BORAH is WELL, PLEASED
$40, 100000 Practically Assured For
The Completion of The Recla-
nation Work.

Washington, March 7. - After
a brief general discussion the senate
today passed the bill authorizing the
issuance of $50, 100000 worth of GER
tificates of Indebtedness for the COM
pletion of irrigation projects already
under way.
The bill is intended to supply
enough money to finish these works
and it is contemplated that the GER
tificates will be retired by money de-
rived from the sale of lands redeem
ed by the improvements.
Senator Clay of Georgia made a
speech in opposition to the principle
involved rather than against the bill
itself. He predicted that the time
would come when direct annual ap-
preparation of SO or 60 million dol
lars would be necessary to carry on
the reclamation work. He entered
into general discussion of govern
ment expenditures, saying he consid-
cred as useless all the efforts made
to reduce the vast sum-
These investigations by commits
sions invariably cost more than they
save,' he asserted.
Mr.. Clay then referred to Senator
Aldrich's statement that If he were
running the government he would re-
duce expenditures $300,000,O
Messrs. Bailey and Hepburn ex-
pressed the opinion that the public
lands should be turned over to the
several states. There was no divis-
ion on the reclamation bill vote.

TRIP WAS A GREAT SUCCESS
Following is "a Partial List of the

Hunter, Teddy

Gondokoro, March 3-Colonel
Roosevelt and the others of his i'm
mediate party sailed today for Khar-
toum where they expect to arrive on
March 10Th. With their departure
the African scientific expedition I'M
der the auspices of the Smithsonian
institute of Washington was brought
to close.
Coolnel Roosevelt considers the
killing of the giant Glands in his rec
ent excursion along the upper reaches
of the Nile was a fitting ending of
a marvelously successful trip. The
results generally from the standpoint
of the hunter and the scientist, have
exceeded all expectations.
Colonel Roosevelt and his son,
Kermit, killed. some 500 specimens
of large mammals. The bag included
the following: Seventeen lions, eleven
elephants, ten buffaloes, ten black
rhinoceroses, nine white rhinoceroses
nine hippopotaim, nine CRATES, three
leopards, several cheetas, three giant

and two bongos.
est of science, and the specimens will
be disposed of accordingly, the great
er number going to the Smithsonian
institution. Mr.. Roosevelt will retain
not more than six trophies for him
self.
From the points of Importance the
mist highly priced game may be rat
ed as follows: First, the giant Glands.
the first complete specimens of which
are now being taken from the coun-
try; second, the white rhinoceros;
third, the bongos, the first to be stalk
ed and killed by white man, and
fourth, the sitatunga, species of an
telope.
The naturalsis secured a selection
composing many thousands of birds
and other animals. The results in
this line have been most gratifying
and science will be enriched by sew
eral new species and an enormous SER
les OF the smaller mammals of Africa.
The game taken and the collections
made constitute a worlds record for
a similar period of hunting and scien-
tific research in Africa and the Amer
lean museums will receive the great
est collection of African fauna in ex-
istence. All agree that too much
praise cannot be accorded R. J. Cum
ninghame, the Englishman whose
management of the expedition was
as nearly perfect as could be con-
ceived.
Colonel Roosevelt will now devote
his time to writing, including he pre-
paraion of the address which he is to
deliver in Europe. He will do no
more hunting unless during the trip
down the Nile chance throws in his
way an opportunity to secure some
rare specimens.

A GREAT GARDENING PAPER

The February issue of the Fruit
Grower, st. Joseph, Mo-. is the an
|nual Gardening Number of that publ
cation, and it is by far the best issue
ever printed. 1t consists of eighty
pages and cover, full of live articles
on horticultural subjects, a speciality
being made of gardening articles.
One feature of the gardening arti-
cles is report of award of prizes in
the radish growing contest conducted
by the Fruit-Grower in 1909. The
publication sent out thousands of
packages of seed of the big Japanese
radish, "Sakurajima," and announced
that prizes would be given for the
largest radishes grown from these
seeds. In the annual Gardening num-
Der the awards are announced, the
first prize going to a Massachusetts
man who raised radish weighing
twenty-three pounds.
This large radish is of the highest
quality, the flesh being tender and
crisp. 1t is a good keeper, and when
harvested late in autumn will keep
well into winter. The radishes can
be eaten raw or cooked like turnips
and in whatever way they are serv-
ed they are delicious.
In addition to discussing various
phases of gardening, the February
Fruit-Grower contains latest infor-
nation on spraying of trees and
plants, feature is made of reports
of horticultural meetings, the Denver
apple show. The entire paper is fully
illustrated, and is representative of
the increasing interest in horticul-
tural subjects. The Fruit-Grower's
subscription rate is 81 per year, but
a sample copy will be sent free by
addressing the Fruit-Grower, st.

