WITH LOSS
OF MAINE
WAS RESULT OF DESIGN

Associated Press.
Kansas oity, Mo-. Nov. 2.=Lectur-
ing at st. Georges church here last
night Colonel Jasper Ewing Brady,
one of the four officers sent by the
government to investigate the de-
struction of the battleship Maine in
Havana harbor on February IA, 1898,
declared that the mine which de-
stroyed the ship was planted by Gu
bans in order to bring on war with
Spain and the deliverance of Cuba.
He further asserted that this infor-
nation had been sent to the president
and secretary of war.
The former officer in his talk de-
scribed the condition of the Maine af-
ter the explosion. and gave reasons
for his statement that the ship had
been blown up by mine.
According to his statement con-
cerning the matter. the false bottom
of the vessel was blown to pieces and
particles thereof fell on the decks of
the ships that were near by at the
time.
Now l will tell you for the first
time the name of the man who blew
up the Maine said Colonel Brady
He is or was Jose Zavaldo He was
was he who threw the switch which
set off the powerful mine that de-
stroyed that ship and sent 207 lives
into eternity in fash. Zavaldo was
afterwards shot by order of General
Blanco.
"We even got proof of the cable
that led from the mine to room in
MORO castle. That piece of cable is
now in the navy department at Wash
ington."
Colonel Brady resigned from the
army in 1909.
When asked this morning why the
report given to the president and sec
retary Of war had not been made pub
lie, he said: We'll. I'm sure l don't

Associated PresA
Paris, Nov. 2.-The cabinet of Pre-
mier BRAND, which succeeded the
Clemenceau ministry on July 23,
1909, Unexpectedly resigned today. in
consequence of the bitter attacks that
were made in the chamber of deputies
on the governments action in sup
pressing the recent strike and its pro-
posed legislation for the avoidance Of
similar crisis in the future.
The strong republican majority in
the chamber had voted confidence in
the government; but. at meeting of
the ministers, dissensions developed.
and BRAND announced that new and
serious problems had grown out of
the recent labor trouble that must be
met by united ministry. Accord
ingly he suggested the retirement Of
himself and his associates.
President Fallieres this morning
asked M. BRAND to form a new cab
met, and the latter accepted.
1t is expected that M. BRAND will
remodel the retiring ministry in har-
mony with his views on preliminary
program to meet the crisis resulting
from the strikes.

Governor Thomas Address.
Mr.. Thomas prefaced his remarks
with historic review of recent years
with special reference to political
changes. He declared that political
history had been made rapidly during
the last two years and prophesied
that If the next two years witnessed
similar changes the nation would be
facing startlingly new problems. He
said that the events Of recent and
present times were those of a coming
political and. social upheaval where
the issue would be that of the priv
ileged classes against the masses.
He contrasted the extra session of
congress with the extra session of the

Lisbon, Nov. 2.-The new republic
of Portugal is threatened with a mill
itary revolution.

addressed round robin to Provision
al President Braga declaring that
they We're prepared for an insurrec-
ton If they were not granted prom
ised promotions and pensions for
helping to overthrow the late mon
archy.
The government will probably yield
to the demands.
The royalists who have adhered to
the republic demand the same re-
wards as the revolutionists proper
seek to exact.
The revolution crew of the cruiser
San Raphael. which bombarded the
royal palace during the revolutionary
outbreak, has been dismissed.
The crew of the cruiser Adamaster,
which also fired upon the home OF
King Manuel, has refused to leave
that vessel unless the members are
guaranteed a pension of 500 a
month each for life.
In order to avoid disasters. it is
likely that the government will grant
all of these demands.
A secret committee, representing
an element that is dissatisfied with
the course of the new government
has been planning a revolution for
some time.

The Good Men Who Stayed
Some of the StandPatters Who By Their Industry and
Long Service Have Helped Make the Idaho
Irrigation Company Famous

1t isn't true that always prophet is
without honor in his own country.
There have been some good men going
away from here, to take up their work
in other fields; good men who are capa-
BILE of filling big positions, as managers,
engineers, experts in their various lines
of business activity. But they weren't t
all the good ones. No, indeed! When
the hunter of good men runs out of
good ones elsewhere, and has already
angled few good ones from Richfeld,
he can sing with lusty chorus,
"There are fish in the sea, no doubt
of it,
AS good as ever came out of it. "
For there are some good men left
here with the Idaho Irrigation company.
Good not only in their business capac-
ity, but as citizens, boosters, actors.
The oldest in point of service is C. D.
Lehmkuhl, assistant secretary of the
company. He has been here three
through the two regimes and
through other changes within those two
periods He came here from Boise,
where he had been in charge of the
Equitable insurance company Office, a
position. That he has
made good in his company activities,
would be superfuous to say-for every
body knows it. He was married here,
he owns considerable town property,
has fine improved farm near town,
and in every way is good type of the
hustling, far-seeing young business
man.
Manager C. H. Fitch, who succeeded
E. M. Blake, has been here almost a
year. There is no more popular man
on the tract. 1t isn't always easy to
keep the whole people in good humor
with any big corporation, even the
most benefcent and public spirited cor
porations, and the men who can do it
as well as Mr.. Fitch is doing are rare
indeed.

