SENATORS DRAFT new BILL
NEW PLAN TO CARRY ON IRRl-
CATION WORK IN WASHING
TON is PROPOSED.
Bonds Be Issued to Carry on Recla-
nation of Arid Lands When
Fund Runs Low.

United States Senator Samuel H.
Piles is preparing to introduce bill
during the coming session of congress
providing for the organization of ir-
rigation districts, and the borrowing
of money when the reclamation fund
is inadequate to make necessary i'm
provements.
The details of his bill have not yet
been worked out by Senator Piles
but he has discussed its general pro-
visions with men interested in arid
land belts, and 1t meets with their
approval The fact that the secretary
of the interior has recently ruled that
there is no money available for WASH
ington projects increased Senator
Piles belief that his plan is feasible
and correct one.
Senator Piles said yesterday before
leaving Seattle:
'In a general way, I propose that
when there is no money available In
the reclamation fund and a worthy
proiect is approved, that, upon petit
tion or agreement among a majority
of the land owners in the district, the
secretary of the interior may issue
bonds to defray the costs of the I'M
provement.
"This bond issue would naturally
have to draw interest and would nave
to he taken up as soon as the recla-
nation fund became wealthy enough
TO do so. But in the meantime a great
and needed work could, in some IN
stances be completed on borrowed
capital
"Something of this character will
have to be done. There are import
ont districts in this state for in
stance. where reclamation work Is
absolutely necessary, yet where the
lack of funds is holding back the i'm
movement. If authority in law exist
ed for carrying on the undertakng
bv borrowing money necessities could
he met, the country would soon be de-
veloped more rapidly and there "ouio
he no loss of any kind.
81 have not fully considered the
nronosal. but 1 am going to try TO
work out something along that nne
I shall consult first with Senator
NewIands and others closely identineo
with the irrigation work before l draft
my bill"
Senator Ankeny will work WIN
Senator Piles in drafting the new
bill and it is the hope OF the people
in Eastern Washington that the meas
IRE may receive favorable consioera-
ton in the coming session OF congress.

Martin Saw No GambIino.

In voting in the negative Council
man Martin said he wanted to explain
his position by stating that he was
around saloons good deal and he had
seen no gambling going on for
months.
Mexican asked Kirkman if the four
councilmen leading the reform move
ment had conclusive evidence that
gambling mad been going on in the
saloons whose licenses had been re-
voked What he wanted to know was
if games We're conducted openly in the
saloons or in the basement or upper
floor Kirkman said he had evidence
that he felt sure was authentic. On
this showing Mexican voted with the
majority, saying that ne did so on be-
ing assured that the evidence could
be sustained. He thought it strange,
however, that Martin, Bachtold and
himself had not been taken into the
confidence of the other four council
men while the Investigations had been
going on.
Play Fair to All.
Cox took a logical view of the gam
bling situation by stating that he felt
positive that the council, if it was
convinced that an error had been
made in revoking a saloon mans Ii
cense who was not guilty OF open
violations, would do justice to the in
iured party intimating that a renew
al of the license would follow.
