Bids Opened for Waha Project.

LEWISTON. Idaho, April 3.-Satur-
day evening the Waha-Lewiston Land
and Water company opened bids sub
mitted for the initial contract on the
companys big irrigation system. EigE
bids were submitted, some proposals
being for the entire work and some
for certain classes. Bids on the total
work reached $4,000. The only bi,
submitted by local parties was that Of
the Inland Construction company.
Engineer Walter Graves, consulting
engineer for the company, stated that
owing to the different classes of the
work, it would take a few days to prop
erly examine and compare the same.
He also stated that the bids submitte
were considerably above his estimate,
but that it was not improbable that
satisfactory figures might be secured
from the bids by making several
awards on the minimum proposals on
the several classes of work. Mr..
Graves further stated that the company
was anxious to have the work inaug-
urated and for that reason would reach
an early decision in the matter.

Child Kidnapped.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, April 3.-One success
full Kidnapping and another attempt
that was frustrated only by the time
ly arrival of wOrkmen employed on an
adjoining building have caused con-
sternation among the parents Of Aus
tin ad Oak parks. The similarity of
the methods employed in the two cases
has led to the conclusion that they
were the work of the same person,
and fear that other children may be
made victims has been inspired in the
suburbs.
Hazel, the Agar old daughter of E.
w Powers, of Asotin, was kidnapped
by a stranger just after 1 o'clock in
the afternoon. Only a short time after
ward, an attempt was made to abduct
Harold and Fred Jennison, children
of Mrs. o. J. Jennison, of Oak park.
In each case only one man was seen,
and he used bag of candy as a bride
to lure the children away
Two policemen were detailed to con-
tinue the search for the child, but at
last reports she had not been found.

Listened to Arguments Today
An EARLY HEARING WAS DEMANDED
KANSAS PEOPLE WANT THE
CASE ENDED AS SOON AS
POSSIBLE.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 3.-The
supreme court Of the United States to-
day began the hearing Of the appeal of
Senator Joseph Ralph Burton of Kan
sas, from the judgment Of the federal
court Of st. Louis, Mo-, convicting
him Of accepting retainers in cases
pending before the departments
The early hearing of the ap-
peal vas decided upon because the
state and people of Kansas are being
deprived of full representation in the
senate. Mr.. Burton having taken no
part in it's deliberations since his in
dictment two years ago.
Another case, the hearing Of which
will probably be taken up today or to-
morrow, is that of Robert Sawyer and
Arthur Adams, two negro seamen on
the schooner Darwin who. with anoth-
er negro by the name of Scott, killed
the captain, mate, engineer and the
cook of the vessel, all white men, off
Hatteras last fall, and threw their
bodies overheard. All three were SEN
fenced to be hanged by the federal
court in North Carolina, and Sawyer
and Adams appealed to the United

ing naval militia vessels: The Gopher
Of Minnesota, the Dorothea of Illi-
nois, the Yantic of Michigan, and the
Halves and Essex of Ohio.
While Canada cannot object to these
maneuvers, because the naval militia
ships are not equipped with any ord
nance which violates the Rush Bagot
agreement Of 1917, limiting the arma-
ment of the United States and Great
Britain upon the lakes, the policy of
the navy department is attracting at
tention among the few diplomats in
Washington who have heard of the
program devised by Mr.. Newberry. 1t
is pointed out that it would not be
difficult to arm promptly any naval
militia ships, as all of them are con-
structed so as to stand the strain of
gun discharges.
The vessels have been ordered to
meet in the neighborhood Of the
straits of Mackinaw On August 5, and
from then until August II will cruise
together.

OWNED 24o ACRES, DIDN'T KNOW Il
e. A. Collins Has Surprise Sprung
on Him by a Deputy As
SCISSOR.

To have been in possession of 24O
acres of land for nearly twenty years
and without knowing it, with the taxes
rolling up annually, is the experience
of E. A. Collins. a well known farmer
on the Des Chutes river, says the
Olympian.
When George CASTOR, deputy asses
sor, was assessing the property of Mr.
Collins he discovered on the plat which
he carried with him 24O acres belonging
to Mr.. Collins, for which there had
been no assessment. He looked the
matter up in the records with County
Assessor Duval, and found that the
land had been put on the delinquent
tax rolls in 1894.
He called the attention of the owner
to it, and Mr.. Collins was sure that
he owned no land on which he had not
paid taxes. They investigated further
and discovered that the land had been
decided to Mr.. Collins by his father,
but had never been transferred on the
records, and it is doubtful if he has
ever paid any taxes on it at all.
The amount of taxes to be paid viii
almost equal the value of the 24O acres,
and it is not known whether Mr.. Col
line will make the effort to redeem the
land or not
In all this time Mr.. Castor is the
first assessor to make the discovery
He carries with him plat of the prop
erty and when he makes an assess
ment he cancels the assessed property
from the plat This systematic meth
Cd had evidently never been used be-
fore.

EDITOR UPHOLDS LYNCHlNG.
Atlanta News Declares Supreme Court
Is to Blame for Chattanooga Mob.

ALBANY, April 1.-THE News says
editorially regarding the recent lynch
ing Of the negro at Chattanooga and
of the action of the United States SUI
preme court in reprieving the negro
which caused it:
"When a black attacks and kills Or
ruins the life of a white woman, we
believe that speedy justice should be
melted out to him. If the courts per-
nit indefinite delay and fail to pro-
tect defenseless women of the south
against such outrageous crimes, there
is nothing left for white men to do ex-
cept to handle the guilty devils as
they did at Chattanooga.
'"The idea of the supreme court Of
the United States interfering in a
case as infamous as that at Chatta-
nooga seems to us to be an outrage
against justice and puts the courts
beyond consideration in such cases.
We do not believe in lynch1ng or an
archy, but we do believe in the white
man of the south protecting at any
cost the white woman when the courts
fail to do so.
'In the case at Chattanooga the
crime was especially brutal and in
human. The people of that city were
justified in furnishing the guilty negro
when they saw that he might escape
justice by the unwarranted delay and
technicality of the courts
