LORD CURzON RESIGNS
BECAUSE OF FRICTION

London, Aug. 81 The resignation
of Lord Curzou of Keddleston as vice.
roy Of India, and the appointment Of
the Earl of Mimic as his successor, is
announced at the Indian office.
According to the correspondence,
which is Issued in the form of a white
book, it appears that Lord Curzon's
resignation was cabled to that office on
August 10. 1t shows a decidedly bitter
feeling between Lord Curzon, the In
dla office and Lord Kitchener, COM
mander. in. chief of the forces in India,
over the new plan of army administrs-
ton in India.
Lord Curzon's dissatisfaction came
to a head with the refusal of the cab
met to appoint Maj. Gen. Sir Edmund
Barrow, on Lord Curz,n's recommend
alton, military member Of the council.
Replying on August to the refusal
of Mr.. Brodrick, the secretary for In
dis, to make this appointment, Lord
Curzon requests that the government
reconsider its decision, Gin order to
enable me to accept the responsibility
which infer his majesty's government
still desires me to assume"
Feels Lack OF Confidence.
Mr.. Brodrick again refused to COM
ply with the request for the appoint
ment of Gen. Barrow, and Lord Cur
zon Immediately rendered his resigna-
ton.
The resignation of Lord Curzon az
viceroy of India, which is the chief
theme of the morning newspapers, was
discounted by previous reports that a
disagreement was impending or that
his resignation had been rendered, all
of which had been steadily and fatty
denied by Mr.. Brodrick secretary Of
state for Indie.
All of the editorial articles praise
Lord Curzon's administration unstint-
eddy and credit him with having done
as great service in India as any of his
predecessors, if not greater.
1t is conceded that the Earl of Mimic
takes the reins at difficult stage, but
he is credited with ability equal to
that of any man in England to grasp
quickly and master the administrative
work.

TO find The LEAK.
SECRETARY hitchcock likely
TO START INQUIRY.
Cumulative Evidence That Someone
Is Tipping OFT Government IT..
rigattOn Projects and Giving
Out Other Information IN Ad.
vance of Official Notice,

Washington, Aug. 22.-Complaints
have reached the ears of the interior
department officials from time to time
that advance information of the gov
ernment's intentions regarding the
reclamation Of arid lands in various
places has been given out to interested
persons in advance. No general inves-
tigation Of these allegations has been
made, but the charges, although usu-
allv somewhat vague in their charac-
ter, have become cumulative, and it is
not unlikely that Secretary Hitchcock
will cause an official inquiry to be
made.
Among other charges it has been
said that persons in Eastern Washing
ton have secured tips" from the office
of the reclamation service engineer in
Spokane, especially in regard to the
government plans in the Palouse coun-
try. As a rule charges of this kind
have received scant recognition in the
reclamation service here, and the mat
ter has never been taken up by Score
tary Hitchcock personally. That an
effort is constantly made by persons
bent on speculation to obtain advance
information in regard to irrigation
projects is a matter of common knowl-
edge, and some of these persons have
undoubtedly been successful.
Had Bad Look.
Where definite knowledge of culpa-
bility has been wanting there still has
been certain incidents which at least
had bad look. For example 1t was
reported few days ago that the COM
plants about the reclamation service
were to be Investigated by committee
appointed by Secretary Hitchcock. A
committee was actually appointed,
consisting of Frank Bond, of the gen.
eral land Office; A. G. Shaw, of the
forestry service, and A. E. Chandler Of
the reclamation service, but it is now
given out that these men are to investi-
gate the general subject Of grazing on
public lands in the Western states. 1t
was said at the interior department
that the committee Is not charged with
the investigation of any scandals or
improper doings in the reclamation
service, but it is probable that the
mem bers will be ready to listen to any
complaints that may be made.
Secretary Hitchcock is absent from
Washington, although he is transact ing
necessary official business at his sum-
mer home. 1t is not unlikely that he
will take up the consideration of the
alleged leaks" in the reclamation
service.

He1en's Nest.

Once upon Il time there was little
girl named Helen. She lived in the
country, and about her house there
were many fine trees, where the birds
came every year to spend the summer
Now Helen loved to watch the birds,
butterflies and bees doing their work.
Well, one day Mr.. and Mrs. Oriole
soon decided to build nest there. and
each flew off in a different direction to
find building material.
"Oh. papa cried Helen, who had
caught the CLEAN Of brilliant orange
and black. lets help them so they'll
stay here
"All right, little girl answered her
father
Helen had helped birds before by
putting bits of string and worsted and
straws on the ground and nearby
bushes.
Suddenly she clapped her hands. ex-
claiming. "Oh, I'm going to label this
nest and then. after it's all built, it
will be NINE
| SO she carefully wrote her name on
tag of paper, putting a long piece of
white string through the end of the
tag On some other tags she wrote the
day and month. May 2S.' Then they
were left in plain sight and Helen
scampered away.
| The birds did not seem to notice the
strings at first. but later every one was
gone. and from that hanging nest
waved six little tags bearing Helen's
name and the date!
When the birds had raised their fam
lilies and gone south, her father took
down the nest and brought it into the
house to Helen.-St. Nicholas.

