Smith. Salisbury will get $50. 900 and
Crisfield gets Sos, 200. according to the
favorable reports made this afternoon.
Senator Smith has made it policy 10
be modest in his requests for public
building appropriations. trusting to the
fairness of the committee TO give the
Maryland towns the amount of money
needed This policy has worked success
fully three times IN the present session
Of Congress.
In each of the original bills Senator
Smith asked for $50, 900 and in each case
the amount was raised.

currency, the coins to be Of the same

Old Justices of Peace Are
HOLDING On.

Acting under legal advice many of the
old Justices of the Peace appointed by
Governor Crothers are contending that
they are the only legally appointed Off
cials and are still 1t their old stands
transacting whatever legal business may
come their way. II is getting to be a
very serious matter and the question
should be settled and that speedily. for
it is certain that one or the other is
wrong. and the business now being done
may all have to be done over.
People with deeds. mortgages and 9TH
er legal papers which require signing
before a magistrate are at loss what
to do. II they make mistake and go
to the wrong one the paper is no good.
The same condition exists in the crimi-
nal and civil suits.
The mixup came about by the failure
of the Senate to confirm the appoint
ments made by Governor Goldsborough.
1t is also said that the old appointees
believe that they are legal Justices be-
cause the Governor has named the same
men that were named to the Senate but
failed of confirmation. The Constitu-
tion forbids the appointment of those
rejected by the Senate after the Legis-
lature adjourns. On the other hand it
is pointed out that the Senate neither
confirmed nor rejected these men but
simply ignored all the Governors APP
pointments for this county. Whichever
contention is the correct one this mat
ter should be tested out with as little
delay as possible in order to avoid any
bad mixup in our business transactions
as well as for the good of law and or
der.

in Baltimore yesterday Thursday to

vention, which meets in Baltimore next

Although much has appeared in the
daily papers of late regarding the at
titude of the Baltimore City organization
toward Senator Smith, it seemed that
when the show down came the Senator
was all there with the goods. The rank

For several days before the conven-

city crowd was in control of the situa-
ton and that 1t was going to jam
through its choice of delegation; hut
those who knew the true situation knew
that the county people were back OF
Senator Smith and knew that he was
in control, although he was not shout
ing about it. There has not been a
moment since the adjournment of the
Legislature when the people of Mary
land have not been Disguised with the
small bore statesmen who attempted
leadership in the Legislature. showing
how incompetent they really were. and
creating the desire that Gov
ernor Smith take hold and strengthen
out the Babel. This he has done this
week, and he has done il SO effectually
that even his enemies are compelled
to give him his just dues.
The fact of the matter is. the city
people, as well as the county people.
are favorable to the leadership of Sena-
tor Smith. because they know he is
honest and unseliish. doing whatever he
does with an eye single to the interest
of the people.
Senator Smith is stronger with the
people than ever before, and the Demo
cratic party under his leadership will
sweep the State this Fall for a Demo
cratic candidate for President.

AWAITED THE RESULTS
WHICH FAILED TO COME

1t was pleasant house party which
met at the Press Office Saturday even
ing to await results of the balloting
at Baltimer, and all those present
were willing to do their utmost to
help save the country" and when the
final word came that the convention
had adjourned until II o'clock Monday
morning there was great disappoint-
ment.
In sheer desperation a number of
those present were anxious to nomin-
ate Bryan on the spot and wire to Balti-
more for endorsement, for the great
commoner was by long site the most
popular man present.
In fact, vote was taken on the
nomination of Bryan. and it carried
unanimously. Republicans, Democrats,
ProhibitiOnists and Socialists all 60
ing one record in his favor.
When the first bulletin came this
morning there was much disappoint-
ment. for the feeling had gained
ground that the political wire pullers
would have everything adjusted for
the first ballot and a nomination
would result Instead of that, it ap-
peared that the convention stood
where it left off Saturday. and the con-
viction gained ground that the conven-
tion was about ready for split.

