As soon as her story was fin

Wayman, and the grand jury was

search for police graft. Though
graft isn't new by any means
here, the Investigation of 1t is.

When 1t was intimated to Nc

there, he exclaimed:

charging vice protection and
gambling graft. States Atty.
John e. w. Wayman, head of the

sweeping the city, declares he
never will let up on the vice kings

After a stormy session in the

This big city by the lake has
not been SO shaken for years as

Especial Correspondence to Morning Journal
Spokane, WASH, Aug. 3.-Investi-
cations begun by the senate commit
tee on irrigation at its hearings in
Washington are to be continued
throughout the arid west and public
attention will be drawn even more
prominently than in the past to the
opportunities afforded in these re-
gions."
Frederick II. Newell. director of
the United States reclamation SER
vice. made the foregoing statement
in the course of an interview on his
arrival in Spokane, while on his way
to Portland. He added;
The committee will probably be
sentatives. who will describe from
day to day the country and the sue
cess attained by individuals as well
as by corporations and the govern
ment in the general movement for
utilizing M conserving the re-
sources as yet untouched, Great
good is expected from Il thorough
study thus made.
The opportunities for settlers
which exist in each of the western
states win be far better appreciated
when the facts are brought out, as
they must be in an investigation OF
this kind, and ii is expected that as
a result of the meeting of the Ma
tional Irrigation congress in Spokane
and of the publicity given to reclama-
tinn hN- tl,n Nigit of ti1n sonata rnn1-
there will be a movement of
homeseekers diverting possibly some
of the current which is now setting
in toward Canada"
Regarding the work of the depart
ment, of which he is the head, Mr..
Newell said:
THE season now approaching a
