Canal In Reservation.

In the house last Friday, Representa-.
tive Jones introduced bill providing
for right-of-way and permission to be
given the Yakima Irrigation Company
to construct an irrigation canal through
the Yakima Indian reservation. The
bill further provides that the company
shall have the right to appropriate and
use any and all water necessary for it's
use from the Yakima river, not other
wise appropriated and in actual use at
the time of the passage of the act, or
that may not be necessary for domestic
and irrigation purposes of any Indian to
whom an allotment has been made or
shall hereafter be made upon the Yak
ina river. 1t grants the company sui.
ficient land for storage reservoirs and
right-of-way connecting these reservoirs
with the irrigation canal.
The secretary of the interior is to fix
the amount OF compensation to be paid
to Indians for such damages as may be
sustained by them by reason of con,
struction of the canal, and to provide
the time and manner of payment. 1t is
required that the canal be constructed
within ten years, and that five miles be
constructed within three years under
penalty of forfeting all their rights

THE LETTER.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 3, 1901

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 3, 1901.
DEAR SIR:-I herewith enclose you a
copy of bill which | have introduced
relative to the sale OF grazing lands in
the state of Washington. l would like
very much indeed to have expressions
from you and from your readers as to
your views in regard to this bill and any
suggestions that you and they may see
fit to make by way of amendment or
otherwise. The bill was prepared by me
and the intention OF the same is to assist
farmers especially and any suggestions
that will help along this line will be
cheerfully incorporated in the bill. A
brief synopsis of the bill and its provis-
ions are as follows:
~ The bill provides for the sale of purely
grazing lands at .25 per acre, rs cents
cash and the balance in four equal an
nual payments. Sales can be made on
tracts not exceeding 800 acres. Only
persons who own land, or are occupying
land under the land laws of the United
States, can purchase, and only one pur-
chase can be made by any one individ-
ual. Furthermore, the tract purchased
must be contiguous to the tract owned
or occupied by the purchaser. Anyone
who is not entitled to the land he occu-
pies can not get a patent until after he
does get title to the original tract.
believe that measure something
like this would be Of great benefit to our
farmers. 1t would leave the great body
of grazing lands, of course, open as it
now is, but to the farmers along the
edges OF grazing lands, whose tract may
adjoin tract OF public land, they can
secure tract for pasturage. under
stand that, through the eastern part of
our state, there are many tracts of what
are called "scab" lands adjoining farms
which are fit for nothing tbut grazing.
Now, under this bill, the farmer could
purchase tract not exceeding 800 acres.
He could fence and thus develop the pas
ture land. If the amount of the pur-
chase, 320 acres, is considered too large
it might be cut down to 100 acres. 1t
must be considered that, for the land
contemplated to be sold, .25 is rather a
high price, but think great many can
afford to pay this much in order to Sc
cure the exclusive use of tract OF land
for pasturage purposes. This also would
result in benefit to the county and state
because it would make the land taxable.
Many other reasons might be suggest
ed in favor of bill of this character and
I assure you that will appreciate any
suggestions that you or your readers
may have to present either for or
against the proposition.
Very sincerely yours,
w. l.. JONES.

SLOANE TO RIDE AGAIN.
Reinstatement by English Stewards
Said to BE Assured.

Tod Sloane, acknowledged to be the
greatest of all Jockeys, will be in the saddle
again next season, and he will do all his
riding in this country. Ever since the Eng
lish Jockey Club refused to renew his
license Tod has been idle, with the exeep-
ton of a few mounts in California. He
was told that unless he could get license
to ride in England it would be waste Of
time for him to apply to the Jockey Club
here for permission to ride. The rulings Of
the English Jockey Club are the law here,
because in England finding Of the Ameri-
can turf governing body has the full effect
of PRONUNCIATION of the English body.
According to reports, Sloane has been as
sured that the ban will be taken off him in
England within few weeks. 1t is known
that this assurance has reached the Jockey
Club in this country, for Tod has been in
formed that the moment he is restored to
good standing abroad he can have a license
to ride here. That is just what Sloane Is
after, for an engagement which Will yield
him even more money than Danny Maher
will get for riding for King Edward has
been offered him.
Sloane has no idea Of returning to Eng
land He has had enough of the English
game. If he "makes good on the tracks
of the metropolitan circuit he will be salts

Lanky Bob Says He is the One Man

Unless personal friends Of Bob Fftzsim-
mons are very much mistaken there Is an
excellent prospect that Fitz will once more
reconsider his determination to retire from
the ring, and will make q match with Jim
Jeffries. Jeffries should reach New York
tomorrow. He has announced that he Is
going right after Fitzsirnmons to make him
fight or acknowledge that his title to the
championship is without a flaw. AS Fitz
cannot consistently agree to the first propo-
sition after the many cracks he has made.
there is very good chance, everything
considered, that he will a gree to once more
meet the champion in the squared circle.
During the last few months the Horton
law was in existence, when there was big
money in NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. was very
busy man. He defeated Rubin and Shark
ey in rapid succession, and made startling
offer to knock Jeffries out in short order,
which offer the champion, for reasons Of his
own, declined to accept Then Fttzsimmons
retired, or, as he expresses it, 81 died with
the Horton law"
Fitz has time and again told his friends
that he is the one man In the world that
can beat Jeffries. He insists he was doped
the night JEFF beat him at Coney Island,
two years and a half ago, and, according to
his friends, Fitz will never be satisfied until
he wipes out that defeat. The ex-champion
weight class could draw anything like the
house that he would with Jeffries.
Fftzsimmons' friends argue that IL JEFF
fries is as anxious to meet Fitz as he pro-
fesses to be, he will doubtless be willing to
guarantee Fitz a big slice of the purse, win
or lose. Thus Fitzsimmons will have an
opportunity to get revenge for the doings
of June 8, 1880, at Coney Island. and at the
same time secure enough money to keep
him in comfort for several years.

at Fitzsimmons, trying to get him to meet
Jeffrfes. The ex-champion has listened at

New York racing men are fearful that
with the advent of the rell-Sullivan fac

tracks-the Empire City and the MetropoIi-

among the race-track owners which has so

clubs will make will stir up a bitter strife.
The Jockey Club stewards, not being used
to dictation in the matter of things per-

not brook at this late day change in the
old order of affairs. They have been too
long dealing out orders to have this polit-

are autocrats and will not tolerate it. A
