(By Associated Press

Washington, April 1.-The plan
of the republican leaders to close the
general debate on the tariff bill was
today abandoned a Representative
Cantrill, of Kentucky, urged that the
bill be amended that tobacco and
hemp might not be Disseminated
against, but that such duty for rev.
enue should be applied as would not
cripple those industries in his state
and elsewhere.

ence with President Taft, was asked
when he thought the house would
vote on the Payne tariff bill. He re-
piled, "God knows" He added that
no vote would be taken until after an
opportunity for due deliberation had
been given.

ed, ended his long and spectacular
fight for freedom when he stepped
from the portals of the Tombs prison,
a free man.
Pouren was sought by the czar's
government because he was thought
to possess revolutionary secrets of
the utmost Importance in the disrupt
ing and running down of the revolu-
tionary committee which threatened
at one time to destroy the dynasty.

a charge of murder and other high

state, however, upheld the commits
sioner's ruling, and Pouren today was
discharged from custody.

ciferously as he emerged. Pouren

BIG RUSH To
MALAGA TODAY
AUTOS AND RIGS TAKE MANY
PROSPECTIVE BUYERS TO THE
LAND SALE OF THE MALAGA
LAND COMPANY.

Bright and early this morning
rigs and autos began to leave here
for the 900 acre tract near Malaga
which has been put on the market
by the Wenatchee Realty & Invest
ment company. Most of those who
went down from here have decided
to buy and it is expected that large

lairship which ascended this morning
from Freiderichafen with the inten-

ARTEs1AN WATER AT EPHRATA
Ranchers to Discuss Matter at Meet
ing Saturday.

Ephrata, Wash, April 1.-Plans
are on foot to call a mass meeting of
citizens and land owners of this VIC
unity to investigate the feasibility of
drilling an artesian well. Under the
leadership of J. NJ Pierce, promi-
lnent landowner and booster, the in
itial mass meeting will be called to-
morrow. 1t is proposed to locate the
we'll two and one sahlf miles north of
town on land owned by William STEM
ger. The underground water supply
in this vicinity is easily accessible and
of quality which is found. upon the
voluntary statements of residents Of
other parts of Grant county, to be
of superior quality and exceptionally
free from alkaline ingredients. The
first sheet has been found to exist at
an average depth of so feet.
A well dug recently on the Robert
Ingram ranch, mile from the pro-
posed site of the artesian we'll, when
carried to a depth of 130 feet, yield
ed 10S feet of water and appears to
be inexhaustible.
Those who are pushing the arte-
sian project propose to go into the
work in a thorough manner. At the
meeting the proposition will be sub
mitted of raising an initial fund suf-
ficient to provide for sinking a shaft
to a depth of 100 feet.
If the proposition succeeds irriga-
tion will be certain.
The soil in the Ephrata valley is of
excellent quality and the climate ex-
tremely favorable for growth by ir-
rigation. With the mildness of the
winter climate hereabouts the season
is always early, and the frost and
snow disappear by the last of Febru-
ary In former years grass has been
known to keep green all through the
winter in the country south of here,
known as the desert More ani more
the land has been taken up and clear
ed about here during the last year.
On land two miles from the propos-
ed artesian well site a record crop
of potatoes was harvested last sea-
son from newly broken soil and with
out other moisture than accumulat-
ing from the spring thaws. Climate,
soil and underground water supply
all combine to render the prospects |
auspicious for artesian irrigation.

kane Chamber of Commerce while in
Spokane. Yourself and any of your

The Letter.
The letter follows:
I'm recent issue of your paper
you are inclined to criticise Cover
nor M. E. Hay for failing to veto
the $4,000 appropriation to enable
the city of Spokane to entertain the
irrigation congress that will be held
at Spokane the coming year; also
the Wenatchee bridge bill, the Stuck
river appropriation and the $250,000
derived from the sale of shore lands
on Lake Union.
The Irrigation Act.
LET us make a partial analysis
of these measures, beginning with the
100000 to Spokane No body that
has met or, in all probability, will
meet in this state for several years
that will be greater benefit to the
state of Washington than this irriga-
couraged. Eastern Oregon has more
arid lands than eastern Washington.
but on account of the enterprise of
the people of eastern Washington,
hundreds of millions of dollars have
been added to the wealth of the state
through irrigation, and the push and
enterprise of her wide awake citi-
zens. This has helped to make Spo-
kane the Queen City of the Inland
Empire If we are to continue our
greatness and not fall into a moss
