tative number of citizens. The large

suit of the splendid advertising ef-
forts of John f. Mason and Paul

sion was further enlivened by some

Situation to Be Taken UP
With the Appropriations
Committee of the Lower
House Of Congress.
GOVERNOR CONFERS
WITH THE SETTLERS
kilograms Are Sent Secre-
tary Lane, Senator Borah
and Congressman NC
Cracker, Asking That the
Matter Be Presented.

For the purpose Of calling the at
tention of the house of representatives
of the present congress, now in ses-
sion at Washington, to the King Hill
irrigation project in this state, a con-
ference was held with Governor Alex
ander today. r. R. Duffy and A. w.
Tingwall, representing the settlers on
the project, attended the conference.
1t was decided to take action i'm
mediately. Governor Alexander wired
Franklin X. Lane, secretary of the in
terror, Senator Borah and Congressman
McCracken to call the attention of the
committee to the matter. Prior to his
departure for Washington Congressman
McCracken conferred with the governor
relative to the subject.
SEEKING AN APPROPRIATION.
The governor has consented to use
his official and personal influence with
the secretary of the interior and the
members Of the appropriations COM
mittee to secure favorable report for
an appropriation for the project and
the enactment of bill authorizing the
department of the interior to take over
its management. The strongest kind of
representation will also be made to the
committee by Senator Borah and Con-
gresham Smith and McCracken. It is
believed that the net result will be the
incorporation in the general appropria-
tions bill of sum large enough to care
for It's needs.
The King Hill project is now owned
by the state. 1t was purchased at pub
lie auction several years ago. Since
then 1t has had a manager in B. P.
| Shawhan handling the projects affairs
The works have been kept up and
| through the expenditure of considerable
| money it has been held intact.
STATE NEAR THE LIMIT.
The state has gone about as far as
1t can in financing the project 1t is
said. The department of the interior
sent engineers to King Hill and a care
full examination was made of the works.
A report was later submitted by these
engineers to the department. Manager
Shawhan went to Washington to give
such additional information as the de-
partment wished. Since then the de-
partment has had the affairs of the
project under serious consideration.
If the project is taken over by the gov
ernment 1t will mark a new era in the
reclamation of irrigation projects in
the west under government supervision.
