HAS NEW PLAN To
FURTHER PROJECT
FOR RECLAMATION
Salt Lake Financier Suggests
Congress Utilize Assets of
Service as Collateral for
Bonds and Broaden Pro-
grams Scope.

Twin Falls. Ida, Feb. 1.-THE ad-
visibility of adoption by congress of
a method of utilizing the assets of the
prosecution of reclamation work on a
reclamation service as collateral for
bond issues thus making possible the
larger scale than would be possible
under present methods is pointed out
by A. c. Miner. of the Miner corpor-
alton, Salt Lake, in letter received
here by James Mcmillan. Mr.. Miner
already has proposed this plan to
Governor Davis, and several United
States senators.
MY reason for taking deep inter-
est in having the new plan adopted"
he says, 'is that congress is afraid
that if they grant the $780, 100000 ap-
preparation desired by Secretary Lane
large projects will be initiated that
congress shortly would be called upon
for further large appropriations to
finish projects at a time when con-
gress is reluctant to increase the bur-
den of taxation on the people.
WOULD RELIEVE CONGRESS.
For fear, therefore, that congress
through its inability to guage the ex-
tent of the financial commitments
which it miglit eventually be called
upon to furnish for the reclamation
projects which might be initiated with
the first $100,000000 granted and
might reduce their appropriation to a
figure which would not permit of the
Bruneau project being undertaken, /
am trying to indicate definitely by
figures that the adoption of the plan
suggested and the appropriation OF
s1O0,OO0,000 would relieve congress of
further responsibility as 70 appropria :
tions and would at the same time en-
able the service to proceed with sew
eral such projects as the Bruneau and
prosecute the work with great dill
gence, in which case the Bruneau
need not fear competition from feas-
ible irrigation opportunities located in
other sections.
1T Is important that congress should
adopt the new plan of finance If the
west is to be materially benefited
through government work.
URGE HUGE PROJECT.
Great pressure is being brought to
bear upon Washington by several
western states to induce an enormous
reclamation program on the Green
and Colorado and New Mexico, in
volving about 100000 acres.
1T is immaterial who gets the
credit for interesting the government
in the Bruneau or in the financial
plan, but it is material that both
propositions are fully considered and
adopted il the state OF Idaho is to be
benefited.
1T would seem that the enormous
reservoir capacity at American Falls,
ample water supply at that point and
demonstrated prodActiveness of south
ern Idaho soil, coupled with physical
conditions favorable to economical
constructions should be potent advo-
Gates for the Bruneau, but these points
should be forcibly presented to Wash
ington."

STORM STILL RE|CNS SUPREME; WIRES
REPAIR BALKED BY SNOW BOUND TRAINS
Communication Conditions Grow Worse With Miles of Wires
Prostrate in Kansas and Nebraska Snow Drifts
Block Traffic in Midwester rn States.

Denver, Colo, Feb. 14-The Pa
cltic coast and Rocky mountain re-
gons today faced another day of
badly interrupted wire communi-
cation with the east. Officials of
telephone and telegraph compan-
les declared conditions have grown
worse since sleet and snow storms
in Nebraska and Kansas Wedncs-
day night carried down miles of
trunk lines.
Inability to get repair crews to
the scene owing to the stalled
trains increased the difficulty in
reopening direct communications.
Recruiting via Canada or along the
southern route offered prospects
of limited news wire service, al
though tremendously heavy file
of messages are reported from all
relay points.

Mayor Says Upon Decision Of
Mine Engineers Rests Walk
outs Fate; Aye Vote to Mean
Continued Strike.
EXECUTIVE EXPLAINS THE
SITUATION NOW EXISTING
No Tinge of Disorder, Nor Shot
Fired Since Trouble Began;
Says Small Minority Forced
Workers to Abandon Jobs.

