PUBLIC WORKS
BILL PASSED
$7O,OOO,OOO Asked to be Allocated
for Grand Coulee by Reclaim
alton Bureau

Hopes for the building of the
second unit of the Grand Coulee
dam or the socalled high dam,
rose considerably last week, when
it was learned that the $4,S0O,O0O
puplic works bill had passed both
the senate and house and had dis
patched to the President, who is
enjoying fishing trip, for his
signature.
Almost Immediately upon its
passage the reclamation bureau
recommended that 100000 be
allocated for the Grand Coulee
dam. While the $70,O00,0O0 would
not be sufficient to complete the
project. it would get the reclama-
ton features and high damn we'll
under way.
The bureau also recommended
,s6!29O,000 for enlargement Of
the Yakima. Tieton canal, and the
completion of the Yakima storage
reservoir in the Rosa project.
AS result of the passage of the
gigantic public works bill. things
are beginning to look up in the
dam site area. Almost every day
strangers are in the city looking
things over and 1t will not be sur
prising If building boom starts
here in the near future.

SOUNDS WARNING.
Be On the Watch, Keep Busy,
Holden Warns Dam Boosters.
Battle Not Yet Won.

Speaking before Wenatchee
nualence Monday afternoon, Ash
ley Il. Holden, executive secretary
OF the Columbia River Develop
ment league, said in part ''En
couraging though lit is, the an
nouncement by the bureau of rec
lamation that seventy million dol
lors ha sheen recommended forthe
high dam at Grand Coulee, should
not lull us into a false sence of
security" He pointed out that the
money had not YET been actually
allocated and that terrific pol
itical pressure is sure to be brot to
bear to defeat the ultimate COM
pletion of the project, even if the
high dam is authorized.
Continuing Mr.. Holden said:
much needs to be done towards
educating the nation, and particu-
larly the eastern states, with re-
gard to the benefits of irrigation
The realtask of the Columbia Riv-
er Development league Of all
friends of the Grand Coulee pro

[OULEE ROAD
EiuITow Believes Wilbur Alnira
Road Should Be Kept Up
Chiefly by Lincoln
County

According to a dispatch in Tues
day mornings issue of the Spo-
kesman Review, the state high
way department expects to main
tain the Coulee city-Damsie high
way with unexpected funds ap-
propriated by the state in 1898 for
this purpose.
State highway director Lacey
Murrow is credited as the author
ity At the same time Mr.. Munrow
said he believed the Wilbur-Almira
highway should be maintained
principally by Lincoln county. Mur-
rows statement to the associated
press follows:
By reason of the defeat of the
state highway code these two i'm
portant roads are after all only
county roads, with no money APP
propriated by the state in 1885 for
their maintenance
1t has been found, however,
there are some unexpected funds
appropriated in 1898, sufficient in
amount, to maintain the Coulee-
City-damsite highway, and 1t is
now the states intention to do so.

Plebiscite Long in Use
in European Arguments

In 1902, Bonaparte, when the SEN
ate refused to make him consul for
life, determined to Consult the peo-
pie" on the subie of his status. 1t
was unprecedented that a simple con-
sular decree shoul, order a plehiscite.
The fact that 1t did was rather coup
d'etat. The results of the plehiscite
were a singular success for Eonaparte,
observes a writer In the New York
Times.
The right to name his successor
was openly demanded by Napoleon In
the Senatus-C orsulte. Only one step
more was needed to make the right
hereditary and to enable him to give
himself a monarchial or imperial title.
This final step was taken In 1904
when the first consul Of the republic
became emperor of France. The prop
OsitiOn was submitted to a pebiscite
which was taken by universal suffrage
n the same form as it's predecessors.
N May, 1904 There were 3,572,329
affirmative and 1850 negative votes.
Probably the best known example
ef the use of the plebiscite In French
history was In 1852. when the comp
detat q 1851 was confirmed and the
title of Emperor was -est wed upon
Napoleon H. It was his use of the
plebisclte that made the term familiar
and connected 1t with the Idea or
despotlsm posing as liberalism. He
has even been described us "a plebis-
clte adventurer."

nesday of last week where they
conferred with Governor Martin
on relief work.
While there, they also saw IL
ficials fthe highway department

Grand Coulee highway was turned
back to the county was becausethe

ion on the highway bill. The de-
partment asked for funds to keep
the highway under control but
could not get any. it seems. The
matter has been taken up with
attorney general to see If there is
