RUSH OF HoMEsEEKERs
TO THE FAR WEST.
New Mexico is Getting Its Share anG
Government Reclamation Pro-
jects are Favorites.

Washington, June An unusually
spring into various parts of the arid
west is indicated by reports that have
come to the reclamation service. Train
loads of settlers have been pouring
into Montana, Oregon and Washing
ton and large numbers have been
seeking the milder climate of the
southwest.
A cheering feature in connection
with the movement is said to be the
return of thousands of American cit
liens from Canada, offsetting in
measure the exodus of others across
into the dominion. This had grown to
considerable proportions. In the fiscal
year 1909 the departures to Canada
from the United States points aggre-
gated 72,349 persons of whom 41,S71
were citizens. 1t is estimated that
$4,000 of the latter returned.
For the nine months ending March
81, 1920 Americans went to Canada.
Extensive railroad building is now
in progress in Montana, Idaho, Wash
ington and Oregon. The estimate has
been made that an area of 100000
acres of land in Oregon alone soon
will be available for settlement.
On the reclamation projects in all
the states the influx of settlers is rap
idly increasing. At the present rate
of settlement every farm unit includ-
ed in the government projects thus
far completed will be taken up before
the close of the year. On nine of these
projects not single acre of public
lands remains unentered and the re-
naming projects do not contain all
told more than 800 farms available
for settlement.

TROUBLE REPORTED ON
PANAMA CANAL
Enormous Land Slides in the CuIebra
Cut Threaten the Entire Excava-
ton it Seems.

San Antonio, Texas. June THAT
all is not well with the Panama canal,
that the Culebra cut is giving trouble
and that the government may have
to face a labor crisis before long, is
the news brought here by a letter ad-
dressed to B. D. Dittmer Of this city.
The writer of the epistle is employed
in the Office of the treasurer Of the
commission but to give his name
might have serious consequences. Ac-
cording to the informant the sides OF
the Culebra cut are giving way to the
tremendous pressure exerted upon
them and several large slides have al
ready occurred. One of them sent two
million cubic yards of rock and earth
to the bottom of the cut. Moreover,
the Gamboa river has broken through
it's dam above the cut and is liable
to cause great damage at any mo-
ment. Locomotive drivers and me-
chanics in general are beginning to
grow dissatisfied and are looking for
greater Inducements to remain at
their posts.

HlGHWAYMEN AT WORK

Mexico June 7.-Santanons band
of highwaymen a few days ago attack
ed the Bella Vista hacienda in the
southeastern part of the state of OAK
aca, looting the place and killing the

desperate character and a regular
pitched battle may ensue before he is

SPECIAL MESSAGE
FROM PRESIDENT
Wants Clause in Railroad
Bill to Be Put Into Effect
Immediately
GOVERNS INCREASE IN RATES
Gives Interstate Commerce Com
mission Right to Investigate
and Suspend.

Washington, June president
Taft today sent a special message to
Congress in which he recommended
that the clause in the new railroad bill
which gives the Interstate Commerce
Commission power to investigate and
suspend the increased rates filed by
the railroads be modified so as to take
effect Immediately upon the signing
of the act.
AS it stands in the bill, the provis-
ion does not take effect for sixty days.
Washington, June THE Presi-
dent bases his request upon the agree
ment reached with the railroad presi-
dents yesterday whereby the railroads
agree to withdraw all increased rates
until the new law is signed.

GOVERNMENT WINS FIRST
IMPORTANT VICTORY
Expects to Win Back $20,00,o0o Worth
of Coal Lands in Colorado
Alone.

Denver, June THE government
won an apparently important victory
the first it has gained since it be-
gan its prosecutions for alleged land
frauds in the west-in decision
handed down by Federal Judge Lewis
in the Yampa anthracite case. Judge
Lewis held that, although the lands
which the government is now seeking
to recover through equity suits,
were once involved in criminal cases
in which the defendants were dis
charged as not guilty, the results of
that trial do not enter into the chanc-
cry proceedings, and the court over
ruled every motion to have the chanc-
cry suits thrown out of court. Under
this ruling, it is thought, that the gov,
ernment may win back lands in Colo
rado alone worth $20,000,000.

delayed until near the close of the
session, when there will be but slight

DUE TO LACK OF TACT
President of Columbia U. Favors An
nual "Pruning'' of Faculty.


The annual report OF President
Butler of Columbia University. just
out. deals largely with the conduct of
a college on the part OF its instructors.
He SAWS in part: "A teacher or. IN

common sense, has destroyed his aca-
demic usefulness. whatever may be
his intellectual attainments Men who
feel that their personal convictions re-
uuire them to treat the mature opinion
of the civilized world without respect
or with contempt may well be given
an opportunity to do so from 4 private
station and without the added intlu-
ence OF the prestige of a university's
name" DR.. Butler advocates an an
nual pruning of the teaching force OF
Columbia. He says that most of the
increasingly numerous abuses OF aca-
