VAST SCOPE OF THE WORK
UNDERTAKEN BY THE
GOVERNMENT.

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 1&-
Many persons will be surprised to
learn that before the government
turned stone an area equal to the
state of Massachusetts had, by pri-
vate irrigation enterprises, been
wrested from the unwatered and
valueless wastes of the west. Now
comes the United States govern
ment to lend hand and push for
ward the task of retaining the
desert places.
The secretary Of the interior es-
Inmates the reclaimable area of the
Great American Desert at 100000
acres, of which area the present
projects involve less than 1-25th. 1t
is the guess of experts that the
government will soon be retaining
the desert at the rate Of 1,000,0OO
| acres a year. At the end of the
year 1925, for instance, not less
than 100000 acres will certainly
have been reclaimed and put under
cultivation. The money spent in
retaining land must, under the
law, be repaid by settlers in annual
payments extending over a period

BABY SOUGHT
PROTECTION

Officer Pitts was very fatherly
looking yesterday afternoon when
he trudged down Howard street,
bearing in his arms a pretty little
baby girl about 3 years old.
Pitts created a sensation at the
police station when he brought the
baby In. The officer was on duty
at the corner of Riverside and How
ard when the little tot waddled up
to him and took hold of his trousers
down about the knee. He is a big
six-foOter and at first he thought it
might be dog, but just then tiny
voice said "goo-goo-goo." Pitts
picked her up and held her until
he got tired. Nobody came for her.
Soon duty called him to keep the
corner clear and see excited pedes-
TRANS across the street, and he
gave the child to a bystander for
while and later took It to the sta
ton. Pretty soon officer Dian an
swered the telephone and a frantic
mother told about losing her baby.
"All right" said Dial, shes safe
here at the station" Soon the mo-
Their came down, got the child and
left, hugging it to her breast. The
officers were too excited to inquire
to whom the child belonged.

tie.
No one but the revolutionary
leaders know what a vast number
of Russian soldiers would join in
the revolution today if the call
should come.
Though Russia is on the verge OF
bankruptcy, the government is
spending vast sums for arms from
abroad. 1t recently purchased new
armored automobile guns in Paris
and there are other evidences OF
their preparation for the conflict.
The intellectuals of Russia are
firmly with the revolution, with the
exception of the priesthood, which
is so subsidized by the autocracy
that It no longer has any influence
with the people. 1t is not overdraw-
ing 1T to say that the priests are
most hated of any class. But intel
lectuals are not generals and arm
les will not move without COM
manders.
The battle of Odessa would have
been won by the revolutionists if
they had arms to repel the enemy's
force and a commander whose word
would have been law.
Russia will continue to be a field
of battle until this cause is won.

SMOKING THEM OUT.

WASHINGTON, d. C., April ] 4 -
The administration court review
amendment, introduced by Senator
Long of Kansas has done much to
clear up the rate bill situation In
the senate.
The meaning Of this amendment
is. "The least possible power in
the court, compatible with constitu
tionality In the act"
The administration forces now
will line up in favor of the bill thus
amended. The railroad senators
democrats as we'll as republicans
will line up on the other side. This
will smoke them out. This was the
presidents purpose.

Every union in Spokane is now
rapidly forging ahead with the soil
, tary exception of the cigarmakers.
This state of affairs has created
considerable comment among union
men, and it is conceded by all who
are familiar with the situation to
call for radical remedy. The CT
garmakers In this community, as in
nearly every other, prosper just as
a demand is created for their goods,
and the reason that the local cigar
makers are not keeping pace with
the growth of this city is because
union men are not doing their plain
duty toward their fellow union men
ana insist on having union label
cigars and tobacco. If all the ci.
gars used in Spokane were made
here 1t would mean the employ
ment OF more than 200 men; these
200 men earning from $25 to $35
per week would mean a tremendous
increase in the pay roll of Spokane
and would be one of the biggest
boosts possible for this city. Aside
from the union side of the question
1t is to the interest of every man
living in Spokane and the Inland
Empire to demand union made CT

WAS SHOT

The police are investigating a
very mysterious case. A man call
ing himself Frank Penny was found
by Michael Blessing, farmer liv-
ing few miles out in the country,
wandering around in his fields yes

though he had been in a fight but
he maintained that he was shot.
Blessing brought him to town and

is not shot, but his Uranium looks
as though he had had an encounter

kicked with hobnailed boots. Pen
ny says he is railroad construc-

NEW YORK, April 16.-For 40
years a Russian revolutionist, Mich
olas w. Tchaykovsky has been in
this country for some weeks as the
advance agent in the work he and
Maxim Gorky propose to carry out
here.
Their plan is to influence finan.
cial sympathy in this land of the
free so that the working classes of
Russia may be provided with arms
to fight for liberty.
When Gorky arrives he will find
that his colleague Tchaykovsky has
been active. Already an American
national committee has been form
ed, headed by Robt. Hunter, a men,
Der of the wealthy Stokes family.
Among the wealthy Americans who
have promised support are Stuy
vesant Fish and Robt. Collier, the
millionaire railroader and publisher.
Tchaykovsky is a graduate of the
University of ST. Petersburg. While
a student he was arrested three
times for his agitations. Later he
was imprisoned and then exiled.
Most of the time since he has
lived in London directing the ma.
chinery of revolution. Four years
he spent in the United States, stu
dying social conditions. He worked
in Philadelphia, farmed in Kansas
and lived in Shaker settlement
near Rochester.
He has been back to Russia sew
eral times in disguise.