Water For Troy.

A proposition has been made by
Holm Bros, the local saw mill men,
to install a system of water works for
Troy. At the mill northwest of town
are three excellent springs, from which
they believe an abundant supply of
pure water may be had. If the town
will give them a ten years franchise
they will install water mains, and at the
end of ten years sell the system to the
town. The boys have been expert
menting and haYe manufactured at the
mill wooden water mains made of dry
ramarack and by the installation of a
little machinery can manufacture the
necessary pipe here. "A reservoir would
be built near the water supply, and
from there would be brought to Troy, a
distance of a mile, through a four inch
main. If this proposition is accepted
they will obligate themselves to furnish
ample fire protection by early spring
1t is understood that the n. p. will assist
in this matter by contracting for water
to be supplied by this system.

After Water.

For the past two weeks the N. P.
Co. have had crew of twenty men
busily engaged improving their prop
erty at this point. Part of the crew
have been employed putting in cattle
guards and fixing fence between Troy
and Howell, and as manv as can be
conveniently used have been running
a tunnel into the hill on the south side
of the track a short distance above the
section house. Some water has al
ready been found. This work will be
pushed as long as there is any hope of
obtaining good supply. The com
pany must have water at this point and
will spare no expense until the extent
of the supply has been determined.
If the tunnel proves a failure other
plans will be adopted as water must be
had. The Company is now meeting
the emergency by shipping in water in
big tanks which are emptied into the
tank here.

Wind and Dust.

About O. clock Sunday evening the
air grew rather sultry and oppressive
suddenly to be followed by a wind
which quickly developed into a gale
carrying with it burden Of dust and
dirt so thick and binding that for a
time one could see only a few feet.
This lasted for some two hours and
left behind enough dirt to keep the
housewives of Troy busy house clean
ing for week to come. No damage
was done except that the merchants
were forced to do little house clean

even when the atmosphere is moving
freely at Moscow and places west, is

over the northwest, hit Troy at pret-

Tom Jones had been killed near
Princeton Saturday. 1t seems that
Jones was working with crew telling
trees on the new railroad right-of-way,
and was caught and fatally crushed by

known here further than that he worked
here during the spring and summer
cutting wood and clearing brush land,
and made his home at the Monroe
House. From a letter found in his
room since the tragedy, it has been

ate man lives in Colorado.

Lewis and Clark Fair News.

De Caprio's Administration band,
the Official musical organization of the
Lewis ane Clark Exposition is receiving
much praise. This band plays in con-
nection with all officials functions such
as receptions, dedications, conventions
and the like. Mr.. De Caprio has sur
rounded himself with musicians Of a
high order of merit, and as a band
master he is remarkably popular. The
band plays music of the classical kind.
The famous Mormon choir, from
Ogden, Utah, was feature of the Lewis
and Clark exposition entertainments the
past week. The choir gave several
concerts to large audiences in the
auditorium. There are 200 skilled
singers in this organization. Miss En-
ma Lucy Gates, the soprano soloist,
who is a granddaughter Of the late
Brigham Young, made great hit. She
is beautiful young woman and a
highly talented singer, aside from the
interest attaching to her ancestry.
Only six weeks more remain of the
Lewis and Clark exposition. The big
fair will close October IS. Nearly
every one who visits it goes home ad-
vising his friends to take advantage o
the opportunity to see this wonderful
exposition before it is too late. Wher
President Francis of the St. Loui:

rest of your life. You will begin re
gretting it as soon as the fair ha
closed its gates. This is the oppor

Made Money Farming.

Andrew P. Carlson expects to leave
for Portland in a few days to visit the
fair. Mr.. Carlson was in Troy Satur-
day, and said he had rented out his
American Ridge farm and would take
things easy for awhile. For twenty
years he has lived in Latah county,
during which time he has stuck to his
farm, and during the last few years
says he has been able to lay away a
little from the proceeds of his place.
He is thoroughly satisfied to keep his
land here just as an investment be-
cause he says he knows of no better
country in the world. 1t is the testi-
mony of men who, like Mr.. Carlson,
have given farming in the Potlatch
country practical test, that ought to
convince the prospective settler of the
real value of this great agricultural dis
trict. Men may doubt the statements
sent out by the real estate dealers;
they may express a doubt as to the
truth of western land promoters, but
they can't very well doubt testimony
such as Mr.. Carlson gives. The Pot
latch is the best agricultural district in
the world today and it will not be long
before whole lot of people will be
offering fancy prices trying to acquire
real estate it this part of Idaho.

Corn is Good.

An experiment has just been com

station farm, the result of which has

patch of ground was sown to corn.
The corn was cut later and the field
plowed and wheat planted. Professor
French informs US that the wheat
averages so bushels per acre.-Mos-
