ment to undertake. After the first ex-
aminations were made the people of
the state were led to suppose that the
prospects of irrigation by the govern
ment were excellent, and it is only a
few months ago that leading officers
of the reclamation service declared
that there was only one obstacle in
the way.
This obstacle was not one of engi-
neering. 1t was declared that the gov
eminent was ready to go ahead as
cation should remove it's tracks from
| the Wasntucna coulee, which was the
site of the main reservoir for the pro-
posed irrigation works.
Early last spring, however, it was
reluctantly admitted at headquarters
of the reclamation service that there
| was also a serious engineering obsta
Gle in the way. It was explained that
| the geologic formation was such as to
make it doubtful whether the pro-
posed reservoir would retain water
and whether fatal seepage would not
occur along the lines of the canals.
congressman Complain.
1t was said further that the govern
ment proposed to make a further in
vestigation with view of determin-
ing beyond any doubt the practicable
ty of the Palouse scheme. That inves-
tigation has now proceeded to such
stage that the government feels justi-
fled in believing that the cost of the
proposed irrigation works would be not
less than $50 an acre, and this figure
is regarded as prohibitive.
A private irrigation company would
certainly be willing to undertake pro-
jects where the cost promised to be
more than $35 an acre, or even more
than $50 an acre, although $35 is about
the limit which the government SER
vice is willing to undertake.
The political phase of federal irri-
cation in the state of Washington
promises some interesting develop
ments. There is no doubt that the
state delegation in congress will be
heard from in loud tone next winter;
in fact, two of the members of the
delegation have already let the Off
Gals here know how impatient they
are that a state which has paid enor-
nous sums into the federal reclama-
ton fund has failed so far to secure
the approval Of a single project.

Not Much Hope for Ys.kima.

There is not much hope for the va
kima project at present Since the
Washington Irrigation company amaz-
ed the interior department and the
people of the state by it's ludicrous
offer to sell it's works to the govern
ment at a more than prohibitive price
the officers of the federal reclamation
service here have for the time being
almost ceased to consider the Yakima
scheme at all.
The Washington company's offer
was, in effect, a proposal that the gov
eminent should pay the company a
good price for the privilege of water
ing the company's own lands. 1t is
claimed by the federal officers that a
sincere effort was being made to &C
quire the necessary rights in the va
kima valley, and that under these cir
cumstances the absurd proposal of the
Washington Irrigation company is dis
0edrtenlng.
AS the matter stands at present, and
making no allowances for a possible
unexpected shifting of conditions
there is no prospect of federal irri
cation in Washington in the near fu-
ture, unless it is possibly in the Okla
negan country. The Okanogan scheme
is an important one, but it is very
small The latest estimate Of the re-
clamation service is that the cost
would be $45 per acre, and only the
persistence Of the citizens, backed by
members of the state delegation in
congress, prevented the abandonment
of the project on the score of alleged
excessive cost.

Royal Arcanum Meeting.

DETROIT, Mich, July 1S.-A con-
vention of Royal Arcanum councils
throughout Michigan is in session here
today to consider the recently an
nounced changes in the orders insur-
ance rates. The advance in rates has
aroused deep feeling among the men,
bers in this state and it is likely that
vigorous protest will be sent to ths

Sullivan Did It.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 1S.-Kid
Sullivan Internationally knocked out
an Olympic club boxer with whom he
was sparring yesterday and gave an
excellent demonstration that he has a
wallop which is deadly. The boys had
on heavy eight-ounce gloves, with
which it was thought no damage of
any account could be DONE and Sulli-
van, who is naturally rough and strong
in his boxing, went at his opponent a
little harder than he intended to, and
before the crowd knew what had hap
pened he mad landed a short-arm jab
with his right that landed clean on
the others jaw. 1t was a clean knock
out, and the boy dropped to the floor
as if he had been struck by bullet.
1t took some time to restore him to
consciousness. Sullivan was using
one of Cans short-arm punches and
did not know how hard he was hit
ting. Sullivan is a hard man for a
sparring partner and two have left the
camp already.

SHE PLEASED ENIPoRIA.
Alice Nielsen Given an ovation by the
Music Lovers.

Emporia. Kan. Dec. 11.-Emporia is
indebted to the department of music of
the State Normal school for its first
italian opera and it has resulted in a
conlmotion that will probably result in
quite a crowd gcing to Topeka Tues
day evening to hear Alice Nielsen at the
Grand opera house, as her praises are
on the lips of everybody who was for
tunate enough to hear her Saturday ev-
enine.
Alice Nielsen received an ovation
here. She was encored and repeatedly
encored, being called back three times
after the second act. At the end of
the opera which was Don Pasquale,
the same she VIII sing at Topeka, she
was requested to sing something in
English and complied by rendering
Tostrs Good Bye" in such beautiful
manner that the audience was wild
with delight and utterly refused to
leave their seats until she favored them
with another English selection, which
curtain three times. she complied with
by giving Coming Through the Rye"

Coal Famine Threatened il
Smaller Cities Of State.
This Is Because of Heavy Traffi,
on the Railways.
CAR SHORTAGE ALSO.
Cold Snap Would Show That
Operators Have Been Mapping.
Gossip and Matters of Interest
in Railroad Circles.

