INDIA ASKS OF YAKIMA.
NJ. A. Peacock Writes From Shot,
apur, India, to Ask of Reclama-
ton Projects Here.

That the fame OF the Yakima val
ley and its irrigation projects has
travelled far is shown by letter re-
ceived by the county auditor on
Thursday which had been written by
M. A. Peacock OF Sholapur. India, in
which he asks for information regard
ing this country and the irrigation
works.
The letter was originally directed
to e. E. Ellis, general agent of the
Oregon River Navigation company,
the Union Pacific and other Harri-
man lines. at Seattle He forward
ed the letter to North Yakima and
asked that literature be forwarded
to the India resident. Peacock's
address Is given as the American
Marathi Mission.
Letters have previously been re-
ceived from all parts OF Europe, from
Egypt. China. Japan, Hawaii and
Australia by the Yakima Commercial
club. but the last letter indicates
that the news of the Yakima country
has even penetrated the very heart
of India.

STOLEN MONEY Is RETURNED.
Afterwards Finds Money in Lining of
His Trousers-SOme Peculiar
Circumstances.

An out of the ordinary robbery,
or what at the time was presumed to
have been a theft, and the peculiar
recovery of the stolen coin, was re-
no.. ted to J. P. Mayer Wednesday by
William H. Schaeffer, aged about so
years. who was in the city on real
estate deal
Wednesday Mr.. Schaeffer reported
while asleep in a room in the Central
lodging house of a purse containing
S54.75. According to the story of
Schaeffer, upon retiring he had plac-
ed his trousers. containing in one
pocket a buckskih sack with $54.75,
and the other pocket $500 in paper
money and drafts, beneath his pill
low. Upon awakening in the morn
ing the purse was gone and the $500
untouched. Schaffer Immediately re-
ported the affair to mayer, who later
notified Deputy Sheriff Grant.
Grant. with Mayer, went to
the lodging house and examined the
room. after which both men were
satisfied as to the party guilty OF
pur1oining the coin.
Nothing was said about the mat
ter, the supposed guilty party being
under surveillance during the re-
mainder of the day. Thursday after
noon Schaeffer again called upon Mr..
Mayer and informed him that he had
found the buckskin sack containing
the $54.75 in the lining of his trous-
ers when he awoke and proceeded
to dress that morning. Upon retir-
ing Wednesday night he had taken
the usual precaution OF placing his
trousers beneath his pillow, and was
agreeably surprised to find on dress
ing the following morning the sack
and money. The money was in gold
and silver. there being two $50 gold
pieces, one $40 gold piece, four silver
dollars, one half dollar and quar-
ter. The weight of this money would
be considerable and the idea is scout
ed by Mayer that one could go for
twenty hours with 1t lodged in the
lining of his trousers without at
tracing some attention. 1t is the
opinion that the thief, fearing detec-
ton, had attempted to place the coin
back in the pocket in the same man
ner in which he removed 1t, but had
put 1t inside the lining instead of in
the pocket
Mr.. Schaeffer has completed his
business in this city and returned to
his home.

PASSAGE OF MEASURE
PRACTICALLY ASSURED
Already Passed by Senate Hard
Work by Delegate Andrews.
Governor Curry and New
MexiCdnS Should be
Appreciated.

Col. w. S. HopeweI, chairman of
the board of control of the National
Irrigation congress, who is I'm Santa
Fe, received a wire from Delegate
w. H. Andrews this afternoon, stat
ing that the conference committee OF
the Senate and House of Congress
had returned a favorable report on
the civil sundry bill. which carries
with it an appropriation OF $4,000 to
aid in paying the expenses of the Ma
tional Irrigation congress which con-
venes this fall in Albuquerque.
AS the bill has already passed the
Senate and was sent to the joint con-
ference committee, the favorable re-
port by that committee practically
assures the passage of the bill.
That means that New Mexico will
receive the sum of 5000 for aid in
defraying the expense of the National
Irrigation congress.
With nearly every measure of any
consequence practically tied up in
committee and with only a few days
remaining for this Session of Con-
gress, the passage of the $50 900 ap-
preparation bill reflects the greatest
credit upon the ability of w. II. An
drews, the delegate to Congress from
this territory, and of the work done
by Governor Curry and other MEM
bers of the New Mexico delegation
who have gone to Washington in the
interests of that bill
II the bill passes as is now prac-
ticaly assured. Delegate Andrews win
have accomplished work that
should earn him the lasting gratitude
of the people of Albuquerque and of
New Mexico.
The officers and memt ers of the
board of control of the National Irri-
cation congress have also exerted
their influence to secure the passage
of the appropriation. Colonel Hope
well and Colonel Twitchell have made
several trips to Washington. as has
