The following equally as interest
ing story and one which brings out
many new features and phases of the
row, is from yesterdays Denver
News, being special dispatch to that
paper from Washington, under Mon
days date line:
Washington, April president
iaft TOOK steps today to prevent If
possible the apprehended explosion
IN the reclamation service.
lie gave dinner tonight to patch
up the differences, but the prospects
are not whplly flattering. The senate
committee on irrigation is preparing
to land heavily enough on Director
Newell and his service in a certain
report on the program of the recla-
nation projects to cause the presi-
dent to hang out the sign:
"Wanted-A director and a few
engineers"
The senators of the irrigation com.
mittee went all through the West
last summer looking over the recla-
nation works with Director Newell
and Secretary Ballinger. 1t is said
that lot of good features were dis
covered and also a number that were
not quite so favorable to the service.
The committee has been toying with
its report all winter, issuing only the
general recommendation that several
millions in bonds be issued to enable
an earlier completion of several of
the projects than otherwise could be
had.
Director Newell appeared to be
heartily in favor of the issue, on the
ground that 1t was an advancement
OF money that eventually could be re-
turned to the government from the
public land fund. which is yielding in
the neighborhood of $8,OOO.OOO a
year
On the stand in the Ballinger- Pin
chot investigation, 1t is asserted.
Newell Joined Pinchot, Garfield and
others in attempting to hang a few
millstones about the neck of the ad-
ministration. A week later, before
the committee on ways and means of
the house, in hearing on the $780,
100000 bond measure, he Is said to
have damned with faint praise that
project.
AT any rate he did not boost the
measure, which had already passed
the senate, and which many mem bers |
OF congress were fondly hoping to |
get through at this session.
The word was passed TODAY that |
the long-delayed report should be |
Issued forthwith. The report, it is
said, will contain things which are
already generally known In regard
to failures on certain projects and
iealings with settlers and water
right holders which are deemed I'M
Dusinesslike if not unlawful. but that
N the face of their full recounting by
senatorial committee Director New
I'll will find himself In an untenable
position in his office.

Instead of having to cover their
entire entries with water, as provid-
ed in the past. the farmer Will now
have to cover only one-eighth of the
land with water before being able to
make his final proofs and receive a
clear title. This ruling reverses one
on the same case made by w. S. Dem
nett. commissioner OF the general
land office.
In his ruling Secretary Ballinger
gave Instructions that a circular let
ter be issued outlining his ruling.
At the Denver land office II is said
the ruling is one of the greatest in
ducements for settling the desert
lands of the western states that has
been held out for years.
The old rule for desert land entries
was that those taking them up must
have water rights and must cover ev-
cry foot of land with water, to show
that they could do SO, before, making
their final proofs.
Alonzo b. Coll, one of the entry
men, failed to do this, and Commits
sioner bennett refused to allow him
to prove up. He appealed to the sec
rotary of the interior, who issued the
| following decision:
Where the final proof submitted
upon desert-land entry shows that

| rigated at least one-eighth of the

for that matter there seems to be no
shade of blue which is not worn. Navy

Then give each guest card with

the animal he is to draw; the guests
write beside the number the name of

Clothing ceases to be attractive
when it becomes mussed and dusty.
Wells are not wearable after the rent
appears. Gloves should be discarded
when they cannot be cleansed and
neatly mended. Shoes do not have to
come to tatters before being honestly
discharged from duty. AS for hats,
every woman knows that her head
covering makes or mars her good
looks. Every housekeeper knows that
neat home is appealing and an un-
tidy one repelling. We know these
things even when we disregard them

Ideas for Kitchen Shower.

Ask each guest to bring an article
usable in the kitchen. Then the host
ess to make things interesting may
serve salad on tin pie plates, have
bonbons or salted nuts in individual
futed patty pans and pass Saratoga
chips in an enamel kettle with a
skinner to lift the wiggly chips out.
Use jelly tumblers for water or grape
Juice, and the meat course should be
brought in in new roasting pan. The
dessert, preferably some frozen sweet,
may appear in small earthenware
bowls or individual ramekins. Can't
you see just what jolly time this
will be. All extra parcels should be
delivered to the bride elect during the
repast think a party like this should
be at night so as to include the much
neglected bridegroom and his friends.
