Washington, Feb. 18. It is rumored
here that differences have arisen be

the Incoming cabinet. It Is said Taft
is framing the cabinet without seek

said to bo particularly pbtued over
Taft's refusal to seat Loeb, who Is
now private secretary to the presi

dent to have Taft complete his cabi

here several weeks ago.
A few days ago he was In Lewlston,
Idaho, and was Impressed by the way

that one company has 4000 acres snb-
Ivlded In five-acre fruit farms, set

to 450 tier acre, and the water Is

'Ixetl charge for all time to come. The"

It decides to biy, will also be set out
Into fruit. The night before he left
tho citizens subscribed for J 75,000, of
electric railway stock to promote a
suburban line, which Is to lead out
through this fruit land. Water Is the
creative factor of all this activity.
When Mr. Sebbelov saw what water

he immediately thought of . Grande

this section through the completion of
tho proposed irrigation project and
made up his mind to come back. Ho
is confident that there will be a stir
such as we never realized when actual
work Is once commenced on the dam.
