river, 10000 acres, costing 100000. The
Lower Yellowstone project, in Montana
and North Dakota, takes in 10000
acres, and will cost $2,7O0,OO0 when
completed.
Two hundred private projects are in
operation in the Inland Empire. Num-
erous irrigation canals have been con-
structed in Chelan county, which has
the Wenatchee, Chelan and Entiat val
leys. There are also important works
along the Columbia river in eastern
Oregon and in the Spokane, Kettle
Falls, Bitter Root and Snake river and
Clearwater valleys. One hundred thou
sand acres of land in the Spokane val
ley is capable Of irrigation. The Spo-
kane river, nearby lakes and an under
ground stream, flowing through the
valley, are used by these plants, one
Of which raises the water by means of
electric pumps from wells, 81 to 14O
feet in depth.
The extent of operations on irrigated
lands in the northwest will be better
understood when it is known that the
value Of the apple and other fruit crops
in the Inland Empire amounted TO $14,.
100000 in 1908 1t will be SOC, 900. 600
in 1912, by which time several million
trees, set out in the last two years, will
come into bearing, and others planted
between 1903 and 1906 will have reach
ed maturity.
This is only the beginning Of the
fruit industry in the northwest, where
millions Of acres Of land, now feckec
with the dusty green Of sagebrush, il
awaiting the refreshing moisture t,
make it blossom like the proverbia
rose. Irrigation does much more foi
the growing crops than rain, as thu
natural element gives nothing excep
moisture, while the waters diverte,
from the mountain sides bring witt
them new fertility.
Irrigation is no longer an experiment
in the western country; it is a confrmel
success from commercial and fnancia
viewpoints. II has been demonstrate
that under irrigation these lands vii
produce paying crops Of anything whic
grows in the temperate zone The prod
ucts are noted for their brilliant color
ing, unusual size and excellent hayol
and they command the markets Of TIA

variety and the choicest vine and ire

ASKS FOR HEAVY TAX
ON DEADLY WEAPONS
Says Adoption of Bill Would Mean
Annual Revenue of s1,ooo,o 900, and
Would Prevent Revenue Frauds and
Increase Pay Of Carriers.

WASHINGTON, March 20.-Hon. 7.
U. Sisson, congressman from the
Fourth Mississippi district, who was
sworn in at the beginning of the pres.
ent special session. has already intro
duced three bills, and all of them
promise to provoke national discus
sion.
The first bill imposes a tax on
deadly weapons, and Mr.. Sisson ar
CUES that it would produce an annual
revenue of more than $1,000,00O.
The second bill is to prevent frauds
in the granting of liquor licenses. 1t
is contended that men in prohibition
districts buy revenue licenses under
assumed names and engage in the un
lawful sale of intoxicating liquors.
The third bill is for an increase in
the pay of rural mail carriers, making
the minimum pay 800 a month with
a view of lettering the service.
Mr.. Sisson says that all three of the
measures will be pushed. He prom
ises to keep them out of the pigeon
holes in the committee rooms.

TELEPHONE COMPANY
BROUGHT FIRST NEWS


The first bulletin of the verdict
reached by the Cooper-Sharp jury was
received by The News over the wires
of the Cumberland Telephone COM
pany.
Several days ago, when the case
first went to the jury The News ar
ranged with Manager Barbee of the
local Cumberland exchange to keep
watch" on Nashville, and the wisdom
of this arrangement was amply DEM
onstrated by the fact that The News
was able to give to the people of Hat
tiesburg the first bulletin of the ver-
dict. This was received nearly thirty
minutes before the Associated Press
flash came over the wires of the
Western Union.
1t is needless to say that this is a
splendid illustration of the efficiency
of the service maintained by the Cum
berland company. The Associated
Press, which has right of way over
the Western Union, did it's utmost to
deliver the news ahead of all competi-
tors.

KINDS COUNTY COURT
TWO MURDER CASES FOR

JACKSON, Miss, March 20.-The
Kinds county circuit court concluded
the third week of it's March term this
afternoon. having been busily engaged
throughout period in hearing the i7ii
docket.
On Mcl Cay the criminal docket will
be taken up, and during the next two
OF three weeks public interest will be
very keenly centered in the work
of the body
First and foremost, of course, will
be the trial OF Will Sorsby, the slayer
of Postoffice Inspector Fitzgerald,
who will be brought into court i'm
mediately after the opening hour, and
the district attorney will file motion
asking that a special venire of 200
talesmen be summoned for the trial
OF the case. 1t is probable that the
actual beginning of the trial will be
set for Thursday or Friday.
Some measure of interest is also
Zee, slayer of Sam Reber. for whom
special venire will also be asked.
AS in the Sorsby case, it is expected
that the defense will place its main
reliance in the plea of insanity, and
that a profusion of expert testimony
will be sprinkled through the court
records during the trials of these two
celebrated cases.
A goodly number of indictments for
Illicit retailing are pending on the cal
endar, chiefly cases appealed from the
local police court wherein evidence
against the defendants was worked
up by W. NJ. Pinson, the preacher de-
tective. Two negroes are under in
dictment for murder, and there are a
dozen or more smaller felony cases
pending for trial.

To form a four team league it would
be necessary to enlist Jackson, AL
giers, Alexandria and Monroe. Some
of the local directors are game enough
to make the attempt, but others are
opposing it, and at present there
seems no prospect of getting them
together. Jackson stayed in to the
finish, and it looks like this finish is
the final one for the circuit
The unfortunate feature of the col
lapse o the league is the fact taht
scores of players will be turned
adrift, and many of them will have
no opportunity to sign with other
teams this season. The best players,
of course will have opportunity to en-
list elsewhere, but the men of average
ability will spend an idle summer. in
so far as professional baseball is con-
cerned. A,.se-HsHNF

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Mar. Cove,
the jury, find the defendants guilty of
murder in the second degree, and fix
their punishment at twenty years each
in the penitentiary."
This was the verdict Of the jury this
morning in the case against Col Dun
can B. Cooper and Robin J. Cooper
for the murder Of former United
States Senator Edward w. Carmack
There had been no inkling of a ver-
dict before court convened, but the
usual crowd had gathered and the
presence Of the defendants and their
families and friends, who came into
the courtroom soon after Judge Hart
called the court to order was the first
indication that a report was to be
had from the jury
The twelve men soon appeared at
the entrance to the court chamber,
accompanied by the sheriff and two
OF his deputies. They marched down
the aisle with slow and steady step,
and were seated exactly where they
had remained for so many days to
hear the evidence and the arguments.
Have you reached a verdict?" ask
ed Judge Hart.
Yes" said the foreman, who arose
to his feet and handed a crumpled bit
of paper to the clerk.
Immediately the defense moved to
sci aside the verdict because of the
verdict of disagreement reported yes
torday The court was asked to de-
clare il mistrial.
Judge Hart said that he would lis
ten TO arguments on this motion later.
He then fixed the bonds of the defend
ants at $250OO each, which amount
was acceptable to both sides.
Occasioned Surprise.
The verdict, coming at it did on the
heels of the disagreement yesterday,
when Foreman Burke declared: 1--WE
are hopelessly tied as to the Coopers,"
was a decided surprise.
The defendants took it coolly-al-

no official prronouncement to this
effect has been issued, there is hard
ly any reasonable doubt that the Cot
ton States league has "kerflummax-
ed"
There is no possibility. according
to the present outlook, Of four-team

sections are opposed to recognizing
Algiers in such an arrangement, be-
lieving that the long jumps woucld eat
up the gate receipts.

any statements for the present, but
on Monday he will be prepared to
state officially whether or not the
league is to continue in existence.
