PENDING BILLS WILL AID
DEVELOPMENT OF WEST
Five Measures Embody New Con.
servation Policy, Says Sec
rotary Lane.

When the five bills now pending in Con-
eress for the development Of the west are
enacted into law the west will be en-
abled to develop Its own marvellous re-
sources without asking for help from
the east. according to Secretary Lane Of
the Interior Department, who has been
instrumental In developing the proposed
legislation.
1.-The five bills, which are coming up
In Congress within a few days. said the
Secretary. "embody the new conservation
policy. It is a comprehensive plan for q
rational utilization of our natural re-
sources" Included in this plan are the
water power bill. the bill for the develop
ment of fuel and fertilizer minerals. the
radium bill, and the reclamation extern
sion.
Will Give Impetus to Work.
Three Of the bills. according to the
Secretary, and possibly four, will. il
passed. give q resistless impetus to the
work of converting arid areas into fer
tile fields. The water-power bill, for ex-
ample, provides for lease Of valuable
natural sites to private enterprises for a
term of fifty years. The receipts from
the lease will be turned Immediately into
the work Of reclamation. A refund Of
this investment will be made through the
sale of water rights to settlers in irri-
gated districts. Fifty per cent OF the
money returned in this way will be In
vested permanently in western reciama-
ton work, and 80 per cent will be turned
over to the state that owns the water
power. This income to the state. he de-
clared further. will be one Of the most
effective taxes over levied for the main
tenance Of a state government.

EXPECT TO INTERPRET
NEW EIGHT-HOUR LAW
District Commissioners Probabl,
Will Give Opinion Monday
by Request.

An official Interpretation Of the recently
enacted eight-hour law for women in the
District of Columbia probably will be
handed down by the District Commission
ers Monday Commissioner Siddons today
completed a draft of his personal views
concerning the meaning and requirements
of the law, and it is expected that his col
leagues on the board will adopt it, with
but few, if any, changes, as the boards
official stand in the matter.
REQUEST that the Commissioners in
terpret the law was made recently by
representatives Of the Hotel Mems As
ISOLATION. One Of the mooted points
which the association desires to have
cleared up Is whether or not house
keepers at hotels. whose work requires
them to reside at their places of en-
ployment, may work seven days in the
week provided the total number Of
hours put in does not exceed forty
eight hours a week
There is said to be probability of a legal
test being instituted. Threats OF taking
an appeal to the courts have been made
by dressmakers, who claim the law works
a particular hardship upon them. No
official notice. however, has been served
on the Commissioners that this procedure
is to be resorted to by any of the COM
plainants.

SommerfeId's Arrival
in Capital Arouses
Considerable Interest

Considerable excitement was caused
among those interested in the adjust
ment of Mexican affairs by the arrival
here yesterday Of Felix A. Sommerfeld,
who has been a leader in constitutional
list affairs from the beginning. He was
confidential agent of the late President
Madero until the time Of the latter 8
overthrow and assassination. Sommer-
field only escaped the wrath of Huerta
through the good offices Of the German
minister.
Since his arrival in the United States
Mr. SommerfeId has been engaged in
special work for both Carranza and
Villa.
1t is not known here whether his COM
ing at this time had any relation to the
split between Carranza and Villa, but 1t
is believed that it did. After holding
several conferences yesterday with menu
bers Of the constitutionalist agency and
at least one high official. he took a late
train south, presumably for Laredo, Tex
Says There Is No Breach.
During his stay. Mr.. Sommerfeld re-
fused to make any statement regarding
the situation in Mexico. except to say
that there was no breach between Gen.
Carranza and Gen. Villa, but merely
misunderstanding in respect to interpre-
tations of orders and the authority OF
certain civilian officials in Chihuahua.
THE whole thing amounts to absolute
Iy nothing Villa" said Mr.. Sommerfeld,
''entertains the most profound respect for
the first chief, and will obey his orders
implicitly. and I think that the present
exchange Of views now taking place will
serve to clarity the atmosphere to such
further clashes between civilian admin
istration and military operations"

ON FRIENDLY TERMS
WITH THE US. FORCES
Cordial Relations Between Mexicans
and Americans on the
West Coast.

less to San Diego. Cal. June 2O.-Evi-
dence Of the friendly relations existing be-
tween Mexican federal officials and the
United States naval forces on the west
coast of Mexico was given today when
Capt. Arenas of the federal gunboat
Guerrero sent a message to Rear Ad-
miral Howard. commanding the American
warships, informing him of the Guerrero
departure for Guaymas. expressing good
will and proffering service. 1t became
known today that Lieut.. Klein Of the de-
stroyer Preble, one Of the United States
warships in port when the constitutional
list gunboat was sunk by the Guerrero last
Tuesday. inspected the Tampico before
the battle at the request Of its COM
mander. Capt. Malpico.
Unprepared for Fight.
He found the vessel pitifully unprepared
for a fight. The guns were without
sights, and there were only 100 rounds of
ammunition. The ships boilers had been
burned out by the inexperienced crew,
and the Commander was crippled as q re-
sult of an accidental bullet wound In the
leg.
Capt. Malpico. however. determined to
fight, and four hours the Tampico made
q gallant struggle.
During its stay at Mazatlan the Guer-
zero was inactive. Captive officers from
the Tampico mingled freely with the
Guerreros officers on the quarterdeck
The cruiser Denver accompanied the
Guerrero today on its departure Tor Quay
mas.
Conditions are quieter along the entire
coast. The constitutionalists have with
drawn from the siege OF Mazatlan all
except a containing force. and are con-
centrating elsewhere.

