as follows: S10,0 900 for Investigate
ing the Kootenai river and a sur
vey of the overfiowed areas; $751;
COG for the survey Of the Occur
d'Alene reservation; SIS, 900 fol-
the establishment of a fish hatchery
and a bill to clear the distractions
in the channel of Salmon river.
On these bills Congressman French
is up against a hard proposition,
and it will be little short of a mir
acle if he succeeds in getting any of
them through the House. The out
look, however, is very encouraging
that all these bills will be put
through at the next session Of con-
gress. At this session the House
seems to have decided to grant no
appropriations of this character to
Idaho or any other state.
Mr.. Clifford Pinchot, Forester, of
the United States Department of
Agriculture, will be the guest of
Senator Hepburn for several weeks.
Mr.. Pinchot expects to give consider
able personal attention to the matter
of Idaho's forest reserves, and will
give heed to the statements of Ida
hoans whose interests are affected
by the withdrawal of large forested
areas.
Senator Dubois, in reply to the
published statement that he intends
to make his future residence in
Boise, today said: "While I great
ly admire Boise and have many
friends in that community, I have
never thought Of changing my resi-
dence from Blackfoot where I have
for twenty-four years. Boise
is a very beautiful and attractive
but all of my property inter-
ests are located at Blackfoot, and
here is no likelihood that I shall
soon removs therefrom."
Senator and Mrs. Hepburn, ac-
by the formers sister,
Mrs. G. II. Batting and her two
of Mt. Clair, New Jersey,
allied at the White House and paid
heir respects to the President.
The Geological Survey is plan
ing a great deal of work in Idaho

The general charge Of the hydro
work has been placed in the

nder the general supervision Of
Engineer D. w. Ross. Mr..

in southeastern Idaho and
IL do considerable reconnaissance
ork on the headwaters Of some Of
le streams in this section. One Of

c stations east of Shoshone, besides
on reconnaissance work on ,
e headwaters Of Snake river. This
'd%rographer will be charged also

measurements Of canals in upper
axe valley. It is probable that
ditional stations will be established =
Big Lost River above Mackey, {
Wood River in the vicinity Of
alley, and two stations on Snake 8,
YER, one near Blackfoot and one
Swan Falls. The increase in
stations has been rendered -
;essary by the interest taken late r
by various communities in irriga- =
4 development. The gagings are
serve as a basis Of estimates of
possibilities Of future work. In VI
