TRAVELLING WITH TAFT
Especial Correspondence


Now that President Taft is we'll on
his way on what is perhaps the most
notable trip ever taken by a chief
magistrate Of the United States it has
been shown that the original schedule
Is being closely adhered to. Gerrit
Ford, assistant to the vice president of
the New York Central lines. who has
charge of the transportation arrange
ments for the entire trip. has Father
Time beaten to a standstill.
Over Many Railroad Systems.
The presidents trip covers an timer
airy Of 1859 miles. and his private
cars the Maytlower and the Halle
mar, will be handled over twenty-five
different railroad systems. The South
ern Pacific will get the longest haul Of
$3.50 miles. The Maricopa and Phoe-
nix railroad. in Arizona, gets the short
haul Of thirty-fve miles. The voyage
down the Mississippi river from st.
Louis to New Orleans on the steam
boat Mississippi covers 1.165 miles,
1t will begin Oct. % and will occupy
four days and five nights.
Opening the Gunnison Tunnel.
The striking incidents of President
Taft's progress so far included an in
spection of one of the greatest irriga-
ton projects Of all the west at Mont
rose. Colo. The president spent nearly
half day there and officiated at the
opening Of the new Gunnison tunnel.
The Gunnison tunnel Is said to be
the longest underground waterway in
the world. The Uncompahgre project,
as it is called, Is the first Of the great
irrigation systems started by the rec
lamation service to be completed. and
1t ranks third among the twenty seven
enterprises begun by the government.
Thousands Of acres Of the finest fruit
land In the world will be caused to
blossom with crops with the waters
that were turned on to them when
President Taft pressed button. At
present 1t Is little more than a sage
brush desert. The tunnel is six miles
long and built of concrete. 1t bores
through a mountain and will transfer
water from the Gunnison river to the
Uncompahgre river valley. Twelve
miles of canal with a greater cross
section than that Of the Erie canal
will conduct the stream from one riv-
or to another. Fourteen intermediate
drops will generate 10000 horsepower.
Government Will Sell Water.

Columbus Day.

In several of the states. notably
New York, New Jersey. Pennsylvania,
Connecticut, Colorado, Illinois, Mis-
souri,, Montana, California and Mlchi-
gan, Oct. 10 has been made legal
holiday in honor Of Columbus. 1t
was on Oct. II that he discovered
America, and it is proposed by the
knights of Columbus, various Italian
societies and others to establish this
date as national holiday. 1t is ar
gued that it would be especially APP
propriate to celebrate it in the public
schools.
Perhaps the most considerable force
behind the project is that of the Ital-
ian societies. The fact that Columbus
was himself of Italian birth furnishes
the motive. He is the historical link
that binds the Italian to America
Paying formal respect to the discov-
erer Of these shores is a movement in
which all Americans are or should be
interested. Any one who properly ap-
preciates the Importance Of having
been discovered should welcome Co
lumhus day. The knockers who claim
that the Morse found America before
Columbus should reflect that this is a
mere academic point at best and has
no practical bearing, since the fact of
their discovery, if, indeed, it was made
had been forgotten long before the
time of Columbus.

Bile land surrounding the celebrated
MOntrose fruit district will be placed
at the disposal Of farmers. The gov
eminent will charge about $35 an acre
for water rights, but irrigation will in
crease the value Of the land many

to 800 men have been employed on the
work. and for their accommodation
two towns containing schools, hospi-
tails and dwellings have been built by
the government at the canals portals
The work has cost about $5,OOO,OOO

farmers will have no difficulty in mar

upon to take a goodly percentage Of
farm products at high prices.
Small Farms the Rule.
Most of the ranches in the Montrose
district are small and compact, and
intensive agriculture is practiced.
When settled under the government
plan the unit will not be above ten
acres. The metropolis Of the Uncom-
palgre valley is Montrose. an enter
prising and modern little city. with
schools. churches. theater, etc., that
compare favorably with eastern COM

great day for Montrose and the whole
valley when President Taft sent the
water tumbling and roaring on its
life giving mission to the thirsty des-
ert.

Leaving Colorado. the president
reached Salt Lake City on Friday
evening, Sept "a, remaining until Sun
day noon. Thence his itinerary car
ried him to Butte, Mont, where he
viewed the big smelters and was
warmly welcomed; short visit to
the Occur dAlene country Of northern
Idaho and then Spokane. The commit
tee on decorations had made a special
recommendation in its report that the
city streets be secured and scrubbed"
on the night prior to the advent Of
President Taft into the city. In fact
general recommendation had gone
forward that the city put on its best
attire for the coming of the executive,
and not only We're the streets flushed,
cleaned and sprinkled lightly, but the
sidewalks of the city were devoid OF
boxes or any standing rubbish that
would impart an untidy appearance.

IT'S DOING FINE,
THANK YOU


The Spokane Press is going forward to what looks like
entire success
One year ago last October The Press ran a series of
articles describing how the plan is working out in Gal
weston, Dallas Des Mones and other Cities and this
proved to be great educational factor. Some two
months ago, this newspaper believing the time ripe
for the adoption of the proposition suggested such step
and urged immediate action Although other newspapers
here still fought shy of the project at first they are
giving support to it, largely because they recog
nze that method must be pursued for the city gov
eminent to extrcae itself from its present muddle.
The Press has several of the original commission
plan articles again, together with Ones
and it is going to continue to furnish the fullest publicity
and support to the movement until it has been consum
mated The Press has number of interesting campaigns
on-ke for instance the fight against the loan sharks
but none of them will be permitted to anguish.
The proposition to elect five commissioners, who will
choose mayor from among their number and the plan
to make their salary $4,000 now and $500 when the fed
eral gives Spokane population of 100000, are
good The salaries sufficient, but not at all extrava
giant. Tie commissioners will devote their entire time
to the city, and must be capable the managers Of
great private corporation. They must be who de-
mand big salaries and the city must in return demand
big work.

BAND OF AMAZoNS
MADE BLUFF GOOD

WASHINGTON, Pa. June 22.-Armed
with guns and clubs, stones and other
weapons, a score of women prevented 35
laborers from commencing work on a
proposed new highway near here today.
From seven o'clock in the morning until
late last night. the women remained at
the posts and not a stroke Of work
was done by the laborers.
The township road supervisors have
sent for a detachment of state police who
are expected TO arrive early today to
prevent a possible riot. The trouble be-
gan when a contractor appeared at Avella
with a gang of workmen to begin work
on a road leading from Avella 10 indie
pendence. Wives of Italians living in
the vicinity of the road claim their hus-
bands had been promised the work on the
new highway.
Other men were given employment and
when they were ready for work the band
of Infatuated women swept down on them
and for a while the air was filled with
missiles and the laborers dropped picks
and shovels and ran to the shelter of a
nearby wood.
Bloodshed is feared If any further at
tempt is made by the laborers to resume
work. 1t is stated that the husbands Of
the Infatuated women stand ready to open
hoStilities.
