coRTELYoU OUT OF 1T.
Senator DoIIiver Would Also Like
to Be.

Chicago, June 14.-There are many
politicians tonight who think the
ticket will consist of Taft and DOlli-
ver Some think the Iowa senator
as sure of the second place as the
secretary of war is of the first. The
Dolliver boom has grown so rapidly
today as to give Dolliver the center
of the stage in the vice presidential
drama. Other features of the situ-
alton are the increased prominence
given to Fairbanks as candidate for
successor to himself, the falling off
in the COrtelyou boom and the pro-
nounced Improvement in Sherman's
chances.
According to present indications
Cortelyou's name will be presented as
ii now seems practically impossible for
him to receive the endorsement of the
New York delegation. Assistant Sec
retary of the Treasury Coolidge said
that if Cortelyou could not secure the
nomination without a fight mis- name
would not be presented. There is no
passihisitI- isf ;tsnidiEz q conflict eNep
&c polliver were eliminated az IL IS
evident thar no one viii be permitted
to gather the prize with winning it
in the open arena from a n9lnber OF
valiant competitors.
If New York was considered doubt
ful its claim would receive2sthe most
respectful consideration. Consequent
ly much attention is given to the re-
port that the New York delegation will
declare for Sherman in case of Hughes
failure TO gain the first place.
The friends of Dolliver have been
busy devising means of preventing his
nomination on the grounds that his Sc
lection would work incalculable harm by
making his seat in the senate the bas-
is for a renewal of the factional fight
in Iowa. He has made reply to all
appeals that the office is not one that
appeals to him. 1t is declared openly
that Taft has expressed a decided
preference for Dolliver. Counting on
having Bryan for an opponent the sec
retary is reported to have taken the
position that he would need as a
running mate a western man of reform
ideas rather than an eastern man of
refactionary tendencies.

THE KAISER'S BID
FOR FRIENDSHIP
DESTROYS of SuppIanting England in
the Good Graces of France.

Berlin, June 14.-That the diplomatic
successes of his uncle, King Edward.
are a thorn in the flesh of the kaiser
has never been shown more plainly
than now, when it is said that the en-
peror is endeavoring to arrange for a
French exposition to be held in this
city next year.
If he succeeds, he will do much to
offset the effects of the Anglo French
exposition opened in London few
weeks ago, and the first step towards
real reconciliation between France
and Germany would have been made,
especially is the president of France
could be induced TO visit the eXposi-
ton.
The first plan was to transport the
French exposition in London bodily to
Berlin. and nearly all of the French
exhibitors were willing to have this
done, but as the exposition in London
does not close until October, it would
be impossible to think of opening
fair in Berlin until the spring of 1909,
and the kaiser's idea is now to have an
Independent French exposition at that
time, much larger than the one in Lon
don, and to follow it up with Ger
man exposition in Paris year later.
The French press, however, seems
to be very much opposed to the idea,
and that the English papers will do
their utmost to prevent its execution
goes without saying.

PREFERS HIS Low S1
TO ROYAL POSITION
A German Prince Is Defiant of the
Imperial Threats.

Berlin. June 14.-TO cure young
Prince Friedrich Wilhelm of Prussia
of his love for the beautiful Countess
Paula Won Lehudorff, the kaiser
threatens to send him to Silesia,
where his family owns large estates,
but so far the prince absolutely re-
fuses to take. any orders, from his
imperial relative and declares that
he will rather give up his royal rank
and title than his love.
Romantic love affairs have already
blasted the careers of the princes
two older brothers, Friedrich Heinrich
and Joachim Albrecht, who are both
i'm disgrace at court, and it is not the
first time that he himself has shown
that he has a will of his own, and
in the first clash between the two the
kaiser lost.
1t was the intention of Emperor
William that Friedrich Wilhelm
should adopt a military career. and
he was. when very young, made a
lieutenant in the first regiment of the
guard. He remained in the service
for a few years and then uneXpect-
edly resigned, saying that he was dis

many objections the emperor had to
give in and the prince was sent to
Koenigsberg to become acquainted
with the civil administration.
Countess Paula, whom the prince
insists he will marry, kaiser or no
kaiser, is an unusually beautiful girl
of nineteen, daughter of Williams
favorite adjutant, Count Heinrich Won
Lehndorff. Her mother, Countess
Margaret of Kanitz, who is lady-in-
waiting to the empress, has been
forced by her imperial mistress to re-
fuse to give her consent to an en-
gagement between the young people,
but secretly she is said to favor the
match which would give her daughter
royal rank.

OVERBURDENFD PRINCE
WALES A HARD WORKER
II Has Been Necessary For the Heir
Apparent to Take a Rest.

