Cost Of irrigation Work.

WASHINGTON, March 9.-Reclama.
ton service officials took issue with
the statements credited to James j.
Hill last night in an address at
Charleston, S. c., in which the rail.
road magnste vas credited with charg.
ing the management of the reclama-
ton service Is being "stupid" and
saying that irrigation works in the
United States had cost twice as much
as they should and twice as much a.
they would in Canada.
The service statement declares Mr..
Hill cannot be we'll informed of the
cost of Canadian works, and declares
that the cost per acre of irrigation in
Canada ss compared with American
works does not Justify the compar.
ison. The statement says: 1.-THE
statements attri buted to Mr.. Hill are
extravaganza and indefensible."

The Real Attraction.

Lord Roberts had promised to in
spect a certain boys brigade Of Glas-
gov, and the authorities announced
that they had for sale to the relatives
and friends Of the boys a number Of
tickets which would entitle the holders
to a good view of the proceedings. At
the last moment, however, owing to
illness, Lord Roberts was unable to
fulfill his engagement and there was
a severe slump in the sale of tickets.
After the announcement had been
made a small boy approached the sec.
rotary and asked for two tickets for
his father and mother.
The secretary thought it only fair to
make sure the boy was not buying the
tickets under any misapprehension.
"You know. of course" he said. that
Lord Roberts will not be at the in
spection."
AYE. but it disna NATTER" was the
complacent reply. Its no him they're

WASHINGTON, March l2.-Repre.
sentative Oscar Understood, the demo-
cratic majority leader for the house,
had his first conference at the White
house tod ay with President Wilson.
President Wilson was urged BY Rep.
resen'attve Underwood to postpone the
da:e of the extra session at least one
week. AS q result of Mr.. Underwood's
suggestion recently the president had
fixed upon April l. Mr.. Underwood
advised the president that the WAYS

more time in preparing the new tariff
bills.
Inasmuch as Mr.. Wilson has said
be would be guided by the council of
house leaders, 1t was regarded % prac.
sically certain today that the new con.
gress would not convene before April
7 or 8. Mr.. Underwood discussed
with the president the advisability Of
including anything more than the
tariff ia his first message to congress.
The presidents proclaim alton is ex.
pected to point out that the extra ses.
sion ia called to revise the tariff alone.
Mr.. Underwood said - he left the
White house that the attic eau.

State Officials Want Passes.

HELENA, March ll.-An addition to

state official, and every legislator,
that wants to 60 eadding about the

with it's provisions. General Alder.
con has received many applications
for free transportation. The names
of the applicants have not been di.
vulged. but included among them are
about twenty mem ers of the house,
but no senators.
Whether the railroads will honor
the requests for passes 10 . question
that hae not yet been answered. The
bill does not make it mand atory upon
the carriers to issue the passes, but
merely says they may. The appro-
priations committee of the house, in
considering the expenses of the state
for the next two years, reckoned with
this bill In mind, and estimated that
1t will be the mean Of saving the state
approximate $40, 600 in railroad fare.

For instance, an expedition recently

region at the headquarters Of the ANA
ION river, to the east of the Andes
mountains. In 1896 the rubber posi-.
bilities were discovered. and the con.
cession for gathering the product was
given by the Peruvian government to
English contractors. The district was
inhabited by d peaceful. harmless race
of Indians.
A campaign Of the most wasteful
exploitation was begun. The Indians
were reduced to the most abject slav-
cry by the most barbaric methods.
Not only the men. but women and chill
dren, were forced to gather their share
Of rubber or suffer the most horrible
torture.
In 1905 t~hirty-six Barbadian negroes
were imported as deputies, and the cru
city increased.
Indians who couldn't or didn't pro-
duce rubber were suspended with their
arms twisted and bound over their
heads and their feet swinging. while
they were logged. Two hundred lash
es a day constituted no unusual fog

Pouring kerosene over the bodies of