THE BARBER-HAINES TROUBLE

AS stated heretofore, Governor
Haines recently discharged Game
Warden o. H. Barber and Chief
Deputy David Burrel, and there has
been quite stir about it. Political
opponents of Governor Haines have
been charging him with firing Bar
Der because he was against the gov
ernor's reelection, and was using the
travelling privileges of the Office to go
about working against him. 1t is
also said that Barber was exercising
poor judgment in some of his official
duties.
If all the charges were true it
would be no crime, and it is not at
all strange that two good men in
office who have been friends should
disagree and become arrayed against
each other. Such things have hap
pened before and will happen again,
and both men may be nearly right.
Each one misunderstood some things
and each one probably suspected
something that was not as he thought
it was.

LARGEST GUN

Think of a breach-loading gun that
fires a projectile weighing a ton and
uses 665 pounds of powder at each
discharge.
This immense gun, the largest in
the world, is now nearly finished and
will be shipped to Panama for forti-
fication defenses there early next
year.
1t is the latest triumph, so far as
gun making goes, of modern militar-
ism. 1t will carry it's projectile from
~ to 23 miles and will pierce at -
miles the thickest armor afloat.
When shell leaves the muzzle of
this gun it revolves at the rate of
about 1000 revolutions a minute and
its muzzle velocity is 225O feet per
second.
This terrible engine of destruction
is to be placed on the Notifications
for the defense of the great canal. The
imagination pals before any proper
estimate or conception of it's power
for deadly and destructive work. Yet
the present. constitution of society
around the world makes such guns
necessary. 1t will be long time yet
before the battle flags of the leading
nations will be furled and the parli-
'ment of man will be in charge of
human affairs. Meantime, each ma
ton must prepare for self defense.
when one reflects, however, that adj
vancing science in aeroplane warfare
is liable at any time to devise a met
nod Tor the demolition of such guns
a new problem presents itself. We
hardly know what to look for next.

BLACKFOOT HAS THEM

The following from a little maya
kzine called "Our Dumb Animals is
true estimate of the gossip and
Rslanderer:
Snakes like human beings run up
and down the whole scale of good
hand bad. OF all the bad snakes how
ever, the black cobra seems to head
the list for genuine capacity for harm.
He has been called the "most diaboli-
cal member of the snake family" Of
course there is nothing diabolical
about him, for whatever he does be-
cause he is born that way Where
ever this snake is found 1t is reported
that the spray of his venemous sail
va, which he can trow as far as eight
feet, will produce instantaneous
blindness when striking the eyes of
man. Sometimes this blindness is
permanent, sometimes it last but a
yday or two.
Here is fine illustration of the
liar and slanderer who goes about
|blinding people by splitting the
venom of SANDER and falsehood into
the intellectual eyes Of those he or
Pshe knows, till they are either per
manently blinded to the truth, or at
hleast so seriously incapaciated for see-
ing that they never can see straight

Nj. S. WALLOY BEATEN AND
THROWN OVER BLUE
LAKES GRADE

A man believed to be M. S. Malloy,
of Rupert, was beaten and thrown
over the Blue lakes grade, Friday,
suffering injuries from which he died
before he could be moved for treat
ment. John Emerson and Rolly An
derson, of Twin Falls, are accused
of his murder. Both men are at large
and officers of Twin Falls and Lin
coin counties are securing the country
for them.
The three men were together in
Jerome, Thursday, and were arrested
for disorderly conduct and kept in
Jail all night. They were released
Friday morning and ordered to leave
town. They started to ride to Twin
Falls but on the road began quarrel
ling which resulted in a fight. The
driver of the rig put the men out
and returned to Jerome.
There are evidences in the road
that the men engaged in a terrific
struggle and later Malloy was found
at the foot of the cliff with his skull
crushed and otherwise injured. He
died while being removed to stretch
er. Bank depost slips found in his
pocket were taken as evidence of his
indemnity.

SHOW POOR JUDGMENT

Public sentiment is bound to be
with Pete circuit, editor of the Oro-
fino Republican. First he was as
saulted by the treasurer of Clear
water county; then a double-fisted
deputy sheriff started in to annihi-
late him; and the manner in which
the sheriff acted in placing Circuit
under arrest at Weippe on July 4
was the worst break of all. That
sort or work can never win out. Ser
wants of the people are not supposed
to use their official power to vent
personal spleen. If circuit has been
Icing about Clearwater county Of
ficials for the past several months
why wasn't he hauled into court long
ago and asked to prove his state
ments? The officials in question
may be honorable, high-minded men,
free from the faint of graft in any
form; and Pete circuit may be the
biggest liar under the broad canopy
of heaven for all we know, but ac-
cording to all accounts all is not right
in that locality and the sooner it Is
cleaned up the better for ALL But
trying to muzzle circuit, by beating
him or otherwise humiliating him will
not help matters a particle, and peo-
pie who uphold such tactics will find
it out after a while.-Kooskia