London, June 14.-Too much work
has almost completely broken down
the never too robust health of the
Prince of Wales and his physicians
have advised him to spend as much
time as possible near the seashore
For this reason, Barton Manor, King
Edwards small private country seat
in the Isle of Wight, is being put in
shape for the prince who will spend
as much of his time there as he can
spare from his official duties until he
leaves for Canada.
The work resting on the shoulders
of the prince in the kings absence
is much more arduous than that of
the average London business man and
many are the days when he has been
at his desk from seven in the morn
ing till six at night, with a very short
time for luncheon. Sometimes of late
he has been so thoroughly tired out
after a log day that he has been
compelled to retire as early as nine
o'clock at night. During the past few
weeks whenever he has been able to
enjoy a night off, which is rather a
rare occasion at this time of vera,
he has spent the evening in a very
democratic manner.
on these occasions he sends a foot
man over to the Marlborough club,
one of the few clubs which may now
be called ultra exclusive, and at
which the king in former years spent
many jolly evenings. The footman
obtains the dinner menu and returns
to Marlborough house, where the
prince puts a mark against three
dishes. usually soup, fish and roast.
A little later the prince goes over
to the club, asks one of his fellow
members to sit at his table. and
thoroughly enjoys himself. After din
ner he produces a pipe, a habit which
has chung to him from his navy days,
and settles himself with some evening
newspapers into a large chair in the
smoking room. On these occasions
none Of his fellow members approach
the prince unless he is addressed.

headquarters today a band perform
ed a sacred concert, with occasional
strains of Hail Columbia and much
ragtime interspersed. The Taft head
quarters had many visitors but the
formal opening was deferred until
the arrival of the Ohio delegation to-
morrow. The Fairbanks headQuar-
ters were radiant with flowers and
filled with ladies accompanying the
Indiana delegation. The Knox head
quarters had their full share of ex-
citement with two bands and two
marching clubs.
One of the chief conferences of the
day was on the platform. While it
was rather informal it brought about
the understanding that the document
already drafted in accordance with
the views of Roosevelt and Taft
would go before the convention in its
present form. Among the probable
members of the platform committee
are Representatives Payne and Dalzell
and Senator Hopkins. This strong
tariff element will probably bring
about some consideration of the de-
tails of the work of tariff revision.
The vice presidential contest con-
tinued the most enlivening feature
of the preliminary work. The dele
gates are as much in doubt as ever.
The Dolliver element appears to be
making the greatest advance and
this gave rise to reports that the
Dolliver movement is now an as
sured success. The friends of other
candidates are far from admitting
this a call was issued for a caucus
of the New York delegation tomor-
row which is expected to develop the
strength of the various New York
names, Sherman, Woodruff, Cortel-
you and possibly Seth Low. Wood
ruff appears to be the favorite nu-
merically in his own delegation.

Outward Signs of the Approaching Na-
tiOna| Convention
1t Has Become Apparent That the Crowd and the
Enthusiasm Will Be Less Than at Former National
Gatherings OF the Party.

= Chicago. June 14.-With flags fly
ing, bands playing and crowds sing
ing the usual Sunday calm in Chi
cago gave way today to the many
noisy demonstrations which usher in
a national convention. State delega-
tions and marching clubs passed into
the city throughout the day and there
was an incessant din of exploding
enthusiasm. The headquarters of the
candidates and delegations were be-
sieged by incoming throngs which
checked hotel lobbies and overflowed
in the streets. II was an ideal sum-
mer day, with bright skies and a cool
breeze.
Despite the thrush of strangers,
there was a feeling that the multi
tude was not as great and the en-
thusiasm not as feverish as in times
past. 1t was observed that some of
the arriving delegations were stripped
to a strict business basis of dele
gates and alternates, without the
usual quota of strong lunged shout
ers. This caused a cancellation of
hotel reservations in large numbers.
Although many conferences were held
the chief interest centered in the
arriving delegations.
The California delegation, headed
by NJ. n. DeYoung, and the oregon
delegates arrived at noon. Penn
sylvania was reinforced by two de-
tachments, one with banners and two
hundred marchers, the other accom-
panying Congressman Dalzell, from
the heart of the steel district The
six Hawaiian delegates brought their
wives. Among other delegations were
Idaho, Montana, Virginia, Maine, Yer
mont, New Hampshire and New Mex
leo.
1t was announced at the Taft head
quarters today that Senator Warner
of Missguri viii he chairman OF the
conventan coulHiftea 10 notify the
nomfnee. tilst former tsox-rnor Hin
of Maine viii be the head of the
committee on permanent organization;
that Senator Fulton of oregon is
most favorably considered for chair
man of the credentials committee.
The selections will depend upon the
ability of the Taft forces to organ
ize the convention and the announce
ments are regarded as Indicating the
confidence felt.

IRRIGATION
FOR PERUVIANS
United States Reclamation
Experts Employed
A Similarity of the Prob
lens There to Those of
This Country.