The case attracted more than ordi-

The arrest was made on March 4 at
Gooding. The evidence was secused by

THE GREAT BRUNEAU.
Some Facts About the biggest
Irrigation Project.

The Pacific Monthly, the great boost
er magazine for the Northwest, has
this to say of the latest biggest irri-
cation project in tn the world which
of course is in Idaho:
''What is called the largest irrigation
project ever promoted by Independent
capital in Idaho, is about to be under
taken near American Falls, in Southern
1t is planned to build great concrete
dam across Snake River at American
Falls and raise the surface of the water
sufficiently to irrigate approximately
600,0O0 acres of land, reaching from
Bull, in Twin Falls county, west to
Bruneau. The project will take its
name from the latter town. 1t is esti-
mated that all of this land can be reach
ed with water, if the surface can be
raised thirty-four feets. A reservoir
will be created which will extend up the
Snake river to Blackfoot, and almost to
Pocatello on the Portneuf river. The
land that will be reclaimed has hitherto
been southern Idaho cattle and sheep
range, and of little value Expert en-
gineers have been engaged on the pro-
ject for some time and applications have
been made and approved for the segre-
cation of the land, and it is announced
that actual work will begin soon. Plans
for the construction of the dam have
already been approved, and at the time
of the approval in Chicago, the sum of
S5, 500, 900 was paid over to the pro-
moters. 1t is expected that the pro-
ject will cost many millions of dollars
in addition to this amount. This will
be one of the largest irrigation scheme,
yet undertaken in the Inland Empire.
''The promoters further plan to bring
the water power at American Falls un-
der more complete control. Due to the
great volume of water and height of
the falls, this water power site is con-
sdered one of the most valuable in the
west

j. G. Pearson, in charge of the
company demonstration farm ad-
joining town, is making a fine start
on his new work. A house has been
built, barn is in process of con-
struction, the farm is being fenced,
and ten acres is ready to plow, with
all the sage brush grubbed and
burned. He has two teams, a lot
of the best farm machinery, and ex-
perience enough to make the enter
prise go.
About 40 acres will be put out In
crop this season; possibly more, or
the ground can be put in readiness
in time. Two varieties or oats,
one of wheat, one or two of barley,
and alfalfa, clover, timothy, millet
and others crops will be planted. Po-
tatoes and garden vegetables will be
given good trial, especially the po-
tatoes. Mr.. Pearson is not GER

He is from Kansas and Nebraska state

"HUNCH" WAS GOOD.
Agents Guess on RichfieId Spir-
it Sells An $500 Machine.

Don Johnson, travelling represent
ative of the Mergenthaler Linotype
company, was in Richfield Friday.
He came in unannounced, with the
statement that he had a "hunch"
that the Recorder would buy one of
his machines. The "hunch" worked
to a charm, for he didn't have to
talk more than enough to tell his
business, when the Recorder invested
in a machine. 1t is a pretty nervy
proposition to tackle, to invest close
to $4,000 in a machine like that,
that can't farm, or fight, or run
bank, or any of these presumably
profitable things. But the Recorder
publishers believe in the future of
Richfield so strongly that one of

SNAKE RIVER STEAMBOAT
Craft That Can Float On a Good
Heavy Dew.

Last winter Captain Dodd, represent
ing Captain Harry Young, of Portland
was in American Falls investigating the
possibilities of running freight anc
passenger boat from American Falls tc
Blackfoot and after spending two weeks
here returned to Portland with his re-
port. Today there is a second repre-
sentative of the same company here
making a second investigation and going
over the situation more thoroughly.
1t is the purpose of the company to
build upon the river a freighter and
passenger which will be one hundred
feet in length and draw sixteen inches
of water, and operate this boat along
the river for transportation purposes of
both freight and passengers. This boat
will carry $50 net tons and 100 passen-
gers. There is no question in the minds
of the promoters and those who have
investigated the situation but that a
proposition of this kind would pay.
The people at the head of the enterprise
are men versed in the business and are
now operating many freighters of this
kind in other parts. Docks would be
erected along the river and the farmers
could load their produce on the boat for
either this place or Blackfoot. When
the big dam is built across the Snake,
then Pocatello also could be reached.
The company have not yet fully decided
on the matter, but the fact that they
have had two men here within the past
few months looks as though they con-
sidered the matter worth looking into
at least. American Falls Press.
