| by the Democrats this tall to
frighten many O.ero county far
mess and ditch men into voting
against Governor Peabody. who
are naturally inclined to give him
their enthusiastic support and en-
dorsement. State Canal No. One
has always been a bugbesr in Otero
county. and every senator and
representative elected from this
county for years has pledged him
self to work against any bill intro
duced in the legislature furthering
the scheme.
When G. w. Swink, the father
OF Watermelon day. was in the
senate, he was inclined to enjoy .
quiet nap occasionally. and it is
said that all that was necessary to
awaken him from a sound slumbeT
was for some one TO gently whis
per State Canal No. One" He
was then the most wide awake man
in the senate chamber.
Al the last session OF the leRis
lature a bill was introduced pro
viding for the construction OF State
Canal No. One for the purpose Of
retaining a large body OF land in
Fremont and Pueblo counties. IL
was understood at the time that
Governor Peabody was not only
pushing the bill but was interested
financially in the land to be re
claimed Governor Peabody was
never interested financially in any
portion Of the plan. and in letter
to 7. F. Godding. IT,. says that
his only object in fsvoriug the bill
at all was to provide employment
to the large force OF idle convicts
who are held at Canon City, and
for whom no employment OF any
kind IS furnished. Governor Pea
body says that the state canal pro
position IS now a dead issue, for
the reason that the land sought to
be reclaimed is now provided for
from another source. The COVER
nor's letter to Mr.. Godding Is as
follows.

Hon. I. F. Godding. IT,,
Rocky Ford. Colo.
My Dear Sir. Your commun,
cation OF the 10th inst is hereby
acknowledged, and wish to say
in reply that have carefully read
your inquiry relative to State Canal
No. One, and the issue the same
is liable to make in the present
campaign.
Replying thereto will state that
| recommended to the Fourteenth
General Assembly the matter of
completing State Canal No. One.
My object in doing so was to fur
nish employment to the large force
OF idle convicts who are held at
Canon City, for whom no employ
ment OF any kind is furnished.
The bill regularly passed the
House, and was sent to the SEN
ate for its approval. While under
consideration in that body ! Sc
cured sufficient pledges to have
successfully passed the bill
through the senate, making the
appropriation asked for, but the
Attorney General and other gen.
tlemen in the lega! profession in
the state convinced me that the
passage Of such bill at that time
might possibly interfere with If not
jeopardize the suit pending be
tween Kansas and Colorsdo. I
therefore voluntarily asked Repre-
sentative Meserve TO exercise his

The question of power is becoming of
Importance in this camp, as well as
%neighboring camps, on account of scar
city of wood for fuel in the vicinity of
the mines and the almost prohibitory
cost of transporting it any distance.
There is a good deal of timber suitable
for fuel and mining timber, but it is
either located some distance away,
where, on account of lack Of roads, it
is difficult to reach, or on other prom
Using mineral claims where it is needed
for development; hence power will have
to be looked for from some other
source.
The demand for mine timber is also
increasing and, as most of the species
of forest trees in this district is barely
large enough for this purpose when
mature, the young trees should not be
cut for wood but left growing so as to
furnish a future supply Of an article so
vital to the mining industry in a coun-
try.
Importation of coal is out Of the ques-
ton, at least, until railroad facilities
are available, ever if it is found as
close by as the the Orofino district.
However, waterpower is plentiful,
and transported in the form of cleo
tricity to mines and mills, it is the only
logical source of power in Central
Idaho. Numerous streams and small
rivers tributary to the Salmon and
south fork of the Clearwater rivers,
many of them falling from 100 to 200
feet per mile, will furnish abundant
power for small stations, while the
larger rivers have ample fall for large
power stations.
The Crackerjack, in the Hump dis
trict, have their own electric plant for
power and light, and the Orogrande, on
Crooked river, have water power, but
there are many other properties, both
in the Hump and Elk City districts,
that would use electric power if it was
available, and power companies would
find no difficulty in disposing of their
product. II. i

RAILROADS.

Cutting of freight rates seems to
have suddenly come into style among
the railroads in the Mississippi valley,
and, in view of the coming decision of
the United States supreme court in the
merger case, may extend over the
whole country. Regarding this a Port
land correspondent in the Lewiston
Tribune. says: 1T is probable that the
decision will be received from the SUI
pre1ne court mex Monday, and if the
Northern Securities company is dissi-
pated, may mean defections in the
present community Of interest control
of western railroads that will preclpl-
tate a freedom of routing and rivalry
for business that will lead to extension
of rate cutting to the Pacific coast"
Wonder if this rivalry will last long
enough and extend also into railroad
building, so one the competing lines
would find it convenient to build a line
into this part of the country?
The natural course for a railroad
from Sites would be up the south fork
of the Clearwater to the mouth Of
Crooked river, from there one branch
r.
would u up Crooked river to Hump
and the other up Red river and over
the divide to Dixie The total length
Of such a railroad would be about 100
miles and would supply the needed
transportation facilities in the numer-
camps in Elk City, Dixie, Hump
and Newsome districts. AS the princl-
nal industry is gold mining, all supplies
of food and clothing, lumber, coal and
mining and milling machinery of every
kind will have to be imported, ard as
numerous partly developed properties
delayed only by the high cost of trans
porting supplies by teams over fifty to
one hundred miles of mountain roads,
would push development work and
build mills. etc., in case such railroad
was built. 1t is evident that there
would be traffic enough to justify a
railroad company in building the road

cal. The enveloping movement OF the
three Japanese armies Of Gems. Kuroki,
Nodzu and Oku around Gen. Kuropat-

complete, and the extended line Of the

PROSPECTS IMPROVE.
In Spite Of Some Unfavorable Factors,
- Trade Confidence Appears to
be Returning.

New York, July 30.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review Of Trade says:
Coincidence appears to be returning,
despite q large edition to the army OF
unemployed. Labor disturbances are
the most favorable factors in the in
,dustrial and commercial situation at
the present time, curtailing the out
put Of q few much needed products
and reducing the demand for all COM
modities.> Aside from this adverse in
fuence, the situation has improved,
although progress Is slow and fire.
quently interrupted: Another week
has put much wheat and cotton beyond
danger and brought other crops nearer
maturity. Dealers are providing for
the future little more freely, and in
several important branches Of industry
orders come forward In greater bulk.
Earnings of the railways thus far re-
ported for July are only ~ per cent.
less than last year. "Tt' &::s.t. = ~
Failures this week numbered 220 in
the United States, against 100 last
year, and 10 in Canada, compared with
10 q year ago." ~ -.
Bradstreet's says: More activity is
noted at a few western centers, but
fall trade is slow to assume form,
pending assurance as to crop results
and settlement of existing industrial
disturbances. Crop conditions are, on
the whole, favorable, though Irregular
ity in sections prevents generalization.
Fall inquiry and shipments of goods
are Nvening up at the west and are
expected to become active early in
August. The movement of winter
wheat to market, somewhat delayed
this year, has begun in earnest. Coin
cidently, improvement in collections is
shown at some centers and the demand
for money from the country has in
creased. The movement Of currency to
move the crops has assumed good
proportions this week. Unrest in in
dustry is a feature of importance"
