ITS PASSAGE.
Washington, May %. - The ir.
rigation bill was resumed in t he
house again today and tho Sc favoring
the bill are encouraged OF course they
expected TO pass their bin in the SEN
ate, but they did not expect to receive
so much support from men whose
states are not to be directly benefited
by the measure. Senator uanshrough
has been receiving the congratulations
of his fellow senator's for the manner
in which he handled the bill in the SEN
ate. He made but one brief speech on
it when first reported. Then he watch
| ed his chance and slipped the bill in
| behind the Philippine tariff bill as the
unfinished business. Without antago-
nizlng any one and only answering such
questions as We're necessary he kept
the measure 10 the front until Ii was
| passed. But what encoura ges these
men from the west is the cordial in
dorsement etyen the bill BY Sena ors
Hoar and Gallingor from New England
states and Tillman, Bacon and Clay
from the southern states. If the sen
timents which these men express per-
meates members 81 Tie banse from he
same sections, there ought 70 te 4 fair
chance to get the bill through tie
house.
Newlands In the House.
The irrigation bill is known as the
TIr
measures were identical as introduced
in both houses. The Nevada repre-
sentative was not qIite successful in
getting it reported from the commit
tee on arid lands as he introduced it.
but still he is glad to get it before the
! house. If 1t ever passes. any material
| differences will be arranged in con-
fereuce. The great difficulty Will be in
getting consideration in TIE house.
Speaker Henderson is not believed to
be very much in favor of 1t. but if q
majority asks for it's consideration the
committee on rules may decide to
grant time. The western men have
been working earnestly for the bill
and are making converts THE fact
| that the president is outspokef or 4
is a great help, and this is being used
with good effect
An Orsgon Senator's Move.
When Senator Mitchell FIRST went
west he sailed to Panama. crossed the
Isthmus and thence up the coast, set
tling at San Obispo, Cal Il came

Senator Mitchell to a party of friends.
Il intended to settle at San Obispo
and begin the practice of law 1t was
a small place. There was only one
woman there" AS he paused some

moved on" 81 said" continued SEN
ator Mitchell, "that there was only one

elected to the senate four times and

grateful to Senator Mitchell, for nO
man has done more for the state in
congress than he.
Representatives Reappear.
| For two months certain number of
representatives have been "out of
sight" Seldom would they be seen in
the house even to answer to roll calls,
and then only in case of urgent neces-
| sity. The fact that they did occasion
ally respond to their names showed
! that they were somewhere about the
| capitol. But cards could never find
| them in the house, and seldom could
they be found elsewhere. These men
were Burton, Ohio; Reeves, Illinois;
| DovenOr, West Virginia; Bishop. Mich
| igan; Acheson, Pennsylvania; Morris,
| Minnesota; Alexander New York;
Tongue, Oregon; Lawrence, AIassachu-
setts; Davidson, WISCONSIN; McLach-

head, Alabama; McCnIloch Arkansas;
| Sparklnan, Florida; Ball, Texas and
Ransdell, Louisiana. They could be
seen by those who went to the capitol
early or remained there late, for they
were away among the first to arrive
and the last to leave. They were bur
