Spain is a distinction which even 4
member of Emperor Williams family
might desire to possess.
On several grounds there is reason
to doubt the truth Of the report In
the first place the Princess Louise is
a Lutheran. and her imperial sire's
strong religious views might he an OBJ
stacle to her embracing another faith,
as she would have to do in becoming
the queen of Spain. In the next place,
the Spanish king would have to wait
some years for a wife if he were to
postpone marriage until the twelve
yearold German princess arrives at
proper age. Then, again, the young
princess, who is said to he. like her
father, very strong willed. might not
like the king picked out for her, and
though perhaps this would not he final
in the matter it would prove an addi-
tiOnal obstacle.
At present little Victoria Louise is
not bOthering her pretty head about
the plans of the matchmakcrs, but is
worrying most about learning how to
cook. She spends two hours every aft
ernoon in a kitchen built for her espe-
cial use, practicinS on dishes which one
of these days she will try on her fond
parents and brothers. The emperor be
lieveS that all women should know
how to cook and makes no exception
of his daughter. She is the youngest
of the kaiSer's seven children and
might he III danger of being spoiled
were it not for her fathers strictness
as a disciplinarian. But even the au-
tocratic ruler of the German empire
sometimes has difficulty in enforcing
his authority with the lively. blue eyed
baby of the family and he once said
TO a friend, 'She often forgets when
speaking to me that am an emperor,
but she never forgets for q moment
that she is an emperor's daughter

som as the Rose.
One OF the most forbidding portions
Of the American continent has been the
desert Of Idaho in the Snake river re-
gion. Little besides sage grass would
grow there. and the lands, suitable
neither for agricultural nor grazing pur-
poses. had been abandoned to coyotes
and noisome reptiles.
But of late an almost miraculous
change has taken place in this region.
The government engineers thought they
saw n promise of fertility there. and
the tract was chosen as one OF the
earliest 10 be irrigated artificially under
the new scheme for which congress has
appropriated several million dollars.
At an expenditure of s.. GOO. 900. which
has been set aside for the construction
of great impounding dams and diversion
canals above the Minidoka rapids. full
" $12O00,OO0 of taxable property Will
be created in this basin. Taking as 4
basis the last census agricultural fig
ures for Idaho. the 10000 acres TO
be reclaimed under this project Will.
when settled under irrigation. repre-
earnings of the land will amount 10
about $2OO0,OO0. With this area cut
up into / 400 farms. as is proposed by
the government. a rural population will
be created of 1000. which will bring
with IT an urban population Of probably
another 1000, or 1900 people.
The Snake desert basin when irri-
gated will afford an ideal example OF
western stock raising under the hui
name and profitable method OF Win
ter feeding. On many of the great
western ranges the cattle are left to
shift for themselves the year around,
cntailing during the cold seasons great
loss of stock and always untold brute
suffering Around the Minitloka basin
extend vast stretches of unreclaimed
land. which must always remain useful
solely for grazing purposes. The irri-
CATION of this tract OF over 10000
acres will provide. through luXuriant
crops of alfalfa, winter feeding for
tens OF thousands of head of stock.
Where now one steer requires thirty or
even forty acres for his support. under
irrigation the forage from one acre will
more than support and finish him off
for market. Idaho has already attain
ell distinction as fruit producer, al
though the altitude of Minidoka IS a
little too great for the best growth of
trees.
In other irrigated sections of the
state, notably the Payette valley, APP
pies, plums, apricOts, grapes and mel
ons reach high state of perfection and
command fancy prices. Men have be-
come wealthy from the careful Guilt
walton of twenty and forty acre tracts.
and enough can be raised from five
acres of this irrigated land, eXhaustless
in its deep fertility, to support a family
in comfort. The irrigated communities
of Idaho have become among the most
prosperous in the world. The desert
lands of MinidOka, producing only sage
brush. are now only awaiting water to
supply the farmer with great variety
Of produce.

