Washington financiers took much in
terest yesterday in the newspaper re-
ports Of Secretary MacVeagh's remarks
In Atlantic City relative to the investi-
cation into the money trust and the
need for reform in the banking and cur
rency system of the United States. Mr..
MacVeagh designated the investigation
by Congress as an inevitable result of
the attitude assumed by the Monetary
Commission In its declaration that no
such thing existed.
The Secretary declared that a thing
does exist which is a natural develop
ment in finance, which may be called a
money trust or any other name con-
venient to describe It. He said the con-
centration of bank interests in the hands
OF few men and the welding Of enor-
nous influence by few institutions in
New York presided over by these men
was the thing to be Investigated. He
said II was a money trust only in name
but that the condition and the practices
Of certain large financial institutions in
New York must be and would be inves-
tigated. Secretary MacVeagh does not
believe that the concentration of bank
wealth exists to any great extent out
side OF New York, and he thinks its
presence there is a concomitant of the
natural growth Of financial affairs, that
in fraught with great danger to tho ma
ton unless recognized. perhaps con-
strained. and at least controlled by some
power with greater authority than itself

power in New York necessarily as an

point, in that II shows to what enor-

increase IN the number OF stations is,
amazing, and the truth is empha zedl
In this report as nowhere else, perhaps.
that the telephone has become a neces-

is statement by the president that

probable point OF mobilization for an

Novel Irrigation Experiment.

Meeker.-An unusual irrigation prof
ect, which is being watched by the
Western slope with interest, is being
tried on what is known here as Blair
mesa, twenty-seven miles from Meek
er. The major part of the land on this
mesa - 500 acres = is owned by
Phelps brothers. 1t is unusually good
land, the soil being rich, but it has
been impossible to get water to it by
ditch from any stream of the county,
with the result that the land remained
vacant until the Phelps brothers filed
on it. The idea of the brothers is to
install turbine pumping plant, with
canals and iaterals, which will auto
matically raise the water to the level
of the land and then distribute it
evenly.

LIKE THE WOLF AND LAMB
Inoffensive Creatures Most Unjustly
Charged With Sudden Attack
of 6loodthirstiness.

A man who was caught in the act
cred his embarrassment by declaring
that no sheep could bite him and
live. The logic OF this is equaled by
that of the Yankee soldier who once
had narrow escape from an enraged
gander. The men of certain Maine
regiment, which was in the enemy's
country in 1862, considered the order
mo foraging' an additional and un-
called-for hardship. One afternoon
about dusk. a soldier was seen beat
ing rapid retreat from the rear OF a
farmhouse near by, closely pursued
by a gander with wings outspread,
whose feet seemed scarcely to touch
the ground. and from whose beak is
sued succession of angry screams.
The fugitive was not reassured by the
cries of the gander's owner: Hold
you!" Call off your gander! Call
him off" shouted the fleeing soldier.
Neither man nor gander stopped un-
til inside the camplines, when the sol
diers friends relieved him of his
fierce pursuer with the aid of the butt
of q musket. Did that gander think
he could chase me like that and
live!" the soldier exclaimed, as he
surveyed the outstretched bird; but
he said nothing of the baited hook,
with codline attached, which might
have thrown light on the unfortunate
sander's strange actions.
