WITH TEN THOUSAND CLUB

A lively though brief discussion fol
lowed the introduction of resolution
by the chairman of legislation, Mrs. F.
ID. Jacobs, yesterday at the Ten Thous-
and Club, opposing the Walsh bill which
proposes to dam Yellowstone lake, and
to drain Fall river basin. The resolu-
tion also voiced strong opposition to
the bill proposing to dam two branches
Of the Kings river in Roosevelt Sequoia
Park, the latter being sponsored by
Los Angeles City.
The opposition was ably presented
by Mrs. jacobs, but some of the mem
bers took issue on grounds that there
are always two sides to a question and
no information was Forthcoming favor
ing the two measures. Mrs. Harry Ell
lison opposed the motion, stating that
she had until recently lived in the
section of California where it is pro
Tosed to use the water of Kings river
for irrigation, a great necessity if pro-
ductiOn in that country is to continue.
It was stated that the General Feder-
alton of Clubs has opposed the two
propositions and that Ebell of Los An
geles is strongly opposing them on the
grounds that the granting of such right
would establish precedent to com
mercialize national parks.
Only small number of those present
felt satisfied to commit themselves to
either side,. but the majority voted on
the motion for the affirmative and it
was carried, though it was decided to
withhold the letters to representatives
in congress until after the next meet
ing of the club to give opportunity for
reconsideration after the bills have
been studied more thoroughly.
