NOW WAIT ON IDAHO.
Engineers Are Ready to Report on Oreat
Irrigation Project.
Washington, April 5. The Boise
Fayette irrigation project in Idaho has
reached the Btage where, tlaving re
ceived the endorsement of the engineers
of the reclamation service, it is ready
to be reported to the seen tary of the
interior for his approval, as soon as
the state land board has designated
what disposition it will make of the
60,000 acres of land belonging to the
state and lying under this project.
It is doubtful if the secretary of he
interior will pass on this project until
a clear and explicit statement has been
received from the state authorities as
to the policy which will be followed by
them in disposing of these lands. Un
der th provisions of the reclamation
law of June 17, 1902, tbe right to use
water of lands in private ownership
cannot be sold for a tract exceeding 160
acres to any one landowner, and such
landowner must be an actual bona fide
resident on such land, or occupant
thereof residing in the neighborhood.
It is within the discretion of the secre
tary to set the limit of area for each
homestead, which limit shall represent
the acreage which, in his opinion, may
reasonably be required for the support
of a family. Under the terms of this
law the farm area under the Boise-Fayette
project will probably be set at 40
to 80 acres, according to the locality
and character of the soil.
GOVERNMENT AID ONLY HOP&
Taft Says Philippines Cannot Oct
Nec.
essary Railroads Without It.
Washington, April 6. Secretary of
War Taft was before the senate com
mittee on the Philippines today to go
over the Lodge and Cooper bills for the
amendment of the act providing for the
civil government in the Philippines
Great interest was manifested in the
section providing for aid in railroad
building by authorizing the Philippine
government to guarantee an income of
not exceeding 5 per cent on capital in
vested in the construction and equip
ment of such roads. Referring to- the
sections of the bill providing for the
government building of railroads in the
event willing capital was not found to
undertake the projects, Secretary Taft
said that he did not favor government
ownership of the system, but he had
offered it as an alternative, after hav
ing investigated thoroughly the experi
ences of the British government in In
dia and the Dutch government in its
colonies.
Senator Burrows inquired if it were
not possible to interest capital in rail
road bnilding in the Philippines with
out government aid. Secretary Taft
said he believed a few links of a sys
tem might be constructed, but not the
general railroad building needed lor
tbe progress of tbe islands.
TAKINQ ADVANTAQB OP WAR.
Diplomats Confident Britain Is Moving
Because Russia Is Busy.
Paris, April 5. The British advance
on Thibet is attracting widespread at
tention, the general view being that it
is due mainly to Russia preoccupa
tion in the Far East. Government
officials are inclined to share this opin
ion. An ambassador said today :
"It is manifest that Russia's hands
being tied gives Great Britain an op
portunity to advance in Thibet. As
part of the same diplomacy, Great
Britain is re-establishing friendly re la
tiona with Prance, thus neutralizing
any French opposition to the Thibetan
program."
In this connection the ambassador
related a conversation with Foreign
Minister Delcasse regarding the Fash-
oda incident. It was pointed out dur
ing this conversation that if the inci
dent had occurred while Great Brit
ain's hands had been tied by the Boer
war, the future of Central Africa would
have been entirely different. It was
the conclusion of those taking part in
the conversation that the time to settle
minor scores was due to the preoccupa
tion of your adversary elsewhere, and
it is the diplomatic view that Great
Britain is now adopting that principal
and advancing in Thibet while Kussia
is elsewhere engaged.
100,000 Men Have Crossed the Lake-.
Berlin. April 5. One hundred thous
and men and 6,000 horses, besides con
siderable artillery, have crossed Lake

expert. Writing from lake Baikal un
der date of March 19, he says that he
found that the authorities had done
everything imaginable for the comfort
of the soliders on the railway and the
lake, and that the railway equipment
was admirable. All the bridges sre
steet, with stone abutments and are
carefully guarded.

