New York, Aug. An. Witte and
Baron Rosen reached the St. Regis no.
tel on their return from Oyster Bay
at quarter after 6. NJ. Witte made
the following statement about the i'm
preston he had received of the Presi-
dent on this, the first time he had seen
him:
Il have conceived the highest opin-
ion of Mr.. Roosevelt. | was particu-
larly strucN by his energy and broad
mindedness. / feel it is good for the
United States to have so distinguished
man at the head of its executive, and
/ fully appreciate the reasons that led
TO the choice of him for so responsible
and honorable a post. l do not say
this with any desire to fiatter the
President or the American people. 1t
is my sincere conviction"

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS.
Wonderfully Efficient American News
paper Orqanization.

In the interview which NJ. Witte.
the senior Russian peace plenipoten-
tiary, accorded to the Associated Press
representative in St. Petersburg Mon
day. and which was published in full
in the Gazette yesterday morning. was
this significant statement:
IN according the honor of an inter
view NJ. Witte said he expressly de
sired it stated that he had declined all
previous requests of journalists for
interviews. and would decline all fu-
ture requests. He further said that
he had made an exception in the case
of the Associated Press, as it was the
representative OF the press of the
United States"
This recognition of the peculiar posi-
tion of the Associated Press by the
foremost Russian statesman of to-day
is not extraordinary, for this great
gathering bureau has repeatedly
received similar recognition from
many of the greatest men In Europe
including the Gear. the Kaiser. the
King of Italy and the President of
France. Through the efforts of Mel.
vile E. Stone, general manager of the
Associated Press. the Gar issued or
ders which made possible for the first
time the gathering and transmission
of complete reports of Russian affairs
This was done just before the begin
ning OF the present war. and the re
suit has been of vast benefit to the
world in acquainting it with true con-
ditions, both in Russia and at the
front
The war in the Far East has splen-
didly demonstrated the superiority OF
the Associated Press news service to
all other agencies in the world Sew
eral of the great London and New
York dailies have kept special CORE
spondents in the field at enormous ex-
pense. but the real news has come
from the "A. p" men.-Colorado

FEAR FOR NIAGARA
IMMENSE VOLUME OF WATER
DIVERTED FROM FALLS.
Commercial Enterprises are Making
Heavy Drains on This Famous Show
Place-lts Tremendous Electrical
Power the lnducement.

Niagara Falls. August THE
volume of water being diverted
from the historic Niagara Falls is
reaching such proportions that the
people Of the State are trying to pass
laws which will prevent the possibil-
ity of a practical wiping out of this
sublime natural spectacle.
Water sufficient to develop nearly
five hundred thousand horsepower
continuously, twenty-four hours per
day, for industrial purposes, Is now
being taken from the river above the
Falls, and further developments re-
quiring more water are contemplated.
Probably the largest user of the
electricity produced by the waters of
the mighty river is the concern which
by the five or six thousand degree
heat of the electric furnace brings
lime and coke into unwilling union,
thereby producing what is known as
Calcium Carbide.
Dry calcium carbide is lifeless as
so much broken rock, but in contact
with water it springs into activity and
begets abundantly the gas Acetylene-
The light resulting from the ignition
of acetylene is the nearest approach
to sunlight known.
These facts, though of compara-
lively recent discovery, were soon
seized by men with an eye to the com
mercial possibilities and to-day cal
cium carbide is being shipped every
where and used for dispelling dark
ness in buildings of all descriptions,
from the ordinary barn Of the farmer
to the country villa of the wealthy, as
well as for lighting the streets OF
large number of towns. Acetylene
can be easily and cheaply installed.
and the manufacture and sale of
acetylene generators has become
business of recognized standing. has
assumed large proportions and is
steadily growing.

Fewer Land Seekers,

Denver, Aug. 5.-GraIfd Junction is
leading in registration now for the
uintah land drawing, a heavy decrease
being reported from Provo. At Grand
Junction yesterday 1872 persons were
registered. About 800 people arrived
there during the day. all of whom were
registered before the Office closed.
Many of those who register are going
TO the reservation to see the land.
1t Is evident that no attention will
be paid TO the adverse criticism of
Commissioner Richards, who has
aroused some feeling, according to re-
port. The Governor Cutler petition from
Salt Lake asking that a registration
Office be located there will not be
granted. because Commissioner Rich
ards advised against such action.
