Numerous of the state papers are
already urging the adoption of
Amendment No. to be submitted to
the voters at the November election,
and if the voters are acquainted with
the merits of it there is no doubt but
what they will register favorably. It
provides for a revolving fund to de-
velop state lands in Northern Min
nesota, and would directly or Indirect

Of the war discussions we have listened to

Lane states the proposition correctly
in the concluding paragraph of his
letter.
Our only hope lies in general

lines of the original reclamation act.
Such bill would command tre-

of the country, where they have
drainage problems which can not be

Williams who have local questions of
similar character at home.
Cordially yours,
(Signed) Franklin x. Lane.

The Secretary in his letter des-
cribes the situation as he sees 1t to-
day. During our many interviews l
presented to him the various plans
we discussed when | was in the VAL
I ley last summer, but he was not able
to accept them.
The Secretary holds that under the
law he cannot eXpend any part of the
Reclamation Fund" for the con-
struction of drainage systems, unless
they are part of existing reclama-
slider our suggestion that the San
Luis Valley project be made a part
of the Elephant Butte, N. NJ, recla-
nation system. and apparently feels
they have all the water at Elephant
Butte that they can use economically.
I find that the Secretary and his
advisers in the Reclamation Service
will not officially indorse the very
flattering report on the San Luis Val
ley drainage problem submitted by
Engineer Stannard. who spent sever
al months in the Valley.
l have reason to believe they con-
slider his estimates entirely too opti-
mistic. They do not believe the
drainage system could be constructed
for the sum he estimates and they
feel he is very much in error in his
calculations concerning the increase
in flow of the Rio Grande which
would result.
In word, my dear Shahan. we are
where we were when you and your
associates communicated with me on
this subject. with this exception: We
have apparently won the earnest
support of Secretary Lane, for he
says in his letter ''It is huge job
but l am with you"
1t is huge job and l do not in
tend to deceive the people of the
Valley as to the size of the obstacles
we must overcome.
First of all, let's dismiss from our
calculations all hope of having the
project built with the funds of. the
Reclamation Service. The Secretary
has decided that can't be done under
existing law.
Second. we must abandon hope, of
getting an independent appropriation
Senators Thomas and Shafroth have
been unable to get the slightest en-
couragement along those lines. The
trouble is there are too many Sena-
tors and Congressman who, have

FAVORS DRAINAGE PROJECT
FOR SAN LUIS VALLEY LANDS.
Sept. IL, 1916.
Hon. Roy Shahan.
Alamosa. Colo.

Nh'eAhVaas WV
My dear Mr.. Shahcn:
Now that Congress has adjourned
| desire to submit brief report on
our efforts to secure federal aid for
the construction CT a main drainage
system in the San Luis Valley.
Since returning to Washington
last December | have had number
of conferences with Secretary of the
Interior Lane and the officials of the
u. S. Reclamation Service concerning
this undertaking. | have had the
earnest cooperation of Senators
Thomas and Shafroth, and / am sure
i am well within the facts when | say
that they exerted In our behalf all
the influence that attaches to their
high Offices
The result of our many talks is
found in the following letter ad-
dressed to me:
My dear Mr.. Heating:
| am glad to know that you intend
to push the San Luis Valley drainage
matter at the next session. 1t will be
a huge job to get an appropriation
for work of this kind which is with
out precedent. but l am with you.
You have shown In the passage of
the child labor law an ability to
handle successfully great and un-
precedented measures, and l have
confidence in your ability to succeed
In this. OF course, this session has
been given up to a national program
and matters that might be considered
as purely local have been pushed
aside. We will at any time be pre-
pared to lay such engineers reports
as We have before Congress- when 1t
takes the matter up.
There has been no survey yet made
that would Justify statement as to
the cost. and the problem of the
manner OF payment has not been con-
sidered. Do you think 1t would be
practicable, as in the matter of good
roads. to have the Valley itself con-
tribute on the half and half basis?
Whatever payments the people have
to make to the government, l should
say. should be on very long time
with interest, SO that the principal
would be amortized at the end of the
period.
My hope was that a plan might be
developed, and it would have been
but for this war l think, by which
we could undertake great drainage
program. for you realize certainly
that project such as this is can
hardly be put through without the
support OF gentlemen like Senator

Even if Congress and the President
should agree on an increase in the ma
val building program serious prob
lem will arise because of lack of ship
building facilities in the United States.
the House Naval Affairs Committee
was informed ON Monday.
No matter how many battleships. bat
tie cruisers and auxiliary vessels may
be authorized, there is going to be
more trouble in finding place to build
them. Private shipyards are taxed to
their utmost, the committee was told
by Chief Constructor David S. Taylor,
of the Navy They must receive "ade-
quate consideration" he said. if they
are to be induced to build battleships.
Replying to questions by hte com
mittee Mr. Taylor said there are to be
completed for the Navy Department
sixty-eight vessels, among them nine
battleships. Two have just been begun
and one cannot yet be said to be on the
ways. The building program proposed
by theAdministration calls for fifty-six
additional ships of all classes.
In view of the fact that the ship
yards are now buster than for many
years there are misgivings on the part
of the House Committee as to the ia
cilities for building them.
IF we are going to authorize ships
we had better provide means for build
ing them" said Representative Butler.

The naval vessels now uncompleted
include nine battleships, seventeen de-
stroyers. thirty-eight submarines. two
fuel ships and one transport. There
are now no ways at the Government
yards on which new keels may be laid.

At the Mare Island navy yard the

which will be launched in q few
months. Ways will not be vacant at

CATION of the capacity of the private
yards showed that, working at full ca
pacity they could, with Government
plants, construct twenty-five ships at
once. Before this could be done, how
ever. many improvements, it is said
would be necessary.
