A the triumphant climax of hi visit to (''ilnratlu, 1'remileut Taft oeiiet the gatni of tli fi,mHi.o0 (iimniwin tunnel, turning the How of a river Into the inacnihei iit Ixire ml the niain ami iliMtrihuting ra uala, and thereby recUituett toenor iiioim prixliirfivity an arid euipire of l.Vt.tMNi aire. The oMiiing of thia tunnel marked the dirupietion uf one of the most ntuiendiHM irri gating pri'levta ever attempted and will tranalorm a dewrt into fertile farm which will provide home ami good iuromefl far not lexi than IO.ihkI familien. The viwt of the I'reitleiil to Mon trtKte ami the opening of the tunnel van made the oeeaMiou of a great celebration in which practically the entire population of thia (tec tum of Colorado participated. A programme of "Wild West" con tetda ami amusements, including a race of pretty cowgirls mounted on their own Meet pouies, was carried out for the delectation of the din tinguuthed visitors. To a ranch ma n in Delta county, Col., mutit l given the credit for conceiving the idea of building the longest irrigation tunnel in the world, lie knew that the l iiconi pahge valley in the southwestern part of Colorado, and iu which I Mia county is located, was as fer tile as any locality in the West if an adequate water supply could be tocurcd. Half a dozen miles away from the valley theliunnison river was Mowing to waote between the walls of a canyon which sometime ran up as high as 2,.MK) feet aliove the river bed, and it seemed im IHwsililo that the water could ever lie taken out for irrigation pur poses. When this ranchman, Meade Hammond, liecame a luemlier of the Colorado legislature, bo pro pounded his scheme, which was to liuild a tunnel six miles long under the mountain range which separat ed the river from the valley, car rying the water of the river through the tunnel ami thence over the val ley i n i r rigation d itches. The scheme at tirst looked vis ionary, but ffj'i.ooo spent in pre liminary work convinced the Mate of Colorado that it was fcaMblo. The United States reclamation ser vice was aked for help and it opent four yearn in investigating la-fore it undertook the work ol building the tunnel, which has tak en up another four years. The total cost of the tunnel will lie over fi,(HK,iMl0, but the pecu liar feature is that I'ncle Sam only loans this money to the farmers who are to be lienefited by receiv ing water. On all the million ipent by the government in vari ous public improvements, this is probably the tirst time iu history that any of the money has been paid back. The total cost of build ing tin) tunnel is to lie divided among the farmers, according to the acreage they posses. It was said that 10,lNl(l families could find homes and good iucomes ou this laud, and the ktatement was in uo way exaggerated. IVlta county, iu which a greater part of the land is located, is one of the richest fruit producing sections in the West and the biggest iu the State of Colorado. Any frull grow er who makes less than (Its) an acre oil' his land thinks he has had a crop failure, and the profits have run up as high as tl'OO. With an average of f l!0t, or even less, off a 1 acre tract, it will be seen that the farmer will have a good income. The great fertility of the laud was one of the points which determined the government to build the tunnel. One can get some slight idea of the size of the tunnel from figures. It is six miles long and a cross sec tion is VI by IS feet. Kvery inch of it is cement lined and it delivers 1,300 cubic feet of water every sec ond. As the water Hows out into the ditches it will be used to de velop electricity to furnish light and power for ivlta comity. And all built for the interest of l.'sOoO, 1100 for ten years, which is the time given the farmers to payback their money. In the four years it took to blast nut the Uuunison tunnel many thrilling experiences came to the men engaged in the work. It was a long and tireless task, boring through the eternal fastnesses of the huge mountain. For the most The Monroe Brick Co. SELLS all the Rrick they make. Why? BECAUSE they make the best brick on the market and sell the