enthusiasm of the welcoming party at

OPENS THE FIGHT
FOR HETCH-HETCHY
Senator Myers Attacks Opponents
of Scheme to Take Yosemite
Park Water.
IFron, TIE Tribune Bureau

Washington. Dec. THE final fight Of
San Francisco TO obtain from the federal
government the right TO use the Hetch-
Hetchy Valley in Yosemite National Park
as a reservoir TO supply the city with
water was begun in the Senate to-day.
Senator Myers. chairman Of the Com
mittee on Public Lands, which reported
the bill favorably. opened the debate.
with the support Of Senators Thomas and
Walsh. Senators Borah, Smoot Works
and Gronna appeared TO be the leaders
of the opposition
The nature lovers" who have been
most active in opposition. on the ground
that it would destroy the beauty Of the
Hetch-Hetchy Valley. which is set aside
for the use Of the nation as a part Of the
Yosemite Park. were ridicUled lay Senator
Myers.
There are only two serious objections
urged against this bill" the Senator said
zone comes from that class OF nature
lovers who think the earth and every
thing in ii was made for them. in order
that they might satisfy their aesthetic
tastes They would have millions OF peO-
pie go without sufficient water and perish
for the want OF IL, in order that they
might 20 once a year and gaze upon the
Hetch-Hetchy Valley TO satisfy their
aesthetic tastes.
THE objections OF the water users OF
the Modesto irrigation district are not
worth while The report Of the army
engineers shows there will Doe ample
water to irrigate all the lands in the
region.
1T IS unreasonable 10 suppose that the
City of San Francisco would attempt to
carry out the Hetch-Hetchy water project
if it costs $200J0ODO more than other feast
bic projects Twenty million dollars is
too large a sum TO be thrown away. 1t
seems strange. too. that engineers should
come here at the eleventh hour and report
that they have discovered overnight more
feasible sources of supply"
Senator Borah objected that the water
users Of the Modesto district were being
lulled TO sleep by false promises held out
in the bill. and Senator Smoot declared
that the measure tied up more than a
reasonable supply for the city Of San
Francisco. which would result in extended
litigation.

conferences with the Attorney General

rather positive outline Of what the gov

The disposition Of the administration

competing railroads, steamship COM

pressed an earnest willingness 10 bring

Section 10 provides that the act sna"

the hands of the producer or raiser.
This exception is deemed proper for
the simple reason that under an appro-

by the President Congress provided that
no part of fund appropriated and placed
at the disposal Of the Attorney General
should be used in the prosecution OF those
belonging to labor organizations, ere
This shows the national will and intent

son is that these organizations are with
out capital stock and are not organized

vision Is contained in the Texas law, and
the act has been sustained by the Su~

principally to routine business. The Sen
