Four-COunty Fair Certain.

The Four County Fair. which has
been projected for some time, has takeu
definite shape and can now be put down
as one of the things certain. A cor
poration has been formed, known as
the Laurel Four County Fair Qnc).'
which corporation has taken little to
the 8S acre tract of land in Anne Arun-
del County, just--east of Laurel, from
the Safe Deposit & Trust Co., of Balti-
more.
The fair is to be a mechanical and
agricultural fair, and with the excellent
railroad facilities and fine location,
there is no reason why it should not be
a success.
Architects Porter, Thomas & Rice,
of Baltimore, are engaged on plans for
the grand stand, administration build
ing, exhibition stalls, etc., and work
will begin on the same as soon as the
weather will permit.

Prince Georgians Awake

The Baltimore Sun of yesterday said:
By far the most interesting meeting
yet held by any delegation took place
Wednesday when over so residents of
this county invaded the Capitol to dis
cuss with their representatives two
pending measures. Of these, one pro-
vides for the establishment of school
at the District Line, while the bone of
contention was DR.. Wells bill to relieve
the County Commissioners of the care
of roads and place it in the hands of
a road board, to be created.
After mild and amicable discussion
the school proposition was Endorsed by
the delegation and, on motion of Mr..
Marbury, will be favorably reported to
the house.
On the road proposition, however,
arose great opposition, practically every
one present being averse to the change
contemplated by DR.. Wells bill. Fore
most among the opponents was former
Speaker J. Enos kay.
The position of the delegation was
left underlined, although Mr.. Marbury
is outspoken against the bill, with Mr..
Connick open to conviction and Messrs.
Crowley and Thorne are favorably in
clined to the measure.

William Dent, colored, was arrested
and lodged in jail here by Sheriff
Sweeney on Saturday morning last,
charged with shooting Joseph Curtis,
his brother-in-law, at their home about
mile east of Marlboro
According to statement made by
Maria, Curtis wife, before a Notary
Public in Washington, it happened

then picked up a chair and Dent went
into the other room after revolver.
Maria said she and Lucy took the chair
away from Curtis at this time and ask
ed him to stop fighting to which he con-
sented. Dent then came out of the
room with the revolver and they, the

Saturday morning train, accompanied
by Maria, and when they arrived at
18th and H streets, N. E., policeman

examination after the body was brought
here, and OF Maria as to the shooting,
they rendered verdict t'that Joseph

were Offset by a reduction of 1000
In the purchase price, allowed by the
Arm that sold 1t to the city.
A World representative visited the
plant one day last week. and also
yesterday when 1t was shut down. An
air of mystery Is suggested from the
outside Of the building, but the en-
trance is not locked or surmounted
with a mo admittance'' sign. The
engineer, Mr.. Glavish, is glad to show
the details of the plant to those who
are interested. As nearly as the
World man was able to tell, every
thing about the plant is all right
until it's capacity shall be reached.
Sand Makes Expense.
Sand is a serious factor in the
operation of a piston pump. 1t is
worse here than in many places and
quickly wears the valves. One of the
faults in the original installation is
an air chamber that is much too
small. A larger one will be put In
soon and the present vibration will
be considerably lessened then. Sand
and vibration keep the engine busy
now. The plant is large one and
time is required to get 1t to running
smoothly, especially as the original
installation was not we'll done. Mr..
Glavish can be found on the job long
before, and long after, the regular
working hours, nursing the ugly
duckling" into efficiency. Gradually
he is remedying the evils done by the
contractors of a cheap job, saying
that he wants the next man to find
things in good shape.

