MAKE RAIN UNDER

Tiles Are Laid in Fields and

DES MONIES, Iowa, April 22.-
Making rain under ground is one of the
feats proposed for Northwestern Iowa
in order to insure good crops when
that naturally wet district is threat
ened by failure on account of drought.
Universally farmers in this territory
are going to take advantage of the new
drainage law. Great heaps of tile are
to be seen on farms. When the Rock
Island seed corn excursion, which has
just returned from the northwest COR
ner of the state, went into that Sec
ton Director J.. r. Sage was called
upon to speak of drainage, Many have
feared that by tilling their land to
escape the evils of wet season they
would make their land less able to
Withstand a drought. Director Sage
reassured them on this point. He said:
tile drainage in land is equally as
good in a dry season as in wet one
1t is noticed that in a dry season where
corn grows there are always green
stretches along where the tile is laid.
The air rushing in through the empty
tiles becomes cool and, condensing it's
moisture, sends it out through the tiles.
This is a veritable rain under ground.
So you need have no fear of tiling your
land. 1t will serve a purpose in both
wet and dry seasons"
Between the stations of Maclay and
Leverett is located swamp of 1000
acres. The owner, Mr.. Griffin, Of
Spencer, will drain this and convert it
into a great corn field. The work of
converting this swamp into practical
farm land will be one of the first mir
acles to be performed. by the sanction
of the new drainage law

Contract of Ownership Is Signed

PARIS, April 22.-The contract by
which the ownership of the Panama
canal passes to the United States is
signed, sealed, delivered and complete.
The title to the canal route is now
vested in the government of the United
States. The document by which this
transaction is consummated bears the
signatures of President Bo and Di-

company.
The transfer is complete and with
out reservation and the United States
secures perfect title.
This result has been accomplished
quietly and most unexpectedly as the
public had been given to understand
that the contract would not be execut-
ed until after the meeting of the stock
holders of the Panama Canal company
tomorrow, at which the question Of
ratification would be presented.

licans allow the president to treat
them as cattle and lie down before him
in his green pastures"
Mr.. Kitchin closed by quoting from
"Americal IDEALS" in which Mr.. Roose-
velt, he alleged, had denounced Gen.
Grosvenor by name "as a champion of
foul government and dishonest poll
tics" Then, turning to Gen. Grosvenor,
he added:
Read that and then read your re-
cent speech defending the president
and tell the house that you feel like
thirty cents"
Ohio Man Talks Back.
Replying, Gen. Grosvenor said that it
was unimportant what he had written
four years ago. He (Grosvenor) four
years ago was an opponent of the NOM
ination of Mr.. Roosevelt. At that time
he wrote a popular opinion of Mr..
Roosevelt, which was printed all over
the country. In this he made perfectly
plain the sentiment at that time. Mr.
Grosvenor added:
And if the gentleman thinks he can
make me apologize for that statement
he has got hold of the wrong man."

said the city Of Washington "swarmed

ties desirous of obtaining an undue and
unfair advantage and of receiving
enormous sums of money out of the

Mr.. Hitchcock (Neb) declared the
bill was but the first step to commit
the Republican party irrevocably to the
doctrine Of ship subsidies He was in
terrupted by Mr.. Littlef1eld, who said
the Republican party in one of it's
platforms had declared for discriminat-
ing duties.
Democratic applause greeted Mr..
Baker On. Y), who inquired If it was
not true that subsequent to the decla-
rations referred to by Mr.. Littlefeld,
the Republican party, being short of
funds In the campaign of 1898, went
to the ship subsidy beggars and hunt
ers and collected a corruption fund Of
$5OO,0OO."

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 22.-
Late today President Roosevelt was
assailed bitterly in the house by Claude
Kitchin On. c., who included in his
castigation Gen. Grosvenor, whom he
charged with having Inundated Theo--
dore Roosevelt the vice presidential
candidate, whom in a recent speech in
the house he had glorified as the
worthy successor of Mckinley.
GrOsyenor, he said, had forgotten
that during McKinley's last campaign,
as a contributor to the New York Jour-
nal in signed articles, he (Grosvenor)
had referred to the president, then
governor of New York. as a brilliant.
erratic and curious sort of a man." Mr..
Kitchin charged that Mr. Roosevelt as
candidate for vice president was dis
tasteful to Mr.. Mckinley, and chal-
lenged Mr.. Grosvenor to deny it, as
well as the statement that Mr.. Roose-
Welt, as vice president, was Inundated
by the friends of Mckinley, including
Gen. GrOsvenor himself.
GuIp Down Everything.
And yet" he said, you men sit here
and gulp down everything Roosevelt
says, and not one of you dares raise
his hand in memory of William Nc
Kinley. Mckinley had a right to think
that Roosevelt would be distastefuI to
him"
Mr.. Kitchin likened President Roose-
velt in this connection to the ant hill
taking the place of De mountain. the
owls screech taking the place of the
tomb's symphonies, and to the minnow
taking the place of the whale. He de-
clared that the president had insulted
the people of the South by saying in
one of his publications that throughout
Southern character there ran a streak
OF brutal barbarism. He openly charg-
ed the president with being the advo-
cate of lynch law, and quoted from one
OF the presidents books to sustain his
assertion. In his opinion the presj-
dent, who, he said, while governor Of
New York had styled the members of
congress as herd of cattle, was unfit
TO mold office and a dangerous man.
Treated Like Cattle.
The humiliating spectacle" he con-
unued, is that since he has been pres
ident of the United States he has
treated this Republican house as
herd of cattle, and the most humiIiat
ing thing about it is that the Repub-
