The first test Of strength between
the progressive and reactionary ele-
ments In the state senate was had last
Tuesday when George HI. Sullivan Of
Saltwater was chosen president pro-
tenn over Henry N. Benson of st.
Peter by vote of SO to %.
Senator Sullivan is one of the old
est members Of the senate in point
Of service. and is one Of the ablest
members of the upper house. From
the point of view of the common peo-
pie, however, Sullivan's splendid quail
tiles have been Of little use. He has
been the chief spokesman for the
street railway interests ever since he
was elected to the legislature and has
valiently championed the cause of the
special interests in season and out
Of season.
Senate Bosses.
There is a coterie of senator's who
have heretofore guided the destipies
Of the upper house, and Sullivan leads
them. Others in this crowd are SEN
ator Putnam, attorney for the Omaha
railroad; Duxbury, attorney for the
Milwaukee,; J. D. Sullivan Of ST..
Cloud, attorney and vice president for
the Hamm Brewing company.
1t has been argued that the mem
bers of the senate from St. Louis
county were in honor bound to vote
for Sullivan owing to the fact that
he has stood by st. Louis county in
matters affecting this county's in
terests. It is question whether his
friendship for this section has been
a benefit or a.. detriment Senators
and representatives from other sec
tons of the state have looked with
suspicion upon any measure supposed
to be In the interest of this county
for no other reason than Sullivan
and his crowd have supported it.
This may be denied by some people,
but there is plenty Of evidence to be
had that 1t IL true.
How They Voted.

how the st. Louis. county senator's

The attempt, however, failed and the:
case went to trial on its merits: " :
Many Witnesses. :-...- .
More than 100 Witnesses wera
called in the case and arguments
were extended over q period Of II
days. Many Of the witnesses who
testified were old residents Of Duluth
and related from recollections" the
progress made by the company in the,
construction Of its line during the
autumn and winter of 1881 and 1882.
The contention Of the state or the
city was that the traction company
had failed to live UP to the require
ments imposed by the terms of its
franchise and that, under forfeiture
years ago, and that since that time
the company has been operating upon
the street merely by sufferance and
not by virtue of it's franchise Of 1881.
The city attacked the validity of
the franchise on the ground that the
traction company had failed to COM
ply. with the legislative grant which
required that one mile Of the line was
to be completed and put into opera
ton within the first year Of the life
Of the franchise. The city or state
produced witnesses to prove that the
first line which fpurported to be a
mile long was not in reality mile
long. The evidence was contradic-
tory to that produced by other wit
nesses put on BY the company and

had constructed the required mile of

of acquiescence were now, under the
law estopped from raising the ques-
ton Of the validity Of the franchise.
The high tribunal holds that Judge
Cant was correct in his finding that
the street .railway company failed to
equip the line and have it in opera
ton within<the prescribed time. 1.-The
oondition!n.&says the high court, twas
not performed within the time 'speci-

+ In spitertof> the fact that the su-
preme>fcour holds that the traction
company did not equip and have In
operation one mile Of its street
railway within one year after the
granting OF the franchise, in accord
ance with the conditions expressed in
it, it finds that the act Of 1881 consti-
tutes aSXalid franchise, exclusive in
character. in the Duluth Street Rail-
way company.
1.-THE vital question" the high court
holds, is whether upon the failure to
perform the condition prior to- Nov.
10, 1882, the forfeiture was at once
executed with no power resting in the
village to waive performance at the
precise moment specified or to con-
done forfeiture"
In it's opinion the court holds that
the franchise granted to the COM
pany by the legislature in 1881 did
not contain a self executing forfeiture
clause and that the village OF. Duluth,
Of which the city Of Duluth is sue
cessor, had a right to waive strict per-
formance of its terms. This, the
the court held, had been done = as
plainly Indicated by the evidence.

When it reports to the governor,
the irrigation and drainage commits
sion appointed in accordance with a
law passed by the last session of the
legislature, will recommend that the
Salmon river irrigation project be
cut from seventy-three thousand to
thirty thousand acres The commits
sion was in session Thursday and it
was ascertained that it will take, that
action, the ground being that the
project has water enough to supply
only the lesser acreage.
The commission will probably make
a report in the near future, covering
all the more important irrigation
projects in the state. The report on
the Idaho Irrigation company's pro-
ject is now in process Of compilation

GAS AT WtIStR
Driliers Find Flow While Hunting for
Water.

