J UNBIASED REVIEW IN LAND FRAUD
 EXPOSURERS

CHICAGO, H., Feb. 15.-A dras- tic indictment of the reclamation service of the national government on the charge of gross maladminis- tration and ineffciency is contained in a report of the house committee on expenditures in the interior de partment, says the capital cores pendent of the Tribune. The re- port will be presented tomorrow. It is charged that the government stands to lose more than s1OO,OOO,- 900 on irrigation projects under way.
 The report, made public tonight by Representative Graham of Illinois, chairman of the committee accuses government officials with having manipulated the construction of the Roosevelt dam and Salt river and the Gila river irrigation projects in Arizona to the detriment of the small farmer and the Indians and to the great profit of the land specula- tors, millionaire ranchmen, the Southern Pacific railroad and a Phoenix electric company.
 Collision between government of ficials and representatives of these wealthy interests in charged.
 Committee Ask Broad Inquiry. These revelations of reckless eX travagance and corrupt transactions relating to only two out of thirty reclamation projects says the con- mittee, make imperative an inves- tigation of the entire irrigation work of the governme and an accounting of all funds handled. The house is asked to appropriate $25,OOO for such an inquiry.
 Samuel Adams of Chicago, assistant secretary of the interior, Director Newell and Supervising Engineer Lewis C. Hill of the reclamation ser vice are severely criticised for de cisions relating to the admisistra- tion of the Arizona projects. The committee recommends that the president remove them from office pending the investigation, ito pre- vent possible obstruction of our pro gress by these officials
 Other recommendations are that the contract of the Pacific Gas and Electric company for electricity from the Roosevelt dam be cancelled, and

that no private lands shall be re- claimed until sold to settlers at the law price of government lands.
 Fears Reclamation Will Fall.
 The committee aserts the laud- able policy of land reclamation. will fail unless efficient administration be obtained. It characterizes the four completed projects Garden City Kas.; Hondo and Carlsbad, N M, and Okanogan, Wash.-as failures, and of the whole reclamation work says: At this rate of reckless pro gross the probable loss to the gov ernment over and above estimates will be from $11O,oOO,0OO to $115,- OOO, 1000. Such a dalliance with mill styled engineers but whose mathe- matic work would discredit a village high school, is calculated to breed contempt for the government in the public mind. ''
 Assistant Secretary Adams said tonight that in so far as the report refers to him, is is a tissue of in- accuracies.'
 q am credited with making rul- ings made by my predecessors" he said, ''but those I have made I stand ready to defend as just and equita- ble. The rights of all parties have been scrupulously protected.
 Adams Welcome Investigation.
 ITO suggest the removal of myself and others pending an investigation is absurd We welcome any in- vestigation, would not want to ob- struct it, and could not even if we were so unworthy as to desire to-
 Director Newell said the report blamed him for the acts of other administrations. He denied emphat- ically the governmen stands to lose any amount of money on the recla- nation work.
 The report contains a dozen pie lures showing the Gila river irriga- tion canal devoid of water, choked with sand, and the banks washed away. Newell explains this is a flood water irrigation project and is intended to be dry part of the ] time. He said the project is en- tirely successful.
 Prominent in the movement to in duce congress to undertake the irrl- gation of arid lands, according to the report were A. J. Chandler who owned an 1S,OOO acre ranch, and his partners, the late D. NJ. Ferry and c. c. Bowen, president and sec retary respectively of the D. M. Ferry Seed company of Detroit, Michigan. a.1az

INDIAN MASSACRE RECALLED.
Pleushshare uncovers Bones Of Set.
y tiers Slain In Early North
Dakota Raid.

Sheldon.-Two skulls and one en-.
tire human skeleton were uncovered
by a pillow on the farm Of Alfred Wall
in Owego township and they are be-
lieved by many to be the remains Of
settlers Of what was known as the
Hadley colony who was massacred by
Indians that roamed over this section
In the early days. The bodies were
buried by soldiers by merely digging
a shallow trench and placing them In
1t.
In Il late sixties a man by the
name o. Hadley came from New York
state and located a colony on section
l6 in Owego on the banks Of a creek
some few rods from the Sheyenne. A
village was started and the settlers
took up the land for some five miles
around, living in town as a safeguard
from attacks by Indian bands. Many
Of the old timers remember such a
village and some of the d%ilapidated
log houses were still standing when
they arrived here.
The theory is that the Indians
swooped down upon the settlement
without warning, catching many Of
the residents on their newly located
farms.
The land where the skeletons were
found has been farmed for years, but
not until this time was a pillow set deep
enough to unearth them.
1t is the opinion of those who have
Viewed the skulls that the persons
were beheaded with some sharp In
strument, as the cut Is a clean one
There is not a question but wha! they
were white people, for every feature
Of the skull points to that conclusion.

PARTIES LINING UP IN N. D.
}. Nelson Kelley Being Groomed As
Democratic Nominee For
Governor.

Grand Forks. j. Nelson Kelly,
president of the North Dakota Educa.
tional association, and for twenty
years superintendent of the Grand
Forks public schools, is being groomed
as a democratic candidate for gov.
ernor, and wise one within the coun-
ellis of that party say he has a good
chance of securing the nomination in
the primaries next June. George e.
Duis of Grand Forks is being looked
upon as a possible democratic candi.
date for congressman from the first
district.
Look for Senatorial Timber.
With the lining up Of the republi-
cans for the senatorial fight. the dem.
ocrats also are casting about for lead
ers. 1t is generally accepted, even
now, that former Governor John
Burke will be the candidate. although
w. E. Purcell Of Wahpeton is being
hinted at.
Congressional candidates will not be
lacking when the times comes. With
Duis Of Grand Forks already consid.
cred a possible candidate against Hell
gesen in the first, there is George p.
Jones Of Edgeley as an opponent Of
George M. Young in the second, with
T. D. Casey Of Dickinson willing to
try to defeat P. D. Norton in the third
district.
With the general situation so prom.
Using, from a democratic viewpoint, the
party will make the best campaign Of
years in this state.

CHOLERA LOSS IS s5oo,ooo

cost North Dakota at least half a mil.
lion dollars. One-ifth of the loss was
In Cass county, which leads the rest
81 the state in hog production. These
figures are given out by hog buyers
and they are regarded as conserva.
tive.
Aside from the financial loss the
greatest handicap will be the blow to
diversified farming. For three or four
years a statewide campaign had been
conducted to interest the farmers In
corn growing. To consume the corn
farmers became interested in hog rails.
Ing. Many Of them are discouraged
over their initial effort and it will be
difficult to persuade them to take uu
the proposition again.
