HoLANDERs COMING

Nearly quarter of a million
dollars is represented in the sale
of 5000 acres of land at Romeo,
to the San Luis valley, by Zeph
Charles Felt Of Denver to col
ony of Dutch farmers now resid-
ing in Iowa. The deal was closed
by L D. Hobson of Denver and
Edward Fair of Boulder, who rep
resent the Hollanders.
Watered by the Romero canal,
the land is as fertile as any in Col
orado and will be brought to the
highest point of cultivation by the
Hollanders, who come to this state
with ample means to farm on an
extensive scale. Many Of them
are among Iowa's most prosperous
farmers. The deal means notable
impetus to farming operations in

Nature has helped wonderfully in
making this q most practical site
for . dam, and the locators and
promoters have very appropriately
named the project Devils Gate.
A. il now planned by the engin-
ssrs in charge, a dam 1877 feet high
and 847 feet long is to be con-
struc4ed across Devils gate, the
oore Of which shall be concrete
and the cost of the structure esti-
mated TO b between t20O, 600 and
100000. According to the re-
poets this would cause to be con-
served enough water to irrigate
5000 scess Of land, and the reser-
voir vhea hllsd would cover about
40 aosss oe ground.
The land that h proposed for
reclamation lies north and north

ATTENDANCE VERY SMALL
Debate on the Tariff Bill Continues in
the House.

Washington, April 2.-The plan of
the Republican leaders to close gen
eral debate on the tariff bill having
been abandoned there was only a
slight increase in the attendance when
the house met.
Opening the days debate Mr.. Can
trill (Ky.), in his maiden speech as a
representative, discussed the tobacco
and hemp schedules. Because tobacco
was the prey of great trust he said
1t needed protection. Mr.. Cantrill
urged that the bill be amended so
that they may 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.
A general defense of the bill was
made by Mr.. Gaines CIV. Va.), mem
Der of the committee on ways and
means. In preparing the Payne bill
he said, the committee proceeded upon
the principle that If there was any
thing in the Dingley schedules more
than enough to protect and behind
which persons could combine and un.
duly hold up prices the Republican
party was required to lop off that ex'
cess, and that" he said, I'VE have
undertaken to do in this bill"

Leavenworth, Kan, April 2.-It took
1900 United States soldiers to main
tain order and to prevent prisoners
from escaping during a fire which de-
stroyed four buildings of the federal
military prison here.
All the 500 prisoners were marched
out of their cellhouses when it seemed
that the whole prison certainly would
be destroyed and were held under
heavy military guard until the fire
was under control. Then after some
of the cellhouses had cooled suffi-
ciently they were marched back again.
The fire was discovered before mid
night by sentry. who fired his pistol.
The fire call was sounded and the en-
tire garrison at Fort Leavenworth
turned out. The Thirteenth infantry
was thrown around the prison
The fire, which probably started in
the prison tailor shop, gained rapid