Butte, Mont. Feb. 14-Upon the
strike vote Of the mine engineers Sat-
urday night will depend whether the
strikes tying UP Butte will be broken
or whether they will continue indef-
initely.
Mayor w. II. Maloney made this
prediction to the United Press today in
the course of an extended statement
covering the strike situation as we'll as
the city's financial condition.
MaloneY's action at the offset Of the
strike in threatening to discharge all
firemen and policemen at Ioon of that
day because they could not be paid, was
one of the outstanding features of the
strike and was exclusively carried On
that day in United Press dispatches.
Butte policemen are still unpaid ami
apparently will remain so for some
time. Business interests refuse to cash
their warrants. feeling that the mill
tary will police the city. F'iremen are
being paid, however.
MAYORS STATEMENT.
The Butte strike situation" said
Mayor Maloney, has resulted in the
following conditions:
Following the cut in wages by oper-
ators of the copper mines, amounting
to a dollar a day and loss of Sunday
work, a certain element, claiming to
be the only union of miners in Butte,
picketed the mines and so intimidated
miners that they ceased work.
SINCE then street car men, machin-
lists and several smaller organizations
have ceased work, largely because
there is nothing for them to do, in face
of the attitude of the miners who have
not cared to go to work because of
the influence of the small numerical
opposition.
"All miners unions declare the
strike was not declared by their organ
tzation, but by mass meeting. The
two central labor bodies, one control
led by the element referred to, unable
to declare a strike, voted to instruct
delegates to report back to the unions
in sympathy with the movement.
ORDER MAINTAINED.
Since then there have been sta
toned here soldiers to the number of
several hundred to maintain order but
1t has not been necessary to proclaim
martial law and the city is free from
disturbance of any kind, except of Il
minor character, and probably will re-
main so.
Much Importance is placed On the
vote of the mine engineers Saturday
night. 1t is believed if they remain
firm the backbone of the strike will ne
broken. Otherwise it will be prolonged
Indefinitely.
80 far not a shot has been fired.
There have been no street gatherings

George Day, Oakley, Former

$780, 900, 900 Project.
WOULD SEND DELEGATION
TO CONSULT SEC. LANE
Says Time Has Come for Ac-
tion on Proposition That Of
fers an Opportunity Such as
Never Before Presented.

The greatest opportunity in the his
tory of Idaho to divert for development
work in the state-millions of dollars
to reclaim thousands of acres of land
as homes for soldiers and sailors-has
arrived and the state should act as u
whole in presenting it's claims to con-
gress for part of the 500, 900. 900 appro-
priation to be made. This is the opin-
ion of George Day of Oakley, for many
years state land commissioner of Ida
no, probably the best posted man on
land resources and values within the
states boundaries. He proposes 4
statewide convention to be held at
Boise in the very near future at which
representative business men from all
parts of the state can be present to
decide upon a definite plan to be fol-
lowed and back it up by sending a
strong delegation to Washington to
place Idaho's claims before the interior
department 4.
IDAHO MUST STRIKE.
THE time has come for Idaho 20
move and to do so swiftly and without
further delay" said Mr.. Day, in pro-
COnSluGrdIlOn.
Probably never in the states history
was such an opportunity presented that
if realized upon will mean so much 20
the state.
Il am for Idaho moving as a whole in
this matter and of presenting the
states claims in concrete form to con-
gress and the department of the inte-
rior. For that reason l propose that
there be held in the state, probably
Boise, a. state wide convention of rep
resentative men from every one of its
counties to discuss just what plan is
best to be followed to secure part of the
appropriation congress Is about to
make.
ACT AS A STATE.
ANY federal money that is spent
in Idaho for the reclamation of lands,
be they stump, swamp or arid, will
help the state as whole, so we must
look upon it as a state wide PROPOSE
ton and be broad in our views. No
state in the union can present to con-
gress or to the department of the in
terror better claims than can Idaho for
federal funds to reclaim lands that will
mean future homes for our soldiers,
sailors and others. l would sooner
have 100 acres of good Idaho land than
a whole section Of land it is proposed
to reclaim in the southern states. Our
land is superior in every way.
CLUBS SHOULD ACT.
"Up and down the great Snake
river valley, in western and northern
Idaho there should be something stir
ring at the present time. Every COM
mercial club. board of trade and civic
organization should meet in this state,
discuss the matter of centralizing our
efforts to secure federal funds. name
delegates to a state convention and
