U. S. ENGINEERS WILL
DEVELOP SOVIET REGION
Great Cotton Empire to Be Built by
Irrigation Project.

BIZ United Press
MOSCOW, May THE Soviet
government was going ahead
steadily today with plans for devel-
opment of one Of the worlds great
est cotton areas in Turkestan.
American engineers are now in
Moscow comforting with government
officials on plans for irrigation Of
the vast territory, made accessible
by the opening Of the Turkestan-
Siberian railway on May l.
The project when carried through
would mean the purchase Of mil
lions of dollars worth Of machinery
from the United States, but it also
would offer strong competition to
cotton belts of that country.
Several hundred American engi-
neers also would be employed to
carry the irrigation project to COM
pletion. Their task would be to
harness the plentiful waters Of the
Syr-Daria river.
The irrigation enterprise would
surpass anything in the United
States, the engineers said. If they
get the contract, and it appeared
they would, it was hoped 100000
acres of Turkestan would be under
cultivation by 1888.

last minute three or four senators

Galleries Are Packed
A hundred or more representatives
from the house crowded upon the
floor. Nearly every senator was in
his chair. Galleries were packed
with wives of government officials.

names of senators in alphabetical
