10 TAKE OVER PROJECT.

Having received the approval Of
the State Land Board, the settlers
on the Portneuf- Marsh irrigation
project will assume control of the
same on April lst This arrange
ment has been brought about through
series of negotiations between the
members of the Water Users Union
and the Irrigation Company, which
seAn to be satisfactory to all parties
concerned.
This segregation surrounds the
town Of Downey, which i situated
"A few miles south Of Pocatcllo, and
embraces about II, 900 acres. While
the entry of this segregation dates
back to 1905, but very little work
was done on the same until 1911,
and last year was the first season
that water was turned into the canals
but SO systematically had the work
been done under the constant super
vision Of a state engineer, that tho
settlers were willing to take the pro
ject over and will hereafter operat,
it themselves.

Temperance people and we believe
an other good citizens over the land
will be interested in the announce
ment that comes from the White
House that during the administra-
ton of President Wilson, no liquors
or wines will be served at public or
private functions. We see no reason
why n public function should not
be considered a success unlessliquors
are served and the attitude assumed
by the President will undoubtedly
be followed in various other public
gatherings.

Through personal spite against
one of their members who was seek
ing an appointment on the Carey
Act Board in case the measure pas
sed, instead of any real objection
they had to the bill, some of the
business men of Hollister and few
of the settlers on the Salmon River
tract sent protest to Gov. Haines
asking him to veto the commission
bill. AS the Governor had found
other and sufficient reasons for his
veto, it is not likely that much at
tention was given to this protest
1t seems strange, however, that
farmers will allow themselves to be
influenced by few business men
who are under the dictation of the
company, but this will always b,
found in every locality.

Hundreds of Lives Lost and Millions of Dollars
Worth Of Property Destroyed.
Illinois, Indiana and Ohio Sacrifice Lives and
Property to Raging Torrent Of

The news dispatches Monday

Illinois and Indiana. The city of
Omaha suffered the worst loss of
any point, as here upwards Of 200
people were killed, nearly 800 in
iurcd and property damaged To the
extent of millions Of dollars.
The storm struck the city sun
day evening, demolishing over 40
homes and several business blocks,
and To- make the destruction.sure,
fire broke out among the wreckage
and ii j. thought that many bodies
have been burned, which can never

country than il was followed by
reports Of another calamity, equal
If not greater than the one Just
recorded.
Heavy rains throughout Illinois,
Indiana and Ohio have so swollen
the streams that dams have broken
allowing raging torrents OF water to
carry death and obstruction in their
wake. in some places wiping out
entire towns
Dayton, Ohio, has suffered the
most from this latter calamity. The
bursting Of large reservoir Just

water down upon the city, and so
sudden was its descent that people
had no time to flee, and no esti-

life, n the water swept through the
business section of the city IL feet
deep carrying everything before it.
30, 900 people are reported home
less in that city alone, and no esti-

At Peru, Ind, the death loss
may reach 800 and what few people
that are left are in dire distress and

INDICTED FOR MURDER.
Castro Declined to Reply to Question
 Regarding 1t.

Washington, Jan 15.-The order of the immigration authorities at New Y ori for the deportation of CfpFiano Castro, according to the understand ing of officials of the department of commerce and labor, grows out of the former Venezuelan presidents refusal to answer certain questions propound- ed by the special board of inquiry.
 The boards decision has not yet been officially communicated to Secre- tary Nagel, but he is in possession of the record of testimony in the Castro case which shows. it is said. that Cas- tro declined to reply to questions con- eerning the charges that he was con- nected with the assassination of Gen. eral Paredes in Venezuela, for which he is under indictment, though he has never been tried.
 The board wanted this information because the law bars from entry to the United States any person convicted of, or admitting a crime involving moral turpitude. Officials hold that while an immigration hearing is ouasi-judiciai in character, the ordinary rules of privilege recognized in court of law do not obtain.

We consider him an unre- liable witness. His testimony to the effect that no foreigners suffered loss es of property through his actions dur ing the years when he was president we decline to believe. His refusal to reply to many questions put to him bearing upon his right to land convince US that there are damaging facts which he desired to conceal"

 The statement continues with the declaration That upon information from official sources he was charged with responsibility for the unlawful killing of Paredes, but declined to of fer any information or to give the gov ernment any information in regerd to the IatIer'S death. He refused to eith- CT affirm or deny his guilt, even after he had been warned that unfavorable inferences would be drawn from such refusal and that he must take the con- sequences.
 Tantamount to an Admission.
 Such refusal" the statement says. together with his manner and de- rneanor when asked concerning these matters, constitute in our opinion an admission of the truth of the charge He is therefore excluded on the ground that he has admitted the commission of a crime and felony involving moral turpitude."

 Following representations of the Ma dero government that the revolution soon would be put down. came reaS- suring reports from the Mexican states along the American frontier but hope of early pacification of the republic gave way as it became apparent that the federal forces were inadequate to cope with the rebels in the central and southern districts, who have carried on their operations even in the very face of the seat of government.
 Alarmed by reports from Consul Ed wards, state department officials today realized that strong measures were necessary and so called upon the navy to despatch a warship to Acapulco.
