Engineer in Reclamation Servicr
Tells Of Work on Strawberry
Project.
WIDER OPERATIONS SOON
FORMATION OF GROUND is BEING
CAREFULLY STUDIED.

George A. Hammond, engineer of the
drilling work in connection with the
Strawberry Valley irrigation project.
returned yesterday from Washington.
d c, where he has been in conference
with the board of consulting engineers
of the reclamation service. While
there he presented data to the board
on the drilling that had already beer
done along the course where the TUNE
is to be be driven through the noun
tains. The drilling work has fairly be-
gun, however, and while there Mr..
Hammond secured machinery and
other equipment to continue the work
during the coming summer.
All along the course of the proposed
tunnel this work will be carried on.
The drills viii be sunk to the bed Of
the tunnel and tests made of the rock
formation before the tunnel is COM
menced. So far the formations struck
by the drills have been entirely salts
factory and the bed OF the tunnel will
be encased in solid rock. Some trouble
was at first anticipated from under
ground streams and springs. but it is
thought that the bed of the tunnel
runs too low to be affected much in
this way.
Drills Are Sunk Deep.
More extensive work will undoubt-
eddy be done this year with the drills,
but Mr.. Hammond was unable to say
just when il would be commenced So
far the drilling has been confined to
the slope of the mountains near the
mouth Of the tunnel. The formations
there are irregular, being gravel, clay
and sandstone. Through this perco-
lates water, and there are a number
Of spring in the vicinity, but where
the drills struck the proposed bed of
the tunnel stronger and harder forma-
tons were encountered. The drills
have been sunk almost 5000 feet in one
or two places. but with the new equip
ment greater depths can be reached
more extensively.
Progress at Salt River.
Mr.. Hammond was gone about five
weeks, but during that time he went
to New York and visited other cities in
the east. In a few days he will leave
for the Salt River irrigation project in
Arizona. The great Roosevelt dam is
now being constructed and Mr.. Ham
mond is going there to overlook some
OF the work.
A conference of the district engineers
OF this section Of the United States
reclamation service will be held on
Wednesday afternoon at the offices OF
George L. Swendsen. a. G. Chandler.
n. Q. Sanders and J. H Quinton and
Mr. SWsndsen are the engineers of this
district. At the conference legal ques-
lions as well as a review of the work
Of the reclamation department. now be-
ing constructed in the intermountain
states will be considered. The ques-
ton of organizing the water users into
an association will also be discussed

ILLINOIS WINS
OVER MISSOURI
Sewage Of Chicago Can Be Dumped
Into Mississippi River Without
Further Trouble.
NEGR0'S APPEAL DISMISSED
OPINIONS OF UNITED STATES
SUPREME COURT.

Washington, Feb. 19.-The famous
state OF Illinois, involving the right OF
the city Of Chicago to divert its sew
age into the Mississippi river through
the Chicago sanitary canal and the IL
linois river. was decided today by the
supreme court of the United States in
favor Of Illinois. Justice Holmes deliv-
cred the opinion of the court, which was
that Missouri did not prove its case.
There was no dissension.
Charges Made by Missouri.
Missouri. In it's bill. charged that the
diversion OF the sewage was calculated
to have an injurious effect upon the
people of the towns on the Missouri
side, below the mouth of the Illino S
river. The declaration was made that
I,500 tons Of poisCnous, Unhealthful and
noXisus matters were discharged daily
through this channel into the MisslSsip-
pi with the result that the water of
that stream would be poisoned and pol
luted and rendered wholly unfit for
domestic and drinking purposes, also
that t would render entirely worthless
the waterw0rlts system Of st. Louis and
other towns AMI cities below the mouth
Of the Illinois upon the Missouri side.
A perpetual Injunction was asked.
Answer Of Illinois.
In its answer Illinois denied the con-
tention Of Missouri alleging that with
800, coo cubic feet of pure water from
Lake Michigan being turned into the
channel every minute the water of the
Mississippi would be vastly improved,
the presence Of the
sewage matter at the head of the
drainage system. The case has been
before the court for several years.

CITIZENSHIP FOR PORTO RICANs.

President Roosevelt spoke in an anticipatory
spirit when he addressed the Porto Ricans at
Ponce as his fellow citizens" but we may
share the confidence which he declared he felt in
the success of his efforts to secure for the ISL
anders the complete status of American citizens.
At present their status is a somewhat anom-
aIous one. They citizens Of Porto Rico. but
Porto Rico is not sovereign nation. In certain
senses they are citizens Of the United States,
and In others-to wit In political respects-they
are not. They ship their coffee and other
products freely to the United States. without
tariff charges, but when they come hither
themselves they are subjected to our immigra-
ton laws as aliens 1t is not strange that they
regard these circumstances a grievance, and
hailed with enthusiasm the Presidents promise
to do all in his power to hasten that bestowal
of full citizenship upon them which he believed
was certain TO come at some time.
In those sentiments determinations and ex-
pectations the American people will doubtless
generally sympathize with the President and
the Porto Ricans. 1t has no doubt been legal
and constitutional to hold the islanders outside
of the pale Of American citizenship. The Su-
preme Court has so declared ut Almost as
surely, 1t was prudent and commendable 10 do
for time. until the fitness of the people for
such citizenship and their competence for self
government were demonstrated That demon
strauon is now, we believe, sufficiently complete
TO be convincing The record Of the island has
for several years been marked with prosperity
and progress and with q fine degree of order
and realization of the responsibilities Of q
self-governing, or potentially selfgoverning.
community.
There might, and, indeed, should, be strong
objection TO bestowfng citizenship on Porto
Ricans If 1t were to be regarded as a step pre-
liminary to statehood, but that is not the case
There is no reason to suppose that the President
had statehood for the island in contemplation.
or that he would take any other attitude than
one Of uncompromising resistance to any pro-
posal for the Incorporation of any OF our outlying
and detached possessions into this continental
union Of states When Porto Rico receives the
gift Of citizenship for Its people 1t should be
with no impossible aspirations for statehood. but
with profound satisfaction at the establishment
of the island on logical and dtgniied basis as
an autonomous territory Of the United States.

.IAPAN IN CHINA

An impressive and instructive exposition of
the expansion of Japanese commerce in China
Is made by the ''Nichi-N Nichi Shimbun" in quot
Ing recent official statistics. 1t shows that in
the first seven months of the present year
Japanese exports to China were about $4S.5OO.-
600. while in the same part of 1903 they were
only S3O00O00O There has thus been an in
crease since the year before the Russian war
Of more than 81 per cent.
or course, anti-Japanese propagandists ex-
claim that Japan has grabbed for herself a
monopoly of Manchurian trade and is rushing
her goods in there to the exclusion of ours.
Not So In the first place, Japan has no such
monopoly but has opened the doors of Man
cnurla 10 all the world exactly equal terms.
In the second place, It Is not in Manchuria that
she has made her chief gain. or the increase
In her trade In these three years only 10 per
cent has been in Manchuria, while 81 per cent
has been In Northern China and 81 per cent has
been down In Central China In the valley of the
fangtse River, which was not at all affected by
the war
Ii may he Of interest to observe that Japan
Is thus selling to China more than twice as much
as this country is, even including our sales to
