LAND RUSH AT NORTH PLATTE
Big Crowd of Homeseekers Gathered
There for Opening Today.

North Platte, Neb., May THE
homestead rush is on in earnest. The
city is full of homeseekers. Probably
a larger percentage OF homeseekers
have visited the land and made sclec-
tons than at any former opening here.
Several hundred men were in line
when the land Office opened at .
o'clock this morning. 1t is likely that
every piece OF vacant land will be
taken. Scores of contests are being
filed against fraudulent quarter.sec-
ton entries filed during the past few
years by cattle organizations.

Man Held Up at Texico.

From TeXicO Democrat.
Wednesday evening just at dark.
Spencer T. Holder was held up and
robbed of $1,150 in cash and $4,000
worth of notes. Mr.. Holder was cross
ing from his Office to the depot, wheu
he was suddenly confronted by two
armed men who commanded him to
throw up his hands. One of the men
kept Holder covered with his gun
while the other one went through his
pockets, abstracting his wallet, con
tanning the money and notes.
Owing to the darkness, Holder is
not able to give a very good descrip-
tion of the hold-ups, and their capture
is not probable. According to the
statement of Holder, both men wore
white hats and were men below the
medium in stature. One of them wore
a dark suit of clothes and the other
a dark coat and lfgnt pants. Neither
of them wore mask. Mr.. Holder does
not remember seeing either of the
men before, and has no idea who they
are He has offered a reward of $500
for their apprehension and conviction.

FOUR BADLY HURT

switch today in the northern part of

along the tracks, while the passen-

not killed. The train was rushing
along at rate of about fifty miles
an hour when it struck the switch,
and the passengers were thrown in
every direction. The engineer stuck
to his post and was uninjured. Fire
man Mahaffy jumped and probably is
fatally nurt. Four passengers were
badly injured and many received
scratches Or slight bruises. The thru
sleepers were wrecked, but did not
catch fire. The officials believe the
switch was either tampered with or
carelessly left open.

UNCLE SAM MAKES FARMS
FOR AMERICAN FARMERS

The farmers of the United States
will be interested in an article lately
published over the signature of c. j.
States Reclamation Service, showing
the vastness of the Government S
irrigation projects now being built
under the provisions of the National
Reclamation Act for the purpose of
making new farms for the rapidly
growing number of American farmers.
Mr.. Blanchard in his article enum-
crates long list of projects actually
under construction, and another list
held in allegiance awaiting the time
when the condition of the reclamation
fund will permit their construction
He shows that the twenty-five pro
jects now under construction, when
fully developed, will add to the crop
producing area of the United States
3,19S,O00 acres, or a cultivated area
equal to the total acreage devoted to
Agricultural crops in Connecticut,
New Hampshire, Massachusetts and
Florida.
Three of these twenty-five projects
are practically completed; six more
will be in service this summer. Work
is progressing on all of them, and
their early completion may be consid-
cred absolutely sure.
Thirteen additional projects held
in allegiance have an even greater
area than those now under construc-
ton, and there are in the West many
more millions of acres with water
available for irrigation-a great field
for further agricultural development,
comprising one of our most valuable
resources in view of the rapid in
crease in population and the necessi
ty of continued increase of agricultu
raj production.
The National Reclamation Act pro
vides that moneys received from sales
of public lands in certain Western
states and territories shall be placed
in a revolving fund that is being used
to build irrigation systems in the
states which provide it. The law wise
ly provides for the return of the mon
ey to the National Treasury by the

lands benefited when it becomes avail
able for use in further construction.
The addition of these millions OF
the West, but to the entire United
States, because of tine Importance OF
continued agricultural expansion. 1t
is of interest to the farmers because
it gives to their sons an opportunity
of obtaining new lands; 1T is of inter
est to the business men because it
means opportunities for new business !;
it is of interest to manufacturers be-
cause it means a new demand for
their products.
The enactment of the law under
which this great reclamation work is
going on is very largely due to the
National Irrigation Congress, the fif-
teenth session of which will be held
in Sacramento, California, September
2-7 next. This promises to be one of
the most widely represented congress
es ever held in this country, both be-
cause of the widespread interest in
this new national irrigation policy,
and because of the widespread interest
in national forestry, which takes
equal prominence in the annual meet
ing of this body.

Boise, Idaho, Jure 1s.-The Hay

Orchard was recalled and examined
for Impeachment by Attorney Richard

tions that the defense proposed to
bring witnesses to prove that Orchard
for years nursed a vengeful spite ag
ainst Steunenberg and repeatedly
made threats to kill nim Orchard de
MED that he said to Max Malich in
June or July, 1905, that he was going
to kill Steunenberg even if he had to
swing for it, or that he said to Ma

redirect examination, ]. H. Hawley
brought the testimony that Orchard
sold his interest in the Hercules mine
in March. 1897, prior to the TROUBLES
in the Couer d'Alene district. Orchard
identified a copy of a letter received
by him while in jail at Caldwell soon
after his arrest for the murder of
Steunenberg. The copy had been made
by Deputy Sheriff J. T. Nichols, who
had previously testified to this effect
by Orchard after he had read it. The
letter was as follows:
Il have received yours and have
sent that to jackson. l hope to hear
from you as to your movements and
that you will be successful (No
signature)
Orchard said the letter was from
Pettibone. A copy of telegram from
Spokane, made by Nichols, was also
identified by Orchard. 1t said: ''Attor-
ney Fred Miller will start for Cald-
we'll in the morning"
(Signed) M"
Nichols had testified that Orchard
had not sent telegram to Miller be-
fore receiving one.
Orchard said he had not made any
arrangement with Miller, but that in
October, 1905, Sinpkins told him that
if he ever got into trouble the law
firm in Spokane of which Miller was
a member would be a good one.
The state produced number of let
ters written by the witness, and one
alleged to have been written by Hay
wood, the purpose of which was to
show there was a conspiracy to de
ceive Mrs. Orchard in the spring and
summer of 1905 as TO the wherea-
bouts of Orchard. The defense protes-
ted against the introduction of new
matter on redirect examination, but
the court ruled that if it was impro-
per on redirect examination he would
permit the state to reopen it's exam
ination.
