for the League of Nations, was an

Democratic presidential nominee, af-
ter a busy day going thru his mail
and completing Saturdays program
for his notification.
More than half of his letters, both
here and at the Columbus executive
offices, Governor Cox said, discuss
the league declarations of Senator
Harding, his Republican opponent.
"Many are from Democrats" said
Governor Cox" "and state that they
see fine opening. Many others are
from Republicans and 1t certainly
looks as if the Independent Reputd-
can vote, which has followed with
great interest this whole. league
question, is thoroly dissatisfied.
The governor spent several hours
To-Day IN MS newspaper orf1ce mere,
working on correspondence, and after
visit to the Montgomery County
Fair Grounds, where he will speak
next Saturday approved brief pro-
gram.
The program calls for introduction

ceptance address.
The Rev. Martin Neville, of Holy
Angels Roman Catholic Church, is to
deliver the benediction. Mr.. Hale is
Republican and close friend of TIE

G. 0. P. IS SOLIDLY
BACKING HARDING
Republicans Of All Sec
tons Declare For The
Nominee.

Marion, o., Aug. "A claim of
complete Republican unity behind
Senator Harding, on the League OF
Nations issue was made in an official
statement issued today by Harding
headquarters here.
Chairman White of the Demo-
cratic National Committee" the state
ment sad. "has undertaken to ans
wer S'n;e questions recDu.ly address
ed to Governor Cox. His statement is
chiefly complaint because both SEN
ator Hiram Johnson and former Pres
ident Taft have expressed approval
of Senator Harding's position. 1T is
easy to understand how such eyideu-
ces of Republican unity are dispIeas-
ing to Mr. White, but it was no. an
ticipated that he would thus early in
the campaign make such frank az
Acknowledgements.
"lnasmuch as Mr.. White has thus
publicly and handsomely acclaimed
that all elements of Republicans are
approving Senator Harding's attitude.
1t may be added that he has sensed
the situation with admirable perspi-
cacity. Republicans of all sections
and groups are solidly in favor Of
Senator Harding's attitude. This is
proved by thousands of letters AID
kilograms from every State, among
which the numbers of States ccm-
monty Democratic are not less than
amazing. A large percentage are,
moreover, from men who describe
themselves as having heretofore been
Democrats.
Chairman White has made a cor
rect discovery that the Republican
party is completely unified. Repub-
licans are quite as satisfied in noting
the complete accord of the President
and the nominee chosen by the Dem
ocratic party"
Senator Harding held a string Of
conferences today and worked at
snatches between times on the next
front porch speech, which will be de-
livered Wednesday. Among those ON
his appointment list were Prof. Irv-
ing Fisher, Of Yale, Mayor Charles
Jewett, of Indianapolis and Represen-
tative Frederick C. Hicks, of New
York.
Mr.. Hicks, who has just completed
a trip through the West, told the can
didate that although there was soma
there over Senator
Johnson's defeat for the nomination
in Chicago, the people now are sat-
isfed' and that the Harding candi-
dacy was growing rapidly in strength
Currency initiation and other fiscal
subjects were discussed by Prof.
Fisher.
A prediction that Irish sympathiz-
ers will support Harding and Cool
idge was made by Representative
f. Mason, of Illinois, one OF
the leaders of the fight in Congress
for Irish recognition, in statement
made public from Harding head
quarters today after he had conferred
with the nominee.
Friends of Ireland of course have
to be for Harding" the statement
said, because they know what Ar
ticle x of the League covenant
means-it would hitch Ireland to En-
gland forever and bind us to help
keep it there; and Governor Cox has
pledged himself to support the Will
son programme.
Representative Mason predicted the
Republicans would carry Illinois by
at least 100000 and that the Repub-
lican national ticket would be elected
by majority "the most overwheIm-
ing since Grants"

WILL LET CONTRACT SOON
FOR BIG SUMAS DYKE PROJECT

Announcement is expected this
week of the letting of the contracts
] for the draining of Sumas Lake, the
] big project that will add thousands
of acres of good land to the farming
area north of Sumas.
/ This proposed development enter
prise was conceived as a possibility
as far back as 1872, when competent
reclamation engineers first passed
judgment upon it. Since then 1t has
run the gamut of hope and despair. 1t
has been characterized as a fanatic S
dream, an optimist's wild illusion,
but now reality is in sight and no un-
due stretching of the imagination Is
required to visualize the early COM
pletion of the project.
After the scheme is put into effect
there will be no Sumas Lake. In its
place Will be a wide canal carrying
off the waters of the Vedder river,
which each fall rush with great veloc-
ity into the lake. A system OF small
canals will spread like arteries over
the district, which will change from
an area of waters into fertile area
of gardens and farms devoted to in
tensive agriculture.
At cost of somewhere between
S1,5CO.0OO and 100000 an area of
fertile land will suddenly achieve a
value of anywhere from $6.00O.O0O to
$9,O0O,OOO. based on its production
value A single years crop will pro-
ciace more wealth than will be needed
to pay off the entire cost of the recla-
nation scheme. At a cost per acre
equal to but a fraction of the cost OF
logging wild land a virgin area OF the
highest class of garden land will be
made ready for the plough. Thus is
the epic of the engineer written in the
annals OF a nations industrial and
economic development.
The whole secret of the engineer
The Lynden tribune. [volume] (Lynden, Wash.) 1908-current, 1920-03-25

ing plan of campaign, as worked ont
by F. n. Sinclair. chief engineer for
the project under the provincial land
settlement board, lies in the fact that
Nature has so arranged it that while
the Fraser river has it's food in the
summer, when the sun melts the
SHOWS on the mountain peaks in the
Rockies, the Vedder's real danger
does not come till fall, when the alb
normal run-off from the Coast range
swells its stream into torrent.
Ever since 1872 efforts have been
made to Reclaim the area but without
any scheme winning the necessary
leadership to insure fruition. At one
time the B. c. Electric railway spent
500, 900 or more in engineering pre-
|liminaries, much of the data then Sc
cured being available now.
The diversion of the Vedder river
is the most important feature in the
project. A compensating canal is to
be dug through the bed of the lake,
the excavated portion of which will
be go feet wide at the bottom and
IL feet deep. Mammoth dykes will
be built on either side of the canal to
a height of 25 feet above the ground
level. There is a 100-foOt BERN to the
toe of the great dykes. During the
freshet period the canal will raise it's
flood above the 100-foot BERN. Great
ing a waterway $40 feet wide. When
the food is past, the water will drop
again to the protected low water
channel, which is designed to scOur
any material brought to the intake OF
the canal The great Vedder canal
will be over three miles long. 1t will
contain over One-half of the total ex-
cavation of 100000 cubic yards of
earth required to cut the canals and
make the earth dykes.
Twenty miles of river improvement
will be required along the south bank
of the Fraser river to keep that
stream from flooding the area while
the canal and pumps carry off the
food water from the Vedder river.
