HARDING TO help
Save j. s. PARKS
FROM RJINATl0N
TOnight's Speech to Cover
Western Irrigation,
Reclamation
By LAWRENCE MARTIN,
u. S. Staff Correspondent.

ABOARD PRESIDENT HARD
ING'S SPECIAL TRAIN EN-
ROUTE TO SPOKANE, Wash, Juli
2.-Problems Of developing western
irrigation and reclamation and high
ways transportation, will engage
President HaIding's attention in an
address to be delivered in Spokane
tonight.
Mr.. Harding has strongly defined
elopment as national problem
which he intends TO express. He has
in mind three cardinal points around
which his entire western policy vii!
reVolve:
]. The west must be given the
fullest opportunity for development:
but it should be self development as
largely as possible and not devel-
opment through paternalism.
2. Development must never be at
tie expense of the great natural
wonders Of the county, such as
Yellowstone National Park.
3. Irrigation and reclamation
prOiec must be "followed
through by the government sc
that he Individuals involved will
have a 100 per cent chance to make
good on the reclaimed land.
Will Protect U. S. Parks
After two DAYS in the Yellow
stone, the president is more thar
ever out of sympathy with those
who see in the wonder cataractS
only so much power going to waste
He probably will serve notice il
his Spokane speech that so long a
he is president the great nationa
park system will be protected and
if possible extended.
While in Yellowstone, Mr.. Hard
! ing was told that the project fol
dammina the river above the canvol
| to provide water for irrigation was
not dead, only sleeping. The pres
ident who was standing at the time
at Artist s Point, declared emphatic
ally that never, so long as he coul,
prevent it, would that scene bc
| desecratcd by commercialism.
He feels there is enough water il
the western territory to provide fol
irrigation and water power without
touching the peoples parks.
The party is due in Spokane thi'
Mcacham, Oregon, Tuesday, to- o'speai
afternoon. The president will go IL
at an Oregon Trail celebration.

new ADVANCE OF
FRENCH TROOPS In
RUHR DISTRICT ON
Move in Reprisal for
Bomb Outrage That
Killed Many

Advance of French troops IN the
Ruhr and Rhineland began at dawn.
rhe move is believed here to be in
reprisal for the bomb outrage at
Hochfeld> Bridge Saturday in which
many Belgian soldiers lost their
lives.
Westhofen was occupied by the
French at a. IN. Reports from
Schwerte were,that a detachment of
so French cyclists was on its way
70 that city, while cavalry and in
fantry advanced in tile direction of
Hagen.
1t is reported that the entiIe
krupp works in the Rhur have been
seized and all work stopped. TIE
occupied areas have been cut OF
from the rest of. Germany as ra-
suit of sanctions following tie
Hochfeld outrage. No traffic, save
in foodstuffs, is allowed the Gea
mans. A typical example of the
form reprisals are taking is to be
found in the situation at Duisberg.
Twenty Citizens Held.
Twenty citizens were arrested
md held as hostages; coffee houses
and theaters were closed; vehiculal
traffic is prohibited; pedestrians
must keep off the street from lC
q. NJ. until d. m. Every time q
train passing through the occupied
area comes to bridge head the
German passengers are forced tC
alight. Then, with their hands hello
over their heads, they are driver
on foot over the bridge ahead of The
train and then taken aboard ON the
other side.
The border control has been tight
ened. Orders have gone cut from
the forces of occupation that ped
estrians attempting to cross the
borders by country roads will be
shot without ceremony.
