COEUR DALENE, Idaho, Aug
13.-Amid continued enthusiasm
on the part of the great crowd
present, the second days drawing
for the lands in the Flathead res
|ervation opened today.
Two thousand numbers will be
drawn today, and 1000 more to-
morrow, completing the number
necessary for the Flathead. While
there are actually less than 5000
homesteads in the reservation, 1t is
generally conceded that every per-
son who draws a number UP to
nearly 1000 can get a piece of land
II he wants 1t. The Spokane reser-
walton drawing will begin Monday.
The winners in today's drawing
were:

TURNED DOWN.

A resolution providing that when
the government advances an irri-
cation project in a locality In which
Ia private irrigation concern has
started such project, the govern
ment should reimburse the private
concern for all expense 1t has In
Cured, was flatly turned down by
the irrigation congress this after
noon.
The resolution was offered BY
the resolution committee at the In
stance of parties believed to be in
terested in private irrigation pro-
ject in Arizona. The proposition
seemed to meet with the approval
of no one of the regular delegates
at the convention, as the interests
of promoters OF private irrigation
projects was shown too plainly on
the surface.

have been grabbed, but it is equal

LISBON, Aug. 13.-The Spanish
at Melilla have been driven from
all advanced positions by the Moors,
who are bombarding the fortresses
of the city with captured cannon,
according to. advices today. In the
weeks of fighting, both sides have
lost heavily. The Spaniards are
taking refuge in the inner fortress.
The Moors have gained a big
advantage and are reinforced by
Riff tribesmen. Sorties to dislodge
mountain guns failed by the Span
iards, who were under a whitening
fire. General Marina was nearly
captured by the Moors. The posi-
ton of the Spaniards is untenable.
The Moors are elated and hope to
annihilate the depleted garrison.
