ORDERS GIVEN
Carson Sink Project Must Be
Rushed to Completion
in Order That 100000 Acres Can
Be Thrown Open Next Year to
HOmesteaders.

Washington, Feb. 81. H. Taylor,
the engineer in charge of the True
keel Carson irrigation project, has been
here a few days and has desk 10 the
reclamation bureau. 81 have come to
get in touch with the main Office" !"
said Mr.. Taylor today, land probably
shall remain about zen days. About
the only thing new that has been de-
termined since | arrived is that the
work on the main project is to be
rushed to completion, so that there
shall be about 100000 acres ready
for irrigation in 1907. According to
our previous plans, this main project
was not to be completed till in 1908.
I'VE have money enough for that
work. said Mr.. Taylor. Il have been
looking up some matters with pefer-
ence to the Walker river and Hum
boldt projects but there is no pros
pect of any work being undertaken
there for some time, simply because
the government has no money to
spend there"
MIR. Taylor has been busy ever since
be arrived, as there are many items
of information regarding the work of
the reclamation bureau, and regard
ing it's policies, that he wishes to ac-
quire during his stay in Washington.

The 'ToH House, situated about
IL miles north of Winnemucea, was

minutes; between Carlin and Ogden, a
distance of 249 miles, 4 hours and 81
minutes: between Ogden and Salt
Lake, distance of Sc miles, 81 min
utes. The entire distance is 575
miles. The train was pulled out of
Sparks by engine No 1904, which was
selected because it was in perfect re-
pair. Engineer Geo Blaisaell was at
the throttle and Fireman Warren and
G. P. Devine looked after the fires.
The coal was especially selected, and
prepared and loaded by hand.
The Operators at Lovelock had re-
ceived the schedule the night before.
This point was the first stop out from
Sparks. The train was 13 minutes
behind schedule here but had cut that
down to 6 minutes at Winnemucca
and was only 8 minutes behind sched-
ule on reaching Carlin. Engineer
Blaisdel is one of the oldest men on
the road and knows every foot of the
track like book He can get all the
speed there is in an engine, and in
this case demonstrated that the S. P's
iron horses are not so slow.
The run was made not merely as
record-hreaker, but on what the off,
GERS consider nerfeetly safe schedule.
Around Palisades and other points of
the road the train was slowed down to
a perfectly safe speed.
On certain stretches of the road be-
tween Sparks and Carlin 78 miles per
hour was made and the last 36 miles
between Ogden and Salt Lake were
made in 35 minutes. No stop was
made at Ogden Two stops were
made between Sparks AMI Carlin.

compete with the Santa Fe in getting

great point at issue in this contest is
speed, the road that makes the best

Up to last week the Santa Fe had
beaten this road by about two hours,
but the Hartman officials are not
willing to acknowledge defeat, with
out making a desperate effort to re-
duce their running time.
Accordingly the officials over the
Sparks-Q Ogden division determined to
show the public and the employees as

special train was made up in Sparks
Monday morning to make the test run.
This train had the special cars of

PRODUCTION of universal chaos and
loot. We do not charge this to the
socialists though Debs pretends to
be socialist. 1t is another school,
the school Of universal plunderers,
the anarchists who are preaching
that their day is swiftly coming
and that it will open with universal
robbery and close in a wild debauch
Of anarchy. And these mis,reants
steal the honored title of labor men
and pretend to belong to that order
of society, though there is no other
thought so terrible to them as that
of being obliged to earn the bread
they eat by honest labor. The hope
is that dumb workingmen will
learn to estimate these incendiaries
at their real worth and repudiate
them, for when men seek the over
throw Of the free institutions of
this country their crime is not on
ly treason against this government,
but against the hopes of the earth.

The Infamous Debs,

The Worker, of New York, pub
fishes Eugene V. Debs' welcome to
Maxim Gorky.
1t is appalling, not the welcome
to Gorky, but the spirit that runs
through the article. To read it a
stranger would imagine that there
was just as much tyranny, just as
much oppression of the poor in the
United States as in Russia.
Then all through, the relations
of Gorky with the mistress he
brought with him are treated as
just and right relations and in
tinitely purer than the marriages
of rich Americans. The whole ar
ticle is revolving in its denuncia-
tions of decent society and the
usages of civilized men and women.
The startling part is that Debs is
the mouthpiece of increasing thou
sands in this land who, night and
day, are planning the overthrow OF
all order and all law, and the in

