IRRIGATION TO WAIT
SECRETARY REJECTs TETON
AND 0KANOGAN PROJECTS.
To Reclaim Lands Would Deplete
the Reclamation Fund, Leav
ing No Reserve.

Contrary to all expectations. Sec
retary Hitchcock has rejected the
Tieton and Okanogan irrigation pro-
jects in Washington. Secretary
Hitchcock refused to approve the pro-
jects on the ground that the cost of re-
clamation would be 81, 10000 which
is more than the reclamation fund
could stand at this time. He admits
that the sum of $1,000, 900 is not 81
per cent of the total amount of money
contributed by the Washington re-
clamation fund, but insists that to be-
gin work on the Tieton and Okanogan
project would leave him without re-
serve fund with which to meet emer-
geEcy cases in Washington.
He believes in always keeping a
good sum Of money on hand, with
which to relieve distressed homestead
ers, by buying up neighboring canals,
thus alleviating the conditions and
protecting homesteaders. No other
reason is assigned for the defeat of
these two projects.
There Is now pending before the
secretary the Sunnyside canal project,
which involves the purchase of Sunny
side canal in the Yakima valley which
is now in private hands.
This project contemplates the re-
clamation Of 10000 acres of land,
and it is estimated will cost about
81. 500. 900.

COL. 0vERHOLT's STAND.

FIeewater Editor Answers Query
Straight From the Shoulder.
Col. Miles Overholt, editor of the
Freewater Times, is evidently man
of few words, but full of ginger and
action. One of the Colonel's sub
scribers, with busy, buzzing bee of
inquisitiveuess circulating around in
his Uranium, wrote the Freewater edi-
tor letter the other day, asking for
public introduction as to how he (the
editor) stood on the question of better
morals. The editor didn't devote his
entire editorial page to discussion of
the moral wave; neither did he give a
biographical sketch of his member
ship aud life work in the Y. Nj. G. A.
He came back at the inquisitive sub
scriber with this:
"We take it that you want to know
the policy of this great family journal
regarding prohibition, local option
and such. We stand with both feet
firmly planted in the middle OF the
fence. And we are going to stay
there. You couldn't coax us off either
side.
eFreewater is foo small and the
Times is too insignificant, eompara-
lively speaking, for us to indulge in
any one-sided arguments. We knew
a fellow once who argued all the time
on one side of his subject, and he
argued himself in Jail.
eff The Times were TO sing song
on boozeology, the chances would be
very favorable fer us to diminish our
supply of white paper, and that
wouldn't be giving the paper house
a fair deal.
"This precinct is very much in
separate packages when voting time
comes around, and we want all the
subscribers we can get.
sOf course, we expect to be accused
of lack of nerve and all that rot,
but we know better than anybody else
how we feel on this subscription and
advertising proposition. The editors
