ASENATORIAL UPSET
DISCUSSION OF THE SALE OF
SURPLUS WATER.
HEYBURN'S GIVES HIS OPINION
Idaho Senator Again Arrayed Against
Amendments and Voices Opposi
tion Vigorously.
Washington Senator Warren's bill
authorizing the disposal of the sur
plus waters of government irrigation
projects to private corporations was
the subject of prolonged debate in the
senate Wednesday.
When Senator Warren moved to
take up the bill no vote was cast In
the negative and it was believed that
in view of the subsequent adoption of
an amendment guaranteeing the
rights of states in the matter of the
control of streams within their bor
ders, a compromise had been reached
which would insure early action on
the bill. Such did not prove to be
the case.
The states' rights amendment was
presented to Mr. Warren, who said it
had been revised by Mr. Heyburn.
who had successfully conducted two
or three filibusters against the bill.
Apparently at first mollified by the
amendment, Mr. Heyburn ultimately
took the position that it would be of
no service and vigorously denounced
it as a subterfuge and delusion. He
announced, however, that, having
practically exhausted himself, he
would not continue his opposition to
the bill. The Idaho senator's sub
mission to what apparently he had
conceived to be the inevitable was
not of long duration. Two or three
other senators having given him en
couragement to believe he had sup
port on the floor, he renewed his op
position and denounced the measure
in as vigorous terms as on any pre
vious day.
When later in the discussion Mr.
Heyburn stated that the bill had been
dictated by the corporations, Mr.
Warren denied that such was the
fact. With some degree of warmth
he said:
"I deny that imputation. I drew
the bill as the result of a suggestion
from a government official and not in
the interest of any corporation."
Much of the criticism of the bill by
Senator Heyburn was directed to the
omission of individuals from the list
of those to whom the government
may deliver water as provided by tho
bill. He contended that the effect
would be to prevent the use of water
for domestic or mining purposes. De
nouncing the Dill as 'legislative
crime," he asserted that he could ex
plain the apparent willingness of sen
ators to permit the measure to pass
only on the ground that they either
failed to comprehend tho terms of the
bill or to appreciate their duty as sen
ators. At this juncture Senator Carter at
tempted to pour oil on the troubled
waters by proposing an amendment
including individual consumers, but
while tho amendment was accepted
by all. this action did not have the
effect of putting a stop to the discus
sion in which Messrs. Carter Hey
burn, Borah. Warren. Burkett, Flint
and Jones participated.
TRIUMPH FOR ROOSEVELT.
Leaves .Rome After Being Most
Cordially Received.
Rome. Before leaving Rome Wed
nesday Colonel Rooevelt had reason
to believe that a great triumph was
his. because both the attitude of the
Vatican towards him ami the state
ment of the Methodists which he had
condemned were repudiated by the
leading adherents of those two insti
tutions. Abbot Iiwrence Jannsena. one of
the most learned benedictines and
secretary of the affairs of religions,
called on Mr. Roosevelt and not find
ing him, left his card, on which he
wrote in French that he desired to
congratulate him for the constant
support given to his order and tho
Catholic church in general in Amer
ica during Mr. Roosevelt's "glorious
career" as president, which he hoped
would soon be resumed.
Contemporaneously Mr. Roosevelt
received letters from relatives of his
prelates and cardinals, condemning
what they styled "the presonal atti
tude of Cardinal Merry Del Val, for
which neither the pope nor the
Catholic church was responsible."
Must Watch Their Clocks.
Washington. Members of congress
do not intend to miss their engage
ments because of faulty clocks ex
posed in public places in the District
of Columbia. Mr. Coudrey of Mis
souri introduced in the house a bill

son owning such a clock that is not
kept running or is found to be two
minutes off the right time.

the Mondell bill granting the right

Jews Cheer Taft.
Washinston. Representative Jews
of America, delegates to the conven
tion of the IVnai B'rith. cheered Presi
dent Taft to the echo when he con
cluded an address before them at
rneir annual banquet, with the words:
"There is no people so much entitled
to become the aristocrats of the world
and yet who make the best republi
cans." The president welcomed the
lelegates to Washington and outlined
o them plans for the making of the
"apital city great and more beautiful.

