WASHINGTON LETTER.
What Idaho's Senator's Are Doing
in Congress.
Washington, D. c., Jan. rs.

Washington, D. c., Jan. Is.
During the past week Sen
ator Borah has had several con-
ferences with Secretary Gar
field and Director Newell Of
the Reclamation Service, in an
effort to secure some measure
of relief for settlers on the
Minidoka tract. Numerous re-
quests have come to the Senator
from representative men on
that tract asking his co-opera-
ton along various lines. The
one matter that seems to de-
mand the greatest attention has
to do with passing of title to
the settler, and while giving no
little time to all phases of the
irrigation question, Senator Bo-
rah has during the week con-
centrated his efforts on a posi-
BILE satisfactory solution of the
title problem. The Department
has determined that settlers on
irrigated tracts can make final
proof at the end of five years
residence, if all water payments
are made. 1t is represented to
Senator Borah by many settlers
that this will not lift all their
burden, and that additional leg
islation is necessary. 1t is
pointed out that many of the
settlers on the north side will
have lived there four years be-
fore having received water, and
it was declared unreasonable to
expect them in one years time
to pay out on their water con-
tract. From the tract comes
requests that a law be enacted
permitting the settler on max
ing proof of five years resi-
dence, that some sort of title
shall pass to him from the Gov
ernment, subject to unpaid
water dues, on which he can Sc
cure a loan.
Fully appreciating the guam
Diary of the settlers and desir-
ing that they be given prompt
and effective relief, Senator Bo-
rah took up with the Secretary
of the Interior and Director
Newell the various questions
presented, emphasizing the ne
cessity of some action as to title
passage, of whice in some form
would enable the settler to bor-
row money to carry on his bust
ness.
The Republican. [volume] (Mountain Home, Idaho) 1903-1909, 1908-01-30

The officials referred to ex-
pressed themselves as being
willing to endorse any plan that
would not jeopardize the Gov
ernment's interests in securing
payment for water rights. They
objected to the plan suggested
from the tract on the ground,
that under it the government
would likely be compelled to re-
sort to the courts to foreclose
liens and to take other steps
that might be detrimental to all
interests. They urged that the
only proper course was to with
hold title until payment had
been made for the water.
Senator Borah is satisfied
some just and equitable solution
can be arrived at, and is giving
the matter much attention and
thought. He feels sure some
plan can be devised that will
protect the settlers and secure
the Government against loss or
entanglements. He is working
the matter out along several
lines and hopes to soon be in
position to present some plan
that will be entirely acceptable
to the Government and wholly
satisfactory to the settlers. He
understands the hardships the
settlers have experienced in
their unselfish and praiseworthy
efforts to build up a great en-
pire within the confines of Ida
no, and he will direct his ener-
gies to the enactment of laws
that will furnish them the
greatest possible measure of
relief and encouragement. In
this work he has the hearty CO.
operation of his colleagues, but
as he lives in the arid section of
the state and is, perhaps, more
in direct touch with irrigation
matters than the Northern
members, he feels it is up to
him to take the lead in con-
nection Herewith and to give
the subject, which is of over
shadowing importance, the ben
eft of the best efforts. Senator
Borah is a member of the Com
mite on Irrigation of the SEN
ate, and as such will have much
to do in directing the course of
legislation referred to that COM
mittee.

GLOBE. June :5.-The const ao- ton of bedrock dam in Pinal creek by the Oi1 Domiuicr Copper Mining & Smeltlng compaly. from m engiu eering point of view. has grown in importance during the past week. but the difficulties are being successfully met. As excayating proceeded con siderable quieksand was encountered and it has been found necessary to timber the trench, driving the lag ging to bedrock. About sixty feet of the excavation has been thus protect ed, the last being square sets, 9xl0 and 10N10-laTge enough to admit the orange peel scoop of the steam show el, which bites a half ton of sand and gravel from the bottom of the creek almost every time it makes a descent. The ground cayed in badly Sunday on the lower side of the excavation and put the railroad trestle out of busi- ness.
 Sixty feet of the dam on the east side of the channel has been complet- ed and another sixty-fooT section

Mining, SInGlterS and StOCR Quotations
IDLE CARS ARE FEWER,
 COAL MINES HELPING
Fl Paso Official Says condi-
 tionS Are improving.

Speaking generally of the whole
 country I should say that there has
 been an improvement in the volume of traffic handled by the railroads dur
 ing the last month. This may be part
 ly attributed to the fact that some of
 the states have begun to move their l early crops, and another source of in- creased business has been resumption of operations by some of the coal
 companies. There are fewer idle cars 1 in the country than a month ago. | Speaking of the Fl Paso and South
 western 1 can only say that business is very. very light, but we are not
 discouraged 10 the point of losing
 hope for the future
 Thus spoke General Manager H. J. Simmons of the Fl Paso and South western railroad, who arrived here i this morning from Fl Paso. Mir. Sim ] mons takes hopeful view of the in dustrial condition of the country and expects to see steady improvement
 during the remainder of the year. He inquired about tn Fourth of July eel ebration here, which had attracted his
 attention because of the problem pre- sented him of supplying transporta- ton for two or three thousand people 1 expected here as visitors on that oc- casion He said Superintendent King has been provided with every available coach to be used on the spe- cial excursion trains provided for bringing the crowds to Douglas on the Fourth of July and hoped that all could be accommodated, but admitted
 that if the crowds demanding trans
 portation reached the maximum es- timate there might be some disap-
 pointed ones left at home.
 Mir. Simmons stated that Fl Paso
 is progressing and while the railroads
 are not working as many men there as formerly, before the business slump hit the country last fall, still the city is working a good many men
 and a great many building mechanics are employed. Speaking of Douglas he said he was glad to see the city holding its own, and the amount of
 building going on here was somewhat
 of surprise to him.

THE OLD DOMINION
 BUILDING A DAM

should be excavated to bedrock and the forms ready to receive the ce- ment by Thursday Half of this sec tion is too narrow inside the timbers for the steam shovel to operate and hand power is employed to finish the excavation. The muck is delivered on to a platform just above the water level and will be raised to the surface by an electric hoist installed yester- day on the east bank of the creek. Two pumps driven by electricity are throwing about 1,900 gallons of va, ter per minute. Water has increased in the trench the past few days and it may become necessary to install another pump.
 No difficult problems are likely to arise, and c. H. Weldeman. the super vising engineer, hopes to have the dam completed before the summer rains begin, or so nearly so that the structure would not be damaged by flood in the creek. Paul Michaelson is personally experimenting the tim bering and working as hard as anyone on the job.

Subsequent to the first meeting. directors took action which gave Mir Greene this privilege. If within 12 months he had not commenced oper- iations, the lease would be nuIlitit
