Used to Repair Break, to Be Used
at Presidents Discretion.

WASHINGTON, June 25.-PresIdent
Taft today sent a special message TO
congress urging the placing at his dis
posal Of a suitable sum of money to
meet the exigency of the situation OIL
the lower Colorado river which threatens
serious loss of life and property.
The senate Immediately adopted Joint
resolution appropriating S1.OOO,OOO for
protection against damage by that
stream.
The presidents message said:
II suggest the passage of a joint reso
luton putting at my disposal a suitable
sum to meet this exigency. This is the
same locality in which a break occurred
in 1905 and was remeded by Mr.. Harri,
man, acting on the request of my pre-,
decessor. 1t seems likely that immedi-
ate steps ought to be taken to prevent
great destruction of life and property.
II suggest that the resolution author
izing the expenditure of this money or
either side of the international boundary
and the president be authorized to secure
the permission of the Republic of Mex.

RAIN WOFTH MANY MILLIONS
Nearly All Of Nebraska Given Good
Soaking Friday Night.
RAIN COMES WHEN 1T IS NEEDED
Railroad Reports Show Three inche'
at Grand Island and that the
Entire State West of FREE
mont is Wet.

Nebraska farmers were happy Saturday
because of the general rain which fell over
the entire western portion OF the state
Friday night and Saturday morning. The
moisture covered the entire state north
and south as far east as Havelock and was
quite heavy in many places. The average
downfall from Grand Island to North
Platte was three inches, one of the heaviest
rains for years in this section of the
state.
All of the railroads doing business in the
state show by their morning weather re-
ports that the rain was general through
out the western part Of the state, where II
was most needed. The farmers feel as
sured now of excellent crops and have
ceased to worry about the weather. The
eastern rim of Nebraska is still dry, but
things are not in as bad shape as painted
by many and with the exception of the
pastures no crops are suffering from the
lack of rain. A rain, however, would be a
great blessing to the eastern farmers, but
the situation is not critical without the

Speculation Is rife among Omaha demo-
Gratis as to the exact significance of the
filing of Gilbert NJ. Hitchcocks name as a
candidate for the congressional nomination.
1t is a puzzling question among the leaders
as to whether the filing is on the square,
or simply made TO protect the interests of
Comptroller Lobeck Laurie J. Quinby and
S. Arlon Lewis, the candidates already in
the field.
Unless Mr. Hitchcock files an acceptance
within five days of the filing with the
secretary OF state he will be effectually
foreclosed from entering the congressional
race in the event w. j. Bryan declares
himself in the senatorial race when he
looks over the mass of petitions that will
| be presented to him on his return from
Europe.
The petition is headed by the name OF
| John M. Welch, who was for three years
city meat inspector in Mayor Dahlman's
first term.

o'clock Saturday morning.
Burlington reports that moisture averag-
ing from half to an inch fell over the
entire McCOok division and the Sterling di-
vision showed light rains. Rock Island re-
ports a rain of two and an eighth inches

at Athol Havelock had light rains, being
the town farthest east in the state, reported
by the railroads to have had rain.
The Northwestern reports that there was
good rain at Stockholm and west on the
