Jacob Mowry, 1ho had charge Of
the Lewis county exhibit at the Lew
iston-Clarkslon fair last week, re-
turned Monday and reported his ex-
periencs.
He said Of course We we're not in
the running vith Latah and Clear
wa2er counties on the. occasion. sim
ply because We did not begin the Sc
lection of our exhibit in time, and
did not accumulate enough stuff.
But next year We can carry of the

work to that end. Our country viii
produce the goods, and I am willing
to do my share in putting up dis
play that viii prove this beyond any
doubt. This work of getting q pro-
ducts display ready should not be
put off. Right now IS the time to
begin.
Mr.. Mowry is right. he has had
plenty Of experience in this line and
knows how to carry the enterprise
through to a successful issue. And
We would suggest that the matter be
taken up by the commercial club at
an early date after the election.
Il vas not the intention Of our
commercial club. which promoted
and bore the expense Of this exhibit,

given that an exhibit would be fur
nished and The club did the best il
could under the circumstances.

Completion of Great Engineering Feat in Arizona Will

with a ceremonious opening of the
giant siphon, having capacity of
100000 gallons of water minute.
Even reclamation service officials,
having long dealt with the west

were at first appalled, at the size of
the Yuma project" undertaking.
First the Colorado river had to be
tapped, and this was most ticklish
proposition owing to the occasional
floods which sweep down the
American Nile" and then-worst OF
all-the great river had to be un-
dermined to permit of the water
flowing under the river bed.
Investigations of the soil condi-
lions showed that the tunnel would
have to be at least 100 feet below
the river bed in order to be safe.
Accordingly vast excavating ma
caissons and the like-were
imported from the east and sand

the work. When compared with the
Yuma project, government officials
claim, the Hudson river terminals
were comparatively easy of accom-
plishment, for, while the Hudson
river officials had every engineering
convenience at their door and could
gather men from all parts of the
United States with comparatively lit
tie expense, the government had to
import both men and apparatus to
do their work. In spite of this,
however, and in spite of the diff

WICHITA FALLS, Tex.-Cloudy
skies and occasional flashes of light

lowed the endeaVor of citizens of
Wichita Falls to make rain" yes
terday by exploding six thousand
pounds of dynamite, but otherwise
their work so far is without result
The skies are cloudy, but clouds
are feecy and give no promise of
rain.
Even if rain falls there will be a
doubt as to whether dynamite caused
it, for there seems to have been a
general change in weather conditions
over north Texas last night At Nc
Kinney one hundred miles south
east of here, good shower fell last
night. The temperature here fell
about ten degrees lower than it has
been during the past few hot, dry
days Furthermore, the wind early
today changed TO east, a direction
from which it is proverbial that rain
comes in this section, provided the
wind stays in the east long enough.
Even the enthusiasts who are said to
have taken rubber boots and SOU
westers' along with them while dy-
namiting yesterday will not assert
today that the explosive changed the
direction of the wind or lowered the
temperature. There is no prospect
that the dynamiting will be repeated.
There have been two weeks of
dry weather all over north Texas;
some of the crops are suffering a lit
tie; others, particularly cotton, have
fourished.

H. A. PAGE is FOUND GUILTY
Must Suffer for Calling All Congress-
men Crooks.

Henry A. Page, the New York lin
en- merchant on trial at Washington
for criminal libel in circulating de-
famatory literature against Chair
man Henry D. Clayton of the house
judiciary committee and other mem
bers of congress, has been found
guilty by jury.
Immediately after the verdict was
reported counsel for Page gave no
tice that he would file motion for a
new trial. Justice Barnard released
the convicted man on $4,000 bail.
In his testimony, which closed the
defense, Page disclaimed any 'mal-
ice" in the circular and pamphlet at
lacking Representative Clayton and
other members of the house. He
admitted that he had called members
of the house CROOKS" but said that
he had not meant the term in its
usually accepted form.
He recounted his experience in the
New York courts which led to his
circular being sent to the house
members demanding the impeach-
ment of New York state judges. 1t
was the failure of the judiciary COM
mittee to act on this circular that led
to Pages pamphlet denouncing the
house members as crooks"

RATE FIGHT LOST BY STATE
DEMURRER KNOCKS OUT SUIT
AGAINST w. AND A. LESSEES.
Figured in One of BrOwn-Smith Cam
paigns. Suit Was Brought by Lat
ter When He Was in Office.

ATLANTA.-In the superior court
today Judge Pendleton sustained a
demurrer filed by the Nashville,
Chattanooga and st. Louis Railway
Company to the suit brought by the
state to compel it as lessee of the
Western and Atlantic to make the
same rates to Chattanooga across the
state line as prevail between Geor-
gia points.
1t was claimed by the state that
the lessee company is required to
make these rates under the lease
contract. The company holds that the
lease does not make such require
ment, and if it did the requirement
would be in violation of the inter-
state commerce law and therefore
void
1t was upon this general ground
that Judge Pendleton sustained the
demurrer.
The state of course will appeal to
the supreme court.
1t will be recalled that Hoke
Smith in his last race for governor
charged Governor Brown with fail
ure to protect the states interest
because the latter did not order this
suit brought. 1t was made in a sense
icc,,o IN, rovoiou
When Mr.. Smith went in as gov
ernor he took up the matter and fl

to lower its interstate rates on the

dIeon now says this cannot be done.
