WASHINGTON JUST
GETTING A START,
SAYS Th0S. COOPER
ASSISTANT TO PRESIDENT OF
N. p. STOPS IN CITY, AND
TAKES OCCASION TO TELL
ABOUT WONDERS THAT
WILL BE DONE THROUGH
IRRIGATION IN THIS STATE.

Thomas Cooper, for many years
connected with the land depart
ment of the Northern Pacific, with
headquarters in Tacoma, after
wards assistant to President Mel
len, until the office of presidents
assistant was abolished, is back
in Tacoma for few days. Next
wednesday Mr.. Cooper will again
become assistant to the president
Of the Northern Pacific railroad,
but the office will be located at
st. Paul this time.
eff I had me choice in the mat
ter you may be sure would
come to Tacoma" said Mr.. Coop
err today. He had stopped here
after q long junket with the Sch
atorial committee that is looking
into the matter of irrigation and
he was full of the subject of re-
cIamation.
Reclamation of arid lands is
matter that is still in it's in
fancy" said Mr.. Cooper. In the
Yakima valley there are about
100000 acres of land under cul-
tivation now and this will be in
creased to half a million within
q few years. Washington is just
beginning to get a start. The
progress that the country will
make In few years cannot be I'm
agined.
Senatorial Trip Was Good.
1.-THE trip of senatorial COM
mittee to this country to investi-
gate irrigation projects was a
splendid thing for the country.
These men are now in position
to go back to Washington and talk
intelligently on the needs OF the
west.
1.-THE Northern Pacific has COM
paratively little land in Wash
ington now. Most of the sales we
are making is in Montana. The
rush to that country at the present
time is unprecedented. In fact
the entire West you may say Is
Just beginning to come to the
front.
Rumor Denied.
The Great Northern and North
ern Pacific railroads have not
agreed to divide their holdings on
the tidefats on the east side of
the bay. / don't know where the
rumor started. but you can say
that there is nothing in it.
'.There is nothing new in the
HiH-Harriman deal. The con-
tracts are being signed up and as
coon as the arrangements ara
completed Union Pacific trains
will be running into Tacoma.
Mr. Cooper will be busy on
matters connected with the land
department while he is in Tacoma
Tomorrow he will go to Seattle,
but he viii return to Tacoma
Wednesday and remain here until
the latter part of the week.

GAYNOR AND HARMON.

Now they are nominating the
Mayor-elect of New York for the
Presidency. 1t is said that under no
circumstances will he be candidate
for the Democratic nomination for
Governor of the Empire State. His
friends think that it is an easy step
from the Mayoralty of Greater New
York to the White House. Well, all
that depends on whether he makes
good as Mayor. He has hard road
to travel; he was nominated and
elected Mayor by Tammany, and
with him were elected fusion candi-
dates for nearly all the other offices
opposed to Tammany. The treasury
of Americas greatest city will be
under the control of anti-Tammany
Office holders. SO the Mayor will
be between the devil and the deep
blue sea-" and he will have to man.
age matters very skilfuly and diplo-
matically to come out so victorious as
to make himself available for the
Democratic nomination for Presl-
dent. Besides, Governor Harmon, of
Ohio. will have to be considered and
reckoned with. If he is again elected
Governor of Ohio. Harmon will be a
strong candidate for the Democratic
nomination.

If President Taft could only put
the lid on the pork barrel" and
keep it on, he would undoubtedly be
the greatest benefactor the Ameri-
can people have lodged in the White
House for many a day. 1t is no
torious fact that most of the money
expended by appropriations from the
pork barrel" has been wasted. be-
cause it went to the congressional
districts Of those congressman who
stood in with the pork distributors,
while in all probability in the ada
cent congressional district there
was little or no appropriation and
the same waterway was improved in
one and unimproved in another.
President Taft's proposition is to
make internal Improvements for the
whole country and not for any State
or congressional district. The APP
preparations made by congress ought
to be made for the benefit of>all citi-
zens of the country alike and not in
order that this or that congressman
shall return to Washington. We
would like to see Mr.. Taft get the
lid on the pork barrel and then
sit down On it good and hard.

sugar made by the trust bears on Us
face the proof of robbery-the true
weight and the false. Those who knew
that the sugar trust was thief, anC
who sought for legal proof in the Gus
tom house records. were referred tC

George H. Earle. Jr.. of Philadelphia
offered to lay bare the sugar trusts
| full iniquity to President Roosevelt
and Attorney General Bonaparte. Mr.
Earle was rebuffed and left in com
plete discouragement. For one year
after that the sugar trust continued to
steal
The facts show that the sugar trust
could not have stolen upwards Of $780,
OOO. 600 without the cognizance OF
treasury officials and the patronage
of politicians. The same cargoes were
weighed and underweighed. The trust
paid freight on the actual weight. II
paid duties on the underweight. Ii
stole from to 10 per cent OF the duty
on every cargo.
The trust tried to blackmail the car
riers OF cargoes by pretended evapo-
ration of sugar. It weakened when the
carriers threatened to tell the truth,
II succeeded in part of its blackmail
because the carriers feared they
would be driven out OF business.
The trusts power was such that 1t
secured a special rate of estimating
duties. This enabled 1t TO juggle fig
ures in the New York custom house
so that it apparently got small re
funds, while in reality It got large re
payments.
Shippers of sugar the world over
knew of this robbery. Carriers knew
It. Weighers knew It. officials within
the custom house itself must have
known IT, The sugar trust silenced
revelations.