The second gas we'll in the past 80
days was struck this afternoon about
O'Clock when James Mcconnell,
boring a well for John e. Warren at
440 East Fourth street, dropped a
drill into some kind of gas sand. When
the gas was struck everyone around
the derrick knew something had hap
pened for it blew all the water and
sand out of the hole and the roaring
could be heard half block. This con-
tinued for about two hours and as we
go to press the gas escaping through
1876 feet of water can be seen for at
least two feet above the top of the
pipe. 1t did reduce in volume so that
the hole could be filled with water
again, but a large amount is still es-
Gaping. 1t was not lighted because of
danger to the rig.
Just how much gas there is and
how long it will last with pressure
cannot be told. The well is 1875 feet
deep and the hold three inches in d.
ameter. OF the entire length there is
but "a feet of casing at the top which
keeps out the surface water. I.
In order to drill 1t is necessary to
keep the hole filled with water and
this is done by a. pump which keeps
the water running in all the time and
it automatically escapes near the top
and is used over again. The first puff
filled the air with sand, gravel and
water for ten feet and the rumbline
down in the bottom Of the hole con
tinued until it was filled again.
In the event that gas sand wal
struck the pressure of the water in
! the hole and the only way it could b.
caught and measured would be t
case to the sand, II any.
| There Is always chance that only
9 pocket has been struck, but cOnsid
ering what was found on the Neeley
farm east Of this city only short time
ago It does look as II the pockets az
tended pretty generally. It is not pos
sible to tell how this strata compares
with the Medley strike for the re4soz
that no one knows at what depth thu
sand was struck the first time.

The Wickahoney Land and Water
company, which recently appeared be-
fore the state land board asking
contract under the Carey act to irri-
gate thirty thousand acres Of land
In Owyhee county Is revival of the
Bruneau Irrigation company. c. r.
Shaw, who has been president OF the
Bruneau company since its organiza-
ton. speaking of the project Sunday,
said:
This is one Of the most meritor-
iOus irrigation projects ever present
ed to the state land board and would
undoubtedly have been financed sew
eral years ago il it fad been possible
to interest capital in any irrigation
development.
Have Ample Finances.
1.-THE people now offering to finance
the project are, without question, am
ply able to carry 1t through and the
contract they offer to the land board
is SO fair and liberal that their hon
esty of purpose cannot be questioned
Notwithstanding the fact that it
will require an expenditure of not less
than seven hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars, the company of which
David Miller, of Kansas City is the ac-
tive head will guarantee that not more
than five hundred thousand dollars
worth of bonds will ever be issued
They also guarantee to complete the
entire construction work according tC
the plans and specifications, including
all dams, canals and reservoirs of ev-
cry description and have an adequate
water supply ready for delivery before
making sales of any water rights
whatsoever.
Liberal to Settler.
"And, in addition to reducing thu
price from the old contract first en-
tered into from $50 to $50 an acre
after the first payment is made of 81
an acre, no additional payments OF
the water contract are required of TIL,
settler for period of five years, bu
only 6 per cent interest will be charg
ed on the deferred payments.
After expiration of the five years
the settler is allowed Is years to com
plete the water payments, thus givin,
30 years instead of 10 to complete
the payments, as was the custom il
the past
According to the government rec
ords, there is more than sufficien
water going to waste in the Brunea,
river to irrigate fifty thousand acre
of land but, in order that no mistak
can possibly be made, the compan
proposes to water only thirty thou
sand acres until it has been ampl
demonstrated that more land can
added to the project
There is probably not in the entir
Snake river valley a more fertile bod
OF land than will be covered by til
new Bruneau project. The elevatio
is not great and immense yields Of al
falfa have been produced on adjacer
lands. When this project is comple1
ed and when the land is in cultiva
ton it is my opinion that it will nc
only become one of the greatest wir
ter stock breeding localities in til
state, but will add to Idaho and Owy
J hee county not less than three mi
:, lion dollars of assessed valuation"
The land board accepted the offer {
the company on the condition that til
company would agree to make sue
changes in the contract as are sue
gested by the state engineer after h
has made a thorough examination {
the project.

energies every cent we can spare and more than we can spare.
 The drill has proven possible under ground conditions mapped on paper by C. A Botsford, geologist, before we started the well. It also shows main oil bearing sand still under us. As every part of his map has been proven by drill so far, why not few feet deeper3s Take the geological survey and maps of Willis Thomas Lee of the United States Geological Survey, made in 1905, on file in Washington, which MT. Botsford at the time of his sur vey never heard of. Our drill is also proving MT. Lees report and maps, showing and describing the different rock formations. He also names fif- teen different kinds of fossils found at and about where we are drilling.
 We may not get paying oil well at Roosevelt. but we defy any person to point out one obstacle or reason, why it is not the most attractive undeveloped oil field ready to develop ever discov cred.
