ALL SHOULD
PULL TOGETHER
Would Secure important Legislation
for Western States.
Several Measures Pending In Senate
and House or Their Committees
Include Dry Farm Homestead
Bill and Municipal improvements
on Irrigation Projects.

Washington, April 4.-There are sev
eral important bills pending before
senate and house, or in their commit
tees, of great interest to the West, any
one Of which can probably be passed Il
Western senators and congressman wi
get together and make united effort.
Most conspicuous among them at the
Of esent time is the 320-acre dry farm
homestead bill, measure that means
a great deal to the states west OF the
Missouri river, in many OF which set
Element ia practically checked because
the best lands have passed to private
ownership, and what remains cannot
be successfully entered under the exist
ing homestead law.
Another most meritorious measure
hanging in the balance is the Borah
bill, providing funds for building
schools, installing sewer and water sys
TENS and making other municipal i'm
provements in towns established on
government irrigation projects. This
bill proposes to donate to such towns
all moneys derived from the sale OF
town lots, fund which, in most in
stances, will be ample for the purpose.
Experience has shown that towns on
government projects have been slower
of development than towns on Carey act
projects. The latter have grown rapid
ly. Large schools have been erected !
adequate water and sewer systems have
been installed, streets have been inn
proved, ETC., whereas in towns on gov
eminent projects the citizens have been
obliged to 60 down into their own peck
BITS to provide and maintain schools and
holders have been compelled
% bear the entire expense of all civic
improvements.
The national drainage bill, which
ontemplates the reclamation of swamp
nd overfowed lands in all parts of the
United States, stands little chance of
assing this session. Though it is a
1easure OF great merit, there does not
eem to be that interest that is essen
al to force through bill of such mag
itude and Importance. It is difficult
explain this lack Of interest, too, for
lere is scarcely state that has not
'me lands that would be benefited by
national drainage law.
There is one bill that congress- will
rtainly not pass this session, yet one
'at should have been enacted long ago !
a Dill repeating the timber and stone |
. and submstituting some more prac.
'aole statute providing for the dispos.
OF government timber. 1t has been
nply demonstrated that the timber q
q stone act is vicious and unjust.

PRAC rICE NEARLY OVER.
Vessels at Magdalens Bay About to
Coal and Clean Ship.

San Diego, CAL, April Wireless
reports received from Magdalena bay
state that the record target practice oil
1908 for the Atlantic fleet is practically
at an end. The Vermont, the last OF
the ''Big Is" to go upon the ranges,
completed the firing of her 12-inch
guns yesterday and today was complet-
ing her record with the rifles in the
secondary battery. Most OF the ships
also have completed their torpedo prac-
tice, SO that little remains to be done
at Magdalena bay but to coal and clean
ship.
1t is said that all of the vessels will
take on sufficient coal to carry them to
San Francisco. In this way the ships
will be open to visitors every day Of
their stay at the various ports on the
coast. During coaling days all ships
Of the navy are barred to visitors and
practically all of the officers have to
remain on board.
The Connecticut, which brought Ad-
mlral Evans to San Diego yesterday af-
ternool, and which cleared again for
Magdalena bay at o'clock in the after
noon, was 24O miles south at noon to.
day and will rejoin the fleet late TO-
morrow afternoon.
The weather at Magdalena bay is re. |
ported as cloudy and threatening.
these conditions having prevailed for
some time. No rain has fallen in the
pay, but few miles inland it is said
here have been heavy showers. White
were expected to be worn, but
olue has been the prescribed color
learly every day.
