Another battle between loratlona auch as
' Foneeteel and Fairfax waged In the former
day. Dallas and Gregory, two of the new
towna on the Roaebud. are each claiming
already to be the "only gateway" to the
Tripp county landa, which will be thrown
open to settlement In 1808, and which will
bring forth 700,000 acrea of public domain
for gift.
Dallas la located a half mile from the
dge of the Tripp county portion ot tne
reservation. Gregory la five miles thla aide.
Xtollaa occuplea the same relative position
that Boneateel owned and apparently hna
the "best chance to be the real gateway,
Although Gregory has the advantage to
date of being the Northwestern railway's
terminus. Pallas clalma the rallrond will
be extended. Gregory claims that an
agreement with the road, made In Chicago,
lias settled the matter In favor of Gregory,
alnce that town paid for much of the right-of-way.
Already an Influx of people la noticed,
the bill having been paased In the senate.
It will be probably a rush twice the size

much land. The land la aaid by real eatate
men to be even better than the Gregory
county land.

MEAT INSPECTION AMENDMENT FAILS
Attempt te Tax Packers wlfh the Coat
of Rxeeatlna- the Uw Goes
Oat oa a Point of
Order.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25,-The senate to
day passed the agricultural appropriation
bill carrying nearly I10,ono,ono; the postof
flce appropriation bill carrying KlO.OOO.OnO;
the pension appropriation bill carrying 1146.
Om.ono, and the bill authorising the eatab
lishment of an agricultural bank In the
Philippine Islands.
The principal flght today over the agri
cultural bill took place on the Beverldgo
amendment requiring the packers to pay
the cost of administering the meat Inspec
tion law. This amendment was defeated
on a point of order. Mr. Beverldge secured
the adoption of an amendment which re
quires the date of canning and Inspection
to appear on the label of the can contain
ing meat products.
The postofllce bill was passed In an hour
and fifteen minutes. Amendments adding
tl.S8R.75! for the extension of the pneumatic
mall service and requiring postal cars to
be lightrd with electricity were adopted.
Mr. Lodge secured the passage of the
Philippine agricultural bank bill. An
amendment offered by Senator Culberson,
declaring- the Intention of the United
States to abandon the Islands aa soon as
a stable Independent government ahould be
ertnbllshed, was defeated.
The senate also passed a bill granting a
rervlce pension to army nurses. Those who
are disqualified to earn a livelihood and
have reached the age of 62 yenrs are to
receive 112 a month, at 70 years 115 and
at 73 years $20.
Aarlraltnral BUI Taken I p.
When the agricultural bill was taken
up the Fulton amendment providing
that no forest reserves shall hereafter be
created or enlarged without an act of con
gress In the states of Oregon, Washington,
Idaho, Montana. Colorado and Wyoming
was adopted without debate. The amend
ment adding $1,000,000 for the Improvements
In forest reserves was also adopted with
out debate.
Senator Beverldge offered an amendment
providing that hereafter the date of Inspec
tion and canning must be placed on the
label of meat product. This was agreed
to without discussion. Mr. Bceertdge then
offered his amendment placing the cost of
meat Inspection on the packers and took
the floor to address the senate on Its ne
cessity. Mr. Warren gave notice that at
the proper time he shouM mnke a point
of order against this amendment. Mr.
Beverldge made the point that the only op
position to his amendment came from the
packers and that they, being the bene
