We Are Waiting.

A Tacoma, Wash, man who does
not wish his name to be connected
with certain railroad Investigations,
is in Sioux City with the idea of
watching the movements Of the Mil
waukee as related to a possible ex-
tension to the Pacific coast. He says
he is firmly convinced that the road
has already made arrangements to
extend its line to the coast and that
the extension will be made within
the next two years.
The Investigators suspicious we're
aroused some time ago by the mys.
FERROUS sale of some Tacoma land
excellently adapted for railroed ter
minals, He is convinced that the
Milwaukee railroad is the real pur-
chaser and that the land will be the
site for terminals Of that road. He
has been in st. Paul, Minneapolis
and Chicago, making inquiries rela-
tive to the plans of the Milwaukee,
and everywhere, he says, be finds
confirmation of his suspicious that
the Milwaukee proposes going to the
coast.

Report Of Irrigation Congress.

Following is a synopsis of the re-
port of the executive committee of
the national irrigation congress held
in Portland, including in substance
the more important resolutions:
Endorsement of statehood for the
territories of New Mexico and joint
statehood of Oklahoma and Indian
Territory.
The congress believes too much
capital, public and private, cannot
be invested in reclamation of the arid
lands and therefore declares the gov
eminent should not necessarily inter-
fere with or prevent private enter
prise from building reservoirs and
other works for retaining arid
lands.
In order to encourage the beet
sugar production in the United States
the congress asserts its opposition to
granting further concessions to trop-
zeal islands.
The congress favors early reclaim
alton of small tracts of land, when
ever the cost per acre Of reclamation
does not exceed the cost per acre of
larger enterprises Of similar charac-
ter.
The federal congress is urged to
enact such laws as will enable the ma
tional government to exercise rights
of eminent domain when necessary
to carry out the purpose of the nat
ional irrigation law.
The congress indorses the effective
and ~businesslike administration of
the agricultural department, weather
and forestry bureau for their efici-
ent work in the reclamation service
and its representatives cooperate
with state officers in matters affect
ing states landed interests.

Passing of Old Landmarks.

For the past several weeks work
men have been engaged in tearing
out the old wood chute leading from
the top of the hill to the mills. This
will be finished in a few days and
the last of what has been a great
industry will have disappeared.
For years the Homestake company
used wood for fuel at the different
mills and hoists. At one time there
were three chutes, one leading to the
Star hoist, one to the Old Abe hoist
and another to the mills. The first
done away with was the one to the
Star hoist and a coal chute was put
in across the gulch and west of the
hoist.
The caving of the railway grade
near the Highland hoist necessitated
the abandonment of the others. An
other coal bin was put in near the
Ellison hoist and coal is hauled on
the tramway.
For years and years thousands of
cords of wood were piled near the
mills, and n of the most expensive
accidents in the history of the COM
pany happened some fourteen years
ago when a fire was started in which
was termed the "woodpile" and it
ragged for several days threatening
to destroy the mills. With the aid
of nearly every fire department in
the Northern Hills the flames were
finally eXtinguished.
The old wood chutes always pos
sessed a fascination for eastern tour
lists and many have stood for an hour
at a time watching the pieces of tim
Der chase each other down the steep
incline and be thrown high in the
air to the woodpile. At the present
time the company is using coal ex
clusively as fuel.---Lead Register.
