MANY GOVERNORS
WILL MAKE SPEECHES
Congress at Spokane to Hear Re
marks From Fasteners Who
Are Interested In the
work Of ReCld
nation.

Spokane, Aug. 13.-John /. Martin,
representing the president of the
Lakes-to-the-Gulf Deep Waterways
association, today urged a bond issue
in aid of the deep waterways project
before the irrigation congress. HIs
plea for the assistance of the congress
was greeted with applause and it is
believed a resolution embodying his
ideas will be adopted
The congress this morning received
the governors of eastern states, who
will speak this afternoon. John T.
Mathews delivered an address on
Deep Waterways for an Inland En-
pire." He was followed by w. d.
Lyman, of Whitman college. Walla
Walla, who devoted his attention to
the commercial future of the Column
bia river. He said in part
Among the various rivers OF the
United States worthy of public attten-
tion and utilization, that of the Co.
lumbia river and it's affluents stands
eminent.
'The watershed of the Columbia
embraces about 100000 square miles.
The total length is 1,400 miles.
LAS to it's capability to Great me-
chanicaI power, it has been roughly
estimated that the available horse
power of the United States is $1,000
900, of which more than one-fourth
is on the Columbia river and its trib-
utaries."
Mr.. Lyman asserted that at a mod
crate cost, with locks at two points
in British Columbia and four in the
United States, with some improve
ments at half dozen rapids, the
Columbia could be navigated over its
whole course of 1,400 miles.
OF the 55,OO0.000 bushels of wheat
harvested in the inland empire this
season, it is probable that 35,000,00O
wilI be shipped to tide water. With
an average reduction of cents on
35,000,000 bushels, due to water COM
petition, a saving on wheat alone of
$1,4OO,OO0 a year could be made, the
speaker said.
Want Ten Millions.
Annual appropriations of ten nit
lion dollars for five years to aid irri-
CATION is asked Congress in a resolu-
ton adopted by the irrigation con-
gress today The resolution says in
part:
That homesteaders under govern
ment projects should not be required
to establish residence before the gov
ernment is prepared to furnish them
water.
THAT the states should pass laws
regulating the cutting of timber )r
public and private lands"
The committee on resolutions turn
ed down Hooker's resolution asking
for a billion dollar bond issue after
a severe debate. No hint of the Bal
linger-Pinchot difficulty came up il
committee.

SUN MOVES WITH STARS.
One Of Stream Constantly Travelling In
Same Direction.

The sun Is one Of a stream Of stars
moving I'm the same direction and
with equal velocities. Thus says
Prof. Kobold OF the observatory OF
Kiel, who has become convinced by
his studies OF star currents that the
sun does actually form part OF such u
current, which is moving toward q
point on the edge OF the milky way.
Kapteyn OF Groningen has come tc
the conclusion that the stars drift in
two directions. This conclusion 10
based on the examination OF 2.50c
stars observedly repeatedly.
To the everyday person Il seems
trivial TO consider defects amounting
to only one part of 100000 in the rela-
tive accuracy OF wave lengths Of diff
ferent solar and metallic spectrum
lines, but astronomers find that impor-
tant conclusions In al least three difs
ferent lines of research depend on
these small differences. There is the
determination Of the motions OF heav-
enly bodies In the line OF sight or
the observer which depend on the
measurement of the shifting lines OF
the spectra. In this work an error
OF this sort corresponds 10 q difference
of velocity of more than mile a sec
ond
AS another research demanding ac
curate measurements may be cited the
comparison OF metallic and solar or
other star spectra to determine the
constitution of the heavenly bodies.
Sometimes the spectra were supposed
TO coincide when there was diver
gence which means great differences.

how he and his agreeable partner had
tried to buy out the disagreeable other
fellow and. having failed. had engaged

more infinitely he went over the mat

cousin. Then he came to his point.
He wanted two detectives assigned
to shadow the couple, first to the the
ater and then to their ultimate destina-
tion. Within a minute after the ar
rival of the third partner and his com
panion one OF the detectives should
knock on the door, which the beautiful

AS an illustration of what business
men sometimes do In the way Of shad-
owing. the following incident sur
passes any other:
Went Almost Too Far.
In the financial district is a firm,
capitalized for many millions, that is
rated In Bradstreet's at AAAl. There
are three partners. Two of the part.
ners did not like the other one. He
was intractable, disagreeabc. hard to
get along with. They decided to get
rid of him and offered to buy him out.
He wouldn't sell. Then they offered
10 sell. He wouldn't buy.
Finally the two hit upon plan.
Their partner had announced his in
tention OF taking trip 10 Europe.
They would send detective with him.
that would be to their advantage. Per.
haps, upon his return, he would be
willing to sell rather than 10 have the
detectives report sent where it would
be read with the greatest interest.
So the partner and the detective de-
parted. The partners visit dragged on
| from week to week, and finally into
months. and upon each returning ship
came the reports OF the man who had
been sent to watch him. But the re-
/ ports were or no interest even to the
men who read them. Their partner
seemed to be conducting himself ad-
mirably, so far as his own interests
were concerned. though quite unfor.
tunately for those who wanted to buy
him out. But they knew him-or
thought they did-and waited for more
reports.
But the rest OF the reports were like
the first, and the man himself came
home without his partners having OBJ
taiped the kind of information they
wanted.
II was then they shufied the deck to
play what they believed was their
trump card.
Pretty Woman as Decoy.
One of the partners had very
pretty cousin, a young woman. She
was summoned to the home OF her
relative and told that important bust
ness considerations made IL desirable
that she perform for them very deli
cate task. She should appear at the
office and go to work. apparently as al
ordinary employe. Her purpose In do
ing so should be to cultivate the ac
quaintance of the third partner. Bu
she should bide her time. There should
be nothing in her conduct toward hin
to suggest to so shrewd a man the pos

would be arrested. Within an hour
after her arrest the whole story
would be wrung from her and war

Again the Feminine Element.
On another occasion a firm OF big
operators wanted TO get inside infor-
nation concerning a multi-millionaire's
ultimate plans for the development OF
great property. There was no use
of sending men to brush up against
him. He never talked to men. But he
had evidently promised his aged grand
mother he would never be unkind to
a woman, so they determined TO cap
italize this trait OF his character.
From no one knows where they en-
listed the services OF as pretty wom-
an as ever rode down Fifth avenue.
In a few days she appeared at the
hotel in which the great capitalist
made his home. She was beautiful
enough to be conspicuous in any COM
pany-diffident enough to make her
attractiveness compelling. She neither
sought nor declined introductions TO
others, passing her time as any well
bred woman in affiuent circumstances
might wish to do. AS good an automo-
bile as is made in France took her
from and to the hotel. And the car
bore her monogram.
