CRISIS IN IRISH AFFAIRS.

In speech at Boston recently. T.
j. O'Connor announced that at that
very time Parliament was considering
an improved land act, one better even
than that under which already more
than 100000 Irish peasants have be-
come landed proprietors. This new
land act is the one which Premier As
quith has just decided to make a big
fight over. 1t has been reported back
from the House OF Lords with amend
mcnts that, so the prime minister says.
the House Of Commons will not ac-
cept. Thus the crisis in British poll
teal affairs become graver than it was
before
The act in question Is an extension
OF the policy Of giving ireland back
to the Irish and leaving the native
stock 10 develop the country under
benevolent conditions II is a scheme
that has so far done much TO placate
the Irish leaders, FOR il has been do

times oppressive, landlordism. "And
in fifteen years" said Mr.. O'Connoor
TO his Boston audience, "landlordism
will be a dead and buried thing and
every rod will be owned by the Celtic
race, and the only lord above them

billion dollars for loans to tenants

contest has practically united the va
riOus Irish elements-the landlords

government is stoutIy in favor Of the
completion OF the work. as Premier
Asquith has demonstrated by his dec

QUEENSLAND's WATER TREES
Wise Provision Of Nature That Is One
OF the curiosities Of the
Region.

One OF the curiosities in natural his
tory in the colony of Queensland is
the provision by nature Of a supply OF
water in the roots of certain trees.
On these roots the aborigines former
ly depended for their water for sew
eral months of the year.
There are several kinds of trees In
Queensland from which water can
be obtained including three species
OF eucalyptus. and the kurrajong. The
eucalypti consists of a gum. which is
the largest OF the back country trees.

the most preferred. as yielding the
greatest quantity. This tree resem-
bles the red gum in appearance, the
leaves being a little narrower and OF
a silvery color. II grows chiefly on
sandy or light loamy soil and throws
out numerous lateral roots at a depth
Of about nine inches from the sur
face of the ground. The position of
these roots was ascertained by the
blacks by repeatedly jabbing the
points OF spear or sharpened stick
in the soft earth at distance of about
six or eight feet from the trunk of
the tree. The soil was then removed
with a wooden shovel for some 20
feet or more and the root cut off at
either end This was then cut up
into lengths of about is inches, the
bark knocked off and the lengths stood
on end In some receptacle to contain
water. In many cases the blacks used

male wallaby. AS soon as all these
pieces were placed on end the opera

vigorous puff expelled the remaining
water The size of the roots chosen
was, with the bark on. about the thick
ness of a mans wrist. The larger
ones being more woody and less por.
GUS, contain little or no water. The
water is beautifully clear, cool, and
free from any unpleasant taste or

TERRELL DOCK
CASE IN COURT
FePrell Asks for Writ Requiring
Red Collar Line to Land
Steamers at Dock.

This evening is the time set for the
hearing of the writ of mandamus
prayed for by VIM. Terrell against
the Occur d'Alene & St. Joe Trans
portation company. The case was
to have been heard at the last term
Of court in the county, but when the
time arrived it was found necessary
to postpone it in order to secure wit
nesses for the hearing, and Judge
Dunn agreed to come to the city this
evening from Standpoint and hear the
case in chambers.
Mr.. Terrell in his writ alleges
that the company fails to land, as has
been its custom in the past, at his
dock at the town of Terrell with
passengers and freight, but that in
stead it lands at another dock and
that this makes it inconvenient for
him, and also for others who secure
freight from his dock, and he asks
that writ of mandate be issued
compelling the company to land at
his dock. The company contends
that the dock is a private one and
not one of public character and that
under the law it is not compelled to
land there.
a number of witnesses arrived in
the city today from the up-river
country to give testimony in the
case.
R. +. Mcfarland represents Mr..
Terrell, and the company is repre-
sented by Robert Elder.
