SOLVING DRAINAGE PROBLEM.
bitches May Not Be Dug on Mini
doka Project.

The problem OF drainage on the Mini
doka irrigation project in Idaho may be
solved without the necessity OF construct
ing long and expensive drain bitches To
carry the surplus water 20 the main
stream. II is planned to dig deep wells
in different parts of the project and direct
the water into them.
For some time past the engineers of the
service have been experimenting to drain
the small bodies of land which have been
submerged in this project as a result of
irrigation. At one point a lake covering
more than eighty acres had formed. A
well was sunk near the lake to a depth
OF 100 feet. the last thirty feet penetrating
the lava rock which underlies the whole
project. A six-inch casting was put into
the top of the rock and the waters of the
lake were directed into the we'll on an
average of more than million gallons
q day.

Address by Grand Chancellor.
TO STAY IN COMMITTEE.
Resolution for Report on Direct
Election of Senators Tabled.

The Senate decided yesterday after
noon not to arouse the sleeping resolu-
ton in the Senate committee on privi-
leges and elections providing for con-
stitutional amendment to allow the cleo
ton Of senators by direct vote.
For several days Senator Owen had
been trying to get vote on his resolu-
ton directing that the committee report
on the resolution at the opening day of
Congress next winter. He succeeded yes
terday in getting the resolution before
the Senate. but there was no action be-
cause 1t was talked to death. The reso-
luton had been debated for about two
hours when o'clock arrived. Then the
unfinished business was laid before the
Senate. That had the effect of giving a
sleeping potion also to the Owen resolu-
ton demanding & report from the COM
mittee.
Senator Beveridge spoke in favor of the
election of senators by direct vote. and
Senator Hepburn presented arguments
against 1t.

House May Pass Both.

AOuSc 1Ady dSS DULL
If the House acts favora bly-and there
seems every indication that it WILL as
both propositions have strong folowings-
there will be an hours debate allowed on
each rule, followed by three hours dis
cussion and a vote before adjournment
| that day.
Advocates of the Scott bill and the
Weeks measure are jubilant. There will
be no difficulty in passing their measures
through the House. they are confident.
AS concerns the Senate they are not so
sure.
The Scott measure provides that 1T
shall be unlawful for any person TO send
or cause to be sent any message offering
to enter into a contract for the purchase
or sale for future delivery of cotton with
| out intending that such cotton shall be
actually delivered or received"
The transmission of messages of this
description is declared by the bill to be
an interference with interstate and for
eign commerce. Violations are made pun
ishable by fine of from 500 to $1,000.
or Imprisonment of from one month to
six months, or by both fine and imprison-
ment.
BY section three of the measure any
contract for the future delivery of cotton
is required to make an affidavit to the
person transmitting the message that he
owns or controls the cotton in question
rand intends to deliver it, Agents of tele-
graph, telephone and wireless companies
are empowered to administer the neces-
sary oaths.
The making of false statement in an
affidavit is punishable by a fine of from
$500 to 81, 600, or Imprisonment from one
to two years or both fine and imprison-
ment All advertising or other literature
tending to promote the making of future
contracts is declared to be -mailable.
Important Conservation Measure.
The Weeks measure is national in Its
scope While it's proponents have the
southern Appalachian and White noun
tains in mind as the regions most vital
at present in which it's principles direct
~ apply. they may be applied to any sec
ton in which the necessity now exists or
may at any time arise.
Its advocates hold it to be the most
practical and Immediately necessary of
all the conservation measures that have
been proposed. This was the view taken
Of 1t by former President Roosevelt
This conservation bill has been before
Congress for long time Three times it
pa Used the Senate. and in the last Con-
gress passed the House by substantial
ma jOrity.
Seven members of the committee signed

uncOnstitutionality of the measure. hold
ing that the federal government could not
acquire lands in a state, solely for forest
reserves Except for this. these members
say, the committee would have reported
unanimously in favor of the measure.

LIsNER PLEADS FOR SUPPORT

Washingtons business men rallied to
the support of George Washington Uni
versity when the great financial need OF
that institution was explained to them
at meeting of the Chamber OF Com
merce last night.
A. Lisner read letter from the board
Of trustees of the university to the cham
Der. in which an earnest plea was made
for generous contributions, in order that
the university may continue next year
on its present high standard of instruc-
ton.
Mr.. Lisner himself made strong argu-
ment in favor of granting the aid asked.
He was followed by Henry B. F. Mac
farland, who spoke both as member or
the board of trustees of the university
and a member of the Chamber of Com
merce, and by DR.. Richard Harlan. who
has the interests of George Washington
much at heart.

Mr.. Macfarland Joins in Appeal.

Mr.. Macfarland said that already the
trustees had succeeded in obtaining prom
Uses of $4,000, and that what was asked
of the citizens of Washington now was
the difference between that amount and
the $4,000 to $4,000 needed. A similar
letter has been sent to the Board OF
Trade asking for its support in obtaining
funds
Mr. Mcfarland pointed out that the
student body of the university must bring
in the neighborhood of million dollars
each year to the merchants of Washing
ton. and that it's citizens should be will
ing to help contribute to the fund which
is now necessary to the life of the in
stitution.
F. L. Siddons and Percival NJ. Brown
also spoke in favor of raising this money
for George Washington. Mr.. Brown de-
clared that it was matter of more than
dollars and cents to Washington to keer
George Washington University here and
maintain it on high plane.
Mr. Brown said it offered to the stu
dents of the public schools an -oppOrtu-
nifty to obtain a higher education, which
they would not, in many cases, be able
to obtain if they We're forced to go to
other cities, because they had not the
money. He pleaded for the young men
who work in government departments
here. to whom the university opens a
field in which they WIZ be able to obtain
professional training.

The speakers had scarcely finished their
remarks before the subscription list was
started Members of the chamber led
by John Dolph. came forward generously
with pledges of money. Nearly thou
sand dollars was pledged last night.
On motion of Mr. Mcfarland, unani-
mous,y adopted. the chamber authorized
President ". F. GUIDE to appoint COM
mittee to consider the whole of the sub
ject of financially aiding George Wash
ington University and to take charge of
the subscriptions.
The letter from the trustees read by
Mr.. Lisner was frank statement of the
financial condition of the university, ex-
planning that from $4,000 to $4,000 would
be needed if the university is to continue
giving the same kind of instruction the
coming school year as the one just closed.

Mr.. Lisner's Plea.

l.
Mr.. Lisner said, in advocacy of the
movement to raise the funds:
LAS you will see by the report l have
just read, the George Washington Uni
versity is in great need of money. And.
is it any wonder, when students only pay
one-half of what it costs to teach them.
No university in the country can get
along without a deficit. unless there is
large endowment fund to fall back on.
Where is there a city in the mon
more suitable for a university than Wash
ington. the capital of this great nation?
We have a good many government clerks
here WHO. with their college education
themselves, would like to have their chill
dren enjoy the same opportunity.
IF we have such an institution mere,
they can do it. If not, they would have
to send them away to other cities. The
question is. can they do it then as the
expense would be much greater.
And last, but not least. the university
fits every year a number OF young men
and women for the public school service.
What is there more important than to
have efficient teachers in our public
schools? p"