clear. No reputation of the STRIFE
lures made upon him by Senator
Tillman and others could be more
complete or conclusive.
The president emphasizes the
position he has taken from the
outset, that, though deeply in
terested and very much in earnest
in his desire to have a bill passed
that will remedy the known
transportation evils, he has no
intention of presuming to dictate
to the senate. He stands for the
people in the great fight that is
now being waged, and his chief
concern is that a measure may
be passed that will conserve the
interests Of the people. In his
eagerness to see this accomplish
ed he has exercised a privilege
and a right by calling into con-
ference the leaders in the senate
and letting his views be known.
Everybody who knows any
thing of President Roosevelt can
readily understand that heis not
the man to leave his meaning
clouded or to say one thing and
mean another. Except, there
fore, by biased partizans, there
will be a prompt willingness to
accept his statement that Sin no
case, either in the case of Mr..
Chandler, or any one else, was
there the slightest opportunity
for any misconception of my at
Uitude or any belief that | pledged
myself specifically to one and on
ly one amendment or set of
amendments"
His denial, also, that he ever
said to Mr.. Chandler, or to any
one else, that he should insist
upon having certain amendments
or notifications in the bill as a
condition Of his approval can be
taken literally and without ques-
ton. 1t will effectually dispose
of the imputation sought to be
cast by Senator Bailey that the
president had given him or any
one else the "double cross"
That the president is making
use of the influence which his po-
sition gives him in behalf Of pub
lie interests in the rate bill will
not be questioned, but that he is
doing SO only to a perfectly iusti-
fable extent and in a manner en-
tirely consistent with the dignity
attaching to the presidency is
made clearly apparent in his let
ter to Senator Allison.

during recent years 1T has been
perfectly plain that there is no
issue involved in the prosecution
Of Meyer, Haywood, Pettibone
and Orchard, except that of the
enforcement of the law and the
punishment of crime. Sufficient
ground was discovered to war
rant their Indictment for the
murder of Frank Steunenberg,
and no questions were asked as
to what positions they held in
the federation. 1t would have
been just the same if they had
been officers of a state or of the
United States. No man, what
ever may be his station, is ex-
empt from punishment if he COM
mits a crime; neither is he exempt
from prosecution if a grand Jury
finds sufficient evidence against
him to justify an Indictment.
In this respect these men are be-
ing subjected to no indignity. Ii
they are guilty they will be pun
ished. Ii they are innocent they
will be acquitted. Ii they are in
nocent they will have no greater
cause to complain than other in
nocent men who have been so
unfortunate as to be charged
with a crime.
But the partisans Of these men
are doing more than any enemies
that Meyer, Haywood and Petit
bone have to convince the public
that the charges of malicious
prosecution and persecution are
totally false. In some recent
meetings held by sympathizers
with the accused, the red flag has
been displayed, and the meetings
have manifested the character
istics Of the regular anarchist
gatherings, with men in the fore
front who are opposed to all law.
This is not surprising, for the
spirit of the Moyer-H Haywood
Pettibone combine has for years
been that of defiance to the law
whenever they were in a position
to take that stand safely. But
this open Identification of the
red-mouthed anarchists all over
the country with the defense of
the accused will serve to show
such people as need to be shown
lust what the situation is. 1t is
not aquestion Of anybody's right
to belong to union. 1t is sim
ply a question of hunting down
assassins, and ofusing the means
ordained therefor by law. 1t is
a question of prosecuting men
who are believed to be guilty, at
the same time protecting them
in every right guaranteed them
by law.
These are the matters at issue
in this case, and it is to be hoped
that those in authority will leave
no stone unturned to punish
every man who is guilty and end
forever the work Of the assassin
in Idaho.

1t is our painful duty this week
to chronicle the accidental death OF
George Smith. a farmer residing
three miles south of Mapleton. On
Thursday afternoon of last week he
was cleaning the dirt and rubbish out
of cave that he had Just finished
repairing by replacing the old cover
ing of boards and earth. The whole
top had been made new, except the
ridge pole, which was heavy tim
Der thought to be Of ample strength.
and covered with about four feet of
dirt. He was cleaning out the litter
that had fallen through, when the
ridge pole gave way about foot from
one end, letting the entire mass of
earth down onto him crushing him
completely. 1t is thought he was
killed instantly by the blow. He had
not been away from the house long
when he was missed and upon turning
to the fallen cave his perdicament
was seen at once by his wife and
children. A neighbor who came at
this time, ran for help. while the
woman went to digging with might
and main and had almost reached the
body when assistance came. life of
course was extinct when the body was
taken out. and although a physician
was soon upon the scene there was
nothing that could be done. -Mapleton

TROOPS PLAN TO AWE INDIANS
Hope to Secure Surrender of utes
Without Rloodshed.

Arvada, Wyo., Oct. 31.-The rene
strong position in the hills. adjacent
to Arvada and the Tenth and Sixth
cavalry troops are accommodating
the country, preparatory to closing in
on the redskins. Apparently, the OBJ
ject of the troops is to awe the In
dams with display OF superior force
and thus secure the surrender of the
Indians without Eloodshed. The Utes
are determined not to give in to the
soldiers until they have to, believing
1T will mean their return to Utah,
where they say they cannot secure
enough to eat. The Utes have been
active in laying in a large supply OF
ammunition at Cheyenne and Gillette,
together with provisions, and il the
temper of the leading tribesmen can
be taken as an indication. they pro-
pose TO fight or at least make a show
OF resistance and secure concessions
from the soldiers and be permitted to
make their way to the Cheyenne reser-
walton and remain there pending their
disposition by Washington.
Last night the campires OF the In
Gians were blazing brightly and the
only evidence of life was the occa-
sonal fitting of the shadow of some
warrior by the fires. The Utes are
not painted, nor are they dancing.