Because Of the shortage of coal cars
which is general ON all of the roads
and the fact that most of the railroads
nave about twice as much business than
they are equipped to handle at this time
OF the Year, the coal situation is a little
preearious. A good many of the smaller
cities and towns in this State and sur
rounding territory stand Il chance Of
suffering il cold weather of long dura-
ton should come
In Kansas tSxes are payable now With
small rebate if they are paid before
December 20. In Missouri there is a pen
atty if they are not paid by December
81. In both states the farmers must
turn property amounting to several
million dollars into cash for taxes. Even
farmers of considera Bile means sell corn,
wheat or hogs to pay taxes. and the
poorer farmers always depend on sell
ing something just before tax-paying
time. The need of money for Christmas
adds to the rush of farm products to
market. All of this builds up a big bus
mess for the railroads and loads more
handle.
Accordingly motive power that could
be used by the roads in hauling coal is
at present diverted to the traffic fur
nished by the farmers, and the unusual
ly pleasant weather Of the last few
weeks has made the coal dealers and the
railroads a trifle care less in moving the
winter supply Of coal Then again coal
freight rates are low compared to the
rates ON grain and live stock, so that an
engine and train crew will earn as much
for a railroad in one day hauling farm
products as they Will in two days haul
ing coal, so the roads naturally take
care of the farm produc.e in preference
to coal.
For this reason there is an actual
shortage of coal. in a good many of the
smaller towns and cities in Kansas and
should a severe cold snap come the coal
operators and the railroad superintend-
ents would be sitting up nights figuring
how sufficient supply of coal could be
moved.

nor no CUT oUr FREE PASSES
Western Presidents Are Not Willing
Now to Stop Them.

Chicago, Dec. 11.-PTesidents of west
ern railroads have not yet reached q
point where they are willing to stop all
free transportation for politicians and
others whom they think can be useful
to them. Nor Will the road running
from here to Pittsburg and Buffalo fol-
low the example Of the Pennsylvania di-
vision.
Railroad presidents do not like to be
quoted on the subject of passes; first,
because they do not want to admit that
passes are given, and then because they
do not want to offend the politicians.
The question is one only mentioned on
the quiet But railroad officials here
say that no action has been taken to re-
duce the number Of passes issued, Tor
is such action contemplated.
The issuance of passes between TIE
western roads is regulated by the execu-
tive officers pass agreement, which has
been in effect foI six years. Other free
transportation, not given to secure bust
ness, is regulated by the roads -nefn-
selves.
No such sweeping change as that II
augurated by the Pennsylvania. would
be possible here without conference
of the presidents, resulting in common
action by all the roads. Several Presl-
dents sail yesterday that there was
small chance of such a conference being
held.
The free transportation issued by the
Chicago roads is said to be no larger
than can be taken care of in the regular
cars without additional equipment or
additional expense.

MovING FREIGHT YARps.
Big Improvement to Santa F7e Propert,
at AIbuquerque Under WAY.

at Albuquerque Under Way.
Albuquerque, N. NJ, Dec. 1.-THE
freight yards of the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa F'e Railway company are to be
moved far south from their present loca-
tion and the nuisance Of switching
across Railroad avenue is to be done
away with. Work on this big change
has already begun, Il force of men hav-
ing been detailed on the preliminary
work last week and this force was aug
nented by big gang today, VINO went
at the work of changing the tracks and
this work is to be completed as speedily
as possible without interfering too ser
iously with the shifting Of cars in the
yards.
James f. Hurley, general manager of
the road, and r. J. Parker, suDerintend-
ent of the western i;vision, were here
on Friday and Saturday TO supervise
the beginning of the work.
1t is the intention to move the main
freight yards south of the watec tank
and the main line is to be double tracked
as far north as the brewery. -Four
tracks are to remain opposite the Al
Varado and Santa Fe station, exclusive
ly for passenger trains. South of the
shops the tracks are to be elevated eigh-
teen inches all the way TO the stock
yards.
The improvement which will require
the expenditure of a great deal Of
money will be one of the best changes
which has been made by the Santa Fe
in Albuuuerque since the beautiful Al
varado and the present station were
erected.
The change that will be most appreci-
ated by the people of the city Will be
the abating of the nuisance of switching
across the Railroad avenue crossing
With the present arrangement of tracks
it has been very difficult for the rail-
way employees to keep from obstructing
traffic more or less at all hours a. the
day and frequently travel UP and down
the city's main thoroughfare has been
seriously embarrassed thereby. The
crossing has long been q menace to the
safety of the public although there
have been remarkably few accidents.
The removal of the freight switching
from the crossing will add greatly to the
appearance Of Railroad avenue and eE-
hance the value Of property in that
vicinity.
This is but one step, however, in the
program of improvements laid out by
the company for the Santa Fe proper
ties at tn ) point.
The appropriation for the enlargement
of the big shops and the subsequent in
crease in equipment is one of the big
gest items in the big budget for better
lnents on the Atchison in the southwest.
After the change in the local trackage
other changes are expected to follow
fast. They include a large new all steel
water tank. new ice houses, a handsome
new reading room and library building
and others too numerous to mention.

ORIENT ROUTE LOCATED.
Engineers Complete Final Survey to
Pacific Coast.

Kansas City. Mo. Dec. 11.-Word
has been received at the offices of the
Kansas City. Mexico & Orient Railway
company that the engineers having
completed the location of the line from
Minaca in Chihuahua, to TopOlobdm-
po. On the Pacific coast. have returned
to the city of Chihuahua. Between
Tascates and Clene guild alternate
lines have been located on the two
sides of the mountains. Otherwise the
survey is anal.
The distance between Topolobampo
and Minaca is $50 kilometers. From
the former point 130 l1ilometers have
been built and from the latter point
S. kilcmeters have been built west
ward. A large force of men is working
on the construction and fair progress
is being made.
The mazimum grade reached is in
