Leaders ExtrtIng Themselves to
Have Measure Ratified
DEMOCRATS ARE OPPOSED
Senator cullom Makes Long Speech
Urging Ratification and Is Fre-
quently lnterrupted-Many
Senators Have Gone.

Washington, March 1s-The Senate
will do its utmost to complete the santo
Domingo treaty, ratify it, and adjourn
this week. This was manifested when
the treaty was taken up in executive ses-
sion today.
For more than an hour the senators
discussed ways and means. and finally
agreed to meet at IL a. M daily in order
to give time for full discussion Of the
measure. and still adjourn by Saturday.
1t is conceded that If the vote is delayed
beyond that time, a quorum Of the Sem
ate could not be maintained. With the
present number of absentees, and the un-
certainty as to the number that will re-
turn to vote, the fate of the treaty can
not be foretold.
Only one amendment was offered today.
That was presented by Senator Bacon.
and provided that such expenses of the
army and navy as may be incurred by
carrying out the provisions of the treaty
shall be paid from the revenues of Santo
Domingo. This amendment was pending
at the time the Senate adjourned, and
will be taken up tomorrow
The Bacon amendment ls to Article
or the treaty. which sets forth the classes
of expenses that will be paid from the
fifty-ive per cent. of the revenues re-
tanned by the United Staates for the
liquidation OF the Dominican debts.
Senator Morgan Objects.
Senator cullom moved to take up the
committee amendments In order. Senator
Morgan objected on the ground that the
chairman of the committee should explain
the provisions of the treaty TO the Sen
ate Senator Culom then made long
speech, in which he discussed the pro-
visions of the convention, and urged its
ratification. There We're a number of In
terruptions, but none of these showed the
temper of the Senate In regard to the rat
i1catlon or rejection of the treaty. They
were almost entirely devoted to seeking

Every Minute is Valuable.

supply TO his lew position ana preparing
for the next blow.
Every Minute Is Valuable.
To the Russian army every minute is
now valuable, and the footsore and dis
heartened detachments have been given
scarcely an hours rest before being set
at work improving the defenses Of Tie
Pass. 1t may be, however, that even now
they are being turned out of these posi-
tions.
Rumors are current that a wide east
ward hanking movement which was be-
gun before the battle, Is still in pro-
gress, and on the other side 1t is feared
columns are moving north of Fakoman to
take a position in the Russian rear.
General Kuropatkin still holds COM
mand. An officer of the general staff
said today that he will probably not re-
tire until some semblance of order has
been restored. The question of his sue
cessor Is still undetermined.
Food Supply Is Short.
There are indications that the food sup
ply at Tie Pass is none too large, inn
mense quantities having been burned at
Mukden, and Russian correspondents
telegraph they have had nothing to eat
for two days. The troops, however, are
admirably during the battle, and even at
the height of the fighting the soldiers re-
ceived warm food.
kilograms from the Russian side,
though inadequate as a basis for any
detailed estimate of the Russian losses,
show that they have been extremely
heavy, enough to cripple offensive oper-
atons for many months. General Kuro-
patkin admits that $1,000 wounded were
carried off, but says nothing as to how
many killed, wounded and prisoners were
left behind; and from his picture of a
little handful Of two officers and $50 men
of the Imperial Rifles marching off. led
by their gallant colonel, clinging to their
standard, can be derived some idea of
the losses sustained by the regiments
that bore the brunt of the fighting. The
exploit of the six hundred at Balaklava
pales beside this. Even the losses In
the "bloody angle OF the Wilderness
and in the battle of Antiteam are scarcely
comparable

on Verge of Peace.

Briefly, these were the reports cur
rent in the diplomatic corps today, and as
a result Of this important Information,
official Washington believes tonight that
Russia and Japan are on the verge of
peace. II it be true that the second Pa
cihc squadron has been recalled. even
the most optimistic of Russlas friends
admit that this is a strong indication
that Oyama's blow has made for peace.
Count cassini the Russian ambassa-
dor, is the notable exception in the group
of foreign ENJOYS here.
However generous the terms which
Japan might offer" the ambassador said
tonight, Russian prestige is not among
them. That Is one thing for which the
war will be fought to the end. Victory
Of the Russian arms will alone make for
peace. If not at Tie Pass. then at
Hardin; Russia viii assemble another
army mightier than the one before, and
with that army she will settle the issue
1t may be six months, year, perhaps
two years. Time will be no consldera-
tion."

Ed. Bradford, who formerly re
sided in this city and conducted a
sawmill on the mountain and who
moved TO Charleston, Wash, about
two years ago, sold his building
and two lots at that place last Fri
day for 1920 cash. The building
was two story brick 42x80 feet in
size, the lower floor being used for
a store and the upper for a hall
and lodge rooms. The building
was completed last spring and cost
about half the amount for which it

his property Mr.. Bradford pur-
chased another lot for $2500 and is

Publish The Laws.

