter.

yBy Gilbert & Clay.
 New Orleans, January 30.-Liverpool evidently became intoxicated by the effect of the visible, raesulting in an absolute disregard for all other considerations. English traders seem to realize that they have been deluded both ways, going and coming, but repentance is better late than never
 Yesterdays shaking up fin American markets admitted of vigorous response to foreign news this morning and new high prices were scored. While bulls in- dulged in renewed predictions of an early rice to 20 cents.
 With the war feature still hanging over like n storm cloud. however, the ma jority of traders realize that conservatism is the best policy to follow at the mo ment and are accordingly tempering their operations with due consideration.

A Gigantic Enterprise.

What appears on its face to be
the most extensive irrigation
scheme contemplated by private
capital i'll the Pacific nortuwet
came to light this week, with the
return to this city last Sunday of
{. G. Wands the well known civil
engineer accompanied by George
Nelson Of Seattle a we'll known con.
tractor.
The two men left this city Satur-
day, Feb. al for the big Klickitat
River in the foot hills surroundin e
Mt. Adams. They went for the
express purpose Of locating a
water appropriation copy Of
which was filed with the county
auditor Monday.
The proposition in brief is to
take water out ofthe Big Klickitat
river to irrigate the highlands of
the Horse Heaven plateau.
1t is perfectly feas ible they say.
The Klickitat river is swift flow
ing stream which carries large
volume of water at all seasons OF
the year. The elevation on the
river where the intake is proposed
is 1850 feet. On the hills south oil
Prosser the the elevation is 1850
feet with comparative level and
open country in between so that il
may be seen that the proposition
from an engineering stand point is
is feasible.
The water appropriation made
calls for 2Soo cubic feet per secoud
of time. While is is too early to
give any definite figures regarding
the size of the prospective canal,
it may be said that that size con-
remplated is ditch SO feet at the
lotion for the first few miles.
After that the dimensions Of the
ditch would diminish. 1t is esti-
mated that not less than three
hundred thousand acres of tillable
land would be reclaimed.-Yakima
Democrat.

best of all.
Quite number Of questions were

n.y. He stated that this was an
IDEAL cherry country, and that he
would recommend planting cherries,
peaches, grapes and small fruit,
aud early vegetables, also summer
apples Winter apples he did not
mink would do as we'll here as in
higher attitudes and colder climates.

DENIED CHANCE
TO SHIFT BASE
RebStOck's Counsel Refused
Privilege Of Calling the
Grand Jurors to Testify
TAKE WRONG COURSE
Argument on Motion to Set
Aside Indictment COnclud-
ed and Judgment Reserved

Through a misunderstanding of the
law on the part of his attorneys,
Joseph Rebstock, charged with violat
ing the election law while an inspector
at the recent primary election, was de-
MED the privilege by Judge Lawlor
yesterday afternoon Of examining the
members of the Grand Jury on his mo-
tion to set aside the indictment against
him.
When the case was called yesterday
morning District Attorney Byington
again asked that Rebstock be placed on
the witness stand for crOss-examina-
ton as to the actions of the Grand Jury
in finding the indictment, but the
Judge again refused on the ground that
the defendant must not be unduly
haraSSed.
The District Attorney then filed
counter afidavits by Alfred Lilienfeld,
foreman of the Grand Jury; six other
grand jurors and Assistant District At
tOrney Weller that Rebstock was not
compelled to testify, but that when
asked if he desired to be sworn and
give testimony he replied in the
affirmative and gave his testimony
freely and voluntarily.
Rebstock's attorneys wanted to put
Foreman Lilienfeld on the stand, claim
testimony in support of their aver
ments, which was objected to by AS
sistant District Attorney Ferral on the
ground that the matter was closed by
the filing of the counter affidavits.
After argument the Judge said the
defendants attorneys had the Oppor-
tunity of placing the members of the
Grand Jury on the witness stand, but
had not done so. Instead they had
taken the most unusual course of filing
an affidavit under the pains and pen
alties of perjury. They could not now
claim the right to produce oral testi-
mony in support of the affidavit and
must be held by the course of procedure
they had adopted.
Attorney Newburgh said he had been
misled by decision in the New York
courts, and if defendants counsel had
erred through ignorance of the law, the
defendant should not suffer. He
thought the affidavit was in the nature
of a pleading and after the counter
pleadings had been submitted an issue
was formed and oral evidence could be
presented upon that issue.
Ferral pointed out that he had OBJ
jected to defendant proceeding by
affidavit when the Grand Jury was
brought into court to testify, but he
was overruled. At that time counsel
did not say that he contemplated using
one witness.
The Judge said that the statement
made by defendants counsel as a rea-
son why the court should exercise dis
cretion and proceed anew and allow
oral testimony did not appeal to the
court 1t would be refused.
Attorney O'Grady wanted to put
Secretary Welch of the Grand Jury
and Foreman Lilienfeld on the stand,
but Byington objected and the Judge
sustained the objection and ordered
them to proceed with the argument on
the motion to set aside the indictment.
After a lengthy argument the Judge
said he would render his decision to-
morrow morning.
