Scope of Power Is Extended by
New Bill Which Is About

Continued from Page IL

tricts in each county, and that it could
not operate to the fullest extent out
side of such districts. Thus, while 1t
could purchase an estate offered to 1t
outside a scheduled district, it could
do so only to move to that land inhab-
itants of scheduled district. 1t could
do nothing to assist occupiers living
near the purchased tract, though they
might be poorer in fact than the mi
grated families. The unit of congestion,
it will be remembered, was the cleo
toral division, and the measure of con-
gestion the average ratable valuation.
The very poor families outside dis
trict which met the test of congestion
were excluded from the benefits OF land
purchase because the high value of the
lands around them kept up the total
valuation. Hence, such families might
see others, no poorer than themselves,
brought from distance and planted
on good lands at their very doors, while
they, residents of the locality, could
not be helped at all.
This defect the new land bill pro-
poses to remedy by making the county.
instead of the electoral division, the
unit. Thus the congested districts board
will have power to operate in any and
all parts of the nine counties in which
there are congested districts. Cork is
an exception, 1t being provided that the
four rural districts of Bantry, Castle
town, Schulz and Skibbereen shall to-
gether be regarded as a congested dis
tricts county.
The advantage of this change will
be enormous 1t will bring within the
complete operation of the board large
areas of grazing land in the various
counties; Will wipe out the artificial
boundaries between congested and tech
nically uncongested areas, and enable
the board to deal with bad conditions
wherever 1t finds them.
And, of course, the grant to the board
of compulsory powers is vital TO a sue
cessful working of the plan. Under
the bill the congested districts board
will have the right to condemn and
purchase any large estate or land
owned, but -untenanted. in any of the
counties named. the price, when yolun-
tary agreement. fails, being fixed by the
land commission, after due inquiry.
Moreover, the board is to be supreme
in its own counties, for the bill pro-
yides that no estate in one of these
counties shall be sold under the land
purchase acts to any person-whether
the tenants or the land commission
itself-without the consent or the
board. The need for this is plain.
Many tenants, in their eagerness to
own land. purchased their holdings di-
rect from the landlords, and paid too
much. Also. they lost the benefit of
the boards expert knowledge in rear
ranging farm boundaries and its i'm
provement works in the way of roads,
fences, drains, etc.
Finally, the bill increases the annual
income of the board from $435,000 to
$3.50, 900, which will mean bigger
projects of improvements. more well
built, comfortable homes, more happi-
ness and prosperity for the people
whom the board has in charge.

TRAFFIC ARRANGEMENT
AIDS STATE SHIPPERS
Spokane and Portland Railroad
to Help North Pacific Line

PORTLAND, Aug. I'll. B. Adams,
general freight agent of the Spokane.
Portland and Seattle railroad, an
nounced today that traffic arrange
ments had been completed between his
road and the North Pacific steamship
company operating the steamers George
w. Elder and Roanoke by which freight
to and from California ports reached
by these craft would be transshipped in
this city to interior Washington points
via Spokane, Portland and Seattle.
He stated that traffic sheets are now in
the hands of the interstate commerce
commission for approval.
Officers of the Cascade, which is one
of the steamers operated by Charles
Mccormick e. Co., say another steamer
is being built by that company to run
between here and San Francisco, the
vessel being especially designed for
passenger service. Although size could
not be learned it is said that she will
be large craft and will cater more to
passenger carrying than to freight.
She is being built at the ship yards Of
the Bendixen company at Eureka.
For return cargo the Cascade will go
to Prescott, st. Helens or some other
river point to finish loading, after TAX
ing 100000 feet of lumber from the
barge Nehalem, which came up yester-
day in tow of the steamer George r.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.-Extensive re-
pairs are contemplated on the cruisers
Chattanooga, Cleveland, Galveston and
Denver of the third squadron of the Pa

The Chattanooga and then the Cal

COLORADO'S GOVERNOR
MAY PRESIDE AT CONGRESS
Shafroth Favored by National
Irrigation Delegates

SPOKANE, Aug. John F. Shaf-
roth, Colorado's democratic governor,
may be the next president of the ma
tional irrigation congress, which as
sembles in Spokane Monday. Signs to-
day indicate that the governor is likely
to have a strong following. Harry ID.
Loveland is also a prominent candidate,
and Senator Francis G. Newlands of
Nevada is being considered with favor
for the Office. The name of James j.
Hill, the builder of the Great Northern,
is mentioned, but it is doubted If he
would desire the honor.
Pueblo Colo, is vigorous aspirant
for the irrigation congress of 1910, but
there are seven others which will con-
test Pueblo's claims. Among the cities
which desire the next congress are
Chicago, st. Louis, San Francisco, Dem
yer; Phoenix, Ariz.; Charleston, S. c.,
and Rochester, N. Y.
Delegates are beginning to arrive for
the congress. The management is
counting on the presence of about 5000
with credentials. The majority of the
meetings will be held in the armory of
the national guard, the entire ground
floor being reserved for the delegates.
