FROM COAST BLOCKED
/. THE Bill FOR SAILORS.

i WASHINGTON, D.. c.. June Ia
The latest desperate and probably
successful move to kill the seamen's
bill comes through an order secretly
given to the secretary Of the house
committee on merchant marine and
fisheries to call off all further COM
mittee meetings xor, consid erations
of this measure for protection Of the
sailors. yz* ., 81.
Il So untiring and persistent had been
the work of the delegates from the,
International Seamen's union and the
Marine Firemens union, in furnishing
evidence to congressman as to the
conditions. of actual slavery now. ex-
listing on the. high seas, that ma
jority Of the congressional committee
had been: won over to the sailors
point Of view.s@r 49,.
Fearing, therefore, that a meeting
Of the committee would mean the,
favorable reporting of Representative
Spight's bill the agents of the ship
owners pulled the string which stop
ped all further committee meetings.
Two congressman from the Pacific
coast are credited with being the
| main blocks in the way of this just
legislation. They are Duncan A: Nc
kinlay, from california, and William
| E. Humphrey of Washington.
1t was McKinlay who in the course
Of an uneasy view blurted out the
statement that he would do nothing
to antagonize the interests of the Pa
cific Mail.
| 1t was Humphrey who finally, told
Andrew ~Furuseth, president of the
Seamen's union that he would never
allow the bill to come out of the COM
mittee. ~, -.
In an open letter to the Represent
alive Humphrey, of Washington, Flu
ruseth has this to say:
You have lived for years on Puget
Sound and know of the shanghaiing
perpetrated by the crimping element
of Tacoma, Seattle and Port Town
send. You know that things are not
done except for money or some equiv
alent. You know that the average
time of men following the sea is less
than three years. Yet in spite of all
this you are vindictive in your OPP
| position. :.

of the United States in the case of

trance <of San Francisco harbor, de-
cided that the vessel was under

ployed being Chinese and not under
standing the language used by the
Officers .ov H =: e..

him in the face; Humphrey goes back
to the Pacific coast to ask for work

gress. <,

LITTLE LOST RIVER PROJECT
MATERIALLY ENLARGED
10000 a res viii be Reclaimed In
steGC t., : 1ICOO, Apply For Carey
Act Sales

Mackay Miner
The Blaine County Irrigation COM
pany which put in $4,000 acre pro-
ject on Lower Little Lost river two
years ago this spring, under the man
agement of Mr.. Wickham, is now in
the hands of Messrs. j. S. Sparks and
M. H. Woods of Kansas City, who are
remOdeling the reservoir and enlarg-
ing the project to a 10000 acre pro-
ject. An application has been made
to the State Land Board to dispose of
the water rights and land embraced
in addition to the project under the
Carey Act, with permission to sell the
land and water right at $4,000 per
acre.
The first project embraced about
rs miles of canal and a reservoir suf-
ficient in size to irrigate between
twelve and fifteen thousand acres of
land in addition. Messrs. Parks and
Woods will increase the canal mile
age to forty miles and the forty thou
sand acre tract will be watered by
about one half of the normal flow of
the river and the balance by the stor-
age reservoir system. The land lays
at the lower end of Little Lost river
and adjoining the Big Lost river pro-
ject on the Northwest. About fifty
families arrived last fall and settled
on the land and some crops were rails
ed. Mr.. Woods informs us that there
will be about five thousand acres in
cultivation this year with water for
the same. Swensen Pierce, of Boise,
has been engaged as engineer in the
work of remodeling the plans of this
project. When completed and water
delivered to the forty thousand acres
this will be one of the prettiest irri-
gated tracts in the State of Idaho, it
being similar in soil and formation
and levelness to the Big Lost River
tract. Mr.. Woods informs us that
they expect to have the enlarged pro-
ject completed this summer.

DAIRY NOTES.

Cowpeas come next to alfalfa as a
dairy ration.
It's always better to have the sepa
rator too big for the job.
The p'lre food law only allows lf
ger cent. moisture in butter
You are losing money if the milk
sours before all the cream rises.
The man who can keep his cows up
to the mark is born dairyman.
Dairy cows sell for more than corn
fed steers and cost much less to raise
1t used to be said the miller had the
best hogs. Nowadays it's the dairy,
man.
Five per cent. salt is enough for but
ter. Most markets are better satisfied
with less.
Western dairymen are about agreed
that the fresh fall COW is the most
profitable
The COW that fails in her milk this
month will not gain 1t until she is
fresh again.
Put up 20 per cent. more feed this
fall than you think you can use-then
you'll have enough
Never feed young calf cold milk.
The milk must be sweet and warm as
the mothers milk. Don't feed too
much at one time.
The price received for butter Is not
obtained entirely by its flavor, but by
the skill of the maker in churning, salt
ing, working and packing for market.
In purchasing a dairy COW three
things should be borne In mind, viz:
Capacity, constitution and milk strains.
such as good udder, milk veins, etc.

BIG DAM DIVERTS LOST RIVER
THROUGH TUNNEL
Reservoir Now Being Filled With
Water-Backed Nearly Mile
In u Week

Mackay Miner
Last Friday the work of closing the
river channel at the Narrows, where
the Big Lost River Irrigation Co., is
constructing the big dam and reser-
voir was started. The bed of the
river had been narrowed to about
twenty feet by dumping gravel in on
either side of the stream, with dump
cars filled by the steam shovels.
Willows and trees were then thrown
into the channel and trainload after
trainload of gravel was dumped in,
and after hard fight the flow of the
stream was checked, but considerable
water continued to perculate through
the big pile of gravel.
The back water rose steadily and at
6 o'clock, on Friday, the 22nd day
Of April, the water started through
the concerted tunnel through the
mountain. At 900 O'Clock that even
ing it had risen to heighth neces-
sary to force it through the lower end
of the outlet works, and since that
time the water has been steadily ris-
ing and is now backed up a distance
of nearly mile, with perhaps IS feet
of water against the face of the dam,
and large stream roaring through
the outlet works.
With the water diverted the work
of building the concrete core in the
river bottom is being diligently fol-
lowed, and both steam shovels keep
steady stream Of dirt going into
the channel. 1t is the intention to
keep the dam construction ahead Of
the water; as it raises the dam is be-
ing raised also. There is an immense
amount of earth at the concrete yet
to be handled on this job.
May LIST, is the contract date for
delivering the water to the land filers,
but the canal headgates have not yet
been raised, and it is evident that
this date will pass before the water is
carried to the land, yet it is a GER
tainty, that the company will have
water on the Era and Arco tracts in
ample time for this irrigation season.
