EXCHANGE OF MILEAGE
FOR "AD" SPACE URGED
Bill Would Permit Payment Of Rail-
road Advertising by Issuing
TRANSPORTATION Checks.

An amendment to the interstate COM
merce law which would permit Of the
interchanging Of newspaper advertising
space for railroad freight and passenger
transportation il proposed in a bill In
troduced in the House yesterday by Rep
resentative Adamson. chairman Of the
Interstate and Foreign Commerce Com
mittee.
The bill. which was introduced by Mr..
Adamson in 1910. seeks to guard against
abuses through provision requiring
that all interchanges shall be on the ba-
sis Of bona fide rates. The present law
prohibits such an interchange or any
understanding looking to such an ar
rangement.
Under the provisions OF the Adamson
bill a newspaper corporation would be
permitted TO receive from the operating
department Of a railroad a check call
ing for sufficient mileage for freight or
passenger traffic to compensate for ad-
vertising space at It's full value.
Judge Adamson also introduced a bill
aimed at fake advertising in interstate
commerce. as did Representative Kreider
of Pennsylvania Representative Rob-
erts, Of Nevada. introduced a bill impos-
ing a tax OF two per cent upon all mail
order business in Interstate commerce.

Sparkling and vivacious merry

every man and woman could be induced
to adopt the morning inside bath, what

Instead of the thousands of sickly,
anaemic-looking men, women and girls,

BoUNTIES ON WILD ANIMALS

Enacted by the legislature of the
State of Idaho
Section THAT Section 1877 of the
Revised Codes of Idaho read as fol-
lows: 1t is hereby made the duty of
the livestock sanitary board to ex-
ercise a general supervision over the
killing and destruction of coyotes,
wolves, bears and such other wild ami
mails as are in the habit of preying
upon or destroying sheep, calves, colts
pigs, poultry and other domestic
animals and fowls. The law intends
to exterminate such destructive ami
mails and to encourage the destruction
hereafter. For each lynx, coyote and
wild cat $3.50 each will be paid for
each; bear of wolf $1,000; for each
cougar or mountain lion $500. The
entire skin of each animal with all 4
feet attached must be presented to
the Inspector, who will detach and
keep all feet-Dr. J. D. Irwin, Asst

any time and they can go onto the

sary.
In Touch With Work.
In all probability as the reorgani-
zat1on progresses a large part of the
reclamation Office at Washington and
especially those employees who have to
do with engineering matters will be
moved to the Denver headquarters,
though that detail has not been ar
ranged and no decision has been
reached. The object of the reorganl-
cation, however, is to concentrate the
directing forces nearer the works than
has been possible under the direction
from Washington and that being true
it is expected the Denver office Will
become the largest Office of the re-
clamation service.
Saving to Settlers.
lust how much OF saving Will pc
effected by this reorganization Will
not be known until the plans are COM
pleted and it is known definitely what
Offices are to be abolished. The
economy, however. is expected to be
material and will result to the bene-.
fit of the settlers who are charged
with all the operating expenses of the
reclamation service-all the overhead
charges. These charges are pro-rated
among the projects and go to make up
the charge which the settlers are
obliged to pay when they pay for
water.
Several months will be consumed in
recognizing the reclamation service
according to the plans of Chief Engin-
neer Williamson, and the season will
be we'll advanced before the readjust-
ment will be completed. It is init
mated that after this season there will
be further reductions in the force. as
some projects are completed and
others carried to point where less
supervision is required.

LANE: PLANS TO AID THE
GOVERNMENT LAND
SETTLERS
REORGANIZATION OF RECLA-
NATION SERVICE MAKES
FOR EFFICIENCY.
Head Office at Denver-Many District
Headquarters Will Be Abolished
Chief Will Come in Touch With
Affairs-Money Will Be Saved to
Settlers.

Secretary Lane of the Department
of the Interior, acting upon sugges-
ton of Chief Engineer Williamson,
has decided upon a number OF impor-
tant changes in the organization of
the Reclamation Service. The changes
will promote efficiency and economy
so it is believed
A little over year ago Secretary
Lane created the Reclamation Com
mission for the purpose of lnvestigat-
ing the administration. This COM
mission has decided that the service
as at present organized is top heavy
and severely handicapped by the
Washington bureau.
AS the service stands it maintains
half a dozen division headquarters
located mostly in large cities not inn
mediately adjacent to the projects.
These officers are in charge of super
vising engineers at salaries ranging
from $4,000 to $4,000 per annum. The
supervising engineers have general
jurisdiction over projects in their gen
eral localities and to them the pro-
ject engineers consult. The city
division Offices are to be abolished and
most of the high-salaried engineers
not assigned to specific projects are to
be dropped along with some of their
clerks and assistants.
Central Office at Denver.
In lieu of these division headquart-
trail Office of the reclamation service
at Denver which is to be in charge of
Sydney B. Williamson, formerly a
member of the reclamation commits
sion, but now divorced from that body
and made chief engineer of the ser
vice. Mr.. Williamson will have gen
eral supervision over all construction
work and his recommendation will
be reviewed by the commission, re-
duced from FIVE to three members
with the final say in the secretary OF
the interior.
Abolish District Offices.
The district offices to be abolished
are at Portland, Los Angeles, Chicago
and Seattle, the Great Falls office
having been practically abandoned
when Supervising Engineer H. N. Saw
age resigned. His place has not and
will not be filled. The Office hereto
fore maintained at Denver will be abb
sorbed by the new western headquar-
tiers and will go out of existence as a
district headquarters. Hereafter, OF
when the reorganization becomes eff.

ton service will be entrusted to pro.
ject engineers, one on each project
and these men will operate under or.
ders from Mr.. Williamson at Denver

Chief Engineer Williamson, who is
largely responsible for the plan of re.
organization, after tour of the pro
jects found the work on many of then
so far advanced and the plans so full
ly developed that there is no Longer
any need for division headquarters
which have been largely advisory

PIONEER DISTRICT ELECTORS
APPROVE NEW CONTRACT
Only Two Dissenting Votes Cast
Time Extension Obtained.

The special election in the Pioneer
Irrigation District passed off very
quietly Friday last Only two votes
were cast against the proposition OF
changing the contract with the gov,
eminent. The vote was 247 "for" and
2 against"
The board of directors were au-
thorized by this election to enter in
to an amended contract with the
United States Reclamation Service
The new contract gives the district
20 years instead of 10 in which to pay
for the drainage works now under
way. 1t enables the district to take
advantage of the reduced cost of the
drainage works and Arrowrock reser-
voir.
