BISHOP POTTER
DIES IN PEACE.
(Continued from page 1.)
thing when he returned to New York,
that "You may depend upon It there
Is no love lost between the two coun
tries. I think there Is a good deal
of gush about the British protesta
tions of love for America."
He was very Hbernl with his minis
ters and was especially hearty toward
Dr. Ralnsford, at whose views and
ways many New York churchmen, at
first looked askance. But one day,
when a gathering of ministers was at
his house Dr. Ralnsford arrived late,
having Just come In from a fishing
trip and wearing his angling togs.
This was too much for the bishop and
he said abruptly, "Oh, Ralnsford,
please go and put on something can
onical," and Ralnsford did.
The greatest monument to Bishop
Potter's memory will undoubtedly be
the famous Cathedral of St. John tho
Divine, which Is being bullded on
University Heights, New York. The
bishop threw his whole soul Into this
great work, raised millions of dollars
for It, but he did not live to see more
than a small part of the magnificent
structure completed. He himself
never expected to see the completion
of the work and did not even expect
the next generation to see it, but with
characteristic greatness of mind he
planned far ahead and rejoiced In the
Idea that some future generation
would enjoy the magnificent sight of
the completed cathedral.
Bishop Potter was twice married,
first In 1S58 to Eliza Rogers Jacob,
daughter of one of his parishioners In
Greensburg, Pa. Mrs. Potter died
June 30, 1901, from heart failure,
leaving five children. In the autumn
Of 1902 the bishop was married to
Mrs. Alfred Corning Clark, a widow
of 65.

FOR BIGGER FT. HALL PROJECT.
Government Enlarges Irrigation
Scheme In Idaho.
The Pocatello Tribune says of the
change and enlargement of the Fort
Hall government Irrigation project, at
Fort Hall, Idaho:
F. H. Newell, chief of the United
States reclamation service, who was
In Pocatello last evening with the
Garfield party, announced that the
government had virtually decided to
make a sweeping change In plans for
the Fort Hall Irrigation project, and
had under consideration a new pro
ject which when consummated will
mean more to Pocatello than any one
thing that has happened, since the
birth of the town.
Chief Newell says It is now the In
tention of the reclamation service to
ue water from the Jackson lake
storage reservoir in Wyoming In the
canals of the Fort Hall Irrigation
project, and conserve water In the
proponed Blackfoot storage reservoir
for use in reclaiming lands along the
upper Portneuf river, along the
benches on both sides of that stream
and along the left bank of the river
between Pocatello and American
Falls. This will make Pocatello the
center of one of the largest tracts of
Irrigated lands in Idaho.
Chief Newell says that all the de
tails of the plan have not yet been
worked out, but that It was so certain
to be finally adopted that engineers
have been ordered to make a detailed
survey at an early date. A corps of
surveyors will be In Pocatello this
summer to begin work.
Before the plan Is consummated It
will be necessary for 90 per cent of
homesteaders on the tract proposed
to be irrigated to sign contracts to
take water.
