The heavy movement OF agricultural
products to market contributes liberal

Domestic monetary considerations
have become a matter Of less concern
and political developments In Europe

These estimates are furnished by
Arthur p. Davis, chief engineer of the
United States reclamation service,
who, in company with Secretary of the
Interior Lane, has just completed an
inspection of several of the Montana
and Washington projects. and will,
within the next few days, inspect Ore
gOn and Idaho projects.
The amounts given are the actual
money available under the present ap-
portionment They are not the total
amount the government will spend on
the projects now under construction,
as in several instances the present ap-
portionment falls far short of enough
to complete the project, though In all
cases furnishing enough funds for con-
tinuous operations until January, 1916,
when the new apportionment will b.
made
Under the existing apportionment
the Washington allowance is divided
into five enterprises, Idaho into four,
Oregon three and Montana three.
While President Wilson can change
the existing appointments, which
were made by President Taft. and will.
according to Secretary Lane, probably
make some changes, 1t is not expected
they will be be radical or make much
alteration in the present plans.

CLAIM THE FLIGHT
WAS LEGAL ONE
THE THIRD WEEK OF THE TRIAL
OF DIGGS is NOW ON
IN CALIFORNIA.

San Francisco, Aug 18.-The third
week of the trial of Maury |. Giggs,
charged with white slavery under the
Mann law, began tiday. Diggs took
the stand in support of the conten-
tion of the lefense that the purpose
which impelled Diggs and Drew Cam
inett to run away with Martha War
raington and Lola Norris from Sac.
ramento to Reno, was solely to es,
cape the troubles threatening them.
The defense will also seek to SHOW
that the girls were not transported
within the meaning of the act.
/. F. Diggs, father of the defend
ant, already has testified that he had
threatened the four with arrest in
the hope of severing his sons rela-
tion with the Warrington girl. and
the owner of the building in which
Diggs had an office, related that he
had warned Diggs that juvenile Off
GERS would be after him for taking
young girls to his office.
BY showir<. that troubles were ac-
cumulating about the young arch-
tect, the defense will try to convince
the jury that he was afraid to remain
in Sacramento, and that If he had not
gone to Reno he would have fed to
some point in California, where he
would not have been under the juris-
diction of the Mann act.
