RECLAMATION PROJECTS DELAYED.
Scarcity of Labor and High Wages and
Prices Affect Work in Northwest.

Washington April 1.-THE scarcity OF labor in
the Northwest the increase in the price Of ma
terials and also Iu the of wages have caused
great Gelav In carrying out government reclama-

day bv y H Savage, division engineer of the

Montana and North Dakota. Mr. Savage said that
in projects already contracted for the government
was getting work done less than railroad
work Of the same character in the same districts
The reason was that when the government began
It's irrigation work bids receivable from con
tractors Of every character, only requisite being

took work low that they have since failed. The
railroads receive bids from only a select few and

BILL PASSED
House Measure Would hid IN Trust
Case Prosecutions.
From The rr,bun. Rureau.l


Washington. April 1.-THE House passed
bill to-day to regulate appeals in criminal prose-
cutons. which, If 1t passes the Senate and be-
comes a law. will prove of immense Importance
in the future prosecution of trust by the
government. The bill was introduced by Rep
resentative Jenkins, chairman Of the House
Judiciary Committee shortly after the decision
in the Chicago Beef Trust suits. whereby the
packers who furnished evidence to the govern
ment were declared immune from prosecution.
Under the existing law. this being a criminal
prosecution the government has not power of
appeal. The legislation has been urged both by
Attorney General Knox and Attorney General
Moody. but the ruling in the Chicago case gave
such prominence TO the necessity for such a
statute that the Jenkins bill passed without op-
position.
The statute il enacted, will confer the
government the right to have the decisions OF
lower courts on points of law reviewed by the
SupreI.ae Court OF the United States. Such
statute would have enabled the government 70
appeal from Judge Humphreys decision in the
packers case to the Supreme Court by writ
OF error and thus to have obtained a ruling
from the highest court in the land on the point
at issue. The bill provides that 'if on such writ
OF error it shall be found there was error in the
rulings Of the court during the tria' verdict
in favor OF the defendant shall not be set aside
The act is to take effect ana be IN force from
and after it's passage. and applies to all cases
pending. This will affect the whole programme
OF the governments trust prosecutions now
under way Under the proposed legislation it
will be impossible for any court to declare any
statute invalid without having its decision re-
viewed by a higher court. Under the present
procedure decision by the court in one part
of the United States against the validity Of a.
statute is followed in other districts, and has the
effect largely OF a precedent. The proposed bill
is designed to render the decisions more har-
monious, as after a ruling has been obtained
from the Supreme Court that ruling will be bind
ing upon the subordinate courts 1t is main
tanned by the advocates OF the bill that the
rights of the defendants are not in any wise
prejudiced by the proposed statute, as any YER
dict in his favor could not be set aside and the
constitutional provision to defendant being
twice placed in jeopardy would not, IT is de-
clared, be violated
To clear the legislative decks for pending
money bills for the support of the government
the House to-day worked uninterrupJedly from
II 80 TO 5 o'clock In that time eleven general
bills were passed under suspension Of the rules
Among these was the national quarantine BILL
which was opposed by Southern Democrats on
account of the fear that the police powers OF the
states were invaded In addition. the House in
seventy-fve minutes passed 5I2 private pension
bills.

TO RESUME STATEHOOD CONFERENCES.
Chances for Agreement Between Houses Now
Seem Less Favorable

Washington. April T.-Senator Beveridge and
Representative Brick, Of Indiana, have returned
from the Republican convention Of their state. and
arrangements have been made for another con-
ference on the Statehood bill. Both Mr. Bevertdge
and Mr.. Brick were conferrees, and in their alb
sence nothing was done. Senator Newlands. OF
Nevada has been named in place OF Senator Pat
terson who attended the first conferences, that
all couferrees are IN Washington II is ex-
pected that the next meeting viii be Thursday.
There IS less hope OF agreement than
when the bill was first IN conference. At that time
Il was thought that the House conferrees might
agree on a proposition TO submit the jointure prop
ositfon OF New Mexico and Arizona to the people
OF each territory separately. but at the time the
vote was taken on the constitution OF the pro-
rosed new state The Foraker proposition, which
P-as voted into the bill before Arizona and New
Mexico were eliminated, provided that there should
be q separate election for deciding the question
of Joint statehood Inquiry among Senators VINO
ted the Foraker amendment has developed
The fact that they rather tenacious for thu
last amendment and insist a separate vote.
The House conferrees seem more disposed 70 stand
for their original bill THAI before which would

HAPPINESS.

Few individuals are absolutely
happy.
They have burdens that annoy
them, or they haven't enough one
or they seek social position, or some
thing is the matter. The thing is not
to want what it is no use to want.
Every ambitious person must suffer
a certain amount of discomfort. Nc
matter what they achieve, they al
ways desire further achievements.
That's all right, its's the spirit of
progress. But it should not make
one overlook the simpler, sweeter
joys of life. to forget the people who
love you and do for you.
To be admired by the multitude is
no tremendous happiness. But TO be
dearly loved by one Or two real
friends is true and genuine glory.
Our chances for happiness rest entire
ly with ourselves.
There are some women in the
world who are determined never TO
be pleased, not matter what Is done
for their happiness. They accept life
with a challenge, as ii were. and al
ways KEEP it up.
