The bill upon which these Interests have concentrated their ef forts was reported to the House by Rep resentative Mondell, of Wyoming, repre senting th f arid land committee. The bill as reported Is based upon the measure recently passed hy the Senate, but con taining several amendments which were embodied, in the original bill. In addi tion -to the r several amendments In tended to meet the criticisms which have been made against the . bill sine It was first Introduced ' , -.'. ' One of the most essential , changes is the positive Withdrawal from'' entry, ex cept' under the homestead laws, of all.sf the lands Which may be Irrigated under a proposed project- Another amendment provides that no water right shall be sold to anyone Who Is not a bona fid resident or occupant of the land to be irrigated as Wdl as the owner thereof. An amend ment has been adopted to the so-caljed "stat control" clause, to meet the ob jections f those who have criticised that provision In the original bill as being too sweeping In it effect. This amendment Is believed, to be entipery satisfactory to all the friend of irrigation and notably to th! administration. As amended, the bill.: will v unquestionably v reeelv the hearty" entbttslastto and united support of th advocates of reclamation, ' 'It to eUlmed by the friend of the amended measure that It Is th moat care fully guarded piece of land legislation which has ever been -presented- to Con gress and Vnat It assures the occupancy of th land. Irrigated under Its provisions In small tracts' by actual bom builders. It is estimated that th proceeds from th sales of public lands which are to form a fund for the carrying out of th contemplated work will for the Immediate future be from two to' two and a half million dollara per annum, and as th Ir rigated lands ar sold 4he amount will Incwase so' that ultimately considera bly larger sum per annum may be avail able. . It tls estimated that th' entire In crease per annum in the cultivated area f th nation of lands irrigated under the provisions of. th act and by privat en terprises a welt will nt be more than a 'million or million and half acres per annum after th system is well inaugur ated, 'and much less for the first few years after th operation of the act; a very Small increase of cultivated area when it 1 remembered that for th last M year the average annual increase In RAILROAD NOTES. At ths annual meeting of th Astoria & Columbia (River Railroad Company! held at Astoria, Monday, all th former officer and director were sleeted. Within a few day It 1 announced that the Great Northern will be placed on a competing. basls at Victoria, B. C.. with, the Canadian Pacific. It will, by means of newly-completed ferry slip- en the Fraxler River at Liverpool, trans port Ita cars directly . Into the British Columbian city. ; . . . , ( , i. - . t The news comes from the East that never before la th history of th Inter state. Commerce Commlslon has there been so nearly m perfect compliance by the road there with provisions of th law. Shippers ar reported, however, to be trying to tempt the railroad men to would com to 'try hi vole; bring hi muaic? No! ' Sing must he "any old thing!" "O-aw, fact-is,. Tve heard all about you' i explained M r.', Holllday, th man- ager. "No doubt but you'll suit as voice, then if. you can act or learn to to act a bitwhy aw fortune made!" And the .distinguished personage bowed himself out, leaving Claude In the very vestibule of Paradise. At noon he Walked proudly into th stag door: of Suggville Opera-House,5 found Holllday with his coat off playing th piano, and Blgnor Oarlocci. th Manrloo of the night before, lounging .about the empty house with a bottle of beer In one hand and a cheeae sandwich in the other. Claude Unthank, a bit confused by . the presence of the great tenor,', cleared his throat, and be gan to sing, the manager accompanying him and the "Star"' by smiles and ges tures, tlrae-beatlng and arm-waving, en couraging him i to his work. "Splendid!'' cried ' Holllday, when the first song was done,, "by Crackey, Jim my," he added, turning to Oarlocci, "the kid is all right, Isn't he?" "MagnlBcent voice! cried the generous signor.' "I'd give him a trial tonight." "Will you go n tonightr' asked Hol llday, turning to Claude "Just try a turn at chorus-work?" Claude agreed that he'd "go on," and it was arranged. From the opera-housa back to Pratt A Proutys he walked upon sunbeams, and there, marching up to the head of the firm, he proudly tendered hi resignation. 'I've signed with the opera troupe," he explained, a the' country merchant gased on him With incredulous admira tion. "Jf h' all the same to you, Mr, Pratt, I'd Ilk to draw my money and get home to pack up,". ...... ' Mr.' Pratt agreed, sure that his young clerk had at last put his hand on the latch .which opens the door to fame and fortune, and in ,10 minutes the lad was leaving the store with all hi savings, more than 3M In his inside pocket. , The new of Unthank's . "engagement" spread like wildfire, and before dark the town was Uttered with .'dodgft-s announcing the . appearance that' evening . of "Mr, Claude Unthank, the phenomenal young tenor of SuggvUle." who has just been- en gaged at a princely alary by the Ander son Opera Company." It was a proud day for Claud. .He was back upon Main street in an hour receiving the congratu lations, of his friends. rHe was inter viewed by the reporter for Th- Voice, and hi-- breast