FLIED on contracts caused considerable COM
ment on the floor Of the exchange here and

the local market inasmuch as It is claimed
there is a large amount of this kind OF grain
in the northwest this year and the ruling out
Of this variety will cut down materially the
amount Of contract supplies at these two
centers. The decision caused sharp advances
at the two northwestern markets. Other fac
tory that helped to create bullish sentiment
were urgent demand for cash wheat at Min

FRENCH KILLS
OVERFLOW BILL
Washington Water Power Com
pany to Raise Lake Ten Feet

WASHINGTON, Dee. 2l.--con-
gresham French of Idaho killed ais
own bill, offered last session, which
was favorably reported 70 the house
and Endorsed by the interior depart
ment, granting the right to overflow
certain lands on the Occur d'Alene
reservation. He moved an indefinite
postmonement. making It no secret
that his reason was thar the Washing
ton Water Power company's claim
that only about 5000 acres OF land
would be affected he had found to be
inaccurate. and thar approximately
10, 900 would be affected
MY professed object, Mr., French
said, was to procure the privilege
to overflow not more than 5000 acres
along the st. Joe river and Occur
d'Alene lake on the reservation. Dur
ing the last summer, after returning
to Idaho, | learned that instead OF
5000 acres 10000 acres would be
overlooked. hence l determined to de-
feat my own BILL The bill technic-
ally sets forth Its object as granting
easements on certain lands in the
Occur dd'Alene reservation, In Ida
no., and Is designed to grant the
Washington Water Power company
authority to dam the river, tn rails

of the company that they would raise

but II seems other statements OF the
company disagreed herewith. At
any rate. according 10 Congressman
Freneh's investigation, It was dis
closed that the dam planned would
raise the level much higher than lndi-
Gated. resulting in overlooking nearly
three times as much land as was rep
resented to French when he intro
dueed the bill.

the game. Mis- Fay Thomas did the
star playing for the local team, and
did some very brilliant work. The
local team, though 1t went down in
