iOus to See 1t Passed.
WASHINGTON, Sept. .2S.-Representa-
tive Lucas of South Dakota has created
any amount of interest in the West

week ago. Hundreds of letters are
daily coming to him from nearly every
Western state interested in the reclaim
alton OF arid lands, asking him as to
the extent of the purpose Of the meas
ure. It seems that the plan is one of

sented at any previous session. If the
matter can be handled in the right
way there is strong hope among West
ern members that some such law as
proposed by Lucas can be passed.
