President Wilson Signs the Reclamation Exten ion Measure, Converting It into Law, Giving Farmers Ten Years of Grace
CONFEREES KEEP
 TN PORK BARREL
But Hayden Argues So Much Good in Measure It Was Passed-New Law Will Graduate Payments for All Projects
Special to The Republican,


 WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 13- President Wilson today signed the reclamation extension bill, which was passed by the senate with house amendments, following a conference of senate and house committees yes terday.
 By signing the Smith bill, Presi- dent Wilson has made a law of that measure which was drafted by the water users association of the Salt liver valley. and presented in the senate by Mark Smith of Arizona on February 26, 1914. Since it's launch ing, the bill, giving to the irrigators on government projects an additional ten years in which to repay the re- clamation fund for construction of dams and canals. has gone through many devious ways to the statute books. It was reported with amend ments first on March 1.
 The senate finally passed the bill. and it went to the house.. where op- position was awaiting it. In spite of the opposition, however, and with Hon. Carl Hayden in charge, the bill went on the calendar for Wednes- days, and was at last sent through with an amendment taking the bud get power out of the hands of the secretary of the interior and vesting it in the house finance committee. There was a tremendous outcry against this amendment as a. pork barrcr' measure, and the senate was said to be laying for the bill when it returned.
 But conferences in which the house and senate reclamation committees got together resulted in an agree ment to the bill as it had come from the house. Mir. Hayden said that tacking on the pork barrel clause could scarcely be called a wise pro- vision, but the bill contained so much that was good and necessary, that he favored it's passage as soon as possible. So it was reported and passed Wednesday without comment.

SENATOR cUNNfFF MAY
AND MAY NOT RUN
prom Sundays Daily

When questioned here yesterday
by a Journal-Miner reporter reia-
tive to his having become a can
didate for the presidency OF the
University of Arizona, state SEN
ator Michael G. Cunniff of Crown
King entered a firm denial. How
ever. he admitted that he might be-
come a candidate sometime in the
future.
"No, l have not submitted an ap-
plication for the position nor have
l at any time announced myself as
a candidate. Many friends have,
however, sought to induce me to
make application for the position.
I will decide definitely at a later
date" he declared.
Neither am a candidate for
the Corporation Commission. The
truth of the matter is that l have
not determined whether or not ]
will seek any Office at all next fall
However, that has nothing to dc
with the University talk for that

On Wednesday when he appeared
at Tucson and saw several mem
bers of the board of regents, it was
taken for granted that he was out
after the job. basing his qualifica-
tons for the position upon the
fact that he was Harvard gradr-
ate. The senator in his interview
with the Journal Miner man yes
terday, however. declared that there
was positively. no basis for these
assertions. The story coming from
Tucson is as follows:
Mike Cunniff. president of the
first State Senate. wants to be
president of the University of Ari-
IONA. Mr.. Cunniff came to Tucson
yesterday from his home in Crown
King, and saw each member of the
board of regents personally. and told
them that he would like to have
the place. Mr. Cunniff seemed &c
be quite confident that mere re
quest from him would be, sufficient
He was told to file his application

GROVE FIRST
HORSE ENTERED

PHOENIX. June l3.-The first

race record 2:OoH in the 2:10 and
2:O7 PAGES.
Walnut Grove got his record Of
2:05H in the 2:0S pace at Licking
ton on October 9,l913. 1t was a
great race of nine starters in which
Michigan Queen and Walnut Grove
were the real contenders.
Michigan Queen had to go to a
record of 2:034 in the fourth heat
in order to take that heat away
from Walnut Grove.
1t is not known as yet, OF course
what horses Walnut Grove will have
TO contend with in the 2:i0 pace
but it is known that in the 2:O7
pace he will have to so up against
Zulu Bell 2O5H.
Zulu Bell was one OF the sensa-
tional mares OF last season and
made her record of 2:06H on the
Phoenix track in winning the 2:07
pace.

pie call him in familiar way to
distinguish him from his son Will

the neighborhood OF 200 fiat this
year. and hopes to make that re-
cord at Phoenix, too. If TO other
horses were to enter in the 2:07
pace. other than Walnut Grove and
Zulu Bell, horse lovers could ex-
pect a magnificent race, but under
the new rules and the present con
ditions, it is expected that some
dozen or more Of others equally
as good will start and perhaps bring
grief to both of them.