cheapest BECAUSE thev treat everybody alike and make one price to all. BECAUSE they give prompt attention to all orders and don't let you wait for brick. rt the rock is volcanic in charac ter of the Archaic period, tough and olslurate. There were adven tures along the route. A few times there were lucky finds iu the way of nugget of gold. Several times they encountered streams of but water, but more often streams of cold water, Nome of them highly mineral io character. Sometimes following the heavy blasts million of gallons of water rushed iu upon the workmen, who had to list tie for their Uvea. Xear the valley eud of the tunnel an old oeeau bed was found and in the rock count less numbers of sea shells of differ ent aie. Through this rock the work was very dangerous and re quired constant timbering. Iu the spring of 1!MI5 the drills ran into an underground stream which caused a cave in aud for 4 hours a number of workmen were buried alive, A shaft was sunk from the outside and the men were saved. A number of the meu caught io the rave-in were pinned down by rocks, but those who were free to work shoveled up dikes to keep the water away from their injur ed comrades aud thus saved their lives, Mr. Dooley's Wise Conclu sion About the North Pole. M'iiks Dr. Cook aud Command er Peary announced the discovery of the North I'ole, Mr. Ikioley (Finley Peter Duuue), the Irish philosopher, expressed the beliel that both were telling the truth. "I'll belave euny man, Hinuissy," said lie, "who has lived on tallow candles and dog for two years." lint subsequent "tistymony" has caused Mr. Dooley to change his mind. Hear him: "Th' other day, Hinuissy, I told ye that I thought both iv these here inthrepid explorers had dis covered th' North Pole. I've had to change me mind about it. A ft It er lookin' over th' tistymony iv both gallant souls, study iu' it care fully an' makin' all allowances fr typographical errors an' pwtic li cense, I'm foorced to say that th' weight iv ividenee goes to show that nayther iv them was at th' North Pole. It's aisy to figure out. Peary is a man iv umbleiuished character. Ivrybody admits that. He settles Cook. lie says Cook niver was nearer th' North Pole thiu th' stove iu an Kskymo's home that was named aft her him. Ou Peary's onsuported statement I am prepared, Hinuissy, to say that Cook is an impostor. Hut, on th' other hand, Cook says Peary did discover th' North Pole, He's his principal witness. Hut Peary says Cook is a liar. An' there ye ar-re. "Peary has proved conclusively to me mind that Cook was niver at th North Pole. I'd take his wurrud fr it alone, but he backs it up with ividenee. He'll lie able to show that th' sieed th' Dock says he made was impossible. He thraveled more thin half as fast as Peary. He says he'll show l th' ividenee iv thrutliful an' veerary ous l-Nkymos that th' Dock was niver out ir sight iv land. Who ar re th' Kskymos, says yet Th' 8'ime relible witnesses Dock Cook brings for'ard to establish his claim to be th' first in that gr-reat Cana jeen suburb! No less! Th' very men that accompanyed him ou that dhread journey, bis lile ser vants, his faithful companyons, who rode over th' froxen seas with him, shot th' nmskox an' th' polar bear with him, divided their last gum dhrop with him, pinted out th' Pole to him an' give him a cer tificate to take back with bim! "Hut Dock Cook's indictment of Peary is aven more crush in'. Th' malignant spirit iv th' man is shown in his rejoiiidher. He en dorses Peary's claim! "Well, sir, th' Lord save nie fr'iu discover in' anny thing. If I can believe what both these here giu'rous foes says about each oth er, th' govermiut ought to stop thiin at Kilta island as oudesirable immygrauts. Dock Cook says, says he: 'I do not wish to say anny thing fr publication about mo old eomuiaudher, but if he don't re turn th' kag Iv blubber an' th' bag iv gum dhroishe stole fr'iu nie but last year, I'll go to th' polis nliout it. Did ye notice his watcht I make no charges but it he shows au open face silver watch marked with th' initials Dock Cook to show that he's been at th' North Pole, let me know,' says he.

