instances il is expected that the con-

of the congress this morning, when
the delayed report of the committee
rs presented for consideration.
One of the most important of these
related to the disposal of water
rights suitable for power develop
ment, and resolution introduced by
Frank Short, of Fresno, dealing with
the subject, was so amended before
the committee as to defeat a pro-
posal to grant to the originators OF

tionists. Ex-Governor George c.
Pardee, of California, a member of
the national commission on conser-

Short in the hearing. and it was
agreed that the resolution should not
indorse the granting of perpetual
rights, whether located in or out of
forest reserves, and. should not con-
Ter the right of disposal upon the
state IN which they were located.
