Director Davis in the call for the
conference just issued, specifies the
discussion shall turn upon the pro-

was passed by congress and signed
by the president last May. 1t directs
the secretary Of the interior to in
vestigate and recommend plans to
solve the irrigation and reclamation
problems Of the Imperial Valley and
adjacent territory. The government
has provided $4,000 for this investi-
cation and the Imperial Valley and
other beneficiaries will provide $780,
900 more The investigation, of
course, is conducted by the United |

One of the basic reasons for the
Investigation called for by the Kin

ty of building the All-American
Canal which has been under discus

Director Davis has emphatically en-
lorsed the plan. If the canal is

BIG PYTHON TAKES
POSSESSION OF BRIDGE

VICTORIA, B. C-For brief time
following her departure from Singa-
pore the bridge of the British steam
ship Bolton Castle was under control
of gaigantic python. In the early
morning of the second day out from
the Straights Settlements port, the
quartermaster, at the wheel, was
startled by the massive snakes head
appearing at the pilot house door.
The python had calm and undis-
puted possession of the pilot house
and the ship took a few turns without
guiding hand before the snake
made the next move. The last the
officers saw of the visitor was its
tail as it disappeared overheard It
was one of three shipped at Singa-
pore to a menagerie at New York.

Travelling Passenger Agent Here.

E. A. Klippel, Jr., travelling pass
enger agent for the Union Pacific
system, with headquarters in Spo-
kane, spent last night in Moscow.
Mr.. Klippel says the business of the
railroad is increasing so rapidly since
it was returned to private control,
that it is difficult to secure equip
ment and motive power enough to
handle all of it. "We could do more
business if we had more rolling
stock and more power" he said. The
road is now running double header
trains to handle the freight through
Moscow owing to the closing of the
lewiston -Riparia road.