BIG FIRE
III OH
A. MILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF
PROPERTY DESTROYED.
GRAIN NO CARS ARE BURNED
Hig Wind Carries Sparks and Lack
of Water Pressure Makes Fight
ers' Efforts Useless.
Omaha. More than $200,000 of
property was devoured Sunday night
by a fire which totally destroyed the
big 750,000-bushel elevator of the
Nye-Schneider-Fowler company, the
Maney Flouring mill and elevator and
upwards 100 box cars,. some of them
loaded with grain, on the Great West
ern terminal tracks. The property,
destroyed is situated along the Great
Western terminals between Oak and
Gold streets, a few blocks north of
the South Omaha line.
The conflagration was not only the
most disastrous, but the most specta
cular which has visited Omaha in
years. The high wind which swept
along the great, wide valley in which
the structures stood carried flaming
torches high into the sky and swept
them for miles directly north, and
the city for blocks away was Illumi
nated as by day.
The damage is a different thing to
estimate owing to lack of reliable In
formation in the confusion, caused
by the fire. Opinion among those
best able to estimate, however, places
the loss at a figure in the neighbor
hood of 12.000,000, possibly less and
possibly more. .
The Nye-Schneider-Fowler elevator
alone was worth $400,000, the Maney
mill and elevator were constructed
and equipped at a cost of between
$200,000 and $2.'0,000. The mill ele
vator was filled with wheat which
just now is worth more than $1 a
bushel and the Nye elevator is said
to have been nearly filled with corn.
How many of the box cars were load
ed is unknown, but the heaps of
charred grain along the tracks where
the cars stood indicates that many
of them bore valuable cargoes.
Rough estimates place the damage
to the Nye-Schneider-Fowler company
en elevator and contents at about
$1,000,000, on the Maney mill and
contents at about $500,000 and on the
box cars and contents at another
an almost herculean task, and ren
company carried heavy insurance on
both the building and grain stored in
it and the Maney mill property Is said
to have been well insured.
Two things made fighting the firo
I an almost reculean task, and ren
dered the efforts of the fire Apart
ment practically useless except In
preventing the spread of the confla
gration into the residence district hd
joining. One was the heavy wind
which blew with the fury of a gale
and the other was the utterly inade
quate water supply.
It is supposed that a defective
electric motor was the cause. This '
has been in the habit of running hot
for sometime past and the explana-
tion given is that it became overheat- ,
ed and set fire to the adjoining wood
work before it was discovered.
General Rains Prsdicted.
Washington Ilains will be general
throughout the United States during
the present week. During the first
half of the week, according to predic
tions of the weather bureau, an ex
tensive barometric depression will
cross the central valleys, the lake re
gion and the Atlantic seaboard, at
tended by rains. The rain area will
be followed by a sharp fall In tem
perature, which will carry the frost
line to or somewhat below the 40th
parallel. Another disturbance will
appear on the Pacific coast about
Tuesday.
Ijccirc Cutoff Damage
Ogden, Utah So great was the
damage to the I.ucin cutoff by n
fierce windstorm that the Southern '
Pacific was compelled to abandon
the great trestle and trains to and
from this city are routed over the
old Central Pacific tracks around tho '
northern end of the Great Salt Lake.
While definite figures as to the ex
tent of the damagee have not been
received. It is said, they will be much
in excess of the trouble experienced
a week ago when trains were de
toured for one day.

Farmers sheufd eat more oatmeal.
Although tne farmer of today Is able
to buy almost anything he wants to
wear or eat he Isn't paying enough
attention to food values when it comes
to his own table.
He feeds his stock carefully, avoids
over-feeding and selects the stock food
that he believes will give the best re
turns in strength and general efficiency.
If he has bea watching the exten
sive researches and experiments on
the question ot the best human food
for muscle and brain he will heed the
advice from all aides to "eat mora

Quaker Oats Is mentioned because
it Is recognized in this country and
