Drainage System in San luis.

Monte Vista, Colo.-Arthur q. Nor.
gan and his assistant of the Geological
Survey are here making the prelimi-
nary survey for the extensive drainage
system which will be constructed in the
San Luis valley this summer for the
purpose of reclaiming the alkali land
1t is calculated that nearly 100000
acres of land in the valley which had
hitherto been practically worthless for
farming purposes will be brought to a
high state of productiveness by this
means.
The drainage system will be con-
structed in such a manner that lands
may first be flooded and washed free
from allkali and then this water VIII be
taken by an extensive system OF
bitches to large lake ip the south
ern end of the valley.
According to the present calculations
It may be year before the project can
be completed, but it is recognized as
one of the most important ever under
taken in the valley. The operation viii
be carried on under the supervision OF
the government but the farmers aud
landowners. who will receive the direct
benefit, will do the work.
The scheme will require an expend5-
ture OF nearly half million dollars
The water to flood the lands win bo

AN INSANE UNCLE
ORCHARD ADMITS INSANITY III
HIS FAMILY TREE.
MAY HAVE GREAT WEIGHT
Against Witnesses for Defense
in Haywood Trial.

Boise, Idaho-A lunacy commission
to inquire into the mental condition Of
Harry Orchard, the sensational wit
ness OF the prosecution in the Hay
wood trial, is being seriously consid-
cred. The defense has become con-
vinced that the letter from Pensyl.
vania telling of the streak of insanity
running in the blood of Orchard alias
Horsley, told nothing but the conserya-
tive truth.
Orchard admitted that his maternal
uncle, after being unbalanced for
years had hanged himself. The star
assassin was paler, more nervous,
more nearly at the point of collopse
when he made this admission than at
any time since he has been ON tho
stand telling his wonderful story OF
bloodshed. Messengers in the employ
of the defense are hurrying to Canada
and Pennsylvania. the former homes OF
Orchards people, to collect evidence
along this new, startling and very inn
portant line of defense. The reports
they will make may not reach Boise

The prosecution has entered upon a
systematic campaign to have placed
under arrest on charges of perjury the
witnesses for Haywood's side
Several warrants had already been
sworn out charging perjury against
the witnesses for the defense, and q
similar charge was made against G. w.
Aller, formerly an operator at Flor
ence and Cripple Creek, who testified
that Detective d. C. Scott and Or
chard had been together three times
to his knowledge; and his arrest is be-
cause of this testimony. Bond has
been fixed in this case at $4,000, and
the prosecution is allowing it to be
noised abroad that other arrests on
the same charge will be made. 1he
defense announces that every case OF
this kind will be defended by the
same lawyers. Clare"ce Darrow and E.

fight for Haywood.
Cross-examining Detective D. G.
Scott, Darrow asked him:
"You knew that the first time Or
chard went to see Meyer and Haywood
you gave him a railroad pass and
money!"
Scott admitted that such was the
case, and furthermore, admitted that
Orchard had been with him seven
times, and that on one occasion he
gave him S45. By the time Darrow fin

was created that Orchard had been as

spying on miners and trying to get at
Meyer, Haywood and others.