Washington, June 14.-This govern
ment's active interest in reclaiming
arid land in the west by irrigation is
not a solitary or exceptional movement
in the world of today. Similar work
is going on in many countries. Irri-
CATION is as old as civilization, but
Just now it is receiving more atten
ton than ever before, and many gigan
tic problems are being worked out by
the foremost engineers.
Peru is one of the latest to turn its
attention to developing waste land by
bringing water upon it from rivers
which have always gone idly to the
sea. 1t is true that irrigation in Peru
has been carried on since before the
days Of Atahualpa, four hundred years
ago, but not on a scale to be COM
pared with what is now contemplated.
a report to this government by Mr.
Charles NJ. Pepper, special agent at
Lima, says experts from the United
States Geological Survey and from the
reclamation service have been IN Peru
for some time, employed by that gov
ernment to investigate the pOssibili
ties of irrigation. The reclamation of
$500. 900 acres between the mountains
and the sea has been pronounced feas-
ible. The rivers are not large, and the
projects in Peru would not compare
for size with some of the great irriga
ton schemes in the United States. But
the marvellous fertility of the land in
the South American republic, and its
fine climate, assure success in the
highest degree.
The arid lands of the United States,
with five or six inches of rain year,
might be considered well watered if
compared with some Of Peru's dry
wastes which are TO be reclaimed. The
showers that VISIT them are few and
far between-once in from ten to four
teen years. But when water is put on
such land, its fertility is phenomenal.
The soil has lain inert for centuries
without any run-off to leach out the
fertility stored from time immemorial.
This has beer found true IN our own
west The driest region often has the
strongest4 soil opce 8 is hrpusst uR-
der Irrigation and its salts dissolved
and made available for plants.
Peru's rivers which are to be utilized
flow down from snowy mountains and
cross the arid country just as many
of the rivers of our own arid regions
do. To that extent, the western part
of the United States and the western
portion of Peru have many features in
common, and the engineering experts
who have gone down there from this
country can make good use of the eX-
perience and technical knowledge
gained at home.

INTERIOR
COMMERCE
Figures for the Month of
April Made Up
Favorable Showing Only i'm
the Items OF Lumber and
Hard Coal.

Washington, June domestic COM
merce movements for the month of
April, as reported to the bureau of
statistics Of the department of COM
merce and labor, indicate an improve
ment in the lumber and anthracite
coal trades, though activity in the live
stock, meat, grain, soft coal, and iron
trades shows but few signs of a return
to normal conditions.
Receipts of live stock at seven in
terror primary markets during April,
2,739,516 head, show a considerable de-
crease both compared with the figures
for the earlier months of the year as
well as with like figures for the cor
responding months in 1907 and 1906,

mails reported 51S.733 were cattle. H.
474 calves, 1.457.224 hogs. 664, ,723 sheep,
and 1882 horses and mules. As COM
pared with April, 1907, receipts, the
largest decreases occurred in the case
of cattle, hogs, and sheep. Receipts
at the cities in question during the
first four months of the year 14,329,
766 head, compare favorably with the
corresponding 1907 and 1906 figures Of
13,557.400 and 13.444,003 head, the in
crease in the total being due, however.
exclusively to a large gain in the arri-
val of hogs.

A Conference of Congressman on the
Ellis Platform.

Chicago, June IA sensation was
created tonight by the unexpected
arrival of Speaker Cannon in re-
sponse to a long distance telephone
in which was explained to him the
situation with regard to the plat
form. Mr.. Cannon was-soon in con-
ference with the congressional lead
ers, including Payne, Dalzell, Over
street, Sherman and others. 1t was
the speakers view that the anti-in-
junction plank proposed would be
unnecessary and unwise. AS speaker
he feels that the formal action of the
republican membership of the house
taken a few weeks ago and strongly
expressive of opposition to such leg
islation should receive more serious
consideration before it is included in
the platform.

feet. 1t has gradually widened until
there is now more than a shaft full of
rich ore. A simple pan test made from
rock anywhere across the shaft bottom
will at once satisfy that the ore is a
very fine product and because the hole
is approaching water level rich sui
phides occur with the free gold, which
makes the assays come up appreciably.
A number Of sacks of high grade ore,
ssmpling from $l75 to 5000 per ton,
have been saved from this ledge, be-
sides a large pile Of shipping ore piled
loose on the dumps.
WIDE WEST HAS ORE
Blue Canyon, about one and one-half
miles northwest of town, is receiving
additional attention from the fact that
rich ore has been uncovered ON the
Wide West group, an estate owned by
Henry Williams. The owner has been
doing a lot of prospecting which has
resulted in locating several very strong
lodges in addition to the main ledge,
which trends through the Proskey
group. 1t has been determined that a
junction of lodges occur on a. small hill
located at about the center of the
group, and the owner is driving a small
tunnel to uncover the ore bodies at
some depth.
GARAvANTA GROUP
Only repair and prospecting work is
being done at the Garavanta mines
now that the property is under lease
and bond to California capitalists. The
owners had made considerable Roadway
in the new crosscut up to the time the
lease was arranged, resulting in an ex-
posture of solid ore as far as the drift
had progressed, about 25 feet. This is
another thing which goes to show the
uniformity of the many ore bodies
trending through the acreage.
HAWK NEST AND VICINITY
Claim owners, prospectors and miners
are punching holes in the ground and
securing over the hills in the vicinity
Of the Hawk Nest claim. The chunks
of quartz uncovered on that acreage
and which show wire gold, look good
to the miners and in consequence they
are busy over that way trying to locate
some of the same material. Finds of
the brownish-colored quartz have al
ready been made from which gold may
be PANIED and there is much to in
dictate that other strikes will be made
in that neighborhood shortly.
