IN MEMO DRAM.

STEELMAN.-In loving memory of Edith
l.. Steelman. who left us to join the
angels May p. 1922.
When the evening shades are falling,
And I'm sitting all alone,
In nay heart there comes a longing
If my loved one could come home.
Oft and oft my thoughts do wande
70 her grave not far away,
Where they gently lowered her body
Just two years ago today.
In my heart your memory fingers,
Sweetly tender, kind and true.
There is no day, dear Edith,
That 1 do not think of you.
Sadly missed by her Mother. Sister

DUTCH EAST INDIES MAY
BUY POWER GEAR HERE

PHILADELPHIA, June S.--Java,
Sumatra, the Celebes and other is.
lands in the Dutch East Indies,
need electricity to light their homes
and drive the motors in the big
sugar factories, and they are look.
ing to the United States to supply
their needs.
The islands have waterfalls and
streams which will produce five
and one-half million horsepower,
and the numerous charters being
granted to private hydro-electric
companies foretell rapid progress
toward electrification, according to
information collected here by utility
officials.
Before the war Germany largely
controlled the island markets, but
since then the United States has
become their predominant shipper,
and 1t Is expected that much of
the material and equipment for the
new hydro-electric plants and for
the distribution and use Of their
electrical energy will come from
this country. Java alone requires
more than 10000 kilowats Of cur.
rent for domestic and industrial
service.

BILL PROPOSES
RECLAMA
RELIEF
House Measure Reported by
Committee to Be Pressed
for Early Passage

Revision of reclamation laws for
the relief of settlers on reclamation
projects and stopping payments by
such settlers on improbable lands
is provided in the bill reported favor
ably to the House today from the
House Irrigation and Reclamation
Committee. The bill authorizes the
Secretary of Interior to eliminate
lands from reclamation projects
proved non-profitable in agricultural
production relieving the settlers on
such lands from payments estimated
to total $28,000,000. 1t provides for
readjustment of the water charges
paid by settlers which hereafter
shall be based on the average esti-
mated crop values.
Settlers on new projects will be
given thirty years instead of twenty
years as at present to pay back to
the Government the cost of the land,
and the Secretary of the Interior 10
given authority to pass upon the
character, capacity and capital Of
new settlers and special economic
advisors to assist the settlers in crop
production. A fund is given the Sec
retaries of Interior and Agriculture
to inspect and pass upon the values
of swamp and cut-over lands for re-
clamation or irrigation. A provision
in the original bill authorizing indi-
vidual loans up to $500 to settlers
for the purchase of livestock was
rejected by the committee.
Chairman Smith, in charge of the
bill, was instructed by his commit
tee to make every effort to secure
passage Of the bill before the close
Of the present session, June z. The
bill was reported from committee by
a vote of IL to 1, being opposed by
Congressman Baker. Oem.). of Cal

When the ships locked in Balti
