IRRIGATION for Crab Greek.


WilsonCreek, Wash.-A chance
meeting of a number Of prominent
coulee ranchers here recently and
the facts brought out in their talk
may result in a comprehensive irri-
CATION scheme being laid before the
reclamation service. If put into ex-
ecution the scheme would mean ir-
rigation for the Crab creek coun-
try from Odessa to below Adrian, or
about 35 miles, The project means
simply storing the flood waters In
convenient places. This would have
two fold effect. 1t would precent
the flooding OF thousands OF acres
now taken up with tulie swamps and
at the same time distribute the wat
err throughout the summer months
SC that thousands upon thousands OF
acres of orchards and alfalfa could
be raised in the Crab creek coulee.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, March 81
Democrats from all parts Of Missouri
to the number of 1000 attended a
banquet in Convention hall in this
city last night under the auspices OF
the Young Mems Democratic club OF
Missouri, at which w. ]. Bryan and
Judson Harmon were the guests OF
honor and the principal speakers and
the recipients of repeated ovatlons
from the 5000 persons who
thronged the great hall. Each ban
queter paid 81 for the privilege OF
attending, even the distinguished
guests insisting upon the democratic
prerogative of paying for their
plates, and the AFFAIR was probably
the most elaborate political feast
ever attempted in the state. Demo-
cratic clubs in st. Louis. st. Joseph
and other cities Of the state sent rep
resentative delegations.
Among the guests were four for
mer governors Of Missouri. T.
Crittenden. David r. Francis, Sena-

nor, Joseph Folk. All OF the candi-

Refuse to Put Up Additional $780,
600 Bonds-A1ills to Close.
SEATTLE, March 3O.-Northwest
lumbermen this afternoon fatty re-
fused to comply with the order of the
federal court to put up bonds in the
sum of 100000 to guarantee the
payment of the new rate on lumber
shipments Lumbermen refused to
sign such a bond.
The injunction against the rates
issued October 81 will be suspended
April 10, and the railroads will be
able to collect the new tariffs after
that date. Lumbermen announced
after the meeting that the mills now
operating will close down before the
rates become operative on the 18th.
Today's meeting was one of the
largest gatherings of its kind ever
held in the northwest. Nearly 900
mills were represented.

ton accorded Mr.. Harmon was no
less cordial, and suggestions of high
honors from his party were enthusi-
astieally received. Mr.. Bryan's open
ing statement that I'VE have met to
begin the campaign OF 1908 and to
present those principles and policies
which ought to appeal to republicans
as well as to traditional democrats
was the keynote of his speech and
showed the important significance he
and his followers attached to the
meeting last night. A feature of
Bryan's speech was his approval OF
Senator La Toilette as the republican
candidate for president
The speaker said that without the
support Of the administration, Mr..
Taft would scarcely have a state IN
the convention and with the presi-
dents support he has had an uphill
fight. Mr. Bryan said that Taft may
be the best man the president could
find among his cabinet officers, but
that Secretary Taft's superiority over
his colleagues is due not to his posi-
tive views. but to the fact that none
Of the rest OF them has any reform
tendencies whatever. Mr.. Bryan said
the Roosevelt sentiment IL strong In
the Mississippi and Missouri valleys
and argued that the democratic tick.
ct Is entitled to the support OF this
sentiment in the coming campaign

WILL ORCHARD
ESCAPE HEMP?
aSe to Come Before the Pardon
Board for Consideration

the path of Chief Judge Gabbart of
Colorado by which an innocent man
was killed, that he buried a bomb at
the gate to the residence of Judge
Goddard of Denver, who escaped
death by chance, and that he plotted
the death of Gov. Peabody Of Color
ado, who several times was within
few inches of death. General Sher-
man Bell, he said was also the sub
1ect Of many attempts. All these
crimes, he claimed we're inspired by
Haywood and his associates.
Because of the many unsuccessful
attempts that Orchard declared he
made to assassinate certain men, the
defense in the Haywood and Petit
bone trials argued that his story gas
largely a fabrication, based ON GER
tain mysterious murders that had ac-
tually been committed and worked
up largely by James Mcfarland,
western manager of the Pinkerton de-
tective agency, in order to lead to the
conviction of the leaders of the West
ern Federation of Miners. There has
been no attempt made, however, to
show that Orchard did not actually
commit the Steunenberg murder.
but evidence was introduced to show
that he might have had a personal
motive in that and acted in a spirit
of revenge.
Although the defense failed to
show clearly the counter conspiracy
which it charged against the mine
owners and state authorities, 1t was
shown that the entire case against
the labor leaders was worked up by
Pinkerton detectives following the
confession of Orchard about four
weeks after his arrest. The state au-
thorities of Colorado worked in con-
junction with the Idaho officials. and
Meyer, Haywood and Pettibone were
taken from Colorado In a manner
which has been frequently criticised
by many who are not in sympathy
with the miners. The men were ar
rested in Denver late at night on Feb
ruary II, 1906. They we're not al
lowed to communicate with their at
torneys or given any opportunity to