MILO MAIZE IN THE WEST

Milo should have the same place
as a feed grain in dry land farming
that corn has in Iowa and Illinois.
Every dry land farmer should plant
from twenty to forty acres and should
give it the thorough cultivation that
Is given corn to secure a large yield.
This will not interfere with the work
of wheat raising, and in most years
will insure an abundance of grain for
work horses, beef and dairy cattle,
hogs and poultry.
There are few seasons so dry that
when well cultivated, milo will not

WILSON MAY LOOSE HIs JOB
elimination of PinchOt Row Will
Probably Result i'm Retirement
of Agricultural Head

Washington. d. c., March Sec
rotary of Agriculture James Wilson S
service in President Taft's cabinet is
to be brief. This is the general be-
lief in Washington, although Presi-
dent Taft would not acknowledge it
today, and, in fact, sustained Mr.
Wilson.
The retirement of Secretary Wilson
is believed to be imminent because
of his testimony in the Ballinger-Pin-
chot hearing yesterday.
Pinchot's Story Believed
On the stand Mr.. Wilson plainly
showed that he had not been alert in
his management of the department
during the controversy between the
forestry bureau and Secretary Balm
ger.
The testimony of Secretary Wilson
and that of Mr.. Pinchot, taken to-
gether, showed that Wilson had trust
ed Pinchot, and given him permission
to write a letter to Senator Dolliver
on departmental matters.
Responsible For Attack
Later, when the carbon copy of
the letter to Dolliver was shown by
Mr.. Pinchot to Secretary Wilson, the
Secretary discovered that Mr.. Pinchot
had written an attack on the presi-
dent.
The development that Mr.. Wilson
is capable of being misled by his
subordinates and that he leans on
others in the serious consideration to
the advisers to the President. 1t is
being pointed out that Mr.. Wilson's
health is failing, and that he is Is
years old. His ambition to serve in
the cabinet longer than any other
man has been gratified. He is serv-
ing in his thirteenth year. having
been appointed Secretary of Agricul-
ture in 1897 by President Mckinley.

ASKS THAT LAND BE PATENTED
TO STATE OF IDAHO
State Land Board Accepts Decision of
Supreme Court and Asks Sec
rotary of the Interior to Act

The state board of land commits
sioners at meeting held today adop-
ted resolutions requesting the secre-
tary of the interior to promulgate his
decision patenting the Marble Creek
lands, valued at approximately $780,
900 to the state, as was suggested
by the supreme court in discussion of
the question of modification of the
recent opinion as was contemplated
by the attorney general. The action
of the board is taken as precluding all
hope of the settlers ever acquiring IT,
tie under the adverse claims which
were of no avail before the federal
authorities.
The action of the board in adopting
the resolutions was unanimous, all
four members of the board including
Governor James H. Brady, Secretary
of State Lansdon, Attorney General
McDougall and State Superintendent
Miss Belle S: Chamberlain being pres
ent. Through the action taken, the
board accepts the adverse opinion of
the supreme court on the demurrer
of the attorney general on behalf of
the land board to the application of
William Balderston for a writ of pro-
hibition restraining the board from
acting on the report of the Marble
Creek legislative homestead commits
sion appointed by the tenth legisla-
ture.
The decision of the secretary of in
terror, by which it is understood the
lands in question will be patented to
the state, has been withheld for over
a year but in view of the action of
the land board in adopting resolutions
it is anticipated that the decision will
in short time become matter of
record and title of the Marble Creek
lands pass to the state as against the
claims of settlers, who by the recon-
mendations of the legislative home
stead commission were to receive a
portion of their lands in such in
stances where it was clearly shown
that the entrymen were bonafide set
tiers.