Princess Victoria Louise.
The only daughter of the German
emperor is the Princess Victoria Lou

is generally known, though the child
was laden at her christening with
list reading Victoria Louise Adelaide
Mathilde Charlotte. She is an attrac-
tive miss of twelve summers and much
like other children of her age In her
behavior and ideas. But there is al
ready talk of her marriage. As the
only daughter of one of the most pow
erful monarchs of Europe she is of
course Il valuable commodity, so 10
speak, in the royal matrimonial mar
ket, and though the little girl has
scarcely yet left off playing with her
dolls the royal matchmakerS are at

TO WALK ACROSS
The CONTINENT

NEW YORK, March 26.-Bright and
early next Monday morning, according to
present arrangements, Mrs. Annette L.
Place, of the Professional Woman's league,
will start from this city in an attempt
to walk across the continent. The trip
will be made in company with her close
friends, Mr.. and Mrs. Brannan, and the
party expects to reach California within a
year. They will take the journey in easy
stages, tramping each day as strength and
inclination will permit, and lodging where
they may on the road. New Jersey, Penn
sylyania, West Virginia, Kentucky, Mis-
souri,, Indian Territory, the northern part
of Texas, New Mexico and Arizona is the
itinerary mapped out, though the pedes-
TRANS will feel at liberty to depart from
it at any time.
Mrs. Place, though past the years when
most women care for such activities, is
the embodiment of nervous vigor. She has
been vegetarian for a number of years,
and attributes her unimpaired health to
this fact. A member of many clubs, she
is one of the most indefatigabe attend
ants at all meetings. When walking is
possible, she scorns a car, covering miles
with apparently no fatigue. Her project to
traverse the continent afoot is no surprise
to her many friends, who will watch the
progress of her journey with much i'm
terest.

Republicans were busy in the Fourth
ward last night and an enthusiastic meet
ing was held at the Raymond hotel on
Pacific avenue. During the meeting a
drunken man tried to take an impromptu
part in the program, but word from Po-
lice Captain Wiley put quietus on his am-
bition to become stump orator.
Frank Woodwork was the chairman of
the meeting and the speakers were Mayor
Louis D. Campbell, Senator Lincoln Davis,
J.. G. Dennis, John W. Linck, +. r. Baker,
J.. G. Jackson, Charles d. Atkins and H.
A. Moore, Republican nominee for the
city council from the Fourth ward.
Mr.. Linck made few remarks referring
pointedly to Mayor Campbells administra-
tion. He said that the mayor had stood
practically alone the past four years and
had been obliged to disregard the wishes
of many of his friends, because he saw
his duty and did it. "The Democrats are
abusing him" said Mr.. Linck, "but Truth
crushed to earth shall rise again
Senator Davis waxed eloquent in his ad-
dress, and said he was glad that so many
who were on the other side of the fence
in the convention had remained in the Re
publican ranks. The supreme court, he
said, had just handed down decision to
the effect that it was wrong to merge"

YOUNG CORBETT FEELS THAT He
WAS vRONGED BY THE REFEREE

SAN FRANCISCO, March 26.-James
Britt Of California was given the decision
last night over William Rothwell, better
known as Young Corbett," of Colorado,
n a 20-round contest at Woodward's pa
vlion.
Up to the seventeenth round Corbett's
advantage was apparent, but in that round
Britt rallied and rained right and left on
various portions of Corbett's anatomy,
orcing the champion to clinch to save
himself.
The styles of the two boxers were en-
tirely distinctive. Britt fought for the
body most of the time, while Corbett de-
voted himself to the face, head and jaw.
Britt weighed just 1919 pounds, but Cor.
belts weight was not made public, though
it is understood that he was at least a
pound and half below the agreed weight,
100 pounds.
Both men fought hard in every round.
Britt, in his crouching attitude, was able
10 guard his stomach effectively, though
Corbett was able to land hard on his
head and jaw
Corbett got first blood in the fourth
round with a terrific left, which landed
on Britt's nose. In the last round, the
twentieth, Britt did most of the fighting.
The round ended with both men in a
fierce mix-up. The decision was received
with cheers.

a crowd of Seventh ward voters in Gilbert
hall last night. The campaign issues were

Mr. Wright declared his purpose of
standing squarely on the Democratic plat
form with reference to all public ques
tions. He referred to the matter of
"closed' town and said that so far az
gambling and slot machines were con
cerned, such matters were regulated by
a state law and were entirely beyond the
jurisdiction of the mayor.
The other speakers told of the increased
expense of conducting city affairs during
recent years, and statements were made
declaring that the administration had been
unduly eXtravagant.
