news of his good fortune through
In Times reporter as he was re-
turning to his work in the car
penter shop of the T. r. g. p.
company. shortly before 1 o'clock
this afternoon.
For moment he stood stock
still, while his eyes eagerly
searched the face of the reporter.
Then he spoke:
Fourth choice, you say? That
must be pretty good"
The reporter informed him that
his chance was worth about $685.

Then Neubauer told of his fam
lily and his home in South Tacoma

the whistle blew he hastened to
his bench. But he would far rath-

Lived Here Nine Years.
Herman Neubauer came to Ta-
come from Hudson, Wis, nine
years ago and for six years he
worked as carpenter N the car
shops at South Tacoma. He saw
an opportunity to better himself
three years ago and changed to

story OF the drawing gathered
laround to congratulate him.
There is. no one would rath-
er see fall into such good luck
than Herman" said one and 9TH
ers echoed the words.
He is of German descent. 40
years old. is the father of three
children, one boy 20, another 9

leNceptionally bright and indus

THE NEW AMENDMENT

The thirteenth amendment
made the slaves free in 1865.
The fourteenth amendment
made them citizens of the
United States in 1868.
The fifteenth amendment

The proposed sixteenth
amendment strikes at the

FAFTs CABINET MEMBER WILL BE CALLED UPON 10 TELL
WHY THREW LAND OPEN FOR WATER POWER TRUST
TO GOBBIE-HOT SESSION RRIGATORS OPENS.

SPOKANE, Aug. 9.-The
Roosevelt policy for the irrigation
and reclamation of arid lands
throughout the country, particu-
larly the west, is expected by the
delegates of the seventeenth Ma
tional Irrigation congress meet
ing here today, to precipitate a
clash between Secretary Balm
ger of the interior and Clifford
Pinchot, chief of the forestry bu-
reau under Roosevelt and Taft.
Pinchot Position Clear.
Pinchot stands today the fore
most champion of the Roosevelt
ian policies for the protection of
forests and the preservation of
waterpower lands from the en-
croachments of monopolies.
Ballinger, while not opposing
the ideas of Roosevelt in general,
has changed many of the former
presidents plans in detail. In this
he has met the opposition of Pin
chot. Both men will face the
congress on the rostrum, and ad-
herents of both will fight out the
problem on the floor of the con-
gress.
Whichever side wins, the other
side will know there has been a
fight. Both sides, however, are
determined to place the congress
squarely on record in the mat
ter.
Ballinger and the Trust.
Pinchot's attitude is
known; that of Ballinger is
matter of conjecture. In
terest centers in the attitude
of Secretary Ballinger toward
the reclamation service and
toward the sO-called water
power trust, which is said to
have obtained valuable lands
in ~the west during the last
few months.
Are Not Friendly.
Ballinger and Pinchot are not
friendly. Since Ballinger took
charge of the department of the
interior, the forest service, which
is under the department of agri-
culture, and the interior depart
ment have not worked in har-
mony.
A few weeks ago Ballinger
openly threw down the gauntlet to
Pinchot in an interview charging
that the chief forester was try
ing to run the interior depart
ment,"
Extraordinary Spectacle.
Present indications are that the
unusual spectacle of a cabinet
member defending his policies be-
fore a gathering in his own state
will be witnessed before the con-
gress adjourns.
The annual sessions of the Ma
tional Irrigation congress have re-
peatedly been marked by an at
tack on the secretary of the in
terror. Heretofore the attack has
always been made by the mono
polistic interests. They hated
Secretary Garfield and claimed
that his policies prevented devel-
opment in the west. On the side
of the secretary of the interior had
always been ranged the small
ranchers, the water-users and
the men who colonized the vari-
Gus government irrigation prof.
ects. Garfield won out repeat
edly.
Interests" Behind Secretary
This year the situation is
reversed. The secretary of.
the interior is on the defens-
i've, as usual; but this time
1t is the water users and the
homeseekers who are the ag-
gressors, and the Interests
are behind Ballinger.
The charge against Secretary
.Ballinger is in substance, that he
has overturned the spirit of, and
is attempting to block the Roose-

WASHINGTON. u. G.. March =. -
During the reading Of tn" conference
rtp-rt on he penal code hill by the
Senate today Senator Teller took the
floor and spike on the Panama canal.
He contendcd that the sentiment in
Congress had been for sea level
waterway at Panama until tn"
Spooner act o: 1902. was adopted by
a small majority.
Since then every six months the
plans for tine canal have Grel
changed and each time the new clan
was heralded as the very best one
that could be adopted.
They had moved che cation Cf
the dam from 3ohilo to Gatun be
cause they found that the rock the:
had depended upon was mere honl-
der. which. together with the drift
wood, had been washed there at some
early pcrrsd.

ture of the series OF Lexis snch as
proposed at Panama was subject to
dangers under any condition.
