the company with its usua'
courtesy, accepted the statements
Of the passengers involved, regard

that they were carried thence.
Sue was arrested follow ipg the
theft by Constable G. w. Sharkey,
and his preliminary was held

was held to appear before the next
grand jury and in default Of bail

The real value of the tickets
destroyed may approximate 5000,
the value to the Southern Pacific
alone being $1202, the disparity
in the figures, representing the
probable amount that would be
due connecting railroads for pass

much as the new code provides
that stolen contracts must have
their value computed at the fgurer

people holding them, the Indian
finds himself charged with grand

Wa, cen Ray Baker of the state
penitentiary was yesterday charged

copy Of tbs charges today by
George Cowing, s.cr.tary Of the
BIO ard, and was instructed to ap.
pear before the commissioners al

The filing of the charges by
Oddie follows the refusal o. Baker

whispered in a voice trembling with
emotion that John was coming to see
his dear mother the following week,
and that Mrs. Smithers looked for

Smithers' hand in return AS she did
so she felt a thrill of warmth and
happiness cross her heart.

She listened with something Of the

her mind that she ought to express
her appreciation to Mrs Smithers for

pictured herself as she might be in

Why did she feel 80 hopeful? Well,
hadn't Mrs. Smithers assured her that
John was so attached to his mother
that he wouldn't dream OF falling in
love without his mothers sanction?
And hadn't Mrs. Smithers looked
the world over in vain for a wife
worthy OF John-looked until she was
almost tempted to admit that there

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 a turbine pumping plant, with
canals and laterals, which will auto
matically raise the water to the level
OF the land and then distribute it
evenly.

Harry A. Wheeler of Chicago was

Chamber of Commerce Of the United

A bill to provide medals of honor
for Captain a. H. Rostron and officers

in the House.
Resolutions authorizing $4,000 ap-

Congress are now hard at work on the
Smoot pension BILL an amended form
of the Sherwood bill, which passed the
House and was in every feature ac-
ceptable to the old soldiers of the
country. The Smoot measure was
substituted in the Senate for the Sher-
wood bill.
The seriousness of the inquiry by
the Senate investigating committee in
to the Titanic disaster was disclosed
when Senator Smith of Michigan, the
chairman, at first flatly refused to let
any of the officers and the two hun
dred-odd members of the crew of the
sunken steamship get beyond the juris-
diction of the United States govern
ment. The men were all to have sailed
on the steamer Lapland. Later it was
settled that the greater part of the
crew would be permitted to sail on
this steamer, but that the twelve men
and four officers among the survivors
now under subpoena, together with
Mr. Ismay, would not be allowed to
depart.
The Senate passed bills previously
passed by the House, extending the
time within which to make proof on
desert land entries for three years in
cases where through unavoidable de-
lay in the construction of irrigation
works, the entryman, without fault of
his own, is unable to get water on his
land within five years; extending the
provisions of the surface entry law to
coal lands within state selection, and
providing that an entryman under
government reclamation project shall
not forfeit his entry on account of alb
sence prior to the date the govern
ment furnishes water for it's irrigation.
