GET TWENTY MILLION.
House Passes Bill of Tremendous
Importance to the West.

| Washington, June 21-By a vote
Of 225 to 20 the house tonight passed
bill providing for the issue of certifi-
Gates OF indebtedness to the amount
of S2O,OOO,OOO to provide a fund for
the completion Of the reclamation
projects already begun. The measure
will now go to the senate, where its
passage is assured.
Originally, the senate passed such
bill, although it carried provisions
for an issue aggregating $3OO0O,OOO.
1t was recognized that even this
amount was too small to complete
works approved. and it was expected
that ultimately fund aggregating
S5O,0OO,O0O would have to be supplied.
Under the terms OF the bill, the GER
tificates are to be taken up from pay
ments made by settlers for water to
be supplied by the government.
There will be drain, it is said, upon
the federal finances. Late today the
house adopted a rule placing the
measure before it.
Mr.. Payne Of New York, Mr.. Tay-
lor and Mr.. Martin Of Colorado, and
Mr.. Pray OF Montana, supported the
fromthvm av bav av ava vb avbbgb
bill. Mr.. Taylor read telegram from
Governor Shafroth Of Colorado, stat
ing that conservation and irrigation
projects were at a standstill and
provided by the proposed issue was
available.
The number Of members on the
floor having dwindled to no more
than a score, Mr. Carlin of Virginia
made the point Of mo quorum and
nearly an hour was spent in calling
the roll before the necessary quorum
could be assembled.
Mr.. Underwood of Alaska then
spoke at length in opposition to the
subject
Three ffths OF this land you pro-
pose to irrigate is now in the hands
Of private owners" he said, "and
only two-fifths is owned by the gov
ernment which provides the means
for its reclamation"
''In all cases in which the land is
privately owned the government
charges for the use Of the water 50
that the money is returned" suggest
ed Champ Clark.
Continuing his remarks, Mr.. I'm
derwood said there was no more au-
thority in the constitution to devote
public money to irrigation projects
than there was to build public hos
pitals and to make public parks
Mr.. Mondell. chairman of the COM
mittee on public lands, defended the
bill as reported by his committee. as
we'll as the general principle of irri-
CATION.
Amendments placing restrictions
upon reclamation work were offered
and voted down by viva voce vote.

cred from many different sources It
is deemed almost certain that by fall
| wool will be as high as last year, if
not higher. Many of the representa-
tives OF eastern wool houses are
urging the advsability OF consigning
to their respective houses. Advances
OF from ID cents to II cents per
pound are being offered by these
buyers, but it does not seem advis-
able at this time to place our Mon
tana wool in the hands of the houses,
who, if there is combine in exist
ence, are parties to the same 1t is
certain that there will be marked
change in the market very soon
after the first of July, as at that time
the lightweight market opens in the
east and it is thought that the mills
will begin to buy actively after that
date. Rumors Of a few sales as low
as l6 cents are reported in Montana,
but fortunately, said sales are verv
few and are made under sealed bids.
Unless these clips were exceedingly
a price seems ridiculous. Woodrow
universally in good financial condition
this year and with the advances Of
fered on consignments it seems ut
terly inexcusable for a grower to
take such prices as these.
"The association is glad at all times
to furnish informtion to its members
and you are urged to write for any
such information desired. At this
time we can only advise a DELAY in
selling at the present prices offered
and consignment, if this course is
determined upon, to an independent
broker rather than to wool dealer
If consignment is made at all it
should be made subject to a certain
fixed time Of sale, probably on or
before January | next, and the own
ers to reserve the rights at all times
to fix the price. Consignment may
be made by owners in their own name
to the National Dock and Storage
company at Boston Or any of the
number of warehouses in Boston or
Philadelphia. Those Of Our members
who have stock in the Chicago Wool
Warehouse and Storage company can
send their wool there up to the
amount covered by their stock, at the
cost Of ! cent per pound and can
thereon receive an advance Of 10 cents
a pound. Such members may also
send additional wool upon a charge
OF lN cents per pound, but on such
additional wool no advance will be
made.
During the last few days the con-
ditons look much better than at anv
time prior. A sale of even small
clip at low rate is unfortunate at
this time and grower accepting
such prices as are now offered IS
showing exceedingly poor judgment
Inc buyers are now coming into the
state in greater numbers and this IS
practically as early as they generally
arrive, last year being a marked ex-
ception to this rule There is alb
solutely no need for any woolgrower
to become panicky or to attempt to
unduly hasten the sale of his clip
As far as our observations extended
there has been no disposition on the
part Of any Of the banking institu
tlons OF the state to hurry any grow
er into a sale and the only reasonable
and business-like procedure at this
time is to reject any and all offers at
present prices, and if consignment is
thought necessary to be governed
somewhat by the above suggestion.
Respectfully.

SPAIN AND THE VATICAN,

1t is probable that many of our
readers are puzzled, as we have been,
to know just what is the trouble be-
tween Spain and the Vatican, and
they will be glad to read the follow
ing extract from the Post, which
seems to explain the matter briefly
and clearly. The Post says: MANY
of the Catholics believe that the gov
eminent is right in insisting on the
withdrawal of many of the religious
orders, the members of which are en-
gagged in commercial pursuits, and,
being exempt from taxation, have an
advantage over their laymen COM
petitors.'
Everybody knows of the intimate
connection of church and state which
has existed in Spain from the earliest
times, but the main point to be seen
is just how that union effects the
pockets of the common people. This,
the extract explains, and that very
clearly. The people are simply de-
manding equality before the law.
