PRESIDENT CUTS
DOWN HIS DEMAND
White House viii Now BE Salts.
fled With Four Administra-
tiOn Measures.
UNLIMITED AUTHORITY TO
WITHDRAW PUBLIC LANDS
Believed Postal Savings Bank
Bill Will Pass Senate
During Week.

WASlllNGTON, Feb. 20.-Thc an
nouncement from the White House that
President Taft had. by his own motion,
cut down TO four the number of admin.
lstratlon measures he would demand at
the present session Of congress. is re-
ceived by Republican leaders with uu-
mixed feelings Of relief, The admin
lstration programme was so formidable
that members warmly supporting tho
Taft policies hardly knew where TO be
gip.
A schedule including only the bills
to amend the interstate commerce laws,
20 regulate the issuance of iniunctions
to start Arizona and New Mexico on
the road TO statehood. aud TO validate
the Withdrawals of public lands for
conservation purposes, is regarded as
quite possible Of attainment
Most OF these measures, II Is believed,
can be put through the senate while
the house is wrestling with appropria.
tion bills.
When ii was reported at the capitol
yesterday that the president would be
satisfied with the enactment of tho
four measures named. steps We're taken
TO bring all these matters out of com
mittees at the earliest possible moment.
foSI3l Bill 10 be HaSSeu.
The postal savings bank bill already
is before the scnate and an agreement
between supporters of conflicting
amendments is assured. 1t is regarded
as practically certain that the bill can
be passed this week,
Hearings have been closed by the
senate committee on interstate com
mercc on the bill 80 create commerce
court and 10 strengthen existing laws
for the regulation Of common carriers.
The committee will meet tomorrow
when au effort viii be made 30 report
I the bill. There is some prospect that
| this NAV be done. Although the senate
could not be ready 10 ia kc UP the .ra,l'
road bill until late in the week, 1t Is
being argued by members of the com.
| mittoo that the bill should be reported,
So AS TO have il printed aud give sena-
| tors few DAYS in which 20 study ITS
provisions.
As soon rs the postal savings banks
bill is out of the way. the railroad bill
will be made tho order of business and
probably will be before the senate con
| stantlv until passed. except for the linn
! tied time that must be given TO appro
| priatiou bills.
No decision has been reached in the
! house committee on interstate commerce
on the proposition TO eliminate from
| the administration bill the provision
| for the creation Of a court Of com
mercc. Even IL his be done, 1t is pr1c
| ticallv certain that the court feature
will be retained bv the senate, and the
question of establishing the new trlb.
uual thus would bc thrown into confer.

WHERE EVERY DROP COUNTS
Yakima Valley Fruit Grower Couldn't
Afford to Have Rain Fall on
His Hired Man.

In the Yakima valley, Washing
ton, where the big apples are grown,
and bearing orchards sell at $1,000
an acre, rain is scarce. Irrigation
is practiced everywhere. But now
and then during the growing season
q light rain will fall for few min
utes. These rains are highly priced,
for irrigating water is measured
closely, and served to each user in
proportion to his acreage.
Last summer a fruit grower who
owns 40 acres of orchard was re-
joicing in one Of these precipitations
Of moisture, when one of his hired
men entered the house.
"Why don't you stay in out Of the
rain?" inquired the gruit grower.
"Oh, that's all right" replied the
man. "a little dew like that doesn't
bother me bit; I can work right
along just the same"
"fhat isn't The point: exclaimed
the rancher. "Next time it rains,
you come into the house. / want
that water on the land"

We Notice From Our Exchanges

That man down at Vermillion
stole team of horses on Saturday
night, was caught on Sunday af-
ternoon, had his preliminary hear
ing on Tuesday. pleadsdguilty and
was sentenced on Wednesday, and
landed in the penitentiary on
Thursday. There should be no
complaint as to the laws delay
down in Union county.
That ninety croppies were planted
in the Milbank pond by the gov
eminent fish car last week, in the
hope that they will multiply and
replenish that piscatorial garden.
The Big Stone Headlight says that
Down at Big Stone croppies seem
to require a rocky reef, locally
called croppy bed, in order to
feel at home, and we are not aware
that the artificial pond at Milbank
contains the necessary adjunct.
However it is very likelv that there
are enough empty bottles in the
bottom of their lake to make a fair
substitute"
That the new Hotel Corson is to
have a reopening at Mcintosh
Monday. Homesteaders are invi-
ted to take part in the festivities
which will be free and those COM
ing from distance will be provid-
ed with sleeping quarters.
That Silverberg Brothers of Elk
Point, were fined the other day for
selling bad eggs. Several butchers
down there are also suspected Of
selling lard adulterated with tallow.
That the city of Pierre sold over
700 600 feet of natural gas from its
artesian wells in November, be-
side having enough to furnish pow
er for the city water and light
plant. The wells show an average
flow of about 8o,o feet day.