BARRELS OF MONEY
Now Being Invested in All Parts of
the NOrthwest-Lands of All
Kinds Bring High Prices

Seattle, March 8-There is more
money being invested today in tim
Der, fruit lands and iogged-off lands
in Washington, Oregon, Idaho and
British Columbia than ever before in
the history of the Northwest. One
reason advanced for this by local
capitalists is that such investments
offer greater inducements in the way
of fortune making than does invest
ments in city property. There was
a time when men with money for
good speculations turned to such
cities as Seattle, Tacoma, Spoakne,
Portland and other large cities of
the Northwest, but now prices have
reached that state where there is no
longer any chance to speculate. The
man with big fortune can continue
to buy city realty, improve it and
make money but who with small
fortune, which it is hoped to double
or triple, must look elsewhere than
the cities If he wants to be success
full Shrewd business men with an
eye to the future do not hesitate to
say that the fortunes of the future as
will come from the timber logged
off lands and fruit lands of the
Northwest. During the past few
weeks a number of rich Seattle men
have invested heavily in Oregon and
Idaho lands and they say they are
more than pleased with their in
vestments. 1t is the intention to cut
up this land into small farms and sell
them to settlers. A big rush is ex-
pected this spring, for the railroads
have been extensively exploiting the
country and are ocering special in
ducements to settlers. Thousands of
new people are expected to locate in
the three states within the next year.
Every state will get its share. The Hill
roads declare that the next few
months will witness a wonderful rush
from the east and middle west to the
Pacific Northwest. This is informa-
ton based upon the heavy inquiry for
rates made to eastern agents of the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern.

CANADIAN coINERs LONG RAF-
FLED AUTHORITIES.
Peculiar History Of "BIacksmith" To-
kens That Are Interesting to Nu-
mismatists-Began With Ne
cessity for Small Change.

A good deal has been heard of late
years among coin collectors about the
so-callea Blacksmith" tokens of
Canada. The unsatisfactory con-
dttton of the currency in Canada up
to comparatively recent times ex-
plains the reason for the issue of such
coins.
For many years the supply Of legal
copper coins had been altogether in
adequate. so that often anything in
the shape of copper passed current.
At the beginning Of the nineteenth
century the only legal copper circu-
latfng medium was an insufficient and
diminishing supply of worn out Brit
ish half pence sent over from Eng
land.
A little later this was supplemented
by deluge of imported private to-
kens. Their overabundance, accord
ing to writer in the Numismatist,
soon caused them to be discredited
and stringent means were adopted to
prevent further importation of such
coin into Canada or it's manufacture
there.
But as the necessity for an adequate
supply of small change became more
pressing, various ways for evading the
blockade were evolved. One of these
was by making or importing tokens
which bore date previous to the
date of the edict excluding private
coins. Another way, which was at
one time very prevalent in England,
was to evade the counterfeiting laws
by suppressing the legends and SUBJ
shutting instead some capricious ar
meaningless legend, as "Claudius Ro-
manus," "Georgius I'll Rox,'' George
Rules" Chorus Ter Wis.," etc. These
spurious coins presented the same
general appearance to the ignorant
populace as the regal coinage.
A third means. and this is charac-
teristic of the Canadian Blacksmiths,
was by counterfeiting the worn Brit
ish half pence, the only legal copper
coins In circulation, on which the
date, legend and all but an indistinct
outline of the design had been effaced.
Although they thus produced rude
coinage these early Canadian coiners
showed considerable skill in SO ma
king fresh coins bear the appearance
of an old worn out but still legal cur
rency that they were able to circu-
late vast quantities of their spurious
limitations. 1t is worth noting that
the designs on these Blacksmiths
often face in the opposite direction to
their prototypes.
AS an explanation of their name the
story is told that blacksmith of dis
solute habits lived in Montreal and
when he wished to have a good
time struck two or three dollars of
these coppers and thereby supplied
himself with sufficient change to graf
lily his wishes The name was
adopted by numismatists and applied
to the whole series.