Wylie, former uiemiM'r of the board, today made a clean rut roufnMoti, giving not ouly the details of the Iransactious iu which he received commissions from Farnum, now ou trial, but also the whole scheme of commis sions which it had been agreed should be paid on purchases by the board. Mr. Wylie stood a crows exami nation at the hands of Col. P. II. Nelson without llinchingatid with out deviating iu any way from the story told iu his direct testimony. He declared that before his dec tion to the board, iu l'MMi, Karnum had approached him aud said Wy lie could make a good deal ou the side if elected, and that Farnum hail contributed $.vsi to bis cam paign excuses. He declared that there was later made au arrange- meut between Karnum and himself by which payments were made through drafts payable to Henry Samuels, now mayor of Chester, who cashed the drafts and turned the proceeds over to Wylie. He would merely tell Sjuiuels to get the money for him on an ordet aud he knew that Samuels would get it. Samuels himself represented liquor houses in one way or another. Mr. Wylie said that in eleveu mouths' service on the Isiard he had made over $.'S,(Ski iu this way. hen he went on the Isiard he was worth S1.V00O to J'-'O.ooo, but CJiild not say how much be is worth now, as be bad siient a good deal of the money made through the dispensary. As to the motive for his confes sion, his attorney, Mr. Paul Hemp hill of Chester, had assured him that if he would tell the truth he would not Is? prosecuted, but he had not beeu promised immunity from civil suit lo recover the mou ey for the State. He had not in tended to give back any of the re bates. The Slate dispensary system of handling liquor in South Carolina, established by Tillman, liecame notoriously corrupt. Disiiensary Isiards ami managers of dispensa ries were briliedby representatives of liquor houses to secure orders. This system of bribery ami graft became so notorious that an inves tigation was begun a year or so ago. Payment of money due liquor dealers for liquor furnished dispell siuics was held up until the i lives ligation could lie made. There upon the liquor dealers applied to Judge Pritchard, ou the ground that they were to lie defrauded of their money, and Pritchard took the matter out of the hands of the State, to which it was restored by the I nited States Supreme court, which overruled Pritchard. F'ar mini, who is alleged brilicd the dis lensary Isiard to buy liquor from the house he represented, is now on trial at Columbia and the story of the grafting is told by Wylie, who was a member of the board. WHIPPED MAN TO DEATH. Four Men at Dyson, 3. C, Under Arrest on Charge of Heating a Negro to Death. ColtimMa iWleli. As a result of au iu vest igat ion started from the Governor's oflice, Sheriff McMillan of Greenwood to day arrested four men, including a ringleader in the person of llcury Williamson, at Dyson, charged with beating a negro to death. The four are now iu jail awaiting a thorough investigation. The Governor called ou the sher iff to explain whv the negro had beeu taken from jail where he had liecn placed for alleged violation of a contract with Williamson. The sheriff said he was away at the time and the jailer aud bis deputy were sick ; that the negro hail lieen put there by the police. The Govennor directed in in to go to Dyson at once and invest! gate. This evening the Governor received the following: "Four de fendants charged not with taking negro from ail, but with whipping him to death near Dyson, are un der arrest aud the gathering of tes timony is progressing well." Solicitor Cooper 'phoned from Laurens that he would also go to the scene and make au Investiga tion. Magistrate lingers of Ninety Six and the jury he summoned on Sat urday to hold an inquest over the negro and which resulted, in a ver dict that the negro came to his death from heart failure will also be investigated. A negto who was a witness at the Inquest today at his own request was placed iu fail as a witness. He says he knew the negro had lieen whipped to death but was intimidated into swearing falsely at the inquest. One of the jurors has said that the body show ed the negro baa been whipped to death. The negro was taken from the Greenwood jail in the daytime. A curious fact In connection with this case is that the ringleader is an ex convict who was convicted on a former charge of whipping a negro to death. He was sent to the pen itentiary, but was pardoned by Governor Heyward, his petition being numerously signed on ac count of his wife and children. lAKfK WOKKCU COTTON UK.)

The thief received a check for .';. II. having really sold one latle of cotton. A young white mau represent ing himself to be C. K. Jones, a farmer, not givitig his address, yes terday morning sold a bale of rot ton at 1J cents to A. P. rpchurrh, the street buyer for liartice & Co., Juuea receiving a bid ticket, which had the figure I marked iu the left baud corner More the word bales. This is the usual course iu pur chasing cotton ou the street. Jones drove to the platform where Mr. Pulley, the weigher, weighed the bale and gave Jones bis weigher's certificate, showing the bale to be H! (Hjuuds. Jones then put a tig ure 1 before the similar figure on the street buyer's bid ticket and a figure I before a similar figure on the weigher's certificate, making iu IkiUi lUNlauces 11 bales instead of I. He also added after the figures representing the weight of the one liale a hit of figures representing the weight of ten fictitious bales, ranging from HIT to 501 pounds. Jones then proceeded to the of fice of lUils , Co., ou the cotton exchange, where the amount sup posed to be due hiui was worked out by Mr. Claude Harbee, a mem ls?r of the hrui. Mr. Haibee thought it strange that one man should have picked eleven bales of new cotton, and thought to question Jones, but was pressed for time. He gave the mau a check lor ft.i.-ll ou the t orn mercial National Hank, and Jones beat a rapid ret i eat, having his check cashed immediately. This was at 1 1 o clock. A few hours later Mr. Pulley, the cottou weigh er, brought his carbon copy of the weigher s certilicate, ami immedi ately tho forget y was discovered, but too late, as Jones bad made away with the money. An examination of the bale of cotton sold by Jones showed no marks aud did not indicate where it had Isi'ii ginned. This had led the authorities to believe that the deed was done by a snakier.