YUMA IS REJOICING
OVER COMING OF WATER

Yuma Sun: Saturday morning,
June 20. 1872, will always be remem-
bered by the people of Yuma as a
red letter day. 1t marks an epoch in
the history of this community and the
development of this valley. On this
DAY the water was turned into the
siphon and flowed under the Colorado
river and bubbled up like a giant
spring, out the siphOn shaft on the
Arizona side of the river and flowed
on into the canals that Is to bear it to
the desert lands of the valley. This
day has been looked forward to for
seven long years and it marks the
beginning Of the end of the work on
the Yuma project
1t has been a giant undertaking,
fraught with difficulties and dangers.
but has at last been successfully ac-
cOmplished. 1t is to the completion
of the project what the construction of
the Laguna dam was to its beginning.
These two features of this work will
stand, let us hope. through all of the
ages to come as monument to their
builders and living testimony to the
progressive development of the age.
The siphon is finished The waters
of the Colorado have been diverted
from heir channel, carried over the
desert by easy stages and dropped In

the river to the Arizona outlet. The

isfied. The mouth of the most skepti.
cal is closed. The completion of the
siphOn and the permanency of its
character makes us all happy.
We are now ready to do business.
The thing has been actually accom-
plished. There are no more ifs nor
ands. A giant spring with a flow of
water large enough to irrigate 100. 900
acres of desert land is at our door.
For those who have toiled and waited
the reward will come The glory of
things accomplished is with us.
We can well afford to shake hands
with ourselves and get ready for the
great things that are in store for us.
To Engineer Sellew and the recla-
nation boys who have worked so long
and faithfully to complete this great
work we extend congratulations.
While We felicitate ourselves we do
not forget the engineering genius that
has made these things possible.

BANKER IN LIFE OF HOBO

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July 1.-Don-
aid X. Snyder of the First National
bank started for Oklahoma on his va
cation. He was looking for adventure
and proposed to bum" his way over
the country for two weeks. The first
message from the volunteer Weary
Willie" was that he had ridden the
cushions to Paola, Kan, and from
there would tramp through Oklahoma,
looking for adventure. He found a
large chunk of adventure in the rail-
road yards of Nowata, Okla, where
the nightwatchman saw the banker
and took him in. Mr. Snyder was in
dignant, judging from the hurry-up
calls for help he wired to the bank
Several kilograms were sent to the
Nowata city officials, stating that Mr..
Snyder was a banker and all right
The kilograms appeared to be correct,
but the officials couldn't figure out how
q real metropolitan bank attache could
be hanging around railroad yard
with only $11 in his pocket. Friends of
Mr.. Snyder predict that he will come
home ION the cushions" and will con.
fine future travels to vanished cars.

STORM DID NOT HURT
THE CANTAL0UPE GROWERS

L. B. Hale was in town this morn
ing and reported that the storm has
not done any injury to the cantaloupe
industry, but may have been beneficial
so far as the cash returns are con-
cerned. The crop was threatening to
exceed the demand, and the storm
put an end to picking for two days
The fact was wired to the eastern
markets, and this is giving strength
to prices. l tr7
1t is expected that cantaloupes to-
night will move to the markets freely
again and those which have become
overripe will be fed to hogs.
AS the rain came before the grapes
were fully ripe and the fruit dried
dried off gradually during the night
before the sun struck them, it is not
believed this crop has been injured
seriously, though there was consider
able apprehension for time. Last
year a storm that came about a week
later did great damage to grapes.

BIRDS REVISIT GRAVE
OF THEIR BENEFAcrOR

ELLENSBURG, Wash, July IA
flock of 5000 grosbeaks landed in the
courthouse park the other day on
their migration northward from Cen
tral America. They called to the mind
of County Auditor Heron the story OF
their introduction into the northwest.
Twenty-Five years ago a German ped
dler tramped into the Kittas valley
with his pack on his back. and his
only companion was a pair of trained
birds. Arriving in the valley the old
man fen i'll and passed away.
The birds were released They
were seen many times during the
summer. The next spring pair of
grosbeaks migrated to the valley, and
every spring since the birds have ap-
peared in increasing numbers. On ar
irving they first alight invariably in
the grove of aspens beneath which is
the grave of the old peddler. 1t was
in this grove that the original pair
made their nest.

tinct candidate of progressives of both

1t is apparent that desperate ef-
fort is being made to prevent split in
the party, which is felt by everybody
to be impending and certain to come if
anything like steam-roler tactics are
adopted at this stage of the game.
1t appears to be the growing senti-
ment that the only thing that can pre-
serve united party is the nomina-
ton of a marked progressive, but the
bitterness that has developed against
Bryan i'll the Clark camp has appar-
emily made it impossible for the con-
vention to go to him, and it therefore
is considered inevitable that the party
will nominate Wilson or suffer a de-
lection that will make defeat in No
vember practically certain.
The question is considered by many
persons whether Wilson's nomination
would not lead 10 his endorsement of
the National Progressive party as well.
