Ask Roosevelt to Help.

President Roosevelt will be asked
by the National Irrigation associa-
ton to decide between the aban-
fnent Or the carrying out of the Pa
louise irrigation project by the gov
eminent. G. Eugene Bortle, secre-
tary of the northwest section, re-
turned to Spokane yesterday from
Walla Walla, where he had long
conference with Senator Levi An
keny. This new move to secure
the project is the result of that con-
ference
The petition to President Roose-
welt is prepared and will be circu-
lated in Franklin county next week
for signatures. Mass meetings
that will be addressed by Mr.. Bor-
tie aud c. l.. Smith have been
called at Pasco Friday, at Eltopia
Monday, at Cornell Tuesday, at
Washtuchna Wednesday and at
Kahlotus Thursday. The local Sec
ton of the national movement has
3l1 members. The petition reads
in part:
ITO the President--Sir: In the
Spokesman Review of April ~ an
interview with A. P. Davis, as
sistant chief engineer Of the re-
clamation service, quotes him as
saying the expense of the Palouse
irrigation project will be so great
that it is doubtful if it can be car
ried through now. Now, we, the
undersigned citizens of Franklin
county, and the state of Washing

"The government has expended
in investigating this project a lars'
sum of money, extending over ;

who complain because they can't

We know a few self-respecting

not want on the aforesaid list, but
will not put The Times OH their

like this inspired the above NEIL

scum OF Natural History in New York.
Specimens of gold ores of the great

His Dream.

WHAT might be termed "a mean
trick" was played on a Kansas City
young man at the race track the other
day. One night he had n dream
in which he saw himself wearing n
red carnation and playing the races.
In the dream he was winning big rolls
OF money. Yesterday morning he told
one of his friends about the dream
and said he intended to wear red
carnation and play the races. In the
meantime his friend told half n dozen
OF the young mans acquaintances
about the dream, and they all wore
red carnations to Elm Ridge. Before
the first race one of the conspirators
met the young man who had had the
dream.
Say. joe" he said. 81 had dream
last night that that II wore n red car

AS they started for the betting ring

chorus. Il had n dream"
