that the friends Of irrigation will again at
tempt to secure appropriations through the
river and harbor bill, should the house not
pass the general irrigation measure now
before 1t. He said. ''Those who have here
tofore asked for aid In arid land recla>
nation through the medium of the river
and harbor bill have not changed their
minds and have not lost interest In the sub
ject, though they have not made an effort
to amend the current river and harbor
bill. The senate having passed a general
irrigation measure those who have for
merly opposed the river and harbor bill be-
cause the subject Of irrigation was ignored

not pass favorably upon the pending irri-
CATION bill and we get no relief there we
shall be again compelled to appeal to the
senate for appropriations in the river and
harbor bill, for building dams and reser'
voirs for irrigation and the regulation o.
