reminders of the day from members
of the reigning families of all Euro

complished in a modified form from
the elaborate national ceremonial
which had been arranged for June
26, but which were postponed on ac-
count of the serious illness of the
King.
1t is pointed out today that the
Kings lucky number is 9. Both his
parents were born in 1919, he was

A BIC PROJECT IN WASHINGTON
Ranchcrs VIII Pipe Water from the
Columbia River.

Spokane. Wash. August g.
Ranchers owning $4,000 acres of
land in the Crab Greek district in
Grant county, Wash, southwest of
Spokane, are backing a project to
pipe water from the Columbia river
near Marcus. Stevens count, Wash,
to point more than 700 miles south
at a cost of $5.0O0.00o, thus proyid-
ing one of the most extensive gravity
systems for irrigating in the world.
The land to be supplied with mois-
ture by artificial means is in the
heart OF the sagebrush country in
eastern Washington, and will be de-
voted to fruit and vegetables as soon
las it can be made ready for crops.
The reclaimed area will provide
homes for from 100000 to 100000
men. women and children when it is
cut up into five, 10 and 20 acre
tracts.
The farmers in the district have
levied an assessment of two and
half cents an acre to provide FUND
TO mack a preliminary survey. and
NJ. j Spencer of Plains. Mont, own
er of several thousand acres of land,
who is actively identified with the
project. believes the plan of carry
ling water from the Columbia river
to the arid district by means of pipes
! can be worked out successfully. He
! said in discussing the plan:
! at is expected to bond the pro-
ject for sufficient funds to property
/ finance ii. and the hackers believe
1.-THE system outlined will bring wa
! ter to the land at an initial cost of
less than $40 an acre. After that it
is estimated the expense of mainten-
lance will be much below the present
figure of 50 an acre
Mr.. Spencer added that the sur
.yey work will be started in short
itime, and if this shows that the plan
can be carried out successfully it is
expected active operations will be-
gin early the coming year to be
pushed to completion.

HALF FOR REPUBLICANS
The President viii Not Name the
Judges Of Customs Court Soon.
He Will Aid the Party
in Virginia.

Beverly, Mass, August 9.-Presi-
dent Taft is going to dispose of the
matter of census supervisors
throughout the United States, Secre-
tary oil Commerce and Labor Nagel
and director of the Census Durand
are coming to Beverly the latter
part of the week with list of names
of formidable length, and by the
time they leave the president hopes
to announce his position,
The president has fixed upon the
policy he will follow with reference
to census appointments in the south.
In the states which are solidly dem
ocratic the president will divide the
appointments equally among the
democrats and republicans. He will
insist that the appointees shall not
be active partisans. however, but
;capable men.
From the so-called 'solid south
the president has picked out North
Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky and
Missouri as debatable states, and
will treat them on the same footing
as northern states, giving all of the
census jobs to republicans, He will
insist, however, that in these states
the same standard of efficiency and
character of men shall obtain.
The states in which the division
between democrats and republicans
/ will be made are Virginia, South
I Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama,
/ Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas.
! AS to Virginia, the president Is
represented as feeling that the bit
! terness of the recent fight between
1.-THE Henry St George Tucker and
! Joseph H. Mann partisans will give
the republicans an opportunity to
make an encouraging showing at the
polls next November. Anything he
can legitimately do to help the par
ty in the state, it is said, he will
gladly do Several administration Of
ficials and possibly a cabinet officer
or two will make speeches during
the Virginia campaign.
The president has definitely de-
cided that he will not make any ap-
pointments to the bench of the Gus
toms court provided for in the new
tariff bill. While it authorized the
court, congress has failed to make
an appropriation for the salaries. II
the president should appoint judges
under present conditions he would
have to fix their Salaries. This he
does not wish to do He has no de
sire to antagonize congress in the
matter in any way, and he believes
that in both the senate and house
the members should have the righ
to express by a vote their preference
in the matter of salaries. AS to the
objection that $4,000 salaries
would give the customs judges more
salaries than the United States cir
cult court judges, the president, i
is said, feels that the higher figures
should prevail in both cases.
