Palouse Project Condemned
The Idaho legislature this morning
took direct slap at the Palouse pro
ject in Franklin county, Washington
and under suspension of rules unani-
mously passed S. J. M Z, memorable
ing congress to make no appropria-
tions to this project in SO far as it re-
1ates to the reservoir site in Latah
county, Idaho.
Senator Day declared that govern
ment officials had heretofore turned
down the project but that annual boom
promoters have revived the project in
the hope of finally securing govern
ment aid and forcing appropriations.
He said the installation of a reservoir
in Latah county would cause irrepara-
BILE damage to farms there. Senator
Grant of Clearwater voiced similar
sentiments and denounced any plan
that would destroy 1900 acres of choice
farmland in Latah county. Bundy of
Nez Perce also supported Day.
The case of the First National Bank
against the Regents of the University
was heard in the supreme court which
held that 1t was without jurisdiction,
and that the bank should seek relief
in the district court. The latter court
rendered decision in favor of the
bank, and on appeal by the defendants,
the supreme court confirmed the dis
trict courts findings. No decision
against the bank was ever rendered.
The bill for the relief of the bank
passed the house 27 to 7, and the SEN
ate "a to 6. 1t is possible that it will
be passed over the governors veto.
