ment covers 30 printed pages. of which

Secretary Taft attributes the falling
off of the trade of the islands during
the last year from s66,000,000 TO $63,-
900 900. to the change of money from
the Mexican silver standard to a gold
standard. of which he says;
THE exact history of the change is

form a unique instance in the finan-
cial history of the world of a rapid
change from one coinage TO another.
Ii Was Inevitable.

be effected without, for the time bring

Denver, Colorado, April 5-After a

succeeded in completely ousting the
opposing faction known as the antis.
The proposition of the anti-Wolcott

was voted down by large majority.
The committee adopted the new rules
for the government of the state cen
trail committee framed by the Wolcott-
etes thereby giving the antis practical

to the state convention to be held to
select six delegates to the national Re-
publican convention in Chicago.
Theodore Roosevelt was endorsed

The breach existing between the two

Indianapolis, April "a report from
Washington to the effect that Presl-
dent Roosevelt had expressed prefer
ence for United States Senator Bever-
idge for the temporary Craftsmanship
of the Republican national convention,
and that some of the old members OF
the committee object to him and have
so informed the President, Occasioned
much comment among Republicans in
the hotel lobbies.
It was said today that the objection
was urged partly on account OF the
youth of the Senator and partly be-
cause Indiana was likely to get the
second place on the ticket, and the
memebrs thought this state would be
receiving more than its share OF the
honors.
The President, it is reported, contin-
ues to insist upon the selection of Mr.
Beveridge, on the grounds that the sub
ject was mentioned to him when he
was in ignorance Of any objection on
the part of the committee to Mr. Bev-
eridge. -

IRRIGATION N OREGON,
Progress Made in That State in Recent
Years According to a Census Of
flee Bulletin.

The census bureau has issued a pre-
liminary report on irrigation in Ore
gon in 1902. 1t shows that the irriga-
tlOn conditions there were above the
average. Better methods of manage.
ment and a more economical use of
the ordinary water supply are urged in
order to greatly increase the number
OF acres that may be brought under ir-
rigation. In 1902 the number of farms
reported was 5,133, with an irrigated
area OF 439,981 acres, an increase since
1899 of 51,671 acres, or 1873 per cent
for the three years. The per cent of
increase for the ten years from 1851
to 1899 was 1882. In 1902, $3.50 irci.
eating systems were in operation, rep
resenting total construction cost of
81, 2,0S9,609, an average of 1913 per sys-
tenn and $475 per irrigated acre. The
total length of main canals and bitches
was 1868 miles, an average of IA
miles per system.
The aggregate number of acres irri-
gated by the 2,417 systems receiving
water from streams was 428,925 be-
longing to 4,978 farms. The average
cost per acre was $4S1. The ia sys-
TENS supplied with water from springs
irrigated 1879 acres on 131 farms, the
average cost per acre being $213
Twenty-four we'll systems irrigated
297 acres, representing "a farms, at an
average cost per acre of $15.25.
The stream systemss cost, initially,
s2 062, 1888 for the 3,6O4 miles of maa
canals and bitches and the necessary
lams and headgates. The first cost of
he spring system was $22,9S5, and
he length of main bitches was ~ |

UNIQUE PUEBLO CONGRESS.
Will Be Held Here Tomorrow to Con-
slider Supreme Court Decision,
DECLARING Them Citizens,

A very unique event will take place
at Santa Fe on tomorrow, Wednesday.
The Pueblos throughout the Territory
have elected delegates to a congress
to be held at the court house to con-
slider the recent decision of the New
Mexico Supreme Court, declaring that
the Pueblos are entitled not only to all
the privileges of citizenship but should
also assume some of it's responsible
ties and burdens. This is the first
Pueblo congress in many years. 1t is
probable that the Indians will agree
to deed their reservations back to the
United States and then have the feder-
al government re-grant them upon the
condition that they should be inalien-
able and not subject to taxation as
long as New Mexico is Territory.
The Indians are very much wrought
up over the matter as they imagine
that the Supreme Court decision is an
entering wedge to deprive them of
their lands and water rights. They re-
Gently sent petition to the depart
ment of the interior asking for protec-
tion. The petition was written in the
pueblo of San Juan in Spanish and
translated into English. 1t was a very
unique document and was sent to
Washington in its original form. s- !.

THE CONGO FREE STATE.
Presents Most Deplorable Condition
of Affairs-American Consul
Makes Tour of Inspection.

Louisville, April 5-W. M. Morrison
southern Presbyterian minister in Con
go Free State, in speaking to the Pres
byterian Ministers Association here
gave an impressive recital of the a..
legged barbarities practiced upon the
natives of the Congo Free State by
those holding power. DR.. Morrison
lived in Congo Free State for seven
years. He says King Leopold has a
native cannibal army of 10000 men
officered by white Belgians, and arm
ed with repeating rifles. With the sol
diers raids are made and slaves cap
tured and tribes forced to pay tribute
in ivory and rubber. Cannibalism and
many other barbarities are practiced
by these soldiers.
The Belgian government makes a
denial of these charges
and refuses to do anything. The act
ing American representative in the
Congo state has made tour of inves-
tgation and his report is now in the
hands of the state department 1t
1t presents most derlor-
able situation of affairs.

His Grandfather and Father.
Alphonzo c. Ireland, the well known
Plaza Pharmacist, who is member of
Montezuma Lodge No. 1, Free Masons,
of this city, has in his possession two
very interesting historical relics, espe-
cially from a Masonic standpoint One
of them is a very handsome white
sheep skin apron which has been in
his family over hundred years. 1t
was first owned by his grandfather,
thereafter by his father and for the
past 20 years has been in his posses
sion. The following inscription in ink
appear thereon: Brother Alfonso c..
Ireland, Philadelphia Lodge No. 10,
1900" The second inscription reads:
Brother Alfonso c. Ireland Scioto
Lodge No. 6, Chillicothe, Ohio, 1886"
The third is: Brother Alfonso c. Ire
land, Montezuma Lodge No. l, Santa
Fe, New Mexico, 1885"
Mr.. Ireland also possesses Mason
ic monitor which was owned by his
father and written by Robert Mccoy
and printed in 1854 in New York City
just so years ago. The monitor and
apron are very highly priced by Mr..
Ireland. The apron is as good and
looks as well as on the day when it
was made, which must certainly be
105 or LOG years ago, as it was present
Jed to his grandfather by the master of
the lodge in which. he. was made a
Mason in the year 1900.
