amount of $2O,0OO,0O0 to provide a

The measure will go to the senate,
where its passage is assured. Orig
lnally the senate passed such a bill,
although it carried provision for an
issue aggregating $3O,OOO,O00. 1t was

600 would have to be supplied.
Under the terms of the bill, the
certificates are to be taken up from
payments made by settlers for water
to be supplied by the government.

upon the federal finances. Late
Tuesday the house adopted a rule
placing the measure before it. Mr..
Payne of New York. Messrs. Taylor
and Martin of Colorado and Mr.. Pray
of Montana supported the bill. Mr.
Taylor read a telegram from Gov
ernor Shafroth of Colorado stating
that conservation and irrigation pro
jeCts were at standstill and would
remain so until the fund to be provid-
ed by proposed issue was available.

unthought of contingency should
arise.
Strong Man.
No one doubts that Walter Ham
mond would make a good candidate
but it is believed that he would think
twice before he would give up his
business connections here and go to
Crown Point during the term of his
office.
The democrats have hypnotized
themselves into the belief that they
have chance of winning this year
and consequently they are going to put
the very best ticket into the field.
But there is still a great deal OF
strife in the party and 1t is known
that no matter how good a ticket is
put into the field there is a cerain ele.
ment who will oppose 1T so long as
they know that the old ring is in con
| troll.
Because of the harmony in the re
publican ranks, and the resulting
quietude. democrats claim to have dis
covered a lack of interest in the re-
publican party and they point to the
harmonious meeting at Indiana Har-
Dor last Saturday as an argument.
