.BORAH TAKES UP LOAN
MATTER WITH THE
SENATE CHAIRMAN

Senator Borah writes Marcus A.
Smith, before whose committee the
bill providing for an additional loan
to the Reclamation Fund is pending.
urging report upon the bill as fol
lows:
December II, 1914.
My Dear Senator Smith:
| have pending before your Com
mittee bill providing for an addi-
tlonal loan to the reclamation fund
upon the same basis or principle as
the bill which we formerly passed
am exceedingly anxious to get d re-
port upon this measure and | would
DC glad II your committee could be
called together to consider it at an
early date as you can conveniently
call it, We have a situation in my
state which requires prompt and most
urgent action in regard to this matter
\ number OF years ago a portion of
the land was segregated for the pur-
pose OF reclamation project Set
tiers went upon the land and the land
is practically occupied and has been
for several years. Thereafter this por-
ton of the land was segregated and
taken from under the project but it
mas now become apparent that the
government should take hold of the
matter again and it cannot do so, as
understand, without additional funds.
| am only speaking for my own state
and for this particular instance but
there are many Others which are
worthy of consideration. These set
tiers upon this particular project have
been there now for several years I'M
der the most adverse circumstances
paying the price many times over for
this land in their sufferings and hard
ships and know your opinion OF
these matters well enough to know
that you are thoroughly in sympathy
with the man who is trying to make
home on the western land | sin
ccrely hope we may have meeting
of the committee and a favorable re-
port of the bill | do not take any
pride in the question of authorship.
! am perfectly willing to support any
bill by the department or anyone else
which meets the situation.
Very respectfully,
w. +. BORAH.

Total Acreage reclaimed 2,:9S5, 9Oo
The census reports of 1919 give me
number of miles of main canal IN Ida;
no as 1852 miles and the number OF
miles of laterals as 5,O97, or total OF
1880. Since the census, report was
taken there has been much activity IN
irrigation in Idaho and it is safe 10
say that the total mileage OF lTriga-
ton canals in Idaho would reach the
enormous figure of $4,000 miles.
The area of land yet to be irrisa'ea
in Idaho and for which there is
water supply is equivalent to the area
already reclaimed. The swampy or
overflow land in Idaho is not very eT-
tensiye. but we have very terule val
ieys quite extensive in area inat neeh
reclamation by drainage. These val va
ieys are the Kootenai, Pend dOrelllei
ST, Maries, St. Joe, Bear RIVER, ana
Portneuff. and while have no status
tics at hand in reference to the area
| should Judge it was in the nei8hpor-
hood of 1000 acres.

to Join him in assuming the risk, that
is, each of the five agreed to make
good one fifth of the deficiency
should there be any, and contracts
were signed.
Now its up to the people of Guth-

ager Fritts have pledged themselves
in order to secure for this city the

NEUTRALITY
OUR CONCERN
FORMER Secretary OF
STATE DENOUNCES GOV.
ERNMENT'S SILENCE

New York, Nov. 7.-Robert Bacon
former secretary of state, issued a
statement today before sailing for
England in which he said that in Vio-
lating the neutrality of Belgium,
Germany broke a treaty which she
had made with the United States
when she signed Articles 1 and OF
the second Hague conference, which
stipulate that the territory of neutral
powers shall be inyiolate.
Are we to suffer a nation to break
a treaty with us on whatever preteXt
without entering. at least, a formal
prOtest?" reads the statement "Will
anyone contend that our neutrality
imposes silence upon US under such
conditions? Are The Hague conven-
tions to become scraps of paper
without a single word of protest
from this government: If the treaties
which we made at The Hague are 10
be so lightly regarded then why not
all our other treaties? AS a matter
of fact, it is our solemn duty to pro-
test against a violation of pledges
formally entered into between this
government and any other govern
ment, and we assume a heavy moral
responsibility when we remain silent.
ITO Justify a policy of silence by
the assertion that we are fortunate
in being safely removed from this
danger that threatens European pow
ers and to urge that as reason for
us to sit still with hands folded is as
weak as it is unWise."

When "The Bridge of the Gods is
produced at the Opera House tonight
in a big five reel motion picture the
production will be more wonderful
than 1t is possible to give on any
stage, even though the stage be out
of doors. AS seen at Oklahoma City
the pageant-drama was in seven
thrilling scenes. All these scenes
have been retained but in addition
there are scores of new settings.
What is told in the drama is pictur-
ed on the screen. Wallulah's mother
washed ashore, the only survivor OF
a ship wreck, her marriage with
Multnomah, her sad life among the
Indians, her PASSIONATE love for her
baby Walluulah her death and burial
at sea is a gripping story in itself.