considerable experience In irrigation
projects in the Hawaiian Islands
was secured to prepare the plans for
pumps, make surveys and complete
information of the projects with this
report, which was very favorable as
to the feasibility of the project. Mr..
Hollister came and looked over the
project last August and agreed to
take it over, but the original transfer
OF the project was not made until
last December, while Mr.. Morrow
was in Chicago. Mr.. HOLSTER wired
Mr. McConihe to come to Chicago to
complete the arrangements. Mr..
HOLSTER interested Senator Petit
grew, who put in some money, and
with Morrow and Senator Pettigrew
purchased the N. P. railways lands,
IL the name of Senator Pettigrew.
The leading party in the deal is Hol-
listsr, though he has interested Pet
tigrew, Armour and others in the
deal. The contract with the railroad
people calls for $4,000 acres under
water the first year, and work to be-
gin within 80 days. Work has al
ready COMMIT MED. HOLSTER is now
active at work on the final incorpora-
ton of the company and the money
already raised for the first years
expenditure, which will abount to-
100000. Contractors will soon be
on the field at the lower end Of the
lake. Morrow further testified that
Mr.. McConihe would have closed the
deal several times had 1t not been
that he insisted upon protecting the
desert land owners. One party in
particular offered to close at very
favorable terms, only that they did
not want to assume the arrangements
already entered into by Mr.. McConi-
he with the desert land owners.
They had preferred to ignore the des-
ert land owners, and thereby eventu-
ally, when the land had reverted to-
the government, to take it up them
selves under the desert laws. All
these developments would never had
been made had it not been for the
efforts of McConihe All the desert
land owners have been taken care
of, the Hollister people assuming the
contracts between McConihe and thel
desert land owners. Morrow stated
that he was interested to some ex-
tent. and knew all these statements
to be facts as he was there and knew
of all the transactions. In regard toI
Scheffel's connection, he said that he
never met Mr. Scheffel personally
but knew that he was working for
Pettigrew by the month, and Mr.
Hollister paid his share of the ex-
penses while he was working on this
deal.
Several cases are yet to be heard
before Commissioner Davis and the
time set for taking the evidence isl
April 20 and May l. All of this evil
dence will be submitted to the land

the diversion works is estimated at
$3,100,000 and the storage system
at S37, 900. It is expected that ac-
ton will be taken after the chief en-
gineer has conferred with engineers
on the ground. The committee has
also received advices from Topper
ish, Wash, that reports submitted at
meeting of the Yakima High Line
Canal association show a new pro-
ject, from 100. to 14O miles, covering
100000 acres in the Yakima valley,
is feasible from engineering and fl
nancial standpoints. Chief Engineer
Anderson says an ample water sup
ply will be available, whether the
canal Is built by the reclamation SER
vice or by private capital.

BIG PUMP NOT BIG.
ENOUGH
GOOD RESULTS AT PUMPING
PLANT BUT CITY'S GROWTH
EXCEEDS EXPECTATIONS-AD-
DITTONS SOON NEEDED.

Statistics throughout the United
States show that 200 gallons of wa
ter a day must be provided for every
one of city's inhabitants. This
showing calls for supply of 1,OOO,-
600 gallons daily to a city of 5000
population. The big pump at the
city pumping plant has that capacity
for 24-hour run and at present
has to run more than half a day to
keep the head up in the reservoir.
AS the summer season gets under
way more water will be used for gar
den irrigation so that it can be seen
that the capacity of the big pump
will just about be called upon this
year.
No Loss to Taxpayers.
The purchase of another pump will
entail no waste of the city's funds.
Any machine is liable to accidents
and more reliable service can be
guaranteed the city when another
pump has to be put in than if one
pump of sufficient capacity had to
be relied upon. The present one will
do for a long time to come for de-
livering as much water as it was
planned for, and the rest of the in
stallation, building, pipe line. dyna-
mos and tunnel is ample for several
times the present population. Some
misimpression exists about the value
of the pumping plant The only
point that can be disputed at all is
that about the worth of the big
pump. The building, tunnel, dyna-
mos and pipe line are ample, prac-
teal and permanent. Those items
represent the great bulk of the ex-
pense and their value to the city is
beyond dispute. The big pump alone
is the only detail that can be as
sailed, and it's relation to the ex-
pense of the entire plant is small.
Pump Does the Work.
AS a thing of beauty the pump is
not a bowling success. 1t Is rough
and clumsy looking, and is no orna-
ment to an expensive installation.
But like a homely horse, its capacity
for work is not effected by the way
it looks Unexpected expenses were
encountered on account of the way
it was put in, but those expenses

In the case of Stewart VS.. Morrow
more than passing interest was in
jected into the case by the evidence
of G. w. Morrow, who by his connec-
tion with the project was able to
give some inside working of the plan
to irrigate the railroad and desert
lands around Moses lake The gist
of his testimony was as follows:
Mr.. Morrow testified that soon ar
ter filing his desert claim he took
hold of the matter to finance the
project The attorney for the Mil
waukee railroad told him that he
had some parties that would finance
it and referred him to the president
of the First National bank of Chica-
go, but Mr.. McConihe insisted upon
not taking the matter away from
the people he was already dealing
with, without first giving them the
opportunity. Later that deal fell
through, and through Mr. Ton the
project was next taken up with Mr.
HOLSTER who is the financial agent
of Kuhn Bankers of Pittsburg. Cap
