Spokane, Wash. Sept. 2S.-In a
speech here on the conservation of
the natural resources of the country
President Taft today declared that
he would ask congress to authorize
the issue of 10 million dollars in
bonds to complete those irrigation
projects already begun in the west
and on which work had been stopped
on account of lack of sufficient
funds.
The presidential train arrived here
at 6:25 am.
President Taft was taken in an
automobile to Dayenport's restaurant
for breakfast, The decorations for
the occasion consisted almost entirely
of apples, the product of the inland
empire.
One of the first questions asked bN
the president was: Does Seattle
play against Spokane here today"
The converse ton then turned on this
favorite sport of the president and a
number of anecdotes were related.
After breakfast the party was TAX
en- on a sightseeing automobile ride
about the city.
In his address here the president
said;
My administration is pledged to
follow out the policies of Roosevelt
I in regard to the conservation of the
/ natural resources: and, while that
| pledge does not involve me in any
/ pledge to carry them out unless
have congressional authority to dc
so, 1t does require that ! take every
step to exert every legitimate infiu
ence on congress to enact Legislation
which shall best serve the purpose
Indicated
The president declared that Secre.
tary of the Interior Ballinger was in
accord with him as to the necessity
for promoting conservation.
He also praised Chief Forester Pin
chot for his wonderful work for the
conservation OF the forests
He said that congress must au
| thorize the government to allot watel
power sites to private interests fo
1 dev elopment. The government retain
ing their general control and super
vision.
He declared that he would urg,
congress to authoritatively classif!
the pubic lands as coal, mineral ant
agricultural, to prevent past trouble,
in the future.

HIGH WIND PREVENTS AIR RACE
[Bv Associated Press. ]

New York. Sept. 2S.-The center
of the Hudson-Fulton celebration to-
day was the route of the historical
pageant. The celebration committee
had attempted to illustrate periods of
American history made famous by the
achievements of Hudson and Fulton.
The day opened with a drizzling
rain. but this stopped before o'clock.
1t has been announced that If the
tirships fly today their most spectac-
ular efforts will be reserved until to-
morrow. As high wind still pre-
walls there is still little chance for
the dirigible balloon race to Albany.
There are fifty-four floats in the
procession Nearly twenty thousand
men, women and children, most OF
them in costume, representing every
national and patriotic society in the
city that pose as historic personages
on these floats or marched with
them. The cost, of the spectacle has
been 100000. Seats on stands and
places at windows along the route
command from Sl.00 to $500.
The story unfolded by the floats
dealt with history of New York and
the country Immediately surrounding
in Indian, Dutch. Colonial and mod
ern periods.
The other two events of the da!
are music festival in the Metropolis
tan opera house and literary exercises
in the Brooklyn Academy of Music
Both occur in the evening.

TAFT WILL ASK CONGRESS To APPROVE
BOND ISSUE To COMPLETE PROJECTS

the above Associated Press dispatch.
TO the effect that President Taft in
his eagerly awaited and most import
ant speech on conservation, delivered
today al Spokane. in most emphatic
language declares that he will ask
congress to authorize the issuance Of
10 million dollars in bonds to COM
plete irrigation projects already be-
gun in the west. will be received
with great rejoicing in Grand June
tion.
1t means that President Taft pro-
poses that the Grand Valley High
Line canal and other projects in the
west. on which work has been de-
layed because of lack of funds,
shall be constructed as quickly as
possible. and that funds shall be
available Just as quickly as the gov
ernment can. with authority from
congress, issue bonds.
1t is one of the most vital and inn
portant announcements affecting the
High Line canal that has been made
in many months.
The Sentinel believes. that Presl-
dent Taft's recent visit to Grand
Junction and to western Colorado
largely Influenced him in taking this
position.
This important statement by the
president today shows that he Is in
perfect accord with the recommenda'
tion 10 be made by the senate com
mittee on irrigation. as outlined in
an Interview published exclusively
in this city by The Daily Sentinel
with Senator Warren of this com.
mittee. In an interview on Septem-
ber 10, Senator Warren stated that
the Committee. after visiting many
projects, had decided to. recommend
a bond issue for the purpose OF pro
vidlng funds to complete the projects
under way and approved.
1t might also be said that the plar
first suggested by Secretary Mahon!
of the Grand Junction Chamber o
Commerce, months ago to have con
gress appropriate or authorize a bon,
issue for 20 million dollars for th'
completion of the reclamation prof
,ecrg a'Sr 70 largo extent hrhs an
| doiscment from President Taft.
President Taft's recommendation
will he made in his annual messag
TO congress this fall There is grea
! probability that this recommenda
/ tion will be followed, in which cas-
there will no longer be any doub
of the availability of funds to com
plete the High Line canal.

IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENTS
EARLY INAUGURATION OF CONSTRUCTION
GREATLocAL PROJECT BY THE GOVERNMENT
NO STATEMENT FROM OFFICIALS.

While the local reclamation ol iic-
ials and officials OF the Grand Valley
Water Users association have been
very reticent since the conferences
with Secretary Baliinger there las
been every reason to believe that this
conference was immensely gratifying
and that many of the clouds that have
overshadowed the great project have
been swept away. Unusual activities
in High Line canal official circles
have been noted during the past few
days, an air of confidence and en-
thusiasm. not noticed for months, has
enveloped the local officials just late
ly and now comes the announcement
that yesterday afternoon, quietly and
without any blare of trumpets or
pompous ceremony, the surveyors,
who We're so unceremoniously stop
ped in their work by an order from
Secretary Ballinger several months
ago took mp their instruments, re-
established their camp and resumed
their work.
There is every reason 10 believe
that actual construction work will be
taken up very quickly indeed on the
High Line canal and pushed with all
possible speed.
There is more reason today than
ever before 10 believe that the gov
ernment expects to build the High
Line canal and to build it at once.
These conclusions are not based on
.supposition or guess work but upon
-cold facts, embracing many new facts

edge of The Sentinel but which we

After a cessa ton of nearly five
months work was yesterday afternoon
resumed on the Grand Valley High
Line canal
While Project Engineer Sands and
other Officials refuse TO issue any
statement. except to state that work
was yesterday resumed by the estab-
lishment of surveying camp in the
mouth of the canon above Palisade.
but one conclusion can be drawn from
the renewal of active operations. -
that is that the recent conferences
with President Taft and Secretary
Ballinger is bearing fruit and that the
government will at once resume work
on the High Line canal.
s. o. Harper again has charge of
the party which is composed of six
surveyors, and while the work is to a
great extent taken up where it was
dropped in the spring, the main pur-
pose of the party is to revise certain
portions of the route of the former
survey,
From reliable resources The SEN
tinel is given to understand that bar
ring unforeseen obstacles the work on
the High Line canal Will not again be
retarded.
The work which is cut out for the
surveying party will consume probab-
ly four months time and before that
work is completed other departments
of actual construction will have been
taken up and Uncle sam viii have en-
tered into full swing on the building
of the one project which means so
much to the people of the Grand val
ley.
