TWO MILLIONS SET ASIDE.
Irrigation Works on Large Scale in
Idaho and Montana.

The Secretary of the Interior has setapart
81, 300. Goo from the reclamat ton fund for the
purpose of beginning operations In connec-
ton with the Payette Boise irrigation pro-
ject in Idaho and S1,000009 for the same
purpose IN connection with the Milk river
project in Montana. 1t is calculated that
10000 acres will be reclaimed in Idaho and
$4,000 in Montana and the ultimate cost
OF the two enterprises is fixed at 81, 000, 900
and S10O00.OO0, respectively.
An international question is involved in
the Milk river scheme, as portion of that
river from which it is proposed to divert
water lies in Canada and this matter the
President and President Hitchcock have
been giving personal consideration. Mlny
urgent petitions have come for relief from
the situation in the Milk river valley and
the Secretary of the Interior after confer
ence with the President has instructed Dr.
rector Wa1cott of the geological survey to
take immediate steps to carry into effect
the plans of the reclama ton service for
storing floods in st. Mary lake, diverting
the water of st. Marys river over into the
head Of Milk river and ultimately across
the headwaters of Milk river into the
Marias, and again out of the Marias back
into Milk river in Montana. thus creating
a great artiticially regulated system of
water supply south of the international
boundary. 1t is expected that construction
will be begun this season on the diversion
of st. Mary'S river into the headwaterS of
Milk river, allowing the water to flow for
time through Canada back into the United
States.

MYSTERIOUS ORDERS
NO vALIsEs Oh PACKAGES TO BE
TAKEN INTO WHITE HOUSE.

Most mysterious secret orders have been
put into effect among the policemen and
ushers at the White House. The cipher
messages of the prime minister of Eng
land are wide open compared to the manner
these Instructions are being kept in the
dark. At the same time they are being
carried out. The newspaper men of the
Conan Doyle process of news discovery and
the two secret service men have been onto
the game for several days The instruc-
tions concern the bringing into the White
House of valises. packages ard bundles o.
any kind that are carefully wrapped up.
Just who gave the orders has not been re-
yealed, no effort of the Conan Doyle type
having been made to discover the author;
but the fact that the instructions are con-
fined solely to policemen and ushers re-
veals the fact that they appear to have
been given by Chief Usher Stone. The Sc
cret service men are not concerned. They
have not got off their seats in the waiting
room while the new rule has been carefully
applied to a number of people, including
one representative. The rule is not in
tended to apply to senators or representa-
tives or to officials but when it was en-
forced yesterday upon Representative Pat
terson of Pennsylvania the policeman at
the door did not know who he was dealing
with and Mr.. Patterson did not bother to
inform him. Mr.. Patterson walked up to
the door of the executive offices with
valise in his hand. Before he had got
inside the policeman directed him to leave
the concern outside.
why, that is just a small valise that /
brought to town with l can't why
it should be left outside.
Il am sorry. sir, but my instructions are
that valises and bundles must not be
brought inside
Cant l leave it just inside the door
while l go in to see the Presdent?''
II should like to accommodate you, sir,
but the valise must be left outside.
Mr.. Patterson finally consented. although
he did not like TO do
Two or three other people have been turned
down in the same way in the last few days.
1t is regarded as certain that Chief Usher
Stone has concluded that some one may
carry dangerous things to the executive
offices in bundles and all cops are instruct
ed to let nothing that is wrapped up pass
into the building.

Conditions in Washington.
A RAISED BILL.
Case Now Laid Before Secretary Hitch
cock for Action.

A Waterman named Martin. employed in
the pension office, was a few days ago
handed two s. bills and what he thought
was a $40 bill by messenger in the same
office named Clews. On looking at the sup
posed SO bill Martin found that it was a
81 bill that had clumsily been raised TO a
$40 by the addition of cipher TO the figure
l. The job poorly done that 1t was
easily recognized. Martin reported the
matter to one of his chiefs, who called the
attention of Chief Wilkie of the Secret
Service to the matter. Chief Wilkie had
Clews before him and the latter declared
that he had received the bill in change at
one of two places, he did not know which
He said that he had gotten SO bill
changed at one place and money changed
at another. The secret service officers
made inquiries at both places. one place
was saloon and the proprietor said he re-
membered changing the $40 bills for Clews.
but could not remember that he had given
him any bill of the description that had
been passed. The other man, a contractor,
did not remember whether he had changed
money for Clews or not. The case was a
somewhat peculiar one. Chief Wilkie seems
to think that Clews was really ignorant
that the bill had been raised, but has laid
the matter before Secretary Hitchcock for
whatever action he sees fit to take.

DISMISSED THE COMPLAINT.
Decision in a Case Against the Penn
sylvania Railroad

The interstate commerce commission, in
an opinion by Commissioner Clements, has
dismissed the complaint in the case of
Charles a. Thompson against the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company. growing out
of rule adopted by the defendant COM
pany in the matter of furnishing cars for
the transportation of coal during the anth-
racite coal strike.
The commission holds that the defendant
company's temporary rule in combining its
comparatively few available cars to mines
generally in operation. where quick loading
could be accomplished. and declining to per-
nit its sidings and switches to be further
congested oy loading coal from wabons,
congested by loading coal from wagons
culated to hasten rather than retard the
movement of coal for public use and was
not unreasonable unjust.
No opinion is expressed upon the point
whether a railroad may discriminate in
furnishing cars as between the methods of
loading by tipple and wagon.

WHOLE CONSIGNMENT REJECTED,
Five Hundred Life Preservers That
Were Below the Standard.

A consignment of five hundred life pre-
servers has been rejected by an inspector
of the steamboat inspection service at New
Orleans. The life preservers, manufactured
by a New York concern, were shipped to
a firm in New Orleans. An intimation
reached the inspector that the preservers
were not constructed in accordance with
the regulations of the steamboat inspec-
ton service. On their arrived at New Or
leans he examined them and rejected the
entire lot. They were fiimsily constructed
and sewed with No. 60 cotton thread. In no
substantial respect did they meet the re-
qurements of the regulations and the in
spector had no hesitation in condemning
them. AS the life preservers were not act
ually in use, the government cannot pro-
coed In law against the manufacturers.