The Genesee News hits the nail
on the head in the following article
regarding the disseminating of
the state laws. It says:
mo man in the state, better
than the country editor, knows the
annoyance and inconvenience Of
the present method Of disseminat-
ing the state laws-either those
now on our statute or new laws as
they are passed by the legislature
when in session. Any one wishing
to learn the provisions of certain
law is required to buy from the
state. And then the next legisla-
ture will probably knock it OUT"
Many case is brought into civil
courts because of ignorance of the
law governing the case at the start
ing of the controversy. But ig.
norance Of the law is no excuse in
either civil or criminal law. 1t
would be more to the point, how
ever, if the next Legislature would
pass a law SO that no one could
make a plea Of ignorance. In
Minnesota the session laws are
published in the newspapers OF the
state for the benefit Of the whole
people. We believe that Idaho
should do the same, paying there
for what is honest compensation
for the service, and no more"

by persons who have contemplated
a large irrigation scheme for the
country lying on the Lewiston fat
south Of the city. At the time the
negotiations were commenced by
Mr.. Thompson, Mr.. w. P. Hurlbut
and associates the purchase Of the
land in the district intended to be
irrigated was also taken up and at
the present time the purchasers
own about $500 acres of the most
valuable lands south of the city
and adjacent to the Snake river.
eve have purchased the lands
and water rights and have the
funds to develop them and the
lands near the city upon which we
will put the water" said Mr..
Thompson yesterday. "Our hold
ings immediately south of the city
and along the Snake river will ag-
gregate about $500 acres and we
have about 1900 acres more secured
by options that we expect to close
in a very short time. We will
then have a little M re than 1000
acres susceptible to irrigation and
expect to have the water on the
property before the close of the
year. We expect that the actual
construction of the pipe line will
commence in about go days and
under favorable conditions the
lire should be completed in SIX
months after the work starts. We
believe that the water flow brought
down in pipe line will be ade.
'quate to properly irrigate at least
10000 acres and after our own
holdings have been supplied we
will furnish water to other proper
ty located in the vicinity.
"The Waha project is now taken
out of the realm of speculation.
We haye eot the water, the ranch,
the property to irrigate and the
funds with which to carry out our
plans and the work of development
is soon to commence. The pipe
line will commence at a point on
the Flynn ranch about four miles
this side of the GODDARD house and
will be brought on an easy grade
to the Lewiston fat and the section
south of the city. We expect to
lay a 14-inch pipe and will carry
about 600 inches of water. We
also expect to have tract of land
that will be irrigated, plated with
in short time and will place the
same on the market next spring.
In our holdings is a large tract of
valuable land lying between the
bluffs and the Snake river between
Lewiston and AsOtin. This land.

Waha Project
To Nature
Mr.. Thompson, Of Lewiston, makes
the big Deal.
INVOLVES MUCH MONEY
Nearly 100000 paid for "Twenty-One'
Ranch and Water Rights.

The deal transferring the big
"Twenty -one' ranch with the ac-
companying water rights to &. w.
Thompson Of the Commercial
Trust company, by Mrs. Mary E.
GODDARD was completed yesterday
The transfer involves one of the
largest and oldest ranches in Idaho
and the water rights are of inesti-
mable value. The Twenty one"
ranch contalns 1925 acres Of till
able pasture lands and at the pres
ent time about 600 acres are under
irrigation by the ditch leading
from Waha Lake. The Twenty
one" ranch has been settled and
cultivated for more than 40 years
and the first water right was fled
AZ years ago. 1t was this right
with other privileges of more re-
cent filing that we're transferred
with the big acreage yesterday.
With the ranch was also transfer.
red the livestock, grain and farm
ing implements and the deal calls
for about $4,000. OF the vast
acreage Of 1925 acres more than
1900 acres are susceptible of high
state of cultivation and the farm
has been long regarded as the
most valuable in the inland EN-
pire. The most important feature
in the transfer aside from the
ranch itself is the water rights and
it is the purpose of the purchasers
to bring this water to their hold
ings adjoining the city on the
south and place that territory un-
der irrigation. This work will
commence at once and within
few months large tract Of land
will be plated and offered for sale
as fruit tracts.
During the past several years
Mrs. GODDARD has been engaged in
developing the water rights con
trolled by the filings and large
sums of money have been expended
each year in engineering work and
the construction of bitches. A
ditch about two miles in length
has been constructed from Sweet
water creek into Lake Waha which
is the main source of water supply
for the lake. bitches have also
been constructed onto the ranch
and at the present time there is
about three and one half miles of
main ditch which furnishes the
water supply for the farm irriga-
tion,
The deal closed yesterday has
been under consideration for the
past three years and several times
during that period the sale has
been all but made. The desirable
feature of the "TwentY-one' ranch
has always been the water rights
that are inseparable from the farm
as the outlet from the lakes is on
the ranch and the smaller Waha
lake and Mud lake are located on
the farm. The many applications
for the property during the past
few years show the appreciated
value OF the proposition and all Oi
the applications have been made
