Origin of the Project

The Dubois project was started
about fifteen years ago and consid-
cradle work has been done in the
way of surveys, but no construction
work. A congressional committee
led by Senator Fred T. Dubois of
Blackfoot made trip to the head
waters of the Snake river in 1902
for preliminary observations. APP
preparations were afterwards made,
and the department of reclamation
and geological surveys kept many
men working for years, gathering
information and surveying. The
tract as contemplated in that work,
contained about quarter of mil
lion acres, lying in the upper valley
of the Snake river, occupying most
of the territory south of the Bitter
Root mountains to line exending
westward from Roberts to the sinks
of Birch creek

London, July s.--American brains. II

drafted to aid the British prohibition
lists in their campaign to make Britain
dry, according to G. B. Wilson. secre-
tary of the United Kingdom Alliance,
who returned this week after an eight
weeks visit to New York. Detroit and

p. A. Baker, general superintendent;
Ernest Cherrington. general secretary,
and DR.. Wayne B. Wheeler. legal ad-
wiser OF the Anti-Saloon league, to
stump England. Scotland and wales in
the prohibition campaign. Mr. Wilson
said today:
The American speakers will tell
Britain the results achieved in America
through prohibition. They will tax to
business men and employers on the
benefits of having sober employees The
biggest argument will be that the
adoption of prohibition has brought
about a 10 per cent increase in pro-
duction in America. Thus. America
will be forging ahead of Britain in
trade, commerce and Industrial life
generally within year. The World
league against alcoholism promises to
help US too
The British campaign begins in
three months The whole island will
be flooded with speakers A bill is
being drafted for presentation to par
lament granting people the right of
local option. The issue probably will
lie introduced by Sir Donald Mclean,
the Asquithian liberal leader in the
house of commons. who is strong
prohfbitionist.
Scotland will be the scene Of the
greatest initial fight in 1890 when the
local Issue will be laid before the PEG

The neutrality of Switzerland

case OF the league making war upon

In order to be taken In without