ficiaries of the act, should be compelled
to pay the cost.
Interjecting an endorsement of the
amendment Senator Galllnger remarked
that he hoped that If Mr. Beverldge was
defeated today on a point of order he
would bring the question before the sen
ate In a special bill early In the next con
gress. "And we will fight this matter to
the finish and see whether the American
people are to be taxed -with an expense
which belongs to the packers."
The Beverldge amendment placing the
cost of meat Inspection on the packors was
ruled out on a point of order. The vice
president remarked that there was not a
senator present who would not have to
concede that It was aa "general legisla
tion" obnoxious to the rules of the senate.
The vice president Invited an appeal from
his decision, but none was made.
An amendment was agreed to at the sug
gestion of Mr. Heyburn which will permit
settlers on public lands In Irrigation areas
to pay up and receive title to their lands
after residence of five years without wait
ing the present prescribed time, which Is
ten years. The bill was then passed.
Philippine Bank Bill Paased.
By a vote of 43 to 14 the senate today
passed the Lodge agricultural Philippine
bank bill. The senate first laid on the table
an amendment by Mr. Culberson, disclaim
ing any Intention on the part of the United
States to remain permanently In the Phil
ippines, but asserting that whenever a
stable. Independent government shall be
established, the United States will with
draw. The amendment la Identical In lan
guage with a resolution presented In Feb
ruary, 1809, by Mr. Bacon. At that time
there was a tie vote. on the proposition,
and It was defeated by the vice president
casting his vote In the negative.
Mr. McCreary pressed the Philippine tariff
bill as an amendment to the bank bill, but
on motion of Mr. Lodge It was laid on the
table by a vote of 47 to 11.
The Philippine bank bill was amended at
the suggestion of Mr. Culberson by a re
quirement that tike banlfmay not hold
lands which it has acquired on mortgage
foreclosure longer than ten years.
Postal BUI la Passed.
The senate today passed the postofllce
appropriation bill carrying approximately
$210,000,000. '
The bill was amended to provide for the
establishment of pneumatic tube service In
Brooklyn, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Kansas
City, Pittsburg and San Francisco, for
which $1.S88,"69 was appropriated.
Mr. LaFollette secured the adoption of
an amendment requiring that all postal
cars be equipped with electric lights by
January, 1908. He also secured the adoption
of a provision requiring the average dally
weight of malls to be divided by the whole
number of the days of the week Instead ot
by six days. In arriving at the amount to
be paid for railway mall transportation.
The claim was made that ;the adoption
of this amendment will accomplish an an
nual saving of $6,000,000.
Domlaleaa Treaty Ratified.
By a vote of 4$ to 1 the senate tonight
ratified the Santo Domingo treaty. This
was one more vote In the affirmative than
was required.
The ratification of the treaty follows a
a debate In executive session, during which
Mr. Bacon of Oeorgla condemned the
treaty as worse than that negotiated In
190S, which Is now supplanted. - The 1805
treaty authorised, the United States to
examine Into the debts and pay what was
Justly due. The pending treaty, said Mr.
Bacon, provides for the scaling down of
the Dominican debts to about 50 per cent
of their face value, with the exception of
the claim of the San Domingo Improve
ment company, controlled by American

