A Washington dispatch says western
members of the house are preparing
to make a vigorous stand upon the pro
posed legislating out of office by the
house appropriations committees of re-
ceivers of land offices through failing to
make appropriations for their salaries.
They are counting upon the support
of many members who. while willing to
see the Office of land office receiver
abolished, do o believe in establish
ing a precedent which would put power
in the hands of the house a%ppropria
lions committee to abolish government
positions created by law by simply fail
ing to provide funds for payment of
their salaries. Western members are
also counting upon the support of dem
ocrats to defeat. the committee action,
as about %one-fourth of the receiv-
ers to be legislated out of office are To-
Gated in the south. This is entirely
proper. If the house cannot repeal the
present law and put a new n in its
place. it certainly should not permit
its committee on appropriations to &C
complish indirectly what it cannot dc
directly.

MIGHTY GOOD PROSPECT.

From State Engineer Clarence T
Johnston, who has just returned from
a somewhat critical examination of the
lands and the surveys upon the Sho
shOne Indian reservation, which will
be thrown open to settlement August
15, The Republican learns much of in
terest and much that will be of value
to those who intend registering for that
important event. Prof. Johnston can
be relied upon to give correct informa'
ton, and when he says that section
will give support to n large population,
it car be taken as true. His informa-
ton is at variance with much that has
been quietly talked by some who have
explored that region, but this fact may
be accounted for by the fact that the
others were not over that portion OF
the reservation that is to be opened,
at least that portion which is stated
to contain the best land. Their opera

whose channels ave naturally ~
rough gullies and canon through the

ever, upon the benchlands, there are
level stretches that will afford fertile
farms to many families. These lands
will Of course have to be irrigated, and
that is the reason why the state en-
gineer now has three parties running
lines. Those parties have gone into
the reservation in advance of settlers
for the sole purpose of locating the
very best reservoir sites and canals for
irrigation works. This work is being
done with the entire consent and ad,
vice of the Washington administration
n also with the advice and consent
of Governor Brooks. There was 40 ap-
preparation for the purpose, but Prof
Johnston realized the great emergency
that existed and personally loaned his
credit to the state in order that the
rights might be secured at the earliest
possible date. before they were men
aced by appropriations made further
down the stream, and in Montana for
the benefit of the Crow lands that will
soon be thrown open. If the lands on
the Shoshone reservation were to be OF
value it was of course necessary to Sc
cure water for them, for little can be
done there without water.
1t is gratifying to learn that the sur
veying parties are making rapid pro
gress n that the entire plan is work
ing out to even better advantage than
had been expected by the state en-
gineer.
Elsewhere The Republican presents
an interesting interview with Prof,
Johnston, which is commended to its
readers.
