SPOKANE. Wash. Aug. 10-Putting
squareiy up to Richard A. Ballinger,
secretary Of the interior. the response
bility for the shattering Of the Roosc-
welt politely Of conservation and allow
ing to fall into the hands of the water
power trust millions OF dollars worth
of power site lands. the Spokane Press
to-day carries an article from Helena,
Mont, which has thrown the members
OF the irrigation congress now in ses-
sion here into the greatest excitement.
The article says that there is proof at
hand that one of the first official acts
of President Tafs secretary Of the
interior. Richard Achilles Ballingor,
was to knowingly turn over to the wa
ter power monopoly, millions of dollars
worth OF power sites along Montana
rivers.
Water power will succeed steam,
and white coal as the water power
is called. will run the railroads of tho
future. Not only that the electric
power generated by mountain torrents
will be sent across the plains TO oper-
ate the mills and factories Of many
states OF the nation, and most import
ant Of all, this wonderful new power
will pump endless floods of water upon
millions OF acres OF arid lands, and
so make new homes for millions OF
Americans.
but the water power trust will be n
a position to exact tribute from every
settler, and from his children for
| ever.
