Il POWER IN POLITICS.
The French MOther-in-LazC Has Be
come National Issue.
Paris, October II.

Paris, OCTOBER II.
Long before the days of Moliere mothers-in-
law supplied ample material for successful farce,
but it was reserved for the mother-in-law of the
sub-prefect of Joigny to vndcate the power of
the mother-in-law in politics. This would be
impossible elsewhere than in France, where
mothers-in-law enjoy greater social and legal
privileges than are accorded them in any other
country. AS an object lesson of the practical
working of administrative methods the sub
project of Joiguy's domestic troubles, which
have now been ventilated in all the newspapers
of the land are worth noting. The facts are
these The sub-prefect of Joigny. who is ad-
ary although possessed of quick temper, re-
sided on the banks of the Yonne. In moment
of irritation he struck his wife, and at the insti-
CATION of his mother-in-law the wife of Sen
ator NJ Rivet he has been suspended from Of
fee by the Minister of the Interior. This oc-
currence elicits the approval of Conservatives
and the condemnation of Radicals, who claim
that the government has no right to Interfere
with the private matters of the household of
functionary and the affair has brought about
a general discussion of the French mother-ln-
law Nowhere is the parents authority so I'M
questioned and so absolute as it is here. An
enormous percentage of Frenchmen pass from
the tuteIase of their own mothers to that of
their nothers-in -law, who frequently make their
home with a married daughter, and rule thence

MiIIet in Central Washington.

Last season Mr.. r. N. Reed, of Sun
nyside, Wash, had three and half
acres of ground in millet. He sowed it
with alfalfa on new ground and 1t
turned out to be an excellent success.
There has been doubt in the minds of
many farmers that millet would be a
success in the section in which Mr..
Reed lives, but he says his plot grew
TO perfection and made excellent hay,
especially for COWS. 1t can be sown
at any time up to the first of July,
and may be cut for hay as soon as the
heads begin to fill. That it grows to
a great height and has plenty of stalks
is proven by the illustration reproduce
ed here, showing how the millet was
cut at Mr.. Reeds ranch.

Many Railroads to be Built.

Rumors of new lines of railroad here
and there in the Pacific northwest have
been flying thick and fast the past few
weeks. and if even one of the pro-
iects mentioned materializes it will be
ground for congratulation. One OF the
most persistent rumors is that roao
is to be built from Spokane to Belling-
ham, to be ready for traffic within TWO
years, and back of this is the state
ment that the Chicago, Milwaukee &

st. Paul is the company that will use
the line. 1t is well known that for
over two years past this road has been
seeking line from it's western ter
minus in South Dakota to the coast,
and its surveyors have been at work
at different points between the South
Dakota point and Spokane. The route
from Spokane to Bellingham appears
to be the most feasible for the st. Paul
road to reach the coast, whoever may
build the local line. 1t is said that D..
G. Corbin, of Spokane, is preparing to
grade the line and lay the steel this
summer, but nothing is said as to his
working for the st. Paul people. II

the line is built as proposed it will tap
a very rich agricultural and mineral
region and should be a paying one
from the start.
Another line that seems assured Is a
Northern Pacific branch between
Lewiston and Grangeville, Idaho-a
line that will pass through very rich
agricultural and stock country. The
lands of the Waha region and the
Camas prairie will be tapped. The
Northern Pacific has four prospective
routes laid out through this country
and it only remains for the engineers
to say which one will be chosen. 1t Is
stated positively that the road will be

canal at this point, 40 feet in width
and "a feet in height, approximately
700 cubic yards masonry, at $500, max
ing $4,000. Total cost of construction,
estimated: Work On power canal,
$113,S00 add cost of machinery and
pipe line connection to irrigation ditch,
$16,000-total, $129,800.
This plant, when completed, will
furnish approximately 100 horsepower
at extreme low water stage, taking
stated fall from intake to discharge

lieve they have total fall of more

able horse power will pump Ia cubic
feet per second to ditch level, IA feet
above power canal.
Size Of complete irrigation ditch. as
shown by slope and finish stakes set,
is feet wide OF. bottom side slopes
ditch bottom. Assuming an extreme
grade of 112 feet per mile, this size
ditch would have a carrying capacity
of 40 cubic feet per second, or suffi-
cient water for 1920 acres, providing
power canal and pumping plant were
enlarged to three times it's present ca
pacity.
In explanation will state: That no
provision whatever has been made in
dicating any intention on the part OF
present company ever charging power
canal or wheel pit, the cost OF which
would be more than double that OF
original excavation.
General Remarks: Not more than
two-thirds of the earth work has been
done on power canal and practically
none of the rock worn.
No concrete work has been put in,
only an excavation 10 feet deep by 80
feet square in the gravel at the lower
end of canal. There was no indica-
ton of any solid bed rock, only loose
gravel and boulderS in bottom OF pit
as excavated, but owing to seepage
of water and difficulty of pumping out
the pit engineer in charge stated they
intended to lay concrete on present bot
tom without sinking to bed rock.
Work Of grading power canal was
commenced about January LIST, 1905.
Not more than 1000 feet of main ir-
rigation ditch has been completed.
| would estimate that it would re-
quire more than six months from date,
with much larger force than is now
employed, to complete the work now
under construction, providing they
have no high water this year in the
Snake or Columbia Rivers.
The present level of Snake River is
Is feet below last years high water
mark. Ordinary or average high wa
ter stage would delay their work at
least 80 days, besides doing large
amount of damage to the unfinished
section Of work now opened up.
