POLITICAL.

Some Democratic members Of the
new House of Representatives are lay
ing plans for an onslaught on the Re-
publican attitude toward extending the
scope of pension expenses. Represen-
tative Cullop of Indiana announced his
intention to reintroduce at the extra
session bill providing for a pension
of 81 day for every man who served
ninety days in the Civil War and was
mustered in and mustered out, and the
same amount for every man who
served sixty days in the Mexican war,
of whom about 5000 are said to be liv-
ing.
President Taft's immediate call TOR
an extra session of Congress in April
puts new face on the reciprocity
situation and may, in the opinion OF
some of the opponents, as well as the
champions of the proposed agree
ment, save the cause in Canada from
any peril it may have incurred by the
failure of the United States Senate to
indorse the plan. 1t is generally con-
ceded that II a reciprocity session OF
Congress had not been summoned and
ratification had been left to the ses-
sion next fall, the Canadian advocates
of the plan might have been dis
heartened and probably parliament
would follow the example Of Congress,
leaving ratification to its chances at
the succeeding session.

Big Colorado Crops Assured.

New Windsor.-The Significance OF
the last snow on top of that Of week
or more prior to it can scarcely be
realized by most OF us.
But most everybody agrees that
crops for this year are virtually as
sured by 1t so far as moisture is con
cerned for this year, not only in the
irrigated belt but in the dry sections
as well.
A no more timely storm ever Wis
tied this part of Colorado. Frost was
pretty we'll out of the ground and ev-
cry bit of the moisture is being alb.
sorbed by the soil. The snow drifted
but little, and the moisture is pretty
evenly distributed over hill and vale.
The fields are saturated with suffi-
cient moisture to bring up the crops
and maintain them until Irrigation be
gins, even If no more falls. But many
old residents are of the opinion thai
the wet period has just begun and
that there will be an abundance OF
moisture. This spring is conceded to be
the best for this time of the year in
at least four seasons. If not the best
in eight or ten years.

SEC. BALLINGER
HAS RESIGNED
PRESIDENT RELUCTANTLY Ac-
cEPTs HIS RESIGNATION AND
DENoUNcEs HIS ENEMIES.
RETURNS TO SEATTLE
WALTER LowRiE FISHER IS
NOW THE SECRETARY OF
THE INTERIOR.

Washington.-The resignation OF
Richard A. Ballinger OF Seattle as sec
retary of the interior was accepted
to-day by President Taft and Walter
l. Fisher of Chicago was appointed as
his successor.
In his letter of acceptance the Presi-
dent expressed deep regret and bitter
ly denounced the enemies Of Ballinger.
1t appears in the correspondence
between the President and Mr.. Bal
linger, which was given out by the
White House, that the secretary's res
ignation has been in the Presidents
hands since January 18th; that it was
held in suspense at the request of
Mr.. Taft and that the latter accepted
it at the urgent request of Mr.. Bal
Hnger.
In giving his consent to the secre-
tary's retirement, Mr.. Taft takes occa-
sion to declare with emphasis his un-
changing faith in the integrity, the
motives and the official standards of
Mr. Ballinger, and his unmeasured in
dignation at the methods OF those who
assailed him, declaring that he has
been "the subject of one of the most
unscrupulous conspiracies for the de-
famation of character that history can
show.
The secretary later. in a written
statement, expressed the intention to
return to Seattle and. after rest, re-
sumo the practice of law. He says his
defense has cost him not less than $685.
900 and that he is now poor man.
At the same time he declared it his
purpose to prosecute the arch-con-
spirators who have been following me
