WASHTUCNA TRACKS.

Washington, April Although a
great deal of secrecy is being main.
tanned by the reclamation service in
regard to the negotiations to secure a
site for the reservoir which is to sup.
ply water for the proposed Palouse irri-
cation project, it is learned that the
discussion with the railroad company
has narrowed down to the question Of
how much the government shall pay to
the company for removing its tracks
from the Washtucna coulee. It is in
the coulee that the irrigation engineers
propose to establish the reservoir for
the whole Palouse scheme.
There is line of about twelve miles
in the coulee itself which will have to
be transferred to higehr ground, out Of
reach of the water which is to fill the
reservoir. These tracks are Of q tenn
porary character and the roadbed is in.
ferior, as the line was built for freight
and not for fast passenger traffic. The
company demands that the government
shall pay large part of the expense
of moving the tracks, but as the rail.
road is to be benefited enormously by
the irrigation Of great tract of land,
there is pretty strong feeling that the
company ought to meet the expense on
its own account. The negotiations are
still in progress.
