10000 to 10000 Acres By the

Boise, April 1.-THE acreage to
be irrigated by the King Hill Land
and irrigation company under what
is known as the Glenns Ferry pro-
ject, has been reduced about one
half and the price of water per acre
raised from $50 to SOS by the state
land board of land commissioners at
the request of the irri cation COM
pany-
The action taken by the board
relative to reducing acreage was a
part of the business transacted at a
session held late Yesterday after
noon and at w hich were present O.
o. Haga, c. II. Hammett, Con-
structing Engineer Swanson and
Contractor Slick of the King Hill
company. A petition was filed by
the irrigation company some time
ago asking the board to reduce the
number of acres to be covered by
the project on account of large
portion of the land being above the
level of the canal and not irrigible
except at a great expense for con-
struction of canals and laterals
The matter was referred to En-
gineer Martin for investigation and
report to the board. In his report
to the board he stated that it was
not feasible to irrigatc the portion

MOST CAREFULLY WORDED INSULT THAT
WAS EVER SENT 4 PARLIAMENTARY BODY
WHAT STIRRED THE
HORNETS NEST.

The passage in the presidents
message to congress which stirred
the hornets nest says:
In its present form the re-
striction Chat the secret service
men shall not be used by the
executive for political work or for
Investigations OF any kind not di-
rectly connected with the regu-
lar executive Departmental OPP
crates only to the advantage of
the criminal or the wrongdoer.
The chief argument in favor of
the provision was that the con-
gressmen did not themselves wish
to be investigated by the secret
service men.
Very little of such investiga-
ton has been done in the past.
but t is true that the work of
the secret service agents was
partly responsible for the indict-
ment and conviction of a senator
and a congressman for land
frauds in Oregon"

THE SLAUGHTER OF ROBINS.
Millions Killed in Three Southern
States by POthunters.


Virginia, North Carolina, and Ten
nessee have the undesirable distinc-
ton of being the only states in the
Union in which the slaughter of rob-
ms is permitted by law and recent
investigations show that not less than
100000 robins are killed by some
10000 pothunters in these three
states during the winter months.
Patient investigation by ornitholo-
gists has proved that a robin in a
year earns 81 in the destruction of
insects injurious to crops. The pot
hunters sell them for five cents a
dozen. This wanton waste of mill
lions of dollars is something which
should appeal to the hard common
sense OF every southern farmer.

Says Senator Bacon of ROOse
Velt'S Message to Congress.
WHITE HOUSE IN HOT WATER

The Senate, After Pouring Grape and
Canister Broadside Into the Pres
idential Camp, Passed by Unani-
nous Vote a Resolution Authoriz-
ing Inquiry Relative to the Often
sive Message.
WASHINGTON-The senate has
definitely decided to enter upon an
investigation relative to that portion
of the presidents annual message,
which criticises the action of CON
gress in prohibiting the detail of Sc
cret service men to duty in other
departments.
The resolution had been in con-
temptation ever since the message
was received on Tuesday of last week.
1t was decided that Senator Aldrich
should stand sponsor for the meas
ure, and the Rhode Island senator
presented resolution authorizing
the inquiry.
Senator Culberson, the caucus
leader of the democrats, sent sub
stitute, which was somewhat more
specific than Mr.. Aldrich's resolution.
Aldrich Measure Selected.
Both measures were promptly re-
ferred to the committee on contin-
gent expenses and almost immedt-
ately afterwards Senator Kean from
that committee reported back the
Aldrich bill with a recommendation
that it pass.
After a very animated discussion, |
in which several members of theI
senate spoke very pointedly regard |
resolution was adopted.
"a Wanton Insult"
Mr.. Bailey objected to the resolu-
ton because it did not direct the |
committee to inquire into the very |
gross and wantOn" words of the pres |
ident's message. 80 far as l am
concerned" he said, mo action |
should be taken on that resolution |
until that point is covered. Either |
congress is the most infamous bodyI
that ever assembled in any country |
of the world, or it will take some no. |
tice of this most wanton and gross |
insult ever given any body in the I
world"
Mr.. Aldrich insisted that the reso-
luton provided for just what Mr.. /
Bailey advocated, but the senator
from Texas retorted that if that was
included in the resolution it was in
mild terms.
''The president" he said, sis not
so careful in what he says about con-
gress, and I cannot understand why
congress is so careful about what it
says about him. regard this as
the most insulting message ever sent
to any body. l doubt if a mayor ever
sent such message to a corrupt city
council. l believe in talking plainly
to people who talk plainly to us. l
believe in reciprocity of that kind.
If the president was not justified in
making those statements that mes
sage ought to be sent back to him.