capitalists, which Is to receive about VO
per cent of the face value. These capital
ists, said Mr. Bacon, have uaed tnls gov
ernment as a catspaw. He expressed the
belief that a large part of the iebta were
fraudulent and that In providing for the
payment, without opportunity to adjust
the claims, the United States Is aiding
graft and participating in an unjust bur

Mr. Bacon suggested the senate commit
tee on foreign relations had amended the
former treaty by Inaerttng a new article
which declared that the United States
should not be responsible for any act cf
omission or commission in adjusting the
Dominican debt, and that the treaty should
not be regarded as a precedent. The pres
ent treaty. Mr. Bacon said, carefully elim
inates this provision, which he thought
was done with the Idea that the United
States might take over the Island. Mr.
Dttcon said the situation today was not
unlike that of thirty-five years ago when
President Grant made an effort to have
Santo Domingo annexed and was defeated
in this attempt by Charles Sumner.
Senator Clarke of Arkansas and Senator
Patterson favored the treaty and were the
only democrats votlngfor It.
At tufilght's session the senate passed
$00 private pension bills, clearing the cal
endar of such measures.
SHIP SUBSIDY BILL. IX HOI SE
Aareemeat to Take Flaal Vote oa
Sahstltote Friday Afternoon.
WASHINGTON. Feb. . Ship subsidy se
cured a marked Impetus today In the house,
which Just before adjournment adopted a
rula that will probably Insure the passage
by the house of the Llttauer substitute for
the senate bill and reault before the final
adjournment In positive legislation.
The rule was reported by Mr. Dalxell In
the shape of a resolution providing that
the compromise bill shall be considered
with debate limited to five hours and that
the final vote shall be taken not later than
next Friday afternoon at $ o'clock. Tho
rule was adopted by a vote of 168 to 122,
twenty-four republicans voting with the
democrats In opposition to the rule.
The rule was agTeed upon unexpectedly
by the rules committee at a meeting held
after the visit of Secretary Root to the
capltol and It was very generally under
stood that the administration was respon
sible for the committee's action.
The conference report on the Indian ap
propriation bill was adopted, as was the
conference report on the bill providing for
the allotment and distribution of Indian
tribal funds.
Mr. Williams, minority leader, opposed
the rule. Democracy, he said, was against
this measure. It was In the Interest of the
rich and against the poor; of those who
had against those who had not.
Mr. Williams thought It worse than the
tariff, because the latter professes a virtue,
while this was a naked special privilege,
saying. "It Is class legislation, naked, un
blushing, running wild."
Mr. Hlnshaw of Nebraska thought the
bill would tend to decrease the shipping
Industries of the country, and he was
opnosed to both rule and bill.
Mr. Grosvenor closed the debate on the
rule. He said the bill. If passed, will not
take a single dollar out of the treasury of
the United States, but rather add to the
profits, because It would enlarge the foreign
mall service. He continued:
"Some men have been going about here
telling the people that this bill will not
produce the building of a single ship. Let
me tell you that these contracts cannot
be awarded until there is proof that there
are at least twenty-seven ships built abso
lutely from the keel up and that they are
approved by the Navy depftment aa capa
ble of traveling sixteen knots an hour In
continuous service, built In American ship
yards and manned by American sailors.
Tbts will drive out of the contract every
ship of the Harrlman line. There Is not
one ship of the Harrlman line or one ship
of the Jim Hill line that can go ten knots
an hour under any pressure that can be
put upon it. Bo we simply propose to
extend our mall service to South America
and the orient."
The resolution, as reported from the
committee on rules, was adopted, yeas 168,
nays 122. Twenty-four republicans voted
with the democrats In opposition to the
rule, as follows:
Burton, Ohio; Campbell, Kansas; Chap
man, Illinois; Darragh, Michigan; Davis,

"There has been no loss of stock of any
kind In the Big Horn country, due to the
recent storms," said J. E. Buckingham, as
sistant general passenger agent of the Bur
lington, upon his return Monday from a
two weeks' tour of inspection over the
northwest, including the Black Hills coun
try, the Big Horn country and the new dis
trict around Worland. "Heavy losaes In
Alberta and other parts of Canada are re
ported." "The Black Hills and the northwest coun
try manifest prosperous conditions on every
hand," said Mr. Buckingham. "In the
Black Hills the government project, known
as the Belle Fourche project. Is develop
ing rapidly.
"The Huntley reclamation ditch of the
government Is practically completed to
cover a large proportion of the land. It
will be thrown open for settlement some
time this summer, and wlll.be the first of
the government propositions which will
open for settlement, probably under the
lottery plan, with water, and In condition
for the farmer to Immediately go ahead and
begin ratal ng crops.
'The government has an army of labor
ers at work on the big dam in the Shoahone
canon west of Cody. The land under the
lower dam they expecvto be able to fur
nish with water in the spring of 1908. It
will probably take two years to complete
the big dam In the 'canon. Money is being
pent without any limit to hurry these un
dertakings to a completion. It is expected
that the reservoir created by the dam In
the canon will furnish sufficient waer to
cover some 300,000 acres when completed.
Plant Seaar Beeta.
"Along the Big Horn river, under the
Hanover canal in the Lovell district, large
acreages of augar beets will be planted this
spring, the necessary contracts having been
signed up with the Billings sugar factory,
which has a capacity for 1,200 tons, per day.
of augar beets. They pay the farmers $4.50
per ton for beets delivered at the railroad.
The average acreage of sugar beets is from
fifteen to twenty tons. The average cost of
growing same is between $36 and $40. The
sugar beet crop Is the most profitable agri
cultural crop raised in the United States,
and the Big Horn Basin affords peculiarly
favorable conditions for this pursuit.

counsel for Webb and the state was rep
resented by County Attorney Shipp. The
defense demanded a change of Judge and

minutes when a verdict of acquittal was
agreed upon. The case of the State against
Ed Taysen, charged with stabbing James

has recovered from his wounds, which were
received last December, and Is now In