swelled wifh conscious pride when he passed the -corner and heard the -smell boys aayr '' . ; - r i-V'- the acreage devoted to wheat, corn-and oats alone has been three sad a haft million acres, which rat ot Increase has fallen oft considerably th past fsw years, and will continue in th -future, owing to the fact that th humid public lands are practically ail exhausted. Referring, to the cost to the general government under the proposed measure, Mr. Mondell says: . JThe most exaggerated statements have been made as to the probable aggregst outlay. As a matter of fact not a penny will be taken from th national treasury of the sum raised by taxation. The ex penditure under the bill are limited to th proceeds of the sale of public land In th states affected by th bill,' and this expenditure Is principally In the nature of a loan, as the settler pays back to the goverpment th cost ot Irrigation works. The only expenditure under the bill, not reimbursable, would be certain Items of administration, survey and .examinations of projects, and It would be a high esti mate to place 'thess expenditures at a half million .dollars per annum after the system is well Inaugurated k 'Sf'.h "It 1s true that some will insist that th theory of reimbursement, will' not work out - well and th . Federal .government would In the course of time be asked t relieve the settlers from payment -for, their lands and water rights. Nothing of the kind is likely to occur, because both th settlers under private irrigation sys tems In ths arid region and those hoping for extensions Iq the government systems, would b a unit In demanding that th payment provided for In the bill be made; the former class because Ms Irri gated farm would . decrease In value If th government furnished Its water free, th latter because Interested In swelling the fund in the hope of securing th con struction of, works In his vicinity. "In brief th measure provides a system under which the arid West Is to reclaim Itself without cost to, or burden Upon, th people ot th country at large, and th reclamation wilt take place so gradually that th,e effect of the Increased acreage will be imperceptible, l.t fact, many be lieve that it will not be nearly rapid enough to meet the growing demand of our increasing population,' It , Is thought that th bill will b brought up In th House within a month and with th favor of the administration behind It there Is noyoubt bu that Speaker HensefsenjaHft gWe the measure the consideration to which It Is entitled.

It has put "In a tariff of "Ther he goes! - Thajt's him! He's JIned th' opery troupe." ! All Suggville was in the opera-house that evening. Claude, dressed in bar baric splendor, was In. the front rank of the chorus; he sang as he had never sung before; the girls of Suggville threw flow ers across the footlights, and when the performance was over Manager Holllday personally congratulated , him on hi "great hit." In order to get quickly Into the atmosphere of the profession, Claude "stopped" at the hotel that night and drank more beer with Oarlocci than he was accustomed to. - - Itkwas nearly 1 o'clock, when th fa mous tenor, locking the door, grew very confidential with his protege. H .told the boy that all he needed was a week's rehearsal to make a great "leading ten or." He, Oarlocci, was anxious to re sign and get back to "New York; where great ' chances awaited him. "Upon my word, Unthank," he said at. last, "I'd quit right now if" . "If what?" asked the boy, his hopes rising. "If I had, say, $100 to get back to the East on." Now Claude, being very shrewd as well as ambitious, wanted to get the tenor out of his Way. His first night's suc cess lent him an overwhelming Conceit, and before they parted Signor Oarlocci had borrowed $100 from the Adonis of Suggville. Next day at rehearsal the tenor was missing. A search of th town revealed the fact that he had caught an early train for the East. Manager. Hol llday was wild. And in the midst of his desperation Claude went to him and of fered to take the great tenor' plac that night! Brilliant, 'daring offer!.' Moie dodgers; rush f6r seats. "A new Man rico! Signor Unthank of Suggville; his first appearance as a star!" The theater was jammed again, and the audacious young singer carried off all the laurel. The prima donna, the contralto and the chorus girls kissed him In their delight. The men shook his hands and told him he .was "great-",.: Then, h bought beer for everybody in the company, for Cas par Guttwell. the heavy basso, , told him that they would not be paid, until they reached Dallas. --.L. ...r . Claude, was again the hero .rf Suggville when the company took th train for Wachle, for almost the whole population turned out to see him on. He stood on the rear-platform with a gleam of tri umph in his dark eyes as the train pulled out,1 and the young men envious, and the young women tearful, waved hid adieu.

' "What salary-am I drawing, Mr. Hol llday?" " v , The manager's small eyes grew large with astonishment, but he only mur mured: "Wait till we get to Dallas." That worried Claude a little, for he had a lingering commercial ; sense, so he sought out Mile. Duvernay, the aoubrette, who was quite motherly, and at least SO years old, and asked her "what he ought to do about It." . "I can tell you what to don't do," she said, taking off her yellow wig; "don't lend our people any money, don't Imag ine you're it because Holllday Ms Star ring you.
