that it is hoped to have all the bitches
and reservoirs in the district complet-
ed so that all the moisture from the
recent SHOWS may be conserved in the
reservoirs. The main ditch is COM
pleted east of McGrew reservoir a dis
tance of twenty-one miles and only
gaps in the long line of main ditch
westward need connecting up to COM
plete the chain of 165 miles of bitches,
laterals and sub-laterals. McGrew res
ervoir will hold 100000, 900 cubic feet
of water and there are also Dover res
ervoir, Douglas, Cobb and Mitchell
lakes. The district is now cementing
the big tunnel. Never in recent
years has there been such fall of
snow at the headwaters of the Lara
mie river as this winter. This means
all kinds of water for the tunnel reser-
voir and the Laramie river. Land
holders in the district are optimistic
over the future of their holdings.

Washington. - Senators Warren,
Guggenheim and Chamberlain, who
are members of the subcommittee
which is now considering the army
appropriation bill, are endeavoring to
have dropped from the bill the pro-
vision inserted by the House propos-
ing to prohibit the expenditure at
military posts recommended for aban-
donment of any portion of the funds
appropriated by the bill for the con-
struction, maintenance and repair of
barracks and quarters.
Among the posts affected are Fort
Logan. Colo; d. A. Russell. Macken-
zie and Yellowstone, Wyo.; Douglas,
Utah; Boise Barracks, Ida.; Missoula
and Harrison, Mont.
1t is believed the Senate military af-
fairs committee, upon the recommend
alton Of the subcommittee, will elimi-
nate the provision from the bill, so
that the posts named for abandonment
may be maintained.
The United States Supreme Court
set October 18th next as the date 1or
hearing arguments upon the demur-
rer filed by the state of Colorado to
the bill of complaint of the state of
Wyoming in the suit involving the
right of citizens of Colorado to divert
the waters of the Laramie river from
their natural watershed for use in
Colorado.
Attorney General Preston, who is
ha lot of
Ing, and Clyde Dawson, who is repre-
senting the state of Colorado and the
other defendants in the case, agreed
upon the date set for the argument
and it was set by the court in accord
Rnce with this agreement.
A favorable report has been re-
ceived from the Interior Department
on the bill extending for three years
the time of all desert land entrymen
who through no fault of their own
cannot make final proof at the end Of
the regular period, on account Of the
non-delivery of water.
A similar bill applying only to two
counties in Colorado. was recently
passed by the House.
The House public lands sub-commit-
tee which has been considering the
Borah three-year homestead bill, has
agreed upon the bill, amending it to re-
quire the entrymen to build a habit
able house upon the land and furnish
proof Of continuous residence for.
seven months during each year OF the
three required to complete the entry.
An amendment also is proposed
making the act apply to all existing
homestead entries requiring residence.
The secretary Of the interior has
temporarily withdrawn until March s,
1913, the lands on the Pixies peak wa
tershed applied for by the cities OF
