Wm. E. Smythe Discusses the Colo
 radO River Problem

William E. Smythe is the first man, so far as we are informed. to take up the question of the Colorado river and discuss it from the standpoint of jus tice to the United States and the peo- ple of this valley. In his Fourth of Tuly address he discussed the threaten ing situation on the Colorado river and urged that the annexation of Lower California would be the true, states manlike solution of the difficulty. On this topic he spoke in part as follows:
 Has the expansion of the Republic toward the southwest permanently ended with the establishment of the city and county of San Diego? In considering this question, we instinc lively look across the mountains to the great desert where rolls the Colo rado. While we are celebrating the past, the memorable river Is making history in the present.
 The government of the United States, first through its administration and ;thensthroueh committees of both houses of congress, deliberately refused to coun :enance a private monopoly in the waters of the Colorado. Then the representatives of that monopoly. de- claring that they would accomplish their object regardless of the wishes of the United States. applied to the gov ernment of Mexico and obtained the most sweeping rights to the waters of the stream. In pursuance of those rights, they proceeded to make a new heading just below the international boundary on Mexican soil.
 Through that new heading, made with the consent of Mexico in utter disregard of the attitude of the United States. like an angel of wrath came the whole volume of the Colorado submerging railroads and industries destroying shomes. farms andl towns and threatening to lay waste not only the opuIent Imperial Valley but the region higher up the stream in Arizona and California for whose benefit the United States is now constructing massive works of reclamation.

Prominent Seattle Attorney Here.

John P. Hartman, a prominent Sc
attic attorney, was in the city Mon
day. Mr. Hartman is the legal
representative of the Hartman int
erests in Seattle, and his presence in
the city was thought to have some
connection with the various railroad
runors afioat in this city. Mr.. Hart
mans visit here was however of a
purely private nature. He is a great
admirer of the Yakima valley and
spoke enthusiastically of its future
prospects. He said:
II would not be surprised in the
course of fifteen or twenty years to
see the Yakima valley supporting a
population of from 400, 900 to $780,
00o people. When you stop to con-
slider that New Hampshire supports
that large a population on about the
same acreage of land that you have
that is irrigabie. and one Of your
acres producing as much as five of
theirs, there Is not so much that is
startling in this statement.
The state of Washington Is to be
The seat of much active railroad build
ing within the next two years. Mil
lions of dollars will be expended in
construction work and terminals. and
the Yakima valley will get some of IT,.
There is no question but several rail-
roads are figuring on entering the
Yakima valley. 1t is only natural
that they should. with the immense
quantities Of produce you have to
market. Seattle is also receiving
much attention from the transconti-
mental roads, and all the available
water front and tide lands are being
bought up for railroad purposes"

adopted the proposed state road that

stated that ii would be constructed
along the west side of the Natchez
river from Oak Flat, through Cow
litz pass to the other side of the
mountains.
The road has been in contempla-
ton for some time, but there has
been considerable question as to
which side Of the river would be Sc
lected. The site on the west side has
been selected and the survey made.
The chances are thar construction

been advertised for and accepted.
This Formally, It is thought. Will
not take over sixty or ninety days.

There is in progress in this city
a religious revival that is a most
remarkable one. At any rate, 1t
would have been considered re-
markable a few short years ago. BY
reason Of the fact that all protestant
denominations in the city are par
ticipating in its work. The meet
ings are addressed by the pastors
of the various congregations in turn.
and members OF all churches are BE-
coming interested in the auxiliary
work of the revival. Not long ago
such thing would have been impos-
sible; but in the broadening OF
mems minds and the enlightenment
OF the age all things are possible.
and the beginning of the greatest
harvest the church has ever seen.
