Show RECIMl ARID WHAT IS REGIONS CONTEST OVER BRICKS BEING DONE BY THE SOME OPERATIONS OF THE SHIPBUILDING TRUST. GOVERNMENT. of HAS BEEN The appearance of Mr. Perkins, of J. I. Morgan & Co., as a witness In the suit against the bondholders Trust, has settled some points which have heretofore been matters of conjecture or of reasonably assumed probability. Messrs. Morgan & Co. were the owners, for the Steel syndicate, of the Bethlehem Steel plant when It was offered to Dresser and Nixon by Mr. Schwab. They were therefore resiionslble for maintaining Rethelchem as a rival of their sleel trust, or, to take the other Bhlp-Rulldi- il Issued, rontiiiiiN the following in to the work whlrh in being (lone in carrying out the by the law providing for government aid in reclaiming the arid lands of the went: The Importance of the water supply of the country, lmth surface and underground, is steadily Inipresaing itself upon the ininda of the jieople. Owing to devclopmeiits in the transfer and application of jjowcr, the Increasing need of growing centers of population for ndccpinie and unpolluted supplies. and the demands of arid regions for additional supplies for irrigation, our available resources are yearly becoming more Important as a factor in economic development. With this fully In view, the division of hydrography of the geological survey has made every effort to keep pace with the public needs und to furnish reliable duta to meet the many demnnds made for information. lit pursuance of his recommendations on March 14, 1903, I instructed him to make such further Investigations and surveys as were necessary to determine the features upon which the construction of these projects will depend. These were the Sweetwater project In Wyoming: the Milk river project In Montana; the Truckee river project In Nevada: the Gunnison river project in Colorado, and the Salt river project In Arizona. Since thut time the further work required has been diligently carried on. Such progress was made that In June, 1903. advertisements were issued for bids for tho construction of diversion works In the Truckee river, Nevada, Hiid the construction of a canal thirty miles in length to carry Its waters to the proposed reservoir, on the Carson river. Contractors were subsequently let for this work. The Investigations In connection with the other projects are rapidly approaching the point where the department will be prepared to enter Into contracts for construction. The act providing a reclamation fund for the construction of Irrigation works for the reclamation of the arid and semi-arl- d lands In the western states was approved June 17, 1903, just prior to the beginning of the fiscal year. The results of muny years of study, investigation and surveys for the irrigation development of thut region by the geological survey made it possible to organise the reclamation service without delay, and to begin at once upon project! presenting features favorable to early construction. In Utah, the people, through a state commission, have asked that first attention be given to Utah lake. This body of water receives the drainage from a considerable part of the mountain area of the center of the state and wastes by evaporation the greater part of this water. The problem Is .largely the feasibility of preventing, by one means or another, this enormous waste, which hHS been estimated to be equivalent to 1,000 cubic feet per second during the irrigation season, is that of Rear lake, which lies partly in Idaho and partly In Utah. In Colorado principal attention has been given to the tunnel which it is proposed to build to convey the waters of the Gunnison river to the Vncoin-pahgvalley in the vicinity of the towns of Montrose und Delta. An examination has also been made of the e canal from the proposed Grand Junction, und of the feasibility of diverting and storing the flood waters of the South llatt river in the vicinity of Sterling. A general reconnaissance has also been begun in the northwestern part of the state. In Idaho there are found to be several opportunities for reclaiming arid land with the waters of the Snake rivers, and its tributaries, especially by utilising as reservoirs the lakes at the headwaters of the Snake river. A large tract of land has been reserved on the Snake river desert In the vicinity of the town of Dubois, niul another below American Kails near a third project Is that for irrigating lands lying between Rolse and Fayette rivers west of the city of re high-lin- Min-Tdok- a, Boise.

They are responsible for the discrepancy of $249,000 In cash of Bethlehem, a trifle so negllgeable that Nixon did not protest about It, and for wllhhold-ni- g y Bethlehem earnings from the which had purchased them with the plant. By fair Inference they or Mr. Schwab was responsible for representing those earnings to the Sheldon reorganisation committee at a million a year more than they were reported to the listing committee of the stock exchange. They are responsible for cabling to their Paris house to take "as cordial view of It (the trust) as Dresto could aid consistently" they sers agents to get money In Paris.

This beverage is highly stimulating, and' a nerve strengthened Instead of a destroyer, as Is the case of tea, alcohol and coffee. It has already been Introduced Into England. Is "Yerbe mate, or simply "mate, the name of this wonderful drink, and It has been used in one of its forms for some time in Paraguay and Argentina. The beverage is brewed from the dried leaves of the Ilex, and can be prepared and aold In bottles to suit the particular taste of the consumer, or made at home, like tea or coffee. Mate can be prepared by making a strong or weak Infusion of the leaves of the ilex after the customary fashion of making tea. In Argentina and Paraguay It is the sole stay of the hard working man, who likes It so well that he takes no breakfast until noon, supporting himself with a small draught now and then from his mate bottle. He can work hard all day long on this one meal, reinforced by the stimulating and refreshing power of the infusion. Mate can be drunk hot or cold. It can B be taken with cream and sugar, like tea or coffee, and It can be used straight, which seems by far the best way of drinking it Plnin mate Is quite S bitter, and, like beer, it Is an acquired taste. The first sip gives a distinctly bitter taste, and the drinker sets down his glass with a wry face. Presently, as soon as the bitter effect wears off, the imbiber has a pleasant recollection of the sensation. By this time the powerful stimulating property of the drink has begun to work and the drinker feels like taking another sip. Mate makes the user of it "feel good, makes him look with brighter eye on the dark side of life; make him forget his troubles for the moment, and. best of all, unlike beer, it makes him feel like working or doing something with his brain or his hands Instead of loafing or gossiping. Chemists who have carefully analysed mate say that It is perfectly harmless. It has only the smallest percentage of caffeine and volatile oils,and it never leaves a bad after effect. Even when the drinker has a disordered stomach or bad nerves the consumption of mate is not followed by unpleasant feelings. ANI EXPENSIVE YOU KNOW WHERE "Not tlie cheapest, but the best.

The contest over the $17,000,000 estate of the late llanry Bradley Plant, the Southern railroad and steamship magnate, is probably at an end, the case coming up for a final hearing before Judge Cleveland here today. The will of Mr. Plant, who died In 1899, provided an annuity for Charles E. Hoadley and Horace G. Hoadley of Waterbury. When the executors won the New York courts approval of the claim that Mr. Plant was a resident of that state they placed with a trust company a fund to secure the payment of the annuity to the Hoadleys. Contest was brought by the latter in Connecticut to prevent the further removal of the estate, and also a suit was brought, praying for the removal of the executors on the ground that they were acting Illegally. Today's hearing was on a petition filed by the Hoadleys asking that the proceedings in this state be made ancillary to those in New York, which action Indicates that' a settlement has beer effected, and that the sulta brought by the Hoadleys will not be pressed.