TIME IS PRECIOUS
TAYYNEY MAKES PLANS TO
1905 FAIR BILL.
TEST
Will Try to Bring Matter lip Under Sua
pension of Rules House Leaders
Hesitate About Qrantlng a Special
Rule and the Session la Drawing to
a Close.
Washington, April 4. The leaders
of the house, hesitate to invoke the
power of a spceiul rule to secure consid
eration of the Lewis and Clark expo
sition bill, if it can be avoided, and
Chairman Tawney has decided to try to
Drmg the measure up under suspension
of rules. He will call the bill up to
day, unless the Oregon men do not
deen the time opportune.
Those in charge of the bill believe it
will be better to find out just what
strength the bill has in the house, and
this will be shown on a suspension
vote, even if two-thirds of the mem
bers of the house necessary to supsend
the rules do not vote for the measure.
The time is drawing so near the end of
the session that further delay may be
dangerous.
WINS CANAL CASE.
Panama Company Has Perfect Right te
Sell Its Property.
raris, April 4. The first civil trib
unal of the Seine today decided the case
of the Republic of Colombia against
the Panama Canal company in favor of
the .defendants. The decision holds
that the complaint of Colombia is not
receivable, and condemns the plaintiffs
to pay the costs of the action. This
decision has the effect of removing the
legal obstacles in the way of the trans
fer of the canal concession from the
company to the United States.
The decision is a long document,
fully reviewing all circumstances .of
the commission and reviewing the ar
ticles of the treaty, etc., principally ar
ticles 20, 21 and 22 of the treaty of
March 20, 1888, whereby the company
acquired its rights.
these rights," the decision says,
"have the manifest purpose of assur
ing the full exercise of sovereignty over
he canal. It results from what is es
tablished before this tribunal that Co
lombia is not in possession of the terri
tory traversed by the canal. By com'
ing before he French court in order to
obtain its rights over tbe canal, Colom
bia tacitly admits its inability to itself
control the canal. It therefore follows
naturally that it has lost sovereignty
over the territory traversed by the
canal. It also appears that this sov
ereignty is maintained by the new re
public of Panama, which is in actual
possession of the authority and power
and administration and its policing.
Under such circumstances it only re
mains for the Panama company to ac
cept the actual situation of authority
and the facts relative to the territory
embraced by the concession. There
fore the action commenced by Colom
bia is not receivable."
Although no formal notice of appeal
was given, it was stated at the close of
the court that Colombia and Bonaparte
Wyse, the original concessionaire,
would appeal. It is said that an ap
peal will not cause delay, since today's
decision is held to confirm the com
pany's full right to transfer to the
United States.

TERnS AMERICA MUTUAL FOB.
Leading Russlsn Paper Now Urges an
Alliance With Britain.
St. Petersburg, April 2. The Novoe
Vremya today executed a faeeabout,
strongly supporting the idea of a Russo
British understanding in an editorial
entitled "The Blindness of England,"
in which the paper argues that the sue
cess of the Japanese would be more in
jurious to Great Britain than any other
Euroean nation, and points to the
United States as the common rival of
both. It describes Japan as "Ameri
ca's sharpshooter," and says:
Remember that nation, in the per
son of the commander of one of its
men-of-war at Chemulpo, refused to
join in the collective protest of the oth
er foreign commanders before the Jap
anese destroyed the variag and Korietz
Kemembcr whose nag alone among
all did not take on board the crews of
our perishing ships. To the honor of
England, the ally of Japan, It was not
her representative, but the commander
of an American ship.
"The Americans wish to convert the
Pacific into an American Mediterr
anean. would that i to the advan
tage of England? Does England not
understand in her blind policy and
hatred toward Russia that she is turn
ing this ocean into an Amreican Medi
terranean? Sooner or later the Euro
pean countries will recognize that
America is their mutual enemy. Why
should not Russia and England, in
view of their possessions outside of
Europe, combine?"

Baker City Baker county is fast get
ting out of debt. Four years ago the
bonded and floating dot t of the county
was over (250,000. County warrants

ing debt has been almost wiped out.
At the present rate the entire indebted
ness will be discharged next year

cents on the dollar, which makes them
practically as good as cash, because in
vestors do not care to handle them on
such a small margin.
