progress toward organization of the
district has been made by the land
owners lately.
Cut to 6,t20 Acres
The Characterization project, in
Dawson and Prairie counties, embrace
Ing 34,44O acres, was the largest con
templated. Its acreage could not, &C
cordIng to the engineers surveys, be
and on recommendation of the state
reduced to include only 6,120 acres.
It is now known as the Upper Glen
dive-Fallon district. in Dawson and
Prairie counties which has been or
ganized and will probably be the next
OF the districts organized under the
state law to call for bids on its
bonds.
The proposed Brockway district of
3,253 acres in McCone county, was
found not feasible. For the Valley
View district, $3.50 acres, in Broad
water county. final plans are nearly
completed. The East Bench project
in Beaverhead county proposes to put
water on q 200 acres. The plan has
been held feasible by the engineers
and final surveys are now being made.
Several Not Feasible
The Harlowton-Durand project in
Wheatland county proposes watering
32,S54 acres. Plans for it, now be-
ing prepared, will probably be com
pleted next week. Plans for the Jol-
let and White Horse Bench district
of $4,000 acres in Carbon county
were investigated by the engineers of
the state irrigation commission and a
new system of storage and distribution
suggested as more feasible. For the
Newlan's Creek district, 1870 acres,
in Meagher county, plans have APP
parently been dropped by the land
owners. The Woods Guleh district,
to embrace LOO acres in Meagher
county, was found not feasible.
Land owners in Gallatin county
filed a petition for formation of the

IRELAND SCORNED
IN ENGLISH BODY
British Body Gets Under Way
With Only Part of
Irish Seated.

London, Nov. 2O.-A parliament in
which Ireland, with the exception of
part of Ulster, is not represented and
in which the labor party appears as
the chief contender for recognition as
the opposition, opened Monday after
noon.
For a moment the clerk assumed
charge of the proceedings, but instead
of speaking he merely pointed a finger
Mt 7. z. O'Connor, father of the
house, who promptly proposed John
Henry Whitley for reelection as
speaker. When this choice should be
confirmed the house adjourned to re-
ceive the kings formal assent to its
choice of speaker.
The swearing in of the new mem
bers is expected to occupy Tuesday
and Wednesday.
The rush of members to the house
of commons to obtain their seats for
the opening session of parliament was
the biggest since the wal and long be-
fore 8 O'Clock when the doors opened
a small crowd had gathered to "peg
claims" for favored places. When the
doors opened the members rushed in,
snatched cards from the attendants
and raced up the steps for the desired
positions.

Seattle Woman
Gains
";
On TanlaC


"Tanlac has been the finest thing in
the world for both my husband and
myself" declared Mrs. Anjusina Kelley,
of 1870 Kenny St., Seattle, Wash.
my husband suffered from stomach
and liver trouble and had gotten SO
thin and weak he could hardly walk,
but Tanlac put him in the best of
health and built him up SO much that
he had to have his clothes let out.
II had suffered for twenty years
from stomach trouble and had become
so weak / couldn't look after my house
work. Backache, headaches and dizzy
spells almost drove me distracted.
Well, Tanlac did such wonderful work
for my husband that / began taking it,
and besides restoring my health it
actually built, me up fifteen pounds.
I ever have an ache or pain now and
/ have SO much strength and energy
that | easily do all my h~ousework."
Tanlac is sold by all good druggists.

Meadow Farm Irrigation district, but
went no further.
A proposal to create a district
which would take in $1,000 acres in
|B~roadwater county, to be known as the
Grow Creek district, was found not
feasible by the states engineers. An
Iother district in Broadwater county,
the. Brockway Ash Greek district, in
cluded only 237 acres. The plan has
bound feasible by the engineers and
the state is awaiting deposit oil: the
small sum by the land owners re-
CURED before final survey is made.
Court Kills District
Final surveys are now being made
on the South Bench district, which. it
it is proposed, will include 2O.717
acres in Gallatin county. Proposal
to create the Silver Irrigation district
of 1880 acres in Lewis and Clark
county was annulled by the court.
The Bracket Greek district, project
ed to take in 332,320 acres in Park
county, has been found not feasible.
The Fish Creek district has been
surveyed and the plans approved by
the state commission. It's proposed
36,140 acres will, however, be cut
to q trifle less than 5000 acres, for
| which adequate water can be assured.
Later, il disputed water rights from
| Sweet Grass creek and other streams
can be cleared up, a larger area may
be irrigated.
Thea@latest proposal for formation
of a district came from land owners
in the n~eighborhood of Victor, in Ra-
valli county. A preliminary nyesti-
CATION has been made by Fred E.
Buck. engineer for the state irrigation
commission, and further action by the
laid owners toward organization is
awaited. 1t proposes watering in the
vicinity of 5000 acres.

ITALIAN AMBASSADOR
CRITICIZES TARIFF BILL
Praises sHerald' Stand at a
Luncheon on NelU Liner.

About 500 guests OF the italian Cham
Der Of Commerce in New York yesterday
inspected the new passenger liner Of
the Lloyd Sabaudo at her pier, 95 North
River. Luncheon was served on the up
per deck, which is used rather than the
main dining room when the weather Is
favorable, and after there were talks by
Vittorio Rolandi-Ricci. Italian Ambassa-
dor to the United States, and DR.. Meri-
gito Serrati, director OF the Lloyd Sa-
baudo.
Mr.. Rolandi-Rcci said that enactment
OF the tariff bill now in Congress would
have depressing effect upon Italian
trade with the United States. He
praised the stand taken by THE NEW
YORK HERALD for a scientific treatment
OF the tariff problem. He called upon
italian business men to aid in the inn
portation OF products from italy
DIR. Serrad said that the operation OF
the Conte Rosso. to be followed later
by the Giulio Cesare, meant that Italian
steamship lines were turning away from
the immigrant traffic, to which they
were mainly confined In the past. in
favor OF luxurious service second to
none. The Italian lines. he said. would
have to cooperate for the benefit of the
country's trade and shipping.

SUBSIDY PROSPECT
DISTURBS MARKET
Foreign Operators Trying to
Overcome ) Per Cent. In
come Cut for Shippers.

The prospect of the passage OF the
ship subsidy bill is already causing
disturbance in some sections OF the ocean
freight market, according to shipping
men in close touch with the situation.
Shippers and operators are joclSeying for
position in the expectation that the time
is not far off when the indirect aids for
American vessels provided in the legis-
lation will be made effective.
What is causing particular concern Is
the provision permitting shippers to de-
duct from their income taxes per
cent. Of the total freight money paid on
products carried in American vessels.
The advantage to ships of domestic reg-
istry that would accrue from the opera
tion of this feature OF the marine act
has yet to be precisely determined. but
It Is conceded to be considerable.
Some operators of foreign ships arc
said to be desirous of concluding long
term contracts with shippers, IL neces-
sary at rates under current conference
tariffs. and to this rather than the gen
eral overtonnaging Of the market Is
ascribed the recent disturbances In the
conferences, including the Mediterran-
ean-Levant. the Spanish, the French
Continental and the Hamburg Bremen.
Long term sugar and provision con-
tracts were the center of most OF the
disputes. 1t Is argued that the income
tax feature of the proposed legislation
cannot become effective while these con-
tracts are In force.
1t Is q moot point whether a cut In
ocean freight rates of per cent. by
foreign operators under the American
level would mean the same thing to the
shipper as the income tax deduction. In
the view OF the trainers of the legisla-
ton, the advantage to the American ship
could not so be overcome. Uncertainty
over this point contributes to the gen.
orally disturbed state of the market.
